Captain Akazawa was on top of a horse as it moved within the forest full of trees with a high speed. While he was moving, he remembered the conversation he held with Saito, "I hope that the gamble pays off…"
The horse continued to gallop as it left the forest and entered the Northern Wastelands. The wolves that he was supposed to hunt were very close to the forest. They seemed to live on the outskirts of the forest.
The reason they lived here instead of within the forest was because their species, the Storm Wolves got stronger from being struck by the real thunder from the heavens.
It was a mysterious area where the chances of being hit by the thunder were very high. It was unknown why the same wasn't present in the forest but with the presence of the trees, it would be rare to be hit by the thunder.
This was the reason why the Storm Wolves lived within the area with open skies. Of course, they would enter the forest to hunt and return back after they were done hunting.
Right now, these wolves seemed to be within the wastelands right after a hunting session. As soon as Captain Akazawa noticed them, he changed the direction in which he was moving and started to move towards these wolves.
The wolves noticed him approaching them on top of the horse. They readied their bodies and appeared to be waiting for him to get close to pounce on him and kill him.
Captain Akazawa seemed to be in high morale as he shouted, "Haaaah!" He swung his sword as soon as he was close enough and managed to take out the eye of one of the wolves which had pounced upon him.
Even though he was able to take out one of the wolves. There were two more which had jumped towards him, they managed to push him down from the horse.
Captain Akazawa still didn't seem to give up as he was forced against the ground by two Storm Wolves. He let out a shout, "I won't DIE HERE!"
He punched the abdomen of one of the wolves as he said that and threw it far away. The other wolf growled and bit his arm.
Captain Akazawa let out a scream in pain, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…. Stay away, filthy beasts!" he punched the other wolf atop of him.
The wolf let go of his arm as the blood rushed out of his arm. He felt extremely weak in that arm and analysed that he wouldn't be able to make use of this arm anymore.
He gritted his teeth as he let out a scream before he charged towards the Storm Wolves. One of the wolves certainly seemed intelligent, it remained far out of the reach of Captain Akazawa.
There was a blue colored lightning glittering within his mouth. It formed a small sphere which seemed to contain a lot of magic power.
Akazawa noticed this with his great eyesight. He thought within his head 'Calm down… Everything would be alright if I do just as Axel asked me to do.'
His left arm was motionless. He didn't try to move it as the Storm Wolves moved away from Akazawa.
They knew that the charge was completed and the Storm Wolf was about to fire it now. Akazawa pulled out his second sword from its scabbard.
Just before the wolf was about to throw the lightning at Akazawa. Akazawa brought down his great sword with incredible strength and speed, "Superior Impact!"
As soon as the sword landed on the ground, a great amount of dust started to fly in the air. It seemed as though it was an attempt to lower the accuracy of the Storm Wolf as it fired off its Thunderbolt which had been completely charged.
As the Thunderbolt moved within the dust cloud, there was a loud scream, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....." Before a loud thud sound was heard as if a great body dropped to the ground.
The dust soon settled down and revealed a body which had been completely charred by the 10,000 Volts of Lightning. The Wolves didn't care how charred the body was and started to eat it.
From afar, there was a young man who saw all this happening. He had a relaxed expression as he let out a sigh, "Ah… That man really did a suicide rush. That last desperate attack… It seemed as though he really planned to complete the mission. This is the result of the fool who didn't try to think with his own brain."
He seemed to have been waiting at his location for a long time and his shoulders were stiff, "Crown Prince really gave me a strange mission. Well not that I care, it's basically free money for me anyways."
He jumped down from the tree on which he was standing and started his return journey towards the palace. What he failed to notice was Saito flying high in the air with Captain Akazawa in his hands.
As he looked at the guy returning back to inform the crown prince that the mission is completed, Saito calmly said to Captain Akazawa, "Congratulations Akazawa, you are dead now."
There was a relieved look on his face as he heard that, "Thank you… Thank you for saving me."
However, Saito unexpectedly shook his head, "This isn't over yet. This is just the start. I believe you remember my words that if I help you survive this then you will become my slave. Because if you have other ideas then I can drop you from this altitude."
There was no surprise on the face of Akazawa as he said, "It's not like I have any other choice now. Can I meet my family?"
His question was within his expectations. Saito still had some plans for his daughter so he wasn't obviously going to let her escape the palm of his hand before taking some advantage of hers.
He answered him with a calm tone, "Not now. I will bring your wife to meet up with you in a week. You absolutely can't appear within the city in this one week since that would make this death useless and you would really have to die."
"Alright. I understand." Akazawa seemed like an understanding person. He knew that it would be hard to live within the city while hiding himself. He would have to leave for the nearest village to the city of Zleka and live there for some time.
Saito continued to speak, "I won't be able to bring your daughter with me. With your death, the Crown Prince is sure to place some men to investigate the reactions of your family. If both of them disappears after your death then it would be revealed that you are still alive."
The way he was planning ahead and anticipating the Crown Prince's moves really shocked Akazawa. It made him think 'Just where have I trapped myself. It's like I am trapped within this game between Crown Prince and Sir Axel. If Crown Prince finds me then he wins and if Sir Axel manages to successfully hide me then he wins. I must have done some very bad deeds to be caught in such a predicament.'
The ploy Saito had used to fool the Crown Prince was very good. The gambling that he was talking about before… Saito asked Akazawa to gamble away his life. If the Crown Prince had assigned an Assassin behind Akazawa, then he was on his own. There was no saving him and he was to die.
However, if it was a mercenary assigned to verify his death then there was a way to save him. When Akazawa had struck down the ground using his great sword. Its purpose was to make a giant dust cloud.
The reason he was told to make the dust cloud right before the Lightning Attack was so that Saito could slip inside the dust loud and pick him up.
He had also pulled out a body from the graveyard of the city. After digging out the body, he once again arranged it back in such a manner with which nobody could tell the difference if they didn't dig it.
By burning the body with his Black Lightning and making it completely unrecognizable.. He substituted the body with Akazawa's body and flew high in the sky.
