78. Feat of a reserve jockey (4)
Thanks to his small size, he could easily be wrapped in a robe. Even if he had the physique of an average adult man, it would have been impossible to hide even his shoes.

‘I think I just heard something stabbed… I must be mistaken.’
Even if it’s not an illusion, you can’t bring out Dante again.
Jin looked down at the fallen Beradin. It seemed that he was going to pass out soon.
The best way to break through the siege of the Ziple Wizards was to use Beradin as a hostage.
However, if he carried Veradin like a flag and made the wizards retreat, the fact that he suffered from him had no choice but to become an ‘official record’.
Many reporters will witness the sight.
Veradin’s fainting had to remain only as information inside Zipple. If possible.
‘I hope there won’t be another uproar in the family after being beaten like this. Even if he dies, he will do as he pleases. I only knew that this personality belonged to Dante and not to Veradin.’
The two of them weren’t friends for nothing. Dante and Beradin were sometimes the kind of people who risked their lives on fiery convictions rather than efficient choices.
lively…!
Gold bars were melting as the flames continued to grow. The melted gold flowed toward the sea, not towards the fallen Beradin.
“It’s a bastard!”
“I found Gene Runkandel!”
The wizards all turned their attention to Jin.
However, unlike the urgent voice, he wasn’t as flustered as before.
Some of them put a protective shield upwards in preparation for Myeongwang’s sword, and the rest prepared attack magic that had good compatibility and formed camps.
Although the wizard of Ziffle was aiming for himself at twenty, he was not nervous.
It was because there was no need to hide the fact that he was a ‘magic swordsman’ any longer because he was on his way to reveal the identity of Runkandel and the pseudonym Barmal in the plaza.
Of course, in the future, Zipple could bring up the oath and put pressure on Runcandel.
But Jin thought so.
‘That’s a matter for the family to decide on their own.’
If Runkandel had judged that he did not have that level of ability, there would be no revealing his identity in the plaza today.
No, he would not have had the goal of becoming a family head after returning from the beginning.
Whoa-!
Magic power gathered in Jin’s palm. The wizards of Ziffle did not miss the sight of the mana scattered in the air being refined in an instant and gathering in Jin’s hands.
But even seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it.
“horsepower? You gathered that kind of mana?”
The leader of the magician said startled.
The reason he was startled was no different. It was because Jin wasn’t just ‘gathering’ mana.
Even the wizards who had been hearing the sound of genius until they entered Ziffle were getting frightened at the speed of the ceremony.
Magic that is much purer than even that produced by the magicians of Ziple.
They thought that this level of mana management could only be seen in pure-blooded jiples.
By the way, Runkandel is a young reserve jockey!
“Attack commences!”
The leader of the magician gritted his teeth and shouted. I don’t know what the damn runcandel did, but I felt insulted.
It was terrifying to imagine that Runkandel could use magic superior to them.
As soon as his words fell, beams of light shot from the magicians’ wands. Shuri twisted her body with her eyes shining.
Shaak! Jumping left and right to dodge the magic beams, and those that could not be evaded were cut with claws.
As if the wizards had expected this much, they calmly continued their next magic.
Elemental magic was pouring in, such as calling lightning, fire barrier, and freezing prison. To the point where Shuri couldn’t stay on the ground even for a moment because she was avoiding them all.
‘I’m preparing a barrier there.’
From Jin’s point of view, the ziple mages were doing a great job against him.
Even with numerical superiority, he calmly chose a standard method to erase variables, and three or more elemental magics harmoniously pressured Jin without being wasted.
But it was just there.
It is that he is completely unable to calculate the unexpectedness that only ‘real geniuses’ have.
It was natural. For them, even if they weren’t geniuses, they couldn’t think of Jin’s magical insight that overwhelms them.
Flash!
Shuri jumped high, dodging the flames that suddenly erupted from the floor.
The Ziffle wizards all raised their wands and aimed at Shuri as if they were aiming for this.
Excluding those who spread the shield like when the mana rays were first fired, all ten people were chanting the same magic.
“Tear it up!”
Hellwind 8-star Wind-type offensive magical essence.
An artificially created, opaque wind was rushing towards Shuri and Jin. It had a sharp and blurry shape like a blade covered with an aura, making it difficult to predict its trajectory.
Above all, there was no ground for Shuri to step on while floating in the air, so avoiding it was impossible.
‘Thanks to the range, there’s no way to miss, and it’s a magic that’s hard to beat with a sword, so of course I chose this.’
However, it was also the development that Jin wanted for the Ziffle wizards to shoot hell winds.
Reversal!
Just before the infernal wind hit, a small crack appeared in the air above Jin’s head.
It was a crack for the formation of an inverted sphere. When magic power fluctuates and swirls in it, the cracks widen and become spheres of reverse heaven.
In order to unfold a complete reverse heaven, 9 stars of magic are required, but Jin usually unfolds an incomplete reverse heaven with about 7 stars of magic.
