Episode 38- I Decide Who Lives or Who Dies!

"Well, are you going to show me any kind of tricks before I can counterattack, the least I can do is let you use more of your skills because after I am finished with you… You might quit being a mage altogether."

"Huh, what do you think you are going to do to m—"

Suddenly he was interrupted by Shito, who was standing in front of him, grabbing him by the mouth. He grabbed his jaw so hard that you could hear it crack.

"Aaaahhhhhhhhhh! It hurts! It hurts!" Lucas cried out in pain. His mouth was being crushed, and he could hear his teeth swallowing his teeth.

Screams were so loud that everyone outside the barrier heard him, but none of the five great mages dared to say a word about his screams. After all, they had people near them that was more than willing to kill them if they got out of hand.

"You know, I was going to let you have a little more time to get your skills ready, but that mouth of yours keeps on running. You talk a bunch of nonsense but have no skills to show for it. That mouth runs so much that things tend to slip out that offends a person, but of course, people didn't do anything to you because of your status, but I'm completely different from those guys because I won't hesitate to kill you."

"Ughhhh….ughhhh, please…. let…. me…. go…." he uttered in absolute pain.

Not a single muscle in his face moved as the person in his hand was begging for his life. He was too scared and in so much pain that he just wanted it to end already. Lucas could feel his grip tightening, so he wanted to be free from his clutches as soon as possible.

But that was not going to happen because Shito would make an example out of him. He was too prideful and talked about sending his daughters to the government, so it was a given that he would have to pay for it. What kind of father lets someone that threatens their kids leave without a warning? Of course, no one did, so he would not let him go.

However, because his sister's words restrict him, he couldn't completely kill him. Still, he could do enough damage to break him as a person because even with the looks he had, deep down, if it weren't for his family, he was going to send lots of people to the depths of hell.

"...Do you think I'm going to let you go after all the things you said to my daughters? They might be the type to forgive you, but I'm my own person."

He started gripping Luca's jaw harder, causing him to cough up blood. His eyes started to roll to the back of his head, and his head looked like it was about to pop off.

".... I …. give…. u—!"

Shito quickly moved his other hand, covering his mouth before he could say another word.

"No, that's not allowed, good sir. I'm not going to let you weasel your way out of this one. You need to be taught a lesson, and that's what I'm going to do."

The four great mages looked around the room to see no one saying a word about the battle that was going on. They had clearly heard him about to give up, and yet no one said a single word about it.

"He was about to give up, so why are we still letting this fight dragon on?!" Kiana asked, demanding an answer. "Do you guys want him to die fighting that bra—"

"Quiet, I don't want to hear another word out of you because if I do, I'm going to kill you where you stand," Tenka said, releasing her aura from his body.

The aura caused Kiana to claw at her throat desperately, trying her best to get some air in her lungs, almost like a fish that was out of water gasping for air.

"O-ok, s-she understands, s-so please stop releasing your aura," Selena said, scared to make her even more upset. Even though the pressure was only aimed at Kiana, the rest of them were clearly affected by it, so much so that they could barely breathe.

Seeing the four mages struggling to hold their breaths, Tenka retracted her aura, turning her head toward her daughters. The two girls were not affected by her aura because she was making sure not to aim it at them. Plus, the two girls were standing by their mother, so they were not affected by her aura.

Lily still didn't understand why he still wanted to fight after he decided to give up, so she looked at Sara and opened her mouth, "Bu-but we want to ask you… Why is he not letting them go? After all, he was about to give up, but that boy stopped him."

"Did you really think that he was going to let him go after the things he was saying to his daughters? The reason I told him that Lucas needed to be alive by the end of the fight was because he would've killed him If I hadn't said anything. And he doesn't care about the government because he would attack them too."

Silence rained over the area as the four great mages tried to process the information they were receiving. Nobody could be crazy enough to attack the whole government building. Tens of millions of soldiers live in that building, armed and ready to fight at any time.

However, none of the mages knew of his full strength so the only thing they heard after hearing Sara's words was doubt. After all, nobody is crazy enough to attack the government building to pick a fight.

But no one was going to say anything aloud, and they decided to continue to watch the battle that was going on and noticed that Shito loosened his grip on Lucas, dropping him to the ground.

Shito looked the boy in the eyes before he started walking toward him. With every step he took, Lucas coughed up a pant of blood. His feet were infused with mana, and because of that, every single step he took sent waves that were infused with his mana.

"You can barely keep yourself alive… and after all that shit you was talking. But enough so, this is the end of this pointless battle, but a lesson is going to have to be given to you. After all, I don't want you to come back to fight me. I will engrave myself into your heart and after this battle, you to fear me for the rest of your life."

Once he arrived in front of Lucas, he looked at his body and noticed that blood was gushing from all over his body.

Moving his hand, he placed his finger in front of Lucas's face. His expressionless face still hadn't changed, but you could feel less emotion coming from him.

"....Wh-what… a-are…. y-you… do–doing… t-to… m-me…?" Lucas said, fearing for his life. He could barely get his words out of his mouth because of how savagely beaten he was.

Death was already nearing for him, but a near-death experience wouldn't engrave fear into his heart. He was a mage that was out adventuring the world, so he should have been in many near-death experiences.

"Of course, I'm going to kill you. How many times have I told you that? You just didn't understand, did you? I have told you many times that I will kill you."

"N-no…. don—"

Before he could finish his sentence, A loud snap noise could be heard, and the body of Lucas Evanstine had disappeared from the world.

"Whoops, I guess he is dead. Well, since my sister said to leave you alive, I guess I should revive you."

Shito bit his fingers, and a single drop of blood flowed from his finger and hit the ground.

A three-dimensional magic formation at the spot where his blood landed, and the body of Lucas Evanstine reformed in the world, but he wasn't in the state he was in before he got killed. All his injuries were healed. He looked like a brand-new person.

"So, how did you like the experience of death? You died once so—"

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. I'm at full strength. Did you think that was going to be enough to kill me? So now that I got my full strength back… let me go ahead and kill you!" Lucas shouted as he leaped forward at fast speeds to land an attack on Shito.

He enhanced his physical strength with mana. His strength was enough to destroy half of the city.

All his strength was put into the swing he was aiming at Shito. He was giving it one hundred percent. Instead of holding anything back, he wanted to kill him at that moment because he didn't want to die again because he felt nothing but endless darkness once he died.

However, his hand could not even reach Shito's face as he once again died a horrible death. He didn't even use his hands because a blink was enough to erase his body from the world.

This is my power. I decide who lives or who dies.

He looked at the empty space that was in front of him and bit his finger once more, and a single drop of blood flowed from his fingertip, "Resurrection." he said, as a three-dimensional magic formation formed beneath his feet.

The body of Lucas formed again, and once it did, he instantly kneeled in his presence with tears flowing down his face. Fear had completely overwhelmed him, and he could barely lift his body. He was in a constant state of fear, and his body was shaking constantly.

Of course, he is completely scared, and I heard that if a person died, they were sent to eternal darkness, then hands would pull them through the depths of darkness forever. The people were enslaved in a never-ending cycle.
