The Insurrection of the Inept Hero - Chapter 110

Along with that, I also told him about the new weapon I received, Leviathan. Kainen had an interest in the spear and he asked if he could borrow it to perform research, however, I told him that it would be impossible since it wouldn’t be of any use in any other person’s grasp, but I did promise him I would demonstrate its capabilities when I get the time.

He then gave us my pay and well… let’s just say that that one job was worth the reward of 15 quests. In no time, I could get that mansion I’ve wanted to get.

Anyway, after that everything went back to normal. Then my shadows reported back to me.

From what they’ve gotten from staying in the siblings’ shadows, there will be another ambush soon, and currently, the two assassins that were sent after me were residing in the Auroral Glaciers, the place I was taken to by Joseph to achieve Cursed White and awaken my innate Principle.

I decided that I would attack them at night since they most likely wouldn’t expect it.

I was currently helping Celestia with her guild work and the girls were helping as well. I was wearing a new coat that Ravyn had bought for me. It was a black long coat with four on the collar and the sleeves. I must say, it was rather comfortable to wear.

I also forgot to mention. After my encounter with the Leviathan, I had obtained a new skill.

[Active Skill Obtained: Grim Hydra Fist]

Grim Hydra Fist… sounds like something I need to use with Osiris equipped. What does it do?

[Grim Hydra Fist: Deliver a devastating blow to your enemy and with a roar, incinerate them with an outburst of raw, explosive energy taking the form of a multi-headed dragon| Effect: Strike your opponent with raw might and finish them off by triggering a massive explosion, dealing damage that far surpasses your own power| Conditions: 2,167,167 mana to perform| Cooldown: 504 hours after use]

[Notice: This attack will grow stronger the more you level up and the mana required will rise by 1 million every 10,000 levels]

Wow… I see… wait, over 2 million mana to perform such an attack!? I just had my stats abbreviated and even divided just so it can look a little cleaner but… really? If I didn’t have my mana shortened to a smaller number, it would’ve probably required 2,167,167,167 mana to perform it.

Well, if it requires so much, it must be a powerful attack. It even says in the details that it surpasses my own power and it also looks like the amount of mana I use will increase… Well, that’s not good, but considering what it does, I guess it’s fair. Though, my mana increases a little slower now. Instead of 10 million every 100 levels, it’s 10 thousand now.

Anyway, I’m a little excited to see what it does, but it will only work if I attack someone. That… is what I assume it needs in order to be activated. I could probably strike the ground and see the outcome, but I think that I might have to pay for… a lot of damages.

Also… that cooldown… After I use it, I have to wait three weeks to use it again. Yes, I did the math, I’m not that dumb.

Anyway, for now, I just need to wait it out.

***

When the girls went to sleep, I headed over to the Auroral Glaciers using Black Magic.

As I explored the area, I traveled up the mountain where Joseph had pushed me off. Not that it was a good thing but at least it gifted me something.

When I got up there, I noticed what looked like bloodstains on the ground and even multiple skeletons and skeletal parts buried in the snow.

Joseph… you really did a number on these guys, huh? You should ease it up a bit, even I am not that brutal.

Using the peak of the mountain as a vantage point, I began searching for the two assassins with the help of my Mystic Eyes of Interspace.

“There you are…”

I spotted them sitting in the middle of the snowfield, having a chat. As they did that, I noticed the bushes behind them moving. Guess they brought some spies as well. Well, technically they aren’t spies but I’m just going to call them that. From what I see, there are three spies.

Using Analysis, their levels were above 60,000 while the spies were near 50,000.

Hmm… I think I’ll give them a warm welcome.

I summoned Leviathan in my hand and as I spun it in my hand, the tip of the spear began to glow.

Which move should I try out first? I’ll save Oceanic Extinction Bomb for last.

Let’s go with… Oceanic Serpent Wave.

When the tip of my spear glowed at its brightest, I slammed the tip into the ground, and bursting out from the side of the mountain was a wave of water that hurdled towards the ice elves.

The ice elves quickly turned around before lifting off into the sky.

I quickly appeared behind them before slamming their sides with Leviathan. The force of my swing managed to break a few bones of theirs as they plummeted towards the wet ground.

Normally, water would freeze at the current temperature we were at but I found out that water from the ancient sea does not freeze. I don’t even know where the water from that sea came from but I’m not going to think about it too much.

“Tch… what the hell?” The first ice elf groaned as he clutched the side of his abdomen.

“Wh-who ambushed us?” The second one said before he lifted his head to meet my eyes.

“You… the Inept Hero!” He shouted. “How did you find us?”

“Oh nothing, I was just wandering around and spotted you two. Or should I say you five?”

I turned to the bushes and fired Piercing Red at it. The spies dodged and appeared next to the other two elves.

Now, I shouldn’t let my guard down. From what I know from Analysis, those three spies were Assassins. The first ice elf was a Tank, a class I haven’t seen in a while. His body was fit for a Tank but a buffed elf isn’t really suiting for elves… but whatever. Anyway, I’m not worried about him, it’s the second elf that worries me. He was a Warlock.

I’m not scared though, since I know my Warlock abilities are way stronger than his. If I were to be honest, I probably wouldn’t even need to use my Warlock abilities on them.

So…

I began spinning Leviathan again and smirked at the ice elves in front of me.

“I’m pretty sure you guys are here to kill me, and I am here to do the same, so let’s skip the talking and get to fighting. Shall we?”

I beckoned with my spear and without hesitation, the ice elves shot towards me. I quickly slammed the ground once again, activating Oceanic Serpent Flood.

Water quickly shot out from the ground and began flooding the surface, sweeping away the ice elves. The Warlock attempted to freeze the water and the others followed, however, it was a futile effort as water from the ancient seas could not be frozen.

The violent waves of pressurized water continued to play with the ice elves and after 15 seconds, the water simply sank back into the floor, leaving the ice elves soaked.

Hmm… this was easier than I expected. Here I thought they would’ve been a challenge considering their levels. Well, everything can’t be decided on levels. It’s all about skills in this world. Whether you are slow or not, you can still overcome another opponent as long as you know how to beat them. Even a slowpoke can beat a speedster. It’s like the tortoise and the hare.

The five groaned as they stood up and redirected their attention at me.

“This is boring. I expected you guys to put up a fight but seeing you at this state makes me just want to surrender to you because of pity. Well, not that I’m going to do that since you guys aren’t worth my time. I think I’ll just finish you off now. Don’t worry, it won’t be painful.” I smirked as I spun Leviathan once again.

“Oh, but it won’t be so painless for you,” said a deep voice that came from behind.

I spun my body but at that exact time, I received a sharp, heavy blow to my stomach.

Crack!

“Nngh!”

I slid across the ground before stopping myself using my spear.

“Hmm, looks like they were right. You are as cocky as the rumors have stated.”

“And…” I looked up at the ice elf whose fist was emitting a light blue glow. “Who are you?”

“Oh, how rude of me.” He said before bowing politely as he introduced himself.

“My name is Hall. These are my subordinates you just attacked. I… am the true assassin sent to kill you. It is an honor to meet the man who killed Myran… now, I shall kill you to avenge him.”
