Lord Shadow

‘He was sent injured. But the injury was not that severe’

Azief smiles.

‘Did he become proud because of that?’

‘No. he said he had still had a long climb ahead of him. I think he also knows that the strike was not Your Excellency full power attack. And after that as compensation for making me use the first strike, he had accompanied me for a year, helping me hold off any enemies. After a year had gone by, he said he had pay all debts and leave from my side’

Then Sasha asked Azief

‘Did he pay all the debts, Your Excellency?’ Sasha needs to know Azief thoughts. 

She did not have that large of enmity with Oreki and she even feel grateful for Thunder Monarch help that year.

And she knows that Oreki did not mean to harm her at all. So, her tone was infused with a little bit of pleading tone.

Azief smiles as he notices Sasha desire

‘Oreki is always cautious. He never fought battles he could not win. He wanted to measure against me and as such when he got the information that you got a lifesaving measures from me, he must be itching to try to know the difference and gap between us’

Azief said.

Smiling, he continues 

‘He knows that I give you three strikes of attack to act as your lifesaving measures. He knows he had forced you to use one of those three strikes. 

‘And then he compensates you by accompanying you and protecting you for one year so you won’t have to use the other two strikes. First, he did that so you won’t hold it against him. Second, he did that since he fears I would seek him for trouble later. Since he never intended to make trouble for you and for me, why would I pursue him?’

Laughing, Azief then said

He had pay all debts. Oreki might be cunning and he might be scheming but he is a great hero. He is a little bit different than Hirate. His determination is strong’ 

Azief smiles and think nothing of it.

Oreki did not mean harm towards Sasha and instead was using Sasha to improve himself and increase his confidence against him.

If it was him, he probably would also do the same thing. The fact that he had accompany Sasha for one year also had dissolved any possible enmity that might arise because of this.

‘How about the second strike? Who made you used the second strike?’ Azief asked. Sasha face turned dark like she is remembering that moment once again. Then she answered

‘The Crime Alliance ambushed me in Sicily. I was surrounded by thousands of members of the Crime Alliance who all wanted to hack me to pieces. I am Disk Formation leveler but all of them are Energy Disperse Stage. And there is thousands of them. I am not Your Excellency. I don’t have the abilities to fight thousands of Energy Disperse Stage alone. I had to use it.’

‘It is not surprising. It is surprising that they would do that just to kill you’ Azief answers. 

Azief of course did not know that there is something called the Death List, a rumor in the criminal underworld that prompted such a crazy attack from the Crime Alliance.

Out of all organization in the world that hate him the most, Crime Alliance probably rank at number one.

It is worth it that he kills all those people on the archipelago. 

Many people might think he had killed indiscriminately but he had scan that island. 

Those on the island were all members of the Crime Alliance. Azief could see some of Karma lines between them.

Those who were unrelated were all swept away by a gust of wind that probably throws them into different parts of the world. 

The other forces of the world would not know this at this moment.

The more merciless he looked, the better it is for him. 

And Azief hope those that were saved by him knows the virtue of keeping their mouth shut and not speaking when they should not.

Then Azief added

‘Did they die? 

‘A lot of them died.

‘A lot of them died? Not all?’

‘Void was there’ she answered. Azief frowned and then he said

‘You are taking a lot of risk’

‘I got juicy information’ she reply

Azief smiles and then he just nodded. Sasha could not see Azief face who is smiling but she could tell that Death Monarch mood is good.

Then he asks

‘And what about the third strike? Who force you to use it? If you have that strike, you would not have been corned that bad by those ten people’

‘Katarina’ she answered. Azief almost halted and then he regains his composure and then ask her

‘Why would you fight with her? I thought I ask you to look after her’ Azief felt slightly angry. The Heaven roars and thunders clouds formed around the hundred kilometers radius.

Sasha then answers.

‘Because I look after her, she become angry and attack me. She knows that I have your lifesaving measures so she attacks me with the intention to kill me. So, I had to use the last strike. And then I had to leave because I could no longer shadow her’

Azief sighed. He knows what he is doing right now seems pathetic. Haish. He is truly being pathetic when he thinks about it.

‘Is she hurt?’

‘Only superficial injury. Instead, it is this subordinate that had suffer more’ Azief did not say anything and went silent for a second before sighing

What did she say?

‘She said, if you want to show her that you care, don’t do things like that. She did not like it’ Azief chuckles. He did not say anything for a while as he thought about a lot of things.

Suddenly Azief halted for a moment and look at the direction to the south and then he smiles

Then he laughs.

Sasha then ask

‘Why?’ Azief heard it and he smiles grew wider

Like Death Monarch, she too had the habits of speaking short sentence with Death Monarch.

Only when she reported things would she talk in details for fear that the meaning and the news not conveyed properly. 

When she asks why, what she means is why is he laughing. And Azief also understood her question. He replied

‘There is a giant tortoise coming to see my sword. Maybe he wanted to affirm something. That is why I laugh’ Sasha nodded. 

She too looked at the direction Death Monarch is looking at. But unlike Death Monarch she could not see anything. All she could see is thunder and lightning.

If it’s a tortoise that is coming to the sea, then that could only mean the League of Freedom have made a move.
