Long before Cian had started to join Magi in his job, he was already a talented mage who could wield his fire.

He would set firewood on fire on command, and make certain parts of his body appear to be on fire.

It was his affinity with fire magic that allowed him to do so but longer usage had made Cian feel his body's temperature rise gradually.

As Magi found out about this drawback, he would begin to restrict using his raw magic.

It would be then also the start where Magi's intellect was challenged, creating devices from scraps that he would find in his enemies' belongings.

Shanti, his employer was also an inventor and a mentor. He would teach Cian how to create his weapon and if possible, to create something that would fit Cian as well.

Cian's raw flame magic exceeded the temperature limit of the devices that Magi would create.

They weren't weak, but Cian's flames were simply too hot and rampant to be kept still.

Soon enough, Magi would find a scrapped Grant that survived his f

    [Copy Complete! I've been able to find the schematics of the compound. I can lead you to Cian now!]Back at the first compound, Violet was finished breaking through the security key and copying the files. There were building schematics that showed only two compounds that rotates but there was a tunnel that led to the other.“Alright.”Raising his sword, Magi had begun to channel his magic into the blade as the air around it becomes denser, creating a mist that would swirl around it. Like a maestro of an orchestra, he would wave down as the mist scatters around, freezing the monsters that had surrounded him. The unopened pods around would also be affected by the massive spell, freezing them inside a cryogenic-compatible pod. There was no chance that they would even transform now that they were all frozen.“May they find peace.”Finishing up, Magi would only walk past the frozen creatures. They were like ice statues that would begin to crumble into pieces as the cold maestro walked

    Finally arriving a the lowest level, Magi walked in only to see Cian sitting before the sole pod that glowed red. Sabrine, the woman he had been chasing since earlier was right on the ground, squirming in her bondage.“Cian. I—”“Is it true, Cian?”Out of the blue, Cian asked as he leaned back without looking at him. Magi, who was met with this random question knew what he meant by that as he stood behind him. Magi knew everything as well. It was why he had thought that Teresa could be dead, not even batting an eye when he had said that. Cian knew that his brother was cold and had not felt attached to anyone in the orphanage but for Cian, it was the only place that took them in regardless. “Sigh... Yes.”Magi sighed. The cat was out of the bag. To think that Cian would know means that Sabrine had told him. “D-Don't look at me like that. He's the one who asked me.”Sabrine would look away after receiving Magi's glare, however, Cian would finally stand up and face Magi. “You said

    “——Open it!”“I am! Give me five minutes! I didn't set up everything here just to last for a few hours!”Running to the console near the pod that held Teresa, Sabrine quickly began to override the system that held her to properly eject her. However, it also meant removing the power supply of the other pods above. “Once we remove her, everything will go dark from that on. The air maintenance and power would be out and we'll have less than 10 minutes until oxygen runs out.”Going forward with the prompts, Sabrine looked at Cian who didn't look like they understood everything except for the 10-minute timer. However, it could only be for the better.All she had to do was to press yes to override the pod's lifeline system to remove them safely. “Do it.”He would naively decide, but it was the obvious choice. As Sabrine nodded, she quickly turned to press y on the console, however, a blade would come flying through as Cian pulls Sabrine away from it. “Nuh-uh! I didn't come here alone,

    After the incident in the compound, word would spread out on the surface of it being destroyed by mysterious figures once more. The fire had spread down to the bottom level of it that it was impossible to retrieve anything and all of the corpses inside were too scorched to be recognized by the local coalition forces.Sentient Guards had begun to scout the area after events like this began to be frequent, and this could be connected to the same explosion in Central Park.Toru Nagumo, who was one of the wanted criminals with a bounty was discovered, frozen, and sealed in ice. However, his vitals showed that he was still alive, and with that, the Sentient Guards took him away to be kept in a maximum security compound where no mages can escape. All the detectives could do was investigate near the surface of the compound, going down was not safe as there were four levels down that could still be burning with the tubes made out of flammable materials.There were somehow liquefied substan

    As early morning came to the orphanage, all the children were still asleep.Teresa was left to Cian's care who began to doze off soon. Bahamut was also actively guarding the children won was still wary of Sabrine.It allowed Magi to sit on the bench in front of the orphanage freely as all he could do at the moment was wait and think.He gazed at his ring and the skies as he raised his hand, looking at how the ring could materialize itself into a blade and back into a ring. “—You're too kind for your brother.”From the front door of the orphanage, Sabrine would walk out, dressed in her casual clothes. She looked different without the suit, and if Magi were to describe it, she was more decent now.“What do you mean?”He asked, never looking at her as he already sensed her presence way before she arrived. “You didn't tell him about Teresa, the program, and your work. It all ended up being discovered by him anyways.”Sabrine would begin to brush her hair as she leaned on the wooden pol

