Rin was forced to get the Grimoire but he had no idea why the man himself didn't do it.
Although he was told that the book would choose the one who was worthy enough to it, he felt as if this was some random joke.
'Tsk, I guess I have to trust him for the time being...', Rin was still suspecting him after all he was just a stranger.
"..."
But he let go of all those thoughts and concentrated on what stood in front of him.
'The cage... or perhaps barrier...'
'How do I break it?', that was the biggest question.
He did hit earlier with all of his strength due to which a crack did appear, but he had no idea if he had to do the same again.
He took a look at the spot where the small crack was present.
'Hmm, I guess I should try hitting this spot with some sturdy material...', he decided and then looked around.
The man was confused as to what he was doing. He wanted to see how Rin would break the barrier since he believed that he could break it.
But never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined Rin bringing a steel chair in order to break the barrier.
'Is he for real? He is trying to break the greatest barrier of all kind with just a chair?', he had a surprised expression on his face.
'Bam'
It was futile, Rin swung the chair with all his might but despite that, nothing happened to the barrier.
"Boy, are you really trying to break that with those things?", the man ended up asking.
Rin paused right after hearing that. He was already frustrated by the fact that he had to do something bothersome, and now the man had started to ask tons of things.
"Then what should I do?", Rin asked.
He wanted to know for sure the method of breaking the barrier and he thought that the man must certainly know about it.
The man watched Rin dedicated look of knowing the answer however he never knew in the first place.
"I have no idea!", that was all he could say.
'Damn...'
'He doesn't know anything!', Rin thought in his mind.
"Well, but I guess you should try using your own strength to break it...", the man shook his black cloak while saying this.
'Is that all...'
'You want me to break the so-called barrier with my own strength?', Rin thought in his mind.
But he could clearly recall that earlier it was his own fist that had helped him in causing a crack so just maybe he could do it with his fist yet again.
Rin was indeed not a pushover in terms of strength. In fact, he was probably one of the strongest boys in his age group.
However, despite that, he took all the bullying from the bullies and why was that?
The reason was quite simple, he never realized that he was that strong.
In fact, his parents always told him and taught him not to raise his hands on others. It seemed as if those were the only lessons he remembered and perhaps that was why he was subconsciously thinking that he was the weakest.
No wonder his body used to heal quite quickly which was monstrous when compared to others.
"Just trust yourself...", the man said this in order to encourage him.
However, Rin didn't care. All he wanted was the knowledge or news about his parents and brother which the man was speaking about.
He didn't have anything to lose in the first place so he went along with what the man said.
He clenched his fist and withdrew his arm a bit back. Then he concentrated on the same crack by focusing his gazes at that exact particular spot.
"Hya!"
He punched the same place with all his might while giving out a shout.
'Bam'
His punch hit the target accurately. His power was also concentrated in a particular area causing his punch to be much more effective.
'Creak'
'Crack'
The small crack that had been formed got bigger just after the punch.
"Yes!", it was a sign of victory for the boy because now he knew that for some reason the barrier was being damaged with just his punches.
Although he also got hurt and felt the pain when his fist collided with the barrier, the joy of succeeding made the pain fade away.
"Alright!"
"One more time!"
He pulled his arm back again and punched the same place with all his might which led to the widening of the crack.
He continued to punch again and again and each time he punched, the crack would just get larger and larger.
Just by seeing that Rin was sure that his hard work was paying off and soon enough the crack would become large enough to cause the barrier to collapse and probably Rin was waiting for that very moment.
'Unbelievable...'
'I thought that it was some damn luck...'
'But look at this occurrence...'
The man was completely shocked. He didn't even know what to think anymore.
Just because a person is chosen by the book doesn't mean that he would be able to break the barrier and pass it to get the book.
It would take one's whole lifetime to break the barrier cast by the strongest mage and of course, it wouldn't be possible to break it without using magic or some legendary artifact.
However, right now, the person was seeing Rin causing heavy damage to the barrier with just his body.
'This is really a joke isn't it?', the man thought.
'How can a normal human do that!?'
'No, wait... I guess he might really be the descendant and inherited of that book...'
'But even if he is the descendant... it's impossible to break the barrier just with his physical body!'
'Bam'
'Creak'
'Crack'
'Shatter'
The entire barrier shattered into pieces and made the sound that was synonymous with a glass shattering.
"Just who the heck are you...?"
"..."
