"Where are you going, Princess ? The fun is about to begin." Anon asked with a psychopathic smile.
As soon as These words fell into Oxmaul's ears... He felt the real fear.
The true fear. Everyone was around him but no one can save him from Anon.
"J-Jule, i am sorry. I was wrong. Please spare me... Please let me quit. I will give you money or girls or any other thing that you want.
Just let me quit please." Oxmaul spoke.
"Oh, i am not letting you leave me." Anon whispered in his ears.
"Leave me you psychopathic bastard." Oxmaul shouted as he Summoned a sword and stabbed Anon in his intestine but unlike Oxmaul Anon gave no response.
He just stood there like a man and staired at Oxmaul.
Oxmaul looked at this view and started stabbing him again and again but Anon was getting immediately healed by the troll locket.
"Leave me you monster... Leave me." Oxmaul spoke as he continuously stabbed anon and tried to free his left hand from his hand.
After stabbing Anon continuously for ten minutes Oxmaul got tired.
"That's it ?" Anon asked with a menacing smile as he grabbed the sword with two fingers and broke in into three pieces.
"Woah... He broke the sword with just two fingers."
"Is that even possible for a mage ?"
"What the fuck ? He is a mage ?"
"That's what the record says."
'He is too strong, even as a mage. He hasn't used even a single spell in the whole fight. This Oxmaul bastard has choosen the wrong guy this time.' The principal thought as she smiled at the view.
"Please... Let me.... go." Oxmaul spoke his face fully covered in sweat.
"It's my turn." Anon said as he throwed him in the air and used his first spell.
Anon throwed the javelin at Oxmaul's body that was still in the air. Oxmaul had no option other than taking it.
*Zzzz*
*Chk*
The thunder javelin pierced through his brain... Resulting in killing him instantly.
"Ooooohhh shit... Anon has gone merciless... He is throwing Oxmaul's body here and there and using him as a dart board.
Why is Anon making him suffer like that ?" The announcer announced.
The barriers shined and Oxmaul recovered again.
Oxmaul stood up as he saw that Anon is far away from him and the boundary is very near.
He started to run for it but as he was about to reach the boundary a sound came from behind.
Anon used another spell.
Suddenly thousands of bullets engulfed in fire appeared in front of Oxmaul.
"N-No.... Plea-" before he could've completed his sentence... The Bullets pierced through his whole body making him lifeless once again.
"Well, that was good."
Oxmaul's body started floating... Anon brought it back to the middle of the ring and waited in one corner for him to recover.
This was not a duel anymore... This was a game of mouse and cat... The cat would put the mouse in the middle of the house and let it run away but when she saw that the rat is about to escape the house, she would immediately run and catch him.
After catching it she would put it back in the middle of the house.
Oxmaul's body recovered as he stood up and saw that he was in the middle of the arena.
Anon wasn't attacking him anymore. He was just sitting in one corner of the arena.
Oxmaul looked at his right and observed that the boundary to jump outside of the arena was the nearest from there.
Oxmaul immediately ran towards the boundary without looking or thinking anything.
He just wanted to escape this arena at any cost now.
As he was about to escape the arena... Another voice came from his behind.
Suddenly thousands of frozen crystals tore his body apart and opened millions of holes into it, killing him again.
His body floated again and reached at the same spot that he started running from, Middle of the Arena.
Oxmaul recovered again and started running towards the boundary again.
This time a fire ball hitted his body and he died again.
This thing continued for the next 1 hour....
Anon killed Oxmaul everytime he would try to go to any of the boundaries.
Everyone started pitying Oxmaul... The bully of the class was getting pity from those that he used to bully.
Even the teachers started feeling fear at this point... At this point Anon looked like a psychopathic killer to everyone.
At one point... Oxmaul got so scared of moving that he decided to stay at the centre of the Arena and not move from there.
He sat down and covered his face with both of his hands and started murmuring things like a mentally unstable person.
"N-No... Boundary He kills... N-No Running....He Kills." Oxmaul repeated again and again.
The commentator fell silent at this view... Many of the girls started to fall unconscious after watching him die so many times.