    “Hup. It's done. With this universal interface, she'll be able to maneuver around by herself. She would be able to access the mini-drones once I give her clearance. I'll work on the centrifuge now.”Amidst their operations to create a cure for Teresa, Magi created another portable console that Violet was supposed to house as an AI. There were mini-drones that were stashed to the side and bought from the black market.She was also one who would help their calculations be simulated accurately after all. [Even without clearances, I can brute force my way through.]“——?!”With a brief loud beeping sound of an alarm that changed into pleasant bling, the drones quickly turned on and flew around the room, barely avoiding the walls and going back to where they came from. It was but a quarter of Violet's capabilities. Everything she can do was still yet to be shown. “Alright. While we're at it, I might ask you some questions. I'm quite interested in how exactly, an inventor, transfers huma

    “——Well, that's how our lives go around now. Magi's a genius and I'm just the intern at the job.”Explaining their daily lives as mercenaries, Cian lifted his hands in gestures to vaguely animate everything they'd done. Teresa's eyes stared right at Cian as he told their story, and even without a hint of worry in his words and eyes, she was certain that Cian was still living a life of purity. Although he didn't show it, his heart longed to act kindly, but with the nature of his work, he burdened himself to lighten the load of his brother's. Teresa had been letting Cian tell stories from near and far from truths, knowing full well what they'd achieved in such a short time. She already knew—— rather, it was her job to do so. Cian, who she had desperately tried to lure away from the eyes that secretly watched over them, was someone whose power should never be discovered. It was why she sealed it in the first place. Once it was released, it could be used as a massive weapon of destru

    “——Magi. Have you ever trusted your brother?”“———”Before Magi could leave as he turned his back on Teresa, she asked one question that made Magi pause. “He always puts his faith in you. Isn't that why he is always reckless? He always believes that you'll come in to save and help him.”Standing at the doorstep where Magi was prompted to go, Sabrine and Bahamut listened to Teresa's words closely. They could see Magi's supposedly cold expression change into widened eyes and gritted teeth. “Yeah. That's exactly why I'm going there.”Magi would continue to take one step, but then again, Teresa would speak once more to stop him. “You know, I don't need to be saved. I do trust you can make something that would cure me even if you treated by coldly. However, the same goes for your brother... He doesn't need you to save him right now. He needs you to trust him.”“———”Magi would turn his head around to look at Teresa, and this time she was looking at Magi with a smile. He shrugged every

    Chapter 161 "Go back to Newyark after this is done, huh? I suppose I'm being treated like a Deux Ex Machina."Whispering above the roofs of the building, Magi kept himself hidden from the eyes of those who were below him. The Brainless were everywhere as few of them survived, moving towards the office as a battle ensued right outside it, wrecking the place open.However, in his position, he could also see Cian, trapped in a barrier with Mia. It looked like it was because of their technology, however, that wasn't something that they would normally do. "An evil man like me cannot be the hero of this day."Cian fired his pistol, his bullet breaking the barrier instantly before Cian could attempt to stab himself with his bare hands. Cian was startled at first as Magi observed him, but his eyes immediately went in his direction, looking up with a look of gratitude. Even after all this, Cian was still nonchalant with his actions. He still cannot believe that they were twins in blood.T

    Chapter 160: "Watch out!"Barely keeping up with Dokuji's speed, Sumire and the others couldn't get closer to force him into a close combat battle as they tried to dodge his attacks.His ranged attacks were too powerful for them to normally dodge as each slash would alter the terrain and create such a large breeze."I can't use my Blood Shackles on him. If anything else, I could use it if he was his normal size!"As Michael stood behind Kalina and Saeko, he was being protected by the ladies.It was far-fetched for a man like him to be useless right now, but he had to admit that he can't do the physical feats they can do right now. As he is now, he'll be a burden if he tried to help them."Tsk. We gotta close the gap somehow. Two people aren't enough to stop him."Sumire's assessment of the situation was right as all of them nodded in agreement. Sumire, Saeko, and Kalina might be able to stop him even by a moment if they worked together, however, that meant leaving Michael to his o

If we spend too much time here, we'll lure the other Brainless in!"As they looked around, their battle was beginning to attract the other Brainleas that survived their battles, gathering up near them as they slowly walked up them.Their men had been slowly wiped out by the others. However."Boss!"As a voice called them from below, three surging arrows would whistle out as it splits the wind, hitting the other Brainless right into their eyes as they fall, defeated with one arrow each. Their heads were impaled through the eye. This was but an easy fit for someone capable of contr

