Kasper shuddered with fear, he would be executed the same way as the servant, he lamented bitterly for his misfortune. Even though he had seen worse, he couldn't help but shiver with fear. He had to do something very fast, that sort of execution was too cruel. He would be slowly tore into pieces. He started to plan on what he could do.
The servant was about to be finally executed, there was a rider on each horse, the riders manned the horses to start moving slowly, each horse was moving to four different directions. When the horses moved further away from the servant, he was stretched and slowly lifted off the ground. Soon, his limbs started to hurt badly and he could not help but scream, every joint in his limbs were slowly dislocated. Next, the pain travelled to his mid body, some parts of his body started to tear and blood was sprouting violently.
His face was contorted with pain, he screamed so loud that he lost his voice. Many people in the crowd couldn't bear to watch anymore, it was too unbearable to watch.
Kasper was drenched in cold sweat, his heart was pounding fast with fear. He already had a plan in mind but the success rate of the plan was low, if the plan failed, he would suffer the same fate as the servant. He had never been this nervous, he had to admit.
The servant was in extreme agony and pain, he wasn't able to scream anymore, his expression already elaborated the severe pain he was going through.
Suddenly, his right arm was torn away from his body, blood gushed out and sprayed unto some people in the crowd.
His left arm and legs were also torn away from his torso. Despite having all of his limbs removed gruesomely, he was still barely alive, he had already gone through hell. His life was hanging on a tread, the torment was slowly taking his life.
After having all of his limbs removed, an executioner walked up to him and beheaded him with an axe, his head was then placed on a spike in front of the crowd. This was to remind the people of what would happen to anybody that committed treason.
Next, it was Kasper's turn to be executed, he was dragged to where he would be hanged as well, a rope was also tied around his neck.
He would suffer the same process of execution that the servant had suffered.
The executioner walked up to Kasper, he was about to release the trap door when Kasper suddenly casted a burst of flames, the flames surged wildly and burnt the rope tied to his hands to crisp, before the executioner could do anything, Kasper rained flames on him.
Kasper had thought of every possible plan, he decided to fought his way through the soldiers and crowds. The success rate of this was low but he had no choice, he had to fight his way through. He wasn't going to go down without a fight.
Fortunately for him, this planet had plentiful mana, he was very adept in magic so it was easy for him to cast a spell. But he had to be fast before his mana got depleted, he hasn't had much time to gather enough mana.
The executioner was shocked, he was dressed in metal armor but that didn't help, the blazing flames had made the metal armor extremely hot, his skin underneath the armor was already getting peeled due to the extreme heat, he couldn't help but scream agonizingly.
The crowd were stupefied at what Kasper had just done.
The king and the chief judge were surprised and at the same time furious at what Kasper had done. Kasper had just committed another heinous crime.
Unknown to Kasper, Fire magic was forbidden in this planet. It was seen as destructive, hellish and a soul consuming element. No mage dared to practice fire magic, any mage found practicing it would be executed without trial. Not only the fire magic, the shadow magic was also forbidden, only a certain group of people was allowed to practice it.
Everybody started to wonder how Alfred had became a mage. Alfred was only known to be a nobleman before he was found guilty of treason, they were not aware of it that Alfred's body is now a vessel for another soul. The people of Nolmar only believed rebirth and reincarnation to be a myth.
What even shocked them more was that Kasper casted a spell without a magic wand, they found this to be strange, this was because the magic of Nolmar was still crude unlike the magic of Kasper's planet that was already well defined and civilized.
There was not many mages at Nolmar to begin with, only a few people could practice the art of magic and they belonged to different mages guild.
For the people of Nolmar, casting magic spells required the use of magic wands or spell books, chanting of spells was also required if the magic was more powerful and complicated.
The people started to shout angrily and demanded that he be executed immediately. Kasper wasn't going to stay there and watch the enraged crowd, he made a dash for a street that was across the road. Everybody was already shocked and dazed, this was the perfect opportunity to escape.
"Seize him!" The king roared angrily. He would not allow a man that committed two heinous crimes to escape under his nose. The soldiers immediately surrounded Kasper, he had thought he could at least make it to the next street before he would be chased, but he had already been surrounded by about nine soldiers before he could make it there.
Two soldiers suddenly lunged their swords at Kasper, aiming to inflict fatal damages on him. Kasper wasn't good at sword and melee combat, he managed to avoid one of the two attacks but he suffered a fatal injury on his collarbone, he was lucky the sword didn't hit him on the neck. This damage was enough to take down an ordinary man but Kasper wasn't an ordinary man, he was a strong mage. Even though the body of Alfred was weak, Kasper still had the strong vitality of a mage.
Although the damage took a toll on him, it wasn't enough to bring him down. He wheezed in pain while he conjured flames to his two palms, his eyes were bloodshot, there was no way he would allow them to capture him. He started to attack the soldiers violently with the flames.
Although the soldiers were experienced at battling mages, they've never fought a fire mage, this was a big advantage for Kasper. He quickly defeated four of the soldiers but more soldiers are already making their way towards him, if he doesn't find a way to quickly escape, he would be depleted of mana and would be captured. He quickly attacked two of the soldiers that were obstructing his way to the next street.
The two soldiers couldn't withstand the brutal heat of the flames, they fled away. Kasper immediately made a dash for the next street.
The king was enraged, "Capture him or you all die!" He commanded furiously, he would not let Kasper off the hook easily.
The soldiers ran after Kasper, they do not want to lose their heads. There were people on the street Kasper ran to, the people panicked when he fled towards them, they all ran in different directions, they don't want to get injured in the scuffle. Kasper ran straight in to the crowd, he did this to slow down the soldiers that were chasing him. He had to get away quickly, he had already lost a lot of blood, his life would be in serious jeopardy if he doesn't find a way to stop the blood and heal the wound, he had to find a safe place to hid first. Fortunately for him, he found the entrance of an underground sewer, he quickly entered the sewer.
The sewer reeked of unpleasant odour, the foul water in it reached his knees, there were rats and other rodents inside the sewer. It wasn't a pleasant sight at all, but he had no choice. He decided to hid here until nightfall but he had to stop his fatal wound from bleeding first. He examined the wound, it was a deep cut, his collarbone was cut wide open, the pain was unbearable for him., He removed his shirt and stuffed it in his mouth, he then conjured a flame the size of his fist. He smeared the flame on the open wound, it burnt him and he wanted to scream like crazy but he restrained himself. When the bleeding stopped, he searched and found a place in the sewer where the water was shallow, he then sat down to recuperate until nightfall.
Just as he thought, the frightened and disorganized crowd slowed down the soldiers, by the time they made it to the end of the street, Kasper was nowhere to be found. They started to search for him desperately, they searched every house, stall, pub and anywhere they thought he could hid but they still couldn't find him.
The king had to place a bounty on him, he became the most wanted man in all of the empire. The king also declared that anybody that aided him would be executed without trial.
