An Assistant to the Angel of Death
2

Claude immediately understood the situation he rushed quickly to pick up his bundle of cloth and ran away from the wall of the fence of his residence. Claude knew he should have said goodbye to Ren because he had helped him a lot including his last time at this time, help, yet fate says another Claude thinks maybe he is destined to meet her again sometime, so the creator doesn't allow the two of them to say goodbye.

Claude squinted his eyes, looking at the breadth of the wheat fields in Baron Marquez's farm. Dew dots ran down his face, his eyes not so smoothly looking at the path described by Ren, as the gray mist that had come out of nowhere suddenly descended blocked his sight.

A voice from behind the fog surprised him. “Kwak.kwak.” Claude shuddered in fear when he heard the crow's voice that left him shocked to death. “Is the choice I made to escape the Baron residence the wrong choice.” In his heart was not at all calm, he was a little sorry to leave the house just because he was no longer able to be under the pressure of his family.

After a long time he walked relying on his instincts he arrived at a forest rim not far from the border of the state of Tarten just when the dawn began to dawn. That means he managed to escape from his home and Father or his brother could not catch up with him again when he had entered the forest.

Claude's escape destination is the Great Tower where the Tower was once the residence of his mother before he fell in love with baron Marquez and left everything behind. According to the map drawn by Ren. The tower is located right on the border of Tarten. But on the other hand the image made by Rain is not at all clear how the details he can get to the area.

For both times Claude had to rely on his instincts. He traversed the forest by following a plant that was well-liked by magic. Claude discovers a dark black tower filled with negative energy. The tower was black and dark, yet was quite heavily exposed to the sunlight. From its shape is similar to a haunted Tower or Tower that is inhabited by a witch thousands of years old as in a film or books that he had read occasionally before.

Claude observed the Tower from a distance. Claude firmly believed that the Tower his mother used to live in could not be the Tower that was so much surrounded by darkness that gripped like this demonic energy.

As Claude drew closer to the Tower, he realized that someone was observing the Tower. Looking at the man's way of dressing, Claude suspected the man was from the Tarten state. Because he understood very well how to dress nobility and people in his kingdom.

Slowly Claude took out his little dagger to be careful if the person saw it. Claude was so wary of the man, his all-black clothes made him very sure that the man was someone who had evil intentions for the Tower. Slowly Claude approached the man, carefully carrying a dagger in his right hand and a cloth bundle in his left.

“Oi, you idiot can you help me through that tower?”

The man suddenly let out his voice and broke the previously created silence.

. “Come here I won't hurt you” said the suspicious man. “I was ordered to take the life of the witch who was inside the tower. You know, I'm still an apprentice child yet to be given enough power to deal with such a huge amount of dark magic.”

Claude did not understand what he meant. He swiftly stepped back to get away from her. “You, who are you? You're a hit man???” Claude brandished his dagger to the man as the man began to approach Claude. "Don't Get Close!! I don't have any money you should be richer than me. I know the pay of a hit man is not small, you will be in vain to kill a poor boy like me.” His hands, feet and entire body trembled after seeing the true figure of the man.

“I told you I won't hurt you, obey me and help me enter the Tower.”

The man kept on approaching Claude.

Until finally Claude did a little resistance by moving carelessly while brandishing his dagger to the man, but it was very ridiculous for the man. The man teleported from tree to tree several times from shrubbery and from other places. Claude's slow movements certainly left him unable to do anything about it.

“You are so stupid, how could a human commoner like you want to kill me who is an angel of death.”

The man chuckled at Claude's foolish behavior trying to fight the man.

Said Claude who did not believe the man's words.

“Yaa, my name is Krudzrail junior angel of death who just got the assignment for the first time. Limited magic. Although it is still in the category with mana and magic that is quite large, but I still cannot purify the great demonic energy like this. But maybe my senior Rafael might be able to do it just that senior is busy in the Urway” royal area

Krud spoke at length introducing himself, but Claude still doubted the angel of death who seemed to be not far from him.

“I still can't believe your nonsense, where there are angels that can be seen by human eyes.”

“You are right, but compared to you suspecting me you should be proud of your special self, maybe you should also be the owner of where the magic is great but something has happened to you.”

“Something? What do you mean?”

“I won't tell you because I wasn't assigned to it, my main task is to take Espen's life.”

“Espen?”

“Ya, he is the owner of this Tower.”

“Then do you know where Gonstower is?”

Claude impatiently asked the Witch Tower he was looking for.

“Gonstower? I seem to have heard of it. Was the Tower inhabited by eleven great witches?”

“I don't know but my mom is from there.”

“Then after you find the Tower, what will you do?”

“I.., I don't know either. Maybe I'll ask those witches about my mom.”

“Then after that?”

“I'll ask them about myself why I can't use magic. Unlike my other brothers and sisters.”

“If that's enough I can also help you.”