    "R-Red?!"Before her, was the almost disgusting sight of Red whose body was half rotten. On his back, there was a tube that seemed to be suctioning something out of his neck, delivering it to a machine that seemed to produce material on a tube.It was a purple substance that dripped down into a tube that glowed, and as far as Kurumi knew about it, this could be the substance that that Brainless runs with as their blood. "Kekeke... You aren't supposed to be here...""—?!"From behind, a voice suddenly spoke, laughing silently as he lurked within the dark corner of the basement.His eyes glowed green and each of his steps sounded metallic as it stomped into the concrete floor.Kurumi had her guard up, her magic flowing in the environment as she was ready to cast magic."Sniff... Sniff... That's a sweet smell. Do you mind if I...?"Just as the crazed man stepped out of the shadows, he began to suck in air with his mouth, and just as he did, Kurumi felt like her magic was being sucked i

Rather, his image was already gone when the whole attack began. As the mayor of this city, he shouldn't have let those criminals fool him in the first place."Tch. Mayor! Go ahead, I'll have my team take care of this! You are to assist the Boss!"The leader of the mercenary group would wield their Grants, taking on the three Brainless with his other companions. He pointed in the direction where the red light originated, urging him to rush."Alright!"Michael nodded in response, following through with their suggestions.Their group of twenty became reduced as similar encounters would happen, leaving Michael with the last three mercenaries that

    "Heh. What's wrong? You're making a sad face when you're winning. Are you pitying me?!"Looking at the skies, Violet stood there with a sad expression. Her expression kept quiet for a moment as if grieving someone."Oi! Face me when I'm talking to you—"Unsheathing her blade, Violet had already taken two steps past her. It was all too fast. Violet was just a few meters in front of Asa earlier, but now, she was walking past her, stopping before long.But only then she realized that something happened as Violet sheathed her blade away."GUAAAAAGH!"Her right arm fell off, rolling down as a lifeless limb. No blood came out, but only immense pain came with it as she saw the organic parts that were the inner parts of her limb. "You won't die even if I cut your limbs. This blade severs the limb but prevents the blood from going out of the wound. It was a blade for surgical operations, yet perhaps, for Gods."Asa rolled on the ground as she held her severed arm, crying out as it turned

    "That's everyone.""Yep—. Pretty much."Dusting away his hands, Vincent would respond to Kira as they wiped the floor with the enemies. With Kira using her abilities more proficiently with range, Vincent didn't have to constantly teleport in and out, treating Kira as some kind of explosive whenever she attacks. "Let's go."After all that, they entered the backdoor, and just as they thought that things were going smoothly, the corridor was blocked by Sentient Guards."Oh no," Vincent muttered.There were five of them and with both Kira and Vincent blacklisted, they all fired on sight.With less than enough space to dodge, Vincent quickly held Kira by the shoulder and blinked past them."Run!"Both of them ran deeper into the corridor and took a turn, hoping that it would be the way to the office.The Sentient Guards dashed to follow them, but as soon as they took the turn as well, the two were already out of sight, proceeding to clear the corridors."..."Vincent and Kira were able t

    The Fool Who Dares To Wield The Blade

    Chapter 154 "You're not going out alive."Standing before Cian, Violet, and Mia was Asa Narasu. She was the only remaining enemy and with her absorbing the blood of the Brainlesses as her weapons, she might as well be the final boss of this fight. "That's stupidly overpowered!"Cian muttered to himself observing Asa wield that kind of power.The blood around her flossed and encircled her in a sphere and if any of them were to be caught in it, their powers would be disabled. "Oh? That's troublesome. I might have to put this one away."Although, as Narash had the Blood Shackles on, the flames that were enveloping her hands and the Gravity Magic that made her afloat became weaker, seemingly reacting to the Blood Shackles' ability to disrupt magic itself. They all knew that it was an ability that made a mage a normal person if they made contact with it, however, seeing Asa have trouble using it with other abilities meant that it wasn't built to be along with another.It made Cian thi

    The Final Boss?

    "Hup...!"Jumping out of a portal, Magi would end up on another roof again, avoiding confrontation with the others as he helped them from a distance. He was able to get an array of weapons from the helicopter before it exploded such as a pistol and an automatic firearm which was a type he never had used before. He knew weak weapons like this wouldn't work against wouldn't work on Brainless, but he had something that most of the people in the fight don't have. He had deadeye accuracy, and when it comes to the Brainless's weakness, it was the eyes.There was one problem, however. "This is troublesome..."As he aimed down on the surface, there was still a thick cloud of smoke coming out of almost everywhere. He could barely see Cian as he had his back against a building, facing three Brainless that were running after him. Considering the air and the distance, Magi estimated that the bullet would travel less than a second and hit the Brainless, but if he misses, the distance between
