Chapter 21 Killing my master
The old magician’s next target were the few skeleton soldiers that were attacking the last few guards. The skeletons collapsed onto the ground with the forces sustaining them being cut off. The last two guards were alive full of injuries!
The old magician looked at me. His face was full of anger!
"Sidola! You really disappointed me! You’ve fallen to this state… I couldn’t believe you’ve become a Necromancer, exchanging your soul with the dark forces! ”
"I'm sorry... Master, please forgive me! But... I had no other option..." I calmed down. It was normal for my master to show up here. Though his timing was a bit strange. At the beginning of this siege war, the magicians in the city had been asking for help from the Sage Tower. The Sage Tower sent a large number of magicians (this is also an important reason why the war lasted for so long). The war continued for so long. Of course the Sage Tower would have contacted magicians scattered around the world to reinforce the city. My master must be among those being contacted.
"You had no other option? What do you mean by no other option? Controlled by your desire and ambition, you chose the dark path…You are my shame. The disciple I taught eventually turned into a Necromancer…I really regret the softness back then. I should have thought that the fire in your heart would lead you to the dark path…I shouldn’t have kept you with me at all…”
"Sorry! Master!" I said faintly, "Let me finish my goal, I will be ..."
"Stop! Do you want to kill more people? Do you know how many people died under your subordinates? Look at your hands. They are full of blood! Blood from innocent human beings!”
"This is their choice! I didn't want to start the war! They forced me into it! I told them from the beginning, just give me the King and his family, then I will leave…Sometimes it is impossible to negotiate in this world. Only force could solve everything!”
"Unbelievable you’ve turned into this?" The old magician looked at me. I looked back at him without fear. "Sidola, I am really sad. Your heart has been completely changed by the dark force! I told you that the power of darkness is inaccessible, you will not get the power of darkness, only the darkness will get you! I really regret why I collected those documents, and I even regret that I let you read those documents... Now isolate the source of the death army! Leave here with me! ”
"I will do this, when I finish my goal..."
The old magician looked at me. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
"Do you still want to kill him? He is your father. No matter what he did, he is your father. Flowing inside your body is his blood! Without him, you couldn’t exist! ”
"Father? Haha haha... Father?" I laughed. "You said this old bastard is my father? Haha... Haha... It’s so ridiculous..."
I stopped laughing and looked at my master's face!
"You called him my father? This man who deceived my mother to marry the princess is my father? This man who had never looked after me and my mother, and who didn’t even show up when my mother was expelled from the city for unhappiness is my father? This man who led the armed soldiers to my house, chopping my mother with swords in front me and killing me with sword is my father? This man who laid my body with that of my mother and set fire to our house is my father? You are joking! Father? Does he deserve his sacred name? I never had a father. I only had a mother who raised me up alone! And this man, killed my mother in front of me! Master! Do you know how ferocious his face was when he was killing us? Do you know the eyes of my dying mother, the eyes I saw when I was with desperate pain in the fire? The only thing I saw at that time were the eyes of my mother! Her eyes reminded me from time to time not to forget who killed us and not to forget to revenge! Father? You called him my father?”
I talked faster and faster and I was nearly yelling in the end.
"Yes! I indeed have his blood in my body! Whenever I thought of this undeniable fact, I would be in extreme hatred that I wanted to end my life! Look at my hands and the scars on my hands. These are the traces that I cut myself to let the dirty blood in my body run out! Do you know how much I struggled for so many years? When I woke up every morning, the first thing I did was to recite the vow I made on the first day! The vow of revenge! You are right. I sold my soul to the dark force in exchange for my current power. Because only the darkness can give me the power for revenge! Originally, I wanted to become a court magician and then assassinate him. But I never expected I still needed to spend 20 more years before I can become a court magician! I was willing to turn to the dark side in exchange for everything of mine for the power, whether it was becoming a Necromancer or something else. I would give my everything as long as I can revenge! He killed my mother for the kingdom, for the princess, for fame and power. Then I will do the same to let him feel the pain of losing his beloved ones! I will take away all he has, destroying everything he cares ...... and you asked me to stop, at a time when I was about to achieve my goal? I can only tell you. I—could—never—stop!”
"Master, you are my closest relative in the world and my respected person! I will never forget that you rescued me from the fire. I will never forget that you helped me to bury my mother! It was you raising me up and teaching me magic! Except for this, I can agree about anything you ask for—but only cannot agree to this!”
"Those innocent people? Did they offend you? You actually manipulated the death army to destroy the whole kingdom and let countless people die..."
"Master! Look at my forehead!" I pulled up the hair on my forehead and revealed a scar under my hair. "I can't forget the day when my mother was expelled from the city for being unchasteness. How did the innocents treat us? The stones were hitting over like raindrops. Even though my mother protected me from the stone with her body, there were still scars on my head! I will never forget the way my mother cried and the humiliating moment!...Since they rejected my peace proposal, then they have to bear all the consequences! ”
The old magician stared at me and said slowly!
"Sidola... You are no longer the Sidola I know... The dark force has completely engulfed you! Since I took you to the path of magic, let me end it all and free you from the darkness…”
"Stop! Master! I don't want to fight with you, don't force me! You know my power now! You are not my opponent!"
"How do you know without trying?” He pointed his wand at me and started the spell I had heard many times before…
The old magician had to step back again and again, until he leaned on the dark wall that had been smoked! His robe was full of blood and more blood was coming out from his mouth! The magic fight between us just now had destroyed the broken palace again, with fragments everywhere! Except for the little kid and the old bastard who were protected by my master, there was nobody standing in the palace. All the guards and my men were buried by collapsed stones!
My master was unable to move any more under my ‘frozen magic’. Now I can do what I have finished yet!
I knew that a bursting spell had mistakenly hit the old bastard. He wouldn’t live much long. But before he died, I wanted to make him feel the last pain! The little kid must be his most precious kid. Otherwise, he would not let him hid in the secret place while he himself was waiting for me here? I wanted to let him see the final ending of the little kid!
I walked to the kid. My master’s magic was protecting him. But this protection was useless to me! I quickly broke through the magic layer, grabbed the little kid and sent him to the old bastard.
"You...You..." With every word, there came out some blood from the old bastard’s mouth. But I was sure it would take a bit while before he lost his consciousness!
"Look at it!" I looked at the old bastard. "Look at how your most precious son die... haha..." His desperate look in his eyes made me very happy! The nightmare that had been torturing me was finally about to end!
…
The child suddenly disappeared in front of me, replaced by another figure. But I had already launched my magic and could not pause anymore…
"Master..." The old magician fell into my arms. His chest was full of flesh and blood. Even his bones and organs were completely broken! I clung to him subconsciously, hugging my master, the old magician who saved me and raised me up, my closest relative in the world except my mother…
"Let him go... he is still a child. He doesn't know anything..." My master spit out the last breath in my arms.
