William screams with all his might please get away from here because this is a trap.

Wind mage throws a potion towards him and says I know it's a trap, now shut up and drink that. It might not entirely cure the poison but it can alliviate symptoms for few minutes.

So, take your brother and get away from here and no need to worry about me.

Nathan laughs and says,maybe I have over estimated you because i thought you might have more than 1 poison suppression potion Eldon or should I say arch mage of arturus.

Wind mage says,so you have figured out who I am, fire phantom but I doesn't matter because you are going to die here anyway and it's also doesn't matter how many wiles I have because they don't need to fight,they just need to escape.

William drinks that wile but in the next second he faints and drops to the ground.

Wind mage was shocked after seeing this and asks what's going on,how did he faints.

Nathan calmly explains,look Eldon I am not a rookie poison master so I knew after coming here you would definitely use that suppression potion to help him

So when I took communication crystal I gave another type of person to them without getting noticed. That sort of poison doesn't do anything until one gives the affected person a poison suppression potion.

But if my poison combines with poison suppression potion then it creates a reaction and until that person is of 7 th class,he can't help but faint and I also forgot to tell you that reaction also exponentially increases the rate of poison spread.

Before that guy has 1 day time before his heart stop from the poison but now he only have approximately 50 minutes.

Eldon was in rage after hearing those words so he immediately attacks Nathan with 6th class spell, wind slicer.

Many wind slashes directly attacks Nathan. Nathan immediately uses his mana to strengthen his body, so with super human agility he dodges some slashes and cuts some of them with his two daggers.

Nathan then calmly explains,look Eldon, honestly I became an arch mage recently, so I wanted to check my powers against a stronger mage and you are perfect for that.

That's why I didn't use those two to threaten you by putting knife to their throat. So now you have 50 minutes to defeat me and until then I won't touch those two and if you wanted you can take them some where safe.

But don't try to run away because even if you run, nobody in the world would be able to save that William under 50 minutes. Because I only have the antidote to those poisons.

So,your only option is to defeat me and take the antidote and please take that mask off because I don't like that type of mask because my father gave me similar mask on my birthday.

Eldon thinks, even if I fight him and defeat him he might destroy antidote or he might have kept it elsewhere. Thinking this, he removes the mask and says,huh it seems you have planned everything.

You know you and I don't have any grudges before and I came here to find a seed. I was planning on using these two families to find it.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

I know you were the one behind the assassins attack before. Now things turned out like this,I don't want to protect these families.

If you want to kill them I won't stop you and three of us gonna retreat even better if you find that seed then I can even personally support you in becoming Duke.

Nathan says,I thought you were bluffing about the seed but if it is real then what's the use of it and I know Fiona sent you here so it might be very precious,so don't even try to lie about it.

Eldon sighs and says,Yes princess sent me here and to be honest even she didn't know much about it.

We needed an artifact to heal somebody so after going through many ancient books princess came across this seed.

In short this seed is used for healing,even extreme injuries and some chronic diseases.

Nathan thinks, I thought I was lucky that I survived even after entire ruin collapsed on me but if that seed can heal then it solves everything.

This also explains how my bones got healed faster than usual but I don't see any miracles after eating that seed because a 8th class healer also can do healing with the same speed.

Whatever if it's just a healing seed then I don't need to worry about the consequences. Thinking that Nathan says, Eldon before agreeing on anything I wanted to test my magic against yours.

Don't take this lightly because if you can defeat me,then only we can talk otherwise even though I love deals, I won't deal with weaklings.

Eldon says,if that's the case,I won't hold back and finish this match within 10 minutes. Saying this, Eldon uses 7th class spell tornado cutter.

A large tornado is formed infront of Eldon and sends it directly towards Nathan. Just before reaching Nathan, Eldon prepares a windshield to protect himself and his subordinates.

Nathan thinks, wait how is this is even an attack because even if I got sucked into the tornado I would probably end up with some scratches.

Suddenly from that tornado, many Power full wind slashes comes towards Nathan with incredible speed.

Nathan stops,one of those slashes with his dagger as a consequence his hands started shaking. Nathan thinks,so this is the true power of an arch mage.

Nathan continuously stops those attacks using his daggers with difficulty but suddenly Eldon casts another 7th class spell wrath of winds, due to that, wind in 1 km radius is starts accumulating in the tornado attacking Nathan.

Due to this ,the tornado becomes much bigger and much wilder,as a consequence attacks also got stronger.

Nathan, while defending himself says,I didn't thought you would use mass destruction attack here, because of large number of people in this family.

Eldon says,I think about the morality after the safety of me and my people.I think that's how most people live .

Nathan with a laugh says, I thought I was only the bad guy here but it seems most people are also bad guys.

Nathan, while dodging uses his newly learnt 7th class spell spear of fire. Due to that a large spear made of fire is formed. Nathan condenses that big spear into normal sized spear using his mana.

Nathan directly sends it towards that wild tornado and they collide with each other and an explosion can be seen at the point of impact.

After few seconds,it is clear that tornado got weaker but the spear got completely destroyed.

Nathan thinks,I expected that because his mana is superior to mine and that tornado is combination of two spells.

I thought I would do more but I may have over estimated myself,so now it's time for the continuation of 237th possibility.

Thinking that,he releases green flare into the air. Suddenly many assassins wearing a mask appears and attacks that tornado using their spells.

Within a 10 seconds,that weakened tornado gets destroyed and then all those assassins attack Eldon simultaneously, before he could know what's happening.

Eldon blocks those attacks with his wind shield but before he could react Nathan appears infront of him with his sword and attacks Eldon using the combination of spear of fire and sword thrust.

As a result,the wind shield gets destroyed and Eldon was sent flying few meters.

Before Eldon could cast a spell, all the assassins and Nathan cast their best spells using their maximum amount of mana.

After casting the spell, Nathan thinks,I would never let you go Eldon because by killing you not only I would let my identity remain secret but also I would complete 20% of my 2nd part of plan of taking over this empire and most importantly you have killed all the members of my 1st shadow killers squad,so revenge was inevitable.
