"Wake up, pig!"
SPLASH!
A huge cold water slammed Zaden, immediately waking him up, back to reality.
Despite his body shaking in cold, Zaden observing the environment; a forest, surrounded by trees, lots of beast sounds, under the sky that gradually became dark.
Zaden certainly sure he no longer in the same place and time where he executed the emperor.
"Eyes on me, pig!"
SMACK!
A sudden kick landed on Zaden's face, forcing him to shift his attention toward a young blonde magician, wear academy elite magician robe.
Looking at his scepter and his hateful face, Zaden fully aware this obnoxious magician is the one who casted water magic at him.
"You're good for nothing bastard! Weakling nobles like you is a shame for Aetherion family!", the young blonde magician spew his disgust.
Zaden still took time to identify his surrounding.
The young blonde magician is not alone, there's about ten magician soldier circling behind to protect him.
There's also four young magician similar like this young blonde, wearing a elite white magician robe and gold line color, a symbol of the houses of great magician Thorne.
Thorne is one of Solaris' brother, who eventually a political agent for the empress.
Since the emperor's death, Thorne had an impactful movement to erase any traitor inside Aetherion houses.
Zaden, which currently trapped in the illegitimate son of Solaris, apparently is one of Thorne targeted to be eliminated.
"He still confused, Marven. Waking him up with water spell is not smart way to do that…", said one of the female magician elites while checking Zaden's condition.
"Don't come near that bastard son, Vera! This useless bastard is dangerous! Father want him dead!", the young blonde magician immediately warn her.
"You don't have to teach me about him. What he will do anyway? Throwing his non-elemental spell? It's silly and weak at this modern times.", Vera, Marven's sister, yelled back at his brother.
Zaden can feel the non-elemental spell on his current body, a young's man body in his 18th with Solaris blood and one of Solaris's unknown concubine.
As far as he know, the non-elemental spell is indeed the long and forgotten spell, which also consider as forbidden by the emperor due to the complexity that can't be understood by most magician in Rurodia.
Non-elemental spell mostly used for boosting the phyisical ability of its user, which rarely used for modern magician under Aetherion regime.
They're currently relies on long-range attack spell from various element and magical barrier for protecting themselves from enemy.
"Who's his name? I immediately forgot…", asked Vera.
"Don't know. Don't care either. This bastard is a trash, ready to be killed by accident in this forest. Don't bother it.", said Marven.
"Zaden."
Zaden tell his name while stand up, holding it's cold due to Marven's water spell.
He's observing Marven immediate disgust on him, but he's still calm and cold.
Nobody know that Zaden is the name of Ghost of Obediah, the top elite Assassin in Rurodia land.
Zaden only tell his name on anyone that will getting rid of, so the target well aware and know that the death reaper name is Zaden.
In other words, Zaden already aim to kill those elite magicians and magician soldier around.
Suddenly, a blitz of lightning appeared around Vera.
Vera ready to shoot the lightning spell, but she eventually become hesitant due to weird aura from Zaden.
At first, Vera never expecting the bastard is strong, but she intuitively feels this bastard become a fully complete different person.
"Don't you ever dare to fight us, bastard son…. It's best for you dying in the forest rather than I put a hole in your heart with my lightning strike!", Vera shout out her concern.
The magician soldier notice the escalated situation.
Zaden fully aware the military guardian and elite magician are put eye on him.
Despite their uneasiness, it's easy for Zaden to finish off these young spoiled brat.
He already planned to choke the young blonde magician since he's the nearest one at his current position.
After Marvin, he will shift his target toward Vera and other three young magician elite since they're still on his range.
Those ten magician soldier can't stop him since he's confident to defeat all of them with his shadow spell trick.
Without hesitation, Zaden stepped forward, aimed the Marven throat to choke life out of him.
"What the-"
CRASH!
The young blonde's magical barrier automatically activated and destroyed until it remain the last layer of it due to Zaden's attempt.
Zaden surprised since his quick attack is not effective.
He just realized his mistake.
His mind and soul as a Ghost of Obediah still works, but his current body is far away for successfully delivering the technique and his instinct.
His right hand even feel extremely sore since he's fail to calculate his current body capacity that only can deliver about 0,05% of Ghost of Obediah Power.
No wonder Marven call this bastard's son a 'pig'; this bastard is fat and slow!
"Stop right there!"
THUD! THUD!
Zaden immediately fall as the magician solder's stone-gloved fist slammed into his stomach.
The magician soldiers quickly chained him as he became dangerous more than they initially expected.
Vera became silent, not expecting Zaden can move so fast that she not realized he already attacked Marven.
Marven also stand with trembling knees, know his life will ended if Zaden managed to strikethrough his last magical barrier layer.
"W-what the hell?! How come he' so fast?! Isn't he just non-elemental spell user?!", Vera finally shout out her worriness, aiming her lightning bolt on chained Zaden.
"There's no way that elemental spell can move him like that! This bastard is a mess! A chaos bringer! How about we execute him right now?", said one of the magician soldier.
"No! I don't want bring problem by directly spill this bastard blood on my hand! Stick to the plan! We will throw him up on the deadly forest and let the forest beast do the job! Keep clean, people! We're nobles! Don't getting your hand getting dirty in the future! Aetherion's future is on our hands now!"
Hearing Marven's serious instruction, Zaden understand his situation.
This spoiled elite brat want to end his life as a Solaris's bastard son, which probably political reasons.
Whatever the reason is, Zaden will not let these stupid nobles ended his life.
Solaris might be already dead by Zaden, but the emperor succeed on put Zaden in this complicated and difficult situation.
'If you think you win by putting my soul on your bastard son, you dreadfully wrong, Solaris! I will prove you I will survive! I'm the best assassin in the world!'
