The Young Son Swordmaster
eps 6's
The next morning, Jin went to the hole that the twins had dug.
It seems that the twins did not use any small tricks. They've dug a hole quite seriously. Inside the deep hole, Jin could see a golden-colored stone wall on the bottom side.
Currently, there were 7 guard knights, 2 nannies and a dozen servants in the castle. Of course, the Tona twins are here as well.
No one will come here looking for Jin or suspect him of planning something.
"Telling them that I want to come here to pray for a dead bird is a pretty good reason."
Recently, the members of the Runcandel Clan living in Storm Castle were wary of Jin. The youngest son of the patriarch did not behave like a child, and was very mature.
In fact, some are more than just vigilant. Many are afraid of the 7-year-old. The servants gossiped about him, saying that he was a perfect copy of his cold-hearted father, and the protective knights obeyed him as if he was their superior.
But when Jin said that he was going to go pray for the bird, they were all relieved. They think that although Cyron Runcandel's son, a child is still a child.
'I pray that you find happiness in your next life.'
Jin did not lie when he said he would pray for the bird. He really is pity.
As soon as he finished moving the bird's grave to the bottom of the deep hole the twins had dug, Jin approached the stone wall beside him. There were scratches made by the shovel on its surface.
The walls themselves are not very strong. There were no metal rods or wires inside to increase its durability, so Jin could easily crush it with a shadow-wrapped punch.
However, destroying it like that would definitely create a loud explosion.
The continuous rain outside somewhat muffled the sound, but the 7-star knights in the castle would most likely catch the sound.
"Ha ha ha."
Jin suddenly laughed as he could not help himself. He then stretched out his hand and placed his hand against the wall. Immediately, the stone walls started to tremble a little.
A wroooom!
It was a 1-star earth magic spell, 'Earth Resonance'.
Earth Resonance is a spell that witches often use when camping outside or exploring the wild, but its death rate is almost zero.
"I've been dying to use magic!"
Practicability and fun using magic!
He had not felt this liberating sensation for the past 7 years. Since he had retained his memories and knowledge from his past life, being unable to use magic since he was born was like a punishment for Jin.
Magic, the power of a witch.
When he first realizes that he has been reborn, Jin wonders how he should start learning magic and saving mana again…
However, his worries were unfounded. Just like how the power of Solderet was still available to him, the mana he had accumulated during his previous life was also accessible in this new life.
'The only problem is that there is a limit to the amount of mana I can use now because of my immature body. But it's better than nothing!’
In his past life, Jin would reach 6-star realm in magic after training for 3 years.
Right now, the amount of mana Jin could use was equivalent to a 1-star mage, but that would increase over time as he grew up.
Every time he aged for another year, he could feel more mana being produced within him. Moreover, it is a natural occurrence. Jin hasn't practiced to improve anything or anything.
Therefore, he came to the conclusion that the mana he had accumulated in his past life had slowly returned to him over the years.
'1-star magician at 7 years old! I'm sure no one else in history has achieved this feat. At this speed, I will reach 6 stars before I turn 20 at the latest.’
The life of both is much more favorable and favorable compared to the first.
He was very happy and excited at this moment. At the age of 7, Jin was able to harness his spiritual power and mana, along with his knowledge and expertise in 3-star swordsmanship and 5-star magic.
Furthermore, he could now learn the secret books of countless martial clans around the world that were looted by the Runcandel Clan! His motivation was at its peak at the moment, and it would not subside for a long time.
'Heh, I really am a witch to the point. I never thought I would be so happy to use a simple spell like Earth Resonance.'
The time he could use magic within the Runcandel Clan was very limited.
One could even say that until recently, Jin had no other chance to use magic. There is hardly a case when Jin is alone without anyone accompanying him.
Gilly would always be with her, and in rare cases when she was absent, the guard knights and servants would be by her side. And if, by some miracle, none of them were next to Jin, the Tona twins would come to disturb him.
Because of this, Jin never had a chance to use magic. There was also no time when he had no other choice but to use magic.
Although Jin could now push the twins like his servant, he could not use magic and was captured by them.
If word gets out to her parents or brother that Jin has been using magic.
'I have to seal my magic for a while after today. Unable to be arrested. But one day, I will find a way to use magic as much as I want. Just wait.’
As he licked his lips in anticipation, Jin once again focused on his hand that was stuck to the wall. The sensation of mana flowing through his hands and fingers, and spreading all over the wall made his spine goosebumps.
Ssssssst…
So, 10 minutes passed quietly. The Earth Resonance vibration secretly created dozens of cracks and cracks on the walls. Dirt and dust were falling down profusely, as if a stone wall was about to collapse.
Krrev!
In fact, the middle of the wall where Jin's hand was located shattered into fine particles. A small hole appeared, where Jin could barely squeeze his body. The boy stared at the scene behind the wall for a while.
There was a long old passage—as if he was in the ancient ruins—along with a large steel gate in the distance.
It was a mistake to think that the secret dungeons of the Runcandel Clan could be easily broken into.
'The Storm Fortress' was a fortress that even the elite forces of the Zippel Clan would not be able to easily conquer. Jin was only lucky because he was a member of the Runcandel Clan living inside the castle.
'So this is an underground secret sector that only the flag bearer Runcandel can enter... Interesting layout.'
Flag bearer.
