The Young Son Swordmaster
eps 37's
Before Jin—'s setback when he had just been kicked out of Sword Park—there was a time when he wandered from country to country, sleeping in the open.
He had lost his purpose in life after being expelled from his clan and surviving like a cripple on the streets. But everything changes when he meets his magic teacher.
Nevertheless, until the day he meets his master, Jin has seen and experienced many kinds of villains and rascals in the dark alleys where no one enters.
Little thieves, robbers, beggars, alcoholics, etc. They live like tomorrow, and are loyal to their desires.
"The most prominent among them are drug addicts."
Drug addict.
Those people could not survive for another day without their medicines. Without their 'medicine', they would sit lifelessly with empty eyes and a foaming mouth. But if someone offers them drugs, it is second nature for them to be willing to carve their heart to pay.
Ten times out of ten. One hundred out of a hundred. A thousand of a thousand!
Every drug addict Jin sees is the same, without exception.
There are some rare people who manage to stop their addiction with their superpowers and return to the usual lifestyle, but quite clearly, they are one in a million.
After all, according to Jin's observations and the documents he had read, Alkaro Tzendler was not someone with a strong determination.
“Fuck! Please, help me, okay? I don't think I can last another hour without him. Please, I beg you..”
Alkaro threw himself on the floor and put his hands together, pleading with his bodyguards.
The guards of the Hidden Palace all wore calm looks, but Jin noticed a hint of disgust in their gazes that appeared for a moment.
“As I said before, it can't be done. Our job is to prioritize your safety, Young Master. Please remember that we are not here to babysit you. If you keep raging, we should—”
“Aaaaargh! I don't care! Be quiet! If you don't give me the medicine, then I'll do something myself! Damn, just wait. After my lover returns, you all lose your mind! Your head, did you hear it?! I'll make sure you're all executed!"
“Haa.”
"Huh? Did you just breathe? Am I a joke to you? You lowly guard! You little pleb bastard doesn't matter! I'm from Tzend—”
Big punch!
A guard suddenly punched Alkaro in the stomach. The arrogant drug trembled on the spot for a few seconds before fainting.
“Sialang. How much longer do we have to protect this shit?”
“I wish he died of an overdose or something. Just why did his master keep this nonsense alive …? ”
"Sunny. We just need to fulfill the mission that has been assigned to us. You must not involve your personal feelings.”
The guards brought the unconscious Alkaro back to the room.
After witnessing the entire scene, Jin felt like he had found a treasure chest filled with gold.
'Alkaro's relationship with his bodyguards is the worst. And it looks like he'll be willing to do anything to get drugs once he wakes up.'
Hm…
As he drank the beer brought by the inn clerk, Jin pondered to himself. Killing Alkaro would not be a difficult task in the end.
The drugged young master's rampage will get worse as time goes on. And if his explosions were to be repeated, Jin would have more chances to kill him over the next few days.
Whether he used magic, spiritual power, or an ordinary old dagger, killing Alkaro would be an easy matter.
'But the problem is the consequences. I need to find a way to avoid the guards and return home safely after I kill him.'
That was the most difficult aspect of this mission.
It was impossible to kill him in broad daylight inside the inn and escape alive. A 6-star guard or higher was much more physically capable than Jin and could chase after him in no time.
Poison won't work either. If Jin lures Alkaro with drugs and kills him using poison, the entire Mamite will be in an uproar.
The largest unwritten taboo in a lawless city is the use of poison.
Chief Jin started to get sick as he tried to make a plan. Killing Alkaro inside the Moonlight Well using traditional methods was impossible.
Bang.
After downing his beer, Jin put the cup back on the table in a fervent manner.
"I've made my decision."
Jin has found a strategy.
He was about to carry out a terror attack on the Moonlight Well using magic from inside his room.
The Well of the Moonlight is the inn where the Mamite kings lived.
A building where the most famous and prominent figures gather among the worst criminals of Mamit. As soon as the terror attack begins, this Mamit 'king' will counterattack and track down the culprit.
Moreover, their main suspect was a 6-star mage or higher'.
'If I cast a 4-star spell and increase its effect with spiritual energy, it should be as strong as a 6-star spell. The most effective way was to use the 'Summon Lightning' lightning spell and strengthen its firepower.'
Who in the world would believe that a 15-year-old was a 6-star magician?
There aren't. There is not a single soul.
Even Beradin Zipfel—candidate to become the next patriarch of Zippel—just became a 6-star magician at the age of 18, shaking the whole world with his genius.
Blindly blinding a 6-star spell at the age of 15 was impossible, even for the geniuses of the Zippel Clan.
'No need to think too much about this. I will fill my room with spiritual energy to cover the traces of magic being cast.'
When something was enveloped in spiritual energy, its existence and existence became faint, no matter what it was.
Jin once threw a dagger covered in spiritual energy and easily managed to kill a 4-star warrior. Mana and aura were also not exceptions to this rule. Jin was confident that he could easily hide a 4-star spell with his spiritual energy.
Thus, guests living in the Moonlight Well would believe that the terror attack came from outside.
There was no way the powerful Mamit king would not realize which one had suddenly been produced within the inn. Therefore, they trust their senses and believe that the culprit is outside.
'I will strengthen the Summon Lightning spell and drop it in the Moonlight Well. I might get hurt too, but I'll be fine since I brought the Orgal.’ Pendant
Orgal's pendant can negate most 5-star or lower magic spell effects. 6-star and beyond were a little more dangerous, but the power of the pendant's cancellation wasn't entirely useless.
