Rise of the Legendary Emperor 43 Aftermath II

Mervin finished telling what happened to Aqualis, Sears, Rosaline, and Hayden. While he was telling them Jemma already threw up a couple of times.

Even though they heard Mervin recalling the scene they couldn't believe him, Rosaline knitted her brows while Aqualis and Sears looked at Mervin with a doubtful stare.

"So the infamous Wind Killer Robert finally pissed off the wrong guys huh?"

Sears didn't like Robert very much so he cared less about his life.

"Sears, this is not the time to mock the dead" Aqualis said to Sears with a firm tone.

"What does it have to do anything with our killer?" Finally Rosaline opened her mouth to ask a question as a grin appeared on her brother's face.

"Mervin tell us what Evar told you?"

Until now Mervin's face showed a slight fear but when Hayden asked this question Mervin kept opening and closing his mouth several times before forming words.

However seeing everyone are looking at him he finally chose to tell them,

"Uncle Evar and his men searched for the parameters they found nothing"

"What do you mean nothing?" Aqualis questioned Mervin

Mervin took a deep breath and let it out again slowly

"I mean we only found the magical fluctuations of Uncle Robert and his men but not the killers" at the moment Rosaline heard Mervin, she had a heavy feeling in the stomach.

Unlike Rosaline, a slow smile surfaced on Aqualis' face

as the surprise sinks in. Aqualis then flicked her wrist as a small round pill appeared on her palm.

"Boy show us the location and you take this pill it'll calm your nerves"

The pill on her hands flew towards Jemma and landed beside her.

*****************

"Miss Aqualis Mister Sears" Evar greeted them with a small bow when he saw them descend. He was still securing and searching around the barren lands to find any sort of clue about his brother's killer while he saw Mervin brought visitors from Cold Moon Mansion.

"I'm sorry for your loss Evar " Aqualis said as Sears already started to walk towards the Crater with Rosaline.

As Rosaline and Sears got closer to the Crater a foul smell reached their nostrils.

Brought her hand up to cover her mouth when she finally saw the body and realized why Jemma's been throwing up

"Sick bastard" Sears gritted his teeth in anger, despite the hate towards Robert he never wanted him to die like this.

On the other side, Aqualis was standing before the carriage and staring at the writing Don left behind.

"Micheal" Aqualis was repeating his name, if Sears was with her he would see the cold killing intent in her eyes

After a while of checking the body of Robert, Sears and Rosaline joined Aqualis and Hayden to see the writing that Aqualis staring at

"So the killer's a man huh " Sears said as he read the writing in blood.

Aqualis hid her killing intent and turned to look at Sears

"Did you check the magical fluctuations?"

Sears scratched at his cheek and rubbed his chin for a moment before answering

"There should have been two magical fluctuations but I could only find one, just like at Bryan's home"

Anger boiled deep in Rosaline's heart, as hot as lava remembering her failure.

However, Aqualis had a cold grin on her face

"There was more than one killer" as she said Evar beside her nodded towards Sears in agreement.

"Even though our Micheal is a great master he couldn't have fought with ten peak masters and a great master like Robert"

Aqualis said as she slowly walked away from the carriage as everyone followed her.

Standing on the empty barren lands Sears searched his surroundings as he said

"Hmm there was a battle here too I assume it was with Robert's men" Sears rubbed his chin and said.

"Yes they were all peak masters according to Evar and all of them were experts who fought hundreds of battles"

Sears frowned as he walked past Aqualis and grabbed a handful of soil where the battle occurred

"You didn't find the bodies did you?" Sears asked Evar as Evan shook his head. A small grin emerged on Sears's face like he found something

"They were burnt without a grandmaster fire mage like me you wouldn't have found the trace"

But before anyone could say anything Sears let go of the soil as he continued

"They used some kind of mystical fire to burn the bodies I've never seen a fire mark like this"

Aqualis tapped her lips with her fingers as she thought about everything that happened related to the killer as Sears looked at Mervin then Evar

"What was Robert doing here on this barren land?" however Evar didn't answer him as he just looked at Mervin. Until now Mervin didn't tell anyone except Evar that why Robert came here, but now he's been questioned by a grandmaster.

Mervin was shaking in fear as Sears slowly stepped forward towards him, as a small snake made of fire appeared around Sears' hand.

"If you leave anything out I'll put this little fella in" Sears put his hand on Mervin's shoulder as the snake moved towards Mervin, at that moment Mervin couldn't think about anything as he started to narrate the things happened from where they met Micheal, Jemma's desire of Micheal's pet, the ambush she set for the dwarves to complete the task that given by the Cold Moon Mansion using Micheal as bait and sending Robert to clean up the work. Mervin said everything to Sears as Sears withdrew his hand and his snake from Mervin.

Having heard the full story Aqualis breathed a sigh and let out a small smile

"Evar Cold Moon Mansion will provide all the help to bring the killer to Justice" hearing Aqualis Evar didn't decline her help because he knew that combining the force of Ariel house and Cold Moon Mansion would speed up the process and increase the chances of catching the killer.

"Rosaline send a lotus serum and a sketch artist to Jemma, I want their faces drawn and distributed through the entire continent "

"Put a bounty on Micheal's head for hundred thousand low-quality magic stones"

Hayden's jaw dropped when he heard the amount but he quickly hid his shock and nodded. The magic stones were like universal currency in the empire, the magic stones were categorized as three which are low quality,mid-quality, and high quality. A single low-quality magic stone can be converted into gold coins but not the other way around. With the amount of bounty on Don's head, a person could easily live his or her life well off.

"Now the question is whether Micheal or whatever his real name is a one-man or he belonged to a group " Aqualis said and looked far away.

"A killer who leaves no trace of magical fluctuations like an Ultimate Assassin this world has never seen before, We need to capture that bastard asap before he does more damage"

Sears said as he took his flying broom from his space ring to take off however before he takes off he looked at Rosaline

"This is your only chance to redeem yourself, Rosaline capture him"

Sears didn't wait for Rosaline's answer as he took off leaving her behind

"I will make you beg for death you sick bastard"