The principal stood up from her chair and went to the Announcer... She whispered something in his ears.
"Y-Yes, ma'am."
"Oxmaul... If you can hear me. The rules have been changed a bit... Now if you just say 'I quit.' You can quit the competition." He announced.
"What the hell ? You are ruining all of my fun." Anon spoke.
As soon as these words fell into Oxmaul's ears... He immediately opened his mouth to speak the words that can save his life but before he could've said anything.
Anon appeared behind him and covered his mouth with his hand.
As soon as Anon removed his hand from his face... Everyone noticed that Anon has removed Oxmaul's mouth from his face.
At this view, even the boys started fainting.
Oxmaul looked at Anon and tried to shout but he had no mouth. He stood up from the place and started running again but Anon didn't let him escape.
*Zzzz*
*Booom*
The spear pierced through Oxmaul's body and killed him again.
When Oxmaul opened his eyes again... He observed that he was in the Middle of the arena once more.
Now his mind was similar to that of a circus lion, he was sitting on the table but if he dared to step down of it... Anon would whip him and he would whip him hard.
He knew that if tried to escape only death awaits him, so he decided to stay there, his mental conditions became unstable and Anon became a demon in his brain.
He only knew one thing, Anon wouldn't do anything to him unless he stays in the middle of the Arena.
As soon as Anon observed that Oxmaul has finally lost it... He stood up and exited the Arena.
"Hah... You are no fun now. You won... I lose." Anon said with a smile.
Blacksmith classes...
Anon is sitting at the back of the class with Eve and Deris, but there is one odd thing: no one is sitting on the next bench or the bench next to it.
The dwarf teacher is teaching the class, but no one is at ease... Everyone looks back at Anon once in a while.
"Hmmm...? Why is everyone looking at me as if I am a psychopathic killer?" Anon asked with a neutral expression.
"What? Are you kidding me? After the things you did to Oxmaul, you think anyone would want to talk to you?"
"Yeah, everyone present in this class thinks you are just a psychopathic killer after what you just did to Oxmaul," Deris spoke.
"Hmmm.... That's odd though. I don't think I did any psychopathic things with him. I barely played with him," Anon spoke with a confused expression.
"You are kidding, right? Because right now you really are talking like a psychopath," Eve asked.
"Yeah, I'm just messing with you, but there is one good thing... No one will disturb me or you two. Isn't that good?" Anon asked with a smile.
"Yeah, because now everyone thinks that we are psychopaths too," Eve spoke.
"Well, for me... It's true. Everyone really stopped making fun of me," Deris spoke as she looked at Eve.
"See... At least someone is happy," Anon spoke as he smiled at Deris.
"No, Jule... That guy is not your everyday normal person... He's the son of an upper noble, and his father is very rich. He will make your and your family's life hell.
If I remember correctly, last time a senior kid punched Oxmaul when he was still a freshman.... That kid is now begging on the streets, and you just turned his mind to shit.
He sat inside that arena for 50 minutes after you left. Do you know why?" Eve asked.
"I don't know... Maybe he was scared that I would come and hit him again if he moved," Anon spoke.
"Yes... That's correct, and you are sitting so calmly even after knowing that. You should be running back to your house... And packing your stuff... Oxmaul's father will not let you live in this kingdom anymore," Eve explained.
"Hmm... You know what? Your talk is interesting, I will get back to you after a short nap," Anon said as he put his head on the table and fell asleep.
"Did he...?" Eve murmured as she pointed at Anon and looked at Deris with a surprised expression.
"Yep... I saw it," Deris spoke.
Knock-knock-knock
Suddenly, a knock was heard on the classroom door.
Everyone immediately looked at the door and noticed that the person who was knocking on the door was none other than the principal herself.
"What is the principal doing here?"
"I guarantee you, it's about that kid Jule."
"Yeah, I think Oxmaul's father is here."
"Jule is done for."
Everyone started talking about the principal's sudden visit.
"Everyone, keep silent," the dwarf teacher spoke as he bowed to the principal.
"I am looking for the kid named Jule. Is he here?" the principal asked with a smile.
The whole class turned their necks towards him.
