'Breath'
A type of 'ic' where Mana in its most elementary form was fired out
Theit in the distant past, and thus this attack became a romantic ideal of sorts, but still, the level of destructive power each Breath attack possessed was definitely horrifying to behold
Sae-Jin came to the Monster field to train his own Breath that would no doubt become one of his main attacks whether he was in the human's appearance or as a Leviathan - all the while suddenly choosing to wear a robe usually worn by other Wizards while carrying a single elegant wooden stick thingy and accompanied by a drone fitted with a camera
It was shaped like a lengthy, slick pole, and the tip was rounded off - indeed, this was a ic staff crafted with Kim Sae-Jin's own hands From afar, it kinda looked as if he made it out from a broken branch of a tree, but when inspected close by, there was this 'vintage' charm to its overall shape
On top of this, Sae-Jin also attached a ruby-like jewel on it that featured the attributes of 'Mana Amplification' and 'increase spell's power' - in terms of market value, this staff would easily cost nearly 30habit, so…
”…Mm”
He was rounds, dressed up as… the Wizard of Bangbae-Dong He even checked to e captured would be uploaded to the blog, too
He deliberately cah, there weren't all thatStill, Sae-Jin covered his face even round
Kkkkiiiieeeeck-!!
When he walked around for 30 minutes or so, he finally ran into a fairly substantial Monster that do like a Griffin, fine, but a Wyvern, a High Tier Monster, in the upper Mid Tier hunting ground? It was probably a typical example of how chaotic the activities of Monsters had become lately
”Well, this is good”
Sae-Jin pointed the staff at the Wyvern and focused his Mana flowing inside the body onto his new baby Reddish Mana focused on the ruby, and this cri hotly, and then…
KWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
…It twisted and distorted as it pounced upon the airborne Wyvern
The Breath: hell's Flaround only needed less than one second to reach the Wyvern
Kkiiieeeck…
The flao The creature let out a tragic screas
Too bad, the devilish flao out, no matter what
Wuuuooong—
Sae-Jin gathered Mana around his staff again This time, rather than red colour, the flow of Mana emitted a pure white hue, like the surface of ice
The chilling Mana pooling around the staff rapidly froze the world The molecules of air froze into tiny frost particles and scattered away, settling on the surface of his robe as a thin layer of ice
SFX for solid ice blocks cracking open
As the land Sae-Jin stood on froze up in white, a Breath of freezing storm rushed out from the staff this time around
This cold Breath even ed to freeze the sky as it reached the hapless Wyvern And when it was combined with the hell's flames, they caused a massive explosion
KWAHAHANG!!!
The big and powerful Wyvern was reduced to ashes and bits of frost froht of flaround
”…Ho-oh”
As its body had been completely annihilated, there was no loot to recover, but still, this show of power had truly i, so hoerful would it be in the Leviathan's Forher
”I wonder how good was the footage…”
He turned his attention towards the hovering drone and muttered to himself
”What types of reactions would they show…?”
Nowadays, Sae-Jin was derivingthe surprised faces of those overly proud Wizards, as well as at those two faced people who publicly tried to cut down the Wizard of Bangbae-Dong out of jealousy but inwardly coveted what he possessed
What would their reactions be like, after he uploads this video on the blog?
Would they deny the truth right in front of their eyes and claiht of the staff? Or would they accept the gap in their abilities and his, and kneel down in defeat? Of course, judging frohty actions of many Wizards so far, most of them would choose the former option
”…Mm?”
While he stood there feeling rather pleased with hie from Hazeline arrived
[Sae-Jung just left We can talk now]
Sae-Jin sent back his own short reply and headed back to the exit
Afterin detail
The horrifying future that Ki with an offshoot of Vampires called Nosferatus in order to stop that future fro
This information was a sensitive top secret that should never be told to anyone, but the person hearing it was Hazeline, and Sae-Jin felt less of a pressure precisely because of that
That was how trustworthy and reliable a person she was
After hearing all of this, Hazeline's eyes opened up extra round and all she could do was to open and close her oldfish, completely speechless
Actually, she couldn't say anything From her point of viehat Sae-Jin told her just now sounded like a surrealistic fantasy
”…Would you like to help me?” (Sae-Jin)
”…Eh? W, wait… Hold on S, so, if I try to unpack everything Mister Sae-Jin has told me…” (Hazeline)
Hazeline swept her wet hair back, see out of her forehead
”In the future, our world will head towards apocalypse, because of the Vampires… and in order to stop these Vampires, we need to ally ourselves with other Vaht?” (Hazeline)
”Hmm… More or less But, please, do try to separate Nosferatus and Va” (Sae-Jin)
Of course, Sae-Jin still found this group of Nosferatus not that easy to fully trust But, he couldn't forget the fact that they handed a Leviathan's scale over to hi the real deal, sos that were impossible to ith
That Lillia woents to the hidden sanctuary while saying, ”If we show even an inkling of betrayal, you can wipe us all out with your strengthened Leviathan For the scale”
”S, so, these Nosferatus…” (Hazeline)
To Hazeline, as unaware of these events, all Vaardless of what they were called
”Us Elves are enemies with Vampires, you know…” (Hazeline)
She looked soony as she covered her face
The Mafia, the Triads, the Yakuza, rebels and revolutionaries, governht have received lots of 'commissions' from many different clients in the past, but an operation of this scale, and working together with Vampires no less, was a first even for her
”…If you don't feel up to it, you can always decline But, youyou've heard today as a secret,” said Sae-Jin
Suddenly, Hazeline lowered the hands covering her face, rested her chin on one, and with a strange look in her eyes, stared at Sae-Jin
”…As a secret?” (Hazeline)
”Yes, of course With the exception of you, Miss Hazeline, there isn't anyone else I can talk to about this You're the first person to hear this secret a all my acquaintances”
Although the fa other's trust played a part in his decision, Sae-Jin also implicitly believed in Hazeline as well Even if he didn't use the Eyes of the Wolf and see into her heart, she was still a person he knew the longest after all
”…Even Sae-Jung doesn't know?” (Hazeline)
”Eh? Oh… Yes T, that's right”
Before he could answer, though, he did become a bit conscious of this decision The reason why he didn't tell Yu Sae-Jung was because this operation was going to be very dangerous Depending on hoas interpreted, it could be seen as a sort of discrimination
”Is that so…?” (Hazeline)
But it was a weird thing - her eyes regained her calrin, and even her nostrils flared just a little Her coly showed how pleased she was
Sae-Jin scratched his head while asking her
”Have you come to a decision?” (Sae-Jin)
”…By the way, if I decide to participate, then doesn't that mean ill have to see each other more often from now on~? You did say we need to come up with a plan” (Hazeline)
