Ben's new magic revolver has been created. He wants to make some new magic knives with left-over materials. But it can wait until he has the time to craft them. Now, he is ready to take another difficult job, and that's what he does.
Ben takes a job with high difficulty alone again. His job is to hunt some Vulcans that kidnapped some villagers. Roubaul has deducted that the Vulcans kidnap the villagers to Take-Over their bodies.
That's why for this job, Ben needs to be careful and doesn't kill the Vulcans that might be the possessed villagers. He needs to knock them unconscious so that the Vulcan's soul will leave the villagers' bodies.
"Then my new weapon will be useless in this job," Ben says with a disappointed expression.
"Well, this is the job, so you need to do it. The other jobs are in other guilds' territory or too difficult. You can use your new weapon in the future," says Roubaul.
Ben sigh and accepts the job. He needs to be professional as a guild's mage and take the job that is given to him. Ben gets ready and goes to the location.
The location is on a village around Mt. Hakobe. That mountain is the habitat for Vulcans who live in mountain caves. It's not only Vulcans that live there, many monster species also live on the mountain.
Even so, many humans still choose to live near Mt. Hakobe. That place has many resources even though it's dangerous, after all. It's a high-risk high-reward kind of situation.
Ben goes in his car like usual. But now Bella joins him, so he is not alone. Bella has a life-saving weapon now, so Ben is not too worried if she joins him. But she will still not participate in the battle.
"I need to be careful with their Take Over magic. Different from human's Take Over that takes over the creature's power, these Vulcans are really taking over someone's body.
"In case of mage, Gramps said they can only use their magic on a weakened mage. So I need to avoid injury and gets weakened," ponders Ben.
Ben thinks of his strategy to defeat the Vulcans without endangering the villagers. It will be really difficult because he needs to hold back. But if he's not using enough power, he can't defeat the Vulcans. The situation is very tricky.
After an hour, Ben reach the village that sent the job. Ben goes to neet the Village Chief and asks for detail. The Chief explain it detailly to Ben & Bella.
8 people were kidnapped when they worked on the field. Someone saw the culprit be Vulcan, so they post a job on the magic guilds.
"8 villagers, so there will be at least 8 Vulcans there. Alright, I will take care of it. Let's go, Bella!" Ben takes Bella to find the Vulcans.
Ben tries to find the Vulcan's trails around the village. He finally finds a trail and follows it toward the mountain. The trail then meets with some other trails with similar shapes, so they must be close now.
Ben & Bella finally find a big cave that seems to be where the Vulcans live. They enter the cave and walk stealthily to not alert the Vulcans inside. They finally reach a big room and hear Vulcan's voice.
They peek and see there are 9 Vulcans inside. Vulcan is a primate-like monster with a big body & arms. The Vulcan in this cave has white fur and black skin.
'9, are these all of them?' thinks Ben while looking around.
Ben uses his magic sense and doesn't find another Vulcan. So his targets are these 9, which makes him sigh in relief. Too many Vulcans will make the fight more difficult.
Ben asks Bella to hide while he will engage the Vulcans. Bella nods and hides behind a rock. Ben confirms that Bella has hidden, then he launches his attack.
"Sun Dragon's Bomb!"
Ben makes a small sun ball on his right hand. Then he throw it in the middle of the Vulcan group. The Vulcans are surprised, but they can't get away when the bomb explodes.
*BOOM* The bomb explodes, but the power isn't as strong as usual. Ben uses less power on this bomb to not kill every Vulcan and not make the cave collapse.
The Vulcans get flung away and they crash to the cave walls. The ones who were close to the explosion get quite the damage, and 2 of them fall unconscious now. The 2 Vulcans then turn into villagers, and the Vulcans' souls leave their bodies.
The Vulcans roar in anger and shout loudly at Ben. Ben just smirk and taunt them with his hand. The Vulcans are intelligent, and they understand that Ben is looking down on them.
The remaining 7 Vulcans rush at Ben. Ben use his light element to cover his feet and sun element on his hands. It will make his movement faster, and his punch stronger.
A Vulcan jumps at Ben and sends a punch with its big fist. Ben slides forward and gets under the Vulcan. He grins and sends a strong punch to the Vulcan's crotch.
"I hear Vulcans are perverts, so this is your retribution," says Ben with a mischievous tone.
The Vulcan realize it too late and gets its crotch punched viciously. It fall on the ground with closed legs, twitching body, frothing mouth, and its eyes rolled back. Then it turns into a villager.
"Three done, 6 to go," says Ben while grinning.
Ben looks at other Vulcans who reflexively close their legs and cover their crotch with their hands. They never thought that Ben will be this shameless & vicious.
"If I'm not wrong, all of you are males, right? The female Vulcans are in Rose Mountain, after all. Hehe, do you want me to make that thing bigger?" asks Ben with a sinister smile.
The Vulcans shiver and shake their head rapidly. But Ben doesn't care for their answer and rushes at them with his sinister smile. The Vulcans are panicking and they run away from Ben.
Ben runs at a fast speed toward the Vulcans. He gets behind a Vulcan and sends a kick between its legs. The Vulcan gets flung upwards and receives the same fate as the previous Vulcan.
Ben wants to chase the other 5 Vulcans, but they've rush at him first. The Vulcans jump together because they think Ben can't take all of them at once. But they underestimate Ben too much.
Ben gets closer to a Vulcan, then he grabs the first Vulcan's fist. Ben redirects the fist to the second Vulcan's crotch while sending a knee kick to the first Vulcan's crotch. Ben's knee hit the first Vulcan at the same time when the punch hit the 2nd Vulcan.
"Double Kill," says Ben satisfied.
The 3rd Vulcan attack Ben from behind with a punch. But Ben just slides backward and gets under the 3rd Vulcan. The Vulcans are 2 or 3 times taller than him, so he is now under the Vulcan.
Ben sends a back elbow to the 3rd Vulcan's crotch and finishes it. The 3rd Vulcan doesn't transform into a human. So it hasn't Take Over a human's body.
Then when the last 2 Vulcans come to him, Ben throws the 3rd Vulcan at them and stops their movement. When they stop, Ben flashes to their crotch and sends double punches with both his hands.
The last 2 Vulcans fall unconscious too and transform into a human. Then for the one that doesn't transform, Ben beat it up again to make sure of it. But even after he kick & punch its crotch numerous times until it's little Vulcan swollen, the Vulcan doesn't transform.
"Good, it's a real Vulcan's body. But finally, I defeat every Vulcan even though I used an 'unusual' technique," says Ben.
"Despicable," says Bella to Ben.
"You don't need to be so direct." Ben sweatdrop at Bella.
Even if Ben is despicable, but his job has finished easily.
