After saying his past, Azrael paused. Then, he looked at those three ladies, tied with the iron pillar in the spear's domain. Those three of them looked very old, shabby, and worn-out, as if swallowed by the ravages of time.
Seeing them in that dire situation, he smiled. Then, he continued,
"Oh, I almost forgot that, in this state you three can't even talk right now. But, I'm not cruel like you girls. So, in my opinion, this is enough to torture you. I am cancelling this effect now. Although you all can't return in your normal form for sometimes, but at least you can be able to talk by then..."
After that, he closed his eyes. Gradually, his spine began to feel chills. Sweat began to appear on his forehead. His legs and hands began to tremble. Actually, he used a trick which he learned when the spear was dull at his home. As in this initial stage he couldn't control the spear's presence by his own will, through that trick, he could make the spear feel danger around him. As a result, within a second, the spear appeared in front of him.
The moment it appeared before him, the whole 'Absolute Zero' effect was nullified.
All of them gradually appeared at that spot from where they transmigrated into that domain. It was that waiting room of Azrael's office.
Even though Azrael was normal at that time, rest three of them was unconscious by then. After sometimes, they came back in their senses.
"I want a clarification seriously. Not even a full week has passed since that incident occurred. Then how come you can unravel my identities? Moreover, what are you searching actually, the spear or the seed?" The moment, they opened their eyes, Azrael straight asked them.
"We're not obliged to answer your question. If you don't give us the spear, the consequences will be horrible..." Alexa somehow spoke at that moment.
Hearing that, he exhaled slowly, almost disappointed.
"Then, die here..."
The words fell into the room like a verdict already carved in stone
He gradually stood up from his armchair with a composed manner. Slowly and silently, his hand slipped into his pocket and when it emerged, it carried a a nine millimeter twenty-four carat gold metallic pistol. It was glinting faintly under the dim light, cold and immaculate.
He slowly loaded his gun with bullets and aimed his gun at them.
At that moment, for the very last time, he observed their expressions, not for mercy, but for truth.
But there was nothing. Nobody was ready to tell him the truths. Only a deep silence was in their face.
Only fear yet a stubborn refusal was clearly shown in Monica's face. Rest two was in no position to open their mouth.
Seeing that, a final faint sigh escaped him, filled with anger and clarity.
Within a second, the trigger moved.
'Bang... Bang... Bang...'
The shots shattered the silence like thunder trapped in a coffin. Three bullets tore through flesh and bone. His aim was extremely precise and accurate.
Their bodies collapsed on the ground. The room fell still again, but it was a different kind of silence now... heavier, suffocating, and absolute.
Surprisingly, after their death, within a few moments, their bodies were slowly transformed into dust and scattered into the air. Nothing of them, not even any of their remnant was there in the room.
He became very stunned to see that, perhaps this was the result of being supernatural in this world. Like them, maybe everyone who would get powerful from seeds, wouldn't even got proper burials. Perhaps, after death, this would happen to everyone.
While sinking into deep thought, he left the office.
Although he acted like a rude, ruthless one, but from inside, he was too much scared, thinking that his identities had been revealed so soon. At that time, while leaving from the office, he thought of one thing. Maybe he wasn't revealed, rather the spear's location had been revealed, as no concealment had been done on it. That's why, when they tracked the spear and found out that he himself was the owner of that spear, they kind of ignored that fact and didn't prepare anything at all to defend him, thinking that he will be so dumb to fell on their trap.
So, he decided to act alone to solve this matter as soon as possible.
He himself drove his care and reached into a cheap motel beside his apartment, as he didn't feel safe at his room at that time.
When he entered into that motel, he saw only an old man was sitting at the reception.
"Hello uncle, can I get a room for two hours?" He asked that old man.
"Will cost four zen." The old man replied.
In that city, the financial currency system was divided into five categories. The lowest currencies are the glass coins, named as 'Zen'. Then came the silver coins, named as 'Ana'. Then came the gold coins, named as 'Dolar'. Then came the diamond plated cards, named as 'Quark'. And now the last but the richest currency in the city was a golden-black colored card, named as 'Planck'. Only a few topmost officials in the headquarter had that Planck card.
