"Eh, what?" Hanma looked at the killing intent of Aur that was emitting from him with a stunned expression.
"Don't think you can fool me, old man. Tell me what happened after that, or I will not spare you," Aur spoke resolutely.
"Will you let me go if I tell you the story?" Hanma's voice became calm as he looked at Aur with an indifferent gaze.
"That depends on whether you have spoken the truth or not," he shrugged casually, "and I might free you."
"You..."
"I don't think you can negotiate with me, old man," Aur calmly spoke while meeting his gaze and his killing intent erupting again.
He has killed so many people that his killing intent has finally formed, and they were all strong, so the quality of his killing intent wasn't bad.
But for Hanma, this was child's play for a rogue wizard. They needed to step on countless corpses to even advance a step further.
And he was once called the king of rogue wizards with a chance to enter the lord rank. He was a Tier four wizard, and the number of corpses he has killed is in the millions.
So he wasn't afraid. However, Aur's logic made sense; he was a helpless old man who could be murdered by him at every turn.
He needed time to recover some of his mana if he wanted to kill this brat.
"Fine," Hanma said with a resigned sigh escaping his lips.
"After the black-haired man faced off against the previous village leader, there wasn't any talk. The lord instantly moved and captured him under the power of a tier four wizard, even though I was helplessly against him, not to mention your previous village leader."
"And then not much was spoken, but the man revealed that he was the escapee from the top overlord sect of the Roshaar kingdom. That is all. While he imprisoned me here, the man started to live in seclusion in the village."
"Oh?" Aur's eyes narrowed.
"What is the sect's name?"
Suddenly, Hanma heard the sonic boom as if the very fabric of reality seemed to be torn.
His pupils dilated as he looked at the fist which was enlarging in front of him.
Before he could even react, the searing pain came as he looked at Aur one last time with trepidation.
"Why?"
This was the last word he could utter before his death, turning into blood mist.
A peak Tier three wizard who has grown from the mountain of corpses as the king of rogues has finally died a miserable death, turning into just pitiful blood mist.
"Did you think I wouldn't notice that you were slowly gathering mana?" Aur sneered.
Others might not be able to sense it, but he could clearly see the mana that was surrounding the place, which was in a misty form, and almost all the surrounding mist was gathering towards Hanma.
Even a fool could see that he was hostile.
Besides, even if he didn't see Hanma gathering mana, Aur would kill this man without hesitation.
He was a peak Tier three wizard, and the calculations he has done are not simple. If he was allowed to live, then the consequences of it would not be something Aur could handle.
Aur casually crouched down and searched for any valuables in the place, but after looking for a long time, he was disappointed.
There was nothing there, but this was within the expectation. After all, he had already been captured by a Tier four wizard. It would be surprising if there was anything to begin with.
As Aur looked around, he didn't find much here, just these strange chains, but looking at the chains, his eyes lit up.
His crimson pupil followed the mist surrounding the place and looked near the chain.
Whenever the mist passed by it, it would be instantly absorbed by it, making a hollow space surrounding the chain where there was no presence of mana.
"These chains can devour mana," Aur said, satisfied with his own gain.
