At night, in the outer city, Desmond was walking towards the inner-city gate. The people who were still on the street were confused by the sound of footsteps passing them; they only saw the dust on the road fly up as if someone was passing at a fast speed.

While he was running, Desmond saw a few thieves pointing their blades at the young women. He passed them and quickened his pace.

From a distance, he could already see the shadow of the gateway to the outer city.

“Damn, it’s so far.” Desmond looked back. “Next time, I’ll just give up if I still don’t find a demon.”

*Crash* Because Desmond was unprepared, he bounced back. “Fuck! What happened?” He stood up and saw a very shocking sight.

Desmond rubbed his eyes many times before, finally, he shouted, “What the fuck are you doing here?!”

Desmond saw two men with a middle-aged woman doing the same thing; the thing that made him angry was that they did that in the middle of the road, blocking Desmond’s way.

As a result of the collision, they only slightly knocked off, then they saw Desmond, who was screaming, his clothes covered with blood. One of the thieves spoke, “Hey kid, get out of here.”

“Fucking noisy kid.” Regardless of Desmond’s place, situation, and condition, they continued their activities.

“Ah..Ah…Help m-e, ahh.” The woman moaned, trying to ask Desmond for help.

“Ok,” Desmond replied straightforwardly. He immediately slashed three of them at once.

*Pop* Blood poured out of their stomachs for a second before their upper and lower body parts separated and finally fell to the ground. Before the blood hit Desmond again, he jumped away from their bodies; he did not want so much blood staining his clothes.

Seeing their shocked gazes, Desmond just stared at them without expression. “I’ve given you another chance in hell. Enjoy that chance.” He continued running toward the gate after using the spell light distortion.

In the morning, at Desmond’s residence, the sun was already shining high above his eyes; his body suddenly shook to the left and right. “Young master, Young master, wake up.” He heard a voice calling him.

Slowly, Desmond got up from his sleep; he wiped his eyes and saw almost all the servants gathered in his room. “HUH? What’s wrong with all of you?”

One of the servants answered, “It’s noon, young master; we are afraid that your training schedule will be interrupted, so we dared to wake up the young master.” Hearing this, Desmond immediately looked out the window.

The sun was already overhead, which meant it was the middle of the day, “What ?!” Desmond then turned to his clothes. “Huff, at least I’ve changed my clothes.” Then he turned to all the servants. “Ok, everyone can go. Thank you.”

“No problem, this is our job.”

Only after the servants left did Desmond get ready for training.

…

Near the forest surrounding Desmond’s house, as usual, he slashed a tree using a wooden sword. There were also various marks from his cuts. Some were tilted to the side, some were stabbed directly, and some were straight, like being attacked from above.

After completing training, this time, Desmond practiced with spells. One by one, Desmond cast spells, all from the elements of water, earth, fire, wood, and iron. These elements were the essential of all existed elements. Desmond could only cast lifestyle spells because he hadn’t yet reached the wizard stage.

The difference between a lifestyle spell and a wizard spell is the output; if a lifestyle spell could burn a part of the tree, then the wizard spell could ignite a forest.

As for the custom spell Desmond created, it included a sub-element of light, which anyone could make but required high logic and imagination.

Currently, Desmond had combined the two elements in his hand. “Earth plus metal will become something new, right?” Each of Desmond’s hands had one of the attributes previously mentioned. Desmond then tried to put his palms together.

[Combination Element Detected]

[Did Host want to combine it? Y/N]

With high spirits, Desmond answered, “Yes!”

Gradually, the two elements united and then shone brightly. After waiting a few seconds, the shine slowly faded. Desmond finally saw the finished result of the two elements.

The fusion of the Earth Element with the Metal Element produced an element that was half metal and half earth. Desmond directly directed both hands towards the tree.

*Crash* The tall tree fell, with a large hole at its roots. Desmond was shocked; his jaw dropped to the ground; he saw a large metal formed from the ground, then the metal continued to attack the tree before finally, the metal grew in size by itself and grounded his final strike.

This process only happened in a few seconds. “A-amazing, so this is the metal that normally forms in the air. It’s now one with the ground and can form everywhere.” Desmond then laughed hysterically.” This spell will be useful to attack enemies secretly, haha.”

It was late afternoon at Desmond’s house. Alice, who had just returned from shopping, immediately looked for Desmond. She asked the nearest servant and found Desmond’s location, reading a book in the library.

“Brother, let’s get ready.”

“I was ready earlier, Sis.”

Seeing Desmond’s clothes, Alice shook her head. “No, that is not appropriate to wear to the King’s party. Come with me to change.” Alice then grabbed Desmond’s hand and took him to his room.

…

After they changed their clothes, Desmond then saw Alice.

She wore a long black gown with long sleeves with a cut on each shoulder; this dress also closed Alice’s cleavage but exposed Alice’s long legs and showed Alice’s very smooth skin on each side of her shoulder, leaving a sexy impression.

“Sis, why are you wearing clothes like that?” Desmond knew when she dressed that way, trouble would inevitably fall on them.

“Why not? Do I look good? Ehehehe, I know I look good. That’s why you’re questioning me, brother.”

Desmond was rendered speechless. Which blind man said you’re ugly? I just want to tell you that trouble will surely come to us! He wanted so badly to say that, but he knew this would surely hurt Alice.

*sigh* “This woman is complicated,” Desmond said while looking at the moon that shines beautifully at night.

Alice, who heard this, became slightly offended and pinched Desmond.. “What kind of praise is that?! Let’s go before it’s too late.”
