6. Feeling Better than Ever

Buma and his group watched as Jin belittled Buma's effort in the presence of everybody.

A spell that had almost drained the life out of Buma was performed by the Dark Wizard within a few seconds and he wasn't looking like he had broken a sweat doing that.

Just witnessing this magic casting from the Dark Wizard made their eyes animatedly shoot out of their sockets like lasers and their jaws touching the very floor upon which they stood.

They already knew, from the sheer size of the water orb that gathered at the tip of Jin's finger, that there was no escape.

Jin tilted his head to the right and with a smug face, he mocked them. "You see… it's a skill issue."

Arthur and Margaret couldn't help but watch their son take care of their intruders with proud looks on their faces.

However, they were slightly disturbed by the fact that Jin could summon such a spell so easily.

Everyone knew that Ocean's Swallow was a high-grade spell and that was the reason for the incantation.

Despite that, Buma still couldn't execute it effectively even after reciting the chant and yet, Jin had done it without saying a word.

"He's using the boss' spell without an incantation?!"

"He's a demon!"

"We should get out of here!"

Jin smirked.

"I don't think so," he said before releasing the massive, rotating orb of water on the men of Clan Elariz.

The water body was enough to smash the eight of them against the pillars and gates of the Weiss mansion, and as they struggled, it was worse for them.

While trying to escape the force of Jin's Ocean's Swallow spell, they noticed that Jin was already hanging in the air above them.

His right hand was poised to do something else that they didn't know about, this uncertainty piercing their hearts, like heavy arrows, laced with great fear.

"Boss! Wake up!"

"Help us, boss!"

They cried out to Buma as the water dragged them away, filling their mouths and affecting their breathing.

Buma, on the other hand, could barely keep his own consciousness, much less worry about another person.

Bzzt~ Bzzt~

Sparks were let off from Jin's hand, the electrifying energy shaping itself into a longitudinal form of electric energy that sizzled with terrifying magic.

…The Lightning Element—one of the secondary elements of Magic.

Lightning crackled in the grasp of the Dark Wizard as he stared down at the group of eight whom he was about to decimate with no remorse in his eyes.

They looked at him, utterly drowned in fear and panicking as their lives flashed before their eyes.

They were still struggling with the water and now they had to worry about this.

Buma couldn't help them and they couldn't help themselves either.

They could only beg but their pleas fell on deaf ears.

"Tch…!" Jin sneered.

Lightning Magic: Thunder Lance!

The sound of lightning tearing through the air, which separated Jin from his targets, echoed and sent shivers down the spines of everybody present to behold his magic.

According to Jin's intentions, Buma and his group were going to die after these two different natures of magic mix with each other.

Water plus lightning. A deadly combination!

Such that even if there was the littlest chance that they survived, it would have been better for them to be dead.

Tzzzt~ Tzzzttt~

Thunder Lance struck the large body of water, passing the current of electricity it bore into the liquid surface which entrapped the men of Clan Elariz.

In less than a second, screams of anguish could be heard from them as they cried and reached out to whoever and whatever to save them.

Lady Margaret experienced several stings on her body as she witnessed this and immediately turned her face away and into Arthur's embrace.

Even if she was angry with them, the reason for her reaction was now void since Jin had survived.

Lord Arthur and Margaret certainly wanted to get rid of Buma and his men for the nuisance they were causing but not like this.

…Not like Jin, their son, had done. Not by killing them.

The combination of water and lightning dried these men down to the bones as their skins separated from their bodies, leaving behind eight corpses at the gates of the Weiss in the twinkle of an eye.

'What!' Jin screamed inwardly and with profound excitement, terrified and at the same time, amazed by how powerful his spell combination was.

He knew Ocean's Swallow from playing the game because different characters used it and Thunder Lance was one of the techniques which his in-game character had.

He had tried different combinations of spells in the past but he never imagined that they would look like this when he actually witnessed it happen before his eyes.

Jin gulped and smiled, staring at his palms admirably.

'It cleared these NPC fodders in less than a second! What powerful spells!"

While everybody around to see what had happened trembled with eyes wide open and mouths markedly part in utter shock at what Jin had done, Jin was merely interested in the prospects of his abilities.

He looked at his hands again as he landed on the ground. "Damn! Seems like I can use all elements on a whim. I should test it out to confirm," he muttered.

"Maybe it wouldn't be bad after all. At least it's better than reincarnating as a nobody without any talent in a world where power is utmost."

Even Arthur and Margaret were wary after what they had witnessed. Their son was skilled but they had never seen him use this sort of power.

'Is it because of the Dark Arts?' Arthur questioned as he observed Jin from a distance, his wife in his arms still.

Jin rubbed his chin, looking at the fried corpses of the lackeys of Elariz that laid strewn at their gates.

'This is the point where Jin Weiss resurrected and news of his return from the dead spread to all parts of the Eternal Realm. Pretty much the same as now, except that I have gone and done an extra thing by killing these guys, whereas the old Jin tortured them for a few days before letting them go. Now that I think of it, the supposed villain had some compassion though.'

"Jin, dear," a voice filled with concern reached his hearing and he turned to meet the teary eyes of his mother, Margaret Weiss.

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Jin flashed her a grin and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Hihihi! I'm fine, mother. Don't worry about me," he giggled happily. "I dare to say that I feel better than I have ever felt."

Meanwhile, deep within Jin's consciousness, a blonde-haired woman laid lewdly atop a platform that was sprinkled with an abundance of flowers of many colours and scents, smiling as she picked one up and inhaled its amorous fragrance.

'Seems like I made the right choice bringing you here, my darling husband.'
