49 Chapter 49

"Ron!" Aaron rushed towards his friend.

As he reached Ron he saw that his chest was bloodied. Blood was gushing out from two places.

Aaron didnt know what to do. First he tried to move him. But some part of him remembered that abruptly moving an injured person was dangerous.

He found a handkerchief with him and tried to press it on the wound.

"Somebody help him." Shouted Aaron.

Adam and the mage association mages were rushing towards towards Ron already.

The handkerchief proved to be ineffective to curb the flow of the blood.

One of the fire mages of the association had reached his side by then.

"Let me try, I might be able to caustersize the wound and stop the blood flow."

The fire mage gently placed his hands over the wounds.

Aaron could smell a burning smell. Ron howled due to the pain caused. He wasnt even completely concious.

The mage soon lifted his hands.

"I have closed the wounds. But the injuries seems to be not only on the outside. I cant do anything about the damage he has on the inside. "

Internal injuries were always troublesome.

Aaron was numb by this time. He couldnt even stand properly. He sat down on the ground right next to Ron.

Why did you have to do that? Thought Aaron to himself.

Ron's breathing got shallower and shallower.

They didnt have any life mages present who could heal Ron.

They didnt have one here, but they had one at Pine city.

Aaron stood up and was about to open a gate to carry Ron to Pine city.

"You better not make a move. I know what you are trying to do. But you cant save him. The life mages at pine city wont be able to save him even if you get there in time. " Said Thunder king.

Aaron stared at the Thunder king. This was all because of him.

"Dont stare at me like that. This wasnt because of me. It was because you all were weak. And its because the mage association makes you even more weaker than you are. "

"You will have to pay for this Thunder king. Killing a Frost family mage there will be consequences. " Said the mage from the association.

"There will be no consequences. You dont know anything. " He said this with a serious face.

As time passed, Ron finally stopped breathing.

They tried everything they could to save him. Aaron even did a CPR when Ron stopped breathing. The onlookers looked at him weirdly for doing that but he didn't care.

He had wanted to save his friend. The friend who sacrificed himself to save Aaron. Aaron who was so weak that he couldnt even face a single spell.

He was called a genius in his academy.

What genius? He was a failure. He had a big pool of magic power and knew a lot more than average mages. But so what? He couldnt even make a shield which an average elementalist could.

He disdained himself.

One of the villagers brought a piece of cloth and covered Ron's body.

There was silence around. A mage had died here.

The White brothers were pale faced. They knew they were doomed. They followed Thunder king because he offered a lot of money and mage stones. But money couldnt make up for their life. They have to be on the run if they were able to escape today.

Thunder king had long went into the house he was staying at.

Aaron sat besides Ron's body. He had tear streaked face.

Elizabeth who had regained conciousness by now tried to talk to Aaron who didnt reply to her.

Adam was discussing something with the mage association mages.

A man stepped out of Air. Three more people followed him.

The last one was the space mage Aaron was working under, Abram Wilson.

He looked like he would faint. The journey to this place from Polaris city had been hard on him. He used the gate continously and was almost out of magic power. He had a throbbing headache.

The three others with him were the true representatives of the association. Abram was just someone who made the journey faster.

"Han. Come out, we are here. "

Said the oldest looking of the three. He was an old man who was wearing a mage robe. He had an unkept beard.

He looked around and saw that someone had died here. This was trouble. Thunder king was getting difficult to control.

The other two with him, A man and a woman who were well past their prime saw the scene too. They knew they had work on their hands this time.

"You know its been a long while since someone had called me by that name. Wasnt it you, the mage association who gave me the name Thunder king in the first place?" It was Thunder king who replied to this as he came out of the house.

"Enough. Lets not talk about the past. What do you want?" This the lady mage speaking this time.

"What's the hurry? Why dont you first sit down? You are old and travelled so far. You must be tired. " Said Thunder king with a smile Plastered on his face again.

"Everyone knows we are here with you. If we dont report back by the end of the day, they are going to send in the 3rd division over. So dont even think if keeping us hostage. " Said the other man who had come.

"You very well know I am not scared of them. At most I would have leave now and I would have to repeat the scene elsewhere some other day." Said the Thunder king as a matter of fact.

The talks between them left everyone fascinated.

No one has ever heard of the third division. And the mage association named him? The association knew who he was?

What was happening?
