《Wanderer》chapter 5 Rise of the Trickster
Advertisement
Jack sits down on the bed, planning his next moves.
“That girl have a huge potential, with the right knowledge she could build artifacts powerful enough to destroy cities, she could become a good minister of research for my empire. Also she looks cute and crazy... Jack likes. But if I rescue her Ill become enemy of the Holy kingdom of Arcad, what kind of idiot puts holy kingdom on its country name? It sounds stupid. Ok back to planning, lets not get sidetracked, theres not much time, shell get public executed tomorrow at noon. Talking about public executions, I could put a coliseum on my empire and make criminals fight each other to death instead of executing them it could be fun, the policy of bread and circus were useful for the Romans. Shit! Sidetracked again. Its too early to become enemy of a whole country even if its a country of crazy close minded fanatics... Ok especially if its a country full of fanatics. Shit... Ill need to release the trickster, I worked so hard to suppress my chunny side, now I need it. First I need to erase the adventurers memory about me, my level is too high, it could lead people to discover Im the trickster. Second go to the commercial district and find equipment and provisions, erase shopkeepers memory about me and what I want. Third, wait for the night and steal equipment and provisions. Fourth, Unleash the trickster and its awesomeness over the city in a flashy and overpowered way while rescuing Solis”
The next day
Jack stands on the roof of a house overlooking the city plaza while hiding his presence, people starts to gather to see the execution thatll happen in 20 minutes. He checks last night haul for the last time. He got a suit enchanted to clean and repair itself and always fit the wearer, a black hooded cape that allow him to become a shadow and move between them, several ores and ingots, alchemy and enchanting supplies, food, pieces of cloth and string, paints and over 5000 gold. He also forged a obsidian mask and painted a red smile on it. He wears the suit, mask and cape and makes a cane of kinect energy surrounded by a illusion to make it black, his horns are appearing since theres no illusion hiding them. The guards bring Solis to the execution, a headsman stands with a huge black axe, several paladins stand guard including their captain, 12 priests and the city high priest are waiting for her. The high priest gives a sermon and shes forced to knew, the headsman lifts his axe. Jack uses telekinesis to increase the volume of his voice.

-Im afraid I cant let you do that.
“[Psy Spyke]”
A spike of kinect energy is shot and pierces the headsman head, jack uses his telepathic abilities, a voice comes from the skies.
-HEADSHOT
He uses his cape to move to Solis shadow.
-[VADER GRIP]
The high priest is lifted in the air by the copy of force choke, his lifeless body falls on the ground.
The paladins unsheathe their swords and charge, jack extends his left hand to them.
-[Thousand nightmares]
A black stream of psychic energy leaves his hand and engulf the paladins, they fall on the ground screaming, each of them would face a thousand nightmares, that can kill them in real life. Jack snaps his fingers and the chains on Solis break, the paladin captain looks at jack horns then to his face and shouts.
-A demon came to save the heretic, Im Sir Reginald Minumus the third templar captain. Name yourself DEMON!!!!
-kukukukuku. I have many names. Im the son of the black moon, to my enemies the herald of doom, the one who whispers in the night, the one whos unable to lose a fight, Im the one who wont knell to god or king, Im The Trickster.
Jack makes an exaggerated bow and the paladin prepares a technique, but before he can finish it jack close his distance and swings his cane. The paladin is sent flying, breaks the temple door and crashes dead on the altar destroying it. The guards call reinforcements, he puts a barrier around Solis and shouts.
-THOSE WHO WISH TO FACE DEATH COME AT ME!!!!! This city is twisted and full of closed minded hypocrites, you all pretend to follow and do the will of gods but use theyr name to kill and seek power. Youre all greedy, corrupt and foolish. I can feel and see the darkness the dwells in your minds, youre no better than her, actually shes better than all of you at least shes not a hypocrite!

The reinforcements come, 50 paladins and 200 guards walk in formation preparing to face jack. Jack smiles. The first wave of guard charge at him, he jumps and releases a shockwave from his hand, the guards have their ribcages smashed and are sent back and fall on the ground. Jack make his nanites play I need a hero, this song would be the soundtrack of the massacre that was about to happen.

Jack swings his cane and sends a guard flying against the paladins they lift theyr shields but the impact breaks their formation, he dashes to them and trusts the cane on the belly of a paladin. The paladin pukes blood and is sent flying dead. Jack spin his cane and swings it upward against another paladin head, his skull breakes and hes tossed in the skies outside the city walls.
-GO TEAM ROCKET!!!
A paladin uses [judgement slash] and a blade of light comes in jack direction, he dodges with me minimum effort and the attack cuts 2 paladins in half. He swings his cane downwards an smashes the paladin skull, than he slaps another one with that back of his hand a wave of kinect energy comes out and send another 13 paladins against a wall, they crash the wall and a a pillar and the building collapses. The rubble fall over 20 paladins and 30 guards burying them.
Hack points to the sky.
-[Orbital Bomb]
A sphere of telekinetic energy is formed and starts to suck the soldiers and paladins, the remaining paladins and 137 guards start to orbit the sphere their bodies and armors are smashed, suddenly the sphere explodes, the resulting shockwave destroy everything in a 200 meters radius. Jack floats to Solis and extends his hand.
-Come with me and Ill give you the power to destroy this country you hate so much.
She smiles and takes his hand. Jack takes of his mask, charms and kiss her. Her eyes widen, her minds being filled with knowledge thousand of years ahead of her time, knowledge of advanced cultures and races, about her savior his clan and his mission. Shadows engulf both of them and they disappear.
