Chapter 10: - Massacre in the city

"Who the fuck are you?" A man whose right eye had a long scar and was holding a cigar in his hand asked the cloaked figure who just entered his house.

"Let's just say, I am inferno Blaze." Saying that Aditya rushed towards the leader of the Vile Crew.

Bang!

"What the hell do you want? Why are you even attacking me?" The man who was the leader of the vile Crew gang asked as he defended himself from Aditya's attack. Being a body cultivator, this man's stats were higher than Aditya's. But Aditya had an advantage in firepower.

"I came to repay the interest." Aditya replied in a sarcastic tone as he charged at the man name Amir once again.

Clang!

"Repay the interest? I don't remember paying you." Saying that Amir pushed Aditya back and then retreated 10 meters away.

The man named Amir was 5 feet 5 inches tall. His body was slim and muscular. The scar on his right eye gave him a scary appearance. Amir had long black hair that he tied in a bun. He was wearing a black kimono that had a pirate symbol on its back. Amir here was a Mid-2nd-order body cultivator. Unlike normal cultivators, his cultivation was rather focused on making his body tougher.

"Well, I don't know which fucker sent you here. I am not going to let you live."

On the streets, most of the gang members of the vile crew were drunk and pissed.

"Did you hear what that alcohol addict did today?"

"Of course I did. I was here when the Norlor family's head was being publicly executed."

"Thanks to that bastard King, today we were forced to use our profits to pay the tax. I swear one of these days, I will kill that king by my own hands."

"Idiot, you're only a first-order cultivator. From what I heard, the king has a right-hand man who can even kill a Peak first-order easily. Only our mighty leader can put an end to this King's rule."

"Yeah, if things continue like this then we won't able to earn any money." While the gang members were talking to each other, they suddenly heard a loud sound.

Boooom!

Everyone looked at their left side, only to see two figures fighting each other.

Aditya charged forward aiming his sword at Amir's neck but at the last moment, the pirate leader sent the young dragon flying with a kick on his stomach.

Aditya was pushed 5 meters back. 'That kick almost broke my ribs. I have to be careful.' Ignoring the pain in his stomach, Aditya quickly used one of his skills.

Molten Bolt!

A crimson red volt of lightning was sent forward in Amir's direction.

Being a Middle 2nd-order body cultivator, Amir quickly bent his back and narrowly dodged the molten volt by only a few inches. When the volt passed by his chest, Amir in a small second was able to feel the terrifying temperature of the attack.

Aditya knew that Amir could dodge his attack, he wasn't foolish enough to think that his attack would hit a Middle 2nd order. The young dragon quickly charged at Amir as soon as he fired the molten bolt.

'System, add all of my free stats to my agility.'

Just after dodging the molten bolt, Amir's eyes landed on Aditya. 'That attack was so powerful. I can't let his attack hit me. Otherwise, I will be doomed.' As Amir prepared to engage Aditya in close range, he widened his eyes in shock.

"What the...Clang!"

When Aditya was only 3 meters away, his speed suddenly increased. As Amir noticed the tip of the sword that was about to touch his chest while gritting his teeth Amir somehow managed to use his dagger to block the attack.

Clang!

"I thought this would be enough to end your life." Aditya looked at the small cut on Amir's chest.

Fiery Blaze!

The next second Amir was greeted with a huge wave of red flame coming from his right side. Without thinking anything, just relaying on his instinct Amir quickly moved to the left side. But just when Amir moved to his left, he noticed a sly smile on Aditya's face.

'Something is wrong'

Before he could understand what was going on, just when Amir took a 4th step towards the left, his left leg was on fire.

Ahhhh!

All the criminals and thugs in the western part of the city heard the loud and painful scream of Amir. Amir quickly looked down. A horrified look appeared on Amir's face seeing the lave right under his left foot.

Molten Bolt!

Without wasting any time, Aditya put his both palms together. A powerful red-orange volt of lightning shot towards Amir and hit his chest.

Bang!

Amir was sent flying more than 15 meters away. He directly crushed the city walls, as the walls beneath him cracked.

Cough!

Looking at the figure who was standing 20 meters away as red flame danced around his body, Amir at the moment of his death had only one question in his mind.

"How?"

After a few seconds, the pirate leader's eyes turned lifeless. His entire body was still stuck on the city wall. The molten volt had burned his chest, shoulders, and his thighs.

[Ding! The host has leveled up.....]

'I wouldn't have won the fight if I had not used my Eruption Wave. The Eruption Wave allows me to control lava at a certain range. I already had created this trap when we landed on the ground. All I had to do was lure Amir into the correct position. So I used the Fiery Blaze to launch a fake wave of fire to move Amir towards the trap. Just when his feet touched the lava, I knew I had found my opportunity.' Instant learning and adaptation is a terrifying skill. Just when the battle started, Aditya's mind has been working on finding perfect counters against his opponent. Both Aditya's had never killed any human or any animal. But thanks to the Silence mind, Aditya's mind remained calm in this situation.

