Chapitre 32: Boom!

Kadyn burned the coal inside the furnace and closed the surface except for a small portion. He brought the smallest container and placed it on the burning flames. Then he dumped Crimson Ore inside the glass container.

As the heat intensified the ore started to melt. Kadyn waited for around fifteen minutes. In this short time he drenched in sweat—his clothes sticking to his body as close as the skin, hot air smashing into his smooth handsome face. He wiped the beads from his temples and added a chemical when he saw the ore had transformed completely, turning as thin as water.

In that instant the entire container sizzled and even flames covered its surface, extinguishing after a breath—Kadyn examined inside and saw that the fluid inside had divided into two colours. One was red while another was black. The red material laid at the bottom—visible through the transparent screen of the container—while the black floated on the surface.

Kadyn held the beaker-sized container with a tong and sloshed the impurities in the pit near him. When the red liquid started to fall alongside the slag, Kadyn stopped—there were still impurities blended in the Blountine that only high-level artisans could purify, as it needed powerful spiritual energy. About which, he had no idea, so he stopped.

Afterwards he stirred the red liquid with a steel rod and opened one of the frames. It was not a sword, nor a dagger, nor any other weapon frame. It was a round orb, like a smaller version of the pokemon ball—a plug blocked a tiny gap at its bowed surface.

Kadyn pulled the stopper and put the funnel in the opening—he was amazed at the similarities in Potion Making and Artefact Making—then with the help of the tong he started to pour the liquified Blountine in the funnel. After filing the first scaffold, Kadyn brought another similar frame and filled it, too.

There was still little material left inside the container, but it was just too little and not enough to fill another pokemon frame. Then he dumped two scaffolds inside a bucket filled with water, producing bubbles inside because of the scorching heat.

He waited around half an hour before taking them out of the water—and when he opened, two red marbles fell out of them. Their surface was rough, not refined. Kadyn took them in his hands and murmured. "Not bad. Though the quality isn't that good. After all I have used frames instead of using my own hands to form them. Not that I can make it with my hands, anyway."

Placing the orbs on an anvil, Kadyn held a small hammer that he took out of many others. There were many tools available, of all sizes and shapes. After all artifacts weren't just swords and lances and bows and hammers—artifacts could be a small needle to a colossal tanker, to a shoe in a foot, to the pin in the hair of a maiden. Artisans needed delicate apparatus to deal with tiny artifacts.

Tan, tan, tan. Kadyn used a hammer to deal with the uneven surface of the orbs. He adjusted the protruded exterior delicately. Two hours later the orbs that looked rough started to shine with a crimson lustre, laid in his hand like two precious pearls.

"I just need to finish the last step and it will be done. I wonder if Elora would like it?" a smile appeared on his face, thinking about his sister. "I will do it tomorrow. A lot of time has passed. Damn, it's too hot here."

He cursed when he realised his condition, drenched with sweat and reeking with smell and clothes tainted with soot that came out of the furnace. His face covered in dirt—shaking his head, Kadyn walked out of the Artisan Hall.

"Last time I gave you a warning that you can't have any relation with Kadyn. But, see, you are standing here. Wasn't I clear enough?"

Kadyn heard an arrogant voice as he exited the hall. He frowned and eyed in the distance.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Hmph!" Hicka snorted as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking indignant but fearless, at Fenon and his lackeys.

"Teach him a lesson, Big One." Fenon curled his lips as he folded his arms in front of his chest proudly, standing with head high and chest out.

At Fenon's command, the biggest fatty stumbled towards Hicka and punched with a nasty expression, chuckling disdainfully at the weakness of the kid in front of him. Hicka peered at the incoming punch with a cold but helpless expression. Though he had already awakened the fifth star, he had no star pattern.

After all he was an orphan. Even school didn't provide him any, as he had no money to bribe teachers. For they had the right to allocate the star patterns to the students. Why would they provide a pattern to an orphan who could not give them any benefit?

"Stop right there!" Kadyn's shout rumbled when the fist was about to smash Hicka.

Fatty halted at his sudden appearance. On the other hand, Fenon grinned evilly. "Do it!' he said.

The hesitation washed away from Big On's face, seeing Fenon's conviction, and his fist smashed on Hicka's chest, striking the poor kid over five meters away.

"How dare you!" Kadyn clenched his fist and roared and brought a small ball out of his pocket. "I'll make you pay for this!"

He considered Hicka his friend, and it was because of him that Fenon bullied the kid last time. He swallowed his anger and indignation as he had suffered a backlash at that time. Who could have thought someone would take his silence for cowardice?

"I also want to see how you'll make me pay!" Fenon sneered as a star pattern surrounded him. Nine stars appeared under his feet, indicating his rank! Nine Star Elementary Mage!

Kadyn cared little about his rank at this moment, as the rage had consumed his reasoning. Without uttering a single word, he tossed the [Throwing Bomb] at Fenon and his minions.

At first Fenon laughed mockingly at his action, but when the ball neared the sense of foreboding shrouded him. His heart tightened in fear and body trembled. "Noo!" he screamed.

"Boom!" and the bomb blasted.


Chapitre 33: Taking Advantage of the Situation

The ground trembled as the bomb bloated—over twenty meters obscured in the dirt as the pebbles flew and rolled on the floor, broken. Kadyn fell on his butt in shock at the terrible blast. He never assumed the impact could be this great. He caught unprepared, gazing ahead of him with a dumb expression and thudding heart.

