Volume 6 Chapter 139 Extermination

Pardon?

Startled, Jin stared at Kidard.

Are you telling me to test the overload spells on the people of Romp?

Thats right. Why are you making that face on this happy day? I have an opportunity to look at Schugiel Histers magic tome, and you received the Tome of Overload. With each others life on the line, I feel that our trust has been solidified.

No words came out of his mouth. After some silence, Kidard nodded as if he understood.

Oh, Huell. Have you never killed someone before? Even in your mercenary days?

Jin suppressed the swears and curses that were about to erupt from his throat. He shook his head.

Extreme Overload magic.

For the past ten days, he learned that it was a magic used to induce an overload to not only a magician, but also a normal person.

Apart from normal overload, it was possible to induce a fatal overload with the innate but miniscule amount of mana within a human.

Furthermore, Jin was a beginner, so he had no way of controlling the destructive power. Which was why Kidard suggested experimenting on the common folkto adjust the magics force.

Its not that. I just find it a little surprising.

What is?

Kidard quickly turned his head and with a slight anger in his eyes.

Arent they just normal, innocent citizens? If you tell me to use them as test subjects for my magical achievement

Ha! Huell Hister. Listen carefully!

Kidard shouted and grabbed Jins shoulders.

Dont be scared of killing some bugs. You have a talent that the sky has bestowed upon you, and your worth and value is on a different level than them. They become your resources, and that is fate!

A violence that he had never seen before.

Kidard breathed heavily, continuing to spew his contempt.

Do you know who I was when I achieved 9-star? A common folk who couldnt get any help from anyone. You cant avoid becoming a monster, Huell. If you do, then you cant become the best.

Master

Those with monetary backgrounds do worse than this. They can get test subjects and buy expensive equipment all with ease. However, when I was young, I had to flounder about despite having more talent than others.

Listening to his complaints about capitalism and privilege was painful, but Jin just listened along.

I, like you, was uncomfortable. However, back then, if someone had opened my eyes I would have instantly known that I am worth much more than the millions of bugs crawling about in this world. I wish someone told me earlier that its fine to use them however I want.

Jostle, jostle.

Kidard held Jins shoulders and vigorously shook him back and forth.

Kidard Hall of Profusion would have been in a higher position. Huell, you need not face losses like I did. All you need to do is to learn from my mistakes and failures for free.

As Kidard spat his monologue, Jins eyes slowly looked at the ground.

Just as Jin had seen this side of Kidard for the first time, it was also a first for Kidard to see Jins tired look.

A little more. Just a little more, and he would concede to these harsh words.

Kidard firmly believed that thought.

Huell, if it werent for me, your talents wouldnt have had the opportunity to flourish. You would have lived the rest of your boring life as a third-rate magician. Now that you possess the Tome of Overload, show me your resolve. If not, I will kick you out.

K-Kick me out?

Its that important. You must master the technique by killing other bugsnot just the bugs in Romp City. If you cant accept that, I have no intention of keeping you here.

Please give me some time to think, Master.

Kidard hid his smile and looked into Jins trembling eyes.

Yeah, itll be hard to understand at first. But Huell, as you use those bugs, you will understand why the world is split into geniuses and the ordinary.

He truly believed that this was for his apprentice. Kidard had lived with killing his entire life and achieved 9-star. He was living proof that his cruel but logical training method was effective.

Jin lowered his head.

I was foolish, Master. Honestly, I cant accept it completely but I will try to follow your lead.

Are you lying because you are scared of getting disposed of?

No, sir. If it werent for you, Id either be rotting away in the Meltador Magic Academy or be killed by the Zipfels. If I dont trust you, Id have no other path.

Hm!

Hes a smart kid. My eyes didnt fail me.

Kidard swallowed those words and stroked Jins hair. He was actually worried about what he would do if Jin chose to quit.

Ill be back. However, we should never have a day like this ever again. I have achieved many things while walking through hell, and Im trying to give it all to you. My apprentice, you are no different than my clone.

Yes, Master. I will keep that in mind.

Good Now, tomorrow night, if you use those bugs without remorse, I will offer you a reward. This master of yours doesnt only have overload spells in his sleeves. From elemental spells to cursesevery time you succeed, Ill teach you one.

Curses.

After hearing that word, Jins expression almost faltered.

I dont want to learn that from you. Nor do I need it.

There was no need to wait anymore.

Master, before tomorrow night, I would like to ask something of you.

What is it?

Please demonstrate the Extreme Overload spell.

Of course

On my body. Try it out.

