“System, what is that this “Mana practitioner” factor?”

Add had heard just a little about them, but it surely was not intimately and solely obscure issues like, they may use mana and have been very robust. Therefore he was fairly curious as to what it precisely was. So he requested his good pal the system about it, whereas he saved taking pictures the troopers.

[Host, the system can answer this question for 500 CP.]

The identical as ever black heartedness of the system made his brows twitch. This technique actually was too low-cost. So Add turned to Anna and requested her the identical query. Fortunately, Anna the elf beside him, knew about it and instructed him with out asking for any value.

Each particular person on Iseria was born with a set potential for harnessing and storing mana of their physique. Though each residing factor had some mana in them, few had considerable quantities of it. Amongst people, those that did, have been known as Mana Practitioners. Then once more there have been two divisions amongst Mana practitioners, warriors and mages. Nonetheless just one in 10,000 had the potential to turn into a mage. Being a warrior was simpler, and a few excessive stage warriors had great quantities of mana in them.

The soldiers have been individuals who had superior expertise in controlling mana inside their our bodies, very like common people just like the guild grasp who might use [Mana Equip], nevertheless their mana capability was increased than the conventional people, however not as excessive as to turn into a mage. They targeted on constructing their bodily our bodies as robust as doable and honing their martial methods. They have been many instances stronger than regular people and have been divided into 10 ranks based mostly on their strengths as Rank 1 Warrior, Rank 2 Warrior, Rank 3 Warrior, and so forth.

However mages have been just like Warriors, however they’d monumental reserves of mana of their our bodies. Not anybody might turn into a mage. Solely these born with particular meridians via which mana might easily circulate like blood, and had adequate expertise for magic might turn into full-fledged mages. They selected the trail of spells and the mystic relatively than the sword and the defend. They used numerous sorts of spells as their weapons and their spells have been normally very harmful. They used mana which was a mysterious power and the very foundation of magic. Magic itself might bend the legal guidelines of nature. Nobody knew the place and the place magic first appeared, however most believed that it was the present of gods. Utilizing chants made by historic runic languages and mixing ones creativeness, a mage might use her/his innate mana to create spells, which have been mainly, manifestation of imaginations. Mages have been additionally divided into ranks just like the soldiers.

Normally, it was a incontrovertible fact that within the one on one fights, a mage could be vastly superior to a warrior of the identical rank when it comes to assault energy, offered they may preserve the gap. However mages had weak physiques, and thus, in shut quarter fights nevertheless warriors would largely win. As such, since mages have been a lot rarer than warriors, they have been deemed extra vital. In wars or battles, they have been positioned on the most secure factors protected by warriors. The soldiers fought the melee battles whereas the mages normally supported from the protected locations.

Elves additionally had the same system with their very own warriors and mages. When put next one on one, an Elf beat a human in each discipline, be it Mana capability, magic expertise, or bodily prowess as their innate excessive affinity for mana naturally strengthened their our bodies. The one cause that Elves had reached such a sorry state was their low replica price and in consequence a really small inhabitants when in comparison with people.

“So it seems that Rank 1 Mana Practitioners are solely this a lot…..”

Add had been considering that the Mana Practitioners would pose extra of a menace, however now it appeared that the AX338 was sufficient for them. By now he had already killed 30 troopers, and the remainder had begun taking cowl behind bushes whereas on the lookout for the mysterious attacker, however couldn’t see something. He lastly stopped taking pictures utilizing the sniper because the troopers have been scattering. If he continued sniping, a few of them would positively escape. So he put away the AX338 and took up the PKP Pecheneg Medium Machine Gun. It regarded able to shed some blood.

*Click on-Clack*

He loaded the 250 spherical field journal and turned the protection off. He additionally ready a number of as reserves in his stock. The 15 kg weapon to him was as gentle as a 1 kg one.

“Wait right here…”

“What are you going to do?” Anna requested him with a shaky voice. She was terrified as how this mysterious human boy so simply killed so many human troopers with out even exposing himself. She was grateful that he was not their enemy….but.

“Miss Anna, simply sit again and watch….I’m going to take care of this example, we are able to speak later…”

He instructed the Elves and swiftly started transferring in the direction of the river. As he moved in the direction of the human camp, he formulated his plan of motion. Anna tried to talk to him however he was gone earlier than she might accomplish that. Add who was sporting his tactical fight gear blended effectively with the darkness of the forest, nevertheless if he went into the open he could be immediately drawing consideration. However he did not suppose it was of any danger. Firstly, he had already killed the few archers that the troopers had, secondly, this group had no mages in it, and lastly he had full religion in himself.