'With my current mana and spiritual energy, I thought I could use the amplified Summoning Lightning spell four times. If I cast a spell four times in a different area of the inn, it would create an uproar among the guests.'
Meanwhile, Jin would pretend to be injured and walk around the inn. And once he finds Alkaro, he'll kill him and finish the job.
"I've always been annoyed by my young age, but sometimes it helps a lot."
As the name implies, Summon Lightning is a spell that strikes a person with a flash of lightning that suddenly falls from the sky. It only lasted for a moment; so, it would be difficult for people to realize that there was spiritual energy mixed in with his spell.
And even if one were to actually see the dark energy in a lightning strike, it was likely that they would only think of it as an unknown variant of a normal spell. Spiritual power is not very well-known all over the world, whereas all kinds of magic variants exist all over the continent.
Jin's regression, his spiritual power, along with his innate talent with magic.
Had he lost one of these, he would not even have thought of attempting a terror attack on the Moonlight Well.
'No need to wait a few more days. We never know what those drug addicts will do if I wait too long. I will start the plan at noon tomorrow.
Rather than attacking at night or midnight when most people are sleeping, it would be much more efficient to attack in broad daylight.
The more people watched the 6-star Lightning Summoning spell with their own eyes, the more beneficial it was for Jin.
10:30 MORNING.
Jin went down to the lobby and ordered a late breakfast. He was served freshly baked bread, boiled eggs, and soup.
This was all part of his plan. He had to behave like every other guest staying at the Moonlight Well and start his morning as a normal human being.
Five Mamite kings were also in the lobby with breakfast. They grinned as they felt a feeble aura emanating from Jin.
"Child. You seem to be talented enough for your age, but you shouldn't stay too long in this city with that skill level. You will only be harmed if you cause problems. ”
One of the five spoke to the boy.
“Thank you for the suggestion. But there's someone I need to find. I'll make sure I don't cause any problems for the people who live here. ”
“Haha, what a tame sheep. Even though you are a ferocious wolf that killed someone with a dagger in just an instant not too long ago.”
“You are on a completely different level compared to those drunkards. I know my place and know when not to cross the line.”
“You're doing enough. Good, I will allow you to stay here for a few more days. ”
"Thank you very much. I will never forget how the Mamit kings took care of me even after I left town.”
Jin slightly lowered his head and left his seat, returning to his room. The Mamit kings found her charming demeanor and started chatting with each other.
“Mamit is done. See, even brats like him come and go as they please now.”
“Well, I'm sure he'll be gone after a few days. Otherwise, he might be killed by some lowly people in the area.”
“Stay, he looks like a pretty good boy. Maybe I should recruit him into our organization as a rookie.”
“Do not. He might end up paralyzed if you let your people loose around him because of his good looks.”
Swahahahah!
All the kings of Mamit laughed out loud.
'My manners are adequate? Ludicrous rubbish.”
After returning to his room, Jin also burst into laughter. He found it amusing that the bastard who had committed some of the worst crimes in town became a supporter of manners and decency. He could not wait to drop some lightning on their heads.
Jin sat cross-legged in the middle of the room.
He closed his eyes and released spiritual energy. Before long, a smoky dark energy began to seep out from his entire body. To start an attack during the day, he had to diligently prepare for the smaller details early on.
'I will fill the entire room with spiritual energy so that no one can feel anything from the outside.'
Since his room was small, he could cover and fill every small gap within an hour.
This hour was the most important step of the plan. If someone came to his room during this time, his plans would fall apart.
He could constantly hear footsteps outside his room, in the corridor. It was the sound of the employees cleaning the place, and the guests leaving and entering their rooms.
'Well, I have to take a risk. Otherwise, I won't be able to achieve anything.’
The genie correctly begins a spiritual release. As the room filled with more dark energy, the noises from outside the door became increasingly dim. This gave Jin a sense of security and calm.
Hours passed. The room was filled with spiritual energy, as if ink had permeated every surface and into the air. One cannot distinguish the outline of furniture. It was basically identical to total darkness.
The only entity that retains color in the room is Jin.
"Should I say, pretty perfect job, Jin."
Phew.
Jin regained control of his breathing and wiped away the sweat on his forehead. All that was left to do was produce mana and prepare to take out Summon Lightning.
'I will make the spiritual energy in the room disappear by putting it into the last Summoning Lightning spell. After that, all that was left to do was shout and run out of the room, pretend to be injured, and check whether Alkaro was alive or not.’.
A simple but effective strategy.
As Jin praised himself and his plan, he began to gather mana in both hands.
Wean! The crack!
Blue electricity flowed on his arm into his hand as it produced many sounds. However, not a single soul could hear the sound outside the room, as Jin had planned.
Furthermore, strands of spiritual energy like ropes were mixed into the electricity.
'Call Lightning.'
Boooooooom!
The first lightning strike fell into the Moonlight Well, destroying half the roof of the building.
“Aaarg—!”
Before the victims could scream in pain, before the unharmed could raise their heads to look up at the sky...
The second line of dark blue lightning struck the Moonlight Well. It was the second attack.
People started running out of the ashes and destroying the guest room, screaming for their lives.
“What... Looks like I picked the wrong day to come here.”
And a certain girl—who would set foot inside the Moon— Light Well tilted her head in confusion as she looked at this spectacle.
