2024-10-29 19:42:56Theo came back with thousands of men behind him. Almost none of these soldiers were used in the first attack. Because they were either low-level or old. Now was the time to show themselves. They knew there weren't many troops left in the city. All they had to do was take the surrendering soldiers hostage and kill those who didn't. Theo entrusted this task to Pierce and the other nobles. He warned them several times not to pillage the city. After all, a ruined, disorderly kingdom was not what they wanted.
Their aim was to escape with minor wounds. That way, they would have enough men later on for their plans. Moreover, even these powerless capital soldiers had families in this city. Killing them would only fuel the ensuing hatred. What they needed was not loyal dogs, but siblings they could trust.
After sending the soldiers to capture the city, Thedo and Theo gathered the soldiers who had just witnessed the massacre here. When Thedo mounted his horse, the soldiers broug

It All Started With Lightning Puberty?
William had cleared the remaining four towers very quickly. In fact, there wasn't even a wizard in the last tower at the south gate. William thought that the bright light that appeared on the battlefield was most likely caused by the wizard who was supposed to be here. When he cleared the last tower, his father's men had also begun to clear the city.In the last tower, he encountered twenty of those soldiers. He had learned from them that they had won the battle at the eastern gate, and then had gone towards the palace with his grandfather Thedo's army. He quickly reached the palace by jumping from the rooftops, taking on the role of a scout himself to warn them early of any danger.When he came to the palace, he was met with the same annoying sight as Thedo. Still, he kept his guard up and walked around the palace. He was relieved when he found the main hall and saw the king he thought was dead. By that time, his father, Arthur, and his grandfather had entered the mai
It All Started With Lightning The Story of the Aureus Family
William walked slowly and calmly through the orderly streets of the capital. Even though it was evening, the celebration was still going on. People did not sleep at all last night, and then, in the first light of the morning, they took to the streets to celebrate. The corpses of the capital's soldiers in the streets had already been cleared. Occasional bloodstains still appeared in some places, but over time they would also be erased.He came to the gates of the palace without attracting anyone's attention. Guards were guarding every part of the palace, including the small walls and gates. He could enter without anyone noticing, but since he was going to enter the palace, he would have to appear somewhere. That's why he chose to go straight through the front door.One of the two guards at the entrance of the palace recognized him and signaled that he could enter directly. He showed it with his hands.William nodded, smiling, and walked inside. Now he could see t
It All Started With Lightning Complete The Task
William and the soldier walked deep into the palace together. After a while, they came to a large door, which was guarded by four soldiers. They all looked extremely strong. Behind the door opened by two mighty soldiers, there were stairs leading down. The soldier said he could continue from here. William descended at his normal speed down the still dark stairs, illuminated by torches. Darkness was not a problem for him, he could see better thanks to his bloodline power. After a while, the stairs came to an end. He came into a small room. There was a table, a few bookshelves, and some furniture. Like iron chains.At the end of this small room was another door, and it was all metal. Two soldiers were waiting at the entrance of the gate. When he arrived, they opened the door, as if forewarned. William went through the door and continued on his way. He realized that he was now in a prison. On either side of it were dirty, smelly cells. All cells were empty. Because there was no
It All Started With Lightning Old Friends
The sun was already rising high when he awoke. Woke up in perfect condition today. He hadn't felt this rested in a long time. At this moment, he felt like a pure and refined person, free from all emotions.When he woke up looking at the sun, he calculated the time and after about an hour it was time to meet his old friends. Since he wasn't taking a bath, he pulled a clean set of clothes from his dimensional bag and put it on. He just washed his head in the inn's bathroom. That was enough for him to feel clean and fresh.There was something in this world that smelled like soap, but because of it, her hair was getting very dry. It was taking away all the natural oil from his hair. So he was taking a break from using it for a few weeks. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he noticed that his handsome face was becoming more and more masculine. His mustache and beard had already grown to a visible extent. He took out the fire-bringer and tried to shave himself. After h

William woke up with a huge headache. It was the first time he had been this drunk since he had been born into this world. He still underestimated the power of the wines of this world. They had excellent flavor and were definitely higher in alcohol. There were times when he even suspected that they were magical. Because with the strength of his body, a few bottles of wine shouldn't have had much of an effect.After rubbing his head for a few seconds, he was able to look around. He wasn't at the inn. He was lying in a bed for at least five people. His head was covered with pillows, and the bed was surrounded by silk tulle. It looked like a noble maiden's room. Looking around, William finally realized that he was in the palace. It was probably the room of one of the previous princesses, and William was buried in prosperity like those princesses.But when he turned his head and looked to his right, the sight he saw was not pleasant at all. At the right end of the bed and
It All Started With Lightning Mage Jaymond
There was a city built at the foot of a gigantic mountain, surrounded by ramparts as high as the sky, and seemingly illuminated by divine grace from every angle. Thousands of people were selling things, having set up various small booths in the square of this city. The square was so crowded that you might have trouble hearing your own voice. Not only people trying to sell their belongings, but also warriors carrying weapons in various animal skins were trying to bargain for some items in the square.The owner of each booth was careful to resist as much as he could, to sell his item for a higher price when a warrior asked him for something and tried to negotiate. There was a gigantic statue in this square where thousands of people lived. The statue was kneeling, stabbing a dragon-like creature with his sword. The sword had entered the middle of the dragon's neck. It was so detailed that even a few drops of tears leaking from the dying dragon's eyes were shown.It was no