They were representatives of the clan who stood at the forefront, waving the clan emblem.
All the children of the Runcandel Clan became flag bearers when they reached a certain level, except for a few exceptions like the previous Jin who were considered incompetent.
Jin had heard many stories about this dungeon from his brothers. He, who could only imagine the miracle lurking within, was finally able to see it with his own eyes.
Jin slightly choked, as if something deep in his heart had appeared.
"I didn't think it would affect me this much, but seeing it for myself, my emotions reacted unconsciously."
Phew…
After exhaling and calming down, Jin squeezed himself into the hole.
He could not leave any traces of mud in the corridor.
The road was dimly lit by several torches on the wall, where oil was dripping down.
Jin was about to make a fire with magic to illuminate the place, but decided to take one of the torches instead. Walking down the worn-out corridor barefoot with a torch in hand, he felt like he had become a monk.
'Mommy used to tell me that before reaching that door, the children of Runcandel needed to prove that they were part of the bloodline.'
Jin remembers hearing about it when he was about 16 years old.
At that time, Rosa still believed that her youngest child would one day become an honorable member of the clan.
He could not accept the fact that his son was not talented, and had distorted expectations of him.
Rosa secretly breaks the clan rules to provide Jin with secret information, despite the fact that he is not a genius like his brothers.
He wanted to believe that one day Jin would become a 6-star knight and receive qualification as a flag bearer.
Rosa Runcandel, the Black Panther, is one of the strongest men in the clan and the world. However, the reason why she could not have an objective view and judgment of Jin was simply because she was a mother.
Her mother's.
"Although that was the case, he finally faced and accepted reality later."
Jin stopped reminiscing about the past and stopped his steps towards the iron door.
He's in the middle of the corridor. There were still about 50 more steps until he reached the gate.
'Runcandels and magic...?'
Pffts.
Jin could not help but laugh as he looked at the magic circle on the floor.
It was a huge magic circle, but even an apprentice magician could easily analyze it.
The Magic Circle of Blood and Barrier.
It was a popular magic circle that was often found at the entrance of the kingdom, or within the storehouses of businessmen, or at the headquarters of famous mercenary groups.
Although the name was impressive and majestic, it was a basic circle.
It is no different from a simple security device. All one could do was determine if one would pose a threat through one's blood.
'That magic-hating clan member actually placed a magic-circle in front of the clan's secret room? Not only that, the circle is very thin!’
Jin bit the inside of his cheek. Traces of blood seeped out from his mouth and flowed down his chin. Before he could fall to the floor, Jin caught the blood with his hand.
Drops, drops…
All he needed was a few drops to activate the Blood Magic Circle and the Barrier. As he flicked the blood in his hand into a circle, a blue aura began to fill the air from all four directions.
'Do you know that we are part of the bloodline? Really joke.
Jin was curious to know who among his ancestors was foolish enough to place this magic circle here.
This magic circle was not complicated enough to be able to verify one's bloodline and bloodline. In fact, Jin wasn't sure if such magic existed in the first place.
There are only 3 things that can be determined by this magic circle.
It could detect whether the blood was from monsters, humans, or plague-stricken humans.
In other words, as long as they could reach this underground corridor, any healthy human could safely activate this magic circle.
The magic circle was completely useless, except for how it added an atmosphere of mystery into this hidden ancient room.
'They believe in a strange superstition called the Selection ritual. They also believe that this magic circle is capable of recognizing the pure-blooded Runcandel. This clan is quite. Very strange.’
Clangs! Clangs! The kreaak….!
With the activation of the circle, Jin could hear the gears and metal parts grinding and moving under the floor.
The circle stops the trapping operation—the trap that will attack Jin if he does not activate the magic circle. He quietly stood still and waited for the noise to subside.
'There are enough traps. I don't know the specifics, but the traps here are more complicated than those found in the royal palace.'
The magic circle immediately began to dim, and lost its luster. All traps have been deactivated. Jin continued on his way and headed for the door.
He had safely handled one of the Storm Castle's secret room security systems. All that remains is to open the door safely.
But it was even easier to do than activate the magic circle.
“The descendants of Runcandel have come to entertain Murakan.”
The kreaak!
The gate started to open as soon as Jin said the password.
It was another type of 'blocking magic' that was similar to the magic circle just now, but was on a completely different level. It was a spell cast by the great dragon, who had since fallen into a deep slumber.
The password disables the spell, but without the correct words, the door will never open. That was the potential of this barrier magic.
One must at least be a 9-star knight to break down the door.
'I heard the password from my second brother before my rebirth, even though he was being sarcastic, saying that it would never be useful to me.'
Location of Storm Castle: Murakan Mountain Peak.
The name 'Murakan' does not mean mountain in the first place. It was the name of the Black Dragon that had once ruled this region.
Murakan was defeated 1000 years ago by the first patriarch Runcandel, and fell into a deep sleep after giving up Storm Castle.
This story is the most popular legend of the Runcandel Clan, known to everyone around the world.
The first thing Jin saw when the door opened was not a shelf with countless books, but a glass coffin.
Inside the glass coffin was a human body. It was the murmur that had turned into a human before entering deep sleep.
'Nobody told me about this ...'
Ba-dumps, Ba-dumps.
Upon discovering the unexpected sight, Jin's body froze in shock and agitation.
He then slowly started approaching the glass coffin9
