Chapter 50: Chapter 47 – Beatdown

(A few minutes after the young nobles had run out of their destroyed hall)

There were a few reasons why Flynn was confident that he could take down all five people surrounding him.

The first was because Frank had trained both he and Aiden to react with little to no time to incoming danger, hence their insane mastery over the usage of mana sense in such a short amount of time.

He really attacked both of them during their training sessions like he was out for blood.

The second was because Flynn had guessed correctly that there was no way Obelisk would use any rankers above B-rank because they would considerably want to blend into the crowd and not use any high ranker that would instantly draw attention to some other powerful nobles.

The third reason was what gave him the most advantage, and that was a single rule that had always been upheld since the advent of any social gathering for nobles.

Weapons are not allowed to be taken into the hall, even in spatial rings or bracelet.

The guards were tasked to search anyone who had spatial rings on their being and if for some reason or the other, a weapon was overlooked, the hall sensors would immediately indicate and pinpoint the individual.

Now luckily for Flynn, the members of Obelisk had only brought in the bombs which they had modified without bringing in any other weapons because they had ultimately deemed it a severe waste of money and resources to also modify another set of weapons along with the bombs, especially considering the exorbitant amounts that was poured into modifying the bombs alone.

So, if combat art and magic was all Flynn had to rely on to beat the crap out of a bunch of people that were around his rank, then they were all at a very big disadvantage.

(Some minutes prior to Anna and the other nobles arrival at the last hall…)

“Should I come to you, or will you come to me?”

“What are you guys scared off?! He’s just a brat! Attack him!” the B-rank masked leader shouted, snapping his minions out of their state of fear.

‘I can’t take them all on at the same time! I have to separate them! In that case…’ Flynn thought to himself as he watched the masked men dash towards him.

The other four immediately rushed at Flynn along with their leader, all of them immediately dashing towards him now, but in an effort to take them all down one at a time, Flynn released the full extent of his bloodlust towards all of them.

The sudden release of a bloodlust even more potent than the one he had originally been leaking out caused all the five obelisk members to stay rooted to their spot for a few seconds as a feeling of indescribable dread crawled up on their skins.

Those few seconds were all Flynn needed as he immediately casted a spell to push the ringleader farther away.

‘[Telekinetic Series: Force Push]!’

-Bam!!!

The ringleader felt a sudden invisible force smack against him with a tremendous force, flinging him backwards as he crashed headfirst into a pillar that was already on the verge of collapsing, causing the rest of it to fall on him.

-Crash!!!

-Woosh!!!

Flynn upon immobilizing who he thought was going to be the most troublesome for a few minutes, immediately dashed towards the closest masked member while attempting to jam a punch through his mask but the masked man had already recovered from his state of fear and immediately threw a flurry of heavy punches at him instead.

Flynn quickly halted in his tracks and deflected all the punches with skillful palm strikes and after noticing an opening in the masked member’s wide swings, landed a solid uppercut to his jaw which caused him to stagger backwards but Flynn who wasn’t done with him, quickly landed a swift but powerful kick to his abdomen, causing the man to let out a painful sound as he flew through the air and collided with the walls of the hall, his eyes rolling back into his skull.

Flynn then suddenly felt the space around him rise in temperature due to mana sense and immediately ducked as a flaming arrow swooshed past his head.

He then turned around and ran towards the man who was now shooting bolts of flaming arrows at him in rapid succession while dodging it nimbly but as he did, another masked member also raced immediately behind him, causing him to be cornered from both his front and his back.

Flynn who had noticed this suddenly took of his coat after dodging another flaming arrow, turned around in one fluid motion, and dashed towards the man behind him instantly, the flaming arrows getting dangerously close to his back.

Upon appearing in the field of view of the masked member who was confused by his sudden movement, Flynn vaulted over his head with a somersault and wrapped his coat around the masked man’s head, entangling it with the pointed edges of the mask and effectively blocking his field of vision.

The flaming arrows that were almost about to hit Flynn, attacked the body of the masked member instead due to the fact that he had vaulted over him, causing him to release a shriek of pain as he struggled between removing the coat Flynn had wrapped over his head or putting out the flames which were now burning his body.

“Arrggghhh! Put it off! Someone put it off!!!”

Luckily for the masked member who was screaming in pain and whose clothes were now burnt from the spell of his accomplice, the latter had quickly discontinued the spell, causing the damage to be minimal.

However, that was all Flynn needed as he quickly dashed towards him in an instant, held his outstretched arm which had been firing the flaming arrow spell in place and jammed his fists with a powerful force into his joint, causing the bones to jut out unnaturally from its original placement and a painful cry to be let out from his mouth.

“Aaarrrghhh!!!”

Flynn then landed a swift and powerful hand chop to the back of his neck, causing him to faint and collapse lifelessly to the ground with a thud.

