There were about thirty workers in the Rosalind family, and the young Rosalind, who would have risen to the ranks of the strongest in Rotern.
It didn’t take more than 10 minutes for them to be all wracked and tied to the ropes.
Still, it took the time it took to capture most of them. One magic was enough to subdue these guys. Basic gravity manipulation. It was magic that even an introductory wizard could use.
Jain, who lifted up all the neatly laid paving stones in the dungeon by gravity manipulation, dropped them like hail, stunning all 30 workers. At this point, the Serpent of Violence has already reached 50%. And the moment he took Rosaline’s whip and slammed it to release the annoying bun head, and wrapped his neck, the skill capture was completed. It had stolen the lightning strike.

Now, Jain clenched his fists and opened them repeatedly, while he was learning how to use the fire-fighting attack that had dug into his mind.
‘There must be a problem with just writing this.’
For Jain, there was no such thing as a family match. Fire Strike, which grows the caster every time he fights against his rival, was a skill that was not particularly useful to Jain.
‘I’ll have to come up with a proper idea later, and transform this into a new magic.’
Since it’s a skill that was stolen along with Karin, is it correct to change it to a skill for Karin? Jain, having made a decision in his heart, walked towards Rosalind. Rosalind had already passed out with her clothes half ripped.
“What, what are you trying to do?”
“No, I feel a little uncomfortable.”
It was because in the fight he had just been in contact with Rosalind’s magical powers, he felt something unfamiliar. Jain, who crouched in front of Rosalind, put the magic of a ghost shoe on his hand. Jain’s hand became translucent, allowing him to penetrate into other beings. Zain, who had been stroking Rosalind’s neck with those translucent hands, pulled out something dark. and sighed.
“Also.”
“What, what? that?”
What Jain is holding in her hand is the sechm. It was a fine needle that gave off a complex dark purple color like an amethyst. It didn’t even look like a normal thing to look at. Jain looked down at it and muttered like he was chewing it.
“The wrath of the gods.”
“That, the wrong god?”
“Idols of false gods scattered across the continent. It is a product that is made by refining the fragments that form when you break it.”
True to its origin, it had the same function as a weakened version of the curse of the false god.
‘Instead of helping you grow in the beginning, you present a personality flaw that is difficult to overcome.’
Judging by this whip, perhaps Rosaline’s flaw was ‘sadism’. Otherwise, there would be no way to choose a whip as the main weapon.
“What kind of thing is that?”
“If you put this in, you make a prodigy when you are young, but in return, you change your personality like a dick. And as you get older, the effect goes away and you become normal.”
“then… ”
Still, there are personality flaws, and you have to experience the shock of falling from a prodigy to a beomjae. There was no way his personality could not be twisted. Karin, who looked at Rosalind with a light pity for a moment, asked as if she remembered.
“Then, did that blue crane have it stuck there too?”
“no. He was just an asshole at the root.”
Jain just cut it out and said. Then, looking into the needle, he made a serious expression.
‘The problem is, these fine needles are not high-level demons, only demon king successors-level demons can process and control them.’
It was something that only appeared in the second half of the original. It was absolutely not something that would come out of a beginner’s town, like Rottern.
‘These Star Seekers are out of the blue. I wonder if all of this is part of the Jinmahuang scenario?’
I remembered what Nora had said. They were clearly promising young talents, but at some point they all said that their personalities were twisted like a devil. If this arrangement was made for other Star Seekers, I thought that this would definitely be part of the scenario.
‘From the very beginning, these things popped out, the difficulty is not normal.’
Apparently, clearing the Jinmahuang scenario was not so easy to solve. I had a feeling that any conspiracy or great crisis was lurking everywhere. Jain, who had a bitter expression on his face for a moment, scratched his head and came to a conclusion.
“Well, digging more alone is meaningless. Should I leave it to Nora?”
If this is a scenario, then according to causality, what will happen and what will not happen will not happen. It was useless to think about it alone. All of these guys, Sechim, can all be handed over to Nora, and I’ll leave it to you to dispose of them.
Having made a decision, Jain put the needle in his pocket and stood up. And, the complexion hardened.
Because the crisis in that scenario came much earlier than expected.
“───────────────────!!!”
It was a roar that shook the entire dungeon. Stalactites hanging from the ceiling could not withstand the echo and collapsed. It was several times louder than the roar that Ferrell Lich emitted from the magician’s tomb not long ago. Then, along with the shaking of the earth’s axis, a craze raged throughout the dungeon. Karin, who embraced Amduk, couldn’t resist the craze and sat down.
“───────────────────!!!”
“Is it Amthuseus? Wow, I almost would have done something a little bit late, you bastards.”
Jain muttered as he saw a giant flame lion walking towards this side with majestic steps. It was a lion with its round mane roaring like a wildfire. At each step, lava was seeping out and sparks like a tidal wave erupted. The old fire spirit Amduceus, who has lived for a thousand years. A being whose dignity was never inferior to that of the Four Heavenly Kings, angered by the evil deeds of Rosalind and others, revealed themselves.
‘If I hadn’t dealt with these children here and now, he would have run into a runaway and attacked Rotern.’
That must have been one of the branches of the early Qin Mahuang scenario. Clearly, there must have been enormous human casualties. It was fortunate that Jain and Karin put them down early. It was a disaster of the level of the Four Heavenly Kings before it even started, and it was a really crazy level of difficulty. Apparently, Jain was caught in the fate of having to clear such a thing.
Suddenly, Amduceus came close enough to make eye contact with Jain and Karin. Amduk, who was held in Karin’s arms, was crying cutely without realizing the situation. Enraged to the point of losing his mind, Amduceus, as soon as he saw the two of them, poured out flames from his mouth in a question-and-answer dance.
