Nathan kills 212 guards of those 2 major families secretly using scorching coins in just 21 minutes,
One of the 6th class swordsmen William finds it odd that after those explosions there was no movement from the enemy.
So William says to another swordsmen wislay,who is also his brother, don't you think it's too quite for an enemy attack.
Wislay says,may be they have retreated after noticing us and a 7th class mage or they may be assessing our strength before attacking.
William says, you may be right but I think before they make a move we must find them and kill them because I think these assassins were sent by that guy Nathan.
"Why do you think that" asks wislay
William answers, because we got an information 2 days ago that Nathan killed ludwin to become the Duke. But he is not the son of queen so many people will hinder his endeavour.
In those people, these 2 major families will be his biggest obstacle so I think that's the reason behind these attacks.
Suddenly Nathan comes infront of them and says not bad you have figured it out so as a gift I'll give you a painfull death.
William shouts "who are you,reveal your identity"
Nathan says,you have asked me politely so I will answer you, saying this he removes his mask and unseal his mana circles.
Nathan with grin on his face says,I am the one that you have been talking about,my name is Nathan, pleasure to meet you and I'm here to kill you all.
William and wislay were shocked after seeing Nathan in person but William recovers and after unseathing his sword he commands all strong members of 2 families to surround Nathan.
But nobody comes to surround so William observes his surroundings and was shocked after finding that there are nobody there.
Nathan laughs and says, I know you are thinking that how is this possible,we are here watching over them and also every body can send magical flare if they get attacked so how did I kill them.
It was simple if they knew they would get attacked they would send a signal, but I can assure you even after death they didn't know that they were dead and that's what an assassin do.
My scorching coin enters thier brain and first starts burning their internal organs and doesn't not burn the skin so even if you avert your eyes for 5 seconds the skin will be burnt and turned into ashes due to my 5th class spell "fire without sound and light".

Wislay says, wait that skill was only known by fire phantom so that means you are.......
"Fire phantom"says Nathan.
William says,huh one of our mission completed. I didn't know that fire phantom...no Nathan grace is this much of an idiot.
Saying this he takes a red stone from his pocket and says sir, you must have listened to all this. Wind mage voice is heard through crystal and it says I heard it and I am coming there.
Seeing all this, Nathan was calm and the next second he unseaths his sword and attacks William but wislay blocks it with his sword.
Wislay laughs and says,3 missions were given to us, to find the seed of light,to protect these two families and finally to capture fire phantom because we had a suspension that fire phantom was working with you.
But we didn't thought that it would be you. William says shut up wislay he didn't need to know that and just stall until wind mage comes here.
Hearing this Nathan steps back and holding his head he laughs like a maniac and says,thank you guys for your hard work.
Nathan fires a magical flare of white colour into the sky and after blasting it shows number 237. He says, except for you having a communication crystal,all of this is according to my plan.
Nathan continuous, I also wanted to thank you for bringing that amazing communication crystal for me.
William and waslay gets tensed and says, wait what do you mean.
Nathan asks,do you know who spread the name fire phantom and why?
William was about to ask something but suddenly his vision gets blurred and wislay directly drops to the ground.
Nathan laughs, I can see you two are in no position to answer so I'll answer it for you. I am the one who spread that name because I wanted to hide my identity as a poison master behind identity of fire phantom.
Poison master
It is the title given to the person who can create minimum of 200 types of poisons. Once a poison master can successfully able create 1000 types of poisons he can be called as poison grand master.
These types people are dangerous for the society so emperor issued an imperial order to kill them on sight. So nobody would reveal their identity even if they are one.
Nathan laughs and says,I don't even utter a single word in a mission if it is not required but I have been blabbering like an idiot for 5 minutes. Do you guys think that most wanted assassin in two Dukedoms would be this idiotic.
William also could not stand the poison so he also gets down on his knees and asks in a faint voice,when did you ......do it.
Nathan says,I did it when the groups were devided and you two were giving motivation to all your group.
To be honest detecting it is impossible because it smells like a perfume and I have applied it on myself taking an antidote. So all of you including members of this family is affected by it making job easy.
Don't even dare to think it was easy because this poison is my whole life's masterpiece and also 150 gold coins were used in making this masterpiece.
That poison name is called called poison of paralysis. It's effect grows with the time and if too much time is passed it can even paralyse your heart.
But don't worry, to paralyse your heart it'll take more than a day and I promise you I won't kill you two for atleast one month.
William and waslay tries to use their aura to get up but they could not do it.
Nathan goes closer and take communication crystal from them and using his mana he shuts it up.
William in a shock, asks how... how do you know how to operate that.
Nathan says,I learnt it by watching you use it. Please don't talk because if talk then the poison will spread more rapidly and you die and I don't want that.
William was petrified after understanding Nathan's plan. So he yells with all his might, you bastard how dare you concuct this devious plan.
Nathan says with mocking look,it looks like you finally used your brain. But waslay was still confused,so he asks William, what's going on here.
Nathan says, don't strain your brother,I'll tell you what's my plan is. Its actually quite simple you two won't be able move and through communication crystal, wind mage heard what's going on here.
So,to rescue you he will come here without any hesitation leaving the first group and the first group will be sitting ducks without any strong person to protect them.
I have already sent my signal to my 2nd squad of shadow killers team,so they will annihilate the first team so my mission of eliminating these two families will be completed.
I know wind mage is stronger than me so if I fight him head on then I may lose. But if I fight as a poison master and 7th class fire mage while wind mage fights while protecting you two, then the probability of Winning will exponential increased for me.
After hearing these words, waslay was devastated and tears formed in his eyes. William says, you cunning bustard that's why you didn't turn off the communication crystal immediately after poison affected us, you want make sure wind mage come here.
Nathan says, ofcourse otherwise why would I make a rookie mistake like that.
Suddenly wind slash comes towards Nathan but Nathan easily dodges it by stepping back few feets.
Wind mage comes infront Nathan and says prepare to die for poisoning my subordinates.
Nathan was laughing after hearing those words. William and waslay are screaming,wind mage please get away from here as soon as possible because it's a ............trap.
