78 The Turning Gear [1]



An incident was never away from Jaro.

He was one of the Six Devas from the Association. Facing dungeon Breeding or monster outbreak was like having a meal for him.

However, Demon was a strange thing for him. He had never faced one before as they had suddenly disappeared a few years ago.

Who would’ve thought that they would show themselves again? By causing a grand thing such as causing a monster outbreak in C-Rank Dungeon on top of that.

As soon as Jaro received the call for reinforcement, he immediately ran toward San Diego at top speed with his [Hermes Shoes], allowing him to run around twice faster than his maximum speed. He wore black jeans and a black jacket with a white t-shirt underneath.

Car was nothing to him, he passed all of them, and he was faster than it as he could dodge some obstacles by jumping over them, allowing him to arrive in San Diego after running for only 20 minutes.

He arrived at Lake Rodes and took a good look from a distance away to find the location of the monster outbreak.

“Now, now, where are they?” He said with his hand above his eyes, eyeing the area around the lake.

As he looked around, he saw a purple dot fly into the sky. He squinted his eyes, and his lips curled into a big grin.

“That’s where the dungeon is.”

He crouched and was about to jump toward the purple thing that he saw in the sky. However, an arrow was shot from the ground before he could jump at the purple thing.

The arrow left a black trail that burned like a flame. He was familiar with it as Fire Magic was his specialty.

“Black Fire? What the fuck is that?” He exclaimed in surprise.

As someone who had read the Magic Book until the Master Book of Fire Magic, he never read anything about the black fire.

The only possibility associated with the color black was one.

“Dark Attribute Magic composite?!” Jaro shouted excitedly. “That’s so sick! And an arrow… arrow, huh…”

He remembered the guy that he saw in Los Angeles.

‘That guy uses an arrow too, right? To blow up that roof.’

A slight possibility of the guy he saw in Los Angeles being the one who fired the arrow was slim, though, as the guy that he saw was weak, only around D-Rank Awakener.-.

However, the arrow that the guy fired was stronger than that.

“Fuck. It’s useless thinking about it. Let’s just deal with the monster outbreak first.”

Finally, he ran toward the direction of where the arrow was fired, thinking that the monster outbreak was focused on that spot.

He wasn’t wrong. He jumped around the hill and mountain and finally arrived at the monster outbreak area. Many Awakeners lay on the ground, dead, but he didn’t care about that.

His attention was stolen by a big purple guy with a horn who fought a man in a suit. The man in the suit was covered in blood, and his breathing was rough.

He quickly flared his Mana to get the big guy’s attention, and he did.

The big guy, the Demon, stopped for a second. That was enough for Jaro to quickly send a torrent of fire to burn the Demon entirely.

“Got ya.” He said, approaching the man who fought the Demon and patting him on the shoulder. “You did good, pal. What’s your name?”

“Sir Jaro. My name is Frank, sir.”

“Good job, just leave the rest to me.”

Frank nodded and walked away. He trusted the person that had just arrived, as he was one of the strongest people in the Awakener Association. One of the Six Devas, a Fire Mage called the wild dog of the Association, Jaro.

“Now then, that’s not enough, huh?” Jaro mused, looking at the burning figure of the Demon.

The burned part of its body slowly mended itself as the fire disappeared. It stood high and mighty, looking down at Jaro as it sneered.

“That’s hot, human.” Its voice was deep and hoarse.

“Oh?! You can speak! So you are Mid Demon, huh? This is interesting.” Jaro raised his hand. From his palm, a blue fire burst forth.

It was hotter than the fire that he used to burn the Demon earlier. He covered his body and clothes with his Mana to avoid being burned by the fire.

“But, can you handle this, fucker?” He immediately blasted the fire to the Demon’s head, charred it, and turned it into ash.

Jaro didn’t stop there. He read a book about Demons and how to defeat them. Unless their hearts were destroyed, they would keep coming back with their insane regenerative ability.

So Jaro created three blue Fire Spears around his body as he put his hands on his pants pocket. With a slight gesture of raising his chin, the three Fire Spear impaled the Demon’s heart, killing the Demon immediately as its body fell to the ground.

“Hah! Just a big talk.” Jaro sneered as he saw the Demon’s body turning into dust. “Oh, right. Unlike monsters, they disappear when they die.”

As Demon was actually a creature created by the Demon King and only appeared when the Demon King was revived, their biology was still a mystery to humans.

Every Demon was almost unique, especially the High-Rank above; none of them was the same as each other.

“Meh, let’s just forget about that. The monsters still poured out of the fucking dungeon. That means…” A feral grin appeared on Jaro’s face. “There is still a Demon inside.”

Fire erupted from his body, covering the area around him. He spotted a few Awakeners nearby, right in front of the dungeon. Some were injured badly, so he shouted.

“Anyone who doesn’t want to get hurt gets the fuck outta here immediately!”

His voice beamed alongside a pillar of red fire that appeared in a few spots, immediately burning the monsters into ash.

He didn’t use his Blue Fire as it was overkill. Also, the normal Fire Magic took less Mana, so he preferred to use the normal fire when he fought against normal monsters.

The Awakeners who saw the pillar of fire saw hopes. Their faces brightened, and they ran away from the battlefield, ignoring their injuries.

“Thank you, Sir Jaro!”

“You have saved us!”

