Heaven Destroyer

Chapter 81: Punishment

Ayaan hurriedly went to Rebecca and supported her before she could fall and cast a healing spell. It was a life element spell which Ayaan had learnt sometime before. Though it was just a sky rank spell, it was more than enough to heal Rebecca's wounds.

After just a minute later, her wounds healed. Although she was still weak due to the loss of blood. But she could easily recover in some time.

At this time, both Noor and Isobel arrived hurriedly beside Rebecca and asked in unison, "Sister Rebecca, are you alright?"

Rebecca smiled towards the duo and felt a warmth in her heart when she saw their worried faces, "I am alright. I think I will be able to heal in half a day."

Hearing Rebecca saying that both Noor and Isobel sighed in relief. But at this moment Isobel looked at Walter's corpse and said, "That bastard died an easy death. You should have tortured him before giving him a painful death."

"Easy death?" Ayaan looked at the Isobel and smiled cruelly, "You think I will let him die this easily? I am going to torture his soul before releasing him."

As he spoke, Ayaan turned towards the corpse before uttering, "Rise!"

After his shout, the corpse moved and stood up. Afterwards, he looked around in confusion, "Am I in heaven already?"

"Sorry. After looking at your ugly face, the guards of hell didn't let you enter," Ayaan heard the man's mumbling and couldn't help but sneer.

Walter turned around and saw Ayaan's group was standing not far away from him. His legs quivered after looking at Ayaan. He didn't know what was going on anymore. However, he knew he had to escape from this devil before thinking about anything else.

"Argh!"

Just as he turned around and tried to run away, a horrible pain appeared inside his head, making him scream with agony. After ten minutes later, the pain slowly disappeared. Then he turned towards Ayaan who was still glancing at him smilingly.

"What did you do to me!?" Walter looked at Ayaan fearfully. He didn't know what happened to him just now, but he was certain that it had something to do with Ayaan.

"Did you think you could die so easily after hurting my women?" Ayaan sneered and flicked his finger.

"Argh!"

Immediately, Walter gave a heart-wrenching scream and started to smash his head on the ground like a mad man. He couldn't take the pain; therefore, he tried to die by smashing his head on the ground. However, it only increased his pain. No matter what he tried, he couldn't die. His wounds gradually heal.

He knew that his healing power wasn't this good, but now his wounds were healing before they could kill him. It was some amazing power but for Walter, it was nothing but the power of the demon. Fear rose inside his heart. He knew he couldn't escape. So he went towards Ayaan and fell at his feet.

"Please, kill me. I don't want to feel that pain again. Please, kill me!" Walter begged Ayaan. He bowed so hard on the ground that his blood painted the ground red.

"You made a mistake and now you have to take the punishment for your wrongdoings. There is no escape." As he said he again activated his spell. Walter begged again and again until his voice became hoarse and then, there was no voice at all.

After torturing the man for an hour like this, Ayaan ended his life for good. He didn't look at the corpse again and walked towards the fifth level. It was good that no one was present except Walter. He was the only person with black talent. Therefore, only he could reach this level.

And those who arrived before him didn't remain there. Because everyone wanted to get their hands on some goodies. Otherwise, anyone would piss their pants after watching such a tragic way of dying.

Noor and Isobel didn't dare to speak for a long time after this incident. Furthermore, they were wondering how he was able to revive the man. There were some necromantic spells which could make undead after their death but they were nothing but soft zombies controlled by other people. It wasn't something like Ayaan did.

However, they didn't know that Ayaan had used a heaven rank spell undead rise. At first, Ayaan didn't have control over the spell; therefore, he could only command the undead he had revived through the spell. 

But as time passed, he became more proficient with the spell. Now, he could give back the will of the revived creatures. Just like what he did with Walter. However, he would still be able to control the creature or human he had revived through the spell.

Though the spell still had some weaknesses: the creature couldn't be way more powerful than the reviver or the user of the spell. At the moment, Ayaan was a sixth level great mage. So he could barely control the ninth level great mage because the power of the spell mostly depended on the soul power.

Other than this problem, there was one more problem with the spell. There must be a soul inside the corpse of the creature for its revival or it won't be possible to revive it. That was the reason Ayaan didn't devour Walter's soul or he wouldn't have been able to revive him for torturing him.

..

The group entered the forest. It was like any ordinary forest in the outside world but when Ayaan looked around his eyes widened in pleasant surprise.

"Soul flower!" Ayaan looked at the white flower in front of him and sprinted towards it. 

"Soul flower? Is it for strengthening the soul?" Noor asked while looking at the flower curiously.

Ayaan heard Noor and burst into a peal of laughter. Noor looked at him and pouted "Why are you laughing?"

"You think this flower is for strengthening soul just because it has the word "Soul". You are really clueless. Its name is soul-flower because it could seal the soul of the people. Even Archmage become vegetable after eating this flower." Ayaan explained to the ladies and carefully placed the flower inside his space ring.

All the three ladies left agape after hearing his explanation. They thought it was something which could increase soul power. Treasures like that were really rare and hard to come by. But Ayaan told them it was something akin to the poison that was disappointing.

Anyways, they didn't linger at the same place and moved forward. After getting his hands on the Soul flower, Ayaan found many medicines in the forest. He had become a potion maker for a long time; therefore, he wasn't an unskilled potion maker like before. Now, he could easily recognise any medicine.

Just as he was collecting the medicines jubilantly. The huge tiger walked out of the bushes. It looked at the Ayaan's group and growled towards them

Ayaan was able to tell that it was a second-level great mage magical beast. For him, it wasn't any threat but he didn't know if any more predators were hiding somewhere else.

"Roar!'

Finally, the tiger roared towards Ayaan and attacked him with his front claws. However, Ayaan easily dodged the attack. Afterwards, the tiger tried to bite him but Ayaan again dodged. 

"Dimension Slash!"

Ayaan used dimension slash and a huge silver blade cut the tiger in two pieces without any problem. But later, Ayaan thought it was a waste that he killed the tiger. If Noor or Isobel was able to kill the beast they would benefit greatly and their strength would have increased. 

Nonetheless, he knew that it wasn't only a great mage magical beast on the fourth level. There must be many more. He would let others kill them later when they encounter more magical beasts.

Just when Ayaan was thinking about how he should increase the strength of the ladies, a group of wolves appeared in front of them. Looking at the mob of the wolves, Ayaan grinned. 

"Protect Noor and Isobel. I will injure them and later Noor and Isobel could kill them one by one. After this you may reach the peak of the high mage or maybe great mage." he told Rebecca to protect the sisters and went to deal with the wolves himself.

"Howl!"

The pack of the wolves howled at Ayaan when he walked towards them. However, he wasn't intimidated by their number. He was looking at those wolves as if they were exp to level up.

The leader of the wolve's pack was at the fifth level of the great mage. It wasn't much of a threat to Ayaan and that was the reason he didn't think much about them.

As he walked towards the pack, he started to cast the spell. The leader of the pack looked at the Ayaan and howled towards him. After hearing the howl of the leader, every wolf sprinted towards Ayaan ferociously.

Looking at the sprinting wolves towards him, Ayaan grinned and cast an earth spike. In just a blink, tens of the wolves were hanging above the spikes. However, none of them died.

As the other members of the pack saw the situation, they changed their directions and started to escape. Every wolve in the pack was at the great mage and that's why they were rather intelligent. Though not as intelligent as humans. They were fairly aware of their condition at the moment.

However, Ayaan didn't have any intention to let any wolf escape. In his eyes, those wolves weren't creatures but the exp which could make Noor and Isobel a Great mage.
