Chapter 41 - 4
Smoke and dust covered the spot where their combined attack was. Their combined attack power was enough to break the barrier created by a magic grandmaster.
"Did we make it?" The leader narrowed his eyes and muttered.
When the smoke and dust dissipated they could only stare in amazement.
"What!? No way!! How could this barrier not be broken! In other words, there are people with power above magic grandmaster in this place!" The leader gritted his teeth as he could sense danger approaching.
What the leader feels becomes reality. From the darkness, a black-robed person appeared whose face could not be seen. The air of his existence couldn't even be felt by the 4 people who were masters until he appeared before them.
"I wanted to see what kind of power level people would be sent to attack this mansion." The black-robed person spoke quietly while walking towards them..
"Who are you?" The leader unconsciously stepped back in fear.
"To think that person would send 4 masters to this mansion just to kill a little girl. Looks like he has a lot of money and power." The black-robed person ignored his question and continued muttering to himself.
The black-robed person is Ziel. He made a barrier so they couldn't escape and disturb the people inside the mansion. He also wanted to see to what extent the strength of the person sent to kill the master he was about to serve. Unexpectedly that person ordered 4 masters level people to kill a little girl.
"Then I'll take care of you now." Ziel took out a dinner knife from inside his robe. He took a step and then disappeared leaving an afterimage. Then he appeared behind the person in black who was the only magician in the group.
"One.." he stabbed the knife directly into the mage's chest. The mage realized Ziel's presence too late and was stabbed right in the chest. He could only see blood dripping from his chest.
Ziel compressed his aura to the extreme into the knife to make it easier to penetrate the enemy's body. Because the higher the power level. The tougher their body parts. That applies to knights or mages. But knights had an advantage in their physique over mages. Because of that, there was no way an ordinary dinner knife could pierce the body of a master-level mage or knight.
"Urgh..." The person in black who was holding the magic wand died without being able to do anything.
"He's dangerous! We attack together!" The leader was frightened after one of his men died within seconds.
The ax wielder, trident wielder, and leader with the dagger attacked simultaneously. The three of them opened their 5 aura seals. Ziel just stood still waiting for them to attack. The ax user swung his ax at Ziel's head. A bat-patterned aura seal formed on his body. Ziel simply stabbed the dinner knife which he had aura flowing into the blade to the ax.
[weapon breaker]
The tip of Ziel's blade met the blade of the ax. It wasn't Ziel's knife that was shattered but the ax that the person in black was swinging was instantly shattered. The ax user was shocked because his ax was crushed by the dinner knife. Ziel took advantage of it and directly slashed the person's neck.
"Ahhhh...!!" The ax user died while clutching his neck.
The next attack came from the trident and dagger users. Ziel endured the dagger's slash the same way he held ax users. His dagger shattered and the leader in black was about to retreat but Ziel grabbed him and made him a shield against the trident's stab.
"Aaarrrghh...what are you doing you bastard!!" He was stabbed in the back and shouted at his subordinates.
"Sorry... Captain." The trident user tried to pull out his weapon. But before he could pull his trident, Ziel kicked them both at once in a pile. Then threw his dinner knife at their foreheads. And they both died instantly.
"Haaa... Maybe there will be more trouble in my job in the future." Ziel sighed heavily and snapped his fingers. Suddenly the four bodies burned and scorched instantly until they turned to ashes and then disappeared in the wind. Ziel pulled back his dinner knife then removed the barrier and left the place.

In the morning, at the garden in front of duke Hazell's mansion. A young boy was swinging his wooden sword. That person is Ziel. He woke up early in the morning after cleaning up last night's troubles. He had previously run around the vast gardens of duke Hazell's residence dozens of times. After that, he did his regular sword practice. He never did this in the morning when he lived in the Argaint Kingdom castle. But do it at night before morning. Because he would be suspected of where he learned swordsmanship from.
