Chapter 2013: The Red Banquet - Final

When the Elephantmen Leader had died, the wind gales started to pick up, making the entire place look as if there was a sandstorm that was ongoing, however, Jin had already sensed a huge monster coming from within the sandstorm.

There was no doubt about it that it was the boss monster of the area now that the Elephantmen had already been killed. Unfortunately, the sandstorm was interfering with his senses but his inverse eyes were able to know the general direction of where the monster was coming from.

So as Jin waited for the boss monster to emerge, he began to generate Maqi and slowly pushed that energy into his Blooded Mana Sword, waiting for the opportune time to strike.

"Heh, looks like the boss knows that the waiting game is to its disadvantage," Jin said to himself as he saw that the boss could not wait any longer and decided to pounce into action literally.

It was a monster that exceeded the expectation of imagination for Jin and it made him feel that he was fighting a product of a Void Being. Its ears were the trunks of the elephant while there were tusks protruding from its entire body like a porcupine.

Jin had no idea what it was and until the System decided to just display its name right above it as Tusk Porcupine. Jin then knew that this was merely a chimera of some sort and fighting it head on might prove detrimental.

"If that is the case, then let's perform some improvised smithing too," Jin said out loud and it confused Mr Hammer who was now hanging right at the side of his waist.

"What do you want to smith, I do not see anything that is smithable?!" Mr Hammer exclaimed and Jin smiled. If we are fighting an enemy that is out of my imagination, then I have to let it fight something that is out of our imagination as well, is it not?" Jin said as he used the Maqi that he stored in his sword to slam it on the ground.

But instead of things flying away from the impact, corpses, weapons, and other items were being attracted by the Sword's Maqi. It was a pulling magic and that also messed up the pounce that the Tusk Porcupine had attempted.

At that point, Gara initially thought that he wished to use the boss monster as an ingredient. If he was able to do that, it would be hilariously crazy as a power. That was what the others thought too as well until they all witnessed how Jin went to use his hammer to smack the Tusk Porcupine far away while he commenced his improvised smithing.

All the dead corpses including the dead War Minister and the Elephantmen had been utilised in this improvised smithing and some of the audience was not too keen on Jin's indiscriminate use of resources. At the same time, they all kept quiet, fearing that it might incur certain eyes to look at them and report them for their 'opinions'.

However, the show went on as Jin continued his improvised smithing with a rhythmic banging of the hammer right and each material that had been used had dissipated into a flash of light. They had no idea what he was banging on because of the angle of the magic eye. (They had forgotten that the magic eye was created by Jin.)

So, when the last final bang came about, the Tusk Porcupine did the very same pounce but this time holding on to a huge tusk while diving straight to Jin's position.

Somehow, it coincidentally clashed with the flash of light and a huge arm emerged from the process of Improvised Smithing. It was the dead Elephantmen Leader but unlike necromancy, the monster's gaping wound seemed to reveal mechanical parts inside of it.

The Elephantmen Leader used its nose to wrap around the incoming tusk and stopped the assault dive the Tusk Porcupine had initiated and with its trunk's strength, it was able to slam the Tusk Porcupine to the ground, rendering it rattled for a moment.

Jin wanted to move in for the kill but he was curious what this new creation was capable of and allowed it to show more of its skills. Like a robot, a hole opened mechanically behind its back and it shot out two spears, enabling the Mechanical Elephantman to pick them up with its humanoid arms and he used them to smash them into the most vulnerable part of the Tusk Porcupine, its underbelly.

Blood immediately spewed and the Tusk Porcupine retreated while extending all of its tusks out toward the direction of the Mechanical Elephantman. Jin did not need the smarts to move out of the way but at the same time, it would be a pity if this Mechanical Elephantman would be destroyed.

Hence, he threw Mr Hammer to the Tusk Porcupine's direction causing it to flinch for a moment and its release of the tusks from its back was delayed ever so slightly, allowing the Mechanical Elephantman to move away from the shot's direction.