(However let’s purchase these simply in case…..)

By the point he arrived on the stream, he bought a number of issues from the system, to make sure whole success in what he was about to do.

“What’s he doing…?” questioned Anna who had additionally started following Add after he left, whereas the opposite 3 Elves additionally had no alternative tofollow her as effectively.

They watched in suspense as Add walked out into the open with none change in his deadpan expression and stood proper on the financial institution of the stream. The troopers noticed him and have become alert, however they did not see the Elves as they have been hiding throughout the forest progress. The troopers have been shouting issues like:

“Who’re you!?”

“The place did you come from!?”

Some troopers moved away from their covers and approached him pointing their swords and spears at him, however Add solely gave one response to them.

“You all can now go die.”

After which it started.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Derek Brian was an organization commander of the royal military of Reingleif. His firm was one among the many many stationed at Helmsberg, comprising of 200 males below him.Though he was the fourth son in his family, and needed to go away his home on the age of 20, to keep away from being focused by his brothers, he nonetheless belonged to a decrease viscount family and thus had some authority within the military, which he had used to get this place. Though he belonged to the decrease rung of the military, he was happy together with his place.

“This rattling forest….”

In his tent, Derek smashed a mosquito which had been annoying him for a while now. His under good-looking face was scrunched up as a result of warmth making him look fairly ugly. The warmth and humidity of the forest together with the ever so annoying bugs have been making his life fairly tough. On his common obligation he would have been staying at his good and comfortable workplace whereas his subordinates did many of the work, however he had been ordered to come back right here as an alternative, by his superiors.

At first he was unwilling to come back himself and solely ship his males to do the work, however when he heard that they have been going to seize Elves, he heartily joined. Elves have been well-known for his or her superior appears to be like and wonder. It was a typical saying {that a} bedding a feminine lf was the blessing amongst blessing. Ever since 5000 years in the past, people had been continually suppressing them by their numerical superiority. As such making slaves out of Elves was a typical follow. An elven slave bought over 4000 gold cash on a mean, whereas females themselves fetched even increased costs, particularly as intercourse slaves for rich individuals, like wealthy retailers, nobles and the aristocracy.

Derek knew that he had no probability to have an elf as his private slave as a result of his social standing. Really the slave agency which was looking this explicit group of Elves had requested for some assist from the military in capturing them, so Derek and his males had been despatched to do the job. They have been to help some members of the slave agency. The slavers who first found the village of Elves had suffered main losses in making an attempt to seize them by themselves. So this time, after they managed to trace down the runaway Elves, they’d determined to take assist of the royal military. The military themselves would obtain remunerations from the sale of the Elves whereas the vast majority of the revenue would go to the slave merchants. A significant cause behind the military supporting the slavers was that the king of Reingleif had lengthy been considering of getting the the forest areas round Helmsberg as his personal territory. The Elves have been simply unfortunate to be residing there.

“Effectively not less than I’d get to have some enjoyable with these elven beauties…he he he….”

Usually somebody like him would haven’t any probability to have an elf for himself, nevertheless, since he was main this assault, he had sure “privileges”. They’d confirmed that the Elves have been solely round 30 in quantity, relaxation had been killed or captured by the slavers earlier than. Their group of 200 troops had 200 rank 1 warriors whereas Derek himself was a rank 2 Warrior. Additional they even had a gaggle of fifty mercenaries from the slavers’ aspect. Such a power was sufficient to flatten the 30 or so Elves, even twice that quantity could be little downside.

They’d tracked the Elves efficiently and had set camp, just a little distance away from the short-term camp of the Elves. The plan was to assault the Elves at evening and catch all of them in a single sweep. Even when the Elves tried to run, they might nonetheless be unable to flee from the grasp of so many troopers. It was a simple victory for the people, and a worthwhile one as effectively. Nonetheless, man make plans, and the heavens chortle. Simply as Derek was dreaming of getting his approach with the gorgeous elves, immediately a commotion broke out within the camp. He hurriedly picked up his sword and went out solely to search out that some mysterious attackers had attacked his troopers. Earlier than he might perceive what was taking place, 10 of his troopers had been killed. All of them had their heads or chests pierced by one thing, which solely left holes of their our bodies, whereas some heads even exploded.

