Further away from Elerdia, was the North- where the flowers bloomed white instead of red. There was a powerful mighty clan that lived behind the towering snowy mountains. Infamous for committing so many mass murders, genocide, and toppling down 10 kingdoms by their own hands.
Their clan had a huge collection of network with the Intel groups, Mercenary Guilds, Sorcerers, and evil Regents. Everyone feared their name. They called themselves the Fallen Warlords; their leader was a mysterious masked man, who no one knew the identity of.
His name? The Blood Slayer of the North. The founder of the clan, and the current leader: Slayer was his name. Though it was a fake acronym, only a handful of the fewest knew his real name. He was even more infamous to not keep track of how many people he had killed all by his own hands.
Even the Emperor of the South, the largest kingdom in the entire continent feared him. Slayer had murdered 5 powerful regents, toppled 7 kingdoms, murdered an entire city, destroyed clans, caused widespread fear everywhere.
What made him, even more, scarier is that no one has seen his face. He wears a mask, disguises himself everywhere he goes. One moment he could be a normal court man at your kingdom, next second- he is an assassin.
Rumors had it that he was the son of the Demon King. He had demonic blood running down his veins. Secretive, manipulative, cunning, and merciless. People say those are the traits of a demon.
But there was a small secret that no one knew: Of course, who would? The Leader of the Iron Assault team was a...
Nevermind, let's find, should we?
Lennert Das, the most loyal supporter of the Iron Assault leader, was jumping from mountains to mountains across the trails of snow. Leaving no footprints for his enemies to track. He moved faster and faster to the cave his master was hiding at.
"Master, I have finished the mission," he said as he entered the cave. There was a man facing the other direction. He seemed like an average man, but his aura was captivating, and his face was covered by a mask, which left a mysterious impression on him.
"Good." the voice was cold and ominous.
"Master, what do you have in mind now?" Das said.
"Sleep.," the voice said. Das's mouth twitched. Ah... how did Lennert Das forget that currently- the King of Mass-murder and the Blood Slayer of the North was a lazy bum.
"Don't disturb me," the masked man said.
"Master-? Why is it that you have changed after your reincarnation? What have you seen in your future? Why are you so lazy now?" Lennert Das said.
"...Shut-up, stay-low, and don't talk." the masked voice ordered. Soon sounds were heard outside the cave.
Rustling voices:
"I know they are hiding behind the cave! We need to find him!"
"Hmph! The Iron Assault! Scheming vipers! They will get their lesson!"
"Kill them!"
...
Lennert Das and the masked man exchanged looks as the masked man yawned as he ordered Lennert Das:
"I don't care what you do to them, but kill them. Ruin their family. Torture their clan members," the masked man said in a bored expression. Actually, the masked man said it so calmly, that everyone got confused about whether he was talking about the weather or killing people.
"You aren't going to kill them, Master?" Lennert Das asked the genocidal master. Slayer, the masked man smirked to himself and said:
"Nope. I am tired. Sleepy. Take care of them yourself."
"CHARGE!" voices were heard outside.
Soon the masked man disappeared in a blink of an eye.
...
"I need to find her." the masked man said as he teleported to the mountain top. "I need to find her before she goes down the ruin."
He pulled out a holographic image of a young vicious woman, with dark black hair, and crimson eyes. She smiled sinisterly in her picture.
"She is my only tool to conquer the world."
