Chapter 5: :Activating 'Die'
The sky was dark, filled with slowly moving clouds and the wind gently flowing around the Frost Clan compound.
The wind blew the windows of a particular room open, as the moonlight penetrates inside.
Inside the room was a little child sleeping on his cradle, alone in this gigantic room.
"Shssh"
Meanwhile...
Two figures cloaked in assassin dark clothing were slowly walking at the side of the building.
Careful and quiet enough as a calm man's breath.
"I think this is the room," one of them whispered. The other gave a nod.
With a swift movement, they jumped and landed perfectly at the open window.
The affinity of air had aided them in the silence and stealth.
The room was dark, but due to the moonlight, they could see the cradle and baby sleeping peacefully.
In an instant, their shadows were now covering this child. They stared at themselves and nodded.
Before their hearts could beat again, the child was dismantled from the cradle.
However, as the assassin who held the child jumped off, before the other could do the same...
The door to the room opened. It was natural for the midwife's eyes to quickly land on the assassin at the window.
Then, looking at the cradle, the baby was gone. She screamed.
The whole compound was now at a sounding alarm like those in police forces.
"Fuck, they've been made."
Outside the Frost Clan compound was a man with white beards, and three horses by his side.
As he was looking around, he heard a few silent steps and turned around.
"How did you let them know you were there? It was supposed to be: go, capture the child, once we're done poisoning her, we return the child," said the white-bearded man.
He was pissed because now returning the child was not an option.
"I was almost out before that maiden saw me," said the one not holding the baby.
The white-bearded man sighs. "Give me the child. We'll just have to poison her and leave her here."
The one carrying the child handed the baby over to the man.
With a few hand movements and two fingers, the man taps the forehead, then the baby's torso, then the chest, before his P.
With every tap, a green light was created. However, the man noticed something that shouldn't be there.
"What? A prick?" asked the man.
The two assassins were confused. What was the baby supposed to have? A goat's organ?
"You fools, you have the wrong child! Where did you get this one from?" the old man grunts, restricting himself from shouting as he was very pissed off.
It was now that Williams heard the alarm. He didn't want to open his eyes because his body felt weak.
However, he eventually opened them and was filled with shock.
'Where... where am I?' thought Williams.
He was outside the comfort of the house and was now panicking.
'Just how did I get out of the house without anyone knowing?'
"The first child of the second wife, Master, that was what you said."
"No, you fools, I said the second child of the first wife!"
The situation had made them get the wrong child and poisoned him at that.
Although Williams could not understand a word, he could tell they were unhappy.
'System, kill these people at once,' said Williams.
But nothing happened, except for a familiar ding sound and the black interface.
-[Ding]
-[Command Recognized; for you to use the Unique Authority: Death, you must simply have the target in mind and use the word: Die]
With the help of the system, Williams now understood what he should have said.
He didn't know who these people were or what they were doing, but he knew being outside alone with three dark-cloaked men was unwelcoming.
"How could you pick the wrong child? Can't you read the energy? This one doesn't give off Jah energy," the man grunts.
"This... this one—uh?" the man paused the moment he saw how those ice eyes of Williams were staring at him.
Like Williams was about to kill him. Of course, he was.
"What? You little—"
However, right in front of Williams, veins erupted in the man's head as a curved dagger appeared on his palm from dark air.
'Die.'
But before the dagger could reach Williams, the man stopped.
His trembling fingers let go of the dagger that fell off his grip, then he fell to his knees.
"Ki—cough, ki—cough," he tried forming words but he couldn't. He was just coughing out blood while blood was streaming from his eyes.
He had to stretch the baby to an assassin who now held Williams. And gripped his chest burning from the inside.
The man kept coughing hard, trying to tell them to kill Williams immediately, but he couldn't.
"Ki... Cough... Cough"
Until he coughed to the point where he made no more sound, falling to the ground like a collapsed building.
He was dead.

"Master?" the one with the baby mutters. He was confused, just as the other behind him.
Then his eyes met with Williams, and he felt the fear. But before he could do anything...
'Die.'
Just like the other, the assassin began coughing as well, eventually stretching the baby to the other assassin.
"Dude, what is happening? Are you okay?"
But the coughing assassin was unable to reply. His cough was louder, and blood quickly formed a pool where he knelt.
His eyes, mixed with tears and blood, the assassin was dying. And as he collapsed, he had finally died.

Williams was giggling. The assassin was confused.
"Uh? Master? Brother? What type of prank is this? We have to leave before they find us."
The last assassin was undoubtedly the youngest. Well, he sounded like one, and stupid as one too.
Just like the fallen ones, looking at Williams' eyes, he instantly knew he was going to die. His eyeballs widened as if wanting to escape his eye sockets.
'Alright, Die.'
Unlike the rest, this one's head was blown to pieces, staining Williams with blood.
'Bwehehe... this... this feeling,' Williams couldn't help the satisfaction.

Blood kept gushing from the beheaded assassin. The body fell to its knees and carelessly dropping Williams on the floor was hard.
It rang pain through Williams' brain, causing him to involuntarily cry.
"Uh? Do you hear that? It's the young Master's cry."
"Yes, hurry, it's coming from outside the compound."
Along with Lord Frost, ten exorcists quickly ran towards the direction of Williams' infant cry.
While Mistress Nadia was also running behind them.
But when they arrived...
"Dear God."
