Rising god-Chapter 107: Fury

"Brother, brother, what is this?" A girl, barely fifteen, dashed toward Vole Malakar, brandishing a newspaper with frantic excitement.

"Hm?" Vole’s brow furrowed, a sinking feeling gripping him. His eyes widened as he read the headline:

[Jin Malakar].

"This..." His heart raced. Is this what he meant by borrowing my name? He bit his nails, scanning the surroundings nervously. His worst fears materialized as a knight approached, his voice grave.

"Sir Vole, the Veiled Mother demands your presence in the Labyrinth of Null."

Vole and the girl froze, their eyes nearly popping out. "Shit," Vole cursed under his breath.

A simple act of aid had landed him in dire trouble. This is why people don’t help strangers, he thought, sighing as he followed the knight, dread pooling in his gut.

...

In the Sun Tower, Baines pored over the Silver family’s treasures. Their techniques were far from trivial and nothing to scoff at. After all, they were all inspired by the wind god.

Honestly, if the Darkans hadn’t regained their heritage or if the Silvers had help from their wyverns, the war wouldn’t have ended that way.

The techniques included several alongside the Whirlwind technique. It was a 6th-star sword skill that unleashed compressed tornadoes with each thrust, and according to his technique rankings included techniques from 1st to 6th star, with fewer at 7th star and above, alongside unique mana and aura cultivation methods and magic spells.

’My plan remains the same,’ Baines resolved. His one-year academy stint was meticulously scheduled.

For the first seven months, he was going to absorb more knowledge from Eye while also absorbing the books from the library, more specifically from the 1st to 3rd floors. Among Eye’s upgrades, the most valuable was, it could use aura to perform various tasks.

Now, just by touching the surface of a book, eye could scan it. Another was the scanning time, which had increased drastically, and it wasn’t only that. Now, Eye could now almost be called the ’All-seeing eye.’ He could now peer into things.

Coupled with his sixth-sense training, anyone below a 7th star could forget about sneaking on him.

The second was exactly what was currently delaying his progress: the treasure. With the speed he was going, it was going to take a while. Thankfully, Eye could also resolve that.

The third was to learn magic. Among the numerous versions of mana cultivation techniques mages used, he was going to choose one to adopt and further his studies on magic. Fourth, he was going to further the creations of his techniques, including the silver techniques he had just found out about, maybe adopt some into his magic, and find more clues in opening his domain.

Lastly, he was going to open another vessel core.

Then, for the final five months, he was going to transfer over to the Lunar tower to further his studies on magic. This time, he might even have to pay to attend some classes, and the most recent thing he was very curious about, magic engineering. He was very interested in those flying ships.

’Father, Mother, Rokin, Cecilia, wait for me,’ he vowed, diving into his laid-out plan.

Rumble...

"Gahh..."

"Aghh..."

Screams permeated the air as every direct descendant cried in agony all around this family estate. This wasn’t the first time, and it surely wasn’t going to be the last. It was for this reason that the whole family had gathered.

And the reason? Their god was furious.

Krazgar, the god of storms.

Just a few days ago, it stopped sensing his brother. At first, he thought it was a fluke and went to investigate, just for the horror to set in, his brother was dead.

Being forgotten was a different story, as no one would remember, however, dead? That was another thing entirely. Among the numerous reasons they were called gods was that they couldn’t die.

So, finding out his brother died was too much for him.

["FIND THEM"]

He forcibly took possession of his apostle’s body and kept shouting in pure fury. If their god wanted war, they had no choice but to grant him that.

A war meeting was called among the family members.

It had already been three months since ’Jin’ entered the moon branch, and honestly, life was good.

His food was top-class, his teacher was among the best, and everyone was his friend. He played his role well and fitted into it. At first, he was a bit skeptical of getting caught, but after playing the role for a week, he fully fit into the noble life.

He didn’t shy away from social gatherings, not especially an official spar, and fortunately for him, today was among those days. Any chance to increase his reputation, and he took it. People were often wary of him for being a Malakar, as they could read minds, but it only added to his value.

A few who suspected his origins were expecting the family to confront him; however, none of it ever happened, making it obvious. He was a Malakar.

’Jin’ smiled as he faced his today’s opponent.

He was Diphus Lindell, the second son of the Lindell family.

’Alright, just like usual, I’ll play around a bit, show them their flaws and leave them be.’ This was his strategy. To avoid anything coming back to bite him when his true identity was revealed, he chose this method, and it seemed he was even more liked for it.

As usual, the sparring area was filled to the brim, mages, staff, students, and even higher-ranking staff were present to watch the spar.

"Begin,"

"You... rejected my sister twice," Diphus spoke with a voice filled with fury, his mana pouring from him, "You have to pay the price for that."

He was a high-mage in ranking, also known as a 5th-star magician.

’Shit, Jin, what did you do?’ ’Jin’ frowned as the mana around the air spelled danger. These were the moments he wasn’t ready for, mistakes the real Jin had made and left for him to handle. However, he pulled out his sword, and the spectators cheered.

As everyone was deluding themselves into thinking the match was already won, a particular person among them frowned.

"That isn’t Jin?" Tasha muttered.
