Idris had killed the woman with a slash, decapitating her. The marquis had come in and saw him lifting the head up.
His blood boiled as he thought about the torture the man in front of him would be put through in a few hours.
His smile grew wider and said: "That's for all of the crimes you have commited."
Marquis Larmanton had no choice, but to fight. Idris would certainly not stop trying to harm him.
The marquis was at the 7th layer Body Tempering Realm and very strong, so he believed a normal child could do nothing to him, but after he had seen him kill his wife and maybe even his servants, he had to be much more careful.
Idris threw the head to the side. It exploded when it hit the wall and bones and brain flew everywhere.
He began to run and activated Lightning Strike. The electricity was released and a lightning blade flew towards marquis Larmanton.
A earth barrier was erected from the ground and blocked the strike. Idris fired another Lightning Strike, which destroyed the wall and flew towards his opponent with amazing power.
The marquis casted a spell and fire appeared in his hand. He swung down his hand from above his head. The fire began to spread and form several compressed fireballs.
He shot them at the lightning, which was destroyed by the force and dissipated.
Idris knew that the fireballs flying at him weren't something easy to block and tried to evade them. One of the balls lit the table on fire, while another one burnt the corpse to ashes. The last one brushed his clothes that began to burn.
Idris put out the flames with water and thought of a way to defeat his enemy. He had to be faster and regretted that he didn't learn a spell for his movements.
He formed a Fire Lance in his hand and threw it, before creating another and charging at the marquise to stab him.
Marquis Larmanton parried the first lance with a punch, while imbuing his mana into it. He dodged the stab and thre another punch at Idris. It connected and he flew away crashing into the wall behind him.
If Idris hadn't formed his Wind Armor at the right time, he would probably be severely injured. But the power of the armor was so strong, it had annulled the power of the fist. Even so the force had been so great that he flew backwards.
Idris stood up again. Throughout the fight he had only gotten more excited.
It was time to get more serious. He casted Dark Domain and a blck sphere began to envelop the house. Idris started to feel his power rise drastically. Not only was it night, but also a darkness magic increasing spell was casted.
Again his smile grew wider than before, now reaching directly under his eyes.
He activated Revert and one could see changes in marquis Larmanton's face and stature almost immediately. He grew younger every second. But that also meant that he would be even stronger for a short while. His peak had been in his 20s and his power returned with his appearance.
The earth started to rumble as rocks rose from the ground. Fire started to dance on them. His power grew all the way to the 8th layer Body Tempering Realm.
The marquis shot the rocks at Idris, controlling them in his direction.
Idris imbued his hands with darkness magic and crushed the fiery stones that came flying towards him.
He also casted Dark Flames, putting the whole house on fire. The marquise was still fine, his power almost reaching the advanced stage of the 8th layer Body Tempering Realm.
Idris elemental energy still rose, showing no sign of stopping. The sphere around them became stronger and Revert became faster.
Idris used Lightning Strike again, slashing several times at his opponent. The electricity reached to the marquis and vanished as they touched a layer of fire around him.
Marquis Larmanton had only two minutes of his full power left and had to use it efficiently. He couldn't allow himself to make a mistake or he would die.
He casted his strongest fire spell: Burn.
It was extremely hot and would cover a large area. It could also be compressed onto a little spot, making it even deadlier. And that's what he did.
Meanwhile on Idris' side, things began to get even better. He got so much energy, that it overflowed and a layer of black flames formed around his body.
When the marquis casted his spell, it was absorbed by the dark fire surrounding the boy and refined into his own mana.
Revert became to strong and marquis Larmanton fell on his knees. He had lost too much energy for his young body. A sharp pain ran through his body.
Idris had won the fight, even without transforming. But he now had an idea how to activate his transformation. The overflowing energy had helped him to get to the first stage, covering his whole body with black flames.
It was also due to the effect of Dark Domain that his power had risen so quickly.
In the next weeks he would definitely train to advance on his road of using the transformation at will.
He felt happy about all the kills he had made today. He also had enough equipment now for the torture he had prepared for so long. He picked up the now unconscious marquise and left the mansion.
The black sphere dissipated and the house became visible to the outside again. To make sure to not be found out, he casted another Black Flames. The mansion began to burn as a whole and was soon nothing more than a pile of ash.
Idris took marquis Larmanton under his arm and headed back to his own house.
As he arrived, he told the servants to immediately prepare the basement and place a table and scalpels into it.
He took the marquis downstairs and tied him up.
"Now the real fun begins" Idris said while slowly rubbing his hand in happiness.
