Chapter 45: Second Kill

"What a nice place you have here," Madara said looking around at broken tubes and one filled with this blue liquid.

"Huh?" Baro looked behind him confused because he didn't recognize that voice. When he looked back, he saw a menacing looking man with a Magic Knights robe.

"Who the hell are y-" Baro said before getting interrupted.

*BAM!* *BLAGH!*

Madara vanished from where he was and in front of Baro. He punched Baro in the gut, making him throw up what he ate, and a mouth full of blood.

"I didn't say you could speak, did I?" Madara said making Baro grit his teeth.

"Now, I know you won't be able to do anything because your magic is useless. So listen carefully." Madara said in a cold tone making Baro grit his teeth even more.

"You are going to die today." Madara making Baro tremble with fear. "But I'm not going to kill you right now. I'm going to wait until your brother arrives then I will kill you in front of him."

"Is it money you want? If it is, I can get it. Just let me go!" Baro pleaded. Seeing how Madara was indifferent he looks at Madaras' mana. Through the lens, he couldn't see an aspect of magic power from Madara.

Feeling that Niege was getting closer, Madara turned his back to face the entrance. Baro thinking that since he didn't see any magic power from Madara, he was weak.

When he saw him turn around, a big smile appeared on his face along with his eyes shining. He threw a hard punch toward Madara to only hit the air.

"Sneak attacks. Who would've thought? You are just so eager to die, aren't you?" Madara asked from Baro.

Madara knew Baro was going to try something, so he didn't let his guard down. Even though Baro couldn't hurt Madara, he wanted to give a false sense of hope.

The reason Baro couldn't sense any magic power from Madaras was that his power was too high to be sensed by it.

'I wonder when they will notice the kids are gone.' Madara thought after feeling Neiges' presence getting closer.

"Heh!" Madara said as a sadistic smile appeared across his face.

Madara then began to beat Baro like he stole something. With each punch to the face, teeth came out, blood splattered on the ground, and his face swelled with every punch.

Madara then began to punch Baro in the stomach, ribs, liver, and kidneys. He wanted him to feel every punch he was receiving. After he was done, Madara had teeth marks on his knuckles, blood on his hands, face, and shirt.

Just when he dropped his body, Neige was coming into view. He saw Madara over the beaten Baro with blood on his hands.

Niege looked in horror seeing the sight before him. His horror turned into pure rage, as he cast a spell.

"Snow Creation Magic: Snow Friends!" Large snowmen came charging at Madara with the intent to kill him.

Before they could even get close, Madara swung his sword using his fire ability. Bright red blades of fire cut through the snowmen with ease. Instantly, the snowmen melted.

After getting rid of the snowmen, Madara stabbed Baro through the heart and held his body in the air. Seeing this, Neiges' world came crashing down seeing his brother die.

He then begins to break down and say all he wanted was friends. Madara could care less about what he was saying. When he was telling Madara his life story, his clone informed them that the kids were gone.

Just then, the kids under the spell walked into the cave. Neige didn't move an inch seeing them. Now all Madara had to do was wait.

During the time, Marie broke free from the spell. She saw a dead, a man crying, and Madara standing over the dead body with good stains on him.

"Madara... What's going on?" Marie asked scared seeing the lifeless look in the other kid's eyes.

"Don't worry, Marie," Madara said making her calm down a little.

After ten minutes, Asta, Sister Theresa, and Gauche came into the cave. Gauche saw Madara near Marie and had a fit.

"Get away from Marie, you trash!" Gauche said as he fired off a few ray beams. Of course, Madara did nothing and took the beams, receiving no damage.

"Stop it, brother!" Marie said getting in front of Madara with her arms spread like a shield.

"But... Marie..." Gauche said quietly before stopping.

"Madara, what happened here?" Asta asked walking up to Madara.

"I'll explain, but using your sword to dispel the spell on the kids," Madara said getting a head nod from Asta. Asta then went around tapping the foreheads of the kids with his sword.

"The one on the floor crying tried to lure the kids here with his magic, so this guy right here could suck them dry," Madara said confusing the three.

"What do you mean?" Asta asked.

"They were going to suck the magic out of them and leave them for dead. The one right here got a little hostile, so I had to kill him." Madara said making Asta grit his teeth.

"You couldn't have knocked him out or restrained him? Was it necessary to kill him?" Asta asked sounding sad.

"He was bound to die. He had no place in this world." Madara said making Asta mad.

"What gives you the right to decide that?!" Asta shouted making everyone look at them.

"Defending scum who tortured kids. Scum who would do anything if it was the right price. Wake up to reality! Don't you see the children who were kidnapped and injured? You would rather let a man like this live than protect innocent children?" Madara asked making Asta grip his sword tighter.

"That's not what I'm saying! There could have been a better way to handle the situation!" Asta said as Madara walked over to the table. He clicked the signal for reinforcements If things went bad.

Madara then made a large portal under the kids and teleported them back to Nean. They were amazed I could create a portal so large and transport so many people.

"Great thinking, Madara!" Asta said congratulating Madara for his quick thinking.

"Sister Theresa," Madara said as he created a portal for her to go through. Sister Theresa went through the portal and Madara closed it behind her.

"Madara?" Asta said confused about why he closed the portal.

"We are expected company," Madara said making Gauche scoff and fly off.

"Who is it?" Asta asked as Madara pointed to the portal opening.

"Madara! It's been a long time!" Sally said jumping through the portal.

"How are your ribs doing? Along with internal organs?" Madara asked making Sally grit her teeth.

"I'm going to enjoy dissecting you!" Sally said licking her lips.

'This is not the time, but I'm curious.' Madara thought before a smile spread across his face.

"What would you do if I let you dissect me?" Madara asked confusing Sally.

Madara then quietly whispered to Asta, not making it obvious. "On my go, attack her."

Asta didn't react, he only kept his eyes on Sally.

"What do you mean?" Sally asked confused about his offer.

"What exactly did you come for? Did you come because you got the signal and want to experiment on Asta and I, or do you have different intentions?" Madara asked getting an intrigued look from Sally.

"Yes, I came to dissect you. Why else would I be here?" Sally said getting annoyed with Madara.

"You barely have any clothes and you came to 'experiment' with two boys," Madara said making Sally's face got beet red to understand what Madara was getting at.

"That isn't why I'm here!" Sally said dropping her guard. Madara saw this and gave Asta the signal.
