nA huge lineal hole in the road in front of the auction house was left behind, severed body members and the weeping sounds of people suffering combined with the blood-stained earth and the unmistakable smell of iron in the air, that was the actual scene in front of Wieland Kraft something that would normally be seen after a bloody battle between two strong bands… a slaughter”.

nWhile the old mas was still trying to process what just happened, he couldn’t avoid to think that he should have stopped the Rein family from doing anything.

nLet’s rewind the situation to fifteen minutes before this moment.

nAster and the girls left the auction house and just as he expected outside there was a “welcome party” of people from the Rein family waiting for them, he saw Kail clearly standing on the side of the road to mark a distance with the rest of them while Kray and the elder Kurt were the ones leading the others.

nKray had cold smile on his face, he waited outside of the auction house seeing all the guests from the VIP rooms leave and he recognized each one of them, at this point he already got informed that the ones in the room number 1 were wearing masks so they were still outside until a moment ago.

n“Well, if it isn’t the fellow from the room 1, would you not consider selling me that sword and the black star iron, I promise to give you an amazing deal… your lives in exchange of the items what do you say?”.

nBut Kray wasn’t the only one making irrational demands, the lackeys from the Rein family opened path for their young miss.

n“I also want that pendant big brother, and that vulgar asshole’s tongue, it will serve him right as a reminder to know he shouldn’t mess with some people”, she said.

nKray shrugged.

n“You heard her, I will also be taking that pendant and your tongue you can only blame yourself for being disrespectful”, he then directed to the two girls accompanying the masked guy and his tone changed to a polite one.

n“You girls should pick your friends more carefully, how about you come with me to my mansion to drink some tea?”.

nLilia frowned her face behind her mask, insulting her precious son in front of her was the same as buying a one-way ticket to hell, but when she was about to send them all to the yellow river Aster extended his hand in front of her while shaking his head.

n“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it”.

nLilia nodded and took a stepped back to enjoy the show.

nAster turned to see all the Rein family members before smiling behind his mask and saying.

n“Those who wish to be able to sleep again, get out of my way…”.

nAfter a couple of seconds of silence, the people of the Rein family laughed while maintaining those ridiculing smiles on their faces but Wieland Kraft who was observing the situation suddenly felt his senses as an experienced veteran telling him just one thing… “RUN AWAY!!!”, he tried to step in to calm the situation but it was already too late.

nWieland rose his head and his eyes widened from the shock, he saw a couple of giant skeletal arms who seemed to be burning in golden flames appear out of thin air, the boy in the mask pointed his hand at the Rein family bunch and then the nightmare started.

nThe pair of arms moved incredibly fast and they began to beat up anyone who was in front of the masked young man, but that was not what made him shiver, but the fact that all those whose bodies were touched by the skeleton arms began to fall apart, while pained screams started to sound, those sounds were quickly suffocated as the ones emitting them fainted.

nSeeing the hellish scene Kray felt his soul almost leaving his body, since he wasn’t as confident as he tried to look, he used the defensive talismans he bought on the auction beforehand just to be prepared in case something happened, unfortunately in front of the enemy he was facing, that layer of defense seemed to be inexistent as it was practically ignored by his attack.

nIn fact, if not for the elder Kurt who burned his blood essence to temporarily augment his speed, he would have dissolved into a blood puddle just like it was happening to his subordinates.

nSpeaking of the elder Kurt, on his hurry to save Kray he wasn’t careful enough to avoid the arms and his right arm got in contact for a second with the golden flames and although he tried his best to get rid of the flames, they simply seemed to devour his spirit energy until he had no other choice to use his sword to cut off his own arm before taking his young master who was pale as paper and fleeing terrified.

nKayla was lucky enough to be standing far from the first impact point and when she reacted, she threw herself to the ground while tears and mucus filled her face, repeating over and over again “sorry, sorry, I’ll do whatever you want but don’t kill me!!!”.

nBut the most surprised one on the scene was none other than… Aster, he got the idea to add a thin layer of annihilation to the manifestation of the paragon body, since it was also a “part” of him then it shouldn’t be affected by it and he was right, the only problem was that annihilation worked too well.

nHe heard Rya’s beautiful laugh in his head.

n“Hahaha, I told you annihilation reacts to your emotions, looks like you are quite possessive with those two so even if you were not trying to unleash a living hell, internally you wanted to make them pay for hitting on your girls ♥”.

nHe finally understood why did things got a bit out of hands, but since there was nothing he could do about it, then he shrugged “it’s not like they didn’t deserve being punished and I bet they would have nightmares for a long time hahaha”.

nAster looked at all the Rein family lackeys that were abandoned by Kray and the now probably traumatized Kayla who was mumbling some incoherencies and he nodded while cancelling the manifestation of the paragon body.

n“Let’s go”, he put his arms around Lilia and Alice’s waists and started walking until they left Ghaleria before Lilia transported them back to the castle.

nOnce they left Kail finally managed to regain some composure, seeing the subordinates of his brother who were still suffering on the ground and his arrogant and despotic big sister still kneeling in the ground crying he internally let out a sigh of relief, “I was right… it’s better to be in the hands of the devil than on its way”.

nKail hurried to take Kayla with him and left the scene, he didn’t do it out of filial love or anything but once his father found out about all this and if someone told him that he left his sister and escaped then he will be punished.

nWieland was still trying to discern what the hell happened in front of him but after some time he only ordered the guards to not let anyone enter and closed the auction house, he went to his office and contacted the patriarch of the Kraft family to inform everything that happened and discuss the possible repercussions this might cause in the near future.

nAnd he was not the only one, the Asher family also witnessed the slaughter that took place a moment ago and the old Egil also contacted his brother to tell him what has happened, the Reins took a heavy blow on their reputation and on their numbers too since Kurt Rein lost an arm and burned his blood essence, he will probably have his cultivation realm reduced.

nEvery star constellation realm elder was part of the main force of the big families so there will be some changes happening on the properties that the Rein family hold and the opportunity was open for any of the other three families.

nThis will be a day that nor the Rein family or the people from the azure sky planet will ever forget, Aster didn’t know it but since that moment and onwards the people from Ghaleria started to believe in an entity which they called “The golden reaper”.

nIts legend will be passed on from one generation to other, “if the golden reaper asks you to open a way for it then you better oblige because if you don’t… with only a slight touch of its skeletal hands your body will corrode until nothing remains”.
