NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 49: The perfect scam [3]
To be honest... fabricating a whole terrorist attack was a ton of fun. I got to trick my targets, and the best part, I got them right where I wanted. And this is how I did it
"Wait we're going to make that potion...? I thought that was just a part of the script," Sage questioned Morris's plans which seemed to be irrelevant to their plans
"This is how I planned on getting a promotion! I'll make one of the most complex potions I could find... and surely they'll see me in a different light,"
"You're telling me that all of this was leading up to this moment? I never thought that you'll be so foolish... in this fight were the ones taking a massive hit for what a simple promotion?" Sage snapped and before he came to terms with his beliefs, Morris convey a different view of his plan
"You don't get it, those guards are feeding all of our lower-leveled allies... I gave them some stimulation drugs that I formulated, you could say it has the same effect as monster evo... the only difference is that it weakens monsters and enhances the capability of a player's or npc's. But there's a catch, the experience points they drop gets a bonus," Morris explained every single piece of his plans to his deity and the fact that he set everyone up enemy or allies he had them under his grasp
"Hahahahahaha, I know that you are somewhat crazy about their improvements... but to think you'll drive them to their breaking point. You truly are a menace even to your very own men," Sage was surprised by his Avatar's plan
|[Seriously... if I didn't hear about this plan I would've stopped you. Then again pushing them to the next level was one of our goals. I don't really care how it's done, as long as their alive in the end it doesn't matter to me]|
"Keep them alive... but make sure they'll get beaten up. We need them to become reactive from their surroundings," He continued brewing his potion whilst Jin was yet to reply in his favor
...
Outside, the southern district near the workshop
"Roger that! I just need to finish the ones in this area," Jin quickly evades his enemy's sneak attack while and counters with a swing of his hammer
[System: You've activated one of your weapons skills [Enlarge] & [Weight manipulation]
[Enlarge]: Your weapon will now grow depending on how much mana the wielder invests
[Weight manipulation]: The chosen function of the skill has been appointed to [Decrese]! The weight of your weapon is lowered by the chosen effect]
"Metal manipulation, weapon shift," With the newly activated skills, he changed his hammer's flat surface. With his mind, as its basis it formed spikes on every side of his weapon. The reduction of its weight abled him to move with the flow of the bombardment of his enemies
[Nice! That's the way Jin! Do it, obliterate them all... I want to see the worth of your newly created masterpiece in battle!]
With his nimble physique, he attacked the guards without dodging any of their attacks and countered them by attacking head-on. His hammer arts and dexterity proved to give him an advantage even for a production class like himself. He outsmarted his opponents with his tricky playstyle that's unique and their attempts failed in reading his pattern. Pressured, the guard captain called for all of their units that were stationed on the south side of the building
"Snap out of it! He's just a single person, everyone focus all of your strength and kill that bastard! Those who can bring me his head will receive a large reward," The Captain encourages his troops and in their greed, they blindly follow his command and rush with their blades in hand
The guards ambush Jin on all of his sides, but they weren't ready for the attack he's yet to unleash. His reserved mana lowered the weight of his weapons once more and he spins around until It gained the momentum he required. But the guards were too blinded and in the heat of the moment charged and assumed his action was no more than a bluff
"Rest in pieces you greedy motherfucks!" He swung and release its weight and with the added momentum resulted in such a destructive force
"Arghhhh!!!" Slowly he could hear the cries of his foe for his attack shattered everything in its path. The screams of the surviving guards were crippled by his attacks and their limbs were no longer able to function as they were before. It leads up to Jin assassinating all of them with a single to easily put them off their misery
"Spare me please, I can give you anything is it money, or do y-yo-you need some connection? I'll do anything please—" The Captain pleaded for his life, but Jin's reply was certain, cold and murderous eyes and a knife nailed to the captain's neck
"Pay with your life," He forcibly pull his weapon, and there he sees that bastard dying in the most painful way he'd made
Kyo appeared in his back covered in blood, while Jin looked at his side stacked with a bunch of severed corpses. "Jin I'm finished killing the ones on my side! Can finally go to Esther's I wanted to see her so badly,"