But now, Jin wasn’t trying to use his own magical power to reverse the sky.
Ten winds of hell engulfed Shuri. Shuri, who had been falling for an instant, was completely hidden by the mixture of hellish mana.
Ssssukssugsugguk rumble-!
However, what the wizards heard was not the sound of Shuri’s flesh and bones being cut, but a strange noise. It’s as if hellish magic is grinding through something like a saw.
It was an extremely short moment, but the wizards instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Only four!
Shuri and Jin, who landed on the ground, looked fine without a single scratch.
And not even a second had passed, but the rift that had spread to cause the first reversal was forming the largest sphere ever opened by Jin.
To the wizards, it felt as if the sky was covered for an instant.
Wow!
It also made a strange explosion like a monster’s roar.
As soon as the wizards were able to figure out what was going on, Jin released the reflux width spread in the air with ‘simultaneous chanting’.
Reverse Heaven is only activated with the minimum amount of mana.
He swung the reflux wave floated by simultaneous chanting like a shield, turning the direction of the gathering infernal winds.
Thanks to this, the hell wind was sucked into the fissure of the reverse stream and became the driving force for the reverse stream to fully unfold.
In other words, he wanted to absorb the hell wind as it was and return it to the jiple mages.
The reverse flow, which exceeded the power of 9 stars, began, but in reality, the only magic power Jin used was to spread one reverse flow width.
Of course, for most non-Jin wizards, it was a ‘theoretically’ possible area.
The reverse sky that Jin just unfolded in the air contained at least five divine skills.
The speed to finish the spell of reverse heaven in just a few seconds. The precise control ability to choose the starting point of the magic at will, even on a moving vehicle.
And the confidence to make it all come true without wavering in a situation where you could die any number of times if you failed.
“You should use magic like this.”
A trickle of blood flowed from Jin’s mouth as he smiled.
The reverse flow did not begin due to excessive mana management. When I wielded the backflow like a shield, I only got hit on the chin with my forearm because of the recoil that blocked the hell wind.
My mouth was tingling.
In other words, it meant that there was no damage to Jin other than that.
“Protection of power!”
The leader, who was the first to grasp the situation, screamed like a madman.
Half of the wizards still had no idea what the hell was going on.
The level of understanding ‘magic’ is different.
The captain was thinking about that while looking at Jin.
If he had known that Jin had this much talent and learned the secret technique of Kidard Hall, he would have reacted differently.
Even if they weren’t elite or special, there were 20 wizards in Ziffle. How could they have predicted that they would lose out in the battle of magic warfare?
To the reserve riders of Runcandel who are not even twenty.
Kiyiing-!
Reverse Heaven, which had absorbed all the mana of the hell wind, began to absorb mana in earnest.
First of all, the protective shield that had been prepared for the sword of Myungwang in advance was crumbling. The assault team was opening a new shield, but the urgent chant was always poison to the wizard.
“Cuck!”
Wizards who had already fallen into reverse flow were appearing one after another. It was a daunting task for gifted people to spread a protective shield right after performing a spell as big as the hellfire.
The moment the hell wind was absorbed into the reverse sky, the defeat of the jiple mages was already a set procedure.
“You should have thought of turning off your magic power and scattering away instead of spreading a protective shield. If we were lucky, at least one might have survived.”
I can’t count the number of times I fell into a sense of inferiority and defeat while watching the brother knights of Runkandel in my previous life.
There was never a time when I felt envy while watching the wizards of Zipple.
At that time, Jin started magic at twenty-five and reached five stars in three years, so there was no need to be intimidated by talented people.
At least, he had similar feelings towards Veradin, but he thought that he could overcome even that if he had started practicing magic from an early age.
And that idea has now become a reality. Beradin became the only person in Zipple who earned his favor.
Sreung!
Sigmund got out of the scabbard. The moment the blades glistened in the sunlight, the wizards felt like prisoners on death row.
They are bound by the trap of inversion and have no means to resist.
“Break through, Shuri.”
Shuri lowered her stance and ran forward like an arrow.
Wizards who hadn’t fallen into the regurgitation yet launched a check attack, but Jin’s sword energy, which contained brain energy, only cut them off like leaves.
From now on, it was a massacre, not a fight.
Of course, Jin had no intention of leaving anyone alive.
“I have no personal feelings. Resent that you belong to Zipple.”
“Neonooooum…! Zipple will surely kill you!”
“It’s fortunate. If I had begged for help, I would have been more disappointed.”
Squeak-! Took.
Every time Jin swung his sword, the wizards’ bodies fell to the floor like puppets with a string cut off.
And a group of reporters who had just arrived at the port looked at this scene and involuntarily covered their mouths.
“What the hell is going on…”
The golden castle of Zipple, which is burning and melting.
And Jin is killing the wizards of Zipple in front of him.
From the evening, the whole world will be covered with articles about him.
