Bellop wasn’t the type of person to ask hi Master ordered him to close his eyes, he would close his eyes Once Bellop did so, Jin covered the dagger in spiritual energy
Spiritual power could enhance the cutting and destructive power of a weapon like aura
However, it had one y, the object’s existence and presence thins out Therefore, it could greatly increase the chances of success of a surprise attack, especially if one accurately threw the dagger withouta sound
‘Listen carefully, Bellop As soon as I’o attack the enemy on the left’
Swoosh!+
As soon as he finished whispering, Jin threw the darkened dagger The blade cut the wind as it zooed itself in the back of the righth”
The attacker that inging his sword around i But before his ally on the left could even turn his head to check on hi his sword down the surviving enemy’s back
The assailant quickly noticed the attack and turned around to parry Bellop’s sword, but had his Achilles tendon cut by Jin’s follow-up surprise attack
“Argh!”
Thud! Thump!
Jin didn’t reap the attacker’s life immediately, and striked the back of his head and his temple with the poround half-unconscious, Jin pressed his knee onto his nape and co Master!”
The Group 2 cadets ran up to Jin Their faces were painted with relief and hope for their survival, but was soon followed by the despair of having ruined the young ht? Do you knoho sent this bastard?”
Jin sla and wheezing He also put th in his knee to dunk the assailant’s head in the mud
“We’re okay But Mesa was… captured by the Master”
Sigh
Jin exhaled deeply and grabbed the surviving assailant by the hair and re-year-old man he had never seen before
“The ones who’ve failed are hiuys take care of your injuries for now Scott seems to have been wounded the most”
“S-Spare me…”
“You want me to spare you?”
Jin couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic chuckle at the assailant’s words
‘Doesn’t seem to be a Zipfel follower since he cares for his life’
‘Spare me’ aren’t the first words a bold and reckless person would say after daring to attack Runcandel cadets
“You should’ve said that before attacking ht now Either you tell us your affiliation and why you attacked us along here your headquarters are, and we’ll kill you—and only you—painlessly”
Smack, smack
Jin spoke as he slapped the assailant’s cheeks from side to side
“Or you keep your mouth shut, and the Runcandel Clan will kill anyone and everyone related to you in the most painful manner that exists Choose wisely”
The attacker’s eyes trembled as he listened to Jin’s cold voice
“You don’t have a lot of time to think Make a choice already”
“Will… Will you really kill… only e of the Runcandels… is never this merciful…”
“That’s usually the case But I am someone who keeps my promises My name is Jin Runcandel If you talk, your family and friends won’t be put in harm’s way I put my honor and the clan’s honor on the line”
The attacker turned his gaze to observe the cadets They simply stood quietly and nodded
“I will talk”
“A wise choice”
“I aroup called ‘Kinzelo’”
Kinzelo
As soon as he heard the name, Jin remembered an incident which created an uproar and shook the Zhan Kingdoe-scale terror attack coroup’ Kinzelo
Kinzelo was different compared to the radical followers of the Zipfel Clan
The Zipfel followers only targeted the Runcandels when perfor terror attacks, but Kinzelo’s area of activity was all around the world They were crazy lunatics who believed that their king had to beco of the world in order for their ‘revolution’ to be complete
‘Kinzelo had ties with the beastmen and caused soof Zhan andso many civilians’
However, Jin didn’t knohat happened to Kinzelo afterwards He only knew that they were still active and thriving around the tiroup… I see now You planned on attacking Runcandel cadets, causing disorder in the Zhan Kingdoht?”
“I’m only a low-ranked member, so I don’t know that much I also don’t know the location of our headquarters, but the branch I was part of is located at the entrance of the beastmen’s territory There are around 20 members in that branch”
“I see I’ll ask one last question Why did you capture Mesa?”
The attacker shook his head and sighed
“For propaganda Apparently, the superiors ordered us to capture the feanda and publicity for the revolution…”
“What a foul story”
Sccrrt!
Jin pulled Bradamante out of its scabbard, and the attacker closed his eyes
Thud
“With this, I have kept round, and Jin swung his sword one last time to remove the blood on his blade
‘The situation is dire We don’t have tio on my own’
