Chereads / The First Mage / Chapter 54 - Chapter 53

Chapter 54 - Chapter 53

Some things have been settled then. The people Takao killed had been all resurrected. Also, the barbarians that Takao has killed in his first time had joined their family.

"This should settle things for now."

Takao then walked away.

"You're right."

"Now. The only thing is to wait. Atrox."

"Yes."

"A-Atrox? Is it true that you go there? How about your parents now? Just wait. This may result in war."

"Eh? But… I don't want a war to happen."

"I would like it. Especially to kill those nobles."

"Eh… Our marriage?"

"Yeah. It's fine. It's already settled, right?"

"Yes. I am waiting."

She then gently hugged him.

Which he hugged her back a bit.

"I wanted you to become gentle Atrox. I don't like you being always angry."

"I'll try."

"Alright."

A month then passed.

Soldiers have been marching to the gates of the still small but now developed Magedom.

"We wish an audience with Mage King!"

Takao came out and greeted them.

"Our King is here for your audience, Mage King."

"Very well."

Takao walked and he saw a table and chairs for two people. Which he then sat on.

"Fellow King. I wanted to avoid war. I am fully away that we will surely lose and be destroyed. We are unable to find the bodies. So please. Accept our offer. At first. They don't like to be taken. But we had to use force to take them due to their influence and their army. We had hunted them down to their last bloodline. We are offering them to avoid a war. Please. Accept it."

"Yes, fellow King. I humbly accept your offer. If you truly are unable to find the bodies. Could you please at least tell me how these insects disposed of them?"

"Unfortunately. They are burnt."

"I see. So. They are now our properties. Aren't they?"

"Yes. Though they hold a fairly high authority. That won't do any damages so I could dispose of them."

"Alright. Atrox will love and hate this at the same time."

"Thank you."

"I don't want a war either. It's good that you did one of those options."

"I see. Should I be on my way?"

"Yes. I'll send you instantly in your capital."

"What?"

"I had prepared for this."

A huge portal has then been created.

"Go on."

"Really? Then. Thank you."

"If you doubt it. Send a soldier."

"No. I don't doubt it."

"Well. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Farewell."

"Mm."

And he simply nods.

"No! Please! What have we done!"

A woman from that same family has been crying the whole time.

"Please! Let us go, our King! Mister, please let me go."

A boy is also crying

"Please… *sob* what have we done to deserve this."

Takao approaches them.

"You guys are just so unlucky that your old man over there has done something which led to this."

"Eh?"

"Well. There are tens of you. Time to unleash the sadist side and enjoy this. Don't worry. I may sometimes enjoy it with you guys. But a person over there is the one who will truly love this. Enjoy. You are lucky if you are left alone. But it seems not."

"Eh!? Please... Don't… *sob* help us please."

"You're now just toys to be played with."

"Please..!"

"Hey, Atrox. Here."

He led them all. They are bound in chains to prevent escaping that is connected into one handle.

Takao approached Atrox as the King and his servants moved on. Turning a blind eye on what's unfolding.

"Here. I believe they are yours."

"..."

Atrox quietly accepts it and goes on.

"Here. Take them inside."

There is already a designated place for this. Which is a place to torture people.

"Please! Let us go! We have done nothing wro–"

Atrox immediately kicks his jaw which everyone present could see visibly breaking and swayed to the left. It is a boy.

The boy immediately fell unconscious. But Atrox just keeps dragging without feeling anything.

Every person dragged felt an extreme sudden fear. Especially the noble who kill Atrox's parents. But they know that they only have to wait for their impending doom

Presny immediately runs to him.

"Atrox! You should have done that! He's a kid…"

"Don't interfere with me. Presny."

And He proceeds into the portal Takao created.

"Better have fun with them. I had given it, right?"

"Yes."

Takao had given him the magic to resurrect people. He also had the healing magic. He now could basically make these people experience a living hell now.

Arriving at the place created for them. A torturing place.

This place could only be accessed using a portal. There is no door and it is situated underground. But still. This so huge and thousands of people could be inside.

There is a flow of air entering regularly. It is from a magic item created for this purpose. Which Takao inserted a magic scroll to run for at least ten years. Of course, he could easily refill it every time its magic has been used up.

"Go."

Atrox burned the chains and started making it a living hell for them.

"Please. Don't!!!"

He satisfied himself with this. Though he is a psychopath.

Ten years later…

While it is raining. In an open field. Two people could be seen fighting. Or so. Training. One looks like a little girl with white long hair and a petite body. While the other is a little boy at around eight years old with also white hair. They could easily be mistaken as twins if one didn't pay much attention.

"Well. Are we still going? Young prince?"

"Yes, please."

"Alright."

"Haahh, haahh…"

"Why are you so determined to learn to use such a weapon?"

"It's because it is otou-san's also. I wanted him to be proud of me! De gozaru."

"But he's proud to all of you. Isn't that true?"

"But… Aniki is a genius. He had achieved many things. I-I wanted tou-san to recognize me as he did with Aniki, gozaru."

"I see. You are polite in talking. Very well. Daisuke. Show me more."

"Yes!"

"Interesting."
