Chapter 12
"Peasants!" Sullivan roared, his voice shaking the ground. "You filthy, miserable rats! You dare use tricks against a noble of the King? You dare dirty my armor?"The Baron threw his sword into the mud. He didn't need it. He raised both of his heavily armored hands toward the sky. The air around him suddenly grew incredibly hot. The remaining fog instantly burned away. The ambient mana in the air began to spin rapidly, pulling toward the Baron like a violent tornado. "He’s casting!" Victor screamed, his eyes widening in pure terror. He recognized the stance. "Arthur! He's drawing too much power! It’s high-tier destruction magic!"Arthur immediately understood the threat. The Baron was angry. He no longer cared about recovering the Ley-crystal safely. He was going to wipe the entire village off the map in a single strike. Above the Baron’s head, a sphere of fire began to form. But it wasn't normal fire. It was dark, condensed red plasma, roaring and crackling as it sucked the oxygen
Chapter 11
The sound was deafening. Fifty heavily armored warhorses charging at full speed across frozen ground sounded like an earthquake tearing the world apart. Baron Dominic Sullivan rode at the very tip of the wedge formation. His golden, magical armor burned so brightly in the morning light that it hurt to look at him. He held his blazing broadsword high above his head. He didn't look at the village as a place where people lived; he looked at it as a pile of dirt hiding his treasure. "Burn it all! Leave none alive!" the Baron roared, his voice echoing with magical amplification. Behind him, the elite Sorcerer-Knights lowered their long, heavy lances. The tips of the weapons crackled with blue lightning and red fire. They expected to hit the village square in seconds. They expected the mud to be slick with the blood of screaming, running peasants. They did not expect the ground to fight back.Arthur stood completely still in the center of the main road, just twenty yards behind the firs
Chapter 10
Arthur used his stick to draw a complex, zigzagging pattern in the mud. It was a layout entirely alien to the medieval warfare of this world. Knights fought in lines, charging bravely forward on open fields. Arthur was introducing them to trench warfare. "You will dig trenches three feet wide and five feet deep, in a zig-zag pattern across the entire front entrance of the village," Arthur commanded. "You will pile the loose dirt in front of the trenches to create a barrier. If they charge us, they cannot ride horses over the gaps. If they shoot magic at us, the earth will absorb the blast."Victor stared at the drawing in the mud. His eyes widened slowly as he realized the brutal genius of the design. "By the gods... they won't be able to hit us, but we can stab up at their horses' bellies from below.""Exactly," Arthur said. "Get to work. The ground is frozen, so it will be hard. But if you stop digging, you die."For the next four hours, the village of Oakhaven transformed from a
Chapter 9
"A fortress? Are you insane?" The desperate voice cut through the stunned silence of the crowd. Jason Lee pushed his way to the front of the villagers, his face red with fear and anger. He pointed a shaking finger directly at Arthur. "We are farmers! We have sick women and starving children! The Commander has twenty heavily armored knights out there!" Jason yelled, turning to the crowd. "Listen to me! The boy has lost his mind. He killed a royal guard. That is treason! If we tie him up and drag him to the Commander right now, they might show us mercy. They might just take him and let the rest of us live!"A few of the older villagers shifted uncomfortably, murmuring in agreement. The fear of the nobles was deeply drilled into their minds. Fighting back was impossible. Surrender was the only way peasants survived.Arthur didn’t argue. He didn’t yell or defend himself. He simply walked back over to the headless, rotting corpse of the Alpha Hound. With his foot, he kicked the heavy iro
Chapter 8
Both massive beasts crashed violently into the stone wall of the burning house, their bones cracking loudly against the hard surface. They collapsed in a tangle of rotting limbs, stunned and trying to stand on the slippery ice. Arthur didn't give them the chance. He walked calmly across the ice, his boots crunching softly. He stepped up to the struggling beasts, raised his kinetic pitchfork, and thrust it downward twice in rapid succession. BOOM! BOOM! Two deafening explosions of kinetic force shattered the air. The skulls of the Grave-Hounds evaporated into fine dust, leaving nothing but headless, rotting piles of flesh on the ground. Arthur pulled his weapon back, the geometric runes slowly dimming to a soft glow. He looked at Victor Kelly. Victor was breathing heavily, holding his empty hands up. He stared at the pulverized monsters, then looked at Arthur. Victor had fought in massive magical wars. He had seen elite Sorcerer-Knights cast great fireballs and lightning storms. B
Chapter 7
Time seemed to stop completely. To Clara and Eliana, the Grave-Hound was a blur of rotting flesh, glowing green eyes, and razor-sharp iron teeth. It was a monster from the darkest nightmares, descending upon them with impossible speed.But to Arthur, everything moved in slow motion. The moment the beast crashed through the wooden doors, Arthur’s mind went to work. His newly formed Aetheric Core—the spinning ball of pure white energy in his chest—pumped highly condensed mana into his bloodstream. His brain processed the threat faster than any normal human could. He saw the angle of the beast’s descent. He calculated its weight, its speed, and its exact trajectory. Arthur did not panic. He let go of the broken wooden ladder and dropped down to the dirt floor, landing perfectly between his sister and the monster. He raised the rusted, modified pitchfork. He wrapped both of his hands tightly around the wooden handle, placing his fingers directly over the glowing purple geometric lines