“Ugh!”
Karin closed her eyes from the hot embers. What would happen if you cut an active volcano in half and let the lava flow? A bright scarlet flame like the sun melted the floor of the dungeon and hit them like a flood. It was a baptism of flames that seemed to melt even if it touched the bones. However, the flame was interrupted by Jain’s two gestures.
“Calm down.”
The ice wall soared from the floor like a breakwater, catching all the flames without spilling a single piece of it. Even after being hit with a direct hit that melted even stones, the ice wall remained intact. It was because the magic of the person who built it was so strong and dense.
“We have no hostility.”
There was a deep resonance in Jain’s voice. Clearance magic to clear the state of confusion was contained. Hearing these words, Amduceus finally came to his senses and stopped the runaway. It seemed that reason enough to be able to talk has returned. Jain, who confirmed that fact, swung his arms and took the wall of ice. The castle of ice that suddenly appeared, melted like a mist with a single gesture.
“Who are you? Are you a modern sage?”
Amthuseus’s voice was surprisingly feminine. There was a soft anger in his voice. Jain scratched his head and said.
“Because we have no hostility.”
“The pain and anger of my children permeate this whole place. It is also full of hostility towards humans. But are you planning on getting away with it?”
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
Jain was catastrophically clumsy in giving an explanation like this. The atmosphere, which had subsided for a while, began to cool down again. It was Karin who mediated this.
“Sorry. Humans have harmed your family… It was very difficult.”
Because Karin hugged Amthuseus’ muzzle and stroked his cheek. As if really sad, a single stream of tears was running down his eyes. It felt like it had to be. The element Karin is most specialized in is fire. So, she was now resonating with Amduceus.
“You… ”
Amthuseus shut his mouth. A more detailed explanation was given by Amduk, who was in Karin’s arms. It was because Amduk, who got out of his arms and climbed over his head, explained the situation diligently while struggling.
“is it.”
Hearing all Amduk’s explanations, Amduceus spoke in a voice that had obviously softened his anger.
“Did you rather save my child? Thank you.”
After speaking, Amduceus quietly licked Karin’s forehead. Even though it was the same action as a dog licking its owner, for some reason it was full of dignity. It even felt sacred.
“ah.”
A scarlet crest was suddenly engraved on Karin’s forehead. It was Amthuseus who bestowed his blessings. It was a blessing that greatly increased affinity with flame-based magic. It was very rare to receive the protection of a high-ranking spirit like Amthuseus. Searching the world, there would be fewer than ten. Amduceus licked Karin’s forehead in embarrassment once more.
“Your temperament resembles a flame. It’s a familiar scent. At first glance, it looks scary and ferocious, but as you get closer, you are destined to present warm energy and strength to those around you.”
“thank you. I, by the way, why such a present… ”
At the spirit’s words, Karin bowed her head in greeting. Amthuseus looked contented, and turned around, waving his tail dignifiedly and away.
“It’s the price I pay for taking care of my child.”
“Yes?”
“He wants to follow you.”
Of course, it must have been Amduk, whom Karin and Zain had saved. Amduk, who looked like a little puppy, really cried like a puppy when he heard that.
“king!”
Then he started to hit the ball on Karin’s chest. There was a spark on his back, but it didn’t harm Karin. This was because the spirit’s flame did no harm to those who recognized it. Karin, who held Amduk in her arms, looked around in bewilderment and asked Jain.
“Uh, what? Can I take this guy with me? What?”
“Whatever, I have to raise it.”
Spirits don’t allow anyone’s heart. And, among the spirits that can be tamed, Amduk was a very good quality spirit. Considering Karin’s aptitudes, it could be said that she was the best spirit for Karin.
‘It will help a lot in the growth of this guy.’
The Jinmahuang scenario seems to be much more difficult than expected. In clearing it, Amduk would definitely be of great help. Reaching out his hand and stroking Amduk’s head, Jain said seriously.
“Let’s take responsibility and grow together.”
“Books, responsibility?”
Karin’s face turned red. Then, while hugging Amduk tightly, he nodded. With a smile, Jain ordered the next task.
“Now then, let’s submit photos with those tied ups to Nora.”
Clearly, he would give an appropriate disposition. The two of them loaded the laborer and Rosaline, who had fainted while struggling, onto the wagon, and set off the horse. This was the end of Karin’s guild registration test.
*
The next day after that, Helena’s cafe was closed.
“Keeing… ”
“What, what? He must be sick… Do something!”
Karin was crying and patting Amduk on the back. But Jain, who was reading the book, said coldly.
“It seems like you’re just giving yourself too much milk just because you’re cute.”
“What, what? Are you saying it’s my fault?”
“uh.”
For some reason, the two were arguing over Amduk. It was because Karin, who didn’t know what to do because Amduk was cute, was overprotective. Karin said with a snort.
“Aren’t you really insensitive? He said he would take responsibility!”
“If you interfere like that, one by one, that’s the shortcut to becoming a bad mother, right?”
“What, bastard? Have you finished talking?”
“Keeing… ”
After arguing for a while, Amduk got up from his cradle and rubbed his cheek against Jain. He was a very friendly guy. Hearing Amduk’s words, Jain sighed. Karin opened her eyes and asked for an interpretation. Because only Jain could read and interpret the will of Amduk the baby.
“What, what?”
“Mom, Dad, don’t fight. You say?”
“What, what?”
Karin’s face turned red at those words. Zain closed the book and stroked Amduk’s head.
“I think this guy is looking at you and me as mom and dad.”
“Um, mom… And, Dad? you?”
Karin’s face, speaking those words, was even redder than her own hair. Karin, who had been bouncing around while holding her ponytail, immediately screamed as if in embarrassment.
