Chapter 26: Jin, the Cadets, the Beastman, and… (4) (1/2)
Chapter 26: Jin, the Cadets, the Beast in a The ones who captured Mesa aren’t far fro in sweat as he ran across the plains
Since yesterdayfor clues and pursuing the eneed the to reach its li and ‘Wind Blade’ were the decisive factors behind his stamina’s depletion
There were still 15 enemies left
In the worst case scenario, he would have to face them all simultaneously, but if he is lucky, he would face the a child’s body is such a pain I’ If I had my past life’s combat abilities, I could’ve easily deciize everything’
During his chase, Jin realized that the attackers from Kinzelo were all shabby and unskilled
They were all ex-ed Jin how they didn’t even bother erasing their tracks while
‘It’s probably because they’re underesti down on the Runcandel cadets While the cadets were part of the Runcandel Clan, they were all rookies who had yet to experience a real battlefield in their lives
Kinzelo’s lack of caution was also evident in how they only left behind two members to finish off Group 2 after they captured Mesa They had also placed just one ician and tarriors in that ditch to deal with potential survivors and pursuers
‘Keep underestih’
Jin’s greatest weapon right noas the fact that they were underesti them all in battle despite his low stamina
He ran for another hour This ti an eye out for aed
In fact, he could now see the wheel tracks of a carriage in addition Jin stopped for a moment in order to inspect those tracks
‘The ones who captured Mesa reunited with another group here They probably locked her in the carriage’
Now that a carriage was involved, it would be round was uneven due to the sleet froht, so they wouldn’t be able to advance quickly
As he followed the wheel tracks for a while, Jin came across an unknown path that continued into a forest
It was a road that led to the beast himself and his breath, Jin entered the forest The wheel tracks continued along the unique path into the depth of the trees
‘Well then, how should I plan it out?’
Jin was in the middle of the Cadet Rescue Operation An unexpected situation had arisen during theirto rescuing The searchson wasn’t the priority anymore
In that case, as the most important aspect of a rescue mission?
The ansas obvious: the protection and safety of the target
‘Killing all my eneet hurt’
Currently, three hours have passed since Mesa’s kidnapping
Three hours Too much time had passed The dishonorable and i during this timespan
However, Jin still believed that Mesa was safe If they were huht up to them already
The only information about Kinzelo Jin had was from the newspapers in his past life
They were a criroup of radicals, who followed a strict hierarchy on the inside That was how Jin viewed Kinzelo
A strict hierarchy
That was the aspect Jin was focusing on It was highly likely that Kinzelo’s e ast them, and hence Jin believed Mesa was still safe
‘I should reach their branch headquarters soon if I continue along this path And it hasn’t been long since Mesa and her kidnappers arrived there’
About thirtybetween that The kidnappers were ht now
Therefore, this was the last chance he could rescue Mesa safely Every minute, every second was crucial now Thus, he had to attack them head-on in order to save time
However, if he did such a frontal assault at their branch headquarters, several proble athered there, Jin would have to face dozens of enemies on his own And even if he could kill thee
After thinking for a few seconds, Jin nodded to himself
‘First, I need to create confusion and chaos a Mesa Fortunately, we’re inside a forest right now’
Two balls of crimson mana forician had used earlier: the 4-star fire spell, Flaic before this mission It would’ve been difficult to burn down a daician’
Fwoosh!+
Jin swung his two Flame Whips in all four directions The spell has decent firepower, but its real advantage is that once it hits a target, it doesn’t get detached so easily from it
In other words, there was no better spell than this to burn down a drenched forest Jin cast the saical arson was a serious felony in this world
However, such restrictions didn’t matter to Jin Runcandel Once the area was ablaze, Jin then conjured wind mana
‘Wind Wave’
Another 4-star spell Once he finished casting it, a blueish wind filled withthe blaze forward Just like the naust of wind that undulated forward like a wave
The blaze encroached onto the forest Initially, it was unable to burn the daan sing everything in its path, wet or not
And so, Jin advanced through the forest as he burned it down He concealed his body behind the flae of his resistance provided by the Phoenix Heart
His4-star spells, but his plan was extre in the distance It was Kinzelo’s branch headquarters People were exiting the building in panic one by one
“Fire! The forest is burning!”
“Report to the captain! And gather the icians!”
“Water! We need water!”
“Why is there a fire…?!”
