After the combined attack of both, assassins and Nathan,dust was accumulated around Eldon. Nathan orders those assassins to be on guard and to replenish thier mana.
Suddenly, dust was cleared and Nathan sees thousands of wind swords,all pointed directly at Nathan. Before he could react, all those wind swords directly attacks Nathan.
Due to the combined attack, Eldon was wounded sevearly and he lost his arm, while protecting those 2 bodyguards.
Eldon was laughing like a maniac,I accept that I have underestimated you because I didn't thought that you would know the relation between me and these 2 body guards.
But still,I will be the winner because,this 7th rank spell can even seriously injure an 8th class grandmaster because I have combined this spell with the magical artifact which amplifies the power of the spell exponentially.
Nathan was dodging and blocking those wind swords with greater difficulty using all of his remaining mana.
While dodging,he orders everyone to stay back because he understood that even 6th class swordsmen can't even block no more than 5 swords and there are only three 6th class warriors present in them.
So,all of those assassins hesitantly stay back. Nathan tried to run away from there but those swords kept on following. Those 6th class warriors couldn't control themselves and goes infront of Nathan to protect him and to block those sword.
But,as predicted by Nathan they could not block few attacks and they were thrown far away. After this, Nathan uses his full mana to strengthen his body,so his movements became faster.
But still, most of those swords kept on injuring him. This goes on for 5 minutes and Nathan was exhausted at that point and suddenly one of those swords impales his left hand interrupting his movement and in the next second many swords directly stabs Nathan before even he could react because of his exhaustion.
Due to this, blood gushes out of Nathan and he drops to the floor lifeless. Seeing this,all the assassins were in rage so all of them goes towards Eldon to kill him.
But before that, Eldon also drops to the ground lifeless due to sevear injuries and excess use of his mana and artifact.
Assassins were so angry that they cut Eldon into pieces. One of them says,we couldn't able to protect our master so after killing those two body guards let's die together.
Everybody was in favour of this plan ,so they proceed to do it. Before they could even move Nathan stands and says don't you dare to touch them.
Seeing Nathan, every body was shocked and one of them asks, master how are you even alive with that number holes in your body.
Nathan, with a puzzled face asks what are you even talking about,then he sees his own body. There were more than 50 holes made by the attacks of those wind swords alone on his body.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Nathan screams, what's happening here, how am I alive. Suddenly a white light appears in all those holes and in the next second his body starts to regenerate and all his injuries gets healed.
Suddenly, Nathan again faints and drops to the ground.
Nathan sees the same women carved on the tree and this time she was made of only white colour.
After few seconds that white coloured tree women starts to disappear and slowly, piercing that white light,a black coloured flame starts to manifest.
Suddenly Nathan woke up in his room wondering what was all that. A nurse besides him runs away from there as quickly as possible and informs healer and commander Halbert about Nathan waking up.
They both, quickly comes to Nathan's room and ask how he was feeling. Nathan asks, what's happening, suddenly he remembers how he was struck by Eldon's attack and then how his body got regenerated.
Nathan asks,how....how is this possible,how would I not die after that attack. Halbert asks, shouldn't we the one's who should ask you that question.
Then they both look at the healer. Healer says,"wait how should I know about that,when I came hear to examine him,he was already healthy without even a scratch on him".
Nathan remembers something and sends healer away. He says, Halbert listen to me carefully,send our best team to the ruins in the alphine forest where I have got sevearly injured few years ago and I want every drawing and every word in that ruin.
Seeing Nathan this serious, Halbert sends their best team to the alphine forest. After the team was sent, Halbert asks Nathan,can you tell me now, what's going on with you.
Nathan tells,all those things that happened to him in that ruins and how he ate that white coloured seed.
Nathan says,that wind mage Eldon told me that the seed can heal any serious injury but I didn't believe him because I got many injuries past few years after eating that seed but no injury got healed.
But,I think that guy got it wrong because I think it doesn't heal but it gets triggered after its host dies and then it brings one back to life. Hearing this, Halbert was shocked and says how could this be possible.
Nathan says,I don't know but it is the only possible explanation because that seed triggered only after I died by the attack of Eldon.
Wait wait,I think I died in those ruins too but this seed brought me back to life. Halbert with shocked expression asks,does it means, you are an immortal not now.
Nathan laughs,if that were true then there would be nobody who could fight against me but I think it's not that simple because when you went to send the team I observed changes in my body.
I found a swirling blackhole like thing inside my abdomen which was not present until today. That's why I stopped, otherwise I would have killed my self to find that if I am immortal or not.
Halbert sighs and says,I knew you were crazy, but killing yourself, is even out of the boundary of craziness. I think we should know more information about that black hole before taking any action.
Nathan says,yes you are correct. So forget this thing for now,any interesting thing happened after I left the capital.
Halbert says, everything is going according to our plan, because most of the families came to our side and even though some are not in support but we can be assured that they won't oppose us.
Most important thing is elder son of emperor or 2nd prince of our empire, Dustin will be arriving today evening here to meet you.
Nathan with puzzled expression asks, wait isn't it third prince who should be coming here. Halbert replies,no Dustin will be coming here instead of 3rd prince Cromwell and that is the order of the emperor.
Nathan with smile says, interesting, so emperor made his move. Well I am prepared for that. Is there anything else.
Halbert says,Yes I almost forgot. The wife of the Duke wanted to exchange some information for her and her children's life
Nathan says,then let's go. Halbert replies,I thought you'd first meet your mother after you came back because you didn't meet her after you killed ludwin.
Nathan replies, don't worry about her and yaa I forgot to tell you, she's not my birth mother but treat her like she is my real mother.
