Bab 38: Chapter 38: Tracked?
The group of grade 3 sorcerers started to track the trail of cursed energy. The energy the woman picked up on wasn't Mute's instead it was the cursed spirit on his wrist. The group tracking the energy wholeheartedly believed that a cursed spirit had killed the woman inside the house.
After walking eventually the group ended up walking through a massive snow-covered mountain range. The mountain was lifeless, only dead birch trees could be seen. The group of people walked through a harsh blizzard. Their noses were red and their bodies shivered from the intense cold. After walking for a few more minutes a woman in the back with blonde hair wearing shorts and a black t-shirt complained.
" Are we sure this trail of cursed energy is leading somewhere? We've been following it for the past five minutes and besides the trail of cursed energy, there haven't been any tracks on the snow suggesting that something has walked through here. "
As soon as she said this a tan elderly man wearing a black robe scoffed, catching the blonde woman's attention as she stared at him confused. Before the tan man spoke.
" You're still too young, you're not wrong. There haven't been any physical tracks suggesting that the cursed spirit has passed through here. But look around, don't you see how hard this snow is falling? Any tracks would have been buried long before we arrived. "
The blonde woman stared at the man before sighing and nodding her head in agreement. She realized that the man was correct. The silence between the group returned as they walked through the blizzard with chapped lips.
They walked until they were close to the mountain summit. But while walking towards the summit in the corner of a brown man's eyes. He saw a raggy old wooden shack. Before he could say anything. He saw something gleaming. He stared at the gleaming light until it suddenly approached him. Before he could react a small string slashed his head off.
The group looked towards their headless companion in shock as his neck gushed out blood like a fountain. The tan man watched the lifeless body flop to the ground, but as he watched the body he suddenly crossed his arms but it was too late. The tan man's body was chopped into cubic pieces.
" What the hell is going on- "
Yelled out the blonde woman, whose head suddenly fell off. In seconds more than half of the group was slaughtered. Two people remained. They stood still in shock. The woman wearing a white t-shirt stared at the tan man's body until she sensed cursed energy appearing behind her. She spun around crossing her arms as a shin slammed into her arms. The force of the kick propels her off her feet, making her slam into a dead birch tree.
The woman lay on the birch tree barely conscious. The kick had shattered her arms. Blood leaked out of the woman's chapped lips as she raised her head forward and watched the final member of her group's head get chopped off in a swift motion. The woman's eyes couldn't track down the thing killing them. She scanned through the dense blizzard trying to find the thing killing them. She kept looking until her eyes locked on a woman with long dark hair with her arms crossed leaning on a tree.
Null looked at the woman before playfully waving her hand at her. The woman lying against the tree's face turned outraged as she yelled out.
" Are you the one killing us?"
A grin appeared on Null's face as she shook her head, before pointing towards her left using her index finger and middle finger. The woman's eyes widen as she looks to the left and sees a cloaked figure standing over her. Before the woman could say anything. The cloaked figure stomped onto her face, crushing her skull.
The woman's lifeless body flopped over onto the snow, dying it a crimson red. Mute looked at the dead body before pulling back his hood. The intense wind blew his black hair wildly. Over the two years, Mute's body has grown significantly. Mute now stands at 5'10. His body is lean and defined. His face is still clean but the scars covering his body have increased.
Mute looks over towards his sister before she speaks to him.
" We should take an assassination request together brat. The way you kill is fun to watch. They didn't even have time to react. "
Mute looks at his sister with a poker face. Null walks over to him, stopping beside him before talking again.
" Your cursed energy control is excellent. The only reason they could track you is because of the cursed spirit wrapped around your wrist. But I need to take leave. I'm behind on my own assassination requests since I was busy training you. But remember to use your technique on conceptual things you need to have a clear mind. Never let your emotions overwhelm you. "...
