Chapter 9 The Attack 2

"I don't know why people call me an earth magician instead of a geo summoner," Goeth asked expecting Amon to say something but he didn't.

"Earth magician is lame" Goeth continued to ramble, "But do you think geo summoner is fancier than earth magician like comparing the two?" Goeth asked Amon again.

"I'm trying to concentrate on controlling my...."

"Your puppet" Goeth intercepted Amon with a deep laugh, "sorry I know that" Goeth kept laughing.

Amon glared at him.

"I don't think you know that" He mumbled quietly.

"Who knows if the guards would even let a dumb man from hell inside the hall, well I'd think Iselin would be stranded now" Goeth mocked.

" Earth magicians such idiots" Amon sighed.

"What did you just say?" Goeth snapped when he heard what Amon said.

"Will you just quit the joke," Amon said quietly.

"Oh please, I should be telling you that," Goeth said with a deep angered voice and the ground within them quaked when he stamped his leg unto it.

Amon lost balance due to the quake and at that point, he lost control of the puppet.

Inside the hall........

Iselin with her face covered was observing every scene in the hall, the Hokage was still talking and immediately the puppet man with her collapsed.

"Oh, what's wrong with him?" People around gasped, some men went to lift him.

"What the heck is Amon doing?" Iselin snapped in her mind.

"Ma'am are you with him?, What's wrong with him?" The men who came to lift him asked Iselin, at that point the hall was beginning to get distracted by the scene, nobody was paying attention to what the Hokage was saying.

"What's going on there?" One of the officials asked a butler.

"I don't have any idea, sir, let me go and check it out" The butler replied, he strode down to the spot where the scene took place, the men trying to lift the body from the ground couldn't because it was heavy.

"He's already looking pale, is he dead?" different Voices in the hall kept asking.

The butler went close and touched the body of the man and it was cold.

"Everyone move aside" Botan commanded, he walked up to the body.

"Sir, we have some issues here, this man's body is cold," The butler told him quietly making sure no one around heard it.

"Hmmm, cold huh? is he dead?" Botan asked himself, he knelt and touched the body and it was truly cold, he lifted the man's face to take a look at it.

"Is he a mage?" He asked.

"No idea sir" The butler replied.

"Call in the guards" Botan commanded.

"Finally, Botan" Iselin sneered, she walked up to the upper part of the hall where she could not be noticed.

"Boys it's time," She said softly, her voice went into the air resonating.

Back at the motel.....

Amon stood still, he was already annoyed by what Goeth did, he wondered what could be of Iselin since he has lost control of his puppet.

"You" Amon's voice was strained, he looked at Goeth with his cold eyes but the anger in them was visible.

"I lost control!" Amon growled.

Goeth jerked, that was the first time Amon ever raised his voice.

"Was that pitch in there all this while?" Goeth ridiculed but he knew Amon was in no mood.

Amon clasped his hands together tightly, smoky substance began to rise from it, he started walking towards Goeth.

"Easy man....we are in this.. together" Goeth stammered, he was already freaking out.

Immediately Iselin's voice echoed to their hearing, Amon stopped, the smoky substance went off, Goeth heard the voice too but didn't make out what it said since he was dangling in fear of Amon.

"What did it say?" He asked.

"I think it's time, let's go" Amon replied, he walked away.

"Phew, thanks Iselin" Goeth exhaled, he went after Amon.

"Hey can't you just wait for me a little bit before walking off," He said as he made towards Amon.

Inside the hall...

The guards came in, they went towards the scene.

"Lord Botan, you called for us," They said in unison.

"Which of you attended to him when he walked in?" Botan asked looking at the body.

"He was with a woman" A guard pointed out, " she was the one doing the talking when I questioned them at the entrance, she said that they're mages from the north but the man was acting strange"

"Hmmm, get me a pin," Botan said to the butler, the butler went off in a flash and brought the pin for Botan.

Botan took the pin and punched a little hole in the man's body and waited for some time, there was no sign of blood or a drop of it, everyone around gasped.

Botan already knew something fishy was going on, the man lying down there is not a living being.

"He's not a living being," the guards said in disbelief.

"No drop of blood from the wound either" Another guard added.

"Dismiss the crowd, guard the sceptre, we have some intruders" Botan commanded.

All guards were ushered in, they help in the evacuation of the people out of the hall and everywhere became rowdy.

"Botan what the heck is going on?" Hiro asked struggling within the moving crowd.

"We have a necromancer around" Botan informed, he looked at the man lying on the floor, "He's one of the puppets".

"They must have come for the sceptre," Hiro said.

"I guess so, we have to be on alert, inform the s-ranks, let them protect the sceptre and the Hokage, I'll have the other guards with me in case anything happens"

Hiro went off to do as he said, immediately the dead body lying down on the floor stood up, smoke began to rise from its body and people around started to freak out. Botan turned and saw that the dead man standing, he became agitated and was ready for any action.

"Evacuate the people! Everyone should leave the hall!" Botan shouted.

The dead man started coming toward Botan, it forms a dagger in its hands with the smoke hovering around its body.

"You don't dare" Botan snarled, the body stopped like as if it heard what Botan said, in a flash, the body jumped towards him holding the dagger to strike him.

"Burn to cinders, flares".

Fire shot from Botan's hand like a flamethrower roasting the body as it drops dead.

The guards noticed the disturbance and rushed to him.

"Lord Botan are you ok?"

Botan affirmed, "guard the entrance of this hall and make sure everyone evacuates this building".

The guards separated themselves, each group having the same number of fire and water magicians.

Lady Aoi appeared, on seeing the commotion around the hall, she walked up to Botan and at that point, she saw a roasted body on the floor before him.

" What the heck is happening here?"

Botan looked at her, " we have some intruders"

"Burn to cinders, flares, Lord Botan, you never get old" Iselin cackled loudly making her presence be noticed, she walked down the stairs.

"Hello darling"

"Iselin" Botan gnashed.
