The spartans were waiting for the Senator's orders to kill him. The way he's sitting legs up on the table, the way he spoke made the spartan blood boil in anger.
"If you may" Michael looked at Gaya as she flicked her wrist. The very next mont, the door slamd shut.
"How?" the senator's mind went black seeing the door shut itself. The spartans looked bewildered about what just happened. They had no idea what he was about to do to them if the Senator refused to accept his offer.
Initially, Michael wanted to silently make the Senator his puppet but after witnessing how the nobles treat the slaves, he wanted to show the senator a glimpse of hell so he would do everything Michael says with no questions asked.
"From now on, you're gonna do everything I tell you to"
"Senator Caius, can we kill him now?"
"GRRRRR!" The Giant growled as usual while the spartans basically trembled to kill Michael.. Yet, Senator Caius hesitated to give the order because he wanted the artifact he ordered Heinberg to get. Most of all, he didn't want the Spartans to know about the off-the-books operation.
But it was too late for him to send the spartans out as Gaya already put a barrier around the room when she shut the door. The barrier would prevent the Spartans from leaving along with any sound.
"As you can see, my spartans are very eager to kill you. You and I both know what's keeping from giving the order" The senator retrieved his calm composure. He didn't know what sort of technique they pulled to close the door but with his spartans and the Giant, he felt invincible. As far as Caius was concerned, their lives were in his hands.
"What do you think is in that bag? You can tell him H" Michael didn't worry about confirming Caius the existence of the artifact. If Michael's guess was right, Caius would either doubt the truth or try to get his hands on the satchel. The mont H nodded, Caius's body shuddered.
"But it's mine now"
"GRRRR!"
"I'm gonna give you one last chance kid, give the artifact and beg for my rcy, I might tell Giant to go easy on you two"
"Giant that Giant this, what's the big deal? You think he can protect you from "
Finally Caius snickered, having enough with Michael.
"Giant"? The Giant took a step forward as the Spartans took a step back. They had all seen what the Giant would do to Caius's targets.
"Ignitia" He aid his index finger at the Giant's head as a thick golden lightning bolt went straight through the Giant's tal helt like a hot knife through butter. For a few monts, no one uttered a single word, they were speechless.
Thud!
It took the Giant's body a few seconds to hit the ground. Soon the Giant was lying in his own pool of blood beside Senator Caius.
"Protect the Senator!"
Only the spartan soldier Michael t first regained his senses. He imdiately shouted at the other spartans realizing the danger Caius was in. Caius however stood still in shock. His brain went blank seeing magic for the first ti in his life.
"Wind Blast" before the spartan soldier could co to the senator's side from where he was standing, Michael cast another spell, blasting the spartans as well as the senator into the wall.
"Spartans, gladiators, giants no one can protect you from if I want you dead" Michael slowly stood up from his chair. The spartans were strong but the wind blast was stronger. The force of them hitting the stone wall almost knocked them out.
Senator Caius wiggled on the ground, trying to get up. Almost all the spartans on their knees while trying to get a good grip of their spears to attack Michael and defend the Senator.
Gaya walked along with him before kicking one of the spartan soldiers in the gut. She didn't stop with one but kicked every spartan soldier. If she was a southerner, they would have dodged or evaded her kick. Since she used Arch energy to speed her movents, they could do nothing.
In a couple of monts, all the spartan soldiers were coughing up blood with broken ribs. Only Caius was lying on the ground unhard by Gaya.
"Get up" Michael lifted the senator by his neck,
"Do you need another glimpse? I think you do" he held Caius in one hand while pointing his index finger at the spartan soldier they t first.
"Ignitia" The lightning bolt fired from Michael's fingertip took another life in a blink of an eye. The blood splattered on Caius's toga painting the white toga red.
"Basta-"
"Ignitia"
The spartan soldier who just opened his mouth to curse Michael received a bolt of lightning through his head.
"Argghhh" the other spartans growled in a mix of anger and shock. They wanted to stop him from killing more people. Their instincts and training told them to save Caius first before figuring out how he is using magic inside the void line.
"By sending your son to the undead island, you issued a death warrant on him. What's that tell you about you?" Michael's grip around Caius's throat tightened. The old man's face started to turn pale,
"That you're not a good man, in other words, you're a bad man"? After he said that, he threw the senator to the other end of the room.
Thud!
"Senator!"
The senator hit the wall pretty hard before falling to the ground. His neatly ironed toga now looked ssy with a few stains of blood.
"Stay still" when the spartans tried to stand up, Gaya began to kick them once again. This ti harder than before.
Michael first went to the chair beside Jonah before dragging the senator by his neck.
"Let's start the conversation again" Michael put the senator on the chair beside Jonah who was still in an unconscious state. He then hopped onto the table, putting his legs on the senator's chair's arms.
"Normally I would have killed you slowly and painfully" tiny bolts of lightning danced around Michael's fingers. He moved his hand closer to the senator's face so he could hear the sound of electric bolts.
"Who...who are you?"
"I'm the man who's gonna rule this continent" Michael pulled Caius's right arm,
"L"
"ARRRRGGGGG!"
Michael began to write his na one letter at a ti on Caius's arm using the lightning bolt. His skin began to burn as Caius scread in agony.
"U"
"Senator!"
"Arrggghhhh!"
Because of the barrier Gaya put around, not a single sound escaped the room. Watching Lucifer torture Caius sent a chill running through Heinberg's spine. He had seen the senator and the spartans torture and kill people before but he never imagined soone would do the sa to them.
"Karma is a bitch, Senator," Heinberg sighed inside. After tattooing the letter 'F' of his na, the senator's eyes rolled inside the socket. He was losing his consciousness yet Michael injected a small amount of healing potion into Caius's bloodstream to keep him awake. It was not enough to heal the burn wounds, it was just enough to keep him from losing consciousness.
"Say my na"? For the first ti since he ca to Caius's house,Heinberg saw his face turn serius. Standing on the side,seeing him like this terrified the heck out of Heinberg and he could imagine how terrified the Senator would be. Senator's body shivering was a pretty good sign of the fear in his heart.
"Say...My...Na" The intensity of the lightning bolts increased while the room began to turn darker and darker.Caius looked up growling in pain to see Lucifer's eyes glowing in crimson red color.
"Lucifer"
The mont the senator said his na, his eyes fired up as dark smoke enveloped his body,completing Michael's Dark Lord form. WIth a swift kick, Michael turned Senator's chair to face the spartans.
"I'm gonna make you a one ti offer" while speaking to Caius, he pointed at a spartan.The lightning bolt brushed past Caius's ear and ended the spartan's life in a second.
"From now on" Yet again, he sent another lightning bolt killing another one.
"You work for "
Heinberg saw another spartan soldier lose his life.Their eyes were still open with full of fear and shock.
"Or you and everyone you care for"? this ti Michael raised both of hand as several lightning bolts shot from his hands killed all the spartans in the room. When the lightning bolts disappeared, the spartan bodies perated smoke and burned skin sll. The sight made Caius's blood run cold.
"Will die" Michael finished his sentence after he turned Caius's chair to look him in the eyes.
"Their deaths were quick. Betray or even think about it, you will beg for death"
While the senator was scared shitless, Michael willed the system to place a teleportation rune on the table so he could teleport in and out of the room wherever he wanted discreetly.
"Clean the ss.Our Senator here will offer a generous amount of gold to the spartans' families who unfortunately lost their lives saving the senator's life from a group of assassins"
