"You piece of shit, now I know why you talk like a smartass," I gripped the Jinn tighter, "so my crazed cousin programmed all you shits to go around spreading such pathetic cursed magic huh," I went on, "a pity he would go to such lengths, but now I know what type of Jinn you are to get rid of now."
The Jinn stopped moving and went still in my hands.
"herghhh...hik hik….. you can't beat sufian…. little girly….you ain't shit…"
The Jinn cackled and I had to resist the urge of sticking my fingers up his gaping nostrils. Wait, why did I have to resist? I quickly shoved two fingers into his nose as I tried to find a perfect angle to finish him off. I sat him on the toilet seat and gripped him tightly so that he couldn't move.
"EEEEEKKKK… YOU UNDIGNIFIED PEASANT….WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY NOSE!"
The Jinn squealed and squirmed in my grip, but all of a sudden, stopped. Its' nostrils started to get bigger and longer. The Jinn smirked with thin lips as it saw my disgusted face. What in the world… My fingers started to disappear into his nostrils, and I quickly pulled my fingers out, I shook them and got rid of some type of dark and murky liquid.
"Bro, why are your boogers black?"
"BOOGERS-," the Jinn looked shocked and it fumed as the flames around us grew thicker.
Wide nostrils flaring, the Jinn took his hood off and I couldn't help but gasp out. I shivered at what was carved into his bald and wrinkly head. Trying to get a good look at the picture, I took a look at the back of his head from the mirror. What the-
"Out of all the intimidating marks that you could have chosen, why did you choose frickin' broccoli?"
The Jinn huffed as it got up in my face, so much for looking intimidating broccoli-ass. I smirked and the Jinn pushed me against the wall. The mirror in front of me gave me perfect access to all of his back area. Both his neck and head were exposed. Perfect angle spotted. Now, I just need to stall for time.
"It has a meaning...my lord chose it after many thoughts… you are all being deceived… Jinns will start to get the freedom that they have always deserved...hik hik...kherghhhh," the Jinn smiled in my face as it licked its lips.
I narrowed my eyes. What is my crazy cousin doing? My head throbbed as I tried to remember more about him. He erased many people's memories of him so he can be in an anonymous figure and live in seclusion. But, from recent years, stories of him spread all across the Kingdom. He is infamous in the magic world. Controlling Jinns, entering the black market, cursing lands, people, affecting aristocratic nobles, demolishing hierarchies, and the list of evil acts continue. He did it all, to many countries in the entire Kingdom. His purpose is unknown, though it is said that the Crown Prince of the kingdom has reached a deal with him and negotiated a deal to keep peace within the empire. There hasn't been much talk going around about Sufian lately, so it seems like the Prince's efforts at protecting humanity seemed to work.
The Jinn still had glazed eyes as it explored imagination land and it's many possibilities at leading a great future of freedom and power. As much as I hated to admit it, the Crown Prince was a better ruler than the previous leading powerhouses. He promised change, and he brought change. Many citizens flourished and it is noticeable how much everyone's daily lives have changed from that point on. The City of Karandish was once filled with slums and ghetto alleys and roads that were so dangerously corrupted, it was inhabitable.
The death count in Karandish was even higher than the death toll that happened in wars that took place during these times. It's so surprising to see how the most desolate city can turn into the richest city in probably the entire empire.
I was getting tired of dealing with the Jinn, and I also noticed how the flames around me started to disappear as well. The Jinn was getting tired as well, exhaustion hanging from its body. I sighed. I should have finished this off a million years ago. I reduced my mana control around the bathroom and looked as the flames were now just sparks. The Jinn snapped out of its daze and looked down at me.
"Too late buddy, for any more tricks," I drawled, "I'm tired, you're tired, so let me just put you to rest, eternal rest at that too. How good does that sound, my friend."
I smirked up at the Jinn.
"there's no point little girly… eternal rest or whatever… I will always be revived… hik hik...kherghhhh," the Jinn laughed.
Yep, it prolly fried its brain.
"Sir, I DO NOT, want to see you again, so I will make it that you can't revive," I shrugged, "sorry bro, but I think eternal rest seems about right, right now."
Before the Jinn could speak some bullshit again, I quickly pulled it's head towards my face and sank my fingers into its neck. I felt some sort of gem or rock and pulled it out quickly. As a Jinn grows weaker, the power bank at the back of their necks empties. The fastest way to kill a Jinn without mana is to pluck a stone outta their necks with just a pinch. It depends on the type of Jinn tho. This one's a Krysola Jinn. Stretches/shapes form lets out too much fire and is probably the dumbest Jinn out there. They are pretty easy to manipulate though, so that's a plus. I remember hearing from somewhere that Sufian used Krysola Jinn's so he can spread and manipulate people from much larger regions, quicker since they're easily attainable. It's an effective method if the victim is a normal citizen and not a mana-user. Otherwise, nahhh.
"Kraskora la savele," I whispered into its ear with the rock clenched in my hand.
The rock burned in my hand for a few seconds. The Jinn let out a gasp. It was a slow and painful death. Considering how much of a risk I am in if I let out any more mana the magic tower will surely be notified. The Jinn started to shrivel and shake. It became smaller and weaker. Dust started to pile at my feet and soon, the Jinn's whimpers faded away and the bathroom was silent once more. I sighed as I took in my mana again.
Depending on what level of a death spell you want to incur, there are separate curse incantations that are used. I used the most common one to get rid of Jinns. There are more steps to it, but it's more discreet in this way. I don't know my mana capacity, so judging by what I have let out today, it will trigger the magic tower to search this town, but it's not enough to call special attention from the Crown Prince. Small bursts of magic can be detected everywhere so it isn't much of a threat. I sighed as the magic veil wore off in the bathroom.
I stood there looking around the bathroom as the lights flickered back to life. I sighed and got a duster and a dustpan from a small cupboard under the sink. Shit, there was so much dust everywhere now.
I quickly cleaned up the remainders of the Jinnashes or whatever and flushed it quickly down the toilet. I glanced a look at myself in the mirror and gasped. I thought I saw a Jinn again, but it was just me. During the day, when I am at Master Thelowar's mansion, I look like a different person. But, when I come back home, I take off the face illusion. It is not much of a difference, but my more prominent features are now concealed better.
I only changed my eye color to a light brown. The darkest shade it can go to, contrary to how it was before. My eyes were an unusual golden brown color. Some used to call me pee-eyes before, so I thought of changing it to fit in better. My black hair sits on my shoulders, messy as usual. I used to have a few scars on my face, but I covered them up using another illusion. My olive skin looks as cracked as ever and I winced as I touched a few burn marks here and there. Time to use some old-fashioned methods.
I took my herbal creams and masks out from my cupboard and applied it to my face. I might have to go undercover soon, so the least I can do to make myself presentable is to freshen up my skin a little. I forget to take care of my skin since my grandmother used to take care of my skin for me. I tried brushing out the knots in my hair but saved it for later. I had better things to do anyway. I heard something scratch at my bathroom door.
I gasped, "LEELA!"
I flung the door open as I saw my small dragon resting on the ground in front of me, with sad eyes.