When Leslie opened his eyes, he found himself in a small, empty room. Bandages were wrapped around his waist and healing ointments were applied. After his battle with William, all he remembered was that when he turns his back, a sword entered him around his waist and pinned him to the wall.He was ashamed. Even if it meant dying, he had to go all the way for taking it this long. 'I should never have turned my back.' How would his friends look at him now? What would they say to him? Would they tease, or would they cut off their friendship? As such thoughts took over his mind, the look in his eyes grew dull. Everything was deleted in an instant. It was as if someone had come and cleansed his soul from head to toe. Now he only had one thought. That was 'Getting stronger.'Despite his aching back, he got out of bed without frowning. His dimensional bag was with him. He quickly put on an outfit and went outside. A young girl was sitting behind a desk in front of the door. S
It All Started With Lightning Back to the Academy
It was noon when William reached the academy. He gave a good yawn after handing over his Ruby Horse to the stableman. Being on a horse for a long time tired him out. He felt that even his bones were intertwined. He saw that the academy was utterly empty. He could only see occasional students in the main buildings. As a result of the war, many of the students wanted to return and control the family business for a while, which was understandable. William thought it would take about a week. Afterward, students would necessarily return to the academy. Otherwise, it would be against the new rules of the academy.William had a few things to do for now. Although he was tired, he had to visit him, so he chose to go to Baldur first. He was wondering about his friend whom he had not seen for a long time. He wanted to know if he was successful in his advancement.When he got to Baldur's Villa, he knocked on the door and waited patiently. Shortly after, footsteps were heard from i

Meeting Enid
William didn't notice, but even his posture began to change. Now his chest was further forward and, most importantly, his nose was a little higher in the air. With his height, he began to look down on people.Worst of all, William didn't even realize it. Arrogance was slowly seeping into his blood, taking over his body without him wanting it. Since William was not aware of it for the time being, he entered the main hall of the mansion, thinking that he would show his usual behavior.He was wrong, as he thought he would only meet the City Lord. There were more than ten people in the room, and they were all sitting quietly in their seats, discussing something passionately. As soon as William and Doravoli entered the hall, the woman sitting at the front raised her hand and everyone suddenly fell silent.Then the woman stood and smiled.William recognized the woman. She was one of the three people who had helped him survive the attack of the mysterious bandit mage and complete his mission

Doravoli's Charisma 3
William was watching the bedroom of a house five hundred meters away from the roof of a two-story house. His eyes and face could not be seen in the darkness of the night. But a person standing next to him might have the impression that William was deep in thought.Strangely enough, William wasn't thinking about anything at that moment. It was as if there was a black hole in the bedroom of the house he was watching, and it was sweeping everything away, including William's gaze and thoughts.William felt lifeless right now, like a rock with no IQ.'How did this happen?' William had been on this roof for two hours and had asked himself the same question hundreds of times.Doravoli and Elasha for a few minutes, thinking they would leave after a farewell kiss, but he had listened to the lustful voices of the duo for two hours.'How did this happen?' At first, everything was normal. There was no conversation that contained any suggestive hints. These were normal everyday conversations and s

Doravoli's Charisma 2
Elasha thought this was the most boring day of her life. Following his sister's agreement, she was forced to come to Valimar and open new trade routes to several surrounding cities and towns. Opening these trade routes was never easy, as Valimar and the surrounding cities were surrounded by incredibly dense forests. Cutting down these trees and establishing observation points and crossing points were time-consuming tasks. And the hardest part was finding apprentice mages to work at these points.Nevertheless, she succeeded as usual because she was surrounded by hardworking people. Everyone loved her and her sister, except for a few people who didn't care much about money. If they did their job right, money would automatically fill their pockets.Meeting Enid had been a bit eventful. At first, she wanted to refuse Elura's deal, but Enid and Elura's plans gave her enough reason to be convinced.Elura had started making plans as soon as Elasha had left the White City to start the purific

