Chapter 340: Aaron’s Death

...And you know what, we are having some arrangements to make sure that even the goblins are going to attack. And of course, they are not going to attack the entire human race, but they are simply going to target this territory and this territory alone."

Alicia looked at Aaron. She had already expected that Aaron was going to play a trick like this, but she had not expected that it was going to be something this serious.

But there was a frown on her face. She did not understand how it was possible that Aaron had managed to convince both the military, the zombies, and even the goblins in order to be able to attack this territory.

According to how the situation was, if any human managed to step in the territory of either of the races, they would definitely be killed on the spot, or taken in as hostage.

And whoever it was that was taken in as hostage, other than asking them to give information, they would end up being treated as slaves, or even food for the goblins and the zombies.

Well, for the zombies, they never took in hostages. Instead, they would either turn a person into a zombie, or they would just eat up his brains.

Although she did not understand how it was that Aaron had managed to do something like that, Alicia understood one thing. Right now was definitely not the time for her to think much about how it was possible for something like this to happen.

Instead, she was supposed to be thinking of the countermeasures that she was going to apply in order to be able to deal with the attacks that were going to be launched soon.

When Aaron received a glare from Alicia, for a moment, he could feel that Alicia was giving out killing intent. This was actually the first time that she had done something like that. Although she was always angry at him, but she had never shown any killing intent in front of him.

Of course Aaron was not intimidated by the killing intent that was coming out of Alicia considering that she was also restricting it, not giving out her full killing intent.

He simply went ahead and chuckled as he said, "Alicia, you cannot blame me for this. Right now, you only have two choices, one of them is that you submit to me, and become my woman while at the same time giving all the power of the territory to me, or two, you are going to fight against the zombies.

And believe me or not, once you are subdued, I will not give you a chance like this again. At that time, you will do everything that I say, nothing more than just a plaything for me."

Alicia looked directly into Aaron’s eyes. At this time, she was finally done. It was enough that she had already tolerated all the things that Aaron had been doing all this while. But now, he had already gone past the limit that she could tolerate.

Step by step, Alicia closed the gap between the two of them. At the same time, the killing intent that was coming out of her body suddenly increased drastically.

Initially, when he realized that Alicia was walking towards him, he thought that Alicia had decided to give in. But when he realized that the killing intent that was coming out of Alicia had suddenly increased, he realized that things were actually not going the way that he wanted them to.

For a moment, the smile that was on his face froze. He had not expected that Alicia was actually going to attack him. Although she had not attacked just yet, from the movements that she was making, it was very clear to him that she was definitely going to attack.

He had been by her side for a very long time now, and he understood her quite well. So, he understood when she was angry, and every time that she was angry, nobody that made her angry would have a good ending.

"What are you planning to do? You better not try to do anything stupid. Believe me or not, if you try to attack me, things are definitely going to go out of control." Aaron stated.

At the same time, he took a step back and only prevented himself from retreating when he thought that perhaps all of this was just a façade that Alicia was putting on.

Alicia’s red eyes were filled with killing intent and extreme coldness. To her, it did not matter what it was that Aaron was planning. It was better to get rid of him right now, than allow him to continue orchestrating against her.

She did not say anything after what Aaron had said. Instead, in her hand, lightning suddenly began flickering. It was clear that she was going to use the lightning element to attack.

"Let me tell you something, if you attack me right now, believe it or not, the military and the zombies are going to launch a full scale attack. And not only that, you are going to have internal strife at the same time. Do you believe that you are going to be capable of defending against all of that?" Aaron began retreating as he stated, trying to threaten Alicia.

At this point, he had already realized that Alicia was extremely serious. After all, the lightning that was flickering on her hand was definitely not a joke. He already knew what attack it was that was going to be launched considering that he had been observing Alicia for quite a while now.

"Doesn’t matter. Guess I’ll just have to get rid of some of the troubles that are going to affect me from within first." Alicia stated in a cold tone.

In the next moment, without giving Aaron a chance of saying anything else, she struck.

The lightning that was flickering on her hand suddenly increased in intensity. In the next moment, the lightning solidified and formed a long thread that charged towards Aaron who had already retreated more than 5 m away from Alicia.

Of course since Aaron had already realized that Alicia was going to attack, and he understood the personality that she possessed, he had already taken the spear that he was having on his back.

The moment that Alicia attacked, he did not stay idle either. Instead, he waved the spear in his hand, trying to block the lightning thread that was charging towards him.

But he had underestimated the power that Alicia possessed. Alicia was not only extremely stronger compared to him, but she was also using the lightning element, something that moved at an incredible speed.

So, without having a chance of blocking the attack, the lightning thread suddenly went ahead and surrounded his body.

Being entangled by the lightning thread, Aaron panicked. This was not the first time that he had seen Alicia using this attack. And all those that had been attacked by this skill that Alicia had utilized, they had never ended up in a good way.

At this point, Aaron could feel that the lightning thread was solid, and it was surrounding his body, holding him in place as if it was just a normal rope. But he was not affected at all, as if the lightning that was running around his body in the form of a thread was not even present.

Alicia who was holding the other end of the lightning thread of diameter of about 3cm looked at Aaron silently. In the next moment, she suddenly intensified the lightning current that was surging on the thread.

Initially, Aaron did not feel anything because of the armor he was putting on. But with Alicia suddenly increasing the intensity of the lightning, Aaron felt the lightning suddenly charging into his body.

He wanted to resist, but he did not have a chance at all. The lightning had immediately frozen him, not giving him a chance of making any movement.

Are the same time, Aaron could feel that his blood was being boiled by the lightning that was coursing through it. The color of his skin suddenly turned extremely red.

Alicia could see everything that was happening to Aaron as she was close to him. She could see that the color of the skin close to his neck and the other parts of his body that were exposed had already turned. This was just the way that the skill worked.

After a while, the red skin began drying up. Then, in the next moment, it began wrinkling. It was as if Aaron was suddenly aging at an incredible speed.

Aaron wanted to shout, but since his body was frozen, he could not do anything at all. Not even the sound that he was trying so hard to get out of his throat was working.

As the skin dried up, even the water in Aaron’s eyes dried up. Finally, Aaron’s skin turned completely black. Together with that, the lightning thread that was surrounding Aaron’s body disappeared.

With the disappearance of the thread, Aaron’s body crumbled onto the ground like a sand castle that had suddenly been knocked over.

From Aaron’s entire body, all that was left behind was black dust, and the pair of equipment that he was possessing before he died. Not even a bone could be seen within the mixture of dust that was completely black.

Alicia looked at everything without saying anything. To her, she did not feel that what she had done was cruel. Instead, she felt that she was lenient enough, allowing Aaron to die just like that. Otherwise, with what he had done, he was supposed to receive the worst punishment and extreme torture.

’It is good to eliminate him right now. If I let him live, I will have more trouble to deal with.’ Alicia thought to herself. Then in the next moment, she looked back towards the direction of the tent where they had held a meeting before.