The man who had been burnt was now fuming with anger and he tore off the rest of his upper garment while also removing the coat Flynn had wrapped around his head along with his mask after which he then proceeded to attack Flynn, but as if Flynn had predicted this, he instantly dashed back towards him while appearing in his field of view.

The now burnt man upon seeing Flynn immediately threw a strong punch to which Flynn skillfully deflected with a palm strike and in one swift motion, immediately raised his legs and placed it on the man’s neck to take him down with another skillful neck scissors movement, something he successfully did as the man tumbled to the ground along with him.

Using that to his advantage, Flynn mounted on top of him and swiftly delivered two powerful punches to his face.

-Bam! Bam!

The man’s eyes had now rolled back into his skull leaving nothing but whiteness in it, an indication that he had passed out.

As Flynn was about to get up from him, he then opted to instead roll to the side, narrowly evading a small but heavy metal ball which flew past him, smashed through an already half broken pillar, and etched itself into the wall like a bullet.

Flynn immediately got up with a starfish kip-up afterwards and stared at the fourth masked man who had been cautiously waiting for the right moment to strike ever since the fight started.

‘The [Metallic Series] huh…’ Flynn inwardly thought to himself.

-Drip!

A drop of blood dropped from the right side of Flynn’s abdomen and his white shirt slowly began to take a shade of red where the metal ball had narrowly pierced by.

Flynn grimaced at this in pain and cursed.

“Shit! I noticed it from the moment it was fired but my body was too slow to react to it! Guess this is the limit of being a C-ranker” Flynn muttered to himself while holding onto the side that was now slowly leaking out blood.

“Was that all you could manage or do you still have more spells to fire?” Flynn said to the masked man who had fired the metal ball towards him.

“Ha! You arrogant brat! I was just the distraction!”

-Slip!

The moment those words left the mouth of the last masked member, Flynn watched as the ringleader he had originally taken out of the fight at the very start, emerge from his very own shadow to deliver a powerful punch to his abdomen.

Flynn quickly used both of his hands to reduce the impact of the punch but the force of it still sent him flying upwards into the air, his back now positioned to be punctured through by a sharp broken iron from the chandelier.

“Die you fucking brat!!” the ringleader said with an evil grin.

He already knew that they couldn’t escape anymore the moment their plan had failed.

That man would definitely kill them for their failure and even if he tried to escape, his [Shadow Shift] could only carry them as far as outside the halls where the guards were supposed to have been waiting for them.

The nobles would be also on high alert now and considering just how powerful some of them were, they would definitely spot them.

As a result, he had originally planned to injure Flynn and use him as a bargaining chip to escape from the hall and also cause irreparable damage to the image of the noble families.

But he had never expected the brat to be so skillful to the extent that he could take out three of them.

Due to this, he threw his original plan out the window and just decided to kill the brat.

Just doing that alone was enough for the Royal Family and all the other big family’s competency to be called to question and sow seeds of discord within the hearts of the citizens of Arcadia.

He knew that this would definitely also result in The Tower either capturing them or him and his members being killed, but it was better than returning back to Obelisk where an even more painful and excruciating death would be awaiting them.

Flynn who was now in the air suddenly raised his head up with a smirk on his lips, twisted his body unnaturally at mid-air, narrowly evading the jagged end of the broken chandelier and positioning himself to grab onto the chains of the chandelier itself.

After grabbing onto the chains, he swung himself even higher with it while using the momentum with which he had been flung into the air with.

As he did, he approached the ornate cream-colored ceiling of the hall and placed his legs on it and built a good amount of force and tension in it while repositioning himself to face downwards, after which he then dashed back at a terrifying speed by kicking off of it. All of this happened within seconds.

-Twoosh!!!

He had noticed that the ringleader was never really knocked out with mana sense, even after he smacked him into that sturdy half-broken pillar and that both he and the last masked man, were biding their time and looking for the perfect time to strike, otherwise, the fourth masked man would have attacked alongside the other three he had defeated.

That was why he had also decided not to use any more spells and also save all of his mana for a moment like this where they had completely thought they had trapped him.

Now, as he dashed back with a terrifying speed which even the last two masked men couldn’t even keep up with, Flynn willed all of his mana reserves and used another spell.

“[Telekinetic Series: Force Pull]!!!”

The last two masked members immediately tried to use other spells but it was too late.

They both watched in horror as their bodies suddenly levitated off the ground and were pulled towards Flynn by an invisible force.

Flynn then pushed onto both of their heads as he hurtled back to the ground and jammed it into the marbled floors with a terrifying force that completely shattered the spots he jammed their heads into.

Both masked men were now knocked out, making a total of five Obelisk members that a young C-rank teenager had defeated all on his own.

“Checkmate!” Flynn said as he stood up weakly from the ground.
