The Jorogumo appeared in front of Rainn. He is smiling. Or actually, smirking. Rainn can see the terrifying smirk of this supernatural creature and he feels another emotion enveloping him other than fear. It was anger.
"You ever look yourself in the mirror?" Rainn asked, sarcastically.
The Jorogumo laughed. As if astonished by Rainn's word.
"You're a funny guy. What's your name?" Asked the Jorogumo. "My name is Labar."
"I don't care and don't have any intentions of giving my name," Rainn said.
"Wow, I don't know there's a stubborn human like you. You seem like you don't realize what situation you are in right now," Said Labar, the Jorogumo.
He walked with eight big legs toward the desk. Then opened the drawer. He looked at the tools for a few seconds. After that, Labar grabbed a pincher.
"Tell me," he walked towards Rainn. "Who tells you that I'm a supernatural in disguised."
"Ask your mom."
'BAK!'
Rainn screamed when the pincher hit his rib.
"I have all day, boy. You burn down my restaurant so I cant open up for dinner tonight." Labar said with a voice that vibrated from anger.
"I will pull your teeth for every stupid answer you give me."
Then Labar begins to open Rainn's mouth forcefully.
"Answer me. Who gives you the information about me?"
Rainn can see the pincher getting closer to his mouth. He immediately focused his mind to open the skill list. Rainn still has 4 skill points left because he only used 1 of them.
"Wait, I can give you the answer," Rainn said to drag the time.
"Yes? Who is it?" Asked Labar.
"There was someone. He came to me a few days ago," Rainn said. "Let me think about his name. Uhh... His name is..."
Labar looked at Rainn with confusion. Why all of a sudden he changed his attitude. Is he afraid he would pull his teeth one by one? Seems unlikely to be a stubborn man like him. Labar thinks he needs to give more to get him to speak.
Nevertheless, Labar needs to know who reveals his identity. He already paying so much money to live inside the city to the organization. And he never do anything suspicious all this time.
Rainn already started to choose one skill that he thinks may be useful for this situation.
"Come on! Say it!" Urge Labar.
Rainn looks changed. He smirks at Labar.
Labar's eyebrows curved as he looks at the boy's sudden change.
"What the hell are you smiling for?" Labar asked.
"Because it is my turn to ask the question," Rainn said.
"What?"
[ Skill activated: Thunder Step (Lv.1) ]
Static electricity starts to appear on Rainn's body. Labar's eyes looked confused.
Then suddenly, Rainn's body blinked and disappear. Along with loud thunderous sounds and sparks of lightning spreading to the surrounding area.
Labar pushed back and felt a tingling all over his body. Like being stung by a small amount of electricity.
"What the--?" Labar confused. Then he becomes more confused when he sees Rainn standing not far from where he was hanged before.
"Wow, this skill is amazing!" Rainn exclaimed. Looking at his body which is still enveloped by a small amount of electricity.
"What did you do?!" Labar asked.
Rainn didn't answer. Instead, he rushes toward Labar.
Labar sees Rainn coming and throws his hand at him. But Rainn dodge the attack because he knows it was coming.
Then Rainn punched Labar in the right ribs. But Labar didn't flinch. Almost like he didn't feel anything from that punch.
Labar snorted then laughed. Before he smacked Rainn to the wall.
"What was that? You don't have any power in that punch whatsoever." Said Labar.
Rainn brushes the blood from his ripped lips. He stands again, struggling.
There is no power in his physical attack. Is it because his strength is only at 11 points right now? If that is so, then Rainn doesn't have a choice besides attacking with magic power.
Fortunately, he already wearing the Lesser Mana Ring. Rainn looking at his MP status.
[ MP: 8/15 (+20) ]
He still has enough MP beside the consumption of the skill he uses before is pretty massive. Because it is still at Lv.1.
[ Skill activated: Ultimate instinct (Lv.2) ]
[ Skill activated: Pyrokinesis (Lv.3) ]
On Rainn's hand, Labar can see fire emerging. Labar immediately shoots his red web from his mouth. But before the red-web is even shot, Rainn suddenly ducked dan ran to the side.
The web hit the wall where Rainn was standing. It is like Rainn can almost predict his move one second before he does it.
Then Rainn throws a fireball at Labar. The fireball hit his chest. Like before, Labar was thrown to the wall behind him.
Before, Rainn can't concentrate on [ ultimate instinct ] because he is too surprised by Labar's true form. But now, he can do it properly.
Rainn can see when Labar shoots his red-web again two seconds before he does it. He moved to the side but because his agility is still at basic stats, he can't move too fast.
Rainn made his flame form into a condensed spear then threw it towards Labar.
The spear pierce his left chest. Rainn walking while creating another condensed fire-spear. Then throw it again. The spear pierces his right chest.
Labar screamed in pain. Rainn finally arrived right in front of him. Holding another fire-spear.
"Tell me how you get inside the city!" Rainn ordered.
Labar looked at Rainn with horror. He didn't know there will be another person who can wield magic this powerful. Beside them...
"Tell me and I promise I will make your death less painful," Rainn said again. Ready to throw his fire-spear.
"There's an organization named The Shadowface. They rule the underground world of Al'Modred and help supernatural like us live inside the city," Labar explained with a painful face.
Rainn curved his eyebrows, "Like you? There is another supernatural like you inside this city?!"
"Ha.. hahaha! Do you think you are safe inside the city wall? Think again, kid! The supernatural forces already moving bigger than you think."
Rainn looks at Labar with disbelief. The problem seems bigger than he thinks.
He relize Labar's movements. Rainn stabbed the fire-spear to Labar's head. The Jorogumo died immediately.
Rainn makes the condensed-fire spear dissolve with his mind to burn Labar's body. And then he walks to the stair.
Suddenly, Rainn dropped to his knees. He knows his MP is too low. Using condensed fire consumes too much of his MP.
[ MP: 3/15 ]
"Shit," Rainn mumbled.
Not long after, he went out onto the road. It turned out that he had been in the basement next to the Labar restaurant. The restaurant is now completely burnt down and the fire has been extinguished.
Rainn looking around. Nobody seems to notice. So he started to walk away.
[ Daily quest completed ]
[ Reward: 40 Exp ]
[ Exp: 85/90 ]
[ Congratulations! You leveled up! ]
[ You got 5 skill points ]
But one thing makes Rainn smile despite his whole body is hurting.
He levels up again. At this rate, he can level up every day. That means getting stronger every day.
