Chapter 13

No guards, but Sasuke sensed three energies inside the mansion, something he didn't sense in this town three days ago.

Very unlikely to be a shinobi, then it should wizards, but what business the Mayor had with them? Of course, it could be anything but still drew suspicion.

He knocked on the door and a steward welcomed him.

"Greetings gentleman, I apologize for the inconvenient, but the mayor has attended to his guest at the moment and wishing not to be disturbed," the steward politely said.

"I bet he does," Sasuke said, he stared straight at the steward's eyes, "tell him... I know the truth, see me or face the consequence."

"!" The steward stiffened, he was convinced this gentleman didn't come for a cup of tea.

"R-right away, sir," the steward said while shivering, he turned around and prepared to run.

"And tell him to bring his companies along, including those three people..."

Meanwhile, the three wizards returned from the Mayor's study room not long ago, they encountered the frightened steward.

"What's wrong? Did someone comes to kill the mayor?" the Silver Jacket laughed, followed by his other two teammates.

"Yes!"

Hearing this response, the three wizards startled, what?! But it was just a joke.

The steward ignored the wizards and rushed into the study room, not even bothered to knock as he could feel Sasuke's aura lingered on him, it's like having an angel of death breathing down his neck.

"What is this?! Have you gone tired of your job?!" of course, the Mayor was displeased with the steward's behavior.

"M-master, someone's at the door, he... he..." the steward couldn't even finish the words, he had passed out.

"Huh?!" the Mayor, Lorik, and the matured woman became confused, what's going on? Why the steward suddenly fainted?

Meanwhile, the wizards went to the entrance to check on Sasuke, the person who claimed about killing the mayor.

Just one guy? They admitted he look creepy, but he wasn't appeared to be menacing at all.

"Oi, you lost? This ain't a crazy institution," the Silver Jacket sneered, Sasuke didn't react to his insult.

"Just leave buddy, the Mayor is with us," the Long-brown hair walked forward with both opened hands.

Sasuke scanned them, then he closed his eyes and said, "What happens with the young woman?"

"Which one? Most of them with me either end up dead tired or wanting more~," the Silver Jacket couldn't resist playing dirty with him, this was a more personal feeling, he hated handsome dude such as Sasuke.

"The Inn Owner's daughter, she's being confined here as the result of your cheating."

"Careful with your words, don't randomly accuse people," the Long-brown hair frowned.

At the moment, the Mayor and Lorik also showed up, they immediately became angry when they heard Sasuke's words.

"Who are you? This town does not accept a stranger like you, please leave," the Mayor coldly said.

"I can make this simple or hard..." Sasuke took out his Kusanagi, said, "but you're going to confess either way."

The wizards were on alert, seeing Sasuke readied to take action, the Long-brown hair said, "Make a single move, you'll regret it."

Sasuke took a step.

"Disable him!"

The third person lifted his hand, a yellow magic circle appeared before his hand, and Sasuke felt something different in his body.

He brought his hand toward his mouth, he was coughing, his throat felt dry and the temperature of his body seemed to raise a little.

'What magic is this?' Sasuke frowned, however, the third person also frowned, and then he cast more magic.

This time Sasuke felt a pain in his stomach, his knees were weak, he even felt his nose ran with mucus.

'That guy...' Sasuke knitted his eyebrows, he admitted this magic was pretty annoying, but also useful to take down a target without having to fight.

But... if they were thinking simple magic as this could stop him, they were far from right...

Sasuke quickly took out multiple kunai and threw them toward the wizards.

"Careful!" the Long-brown hair stepped in front, he lifted both hands and the kunai paused mid-air, hovering before him.

'A magic to control something without physical interactions...' Sasuke thought, he remembered Erza could also use such magic.

Anyway, there were papers strapped into the handle of those kunai, the Long-brown hair saw them, but Sasuke's reaction was faster, he brought up two fingers.

Bang!

The papers turned into an explosion, blowing the Long-brown hair and the other as they were thrown backward.

