Hero of Darkness Chapter 101: The First Heir

Chapter 101: The First Heir

Erwin Malfoy, the 28 years old heir and next successor to the clan head's position was a handsome man with long shoulder-length red hair. He was also an intermediate master rank swordsman.

His talent in swordsmans.h.i.+p had solidified his position in the clan among all the contenders and the clan had high hopes from him in the future. Anyone would be charmed to see this man and the women who didn't know of his deeds would see him as their prince charming at the first glance.

But to those who had seen this elegant man's cruelty four years ago would feel a s.h.i.+ver in their spine. This das.h.i.+ng man dressed in black aristocratic clothes was actually a wolf amongst sheep.

"Hey.. Do we really need to be on the security? What if he shows up?" asked a guard on duty under this heavy rainfall.

"Just do your d.a.m.n job! We must protect master Erwin. And I don't see the point in being afraid of that so-called vigilante. n.o.body has the guts to go against our Malfoy clan." replied another guard with a prideful expression on his face.

At this moment, 43 guards were patrolling around a big and a mile wider entertainment house. This place was one of the properties owned by the Malfoy n.o.ble clan, the 5th most powerful clan in Flavot city.

Inside this entertainment house, Erwin was enjoying alcohol made from some fragrant ingredients that had some tangy flavor to it. He was surrounded by two beautiful women who were sitting on both his sides and poured him even more booze.

Erwin was left in charge of handling this business along with few other small settlements. And since his reputation and his talent as a young master rank swordsman was widespread, n.o.body dared to cause trouble here.

"Ah!" the woman sitting beside Erwin let out a small moan as his right hand caressed and played around the inner parts of this loosely dressed courtesan's thighs.

"Young master.. You're being very naughty today." spoke the woman in a seductive tone as she pushed up her cleavage to the redhead man's arm and came closer to his ear and slowly nibbled his earlobe.

"Hey, not fair! Master Erwin is mine for tonight." complained the other woman who also dressed scantily and poured him another gla.s.s of alcohol.

"Don't you know, love only increases if you share it?" replied Erwin with a smug tone as he fondled the second woman's a.s.sets with his left hand and carried on their overly adulterous display.

Little did these people knew.. A hooded figure in dark grey clothes was hearing their words from a mile away. His eyes were extremely vigilant as if he was marking all the guard and security personnel around this establishment.

The thunder and heavy rainfall had already put a gloomy feeling to this night.

Thud! Thud!

The two guards who were previously talking on the eastern entrance of this building fell on the ground after black and pointy spear-like extensions pierced through their chest and throat. The sound of their bodies falling was m.u.f.fled by the heavy rain and n.o.body even noticed it.

Unlike how a normal a.s.sa.s.sin would choose to do things covertly.. This hooded figure had no intentions to do things silently.

This was none other than Azrael who had marked this clan's future head as his first target since this redhead man was one of the n.o.ble clan heirs who committed that heinous act four years ago.

Pitter! Patter!

Water dripped from Azrael's long dark grey clothes that gave him a similar look to the Grim Reaper. His loud footsteps quickly attracted the attention of hundreds of customers spread across this huge and wide main hall where they were escorted by beautiful females, varying from normal human females to elves and some females dressed in maid outfits with cat ears on their heads.

Azrael's sudden appearance had piqued their curiosity. Suddenly, a loud announcement filled this entire hall.

"Anyone who isn't from the Malfoy clan, leave now! Or I won't give you another chance before I kill anyone who remains!" bellowed Azrael.

"Hahaha. Who's this clown? He's ruined the good mood here." spoke one of the customers.

But the next second, a visible black and red aura completely filled the entire place with unimaginable pressure.

War Dominance!

Azrael released his War Dominance aura at full capacity and made hundreds of the people fall on their knees in a single second. The aura of a Grandmaster wasn't something normal people could take head-on.

He deactivated his aura and freed the people.

"Run! That's Azrael!" shouted one of the customers and started running towards the main exit.

"What? Azrael?!" gasped other people in surprise but didn't dwell in the hall anymore. His name alone had put the fear of G.o.d in their hearts.

Sooner, a huge commotion was caused inside this hall and on the upper floors as soon as Azrael's name was heard by the ma.s.ses. People ran in a hurry and almost shook the entire building with their loud and hasty footsteps alone. Some people even fell in their footsteps as the name of Azrael, the Adjudicator was something no one inside the city wanted to hear.

Although Azrael hadn't been active for the past few weeks, his name still had a huge weight to it.

"Who is it? A redhead and barechested man ran down from the stairs with an epic rank sword in his hand. Soon, all the guards who had noticed the commotions ran inside the main hall and noticed the hooded figure who was still standing in the center of this building.

"Erwin Malfoy.. Your penance is due." spoke Azrael in his grim and ghostly voice.

"Hahaha! Do you know who I am?" said the redhead man in a condescending tone.

"I do. And that's why I'm here." replied Azrael.

At this point, he was surrounded by more than forty guards that consisted mainly of swordsmen and a.s.sa.s.sins. But the Adjudicator had no hint of worry in his eyes.

He looked at all the people that remained inside the hall after his earlier warning. There were only those who were part of this clan and those who loyally worked for them left at this point.

"What are you waiting for?! Kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" ordered Erwin.

But without giving any chance to attack first, Azrael threw his fear toxin bombs and multiple bursts of white fog filled this entire hall in few seconds. Many could barely see what was in front of them because this fog was simply too dense.

But before all these people could recover from the surprise.. A majestic and ghastly voice fell on their ears.

"So then.. Shall we begin?"
