《The Pride Of A Talentless Nobody》Chapter 6: Flumen Valle (Part 3)
Advertisement
With both of my bare feet on top of the table, I close both of the eyes that I currently have possession over and think
So I abruptly took over his body, luckily It was suitable for me to host it...
What could this mean?
I feel something, something odd about the mana flow
WAIT IT CAN'T BE!
I perked my eyes opened and simultaneously relocated my body, and now I'm standing upright
Yes, this feeling, Mana distortion...
Essentially what this implies is that someone is tampering with the mana waves making whoever is in the vicinity weaker, especially someone that mostly uses magic, but...
Now that I think about it, it was a bit hard for me to appear again, so my conclusion to this is either:
1. we are being targeted, maybe by someone who knows about my most great conquest, or 2. There is something in this town that distorts magic
Wait-
This isn't like me, why am I beginning to get worried about this, it's just John is being affected so why am I worrying about this?
I go and sit down again, the chair being directly under me
Hell, why did I even make him my student in the first place, potential?
Oh John you are doing something subconsciously aren't ya?
"Tsk"
I stand up up this chair, albeit a bit more irritated not knowing if John is tampering with me somehow
"See ya, missy, I'll be taking my leave!" with my back turned I put my hand up to wave her off
What happened to the other tavern guests?
They all were chanting my name just a moment ago...
Was I thinking too much, that time passed as much as for me not to pick up their mana flows exiting?
What the hell is happening to me
I could have easily found a solution 1096 years ago...
I resumed my movement since I was standing still in front of the entrance...
"Miss?"
As I look over the shoulder looking back I see nothing and no one this is a little too odd
"HEY, MISS?"
No response yet, what the hell is happening why can't I pick up what's happening, IM THE KING OF HEXES DAMN IT, WHY CAN'T I PICK THIS UP!?
Whoever is messing with me I'll swiftly dispatch your worthless soul very soon...
I walk hastily towards the back of the tavern to try and go into the kitchen, but suddenly
"Bwoooooop"
"What the?"

It's suddenly nighttime?
The outside is dark, it's different than the hint of yellow it gave off seconds ago
Due to this, the inside of the tavern was pitch black and my eyes spent time adjusting to the sudden light change
"Do you want to play this game with an almighty being such as I do you now?"
I close my eyes and focus again focusing on any near mana source
Thirty?
Not that's the vicinity of 50 feet...
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING COME OUT YOU PEASANT!" Waving my arms around I shout
. . .
I stand at the same spot and nothing
"I'LL BLOW THIS DAMN PLACE UP, QUIT MESSING WITH ME YOU HAVE NO SUCH TITLE TO RIVAL ME!"
. . .
Nothing again, it was still quiet, I could hear the noise of people talking disappear to me screaming but who cares about lowly peasants like them...
The outside noise resumed and so does my ANGER
I'm getting more and more irritated, I can't use mana sensory, I'm also weakened by the mana distortion as well
Extending my arms forward overlapping the right with my left I chanted
"EAM FUMUS"
Covering the area in a thick black smoke I instantly covered 20 feet and made it to the entrance of the kitchen and looked around
The black smoke affects other's vision and other senses, I can see through it though since I have an arcane understanding of dark magic. I'm the king of Hexes after all
Quickly looking around I see nothing, they must be near the damn vicinity...
I turned back and used all my strength in my feet to boost myself out of the tavern
"Swoooosh"
Instantly I appeared in front of the road that the tavern was on and...
"CRACK, SPOOOSH"
I jumped as high as I could to located my surroundings cracking and making a dent in the road
Looking down I see people scrambling out of the area since there was a cloud of black smoke, Hell I could even hear screams from up here!
"Peasants all of them..."
Why don't I start a...
YES, A DISPLAY OF POWER SO GREAT THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO SHOW!"
Extending my arm out as I'm slowly falling I yell out another enchant
"DE IGNIS!"
A strong bright orange flame the size of a massive boulder formed
tsk not even that big due to this magic distortion
This version of ignis is stronger than the IN IGNIS I used against John, instead of smaller fragments of the flame forming it's just the big ball of fire