"Jule, wake up. The principal is here... Jule... JULE," Eve said as she pinched Anon tightly.
"Hmmm...? Who the heck-, Oh Eve... What happened?" Anon asked as he woke up.
"The principal is asking for Jule," Eve spoke.
"Hmm...?" Anon looked at the gate and noticed that the principal is also looking at him and the whole class too.
"Come with me," the principal spoke.
Jule stood up from the bench and walked up to the front of the class.
Both of them left the class together.
"You knew who he was, right?" the principal asked as they walked through the corridor.
"Who?" Anon asked.
"Don't play dumb with me, I am talking about the kid named Oxmaul," the principal spoke.
"Oh yeah... Upper noble kid. His father's big, fat, rich, and he will make my life hell... Yeah, I heard that speech just now from one of my girls," Anon spoke.
The principal stopped and looked at Anon with a smirk.
"How can you be so tension-free after messing with that kid's mind? His father can really make your life a living hell, no doubts about that," the principal spoke.
"You said 'He can,' it means you have a way of protecting me. That's why you came here. If you had no way, you wouldn't have approached me in the first place, and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now," Anon spoke with a smile.
"You are one smart-ass kid, huh....? Well, you are right. I can save you from the Paradise family, but I can't save your family, and I can only save you from his father until you are inside this academy... Outside the academy... You are their prey.
So, I suggest you get your stuff back to the dorms and tell your family to go to the Human kingdom," the principal spoke.
"Yeah, can't do that," Anon declined immediately.
"What? I think you are confused... Let me explain it again. You will get killed immediately after you exit this academy, and your family will face several issues too," the principal spoke.
"Well, you will not help me for free... What is it that you need?" Anon asked the principal.
"Good question... I want you to become a teacher for this same academy after you graduate.
You will only need to work here for 30 years with no salary; your food and room will be arranged by me. 30 years is not that long for an elf, right? And your only job will be to teach the kids as a teacher. It's a very respectful job." The principal spoke as she smiled at Anon.
"No, I am sorry. Was that it, or should I go back?" Anon asked.
"You really have a big attitude, you know, kid. I don't think you have the power to handle that kind of attitude. You can go, but if something happens, don't come running back to me," the principal spoke.
"See you soon, ma'am," Anon spoke as he left after that.
'I will make the whole kingdom mine in 3 months, and you are talking about 30 years. What a foolish girl?' Anon thought as he laughed a bit.
After attending the classes, Anon left the academy. As soon as he exited the academy gates, he sensed many eyes staring at him from a distance.
"Oh... Seems like we have guests, huh?" Anon said as he looked at the distant houses they were using for cover.
Demonic Eyes...
[Name: Jurist]
[Level: 54]
[Name: Van]
[Level: 48]
[Name: Merper]
[Level: 56]
....
Their names and levels appeared in front of Anon.
'12 guys, huh? All below level 60 too. Well, I guess they chose the wrong guys to kill me, huh?'
Anon looked around and started walking exactly in the opposite direction of his house.
He headed towards the forest behind the academy.
This forest is known as Eversong Woods. It used to be the home of elves before they established this kingdom. Now, only dangerous beasts live there.
As Anon walked towards the forest, he sensed each of them constantly following him.
"He is heading towards his own grave."
"Yeah, I can see that."
"Just stay focused. If we get him to enter the main core of the forest, we won't have to soil our hands with his filthy blood."
The assassins following Anon discussed among themselves.
'Good, good. Follow me to your graves, you idiots,' Anon thought as he continued walking inside.
After 10 minutes of walking, Anon finally entered the forest.
"He's inside."
"What should we do?"
"Just wait and see where he's going."
"I already told you the plan. We'll scare him and make him run towards the center of the forest. The beasts there will take care of him after that," their leader spoke.
"Yes, ma'am," they all replied.
As Anon walked further towards the center of the forest, he realized something was amiss.
'Why aren't these guys coming out to attack me? Are they scared? No, this can't be. What are they planning to do?'
Suddenly, Anon started running...
"He's running..."
"He sensed our presence..."
"But why is he running towards the center?"
Anon heard the last guy and only one question arose in his mind...
