Jin couldn't predict that they were dealing with the group ******* from his past lifethe group he only heard from rumors. Moreover, they were not satisfied with just attacking the Runcandel cadets. They also planned to kidnap the girls.
"How long has it been since Mesa was arrested?"
"It hasn't been an hour."
"Then they must still be on their way to the entrance of the beastmen territory."
Jin approached the corpse with a dagger on the head and pulled it out. He then received two more daggers from the cadets and kept them in his boots and in his robe.
“We will also prepare to chase them, Young Master.”
“No, I'll go save Mesa myself. You stay here and finish treating your wounds. Once you are done, reunite with Group 1 and ask for help from the clan.
"Yes?"
All the cadets showed surprised expressions.
“The attackers we faced were all about 4-star warriors. How can we send you alone when there are twenty of them ?! ”
“Can't, Young Master. Please take us with you.”
“Saving Mesa is important, but your safety is our top priority, Young Master. In fact, it is too dangerous for you to chase them. Let's go back and ask for reinforcements from the clan together.”.
All the cadets raised their voices in disapproval.
According to the now dead assailants, there were a total of twenty members in their branch.
The cadets were right. Chasing them to save Mesa was foolish. Especially if he goes alone.
“And he probably lied when he said there were twenty of them. If we all die — including you, Young Master — the promise you made with him will be cancelled. Please make a careful assessment. ”
“Mesa is a friend we all love, but death happens regularly in missions. And if we immediately ask for reinforcements from the clan, he can be safely saved.”.
“Skot.”
"Yes, Young Master."
“As you said, deaths occur regularly in missions. But how could a legitimate Runcandel kid sit idly by and do nothing when a cadet is arrested?”
Jin calmly looked around, making eye contact with each cadet.
“I'm stronger than you all think. So stand up straight and follow my orders. Other objections will be considered defiance.”
All the cadets wiped their sad expressions. They could not say anything more because of Jin's strong tone and gaze.
“I wait impatiently for you all to grow stronger so that we can fight side by side in the future. I'm going to leave now. Oh, and Bellop.”
"Yes." Yeah."
“Because everyone from Group 2 has been injured, you are the strongest person after me now. Do you understand? You need not hesitate any more.”
"I'll remember it."
Now that all was said, Jin ran away because time was the most important thing.
All the cadets bowed towards him until he was lost from sight.
Currently, Jin had reached the spiritual release of 3-star, 3-star swordsmanship, and 4-star mana.
No one would believe it if someone said this was the ability and strength of a 15-year-old boy. However, it was still reckless to face twenty 4-star warriors simultaneously with this ability.
Furthermore, if a low-ranked minion was a 4-star warrior, it was likely that his superior was a 5-star or stronger.
However, Jin is confident enough to face them alone, as the enemy is unaware of his 'spiritual power' and 'miracle'.
Moreover, even though his swordsmanship was only 3-star, he had obtained knowledge of the secret books of countless martial clans. The chances of winning are not too low.
'I don't have to fight twenty opponents at the same time. They were all scattered, looking for cadets, so I only needed to deal with one small group at a time while looking for Mesa.’
Jin judged that there was enough distance between him and the cadets when he stopped.
As he calmed his breath, Jin created a mana ball in his right palm. He planned to use mana to search for enemies.
‘Sepience Seismic.’
Seismic Sense is a 3-star earth magic spell. As the name implies, this is a spell that detects the state of the ground, and is often used to detect earthquakes or other natural disasters.
In other words, it was not a proper spell to use to track down the enemy.
However, depending on the application and the link, magic has endless possibilities and uses. However, ordinary magicians need cooperation with others when trying to use application and link tricks.
Whooshing sound!
As the mana ball in Jin's right hand gradually seeped into the ground, Jin created a second mana ball in his left hand. This one is partially transparent like the wind attribute.
multicast.
This is a skill that most magicians around the world can only dream of mastering. Without a talent for it, even 7-star mages could not use this important skill.
Jin could use multicasting since his past life, as soon as he became a student of his magic teacher.
‘Wind Pursuit.’
The moment he finished chanting the second spell, the wind began to gather around the transparent mana. After the wind blew around Jin for a few seconds, he detected a slight reaction from the Seismic Sense and started flowing towards it.
The wind follows the information provided by the Seismic Sense.
'I'm lucky they're moving in the meadow. If they were in the forest, it would be difficult to track them even with these two spells.'
If the Kinzelo members pass through the forest, the trees and living things there will interfere with detection, making it almost impossible to find them.
Jin canceled his magic.
Multicasting consumes an extreme amount of mana, and if there are witches among the enemies, they can find out that they are being chased.
"They haven't gone too far."
After running for about an hour, Jin was finally able to see the physical traces of***** in the vicinity, such as the footprints or the flat grass.
As he was about to start running again, Jin gasped and immediately stopped all his movements.
When he checked the footprints again, the number of pairs had already reduced.
Dump it!
An arrow flew towards him through the tall grass. Jin easily dodged it and pointed his sword in the direction it came from.
There's trenches.
The attackers expected the cadets to follow them, and had dug a hole before.
“As I thought, a Runcandel cadet! Good move. I can understand why Chaph had trouble before. ”
“That kid dodged the arrow, Clark. Give me the gold coins!”
Three men wearing masks came out from the burrow and giggled amongst themselves.
It seemed like they had bet when they saw Jin: whether he could avoid a surprise attack or not.
