Capital City, Core Area.
A luxury mansion, rooftop.
An old man in his sixties was floating in the swimming pool wearing a floating tube, seemingly enjoying his free ti with a relaxed smile on his face.
The wind breeze felt particularly cold, refreshing, and comfortable today, and the night sky was adorned with stars and the bright moon.
"Ah, this is life; it's a good thing I retired; living like this and spending the rest of my days in luxury is not a bad idea at all…"
Just when the old man was having a relaxing ti, his phone, which was placed on the chair placed beside the pool, rang.
The old man lazily reached for the phone while still standing in the swimming pool, and an annoyed look appeared on his face as he took the call.
"What is it!? Why are you calling so late in the night! Didn't I tell you guys not to disturb ! I will go to the company to deal with the rest of the work tomorrow!"
The other party on the phone hurriedly explained so urgent company-related business, to which the old man replied in a hurry.
"Ah, forget about it; I will go to that banquet myself later. I can't trust such a big deal to you newbies! You guys just know how to give a headache and nothing else!"
With that said, the old man cut off the call and threw away the smartphone in annoyance.
"F*cking Garbage! These people can't even do so simple tasks; the team I had in the organization was much better and more professional; these people are all so f*cking lazy!"
"Tch, waste of ti!"
He jumped out of the pool and walked over to the edge of the rooftop to enjoy the amazing view.
"Sigh, I really like this cold and refreshing wind… If it's like this, I can stay and enjoy it forever…"
Just when he was enjoying the view, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition and then suddenly noticed an unknown man standing right beside him.
The man took off his big hat that was partially hiding his face, and his dark purple hair flailed with the air.
Seeing those dark purple eyes staring at him, the old man couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.
"J-jareth Blaze? H-How is this possible?"
Jareth tilted his head and said,
"Nothing is impossible… You are underestimating my capabilities, it seems…"
The old man took a few steps back and said, in a shocked tone,
"B-but I placed a self-destructive spell on the minds of all my minions!! The mont they try to reveal information about , their heads will explode on their own!!"
"I use a grade-1 magic artifact!! No one can undo such a powerful binding spell!! Not even a grade-1 mage!!"
The old man was so shocked that his legs gave away, and he slumped down on the floor, desperately trying to run away.
At that mont, Jareth just shook his head and said,
"Yeah, indeed, if it were any other grade-1 mage, you could have really deceived them; no one could have found your whereabouts from your minions…"
"But unfortunately for you… you t …"
Jareth already sensed the presence of the self-destruct spell on Hark and Zeran's bodies the mont he saw the two with his own eyes.
He directly deactivated that self-destruct spell in Hark's body and then tortured him till he spilled all the beans for him.
"But I have to acknowledge it; your minions are really tight-lipped; if it were an ordinary person, they would have spilled everything the mont they saw my face…"
"A grade-1 mage is in itself a force to be afraid of, after all…"
The old man still refused to believe reality; his plan was full-proof, and he took all precautions that he could.
Not only did he place the self-destruct spell, but he always used to wear a magically enhanced mask whenever he t with his minions, making it impossible for them to see his face.
But what he didn't know was that Jareth played the ga, and he knew about all the major characters.
"Old Man Barin, you really are very unlucky, you know… Actually, I already had suspicions about you…" Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
"So I was already doing my research on you, and when your minions told about the general behavior patterns and your powers, I easily figured out your identity…"
Barin is a warrior and has wind affinity; he uses wind to create massive wind pressure and increases his swordsmanship speed to an insane level.
Jareth knew about all this because Barin is a mid-level villain character in this ga.
He is a minister in the governnt now, but originally he was an assassin and the leader of the whole assassination organization that assassinated Jareth's mother.
Barin was the one who accepted the task from the Blaze family to kill Jareth and his mother.
That day, the minions killed Jareth's mother but weren't able to kill Jareth, as a neighbor actually called police when he noticed screaming sounds from Jareth's house.
Later, Jareth lived like a beggar on the streets, constantly hiding in the sewers for fear of getting killed, which continued until he was taken in by the vassal family that raised him up.
But then these sa assassins killed that vassal family too.
Although they were just doing their so-called 'work', Jareth can't forgive them at all.
Barin glanced at Jareth with a look of horror on his face and said,
"S-stay away… "I had nothing to do with your dead family or anything; all I did was just accept a request for work that was sent by the Blaze Family…"
"I work for money, and that's my sole motive. I had no conflicts with you, so if you want revenge, go for the Blaze family or it's vassal families; just s-stay away from …"
Jareth just shook his head and said,
"Yes, yes, I know you are innocent; in fact, you are so innocent that you like to throw your victims in the sky using your wind-type attacks, and then you watch them fall to the ground…"
"Your favorite dialogue for that mont is 'How does the wind feel above?"… am I right?"
The look of horror on Barin's face beca even more intense after hearing those words.
"H-how do you know that all!? I-impossible!?"
"I never left any evidence! This is impossible!"
Actually, Barin had a final showdown with the protagonist, and he always keeps saying this sa boss dialogue whenever he uses his signature move of throwing the opponent high up in the sky.
It was a difficult boss fight, and Jareth lost many tis, so he rembers this dialogue fairly well as he kept hearing it for hours straight.
It's not that Barin was not thorough enough in his hiding thods; it's just that Jareth knew about his powers and skills beforehand from the ga and when he heard the explanation of the powers that Hark gave about his boss.
Jareth imdiately understood that Hark was talking about Barin.
'Originally, I wasn't planning on dealing with the villains, as they are actually on my side and can be helpful for beating the protagonist to earn more 'CP'…'
'But this guy crossed the line, so I can only do the sa…'
Jareth shook his head and said,
"Forget it; I am too lazy to explain everything to you in that much detail; it's just a waste of ti…"
[Basic Magic: Mana Bubble Cage!]
A spherical bubble-like cage confined Barin inside it in an instant.
"You like the sky, the wind, and the cold, right? Let show you what the real sky and cold are like…"
[Basic Magic: Mana Shield!]
[Basic Magic: Float!]
Jareth cast a mana shield on himself and flew into the air at an incredible speed.
The mana bubble containing Barin also followed behind him.
"You know what is really cold and high? 'The Space'!"
Jareth increased his speed, flew straight into the sky like a rocket, and crossed thousands of ters in a re second.
Barin couldn't help but start crying, like beg for rcy, but the bubble cage locked all sound inside, so no one could hear him screaming at all and no one would co to save him.
"You like throwing people into the sky, right? Today I will show you what it really ans to throw soone into the sky!"
Jareth kept going up and up until he directly crossed the Earth's atmosphere and reached outer space.
At that mont, he deactivated his 'Mana Bubble' spell, and Barin began to float in space like a rock.
He clenched his throat and tried to breathe desperately but couldn't, and his body started to freeze at an insane speed.
"Grade-2 warriors like you can indeed survive the space much longer, but you know what? I directly destroyed your mana circuit, and you don't have any mana now."
"You are nothing but a helpless, ordinary old man…"
A smile spread across Jareth's face as he inquired.
"So, tell now, 'How does the wind feel above?', Is it not blowing at all?"
Barin died from lack of oxygen, and his body froze. The fatal radiation of the sun destroyed his body's cells.
Barin was completely dead.
"You did say that if it's cold and comfortable, you can stay for an eternity, right? I will let your dead body float in space forever now…"
With that said, Jareth kicked the corpse, and it floated in the direction of the sun.
'Ah, it seems you aren't going to stay cold for too long… But that small ti is good enough for you, right? The sun will burn you and give you a lot of warmth… good bye…'