Hmmm, some people will get in the crossfire, what a pity that tavern was so good...
Oh well I could find another tavern, but there are going to be some casualties
It doesn't matter they are all peasants anyway...
I aimed my hand down with the boulder-sized fireball and condensed it using my other arm
It was now the size of an apple...
"AHAHAHAhHAHAHA TAKE THIS FOOL!"
"SPWEEEEEEEM"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
The fireball went fast and annihilated the tavern and then some!
100 by 100 feet it covered the road and took some buildings, but this is all with cause
The impact of the ball of fie engulfed that 100 by 100 area making that little fireball expand and expand, eating everything near it people, houses, pets, plants, air It engulfed it all
"Is that all it took?"
"EHEHEHEHHE AHAHAHAHHA"
"FOOOOOOOL AHAHAHAH!"
I laughed maniacally for one last time in the air
"CRACK BTZ"
I landed and turned around paying no attention to the big crater I made
All that to get one person,
With my hands in my pockets I slowly made it out of the vicinity, passing shocked pedestrians and scared soldiers that rushed to the scene, near the explosion sight there was the occasional crying of people who realized that someone they knew was gone but...
I miss this feeling!
BEING ABLE TO DICTATE SOMEONE'S LIFE!
With a smile on my face, I made my way to somewhere to sleep, an inn
The moon sure is lovely tonight!
Looking up at the moon for a few seconds I extend my arm
"OH!"
"There you are you little pest"
"MULTIPLEX DE IGNIS"
A whole bunch of boulder-sized fireballs appeared spontaneously
"AHHHHHH"
Pedestrians ran away and screamed as they should, realizing that I was the one who made that little hole further in town!
Looking up with my arm I quietly spoke
"Trajectory, AND DONE!"
I closed one of my eyes to find the best place to blow this load of fire I have on me
"ITS TIME FOR YOUR DEATH!"
"THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW THEW"
I commanded all the fireballs towards a certain point in the moon
And I was right again!
"BOOM-"
As I saw one of the blasts blow up, I was back at the Tavern with my feet up on the table
It was yep afternoon this was too easy-
"An illusion..."
"I'll give you props"
"BUT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD DO HURT ME, KEEP ME BOUND HERE?!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH"
The tavern guests rotated their heads to me thinking I was crazy but that did not matter what does matter is
I extend my arm over the glass window and lunge forward
"TZING CRACK PHEWWSH"
The window breaks into pieces as I throw my body against it
"GAAAAAAAAH"
I caught a hooded figure that was leaning against the window
I have a grip on his neck and I turn him around
"W-Wai-"
I put the hood back and see this, fair...
No, they need no description from me
"SCHT- AGHHH"
I look into his eyes as I perceive to choke him
his hand extended to me and naturally, that would be seen as a dangerous act no?
"SNAP"
I flawlessly broke his arm with my left arm
"AHHHHHH"
He is beet red and his eyes roll back...
"Tsk"
I look at my hand's right arm and it's all covered in cuts some places even bleeding due to me breaking that window
I stand up from him since he is neutralized
I head over to the broken window
"HEY MISSY, THAT 82 GOLD CAN COVER FOR THIS SO I'LL BE ON MY LEAVE"
The tavern was quite some people were near the window to catch what I was doing, well only defending myself of course
I turn back and grab this hooded person and drag them by the hood
"I don't want to do this but..."
I thought about it and if a guard looks at me while dragging this guy it would probably bring trouble...
I crouched down and carried the guy in my arms
Quite surprising that there was no one near this road from when I lunged at him
They would have gotten front-row seats to a one-man show...
"SWOOOOSH"
I ran and ran
and then...
"CRACK, THUMP"
I jumped 300 feet high I jumped plus the momentum I was at, I am going somewhere to interrogate this bastard
This is not your solo journey John...
I will find the culprits behind all of this and the Warlocks of Envy, Wrath, and Greed...
I will find the one's who froze you since you are my student
I will take control of all this and begin my own journey
AS I AM TURPIS THE WARLOCK OF PRIDE!

Hanging on Bones
huh?... So no reincarnation for me?...****Warning! Mature Content!****I extend my arm out as far as it goes and stab myself with all my might. The blade securely lodges between my ribs. One problem solved. Finally having my hand free I immediately bend down and scoop up flickering glass candle holder. In one swift motion I straighten out, turn and throw it at the closest of my pursuers. To my surprise it's a perfect square hit and the leading veteran crashes into the headstone he was just about to jump over. It was waaay too close for my comfort. If not for this success, shortly after I would be the one lying on the ground…----------------------My first attempt at writing a book - the way i like them.