"Then we agreed. I'll get you the best flame I can find. But first I have to find it, you know they are very rare." William smiled and packed up the camp. They had spent enough time here.Just as they were about to start their journey deep into the forest after packing up the camp, William felt a vibration from his dimensional bag. He immediately took the vibrating device out of his dimensional bag.It was the seal of the Expedition Organization, and it contained a message from Fabian.[Go to Valimar. Find Enid, the City Lord. She will explain everything to you].William's face darkened. Valimar had not left him with good memories. Elura named woman had been a real nuisance to him, and while he had forgotten that story, taking on a mission like this spoiled his mood.Frankly, he wanted to relax in the White City for a few months. His journey had improved him enough, and he was ready to make another breakthrough at any moment. Of course, the most important problem on his mind was Dorav

Happy Days
"Have you finally woken up?" Doravoli looked at the weak William lying in the shadow of the rock. He had a sad, tearful expression on his face. He was sitting across from William, gnawing at the flesh of a small creature. It was a small lizard.He had a bandage on his cut foot.William felt more tired than ever, but when he discovered that he could move his hands with a snap of his fingers and a little bit of mana, he pulled hundreds of useful items from his ring. Most of these items were healing potions and blood crystals.He spoke with difficulty, as even the movement of his jaw was painful. "Blood crystals, put some in my mouth."Doravoli was also very tired. He even hunted down the small lizard he had gnawed, using his magic only because the lizard was too close. He waved his hand and, controlling his mana, took some of the blood crystals and brought them to William's mouth. Then he used some himself.Half an hour later, William regained some consciousness. He could move a little

The First Blow, The First Regret, The First Pain and Where It All Begins 1
"Absolute Cut!" William shouted at the top of his voice, attacking the real body between the two copies with the strongest ability he had.The wind blade that came out of the tip of William's sword flew unblocked toward its original target, too fast for the two clones to react. The moment William's sword emerged, it struck the man's body. William knelt in weakness, but he still had one eye on the man. He wanted to see him die with his own eyes.When the ability hit the man, his body split into two, just as William expected, and the two clones vanished instantly. The sword in the hand of one of the copies fell to the ground as if it were a real object and not a spell."Hğğğğğ..." (Blood-filled guttural sound.) A growl came from the body of the man who had been cut in half.William barely raised his head and looked at the man's body in surprise.Two separate body parts were resisting falling to the ground. He was still standing. The six-centimeter gap between them was covered by an invi

"No matter what happens, I will be with you and we will fight together." Doravoli heard everything that was said and realized that this man was after William. Even though names like 'Storm God', 'Nicolas', and 'Nak'kato' were unfamiliar to him, Doravoli would help in any way he could because he was his friend. -He knew who Nicolas was, but he didn't understand why the man in front of him cared about Nicolas.-William bowed his head. At the slightest movement of the man, he was ready to pull dozens of potions from his ring and cast his spells. He knew that this was a classic cliché and wasn't surprised that he found himself in it, but he only remained on the dark side as to why.While William was in deep thought, the man's voice filled his ears."I...You..." Suddenly the man froze. He made incomprehensible noises and his body bent slightly. William knew this was the perfect moment to attack, but he held back, for soon the man straightened his body and showed his old smile again.He rai

"Hey Doravoli, you can't carve that wood like that!" William grabbed the flat chisel and the piece of blue ironwood out of Doravoli's hand."You never listen to what I say! Look at it again and pay attention." William began to get angry. Today was two weeks after he started teaching Doravoli blacksmithing. The two of them had almost reached the middle of the rocks. They were a little slow, but it was an acceptable pace.William held the piece of blue ironwood in his left hand and tucked it between his knees. Then he supported it firmly with his left hand and began to "float" the flat chisel on the surface of the blue ironwood with his right hand."Look, if you hold the flat chisel like this, none of the lines you make will be crooked. You have a strong body like mine, so this shouldn't be a problem for you. But you stubbornly insist on holding the flat chisel sideways, and that causes you to make little notches in the wood. Doravoli, if you want to do something of quality and worthy o

Return Journey
The two guarded the area for a day and had fun until the next day. The townspeople never set foot in the area because Lennard had warned them. Occasionally, a few brave official mage-level adventurers would stop by, but thanks to William's ability to throw cups, the wounds they received from hundreds of meters away, and a few minor scoldings, escaping became their priority.The next day, Fabian appeared again like a meteor over Greyscar. The way he flew was so dominant, like an unstoppable rocket. It seemed as if he could crush anything that came his way. William realized that day that Fabian's speed was even slightly faster than the strengthened Lennard.Fabian came alone. There was no one behind him, and as soon as he arrived, he looked at William briefly and then quickly examined the surroundings. He didn't speak at all, and although that made William a little uncomfortable, he didn't care. He acted the same way in the first ruin he discovered. The second time he saw Fabian, he rea
