Chapter 225: Execution
Valley of the Dead, Camp.
In the tent, Viscount Carson was practicing the Knight’s secret manual.
At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the shadow in the corner of the tent. “Who’s there!?”
“Who’s there!?”
As he spoke, he vigilantly grabbed the cross sword on the side.
Although there was only an empty shadow, the Knight’s five senses clearly told him that there was something there, but he could not see it.
“It’s me!” A soft voice sounded.
In the shadow, a figure quietly appeared. He had a black cloak, black hair, and a dark red greatsword behind him. It was Heath.
Viscount Carson’s pupils contracted slightly.
“It’s you!”
Heath looked at Viscount Carson. “Why? Are you surprised to see me, Viscount?”
Hearing this, Viscount Carson realized that he had lost his composure.
He quickly covered it up and said, “Ha… you misunderstand, Sir Wizard.”
Although there was a smile on his lips, the hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter.
“I was rude just now, but I didn’t expect you to come to visit me in the middle of the night. So the mission of the Twilight Ruins is…” Clang!
Just as he said this, he suddenly pulled out the cross-shaped sword without any warning and slashed at Heath.
This sword came very suddenly. A bright silver light suddenly exploded in the tent, and the cross-shaped sword pounced on Heath’s face like a bolt of lightning.
It was about to cut Heath in half, but at this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed in front of Heath and formed a shield to block his way.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing.
The heavy cross-shaped sword did not move at all on the Mimicry Shield, not even the slightest ripple was stirred up.
Viscount Carson’s expression changed. He quickly turned around and left. At the same time, he opened his mouth and shouted, “Come…”
Before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped.
It was as if a large hand had suddenly covered him and firmly held him. Viscount Carson’s entire body was frozen in the air, and his open mouth was completely frozen.
Heath walked over with a smile that was not a smile. “Viscount, is this how you welcome me?”
Viscount Carson wanted to say something, but his mouth was controlled and he could not open his mouth. He could only keep rolling his eyes to signal to Heath.
Heath let go of his control over his mouth.
Viscount Carson quickly begged for mercy, “It was Young Master Winston, it was Young Master Winston who asked me to do it. Sir Wizard, I did not mean to target you, I was just obeying orders. Please spare me, please spare me.”
Good guy, it was really this guy!
Although he had already guessed this possibility from the Knight’s soul, Heath still found it difficult to accept the real answer from Viscount Carson.
Was he really going to kill him just because he did not accept his offer? Even for a second-generation, this was a little too overbearing, right?
He narrowed his eyes. “Is that so? Then why did he want to harm me?”
Viscount Carson said, “I… I don’t know… The order I received was to get rid of you. The Young Master’s exact words were, to get rid of you.”
Get rid of?
This word was really used casually.
Heath nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
At this point, he did not stand on ceremony. He raised his right hand and slowly tightened the net. Following his movements, Viscount Carson’s neck also seemed to be strangled by a hand. Step by step, it shrunk, distorted, and deformed.
The Viscount’s entire face was rapidly turning red and purple because he could not breathe. Veins popped up on his forehead.
Crack!
Viscount Carson’s relatively strong neck was twisted and broken from the middle. His two eyes bulged out for a moment, and then his head leaned to one side without making any sound.
Plop! Viscount Carson’s body fell to the ground.
After dealing with Viscount Carson, Heath stood there and pondered for a while. He thought that the dispute with Winston was over, but he never thought that this second-generation heir would secretly send assassins to assassinate him.
‘I’ve really underestimated the tyranny of these second-generation heirs…’
Following that, Heath carried out the extraction on Viscount Carson as usual.
After all, he was an advanced-level Knight, so he could more or less extract some valuable things from his body.
Strength, agility, and vitality were all increased by 0.1. Apart from that, he also obtained a portion of soul power and a piece of military-related knowledge. He also obtained other sword techniques and battle aura secret manuals.
After completing the extraction, Viscount Carson did not have much value left. Next, he had to deal with the corpse. However, he still had to think carefully about this problem. After all, he was a high-level military officer… It wouldn’t make sense for him to disappear for no reason.
“Heath!”
At this moment, Nina’s shout came from the spiritual sea. After being refined into a Wizard tool by Heath, Heath immediately left his spiritual imprint on the Wizard tool to facilitate Nina to contact him.
Heath asked, “What?”
Nina said, “Did you take care of that human?”
The tool spirit knew nothing about the situation outside of the Wizard tool. Without Heath’s consent, the tool spirit could not leave the Wizard tool.
Heath said, “I just took care of him.”
Nina said, “Can you give me his soul? I feel that his soul is very delicious.”
The tool spirit ate soul material, and the powerful soul was also a great tonic for them. Not only was it delicious, but it could also strengthen the tool spirit to a certain extent.
Heath raised his hand and released Nina. He then cast a soul-searching spell and pulled Viscount Carson’s soul out of his body.
“You… What are you doing? You evil Wizard… Ah!”
The panicked Viscount Carson pointed at Heath and wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, Nina had already pounced on him and opened her mouth to feast on Viscount Carson.
Although Viscount Carson’s soul was slightly stronger, it was only comparable to an ordinary person. In front of a Wizard-level spirit like a tool spirit, it was not worth mentioning.
“Ah!!!”
For a moment, one could only hear a series of hysterical screams. Nina ate Viscount Carson one bite at a time.
Heath, who was standing at the side, could not help but observe this scene in detail.
Although soul lifeforms were not rare in the Wizard World, it was rare to see a soul that retained its complete intelligence and could still grow. Wizards who had the opportunity to raise such soul lifeforms were even rarer.
Now that he had such a rare opportunity, of course, he had to study it carefully. This was a rare opportunity to increase his knowledge of the soul.
While observing Nina, Heath took out a small notebook from his dimensional pocket and started to make notes.
Just as he was about to make further observations, a commotion suddenly came from outside the tent…
