Chapter 254 - Part Three: Killing Darius Case

(From MC Perspective)

"Hey, Darius! Why are you here?" I said.

Darius has a gloomy expression hearing his words. Due to a small calculation failure, now he has to confront Zack. But soon the gloomy expression on his face was replaced by a ruthless glint, "I want to see, What good is the No.1 Rank Holder?" He sneered.

He thought since both of their level is at Initial Special Trainee there won't be any much of difference. So he made his move. He wanted to strike Zack first but before he could make his move.

A horrible pressure envelopes him suddenly,

"What?" Darius screamed. He would have never imagined a situation like this. The pressure released by Zack is unlikely for the Initial Special Trainee Warrior.

Pfff!

He spilled a large amount of blood from his mouth.Several of his inner organs burst open. Making him roar in agonizing pain. He couldn't even fathom what is happening right now. His eyes were wide open staring at Zack.

Though there is one level between them. Yet, Zack's aura is innately stronger than other warriors. So, Darius is severely injured.

Alternatively,

"Well, it's better to collect information before killing him" I mumbled under my breath. I had completely locked his presence with my aura. Even though he is injured, I don't want to give him any chance. He might have some live saving cards.

After making up my mind, I looked at Darius's scared expression. He is completely frightened from this situation. I hope he is cognitively working properly now.

"Darius," I yelled.

Hearing that Darius gulped his saliva and became further scared. He began to rant, "Zack, leave me. If something happens to me right now. Then you can forget about living. My Father and Head Master will kill you and your family." Darius begins to threaten as a last chance of hope.

"Crazy" I said.

I made a small lightning arc attack on his body. It's a very small purple arc, it's powerful enough to provide him endless pain.

"Aaaaaaahhhh"

Darius screamed in agonizing pain. Those small lighting arcs land on his deep injury making it further worse. His vitality begins to slip away slowly as the conditions deteriorate.

Seeing Darius' reaction, I was satisfied. After stopping the lightning arc. I fed him a low end healing elixir. It will help him to stay conscious. I still need to collect information from him. So, I hope this guy is sensible enough to answer me. Otherwise, I need to use a corpse container.

The other hand, the healing pill is working properly. Darius slowly begins to have some clarity. When he recalls this lightning arc, his heart skips a beat. "Zack is a lightning element user. Impossible!" He is completely scared. No wonder he is at no.1 rank.

"Darius, Do you want to taste my lightning arc?" I smiled.

Darius felt goosebumps over his body, so he immediately asked, "What do you want?"

Heading that I asked, "Well, I have several questions. But first, Why did you follow me?" I looked at him with a piercing gaze. It would be troublesome if this guy had informed someone earlier on the way.

"I was doing my task." Darius said.

"Task? What kind of task? Explain to about whole ins and out clearly." I threatened him with cold and indifferent eyes. I never thought Crimson hall would act soon before their exhibition match. "It must be due to my ranking in the leaderboard." I thought to myself.

Darius thought if he didn't answer him. He needs to face another attack. He is feeling endless pain, if not for that healing pill. He would have fainted.

Darius said to Zack, "Your performance in Star Tower Challenge made Elders view you as a threat." He stopped midway. But seeing Zack's he added, "I received a task from HeadMaster to collect information about you."

Seeing that this guy is not faking, I nodded. Then I asked, "Did you send any team to kill me?"

Hearing that Darius shook his head and commented, "They only sent a team to escort us back to the academy."

I looked at his expression before pondering. Crimson Hall asked them to collect information about me. For what? Unless they have a troop standby to intercept and kill me. This rat really thinks I'm a fool.

"Where are they now?

"What is the strength of the team?" I inquired.

Darius unwillingly answered, "They are at the northern border. Leader is an Elite Elder and his team were Peak Trainee Warrior. I believe including elder there were ten people."

Hearing that,

"Good," I said.

Then I slit his throat with my sword.

Before dying Darius' expression filled with regret and unwillingness. He really thought about reaching some kind of deal with Zack to save his life. But unfortunately he had an ill fate.

After killing him, I checked for any kind of artefact for tracking and markings on his body. After making sure there is nothing like that, I breathed in relief. Then I put his corpse in a monster container.

I don't want to collect his valuables. It's better to dump his entire corpse on the field. But there are still some traces of lightning in his body. Then I made some decisions to buy some type of fire artefact or corrosion pill to disintegrate his corpse secretly.

After gaining some clarity, I decided to return back. I had already destroyed Darius' wrist watch. It's impossible to know anything happened here. On top of it, if I stay away from the Star Tower guest house. It will raise some suspicions if someone begins to search his whereabouts. I need to quickly get back to the guest house after taking care of his corpse.

Fortunately, I have gained some information from his mouth. I sent a message to Elder Thornton and Mr. Jonathan about Crimson Hall's Team location. With this information I hope they will make some plan to eliminate them. If it's just one elite in their team then it will be easier for Mr.. Jonathan to make them disappear.
