He had magical powers?

"You know what your mistake was? Your birth!"

"Hahahaha"

The assassin has already lost his consciousness, his mind was in grasp of another being, his eerily voice prickled in Dew's ears like a needle, and that thing's foul breath escaping from his mouth every time he said anything.

'Damn, this thing will kill me for sure, I didn't even get to know this world and change anything, what is the percentage that if I ended up dying here I will be back in my world, however, till now I had a hope, even though it was little that once changing the story to better ending I will be transported back to where I came from but no-'

At this very moment, the thing in black cloaked, whose dilated pupils had a sharp glint, sprinted towards Dew who had already seen it.

In the blink of an eye, that thing appeared in front of Dew, without giving him any other chance to escape, the black cloaked figure pierced through Dew's heart in an instant.

'Ahh! It hurts.' Dew, who had somehow managed to not scream, grunted in his heart, his sword had already fallen at a distance very far, he tried to save himself from being stabbed but that thing's strength succeeded him by far more than his power.

 The black cloaked figure smiled, a very creepy smile appearing on his face, tugging his lips upward, enjoying Dew's suffering, wanting to afflict him with more torment so he twisted the dagger a bit before pulling it out.

"Ahhhh..!!" This time Dew couldn't withstand the stinging pain, he grunted, his hand trying to stop the blood from pouring at the same time attempting in vain struggle to sooth his bleeding heart.

'So..this is what it feels like dying? a feeling that it could just end already so that I won't have to endure this pain for any long. Marie, your big brother is useless, first leaving you alone and now we won't ever get the chance to meet, please forgive your big brother Marie.'

The black figure's intense glare, cast on Dew's all this while finally moving after watching how his last breath escaped.

With a content heart the thing turned to the window, walking leisurely towards it, in no hurry as he had completed his mission and now, he had to go and claim his precious reward.

It was at this moment, he hears some rustling from behind, he only turned 180 degrees, to see what it is and what entered his dilated pupil vision was-

*One minute before*

Dew's eyes wide open, his heart full of grief, watching how that black cloaked figure's walking leisurely, he cursed in his heart, his whole life seemed to flash before his eyes like a film, including the memories of both lives.

'Why is this bastard's face the last thing I saw? In the garden he appeared to be really calm but I know he was slightly tense but about what? Hah! I'm never getting a chance to find out. My transmigrated life ends here'

His eyelashes became heavy, a weight that was too strenuous for him to lift, so he ended up giving on any struggle to keep his eyes open.

Dew's veins that were depleting of blood at a faster rate seem to be flowing with something else, a translucent bright blue light appears to be replacing blood.

'Is-is it really...ha-happ..ening?' Dew whose last shred of consciousness was leaving- stopped at a loss, he couldn't understand what was happening.

A sheath, formed by a hard crystal of bright blue shards engulfed Dew's damaged heart, the veins and arteries that were attached to the heart were flowing with that bright blue fluid functioning as blood.

In a moment after that, Dew felt a burst of energy in himself, he staggered a little while standing and fetched his sword that was at a distance.

*Present*

The black cloaked figure's expression changed when he saw Dew standing with a sword infused with pure mana.

It was a blend of both fear and thrill, he was informed that Eberhardt didn't have any magical power so how could the Emperor be wielding his sword that is infused with his mana? And how could he even survive after that attack??

A nasty expression appeared on that thing's face.

"Hahaha!! So, the Emperor was hiding his truth all this time, fooling everyone, you know an Emperor that lies SHOULD BE KILLED!!! With said that, he once again tried to use the same move, however, this time it was him that felt what dying meant.

 "You shouldn't act cocky before you know your enemy completely, I will give you a grand end that you deserve so you should feel grateful towards me! You Soul Puppet!!."

Dew was fastest this time, dodging the cloaked figure's attack and swiftly turned to appear behind him in a flash; the figure didn't even have any chance to ploy his next attack when Dew leapt in the air.

The cloaked figure lifted his head up, his dilated pupils caught Dew who was above him and the sword he grabbed with his both hands slightly slanted and what the next thing happened was a thud sound.

The figure's body was split in two halves, both of his eyes were open in horror. It had fallen on the ground, and not even a seconds later of his death, his flesh along with his bones turned to ashes.

Dew, standing, wiped the beads of sweat that flowed down his cheeks with his one hand, and when he had only taken a few steps, he fell to the ground, this time he had fainted for real.