"Now that I have taken care of the root, it's time to clean the rest and plunder everything." The next second, Aditya vanished from his place. What happened next could be said in a few words, Pure Slaughter.

At late night, when the people of Azure city were sleeping peacefully, the western part of the city, where most of the gangs were located heard the screams of the Vile Crew gang. Aditya went on a complete rampage against the 200 members of the Vile gang. That night, Aditya had dyed his sword and his black cloak with the blood of vile crew gang members.

The slaughter ended within 5 minutes. But that 5 minutes was one of the most frightening times in Azure city. Small other small gangs who were allies of the Vile Crew tried to stop Aditya. The Blaze Dragon of course wasn't going to let those people leave. After killing the 200+ members of the vile crew, he went to kill the nearby small gangs.

By the time, Aditya stopped the whole western part of the Azure city was in chaos. Flames were burning the hideouts of the gangs, the roads were dyed in red blood, and corpses were lying on the streets.

When the slaughter finally ended, Aditya had massacred more than [600+] criminals within 30 minutes. The people who saw Aditya that night were traumatized. Those unfortunate people witnessed how brutally Aditya killed his victims.

At some point, when Aditya's killing count reached [500+], the criminals nearby the area were running for their lives. However, other than ordinary people, no other criminal who saw Aditya was left alive. Since most of the criminals were only first-order body cultivators, no one was able to give challenge Aditya.

After dealing with the gangs, Aditya took all of their spoils back to the castle. After doing all that, Aditya without making any noise left the Azure city as he had something important to do.

Scene change

A long time ago when the Istarin Dynasty was founded, three powerhouses came together to form Istarin Dynasty. The first king of the Istarin Dynasty gave the other two powerhouses two cities near the borders of the Zulux Dynasty and the Nepoca Kingdom. Both Cities also acted as fortress to defend the Istarin Dynasty from both neighboring Kingdoms.

Located in the northeast part of the Istarin Dynasty, the Eastgard Noble house, governed Zraka City. For generations, the Eastgard Noble house has been governing and also guarding Zraka City against intruders. While in the western part of the Istarin Dynasty, located near the borders, the Sarlus Noble house, defended the Vrane City.

Both Rulers of the Zraka and Vrane Cities were dissatisfied and were angry about the fact that king Ahmed choose a person who can't even awaken his bloodline as their next king. Both noble houses were very unhappy with the decision.

Due to Aditya's years of negligence towards the Istarin Dynasty, both noble houses began to operate on their own. Both noble houses stopped paying taxes. Instead, both noble houses invested heavily in the military increasing their number of troops.

The Eastgard Noble house who ruled the Zraka City went as far as to cut off all the connections with the Istarin King. The Eastgard Noble house began to act independently on an unofficial note. Ryan Eastgard who was the ruler of the Zraka city and the head of the Eastgard noble house decided to take things to the next step. Unlike his ancestors who swore to serve the King of the Istarin Dynasty, Ryan was an ambitious man who wanted to conquer and expand his territories. He wanted to become the Emperor.

In a large hall that has been decorated with gold and red carpet, sitting on a luxurious chair, the Zraka City ruler Ryan listened to the reports.

"Sire, I got some serious news from the Azure city." The commander of Eastgard noble house, Zayne kneeled in front of Ryan who now called himself the King of the Zraka city.

"What news?" Zayne gritted his teeth and replied while lowering his head.

"Today, under King Aditya's order, one of the biggest merchant families in the Azure city was publicly executed for not paying Taxes. Not only that King Aditya also sent a warning message to other merchants in the city to pay the taxes."

Ryan was a middle-aged man with long white-silver hair that reached down his waist. He always carried a sword on his waist. Despite looking like 30 years old, Ryan was actually 60 years old. Being a handsome man, Ryan had multiple wives and concubines.

At this moment, the handsome ruler of the Zraka city didn't look too pleased.

"Zayne didn't I tell you to not call that bastard this formally. He doesn't deserve to be the King."

"I apologize, your Majesty." Zayne tried his best to not show his anger.

Zayne was a commoner from a small village located near the Azure King city. Zayne became a soldier with the intention of serving this Dynasty. Zayne wanted to protect his village so he came to Zraka city. Being a talented man, Zayne quickly rose in the ranks. Eventually, he became the commander just after 4 years of his service.

Everything was going great for him until he learned the truth. Ryan wanted to expand his territory. So began to expand his territory towards the Silver Meadow Grove forest. However, in the process of doing that, Ryan's cruel orders have forced Zayne to take the lives of many innocent people. Not only that Ryan was also planning on betraying King Aditya in a few months.

"Alright, you may leave." Ryan stood up and after bowing his head even though he didn't want to, Zayne left the mansion. After leaving the Mansion, Zayne wrote a message to a certain person without anyone knowing about it.
