Chapter 18: Wrath of a man

seventeen years ago

The sky darkened heavily as the wind blew heavily, the flagbearers of house castle displayed the flags of house castle boldly and behind them were thousands of horsemen and soldiers moving across the woods.

They were all dressed for war, led by the infamous knight of destruction!

Lord benjin castle could be seen riding his horse calmly, dressed in his war suit, he frowned when he noticed something strange, they are the response team sent by the baylor clan while requesting for help.

" Lord benjin.....it seems we came too late " one of the commanders of lord benjin castle spoke out while on his horse, the baylor clan's only partners were the house castle and they were the ones who sent for help.

" Why do you say so? " lord benjin spoke out.

They were already at the destroyed clan of baylor, looking at the chaos that has already befallen the baylor clan, lord benjin frowned while he remained seated on his horse, not being able to speak!!

" You are right, we arrived too late.....go and bring out any survivors, i can't believe we let our allies get destroyed under our nose, this is an insult to the house castle " lord benjin spoke out, his voice sad.

He slowly came down from his horse while his soldiers filled the already destroyed clan, the baylor clan which was known as one of the richest clans is now the center of the dead, stenches of the dead filled the air.

Every single part of the clan was searched by the castle's soldiers!!

Meanwhile lord benjin castle could be seen standing before a corpse, the corpse of his best friend who was the head of the baylor clan, a man who died in battle, heavy rain started falling down from heavily.

" Baylor yama.....my best friend, i am certain you died in battle, but whoever is responsible for this massacre, whoever committed this atrocities....the house castle will be the one to judge them "

" That is my promise to you " lord benjin castle spoke out.

He heard strange movements within the darkness when out from the darkness came forth a charging demon, lord benjin castle who is currently grieving kept his eyes on his dead friend when he sighed.

" You are making quite a noise demon, keep quiet " lord benjin castle spoke out and in that moment, the demon was shattered into pieces by a single punch of the lord of the house castle.

" We will be taking our leave now but before that, we will honor the baylor clan by burying them, baylor yama had a child before he died.....i need you to find the body of the child and his wife lyanna "

" They must be honored before they are buried " lord benjin castle ordered..

" Lord benjin, there is something you have to see " one of the commanders voiced out when he directed lord benjin castle to a certain area, an area covered by hundreds of soldiers who were shocked.

" What is this? " lord benjin castle asked when the soldiers created space for him to pass through, lord benjin castle widened his eyes in shock when he heard the cries of a baby, he made his way into the scene.

Shocked to see a crying baby boy lying down on the ground while wrapped with the symbol of the royal family of the baylor clan, lord benjin castle slowly bent down when he gently carried the baby.

" So this child survived huh? the last son of the baylor clan, judging by his properties....he is definitely the son of baylor yama, what a strong kid " lord benjin castle spoke out with smiles on his face.

" Lord benjin, what are you going to do about the child? " a commander asked.

" You are asking me such a question? this child is the last son of the baylor clan and he is the son of the one who was once my rival, i will take care of this child as my own, train in the ways of the sword "

" And he will be the nightmare of those who stand against him, the destruction of the baylor clan.....this isn't something that bandits could do, there are those responsible for this catastrophe "

