I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 255: We're in Hell Right Now! (2)

Raydell’s words made the gathered miners hesitate. The man who had pleaded with Rupert seemed to grasp onto Raydell’s words as a lifeline. He exclaimed excitedly, “Thank you, Raydell. I’ll go with you!”

With someone taking the lead, more and more miners picked up their mining tools, making their decision…

“Revolt! We’re all revolting!” Rupert’s anger flared, and he shouted, “I’d like to see who dares to move!”

Rupert’s accumulated power over the years was terrifying. Combined with thirty armed guards around him, he instantly subdued hundreds of miners.

Then, Rupert turned to Raydell. His repeated challenges to Rupert’s authority, now encouraging miners to disobey his orders, had crossed a line!

Without warning, Rupert lashed out at Raydell with a long whip, creating a bloody gash across his chest, intense pain surging through him.

This time, Raydell didn’t flinch or fall. He stood firm, staring directly at Rupert.

Rupert felt a chill down his spine from Raydell’s unwavering gaze. His own stare turned more vicious. A miner daring to look at him like that was beyond reckless.

With this in mind, Rupert lashed out again, this time aiming for Raydell’s head!

Onlookers’ eyes flashed with visible rage. Standing up against Rupert, who had the support of most miners to save those in trouble, Raydell had gained widespread recognition. Intense anger ignited within everyone.

Raydell sensed the shift. This time, instead of confronting head-on, he expertly caught the whip coming at him with his right hand, swiftly stepped forward, and thrust the pointed end of his mining tool into Rupert’s eye!

Crimson blood sprayed, a harrowing scream echoed. Rupert hadn’t expected the slender Raydell to strike suddenly, let alone with such merciless force.

In truth, the Raydell from half a month ago wouldn’t have had this courage or skill. The trials in the dream world had transformed him, denying Rupert any chance to retaliate. With a forceful push of his mining tool, it pierced Rupert’s brain.

Rupert’s body soon collapsed, a massive bloody hole in his right eye socket, his face a mix of disbelief and horror…

All of this happened in mere seconds, shocking everyone. Ham and the others stood frozen in place, even the guards, until Rupert was impaled. Then, they reacted, drawing their blades, charging at Raydell!

“We’ve had enough! Kill them all!” Raydell’s furious roar echoed. The miners, fueled by rage, instinctively moved. The man who had pleaded with Rupert earlier leaped up, wielding his mining tool, smashing it onto a guard’s head. The parsimonious baron didn’t bother equipping these mine overseers with high-grade gear like helmets, so the blow instantly crushed the guard’s head!

More miners surged forward. A scant few guards were utterly defenseless, hammered from all sides by mining tools in just a few minutes.

Even so, the enraged miners, who had long held onto their fury, didn’t spare the guards’ bodies, venting their anger for over half an hour. It was only then that everyone realized the extent of their actions.

“We… we killed Rupert?!” “The Baron will execute us all!” Ham, dazed and shocked, screamed.

Seeing the bloodied bodies of Rupert and others on the minefield turned into a muddy mess, many miners knelt, trembling, clearly bewildered.

“Ham! Do you think we’d survive staying in this minefield?” Raydell’s voice was stern. “Rupert doesn’t care about our lives. It was Carol trapped in this mine disaster this time, next could be you or me! Rupert wants all our lives!”

Raydell looked at everyone, shouting loudly.

“I’ve had enough… had enough of being in the dark, seeing no sunlight in these mines, begging Rupert for a few scraps of black bread, fearing when the rocks above would bury us forever…”

“I believe you haven’t forgotten Timmy, Feins, Tielne…”

Raydell listed the names of miner after miner who had died in the mines, some buried in accidents, others whipped to death by Rupert.

He went on for several minutes, naming sixty or seventy individuals, only a fraction of those who had died in the past three months. Rupert’s disregard for their lives, pushing for more ore extraction, had caused frequent disasters.

“We can’t resist Baron. It’s all part of God’s plan, or else our souls will fall into hell…” Ham’s voice trembled.

“It’s all lies!” Raydell shouted angrily. “Wake up, Ham! There’s nothing worse than now!”

“Aren’t we in hell right now?”

Raydell’s sharp words silenced Ham, and he led the miners to open the storage on the minefield, allowing everyone to have a hearty meal. Then, he divided the nearly thousand miners into two groups.

One stayed behind at the minefield to rescue those trapped, including Carol.

The other group joined Raydell in a nighttime attack on the guard camp stationed at the foot of the mine. They dressed in the guards’ clothing and infiltrated the Baron’s estate!

Raydell acted swiftly, planning meticulously. Occupying the entire estate was effortless; they dragged a sleeping Baron Elvis out.

The luxurious estate infuriated every miner who entered. Raydell conducted an impromptu trial, enumerating the Baron’s crimes, then personally delivered the terrified Baron Elvis multiple fatal blows.

Next was the church. With dozens of crossbows scavenged from the estate, they executed the church’s priests with only a dozen casualties.

Despite the smooth progress, Raydell knew it was only the beginning. He had to swiftly rescue more miners to strengthen his forces…