After doing all the payments, he got one room for him.
At the 1st floor, he entered the room.
After entering the room, within a second, he closed all the windows and the door, so that nobody could even notice his activities.
Then, he gradually closed his eyes and again use that trick to make appear the spear.
After a few seconds, it appeared before him.
With his eyes still closed, he began to stroke the spear with intimacy and care, as if he was showing his love to it.
Gradually, multiple black-and-white colored runes began to come out from the surface of the spear.
At that moment, suddenly, the memory of waking up after that expedition flashed through his mind.
One Week Ago,
When he opened his eyes, he was totally stunned, surprised, and amazed of his experience of what happened in the forest. At first, he thought everything was nothing but only his dream. But very soon that confusion was disappeared when he saw that spear was lied beside him.
Seeing that thing, he was so scared that he jumped out of his bed.
But then, suddenly a thought clicked on his mind. Why someone who hadn't know him, neither hadn't meet him at all, suddenly gave him that precious thing out of nowhere, just because he was assisted them, when he didn't even do any noticeable work!
While thinking that, he felt an unknown terror in his body.
However, he had no time to dwell on such matters. So, without another thought, and trembling all over, he touched the spear with his quivering palm.
Nothing happened.
He then grabbed it tightly.
Still nothing happened.
Now he leaned over it and began to observe the intricacy and designs on the surface of it. The spear was filled with countless tiny sea-blue waves, crafted with great precision and skill. In many spot of it's surface, the figures of unknown sea-creatures, mermaids, and fishermen were carved with exceptional craftsmanship. The tip of the spear was so sharp as if it can cut the sky so easily.
He became so engrossed in that weaving that, gradually, he began to run his hand along the shaft of the spear. In the process of stroking it, one of his fingers slid right onto the sharp tip.
In that very instant, the finger grazed against the pointed edge and was cut.
A drop of blood from hig finger merged with the spear without his knowledge.
Within a second, it lit up.
Shivering with fear, he recoiled backward.
Right at that moment, suddenly, a wisp of light entered into his forehead from the spear.
He sank to the ground. In that instant, his eyes automatically closed and he found himself into an dark boundless place. That place was filled with pitch-dark atmosphere and it had neither beginning nor any end.
Only a strand of light was shimmering in front of him.
He was so terrified from the very beginning that, upon seeing this, he recoiled in fear, screamed, turned around, and fled.
However, he could not go very far. Whichever way he went, he kept circling back to that very spot.
Again and again...
Eventually, exhausted, he sat down in one spot.
At that moment, suddenly the wisp of light was scattered and from that wisp, multiple golden colored letters like runes started circling around him.
Gradually, those runes were absorbed into his mind, and with that, he returned into the real world. He was stunned but inside him, a joy began to spread across his mind and body. He learnt many things from the spear.
The name of the spear was Blue Devil Spear. It was one of the strongest 'S' grade magical items whose power was divided into three levels. Man, Heaven, and Immortal Level. In Man level, It could shatter any unrealistic or illogical phenomenons. User could use its evolution technique, 'Absolute Zero' at such a lower level. At this level, the user couldn't control it's timings of presence. In Heaven level, with increasing the previous qualities up to 20%, user could now control the spear's presence. In addition, now the spear could control the surroundings' weather and temperature into absolute zero level up to 1 km area. In immortal level, previous powers' would boost up to 100-120% and the affected area would boost up to 100 km. In addition, now the spear could transform into any kinds of things of user. With that, it could now shatter the dimensions, spaces, or any kinds of calamities. Although, it had a side effect, which was after using it repetitively, user couldn't feel any kind of emotions except extreme cold, and extreme fury.
Besides that, he also absorbed that trick through which he could summon the spear even if he couldn't control it...
At the Present time,
The moment black-and-white colored runes appeared before him, he began to absorb those runes. However, at first those runes were nothing new, same informations, same letters... Then he realised that those runes were layered. If he had to find the right informations, he had to go through layer by layer.
He did so.
He let his mind flow through the layers slowly.
At that moment, his eyes fell upon a piece of information, hiding in a layer...
