“Strange… why did he ask for such a condition? It’s so easy for me,” Morgana muttered as she saw Zevien and Vernisia flying away.

The avatar of the Blood Monarch was still there, and he was also surprised that Zevien asked for such a simple condition.

“Anyway, it was an easy bargain for you, I guess. Now, I should vanish for good, haha,” said the Blood Monarch before his avatar dispersed into motes and disappeared.

…

“Why did you ask for such a condition?” Vernisia asked with curiosity. “Also, I feel like there’s another reason why you rejected the inheritance.”

“That condition is basically like a favor. We might need it when we go Astral Land,” Zevien said with a smile. “As for why I rejected the inheritance…” he trailed off before sighing.

Vernisia was confused at seeing Zevien sighing.

“I remembered Tarto telling me that there was something at the bottom of the blood pond,” Zevien said as he narrowed his eyes. “He told me there was a being at the bottom of the pond, and it was half-dead and half-alive.”

“What?! Y-you mean…” Vernisia stammered as she realized something and whispered, “The Blood Monarch is still alive?”

“Most likely, yes. I also felt that the inheritance was a scam. It was just my gut feeling, and this negative gut feeling regarding the inheritance increased when I remembered what Tarto said about the blood pond,” Zevien sighed. “I feel like that the Blood Monarch is plotting something.”

“Damn… it’s scary when we think about what these powerful beings might be plotting,” Vernisia wryly smiled and shook her head. “Let’s just forget about today and move to another area in this labyrinth.”

“Not before we destroy that Ufar House in the kingdom’s capital,” Zevien snorted. “They are scumbags and almost killed us!”

“That’s true as well,” Vernisia nodded with a cold light in her eyes and said with anger in her voice. “I can’t believe their vile deeds are supported by the kingdom. I guess wealth and riches can indeed make people blind to injustice until it happens to them.”

Suddenly, a quest prompt appeared in Zevien’s head.

*****

[Magic Quest initiated, Cleaning of Vile Evil]

-Step 1: Destroy Ufar house’s store in Kolama town.

-Note: this magic quest will be directly established after you complete the 1st step.

*****

Zevien paused in his flight, and so did Vernisia after seeing him stopping. “What happened?” she asked.

“Magic quest initiated,” Zevien said with a wide grin, “and it’s about destroying Ufar house’s store in Kolama town.”

“Awesome,” Vernisia beamed before she took out a map to check the location of Kolama town. “It’s approximately 20 kilometers away from here, to the southwest of the kingdom’s capital.”

“Let’s go then. We still have five hours to spend in this labyrinth,” Zevien said before he and Vernisia started flying in the direction of Kolama town.

…

Soon, they arrived near the town and descended. Both of them wore robes and hid their faces with hoods before walking towards the town entrance gate.

After they entered the town, they saw wanted posters with their faces drawn on them. But these posters were sketched as ‘X’ and some were ripped since they were announced dead a month ago when they fell into the Blood Monarch’s abyss.

“The security in this town is not that high. The town chief should be a 2nd class magician, but other than him, the rest should be 3rd class and weaker,” Zevien whispered after he sensed that the town guards were equivalent to 3rd class magicians.

“My awakening spells are going to help a lot here,” Vernisia grinned. “Let me handle the people after we enter the shop. We don’t want to harm unrelated people.”

“Yep,” Zevien nodded.

After asking an old lady about the location of the Ufar store, they arrived at the store and entered.

Vernisia was conjuring her magic, and after entering, she counted the amount of customers. There were customers inside the shop, two staff members who were probably just doing their job. ‘One will cost 2000 mana. So thirteen, 26,000. Alright, I can manage it.’

“Hello, dear customer. What do you want to buy? We sell all sorts of magic-related things like weapons, items, spell scrolls, and magic potions,” the manager arrived and said with a polite smile.

“What is your name?” Zevien asked bluntly.

“You can call me Romelo Ufar. I am a 2nd-star member of the Ufar family,” Romelo said with a smile.

“Good,” Zevien nodded before he smiled and grabbed the man’s head as he used the <Hellblazer> magic spell. “Burn away.”

A black flame released from Zevien’s hand and enveloped the man before turning him into black dust that got swept by the winds.

The black flame of Hellblazer didn’t let out any sound. It was silent, just like all other Tarto’s spells. None of those spells let out even a ripple or sound when getting released or traveling.

The manager also couldn’t scream since he died too fast to even react. After all, Zevien was at his peak power of 8000+ magic power right now, while the manager was equivalent to a 4th-class magician.

Vernisia also released thirteen <Shadow Ghost Possession> orbs that hit thirteen people when Zevien attacked the manager. She commanded all thirteen people affected by <Shadow Ghost Possession> to leave the store at soon as possible.

“W-what’s going on? My feet are moving on their own!”

“Where is the manager?”

“H-he… he died. That person released a black flame from his hand and just evaporated his trace from this world,” the person who witnessed the manager’s death spoke with dread in her eyes. But her feet didn’t stop, and she ran out of the store.

Everyone panicked, but none of them could stop their feet and ran out of the store.

Zevien and Vernisia also came out before Vernisia waved her hand and released the 1st style of Primal conjuring, the <Water Terror Fish> spell. She cast it twice as two fish entered the store before exploding into eight whirlpools that destroyed the entire shop.

The guards came rushing and pointed their spears at Zevien and Vernisia. The spear glows as guards channeled their magic power inside and released sharp bullets.

“Tell the Ufar House that we are back for revenge,” Zevien said with a smile as he grabbed Vernisia’s waist and pulled her in before unfurling his vampire wings and flying away.
