Chapter 788: The Glory Guild
Chapter 788: The Glory Guild
With the Glory Guild being a large guild, there were many candidates that fit the criteria that Harvey was looking for. To be honest, Bronk wasn’t even the only one who had committed
despicable acts.
Many powerful mages who had abused their powers had gone to the Glory Guild. It was almost as if the place was some sort of image change for them. With it, Harvey had done some digging, and the most information could be found on Bronk.
For one, it turned out that Bronk was still committing a large number of crimes, and the department was just covering it up. Honestly, it was above the position Harvey was in, but the more he found, he wouldn’t have been so surprised if there was a whole division within the police to just cover up the acts of the Grand Magus and their guilds.
Still, cover-ups needed to be recorded, so all of the information could still be accessed.
‘This is it,’ Harvey thought as he looked at Bronk. ‘This mage is even a higher star level than me. Dark magic always has the element of surprise, but in situations like this, it’s best to use one’s head to fight.’
‘I’ve read your file-you built up so much of your reputation. Every time an incident occurred, you would go to the police to deal with it, to cover it up. That’s how much you cared about your reputation.’
‘Of course, if I release this information, the police will be able to trace it back to me, so I don’t plan on doing that, but all I need from you is to comply,’ Harvey thought.
Bronk looked at the situation, staring at Harvey. He was trying to see if he recognized the man in the seat, but there was a hood and a face mask covering most of his features, making it impossible to tell.
“Did I hurt someone close to you, a sister… or maybe a lover? Is that why you’re doing this?” Bronk asked.
“What are you saying? Are you saying all these images, these videos, the reports are they all real?” The woman next to him asked as she started to grab Bronk’s arm. “Answer me!”
Immediately, Bronk snapped out his hand and grabbed her, holding the woman around her neck. It started to freeze over, and then, clenching his hand, the ice broke, and the head fell to the floor with part of the neck frozen.
“You decided to blackmail the wrong person,” Bronk said. “Everything is fine, as long as there are no witnesses, and that included her.”
Bronk lifted both of his hands, and a stream of misty ice magic came out of them. Immediately, from the seat, it was Harvey who needed to react fast. He pushed back with his feet, falling backward and landing on the floor. As the stream of mist hit the chair, it completely froze over.
“This was somewhat expected!” Harvey said as he got up and crossed his arms. “But I guess this is just how it was meant to be!”
Crossing his arms, out from behind the door, dark tentacle-like structures came out and wrapped around Bronk’s wrists and ankles. Immediately, he could feel a burning sensation on his skin.
“This magic… it’s Dark magic. I should have known, it was my job to get rid of scum like you!” Bronk shouted.
“Look who’s talking!” Harvey shifted his hand forward, and a spike of magic came out from his palm, reaching out to hit Bronk in the chest. As it came toward him, Bronk opened his mouth, and fire came out, hitting the Dark magic and pushing it away.
“Even though Dark magic is based on destruction, he’s still a six-star mage after all, but he has no clue what Dark magic can do,” Harvey said.
Using strong Ice magic, Bronk was able to create space by turning the air into ice between the Dark magic that was wrapped around him. He expanded it out, breaking the Dark magic.
When he turned around, though, he could see a large tentacle hit his body and shift him to the side. Bronk’s entire body was seen crashing through the wall and breaking part of it.
As Bronk looked up, he could see a strange shadowy figure come from the hallway, and then it moved over to Harvey’s back, covering him.
“That… that’s not Dark magic, is it? I’ve never heard of Dark magic being able to do something like that,” Bronk said.
“You’re right. I knew you would be a tough one, so I went all out from the beginning. This is my breakthrough. Unfortunately, my magic core is Earth magic, and my breakthrough is a puppet made out of the earth itself, but mixing it with my Dark magic made it extremely interesting,” Harvey said.
Lifting his hands, the puppet behind him lifted its hands as well, and it was as if two figures were both gathering Dark magic around their palms. Bronk, seeing this, knew he needed to move, but when he tried, his hands were stuck to the floor.
“What the…” They were iced down, but his ice abilities shouldn’t have had that effect.
That’s when he could see a young woman with one of her hands on the floor, having used Ice Magic. Being so used to the cold, Bronk hadn’t even noticed it since his mana core was ice- based.
Not only that, though, he could see that in her other hand, she had also been gathering Ice magic.
“Dark Cannon!” Harvey shouted out, and he and his Dark Puppet both threw out beams of Dark Magic.
Meanwhile, Kelly did the same, throwing out the magic from the palm of her hand. The whole area was being destroyed. The floor was disintegrating into nothing, even the wall behind, as the Dark magic, concentrated in one place, exploded into different areas.
Eventually, both Harvey and Kelly stopped.
“I thought… we weren’t meant to kill him. He’s still alive, right?” Kelly asked.
That was when she could feel a chill enter the whole room. When she looked at the furniture and the walls around her, frost was gathering on every single item.
“Both of you are using Dark magic. What is this? Is something going on that we, the Glory Guild, don’t know about?” Bronk said. “I guess I have no choice but to go all out. Breakthrough!”
The light in the area where Bronk was started to shine, and the whole area dropped by at least ten degrees in an instant. A massive amount of magic exploded out, shifting Harvey and Kelly back around a meter.
“I knew he wouldn’t die from that!” Harvey said with a smile.