But to Jin's surprise, those tusks were not just a natural mechanism of the Tusk Porcupine. It was able to track its target and follow it no matter where it went. Still, that did not deter the Mechanical Elephantman as it used its brute force to destroy the first few before they realised that it was using the same magic as the lackeys that had died.

The only difference was that it was unleashing it on a stronger and more powerful scale.

However, what the audience was surprised by was that the Elephantman was not even casting at all. Magic Circles merely appeared right behind it and it shot out those magic missiles without a sound made. The multitude of magical missiles slammed right against the tusks causing a few to be intercepted while the older looking tusks were able to withstand the attacks and proceeded forward.

A few hit the Mechanical Elephantman despite its solid defence and it was by no means the fault of the improvised product that Jin had made. Those tusks that survived the magical projectiles were even stronger than steel and they also broke the spears that the defender tried to use to defend himself.

The fierce attack caused the Mechanical Elephantman to lose its right hand and a portion of its torso. Yet, it was still mechanically alive even though it was spewing out 'black blood' from parts of that had been torn by the attacks.

The Mechanical Elephantman moved forward and its back opened a hole once more to allow a battleaxe to pop up from it, allowing the mechanical monster to have a new weapon in its hand rather than a broken shaft.

While the Tusk Porcupine was strong, it had a fatal flaw. By doing that attack just now, it was supposed to kill its target instantly. However, the fact that it was a tad too far for the attack because of the danger it sensed and Jin's interference had caused it to be now vulnerable.

So, when the Mechanical Elephantman came, all it could do was to use its ear trunks in an attempt to wrap it and fight the attacker with teeth and claws.

Unfortunately, the Elephantman had its trunk as well and even though the Tusk Porcupine was successful in wrapping the Mechanical Elephantman, its trunk was able to slip out and unleash a magic circle that spew out flames that literally burnt the Boss monster to charcoal even as it struggled to bite and claw its way.

It did not have the perception that this mechanical Elephantman had no sense of touch and thus the sensation of getting burnt did not bother it at all. When everyone saw Jin cleared the Rank C Dungeon with his powers be it new or old, it was pretty obvious that they had summoned a Warrior King.

So, when he came out of the dungeon portal, everyone was kneeling down voluntarily including the Royal Mage General to pledge genuinely their loyalty. They knew that any further resistance against this new Warrior King would be foolish.

"All hail the new warrior king of Ress!" Everyone said in unison after Gara shouted.

"What? I am called the Warrior King? That sounds so lame. Call me the Discarded King instead. It's a promise I made with this stupid Hammer." Jin returned the reply and they stared in disbelief. Even Mr Hammer was bewildered by Jin's comment.

"Why? What's wrong? You guys wanted to discard me in the first place, right? So I guess it's fitting that my hammer's request and the way you guys handled the situation made it appropriate for me to be called as the Discarded King."

Gara did not exactly agree with this naming stance but at the same time understood where Jin was coming from. If he was called the Warrior King, the citizens would not care for this new king that had been summoned. But if he were to have a unique nickname despite it being a little derogatory in nature, it would attract the attention of the citizens and would allow them to be curious.

However, Gara was yet again thinking too much of the situation as Jin really did not give a shit about titles. He had so many that he would not have bothered. The only thing that he truly bothered because of the theatrics he had made, allowing the System to grant him bonuses. While they were idolising him, Jin opened up his system to see all the notifications that he did not check just now.

"You earned the Title. Victor of the Red Banquet. One time bonus experience to skills +20%"

"Surviving a Banquet and while destroying supposed enemies of the state. All Stats +3"

"To introduce a ridiculous name but also be acknowledged by the kingdom. All Stats +2"

"Completed Rank C Dungeon by yourself. All Stats+1"

"Creating the First Mechanical Being in this world. Magic +1, Luck +1"

"Cutting four or more monsters in one swing. Str +1, Agi +1"

"Destroying the major filth of the kingdom. Luck +10"

"Heh." Jin smiled.