“We’re below assault! Everybody take cowl!”

He shouted and ducked behind a thick tree. However his males have been many in quantity and all of them rushed to cover, inflicting commotion. Some crawled behind bushes, some jumped into bushes, and a few simply lied down behind their tents or no matter they may conceal behind. Within the chaos that ensured he noticed his males dropping useless like flies. He gritted his tooth as he realized that each one his archers had been killed. His group did not have many archers to start with and now all of them have been useless. What aggravated him to no finish was the truth that he couldn’t see anybody, who may very well be doing the assaults. For somebody to have the ability to kill in broad daylight, and that too with out being detected was actually harmful. Because the troopers and mercenaries scrambled for canopy, extra saved dying, inside a couple of minutes he had misplaced over 30 of his males.

“Dam it! Which f***er is doing this!?” Derek was enraged.

However he might do nothing apart from telling his troops to maintain hiding whereas they tried to search out the attacker. However they nonetheless discovered no traces even after they regarded throughout them. However then immediately the assaults stopped, nd after someday, a boy wearing unusual black clothes appeared on the opposite aspect of the stream. He seemed to be in his mid-teens and was carrying a wierd object in his fingers. Derek instantly felt suspicious of this new arrival. He felt that this boy was most likely not the killer however perhaps an confederate of the killers?

“Who’re you and what are you doing right here!?” he shouted, however the boy gave no response solely wanting on the troopers, his face expressionless.

“You 5! Go carry that brat over right here! If he resists, kill him!”

Derek needed to take no possibilities. He ordered a number of troopers near him, to go and convey the boy over to him. The troopers checked out one another and gulped. Having seen a lot of their companions killed had clearly scared them. They did not instantly transfer which made Derek even angrier.

“Dam it you bastards! Both you go, or I’ll kill you all proper right here!”

The troopers who knew how dangerous the mood of their commander was, hurriedly scrambled in the direction of the unusual boy. However simply after they have been about to cross the shallow stream,

“You all can now go die.”

They heard the chilly voice of the boy and a small spherical object got here tumbling in the direction of them and landed on the bottom proper earlier than them. It was a small spherical object which regarded like a ball, they checked out it confused and a soldier moved his hand to choose it.

“What is that this thi——-“

*BOOM*

The ball like factor was really a Sort-201 HE grenade, which might kill a gaggle of hobgoblins. And although these troopers have been rank 1 warriors, they have been apparently not sufficient earlier than it. The unfortunate fellow who was making an attempt to choose up the grenade was hit at level clean and blown to items, whereas the opposite 4 have been blasted away, not in significantly better circumstances, and died.

(The Sort-201 works simply effective…..if it did not, I’d most likely must run away.)

Add was testing the effectiveness of the grenade on these individuals. Although the impact was not as on regular people, the our bodies of those “Warriors”, being, stronger, but it surely was greater than sufficient. The Sort-201 was made within the early twenty second century, and was nonetheless in service whereas Add lived. It was generally known as the “Mushy Masher”, by the individuals who used it, because it actually made mush out of individuals. Right here too it did its job fairly effectively.

Derek was shocked on the sudden explosion and earlier than he might breakout from his stupor, Add had made his transfer. In a flash he was throughout the stream and started throwing extra of grenades. He had already estimated the place massive teams of troopers have been hiding. The opposite troopers had additionally seen what these small ball like issues might do, however they have been so shocked that almost all of them reacted a second too late to evade what was coming.

“Look out!” somebody warned, but it surely was too late….

*BOOM..BOOM…BOOM..BOOM..*

Collection of explosions rang out adopted by screams of the troopers. There have been physique components flying round and pained screams saved echoing. The entire space drowned in chaos. The mercenaries who have been a bit farther from the troopers started working away. They solely fought for cash, however they weren’t fools, and so they put their lives at first else, so seeing the horrifying energy of the enemy they determined to run. Add then started strolling in the direction of the remaining troopers who have been making an attempt to run and flipped his hand.

*CLINK…CLINK…CLINK…*

Round ten pins dropped on the bottom, proof of what number of grenades had been thrown.

[Ding! You have leveled up!]

Add ignored the message as he had extra vital issues to do. This was not the top, earlier than the enemy might react, he started his last assault. The PKPPecheneg was aimed on the escaping troopers and he pulled the set off. The shells dropped because the 7.62*54 mmR bullets, shot out at virtually twice the pace of sound on the escaping troopers and mercenaries. They who had ever confronted a gun earlier than, and couldn’t see the bullets had no approach of defending from them. Wherever the bullets handed via, they turned the people stuffed with holes. Add additionally chased the escaping people as he gunned them down with none mercy. Some tried to assault him however have been rapidly full of bullets earlier than they may attain him.