"Bastard!" the Silver Jacket crashed onto the ground, but in a swift move, he rolled into a sitting position then pointed his palm toward Sasuke, the Lacrima on his bracelet glowed, the space around Sasuke twisted, and then it immediately blew up.

Sasuke managed to anticipate his action; before the explosion could swallow him, he had moved from his spot. Even under the effect of the magic, Sasuke's footwork still agile, he easily avoided the explosions and made way toward the wizards.

"Damn it, why my magic isn't working?!" the Third Person cast his magic in a hurry, but he couldn't follow Sasuke's speed, so he was unable to influence Sasuke more.

Sasuke took out several shurikens and threw them toward the wizards, the Silver Jacket blew them altogether.

"Aaargh!!!" the Long-brown hair manipulated furniture inside this hall, then he threw them one by one toward Sasuke, which the latter had no trouble slicing into pieces or dodging them.

"Die!" the Silver Jacket blew the floor in front of Sasuke, he jumped into the air to dodge it, but the Third Person had anticipated him.

His magic would cause someone to fall ill, or at least feeling sick, but with enough force, he could make them fainted with severe illness.

He aimed his hand toward Sasuke, who was in midair, focusing all of his magic power to bring down Sasuke at once.

The fact that Sasuke could still move around despite under the influence of his magic was already alarming, this either means he hadn't put in enough force, or Sasuke's physique was not ordinary.

Sasuke switched place with a block of wood, and then he appeared in the middle of three wizards.

Chidori Current!

The bolt of lightning scattered from Sasuke's body, directly zapping all of the people around him, including the Mayor and Lorik, albeit they got less shock since their distance was much further.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

They were screaming as electricity jolted their nerve, the third person crashed onto the floor, his body was twitching.

The Mayor and Lorik only felt their joints and bodies were numb, feeling a bit cranky to move.

But the Long-brown hair and Silver Jacket were able to resist the pain, the former swung his arm and aimed his palm at Sasuke.

Sasuke felt an invincible force pushed him aside, his body was moved and sent flying in midair.

"Torn Apart!" the Lacrima's stone on the Silver Jacket's bracelet shone brightly, an immediate heavy explosion swallowed Sasuke's figure as he crashed against the leftmost wall.

The Silver Jacket panted, he fell onto his knee, meanwhile, the Long-brown hair laid on the floor, his body was having a difficulty to move.

"Is... is he dead?" Lorik said, he felt as if he had lost his lips, couldn't feel them.

"Anyone who received such a heavy explosion shouldn't get away safely..." Silver Jacket said, "At least he lost one or two limbs."

"Who is this guy?" the Mayor knitted his eyebrow.

"I think I saw him several days ago, but I kind of forget..." Lorik frowned.

The dust slowly subsided, they were hoping to see a chattered corpse of Sasuke, but they were doomed to be disappointed.

Around Sasuke's body, there was some unnerving purplish barrier protecting him, he was without a single injury.

"What the fuck..." the Silver Jacket trembled, especially when Sasuke's both weird eyes staring at him, it's like a devil watched him.

Sasuke canceled Susanoo's first state, a simple form where he only summoned its rib cage, but it was strong enough to protect him.

Then he walked slowly toward the Silver Jacket, his Kusanagi held within his hand in reversed-manner.

"G-go away, die!!!" the Silver Jacket cast more explosions, but Sasuke was dodging them with no effort.

He covered Kusanagi with Electricity, and as he got within the range of his blade, he swung it toward the Silver Jacket, without doubt, it would kill him.

"Stop, stop, I confess, please, don't kill me!" the Silver Jacket was outright terrified, he hunkered on the ground with his hands above his head, unknowingly had rescued himself from Sasuke's blade, infused with Chidori.

"Fool, what are you doing?!" Lorik screamed, but he didn't dare to stop him.

"Fuck, I value my life more!"

"Speak," Sasuke said, his Sharingan was staring at Silver Jacket's eyes.

In his vision, dark smog covering Sasuke's body, a skull-like face emerged, drawing closer toward him.

"Hi... hi!" he was terrified, his body moved backward in instinct.

Then with no trouble, the Silver Jacket told Sasuke everything.