'This isn't even a challenge for him...? no wonder Morris, stimulated all the guards, he was said to be a genius that grows stronger from every fight he wins or survived. I never thought I'd see a sight that can be considered brutal. Guess I was worried for nothing,' The two of them quickly made their way to Esther's side of the road, surrounded by hundreds of guards. She stands in the center along with Sun and Moon that awaited their enemy's attack. Heavily injured she was, her eyes were sparkling, she never felt so excited about her situation outnumbered and outmatched. Esther grabbed her sword placing it in her left while another blade she gained in her skirmish to the right
[I can sense the blood of a warrior inside that girl... even if she's born to be a fighter she's going to have a rough time if she can't recover. Look closely, Kurenai... pay attention to her movements, and copy her ways, a genius that's yet to bloom]
"Kyo help her... I'm going to watch the situation, if things get ugly I'll come to the rescue," Jin remained in the back and Kyo jumps in the center this revealing his spot to Esther
'Kyo min soo and even Jin? I guess I can't hide everything from Morris. Sun and Moon might have notified my dilemma... the fact that Jin's watching at that corner means he's only stepping in if we can't handle all of them. At the very least he's not ruining my fight, I'll make sure to grow when I'm granted the choice...'
"Show me something impressive," Jin became transparent when he activated his cloak and his body blend with their surroundings
[System: You've activated a skill embedded into the equipment [Cloak of transparency]
[Transparency]: The cloth of the cloak will blend with your environment as long as you possess mana]
"Kyo take the right, and I'll take the left," Esther pounced on her first victim slitting its throat with her sword while she parries a blade with the other
"Roger that," Kyo tackled a guard, pinning him to the ground while the others stabbed him without any hint of hesitation in their blade
[System: The player Kyo min soo has activated a skill [Ancestral awakening] ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
[Ancestral awakening]: The host will awaken the bloodline he possesses and the transformation into a beastlike form
Status: You've chosen to awaken your internal body parts]
With Morris's hint, Kyo min soo found out one of his most incredible traits of all. His current form wasn't as powerful compared to s his full awakening, yet his vitality, stamina, and regeneration were increased to a new level. His transformation as of now made him durable enough to withstand an attack that could end him
"Ancestral howl," Kyo's powerful roar disrupted the guards granting him the time he needed to escape from their blades
He partially transformed his hand into a claw that he used to shred, pierced, and tore his enemies apart. Even with his newfound power, they were getting pushed back by their opponent's overwhelming number. That's when Morris's insurance made its debut when this pair of familiars joins the frail
'Make sure you do your part, you lazy feline,'
'Wha the— Say thay again you cocky piece of shit! I'd like to see you do any worse,'
With their combined strength they trim their numbers using Kyo min soo as their tank along with Sun who taunts the guards in her range of effect. Those two pave the path for Esther and Moon to eradicate everything that we're near their sight. Her overwhelming sword style severed their limbs along with Moon's damaged focus skills breaking every piece of armor they had
[System: You've killed a human, the collected experience will now be given]
"Nicely done the four of you! It's a good thing that you didn't kill all of them," Jin threw a gas that induces anyone that sniffed would fall asleep
"Goodbye Esther, our break times are almost over, good luck with your mission!" Kyo waved and in turn she repeats his action while the two of them jumped from one roof to another in their escape
Esther's transmission started beeping nonstop for her to reply. It was none other than Morris that called for her, to do the final part of the plan. She rushed through the scene he staged for their growth and distraction for his plan to work
'After that, was all done I made Esther confiscate the potion I made that she will send to Aries... it was such a great potion and they gave me a promotion to one of their highest position. So why did I want a position...?'
'On my first day I sneaked on the night before they locked the factory, and found a hidden entry only accessed by a higher-positioned worker. Why didn't I just open the door? It was armed with a dozen of detection circle spells, one slip and I'll be blasted with a ton of traps, even I can't escape from that. So this plan came as a success and this will slowly result in the grand scheme I made along the way,'