'They want me to go to the center of the forest, but why? Are there more dangerous beasts there?' Anon thought as he used his skill.
Suddenly, a black cloud covered Anon's body and he disappeared.
"What the heck?"
"He just disappeared?"
"How did he do that?"
They all got confused as they saw Anon vanish like a ghost while he was running.
"Hold your positions," the leader commanded, and they all stopped on the trees they were perched on.
'I'm getting a sense of déjà vu.' Anon thought as he appeared behind one of the female assassins.
"Hello, love," Anon whispered in her ear.
She immediately withdrew her daggers and moved her hands incredibly fast towards Anon's neck.
But before the dagger could reach Anon's neck, he stopped her hand.
"He-" Before she could shout for help, Anon grabbed her mouth very tightly.
"Search for him, everyone," the leader ordered.
Mnnnhhhh
She tried to shout, but Anon's grip on her mouth was too tight. She even tried to bite his hand, but nothing happened.
"Look into my eyes, love," Anon said as he used his skill.
Suddenly, her eyes glowed purple.
[Hypnosis wear-off time: 10 minutes 59 seconds.]
'Being an elf gives her the benefit of having a shorter Hypnosis wear-off time, huh? I have to hurry up...' Anon thought as he removed his hand from her mouth.
"Start killing your partners for me, love," Anon commanded.
"Yes, master," she replied as she withdrew her other dagger and leapt onto another tree.
'Now, the next one,' Anon thought as he located the next assassin and quietly jumped onto his tree.
"What's up with you, son?" Anon whispered into his ear.
As soon as he turned around, Anon pierced his throat with his sickle.
"I wouldn't waste my mana to hypnotize someone like you," Anon spoke as he pulled his dagger out.
The assassin he had hypnotized was also killing her subordinates.
Eight minutes later.
"Did anyone find him?" the boss asked.
No reply came.
"I asked you guys something. Did you find him or not?" She asked again in a very low voice, but no reply came this time either.
Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong.
"Hello, love." Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
She immediately turned back and summoned her swords.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Well, who do you think I am?" Anon asked.
"I don't know, but you're not the guy we received the contract for. We were told he was weak and had a very low level. I ask again, who are you?" She asked.
Anon noticed her face was covered by a black mask.
"Before you die, don't you want to show me your face?"
"The only one who's going to die here is you. Everyone, I found him... Come here," she shouted.
"Oh, are you searching for these guys...?" Anon asked as he kicked the tree next to him.
Thud
Thud
Thud
....
Suddenly, the corpses of her subordinates started falling from the tree. The last corpse to fall from the tree belonged to the girl Anon had hypnotized at the start.
"This..." Suddenly, a very grim expression covered her face as she looked at Anon.
"So, what were you saying again, love?" Anon asked as a smile appeared on his face.
"Curse you, you bastard. Just die," she said as she ran towards him at full speed.
Suddenly, hundreds of chains burst from the ground and tightly gripped Anon's body from every side.
The grip of the chains was extremely tight.
"Wow... That's a good trick you used, huh...?" Anon said, smiling at her.
"DIEEEEE, FUCKERRRRR...." She shouted.
"Yeah, no." As soon as she entered Anon's attacking range, he used a little force and immediately broke the chains.
Without any delay, Anon stabbed the girl with the death sickles, killing her instantly.
"Hah... Seems like a good girl but i have to send gifts to their contractor." Anon spoke as he cuts her head From her body.
Paradise Family...
Four family members of the Paradise family are sitting together in the dining hall across the dining table.
They are eating dinner, but one of them is playing with the dinner, and the other three are staring at him in anger.
The one who is playing with his dinner is none other than Oxmaul himself.
Oxmaul looks like a mentally unstable person right now; he is playing with his food like a child would do.
He is dipping the spoon in his soup and throwing the soup here and there on the ground.
"He did this to my son, and you are just staring at him. Don't you have feelings for him?" An elf woman with burgundy hair and an ugly face spoke with an angry expression.
"I have sent my boys to kill him; they must be returning anytime now..." A fat man with orange-colored hair, sitting in front of her, spoke.