After completing the routine practice. Ziel immediately took a shower and put on his butler clothes. This day was the first day he started working as a butler for Clara. Ziel immediately went to Clara's room to wake her up. Because he already got Clara's schedule.
"My lady, it's morning. Are you awake?" Ziel knocked on Clara's room 3 times but still no answer.
"My lady, your magic teacher will be here soon. If you don't wake up soon. Master will wake you up." Ziel kept knocking on Clara's room.
Crack...
The room's door opened. She came out while still sleepy while rubbing her eyes. Her hair was still a mess… and most importantly, she was still wearing her nightgown. Because the nightgown was a bit transparent, Clara's curves and body parts could be seen. She has a very beautiful body shape.
"Ooh Ken, what's wrong?" Clara asked still not aware of the situation.
"My lady, you better change your clothes first." Ziel lowered his head and didn't look directly at her.
Clara who heard what Ziel said immediately looked at herself. After realizing that she was still wearing her nightgown, she immediately slammed the door and shouted.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." Clara's scream could be heard throughout the mansion.
"What's wrong Clara!?" Duke Hazell screamed in concern after hearing his daughter's shouted. He looked breathless as if he had run in a hurry. And behind him is his wife Eleanor Castilene and his butler, Raven.
"Nothing, dad." Came the answer from inside Clara's room.
"Ken, what's wrong with Clara?" Duke Hazell was dissatisfied with Clara's answer, then he asked Ziel.
"Ahh, that is..." Ziel then explained what happened earlier to Duke Hazell and the others.
"Hahaha... I thought something had happened to Clara." Duke Hazell laughed after hearing what Ziel had to say. His wife could only smile wryly.
Finally, Clara's door opened. He peeked through the open door.
"Please forget what you saw earlier, Ken." Clara said quietly to Ziel.
***
Every day in the morning Clara will do magic training. Magic and swordsmanship were very important to noble families. Today she will be taught by a special magic teacher for the next year.
Currently, Duke Hazell, his wife, and Clara are waiting in front of the mansion. Ziel and Raven also waited behind them. The luxurious carriage that entered Duke Hazell's residence stopped right in front of the mansion. It was seen from the luxurious carriage that inside was an important person.
The person who got out of the carriage was a beautiful young woman of about 25 years of age with short golden hair and yellow eyes. She wore a green dress and carried a long wand with a purple crystal on it. This woman is Clara's special magic teacher.
"Welcome Miss Beatrix to my house." Duke Hazell greeted the woman in a very polite manner.
"You don't have to be so polite Duke Castilene. You even waited for me in front of the mansion." The woman nodding and smiled at duke Hazell. Then she looked at the woman next to Duke Hazell.
"Eleanor, how are you? It's been a long time since we've seen each other." She exchanged hugs with Eleanor Castilene.
"I'm fine. And you look very good too." Eleanor returned her embrace with a smile.
The woman's name was Beatrix Artvika. She was an old friend of Eleanor even before Eleanor married Duke Hazell. She was a genius mage and currently, his strength was at the mage king level. She was asked by Eleanor to teach magic to her daughter, Clara.
"Is this your daughter?" Beatrix smiled looking at Clara.
"Yes...Clara, this is mom's old friend, Beatrix Artvika. She is a genius mage. She is currently one of the strongest magic kings on the continent and will be your magic teacher for the next 1 year." Eleanor introduces Beatrix to Clara.
"Wow... awesome! Aunt Beatrix, nice to meet you. Please take care of me from now on." Clara smiled happily like she was looking at her idol. Because Clara likes magic and idolizes strong mages.
"You are very beautiful, just like your mother when you were young ..." While she was talking suddenly her body had goosebumps. She was a mage king, her feelings were honed and very sensitive. She knew very well that the feeling she had briefly felt earlier was terror. Then she looked around and finally looked at Ziel.
"Who is he?" Beatrix narrowed her eyes at Ziel.