The man was indeed astonished and failed to think anything more.His mind was blank just when he heard the shattering sound of the barrier.He wanted to deny the fact that such a barrier was broken by a brat such as Rin, but no matter what he would do, he couldn't change the truth."Yes! Finally!", he was quite happy about the fact that the barrier broke.But more than that, he was happy because he wouldn't be required to bang his hand again and again on it.It had already started to bleed but despite that, he continued to punch it.Probably each time he punched he thought - 'In the next punch it will definitely break!'That was good thinking which would lessen the pain and thanks to that he could keep punching till the end.Now Rin wiped the little amount of blood in his own shirt and then walked slowly towards the book that waited for him ahead.*gulp*'Our entire fate is in your hands...''If you can rea
Although Rin tried to tell himself that this was nothing more than a dream, he failed to wake up or come out of it.It was as if he was trapped. Indeed, he tried pinching himself and even slapped himself once or twice, but no, in the end, he was still surrounded by the dark mist and the darkness itself.All he could hear was someone's voice which he wasn't familiar with."Now accept it already, you have come here with greed to get your hands on the Legendary Grimoire of my master!", the voice said."..."This was bugging Rin even more. No matter how many times he denied it, the voice would just try to prove otherwise. It was saying the same thing again and again which was quite frustrating indeed."Sigh, just how many times should I repeat myself?""I didn't come here willingly!""I was just trying to get the book which the person asked for in return of which he would tell me about my parents and my missing brother!", Rin made
"Huh?", Rin was preoccupied with the light so much that he had forgotten about the riddle but it seemed like the voice decided to move on. 'Sigh looks like I couldn't answer the first question...', Rin was a bit sad. 'Hmm, but indeed, that was something to think about...', however, he was a bit happy that such a question was asked to him. "If you are told that tomorrow is the end of the world and if you are given with a choice to save only one among your mother, your best friend, and a stranger, whom will you save first?", that was the second question which the voice asked. The question was quite tough for Rin. He didn't know what exactly he had to answer with. Of course, while saving someone, one would give priority to the ones which are the most closely related so obviously, the answer for that should be a mother. But then again, he could save his best friend too because that person would also be close to him. No one would gi
Vars then swiftly went inside as Ruff prepared a room for Rin. Till then, Vars had been holding him in his arms.Ruff was happy to see Vars doing so much but he too wanted some opportunity to do the same.A grand room was prepared only for Rin and after leaving him on the bed, Vars came downstairs to discuss with Ruff and the maids.They all gathered around the couch where Vars sat in his office. The office was large enough to accommodate all the maids and other workers.“The one I brought today, he is none other than our master.”“This mansion, in fact, we all belong to him so whatever he says, you must do it.”“Treat him properly and with patience and no matter what, never be rude to him.”, when he mentioned all this, he was giving off a little killing intent.“We will depart to Werewoll in 3 days but until then, I hope no one makes any mistake that might anger him.”This meant
Rin could feel the pain fading slowly and steadily. While it was true that he had been bullied a lot, it was not an injury that he would suffer in a single day. He had been getting hit in the same spot for an entire year which made his bones quite vulnerable.But at the same time, the bones were slowly becoming strong. After the healing, the vulnerability would disappear and only the strength of the bones would remain to make them quite strong for any normal human of his age.‘I have to pretend to be asleep for a little longer.’, Rin kept on pretending to be asleep.Yes, as the healing continued, he did peek once or twice to see the book, but the light was too blinding due to which, he failed to even take a glance of the grimoire.He kept his eyes shut nevertheless and waited for the maids to leave the room. It was quite a nostalgic feeling – pretending to be asleep, that is.Soon May had finished healing Rin completely. Lala fini
“Young Master, you are the son of our late King Rion Weros.” “Huh?”, Rin was surprised by what Vars said. He had no idea who the person was. “But my father’s name is-” And even before Rin could state out his father’s name, Vars said, “Rios, right?” “…” “Yes.” ‘That is indeed my father’s name.’ His memories had been whipped out. Only some records in the form of photos were left in his house. So only with that, he remembers his parent's faces. Only because of those photos could he remember about his brother. But their names, he could barely remember it. He could only recall his father’s name. He didn’t even know his mother’s name nor his brother’s. Because of this, when sometimes the teacher would ask him to fill out an application, he would only fill in his father’s name. He couldn’t even fill in his father’s full name and would only just write one word. Due to this, he was often hit by h
The vampires hunted him in secret when he was traveling with his wife. The elves used their powers to kill them too. While Rios was so strong that he was able to fend off their attacks, Nia was taken as a hostage. She was captured because she tried to help Rios. Her Grimoire was snatched away from her and blades and guns were pointed at her. She was pregnant too, so of course, she was in her most vulnerable state. “You bastards…” “Let go of her.”, Rios said while glaring at the vampires who had captured her. “What would you do, if we don’t?”, a vampire asked. Rios grit his teeth and in a rage, transformed into his original state. Actually, whenever a non-human transforms into a human, his/her power is decreased significantly. Only when they return to their original form will they be able to use all of their powers. Yes, that was the case for Werewolves too. A pact between Inhumans and Humans was made whi
“And then he ended up choosing your mother and you.”“He was then forced to swear on his Grimoire after which he was sent to the home.”“And then soon a week passed when you were born.”“That was probably the happiest moment of your dad.”“Your mother passed away right after you were born and probably because of that you don’t remember anything about your mother.”“Mother passed away when I was born?”, Rin asked.Vars nodded his head.Rios’ mother passed away because she was assassinated but Rin’s mother died because she lost all her strength during childbirth.Rin shed a few tears when he heard this. His heart broke down. But weirdly enough, he could recall her smile.‘Wait, if mom died right after she gave birth to me, then whose smile is this?’, he asked himself.The face was invisible and everything else seeme
