Chapter 121: War

In the Northern direction of Theemai.

"Hah! Hah! You fucking pest!" Cinzia yelled and stomped the man's head under her feet until his skull crushed open splattering blood.

Thud! Thud!

"Miss Cinzia... He is dead already."

Dae Seok said in a low tone staring at the overly beat chunk of meat.

There were multiple dead bodies encompassing the building as the three stood in the middle tainted with blood.

They had killed every threat possible without initiating a conversation as Nix said. It'd really shame that they slaughtered even the innocents. Moreover, this had stirred up the stability of the Northern direction very much. Nix had this visionary of taking the town's support. He might not have the slightest experience of ruling over things and he was currently not interested but needed at least hundreds of Outsiders to fight Zerast and Feroz khan.

Cinzia did what was necessary without hesitation and killed both the Outlaws and Regulars and announced Transgressors' arrival and their need for members.

"What's it?"

"If you reduce the casualties of the upcoming siege. I'll sell the outsiders under me without hesitation."

Rachael said with a smile.

"I see...Protecting people huh? Okay, I'll do it."

"Thank you for your visit, Mr.Nix. Please visit often."

"Aight see you."

He rose from his seat, walked out of the room and left with Tarok to his clan house.

"Yo buddy! What happened with United Outsiders."

"We are in an alliance now. Alright, I'll be right back."

He said entering the building and approached Rebecca's room.

"Ohh! My hero! I've been waiting for you."

Rebecca said playfully.

"Well, My lady, can you drop your maidenly act?"

Nix said with a smirk and sat opposite her.

"What are you going to do after recovering."

"Hmm, Obviously I'll be leaving and your debt has been paid so, you are in no place to feel indebted to help me out from here on."

"What If I say there will be a war arising?" He said and looked into her eyes with a serious expression.

"Seriously? Who are you? You were just a kid a year ago and now... You are here telling me a prophecy?"

"Rebecca...I don't care about those shits. I seriously don't care if you believe what I said or not. But, you should stay here."

"Tch, why do you even care? I am the one who branded you, Remember?"

"I don't know. But, This is something I'd need to do... Well, Firstly would Ranrak even take you in?"

"Why wouldn't they?" Rebecca asked back immediately.

"Haha, You are with the Mastermind of Chaos, Remember?"

He laughed and swept his hair upwards as Rebecca quietly stared at him.

"You look kinda hot now..."

She mumbled in a very low tone.

"What?"

"Hmmph! Nothing, I said your dumbass don't have to care about those things." She pouted with her hands crossed.

"Ohh! I'll be leaving then. There is a siege coming up in two days from now so I gotta prep." He said and turned towards the door.

"Well, whatever... I wanted to ask something..." Just before Nix could leave she opened her mouth in a loud voice.

"Yeah?"

"Are you a Commander of a clan now?" She asked with her brows lifted, doubtfully.

"Yeah, something like that." He said nonchalantly.

"Deputy commander huh?"

"Nah, I am the Lord of the clan," He said indifferently and placed his cigar and lit it up.

"You are Flexing... aren't you?" She said and snatched his cigar with a smirk.

"Smoking is not good for health."

She said and placed the cigar in her mouth.

"It is not good for you too."

He said and placed another one.

"Off I go then."

He bid farewell and went back to his room and left for the place where he trained previously.

As he walked he found a few people looking at him with hostility and some with fear and some gave out a normal gaze. They seem to be working around the ground as they tightened and repaired the mechanisms of the siege weapons.

He just ignored the people around him and pulled out his dagger and called for Astaroth.

'Astaroth!...'

{Seems like you are doing well.}

"Hah, I was doubtful but you've woken up?"

{I can just speak for a few minutes. Since we've already made a connection I could wake up from time to time, unlike last time.}

"I'd like to know how to emit pressure...I mean that killing intent."

{Ohh, That? It's more like a taunt yet, it can show your hostility towards the opponent. If you possess a lot of mana and you boast extremely high power. You can even make your fall into the pit of fear.}

"How do I do that?"

{The key to that is your mana. Just try it yourself. I am going back to sleep now... Just keep killing people to stabilize my existence fast. I am growing weak...}

Abruptly his sentence ended without finishing what he was about to say.

'Hah, Fuck it'

He muttered and began to arouse his mana closing his eyes. From what he learned from Reegan. He learned how to hide and captivate his mana without leaking which he has been continuously practicing.

He did have a hint about how the killing intent is being used. So, he tried to pursue the same technique by releasing the mana out of his body encompassing around him which he terribly failed even after three hours.

Over a few minutes he learned something else instead of what he was trying to do.

[The User have succeeded in achieving mana sense]

'Huh?'

He furrowed his brows staring at the message.

In fact, Mana sense was rather useful to him than the killing intent. Mana sense was something like a radar. His mana core that committed his unique mana signal picked up the others inside the vicinity where his mana was spread. Nix's mana sensitivity was obviously at the lowest. He'd have to practice more and increase his mana to even notice assassins around him.

He ignored it and continued to pursue killing intent for almost the whole night until he achieved it.

[The used have succeeded in achieving Mana emission]

Mana emission is what that's connected to killing intent. The more immense and focused mana he releases covering his body the more threatening and suppressing the opponent feels. If the opponent is weak and possesses a weak mental strength and physical prowess accompanied with low mana would obviously even faint from immense pressure. For now, Nix was at the level of taunting. He'd have to literally train every single ability and miscellaneous abilities and skills to the pinnacle to be one of the rising Outsiders and big shots of chaos mainland.

***

Kim Woo Sung and Xan Liu Wei are some of the legendary Regulars of Chaos mainland favored by the Integrity gods. Two years ago they were selected as apostles. They were sent on a mission to the western continent, but unfortunately, they were called to help the regulars.

"Welcome, Sword sage Xan Liu Wei and Spear Sage Kim woo sung."

They were welcomed by Administrator Ferandel.

"Thank you"

They both nodded and took their seats.

"Now this meeting is about raising our defense in opposing the Sins. It seems they've arrived at Chaos mainland too."

"Dracton has prepared everything necessary to strike." The administrator said standing before him a huge whiteboard facing the set of people on the conference table.

Just as usual the king was having his meal leisurely without a care in the center of the table.

"All we can do is hope that the Duke Grendon doesn't intervene in the war."

Liu Wei said indifferently in a cold tone.

Liu Wei's attitude and aura were cold just like the manner he spoke. He didn't care about the King or the others and the expression on his face was rather proud. He possessed a long tied up shiny black hair and a buffed-up body conveyed he is a great martial artist. Indeed which is why he was selected as the apostle of Martial god. 

And opposite him was the spear sage Kim woo sung.

Kim woo sung seemed casual and a warm person. He was quite lean compared to Liu Wei. His hair was red in color and his skin tone was white as milk.

"I agree, we cannot risk facing Grendon."

Kim woo sung said with a smile and sipped his glass of water. 

"We'd have to wait until they wake a move." The administrator.

"Indeed, We cannot take risks..." Both the word sage and Spear sage said in a unison.

The war was commencing faster than Nix had anticipated. He didn't obviously want to participate in the war but, what he was worried about was the Prophecy and the weight it carried. 

He'd lose everything... It was rather a very vague yet threatening term. He still had his hands full and many things to take care of that he cannot sleep much over the past few days.