Hearing the blast, others dashed into the shop from outside, staring at the huge crater in terror. Only people beyond Elementary Rank could do such a thing. They didn't believe someone of that calibre would come here. That made their expressions a little sluggish and confused and fearful.

Kadyn paid no heed to those folks and peered ahead of him. Hicka had already stood from the ground, gaping at the pit with mouth agape. Big One laid around ten meters ahead of Hicka, covered in blood and clothes tattered and hair ragged and face bloody. His chest heaved up and down, gasping in deep breaths. Then he cramped to sit and eyed the ditch with a fearful shudder.

He was close to Hicka and far from Fenon, that's how he avoided the catastrophe. But when he peered at the crater he knew that death had already clutched its claws around his neck—if Fenon was dead he would die alongside him. His family would never let him go.

"Do you have any idea what you have done?!" he screamed at Kadyn.

"What have I done?" Kadyn knew that he couldn't back down now. "Do you think that bomb was the only trump card I had?" as he said, Kadyn took out two red pearls from his pocket and gestured at the fatty. "I have quite a lot of toys to play with you. You just need to infuriate me like before and you will have another taste of that dreadful feeling." Kadyn cackled as he tried to bluff with red pearls that he just made.

Big One tumbled back in horror when he saw two pearls in his hands. Though they seemed nothing but ordinary. He didn't dare to look down on 'em. After all, prior to this Kadyn had thrown an even more ordinary-looking object and what it did was anything but ordinary.

"Cough! Cough!"

Everyone heard a coughing from the crater and gazed towards the obscured ditch in bewildered faces—a breath later a weak voice sounded. "He-help~"

"Damn, that bastard's still alive!" Kadyn cursed and had the urge to rush into the pit and strangle him to death. However, he had already lost his chance. Right now he could justify that Fenon attacked and to protect himself and his friend and his shop, he had to do what he did. But if he were to kill Fenon at this moment, he won't be able to justify his actions as the man was already half dead.

"Brother!" Elora that was standing dumb at the entrance of the Potion Hall shouted and rushed towards her brother. Seeing her worried face, Kadyn smiled. Elora's anxiety decreased when she eyed his smiling and confident face.

"Help!" again a moan sounded from the crater and the dust settled down, revealing Fenon and his two minions wriggling and twitching and wailing, covered in blood and gashes and fatigued and lost.

"How did they survive?!" Kadyn clenched his fist. He thought that after such a terrifying attack he could kill these nuisances, but he failed. Regrettable, but what could he do, now. He shook his head.

"Boss! Boss!" Big One screamed, seeing Fenon's condition and dashed towards him, supporting. "Someone help!" he screamed. No one moved, standing with blank faces, as they had no idea what to do. They weren't physicians, after all.

"Ka-Kadyn, please help me!" Big One said as he gritted his teeth in humiliation. "Give me that potion."

Kadyn eyed fatty blankly as if looking at an idiot. He brought them into this condition, but now he was asking for his help instead. He glanced at Fenon and thought. Should I earn a bit from this? Though I can't guarantee anything about his lackeys, Fenon won't die. Furthermore, I could avoid future troubles that would cause due to this incident.

"Oh, of course, I would help you," Kadyn said. "If you guys hadn't tried to kill my brother Hicka, I won't even bother to glance at you. I'm a kind and peaceful person, after all"

"You…!"

Fenon's eyes spat fire, but Kadyn cared little as he went on. "However, there is no free lunch in this world. You need to pay for potions."

Big One said nothing and took out three thousand dollars and reluctantly passed them at Kadyn.

Kadyn looked at the Big One and asked innocently. "What is this?"

Fatty seemed confused at his question, but he still replied. "Three thousand for three potions."

"Three Thousand?" Kadyn gawked at the kid with excessive fat in front of him. "I think you have misunderstood something, sir. The price of a potion is 10 thousand, not 1 thousand. For three you would need 30 thousand."

"What?!"

"What, what? Are you delaying purposefully and waiting for Sir Fenon's death? Do you have ulterior motives behind this?" Kadyn pierced at the kid, looking suspiciously. Other people also jolted awake by Kadyn's statement, eyeing Big One alertly.

"Wh-what are you talking about? I'm…"

"Just do it!" Fenon gritted his teeth and said. Still laying on the rubble with his broken body.

"But.."

"Give. Him. Money!" Fenon shouted when Big One continued to deliberate. He even suspected that Kadyn might be right about this bastard.

Looking at Fenon's face, fatty knew that he had successfully infuriated him. Reluctantly, he pulled his money out of his pocket and realised that it was only around 12 thousand dollars. Left with no choice, he took Fenon's money. Of course, with his permission.

"I'm a benevolent person. I won't make you wait any further. Please take these." Kadyn passed three inferior(low) grade potions made by Elora.

Big One snatched the potion and hurried to heal wounds on his companion's body.

"Sigh, no gratitude, no word of thanks. Nothing. Since when has this world become such a selfish place? I was wondering how someone could become so round, so that's the reason. Evil thrives in this world while the righteous struggle to crawl. That's a cruel world for you. Sigh." He took an exaggerated breath, showing his remorse to others.

Fatty stumbled and almost fell at his words. Other people also looked at him with contempt as Kadyn counted the paper money gleefully.

"With this money, I can make around ten bombs like the one I just used. I wonder if those would be enough to destroy an entire family?" as he counted he said, making his voice audible to others purposefully.

As he expected, all the people present turned pale with fright at his statement. Fenon, who was already forming plans for his revenge, almost vomited blood in fear. Intention of revenge vanishing with every breath he took.
