Damned Necromancer: Lord of Madness

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Traces of perfection



" It's been three days and yet we have no lead on how to locate the princess, " the voice of the platoon general butcher hagan, the platoon general of the hydra platoon, who is seen dressed in his platoon general's uniform while seated on his horse calmly, sighed.

He is a tall and heavily muscular figure, white-bearded with white hair. The flag of the hydra platoon has been raised, signaling the presence of the vermax hydra platoon.

Beside him is captain rudeus of the crimson lion company!

The vermax empire has sent the hydra platoon and a military faction to track down the princess and to kill any demon who took her, since she belongs to the crimson lion company during the attack.

The hydra platoon is directed to handle this search, and platoon general butcher hagan has been directly ordered by the emperor to locate his daughter by all means, even if it means killing anyone.

" Platoon general butcher, i'm deeply sorry for my failures to find the princess before reporting the situation back to the empire and bringing her out into the fields, " captain rudeus spoke out.

" Why are you sorry? There's no reason to be... the princess chose you. You are quite lucky since a high noble chose a third-ranked company for that matter. Be calm... the princess will be found, " platoon general butcher stated.

" Thank you, platoon general butcher hagan, " captain rudeus said with a smile.

They heard the neighing sounds of an approaching horse. The horse halted, standing before platoon general butcher hagan. The horseman, a military officer, slowly dismounted.

" Platoon general butcher hagan, the sonic military faction is searching through all neighboring cities, towns, and villages, even around the free-city and outside of it at the same time, " the military officer spoke.

" I see... and still there are no valid informations concerning her whereabouts, huh? " platoon general butcher hagan asked as the military officer nodded negatively. He sighed calmly.

" The emperor has given me seven days to bring his daughter back to him alive. I know i've gotten lazy, but it seems we will have to up our game. The kidnapper is a female single-horned demon, right? Captain rudeus? " the platoon general asked.

" Yes, that's correct platoon general butcher hagan. The female single-horned demon appeared right out of nowhere after we killed the single marker demon. She created a five marker demon right from the heart of the dead marker demon. "

" Although i killed the five marker demon myself, the princess was far too gone. I don't know where the horned demon took her, but her battle suit hasn't gone completely silent, so it means she is still alive and breathing. We have to search every hell hole for her, " captain rudeus declared.

" Very well... i will make a move myself, " platoon general butcher hagan stated.

" Sir? " captain rudeus asked in shock.

" I personally do not care about the ranks between platoon generals or power, but i care about the princess since i was once her trainer. I will not let her be devoured by any demon of any kind, be it elemental or not. "

" Even if i must destroy a double-horned demon to save the princess, i will gladly do it with ease, " platoon general butcher hagan declared as he made his way. The hydra platoon began action.

The sonic military faction was in charge of the search operation in order to take all the glory if they rescued the princess themselves. But now, platoon general butcher hagan will be taking action.

To the rest of the world... the hydra platoon is known as the savages of the west!!

Excluding the three companies in the hydra platoon, the armies of platoon general butcher hagan are completely separate. They are the refined blood wyverns because of their chaos.

The hydra platoon has been the top platoon for years until recently, since platoon general butcher hagan became lazy. During his golden era, they slaughtered demons upon demons. Now, they are on their way to search for the princess themselves.

Meanwhile

" So we rested one more day before we left novelda city, huh? Why were you this lazy? " princess lily asked. They were seen both riding horses bought by rey castle as they were leaving.

" Lazy, huh? Well, i can't deny that, but working is stressful, " rey stated.

They had already made their way out of novelda city and were heading back toward the free-city in the desert. The scorching sun shone brightly upon them as the fierce desert wind blew heavily.

Their horses were riding in the desert without hesitation. They had already been fed and given water. Rey made sure he bought horses capable of running through the desert without stopping.

" Lazy brat, what are you going to do immediately when you find him? " princess lily asked.

" I will kill him after getting some information from him before granting him the mercy of death. I know you may wonder, 'is that how your uncle was killed, right?' He wasn't easy to kill since he was strong, " rey spoke out.

" Tell me... how did he die? " princess lily calmly asked while they were riding miles across the desert, her attention fixed on rey castle, who is also the infamous deathmaker of the north.

" It happened at night, though. I had just learned his name was named as my target. It was a special mission that only i possessed. Although he was a green core user, he was far stronger than i expected. "

" A green core user with the battle suit of a two-horned demon and his blade known as the cursed divider. His battle techniques and everything... it was formidable, and i struggled to fight him. "

" One could say i barely won, but i was only fifteen years old when i killed him, and he was thirty-five back then. It wasn't even a fair match-up to begin with, but what could one say? I'm an assassin after all, " rey said, smiling.

" Huh? Are you telling me if you were my uncle's age, you could kill him easily? " princess lily asked.

" Absolutely, " rey answered with a dark smile plastered on his face.

but the uncle adrian i know is a formidable warrior even when he was at your age so you can't underestimate him, you only killed him by chance but mine will be different."

"i won't have your head by chance but by my will power and my strength, you will beg me for mercy before i exact my vengeance upon you... it will be fun," princess lily said when rey busted out laughing.

"you think it's funny?" princess lily asked while frowning.

"yh, one can dream but could never achieve that in reality, you really do intend on killing me don't you?" rey asked when he whipped his horse, causing his horse to run faster and princess lily did the same.

"yes of course, i cried and mourned my uncle for a month while grieving, i vowed to kill the one who assassinated him and when i learnt that the deathmaker is the one responsible for my uncle's death."

"i vowed to kill you and trust me... i will kill you," princess lily answered.

"yh yh, i understand your motives but there are times when you could just give up cause there is no way you would win. let's stop here," rey spoke out when he stopped his horse without hesitation.

"huh? why are we stopping here?" princess lily asked.

"the free-city is currently partnering with the vermax empire to search for you, and based on those flags... the hydra platoon have now taken over, first was a military faction sent to locate you."

"but do you know the meaning of this right? the hydra platoon are ready to decimate cities while searching for you and thousands could die in the process, are you ready to have the blood of the innocent on your hands?" rey asked.

"huh? so what are you suggesting?" princess lily asked.

"return to the vermax empire and they will call off their search operation and many people won't have to die for something they don't know of. memphis zaichi is my target so i will take him out," rey said.

"hmph, it seems you have gotten a chance to get rid of me right? this is where we will be going our separate ways but trust me, i will chase you to the ends of the earth and i will be the one who gets to kill you," princess lily stated.

"he-he-he-he, then get strong to do that... but i doubt you would ever succeed but your death will be by my hands, be rest assured of that," rey stated when princess lily smiled calmly as she turned her horse.

heading towards the direction of the hydra platoon on search.

"it's a good thing she has left, i was worried about letting her watch me kill memphis zaichi, now i can freely act the way it pleases me," rey said when he grinned evilly, he is the deathmaker after all.

"the void, the mark of death... there are many things that i am yet to understand so i need to complete this mission and return back to the north," rey said when he brought out a tiny cubical object from his pocket.

"the completed battle suit of the single horned demon medrida, now it's time to merge it."

rey said when he put on his battle suit and connected the cubical object into a space in his battle suit and he felt raw powers, merging two battle suits in one and they were able to freely merge together.

"perfect... now i can control the element of lightning and wind with ease, assassination will now be easy," the deathmaker said when he frowned. he rode his horse while turning the other way.

he rode into the deep parts of the desert when he controlled the desert wind.

"memphis zaichi, take your time... this brat is coming to kill ya."
