Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 106: After death

Suddenly Nix's snake tattoo, The proof of Covenant of liaison with Felishia blinked for a few seconds glimmering in a white tone, and in an instant, a type of blue spatial rift opened up in the air.

"Nix?"

And Felishia walked out of the portal in a rush clutching her stave and looked at Nix's lifeless face in a daze.

Gunther turned towards her and said.

"Oh? Miss Felishia! You are two minutes late... He is dead."

Felishia couldn't help but be stunned.

"What?" 

"Can't you see? He is dead..."

"How?" Felishia asked with a dejected emotion.

Gunther just gave her a warm smile and said. "He was stabbed in the throat by a Feran knight."

"Cinzia what the hell were you doing when he was fighting?" She said, staring at Cinzia.

"Watching... You don't have any right to question me. You are at the same mistake just like me. At least I am better than you. I didn't see him as a tool."

Cinzia said nonchalantly and began to march towards their clan house.

"Madame Cinzia what happened to lord Nix?"

Yumeko asked with a worried expression staring at Cinzia's eyes that had stagnant tears.

"He is dead."

She said coldly and walked into her office.

Yumeko couldn't understand what happened so she turned towards other members who were wearing dumbstruck expressions on their faces just when Gunther and Dae Seok walked in carrying Nix's body.

As soon as they placed Nix's dead body. Tarok walked before the body and kneeled.

"Rest in peace... Awrr!"

Tarok screamed, patting his chest mourning his death.

If it was someone else's death they'd have easily disposed of it but since he is the lord of the clan,  they needed to at least announce his death.

Camila quietly stared at Nix's lifeless face for a few seconds and went back to her room wearing a cold expression on her face. 

"Why can't I get that damned chain and dagger from him?"

Gunther mumbled in inwardly while gawking at his dagger and chains of resentment. The two items were attached with Nix as a result they can't be taken off from him.

"To be honest this guy would have won if he had time to become stronger. Guess this is the limit for him."

Hyun Dae Seok said casually standing next to Reegan.

"It can't be helped. He had gone through many life or death situations so this was bound to happen."

Reegan said.

Yumeko walked from that place and went to Cinzia's office.

"Madame Cinzia... I believe you are announcing lord Nix's death?"

Yumeko asked, staring at Cinzia's black crystal.

"Yes, I have to convey this to all the three commanders."

By a few hours, all the three clan commanders were inside the clan house standing in front of Nix's body.

"He is really dead?"

Jack said in shock.

"Haha, what are you? Dumbass! Can't you see?"

Gregory with a laugh.

Rafila just stood in her place and received a stare from Cinzia that could pierce through her.

"Alright, We cannot get permission for Nix's Burial rights. So we are disposing of his body in the dump just like were we dispose of any other Outlaw." Cinzia said.

Some people placed flowers before him as they took Nix's body towards the city's dump. There was nothing much all they did was visit him and there was not even a place for him to rest.

The dump yard was vast and spread long enough to reach the end of the city's wall.

He was thrown into the border of the city where garbage was dumped. His limp rotting body was thrown like a shit packed in a big sack with his weapons since they couldn't separate it from him. They needed to at least respect his death by at least letting him have his possession.

A legacy of a rising star was already over.

In Cinzia's office room,

"Was that your scheming whore?"

Cinzia said, grabbing Daisy by her neck staring into her eyes with her fiery gaze.

"All I did was try to steal as I was commissioned by the administrator. I don't have anything to do with what happened today." Daisy said nonchalantly staring at Cinzia's eyes.

'Never have I ever wanted to use this ability...'

Cinzia muttered, gritting her teeth.

In that second Cinzia's eyes turned grey.

[Unique ability~ Eyes of flagrancy activated]

"Now answer my questions."

Cinzia said looking at Daisy who was in a trance.

"Yes."

She nodded her head.

"Why did you attack our clan?"

"The administrator commissioned us," Daisy said with an emotionless face.

"Who are you?"

"Daisy, a Level 5, alchemist."

'Tch, so she didn't do anything. Rafila was the one that pointed out? I can't believe this...'

Cinzia thought.

She just left Daisy who was in the hypnotized state to sit and took her seat and leaned on the table feeling frustrated and sad. She lost her brother and sister and now she lost a guy she liked. Her last clan was utterly destroyed. It could be said that she possesses a strong heart to move forward after losing a lot of people she held dear.

***

At the Dracton palace,

"Your majesty. The Transgressors clan lord has been killed."

"I see..."

"What should we do with his clan, your majesty?"

"We don't need to do anything. It will dissolve on its own... I believed he'd be of use but, it seems your prediction was wrong. I wonder why goddess Shyatin even had an interest in him." Raes Henil said, scrubbing his beard.

"It seems the killers are from Ferandel and they are the same people that killed Richardo."

"No wonder they killed that young man. Haha, I really thought that young man would be a big threat to my path... Guess I worried for nothing."

"My lord, What shall we do with Ferandel's actions?"

"Let's not rush things..."

He said and gazed out of the palace balcony that straightly stretched towards the city as he observed.

***

Two days later,

"Tarok is the chief! Challenge Tarok!"

Tarok scowled standing in the middle of the Transgressor's clan house. He was causing a commotion since Nix's death and it was the same with the other members. The clan slowly began to rot and separate.

Some members even decided to leave regardless of the loss they might get. Since their contracts were set with a time period of six months to two years they had to compensate.

"Tarok stop it!"

Cinzia scowled, gritting her teeth with her sky piercer on hand.

Helina just hid behind the wall and few others were pointing their weapons at him. Both Reegan and Gunther pushed their legs from the ground and began to attack Tarok side by side.

"Awrr! Tarok will take you all down!"

Tarok declared and simultaneously swung his hands. Cinzia used her spear and thrust it and pierced his thigh making Tarok fall on his knees. Immediately Dae-Seok brandished his sword and slashed Tarok's arms and made his green blood splurt out.

Nevertheless, He grabbed Gunther's arm and broke it in an instant and shook off Reegan who was on his back and picked his ax and began to swing towards Cinzia and pushed her to her limit.

"Illusionate!..."

Helina began to chant a spell and threw a bottle of gas.

As soon as she threw the bottle towards Tarok. He broke it and the bottle which contained a glassy powder blasted out and got into him as he inhaled.

"Mother! Father!"

Tarok screamed as he fell to the ground gazing at the doorway where he found an illusion of his father and mother with teary eyes.

"Everybody chain that beast down!" Cinzia ordered.

All the members began to chain him down immediately.

"Hah Hah, I cannot take this, I want to die already..."

Cinzia muttered inwardly while panting heavily.

At that moment a tall man wearing a cloak walked in. 

"Miss Cinzia, It's been a while isn't it?" He said and took his seat without giving a thought about the people around him

Cinzia stared at the man's eyes in a daze and said.

"Yes..."

Swiftly a few more people holding weapons entered the clan house. Actually, they were soldiers of Dracton.

"I cannot let you stay here any longer Miss Cinzia. I've let you take this property for lease but that doesn't mean you can exploit it... I need Two thousand gold coins for the destruction of my property." 

The man said nonchalantly and left as though he warned her with his soldiers.

{Haha, What are you going to do? Want my help?}

"I'd rather die than resorting to receiving help from you, Marbax!"

She said to the voice that talked to her inside her mind.

{Oh? Aren't you in a pitiful state now? Haha, your boyfriend was all just talk!}

The devil trolled her.

"Hah, Shut up... I can figure things out in my own fucking way!"

Cinzia said and began to search for the few files she had.

1. Marbax is a devil that assists Cinzia by administration her system. This was mentioned in Chapter 50.