This man is Oxmaul's father, Peter Paradise.
This man owns every single food factory and shop in the Kingdom.
He is one of the most powerful nobles in the elf kingdom. His food supply network is very big; some of his shops and factories are in other kingdoms as well, like human and dwarf kingdoms.
This guy can destroy anyone who has a lower status than him. He has an attitude bigger than a mountain, and at this point in his life, he thinks he is a god to everyone lower than him.
"Father, if you had sent me with them, I would've killed him in that goddamn academy. How dare he touch my brother?" A boy with orange hair spoke in an angry tone; he was sitting in front of Oxmaul.
This guy is known as Ares Paradise.
He is a bully, just like his younger brother was. He used to rule the academy when he was studying.
He killed anyone standing in his way. He showed no mercy to anyone, whether it's a kid or an adult.
Those who dared to challenge him either got killed under mysterious circumstances or disappeared with their families from the Kingdom.
He is very hot-blooded and knows no limit when it comes to killing.
"No, if you had been seen by someone, it would've been a big problem. You have already killed many students from the academy. If you were to be suspected of another murder, I would not be able to save you from the Queen's judgment this time," Peter spoke.
Ting
Suddenly the main door's bell rang.
"They are back... Let's go and look at the motherfucker who did this to my son," Peter spoke as he stood up from his chair and started walking towards the front door of the house.
His wife and Ares followed behind.
A butler was already present at the main gate... He was waiting for Peter's orders to open the door.
"Butler, open the door. I can't wait to see the bastard who messed with my son," Peter ordered.
"As you say, sir," the butler said as he bowed and opened the gate slowly.
The gate opened, and the view that greeted Peter was very different from what he had expected.
There were 16 heads in front of him; 12 heads belonged to the guys he had sent to kill Anon, and the other 4 heads belonged to the guards who were protecting the mansion.
"This... What is this, Father?" Ares asked with a surprised expression as he stared at the severed heads in front of him.
"Look at them. If you don't do something about this bastard now, our son's head will be there soon," Peter's wife spoke with an angry expression as she shouted at Peter.
"That bastard is stronger than we think... I have to hire more professional killers to eliminate him," Peter murmured as anger consumed him.
'This bastard thinks he is making fun of me by doing this... But he is just increasing the pain he will feel upon his death. I will not spare the life of someone who messed with my son's mind.
You are dead, Jule,' Peter thought as his eyes turned red with anger.
'Father is useless... I have to finish this job myself. No one lives after messing with my brother. I will show him what Ares Paradise can do.
First, I will kill his mother, then his father, and after that, his sister and brothers... Hahaha... You are going to die a painful death, Jule,' Ares thought as he stood up and started walking toward his room.
"Tell me, are you going to do something about it or not?" Peter's wife shouted in his face.
Slap
"Shut up, bitch. I am thinking right now... He is my son too. I know how to avenge my own son. Don't ask me stupid questions. Go eat and sleep," Peter shouted as he kicked one of the heads.
"Y-Yes..." She said as she went back to Oxmaul.
"Yes... That guy," Peter murmured as his ring shined, and he summoned a crystal ball from his inventory.
"I need you... Where are you?" Peter asked.
"Tell me the task and money. No useless talk." A very heavy and cold voice spoke from the other side of the crystal.
"I want a guy killed; his name is Jule. You will get the information from my assistant. Money won't be a problem; I will give you double the usual rate," Peter spoke with a serious expression on his face.
"Time?" He asked.
"Before tomorrow's sunrise. For every family member you kill, I will double your payment," Peter spoke.
"How many does he have?"
"Three."
"Consider them dead."
"When are you coming to collect the information-"
Ting
Before Peter could say anything else, he heard the doorbell ringing.
Peter looked up and noticed a man wearing fully green clothes standing in front of him.
His body was fully covered in that cloth, his face was also masked; only one of his eyes was visible.
"Where is the information?" He asked.
"Haha... This is what I expect from a professional killer. Here," Peter said as he gave him Jule's file.
In that file, everything related to Jule was written.
"Consider it done; he is just a child."
"That child did this," Peter spoke as he pointed toward the heads on the floor.