As most Awakeners came from the Association, most of them recognized Jaro and shouted their gratitude.

“Don’t mind it. You fuckers just better take a nap at home or hospital. Get your ass checked while you are at it!”

He lunged inside the dozens of monsters that tried to follow the retreating Awakeners. Stopping right in front of the monster, he planted his feet on the ground.

Bam!

A loud explosion was created as the ground sunk into a big crater around 2 meters deep. Although he was a Mage, his strength was also nothing to scoff at as he was an A-Rank Awakener. He did all of that while his hands were still in his pants pocket.

The monster fell to the crater, and a wall of fire erupted from the ground, circling the dungeon.

Only the path behind Jaro was not covered by a firewall. But then, the monster needed to pass Jaro if they wanted to cross it.

“Now, let’s exterminate some small fries.”

Even in the face of more than 50 C-Rank monsters, around a hundred D and E-Rank monsters combined, and more still poured out of the dungeon, Jaro didn’t show any sign of fear.

It was the confidence that he had in his strength that allowed him to stand without fear in front of such small fries.

A monster below B-Rank was no longer his enemy once he became an A-Rank Awakener. Only a B-Rank monster could give him a fight or maybe injure him.

So, he took a step forward, flaring his Mana to intimidate the monster.

“Come here, fuckers!”

***

“That’s incredible.” Frank let out an exclamation as he watched Jaro burn down the monsters easily. “Even as a B-Rank Awakener, I can’t kill C-Rank monsters easily at the same time. I need to cut them down one by one.” He said.

He was sitting with the other injured Awakeners to get healed by an Awakener who could use Healing Magic.

Unexpectedly, the one who could use Healing Magic was more than he thought, so the healing process was fast.

“Indeed, leader. Even if he looks unruly, Sir Jaro is indeed part of the Six Devas.” Frank’s subordinate answered. He looked at Jaro with respect.

“Hah!” Frank scoffed. “It’s natural that he’s strong as the Association’s head was the one who installed Sir Jaro to Six Devas. And certainly, he didn’t do so without reason.”

As much as Frank wanted to get a high position in the Association, he still respected his higher-ups, especially the strong Awakeners with a high position, including Mark and Jaro.

Although he often got angry at them, he would still praise them secretly.

“Alright, done.” The Awakener who healed Frank said, tapping his shoulder. “You’re good to go again after resting a little bit.”

“Thank you,” Frank said, standing up and brushing dust from his pants.

He then looked around a little bit, only to find that Jaro had already gotten rid of all the monsters outside the dungeon and proceeded inside.

“It’s over, huh? Only one A-Rank Awakener needed to end something that we put our lives on.” He said disdainfully.

Once again, he discovered the importance of an individual’s strength compared to a group’s strength.

Thankfully, that someone who ended the monster outbreak alone was his ally, so he put on a smile and turned to his subordinate.

“Alright! We are done here!” He shouted. “I need five people to stay here to wait for Sir Jaro. The rest will rest, and we will change shifts every hour. Understand?!” He asked.

“Yes!” His subordinate answered simultaneously, even the one who had not been healed yet.

“Good. The–” Before he finished his sentence, he noticed a surge of Mana coming from a bit distance away from him.

The sudden surge of Mana stole Frank and almost all Awakeners’ attention, and they looked in a certain direction.

As soon as they turned their heads, they saw a blazing white trail parting the cloud.

“What is that?!” Shouted one of the Awakeners.

Frank narrowed his eyes as he observed carefully.

“Is that… an arrow?” He asked as to which the other Awakeners, who could see the spearhead of the mysterious thing, answered with a silent nod.

The arrow suddenly stopped and made a nosedive to the southwest. As it changed its direction, the arrow divided into nine, each looking like a meteor from space, intending to crush the Earth.

The Awakeners could only look as the nine Meteors-like things crashed into Earth, creating loud explosions that could be heard from their location.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It repeated nine times, and Frank immediately shouted.

“That’s bad! Sent some people to the place those things crashed into! Three people who can run, follow me immediately!”

Frank ran toward the direction where he saw the arrow was first launched. Three of his subordinates followed him, and they ran at a fast speed, almost as fast as a car.

‘Who the fuck is this? Is it the same person who fired the arrow to assist us earlier?’ He asked himself, but it was to no avail.

He concentrated on running, and after a few minutes, he arrived at the peak of a mountain.

“Search the place! Find someone suspicious and report it to me!”

He had no hope of finding someone as they surely could run away, but it was proven wrong as his subordinate reported immediately after he sent out his order.

“Leader! I found someone unconscious here!”

Frank turned toward his subordinate, “Where?”

He approached him and his subordinate pointed at the ground.

Following his subordinate’s finger, he saw someone unexpected lying on the ground, unconscious.

“Isn’t he… Rai?” He muttered.

“What should we do, Leader?” His subordinate asked.

Frank fell into deep thought. Rai was someone who got him into trouble because the guy poached the Hero from the Association.

But, at the same time, Rai was the only clue he had to the one who fired the meteor-like arrow earlier.

“Tsk! Frank clicked his tongue. “Take him somewhere safe. We will question him later.”

“Yes!” His subordinate answered and picked up Rai, carrying him over his shoulder.

Seeing his subordinate left with Rai on his shoulder, Frank once again thought.

‘Why the fuck is this fucking Mercenary lay unconscious here? Did he know something that we don’t?’