“You made money thanks to that damn brat. Good for you."
The bet winner caught the coin and grinned as he pulled out his sword. Jin was still silently observing his opponents.
They consisted of one witch and two warriors.
'Aura and mana are not that strong. They should all be around the 4-star stage.
While Jin carefully assessed the strength of his enemy, the people concerned thought the boy was frozen in fear.
“Don't worry too much, Son. I have no habit of torturing people to death on purpose. We will end this as soon as.”
"But why is he alone? Where are all the other boys? ”
“They all must have been killed by Chaph and Greg, kekek.”
“About this Chaph and Greg, does one have a scar on his left cheek and the other is bald?”
When Jin spoke up for the first time, the two men burst into laughter.
“Bwahaha, the scar on his cheek is bald!!”
“Will be funny when we tell them about this, hahaha!”
However, one of them did not laugh. Magicians.
“You, how did you know about the appearance of Chaph and Greg?”
“Isn't it clear? I took off their masks to check after killing them. They fought against my subordinates, you know?”
The excitement in their eyes immediately disappeared. Jin still held his sword casually with an indifferent expression.
“Stop bluffing. Both of them were 4-star knights. They were not people who could be defeated by the novice class cadet Runcandel—”
“Did you really call that bastard who roared the children 'knight' in Kinzelo? Your group seems very different compared to the Runcandel.” Clan
“Clark, Mill. Check around us. It doesn't seem like it's just the kids on this mission. This kid's not a cadet. There must be a guard knight somewhere!”
The men don't seem to think that Jin could kill Chaph and Greg. Even if he was a pure-blooded Runcandel, they could not imagine that a child that had yet to fully develop had killed two 4-star knights.
Thus, the three of them immediately braced themselves. Death can come at any time for them. Before joining Kinzelo, they were either mercenaries or knights. And during those days, they had heard a lot about the strength of the guard knight Runcandel.
Pfft hahaha's…
Jin laughed a little.
“Although you guys are afraid of Runcandels, you did not think twice about attacking our cadets? There are no guard knights here. I came alone.”
“Omong empty!”
“If I had a protective knight with me, you guys wouldn't be able to have a casual chat like this. And if I have one with me, where can they hide in this plain? Also, there's no way our knights need to hide in front of three baboons like you.”
People are nervous about controlling their breath as they observe their surroundings. Jin's words were not wrong. There was nowhere to hide in this open area.
Thus, the men returned to their threatening and arrogant attitude.
They were embarrassed and humiliated by fearing a child like Jin—bocah who looked 20 years younger than them.
“You really came alone.I thought you were an arrogant boy who trusted his clan's knights, but you're just a stupid boy who doesn't know when to fear for his life.”
"You think so? That would be better for you guys..”.
Before letting Jin finish, Clark ran towards him and swung his sword at the boy's neck.
“If I was just an arrogant boy who trusted his clan's knights.”
“Dieee—urgh!”
Clark suddenly fell face down with a groan even though he was just about to kill Jin. One of his legs had been neatly cut without warning.
"I'm glad I bought time."
The cause of Clark's amputation is a spell called 'Wind Blade'. It was one of the hardest spells to use among 4-star wind magic spells.
Jin quietly prepared his spell while chatting with them.
“Clark! What kind of Runcandel uses magic..?!”
The witch began to cast spells to counterattack while Mills ran towards Jin angrily as she swung her sword.
"You bastard!"
Clangs!
Jin took a position as he fended off Mill's swing downward. The aura-covered attack felt heavy to Jin because of his immature body.
Nevertheless, a single 4-star knight did not matter to him.
As Jin spun around and aimed at Mill's side with his sword, the magician shouted.
"Mills, back!"
Holy hooch!
A huge flame had formed in the witch's palm. He then launched his spell, swung his arm, and flames shot towards the boy like a rope.
4-star flame Spell, Flame Whip. It was the strongest spell that the current mage Kinzelo could cast.
Jin did not dodge the attack and accepted it with his body. The corner of the witch's lips lifted as she saw her spell hit. Jin then uses the fact that his body was hidden by fire to stab Mills in the neck with Bradamante.
Slpr…!
With a knife around his neck, Mills couldn't even scream in pain and fell into the arms of death. The witch retreated in shock because she could not believe her eyes. The last member, Clark, was still on the floor, crying in pain while holding one of his legs.
Jin grabbed the Fire Whip that stuck to his robe with his hand and extinguished it. Sparks scattered around the moment where in the spell disappeared in the wind like ashes.
Since he had fully absorbed Phoenix Heart, all fire spells of 6-star or lower rank were unable to inflict any damage to Jin anymore.
"Damn it!"
The witch began to cast a new spell when she realized Jin had a high resistance to fire magic. Ice Shots. The same spell that attacked Jin's carriage on his way to the Garden of Swords.
“Don't approach me!”
The Icicle shot flew towards Jin, but this time, it broke and fell to the ground before even reaching him.
The Beast King Orgal Pendant. Where the artifact has protected Jin. Penetrating whichever pendant with a 5-star spell or lower would be difficult for magicians.
“B-How…! Owak!”
Bradamante drew a parabola while cutting the witch's waist. As Jin twisted the blade inside the man's body, the trembling magician bit into the dust.
"I have a good sister, that's it."
After finishing off Clark who was about to go into shock, Jin started running across the meadow again.
Clearly, he made sure to disguise Clark's injury as a sword slash instead of a magic attack before leaving.