Before Kidard could ask why, Jin continued.

I want to know where I should induce a mana overload in order to achieve the best outcome. So I can get the hang of it as fast as possible.

Kuhaha! Yes, thats the right thought process. Im proud! If you kill over five bugs, then the knights from the capital will come. So we would have to evacuate right after. I havent thought of that.

Kiiiiiiiiiing! Ching!

A sharp screech resounded, and in Kidards hand, mana for overload magic gathered to form a sphere.

Ill show you now. You need to recover before tomorrow night. Also, as an overload magic user, you should know how it feels at least once.

Thank you.

You may already know this since you looked into the magic tomes on Extreme Overload, but this spells name is Overload Vortex. You basically create a force that pulls and steals the opponents mana, and with it, you induce an overload. This is the spell you will practice tomorrow.

Yes, this is the spell I practiced while you were in Vankella.

Now, I will accelerate the spin of this mana sphere, and itll begin to suck the mana out of you from head to toe. I will concentrate on each part of your body, so focus on where it is the most painful.

Jin stepped back and closed his eyes.

Im starting.

Screeeeeeeech!

Kidards Overload Vortex began to rotate rapidly.

From Jins body, tiny mana particles emerged from his skin and flew into the spinning vortex.

Then, a flood of blue particles flowed out of his body. It looked as if the mana wrapped around him.

What?!

And as soon as Kidard noticed it, he couldnt hide his surprise.

I cast the highest level suited for a 7-star so that he could feel the pain clearly, but why dont I feel the slightest hint of mana overload? Huh?!

Kidard looked at his Overload Vortex.

Crrrrack.

A crack began to form on the sphere.

N-No way. Huell was far beyond 7-star! No, it cant be. Ill raise the intensity.

Screeeeeeeeeech! Shhhhhhht!

The spheres spin accelerated, and the light blue mana emerging from Jins body grew a little darker.

Kidard was using mana close to that of a veteran 8-star. Jin had his eyes closed without any change in expression.

The Overload Vortex couldnt handle the mana that Jin had.

The mirror artifacts infinite mana.

Kidard only realized something was wrong when the sphere began to expand.

Kullam.

When Jin first came to the city, he had already activated the Fountain of Mana.

Just for this moment.

Kzzzzzzk! Boom!

The Overload Vortex disfigured and exploded. Kidard gathered all of his energy to contain the mana.

Visit ., for the best no_vel_read_ing experience

However, even though he was a 9-star magician, he was still human. He couldnt handle the mirrors infinite mana. It was as if he were trying to block a waterfall with his hands.

Kidard absorbed the mana he used to cast the intense Overload Vortex together with the mirrors infinite mana. His body began to show signs of mana overload, and the overload began to spread.

Kidard Hall. You would know best of the horrifying suffering brought about by overload.

C-CoughAAARRRGH!

Blood spilled out from all orifices on Kidards face as he began to tremble. Jin slowly walked towards him.

You mustve lived without knowing

Urgh, wh-who?

Kidards face was covered in blood.

His two eyes filled with shock, and his two legs shivered, unable to handle the pain caused by mana overload.

Thud!

Losing his strength, Kidard kneeled and barely held his head up to look at Jin.

H-Huueellll! How could you?!

Fifteen years ago, you tried to curse a little baby at the Storm Castle. Do you remember the babys name, Kidard?

Y-Yoooouuuu!

I am not Huell Hister, but Jin Runcandel.

Shing

Jin pulled out a blue dagger from his sleeve and looked down at his enemy.

He recalled the 28 pathetic years that he lived in his past life. He had to go through hell all because of that damned cursethe damned Bladed Illusion.

It took almost 44 years to find out that Joshua ordered Taimyun to tell you to curse me.

Please Cough! No

I didnt have a chance to beg for mercy back then, Kidard. I was only one year old.

Jin dyed his dagger with spiritual energy, and Kidard rapidly shook his head as he began to convulse. Blood spewed out from his mouth, staining Jins clothes.

Jin slowly lowered his torso and took Schugiel Histers magic tome from Kidards robe.

Your pathetic 80 years cant compensate for my 44 years, but Ill use the Tome of Overload very well.

S-Save me Cough

Stab.

The darkened blade pierced Kidards cheek, and foamy blood erupted from his mouth. Death. Kidards body slackened, and Jin walked away.

Swinging the dagger across the wall, he left a message.

(You will not die peacefully like this man.

Jin Grey)

So that Joshua Runcandelhis older brothercould see.