" This child will be the one who brings justice to his clan, as the last son of the baylor clan!! "

~~~~~~~~

It's night already as the rain fell heavily, memphis zaichi was already done with his mission in the free-city, riding out of the dentra empire, he made his way into a city to spend the night before heading back to the vorgan empire.

Since memphis zaichi is a nobleman whose influence is vastly known, he is treated as a special guest in this city, the city has been shut down.....no one goes in and no one goes out of this city..

All because of memphis zaichi!!

Memphis zaichi is currently staying in the most luxurious hotels in the city while entertaining the most beautiful ladies in the city, whores went in and out of his room while his guards were high on alert.

The vorgan empire is known for their military forces, their soldiers are all given high-level training, active soldiers that are ready to kill once they are ordered to, they are soldiers with no humanity.

And the guards of memphis zaichi are mercenaries personally trained to protect memphis zaichi and this hotel is covered with hundreds of them, there is no area that isn't being controlled by these soldiers.

Standing on the rooftop is the infamous assassin of the north!!

Watching everything while being covered by the darkness, he is seen putting on a mask while watching everything, he slowly took his seat while on the rooftop when he chuckled out softly, enjoying the show.

" Memphis zaichi, i knew you were a crafty old man but i never expected you to be a horny one, you are quite horny to have over a hundred whores in your room all at the same time, i guess that's what power gives you "

" The ability to steal from the poor and control the weak, even wiping out a clan "

The deathmaker spoke out when he sighed, he vanished from where he stood when he landed right behind a soldier, within seconds....the blood of the soldier splashed heavily on the ground without hesitation.

" Compared to me.....you soldiers are merely weaklings, you guys could never match the strength of my brothers in the house castle, there are levels to power " the deathmaker spoke out.

This alerted all the soldiers as they made their way towards him when the deathmaker smirked evilly, he held his bloody sword when he vanished into the darkness like he never existed in the first place.

All the soldiers were now searching through the hotel while looking to find the deathmaker, hundreds of soldiers armed and ready to kill the assassin that has made his appearance known to them.

" Just as I thought, they're weaklings...i would have been detected already from this spot, i didn't even try to hide myself " the deathmaker said when he giggled out softly, he sat on the rooftop.

" Now it's time to hunt my prey down " the deathmaker spoke out.

In a matter of seconds, bloods were spilled as bodies were dropping, littering the ground with bodies severed by the blade of the deathmaker, the more they charged against him...the more he slaughtered them.

Meanwhile memphis zaichi has been having fun with his whores.

Squeezing the boobs of a whore while being sucked on by another, their moans could be heard from a few metres away when a soldier rushed in, breaking the door of the room and frightening the whores...

" Huh? who do you think you are to badge into my room while i am having my best time? how dare you? " the raging voice of lord memphis zaichi was heard when the soldier fell on his knees and bowed his head before his lord.

" Lord memphis, lord memphis.....you have to leave, we are currently under attack and many of our men are dead, this assassin....he is completely different, he is a monster " the soldier screamed out loud.

" Tsk, i didn't know i had cowards and weaklings serving me as my soldiers, i am about to have some fun with my little babies, keep that assassin busy until i am done " lord memphis zaichi said with smiles on his face.

" But...but my lord, this is serious....we have to...." the soldier couldn't complete his statement when his blood splashed heavily on lord memphis zaichi whose eyes were wide open while in the state of shock.

All the whores screamed out in shock as they just saw a man being beheaded right before their eyes, their screams became even louder, they understood the true meaning of fear when heads were thrown into the room.

" Hello memphis zaichi! "

The voice of the deathmaker was heard as he made his presence known, entering into the room to see all the whores screaming out in fear, the deathmaker grinned evilly when he crushed a bodiless head with his feet.

" Who....who are you? " memphis zaichi asked in fear.

"Memphis Zaichi, the prime minister of the Vorgan Empire and quite the terrifying merchant of the West, one of the richest men in the West, you are quite famous for stealing from the people and controlling the weak."

"Dominating weaker cities and creating a slave trade that only one and your rich folks benefit from, but I don't care about your dirty works. After all, it's the nature of the weak to be used and disposed of."

"It's natural for them to suffer," the Deathmaker spoke out.

"Then... then why are you here? Why are you attacking me?" Memphis Zaichi asked while shivering in fear. The Deathmaker grinned evilly when he slowly took off his eye patch and sighed.

"The game of death is always an unfair one, but when it hits your family and loved ones, you will always want to have your way. I'm simply here to pay you back for what you did seventeen years ago," the Deathmaker stated.

"Seventeen years ago? I don't understand what you are talking about. I don't remember killing a family seventeen years ago," Memphis Zaichi spoke out. He wanted to reach for a sword to attack the Deathmaker.

When his right hand was sent flying as his blood splashed heavily on the ground, he screamed out in pain when he fell on the ground, slowly moving back while his eyes were filled with fear. The deathmaker giggled softly.

"Even the wicked pray for mercy, huh? do you remember the name Baylor?" the Deathmaker asked.

"Baylor? Are you talking about the Baylor Clan? They were destroyed seventeen years ago with no survivors? There is no way one of them would still be breathing until now," Memphis Zaichi spoke out.

"Well, that's true considering it was a massacre. But you are right, the Baylor Clan is destroyed and dead. I'm the ghost of Baylor, the one who is your end," the Deathmaker spoke out.

"The ghost of Baylor? This can't be happening right now. Please spare me. I will give you anything you want—my whores, my gold, my position, my daughters. Anything you want, please spare me," Memphis Zaichi begged.

"Your gold? Your whores? Your position? They are all useless to a ghost. Prince Adrian never begged for his life when he chopped off his head. Don't be at least embarrassing," the Deathmaker declared.

"Prince Adrian? Don't tell me you are the Deathmaker?" Memphis asked in shock.

"Oh? You are just figuring that out now? There are five of you who created the massacre known as the Baylor Slaughter Incident. Taking you out makes it three more targets to destroy, and I won't ask you their names."

"I prefer hunting them out my own way," the Deathmaker said when he swung his sword, chopping off the second hand of Memphis Zaichi, causing him to scream out loud while crying like a child.

"Please spare me. I don't deserve this," Memphis Zaichi begged when he got pierced by the blade of the Deathmaker, coughing out blood from his mouth when the Deathmaker sliced through his body.

Killing him in one of the most bizarre ways ever when he chuckled softly!

The blood of Memphis Zaichi splashed heavily on his body, grinning evilly when he slowly turned towards the whores who were holding each other's hands. They were all filled with overwhelming fear.

"I know this is your job. Whoring has been your way of income, but it pains me to see young and attractive women like you being brought down to this manner, to be toys for this old politician."

"I have no reason to kill you ladies. Get lost."

The Deathmaker ordered as his voice carried authority when all the whores ran out of the bedroom in fear. They ran as fast as their legs could carry them when suddenly they were all slaughtered while running away.

"Sorry, I changed my mind. There is no reason to let them know that I am the one who killed Memphis Zaichi. If they trace this to the Baylor Slaughter Incident, the remaining three would get cautious."

"There is no reason for them to know they are about to be hunted. I prefer playing this game this way," the Deathmaker said with a smile on his face when he sliced a woman in half without hesitation.

"Death is always a game!"
