Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 310 - A New Brother

"Ha ha! I still can't believe the enemy had managed to fool us all!" Said the guild master with joy

"You sure seem pretty happy for someone who was supposed to be dead…" Hexo muttered

"Says the one who had an outrage." Whispered satire

"I did not…" Hexo replied as he avoided her gaze

"Hm~ I see…"

"There's nothing to see." 

"Sure, sure."

Annoyed, Hexo continued to walk, ignoring the teasing lady next to him as the group descended down the mountain.

It was now morning, and they had all just about had enough of being there, after all, encountering a dragon and a demon in the same day was no common experience.

Dark circles could be seen beneath their eyes, due to the lack of sleep. The only one who seemed to have been doing good was the guild master and the bright sword who hadn't dealt with anything.

Those who had seen it however, were unable to take their eyes off of John. But it wasn't their fault, they had seen something which couldn't be logically explained after all, or so they believed. 

Well, at least most of them.

"Hey, John. How did you do that." Said Hexo as he walked up the group.

"Don't leave me alone at the back!" Complained Satire

However, her complaints were unfortunately ignored as they failed to get past Hexo's curiosity.

John looked over at Hexo who now walked beside him, and tilted his head in confusion.

"That hole… The dark flames… and how did you kill it?" Hexo asked

John stared at Hexo and Hexo nervously stared back, waiting for a reply as he did so. The others also listened in as they were curious. Everyone did their best not to interrupt. But just as John opened his mouth to reply

*HOWWWLLLLLLLL!*

The sound of a howl, resounded throughout the forest, it came off as being very close to them and was most likely one belonging to a Great wolf. The same race they had dealt with when they were ascending the mountain.

John, turned to the sound and raised his staff when suddenly, everyone panicked about not being able to hear the answer, when suddenly, Hexo said.

"Don't worry about that, just go on with what you were going to say. Forget about the puppy." 

They all nodded in agreement.

John looked over at everyone again, before nodding and opening his mouth, only to be able to say a letter, before being interrupted once again.

"A-"

*GROWL!*

A wolf suddenly leapt through the trees, straight at Hexo who was dying of curiosity. It's mouth wide open, aiming to tear at Hexo. 

And without so much as Looking, Hexo quickly turned his body to the wolf, before shouting "SHUT UP!!!" as he grabbed on to it's head and slammed it down into the ground, leaving behind a trace of fire remnant from the downward momentum. 

Following that, more wolves came out of the trees, leaping at the group. But Hexo wasn't the only one that was pissed.

The bright sword, with a rather cold smile on his handsome face, swung his sword straight down at the great wolf's head. Slashing it in half in a single swing.

Another two came in from the right side, where Shera and Satire walked. However, their faces quickly turned purple after being pierced by Shara's throwing knives, causing them to be paralyzed in the spot.

Satire finished them off with three quick chants. The first trapped their legs on the earth beneath them. The second, created a single earth spike right under their bellies and the last formed an earth boulder right above them.

With a little sigh, the boulder was dropped right above their backs, causing them to fall, belly first onto the spike, allowing it to pierce right through them.

*Pierce*

Only one word, Brutal. The wolves let out wails of pain before eventually quieting down.

"Sorry…" Satire muttered before quickly turning over to John.

The others also did this motion as they were curious to hear it. Even The bright Sword, someone who didn't speak much. He hadn't even given his name yet.

John was surprised, he didn't expect everyone to be that focused on him, but despite that, he wasn't sure how to explain it.

"Dark… flame… Fire magic and dark magic combined… Hole was black hole… Unique magic… Killing the demon… Destroy all hearts and burn body…" He muttered

That was all. After that, he faced the front and continued to walk as if nothing had happened. It had been a while since he had talked, so his figure of speech and his words felt harder to pronounce and convey, but contrary to his expectations he was still able to do it.

Everyone was surprised, not by the reply, but by the fact that he had spoken for that long. They had thought he hated speaking and was cold-blooded, but it turns out, he wasn't so bad. The fear they had of him was gradually starting to loosen up.

"Is that so… Then, next time I'll make sure I burn all of it's hearts. Either way, thanks for helping us out, Bro." Said Hexo as he put his arm on John's shoulder

"Aren't you too young to be calling him your bro, Hexo?" Satire asked

"That depends on his age, speaking of which, how old are you?" Hexo asked

"Fifteen… Probably." Replied John

"WHAT!?!" The guild master shouted

Everyone's attention turned to him, and he quickly cleared his throat before turning his face away in embarrassment.

That being said, they were all surprised, even Hexo. 

Cold sweat dripped down Hexo's forehead as he muttered "You're one year younger than me…"

It was the most surprising thing they had heard that morning, and they would most certainly not forget it any time soon. The one most disturbed by this fact was the bright sword.

'Back then I was still training… And I was nowhere near his level…' He quietly contemplated 

"Well, that's good. I'm not very good with formalities and since we're around the same age. That means we get to be Bro's. Isn't that right?" Hexo asked with a bright smile

John who saw this, stared for a moment before nodding. 

'I was wondering about the blindfold, but I'll just ask later..' Thought Hexo as he walked with joy.
