"Hello, Destroyer, we finally meet." [Josep]
Destroyer looked at the boy with black eyes and black hair. Although, he is still a boy but his instinct tells him that this boy is very strong.
Somehow he also feels intimate feelings that make him want to thrust this boy. The destroyer wants to reply to the boy but he can't even move his mouth.
"Don't bother to reply, I put a very potent anesthetic on your body otherwise you will break down from all the pain caused by your unbalanced body.
Still, I cannot wait for your body to adapt to your current situation. I need some information from you. Now, can you try to focus on your memories?" [Josep]
After saying that, he immediately grabs Destroyer's head and begins to read all his memories. Meanwhile, the destroyer found a strange sensation in his mind but he couldn't resist it.
From the memories, I got a lot of information about the destroyer. His real name is Bezir. He comes from one of the kingdoms in the Neviret continent a.k.a the magician heaven.
According to his memory, he is one of the prestigious mage in the kingdom before being betrayed by nobles.
Because of that he loses his family during that time. In despair, He lost his mind and dabbled in black magic.
Black magic is sinister magic that may have a bad effect toward the user or other people especially the one with unstable emotion. Sometimes this magic requires sacrifice of others' lives but the effect is very potent.
Although it is called black magic, it is actually just normal magic with a special requirement to cast it. The people of Neviret continent just label it as black magic because of their sinister effect. Although ancient spells usually are more sinister than this so-called black magic.
After receiving condemnation from the magician society, he begins mass destruction as retaliation around the kingdom. This mass destruction leads him to get the nickname [The Destroyer].
Since then he has always been on the run before finally being recruited by the Behemoth organization.
As he already loses everything and his sane mind, he quickly rises into top rank in organization. I managed to get a lot of information about the Behemoth from him and their current movement.
After sorting out all the Bezir's memories, he let the restrained man back to sleep. Josep needs him in one of his plans.
Moreover, his chaos body is quite unique. It can squish the life force of one being to empower the being for 10 times more powerful during a certain period of time.
Combining with the chaos gem, he didn't need to squish his life force anymore. But, he only needs to use the chaos gem as medium to use the mageforce from the surrounding.
Basically, it made him have perfect affinity towards all elements by using this method. However, he first needs to adapt his body with the chaos gem itself.
Done with Bezir business, he returns to his adult form and trains his body in the most concentrated gravity area.
A week later, I got a letter from the Bardur Ironhead, the dwarf that had competition with him at the blacksmith guild seven years ago.
During all this year, we kept contacting one another to do some exclusive trade especially in raw material while I provided them with low grade weapons.
The letter contains an invitation to their mountain. It seems the dwarf elder wants to talk to him about the production of grade 4 weapons. It seems they still try to research it during all these years.
They will send an envoy from the blacksmith guild to become my guide to their mountain. Although, that the letter is written in a polite manner but it actually is not given me any choice to refuse them.
Fortunately, I also don't need to reject the invitation. For him the dwarf community is the same as the gold mine.
Even though money is second to one individual strength in this world. But with money it can make the world run. It can provide him some advantage on many occasions.
I already have enough strength to walk on Hirth without being afraid, but I still need money. If I keep tyrannically abusing my strength, I may become the number one public enemy like in my past life.
I accepted the invitation and will go at two days' time. I still need to get permission from the academy. After the incident, the academy rules become stricter about people getting in and out from it.
It is compulsory to get permission from the headmaster for students that want to leave the academy ground.
Moreover, all the permission must be for very urgent matters. Fortunately, the dwarf community already sent a letter to the academy about their current intention.
All I need to do is just ask permission before I will be permitted to leave. Actually, this is a perfect situation to me. I also planned to slip up from the academy since I need a lot of things to do outside the academy.
The timing dwarfs the community sending their invitation is good. It let me save a lot of trouble from creating a perfect excuse to slip up from the academy.
Since nobody pays attention to me at the moment, this will also become easier. As for the bald prince and that Coldhearth brat that always harassed me in the past months, they change their target on Hilbert after being beaten by him at their tournament.
For Hilbert this will be a good opportunity to enhance his battle experience. Few days ago, I mercilessly beat Hilbert until almost all his bones were broken.
This incident happened because I was disappointed at Hilbert. After the tournament, Hilbert's growth became stagnant because of his overconfidence which infuriated me.
In the past few days, I kept beating Hilbert without healing him at all. I also forbid him to heal his wound from potions or infirmary.
I want him to experience battle while sustaining life threatening wounds. I want to teach Hilbert to not make many useless moves when fighting. As fighting itself is not ordinary battle but dance with life and death.
After packing my things, I went to Eve and told her that I will leave the academy for a certain period of time. Hearing the news, Eve begins to hug me on her own. She asked me to bring her too, but I rejected.
In these past years, Eve is already very comfortable with my presence. She will become an airhead if she does not meet me at least once a day. Although she didn't show it from the outside but actually she is now quite dependable to me.
I only managed to calm her down after teasing her and giving her a promise for dinner at a later date. Even though Eve is already more mature than her age, she still becomes very spoiled around me.
Third Person POV
Few days later, Josep arrived at the Silver mountain, home of the dwarf community that resided at Rosewood Kingdom. The journey toward the mountain is very uneventful since I got some bodyguard from the blacksmith guild.
As for bandits, they don't dare to attack us since the blacksmith guild also deals with the huge bandits group to supply them. In Hirth, blacksmith guilds are basically a legal weapon arm dealer. Like any weapon dealer, they also sometimes made a hidden deal.
Because of their huge influence, they often sell the weapon to both sides without caring for others' reaction. He also heard some stories about this from the guild's envoy.
Once there is a nation that tries to sabotage the blacksmith guild inside their nation. Later, the blacksmith guild refused to sell their arm to this nation which let the nation become in a vulnerable state from another nation.
Soon the nation was destroyed by an invasion of a nearby nation. Although, the nearby nation is stronger than that destroyed nation but the majority reason it lost is because the soldiers lack good quality weapons and armor.
Since this incident, there are no nations that try to make things difficult toward blacksmith guilds.
However, the dwarf community case in the Rosewood kingdom is different. Although, they often get requests from the royal family but the one that makes things difficult is the dwarf community itself.
They actually know blacksmiths that could create grade 4 weapons however all of them are very busy and located far away from the Rosewood kingdom.
They are also too prideful to ask other dwarf communities for help. Because of this, they are now in a dilemma to fulfil the crown prince request to make the grade 4 weapon.
Although they already prolong such a request with the excuse that creating a grade 4 weapon is too hard. But, later they dig graves for themselves by keeping their useless pride.
Until they received a certain news during the royal academy tournament. It is also the reason why they invited Josep. They find out that the weapon Hilbert used to destroy Neil's armor is made by him.
Before the dwarf community didn't care about him because of his ridiculous request, they only thought of him as a normal skilled blacksmith. But, now they just hope to negotiate with him about this matter.
They knew that this armor is grade 3 that can withstand Bardur's axe, which is a grade 3 weapon that sometimes destroys other grade 3 armor. After investigating further, they found that Hilbert got his gauntlet from Josep.
Actually, he leaks this news purposely to bait the dwarf community. It will be a waste if his creation only becomes his subordinate weapon. Now, the fish already bite the bait and he just needs to pull them up.