*RATATATA…RATATATA…RATATATA…*

The melody of a machine gun echoed within the forest as an increasing number of individuals dropped useless.

“How nostalgic…this environment….the odor of blood gunpowder and iron….that is what humanity is all about….” He spoke in a daze. For him who had spent t virtually 3 many years within the battlefield, this was extraordinarily acquainted.

The Elves who have been nonetheless hiding within the forest, have been dumbstruck, seeing all this. They could not consider their eyes. The group of people which was positive dying for them was being slaughtered by this human so simply.

With a peculiar glint in her lovely eyes, Anna frowned barely. She was full of worry in the direction of such energy, and curiosity as effectively: “Simply what sort of particular person is he…..to have such devastating power…”

Inside couple of minutes, add had killed the entire troopers and mercenaries, none had survived. Utilizing his superior pace and [Perception] ability, he simply tracked and intercepted all escapees. The forest flooring was dyed pink in blood and gore, and the air was full of the pungent odor of blood, gore and gunpowder. Add was used to such conditions, so he was completely unaffected, however the elves have been scared of the manslaughter he simply dedicated.

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

[Ding! You have levelled up!]

With this he leveled up for 8 instances in a row.

Simply as he was reloading his gun, Add felt a chill and dodged by leaping apart. A sword stabbed the place he was standing a second in the past. He had simply felt the sword enter the vary of [Perception] and subsequent second it was beside him. How briskly it should have been thrown. He turned to take a look at the one who had thrown the sword. It was the chief of the human group. Derek Brian. Derek had fastidiously snuck away when the grenade explosions have been taking place. He had seen how terrifying the boy was, slaughtering his troopers like pigs. Derek as not assured in going through the boy head on so he had been hiding, ready for an opportunity to assault the boy and kill him. And he acquired that probability when Add was close to him and stopped to reload.

Derek took this opportunity and threw his sword utilizing all of his power in the direction of Add, however he nonetheless dodged it. Proper now, the 2 have been over 100 meters aside, and Derek realized that, he most likely will not be capable to kill the boy anymore. So he determined to flee. He solely needed to carry some reinforcements from Helmsberg after which he would be capable to take care of him simply. The ability of a Rank 2 Warrior burst forth as he dashed madly away from Add. The later, narrowed his eyes on the pace of the escaping man. It was a bit sooner than the present him, so he instantly took out his AX338 and gave chase. As quickly as he had a transparent shot, he fired. The .338 Lapua Magnum spherical tore via the air in the direction of Derek, however to Add’s shock, proper earlier than hitting Derek, it ricocheted away.

“Barrier?”

Add questioned as he was capable of see a slight clear power discipline like factor protecting the person, defending him. Really, it was a barrier made by a spell. When he was leaving his home, Derek’s father had gifted him a small ring which had been enchanted by a Rank 3 wizard. It might type a barrier when below assault and shield from assaults of Rank 3 Warriors simply. When the .338 Lapua Magnum hit it, it did not have sufficient energy to piece the barrier and bounced away. However he did really feel like a hammer was hit on his again, as a trickle of blood leaked from his lips.

“Simply you wait you fucking brat! You dare kill troopers of the Royal Military! You’re finished for! You’re DEAD!”

He shouted and smiled cruelly. As soon as he returned with highly effective reinforcements, he would take his time torturing this boy. Derek, saved working in a zigzag method making it tough for Add to chase him. He needed to cease Derek earlier than he entered dense forest or else Add would lose him, due to his pace. He furrowed his brows and put away the AX338. Whereas nonetheless chasing Derek, he took out the sunshine fifty, the Barrett M107A1 50 caliber rifle.

“Let’s examine if it could possibly block this…..”

With a muffled *BANG*, an empty casing bounced away because the 12.7*99 mm NATO spherical pierced via the air and hit the barrier defending Derek, whose smile froze on his face. The spherical pierced the barrier like a needle pierces a balloon and the ring on his finger shattered. The very last thing Derek Brian noticed earlier than dying was a bloody gap in his chest as his eyes filed with unwillingness, after which misplaced their lights endlessly. Thus ended the lives of a complete firm of troopers.
