Chapter 21: Time for a riot (Jun)

The sun rose and we were preparing for our operation. I lent my special bag to Eru since he needed something to carry all of the weapons and tools he needed for his infiltration.

Aiyu, Eru, and I looked at each other and nodded.

"Are you ready to sneak into the Guild Building, Eru?" I asked.

"Yeah. I need to wait for your signal before I'll infiltrate", he answered.

"Don't worry. Just take a look at the direction where the Northern Dungeons are. I'll send out a huge and noticeable signal and we'll start the chaos."

"Alright. Until then, I'll stand by in the nearest place I can possibly stay without raising any suspicions."

We parted ways and Aiyu and I walked on our way to the Northern Dungeons. There weren't a lot of people on the streets during this time of the day so there were no problems with causing a riot. And besides, they willingly joined a rebellion. They should be prepared to die in case they ever get involved.

"Are you sure we can handle a fight?" Aiyu asked.

"All we need to do is cause a distraction for Eru. It would be great if we can wipe out the rebels too. And besides, I'm here. I'll make sure to wipe out as many enemies as I can."

I also had a backup plan. When we decided to cause a riot, I decided to inform Reine of my plans. It was up to her if she could accomplish her part.

"I'm sure the adventurers and other warriors locked up in the Northern Dungeons are weakened. They wouldn't last long if they'll fight the healthy rebels. Adding the fact that we are outnumbered, our chances are grim", Aiyu told me.

"Don't worry. I'll have you know I'm powerful enough to take down the entire rebel army by myself. But it's too much effort for me and simply defeating them won't solve the problem."

"So you're strong?"

"I may not look like it but I'm a cheat-like being. If I want to, I can just obliterate and wipe out this entire city from existence with just a flick of my finger. Although there will be undesirable consequences if I do that, that doesn't mean I'm not capable of doing it."

"You know Grand-Class magic?"

"That's one way of looking at it. I know a lot of powerful magic. It's part of my cheat-like existence."

Her expression looked like she was confused. That was completely understandable. Unless I show her my Coder abilities, she wouldn't be able to believe what I was saying. I couldn't show them to her right now because we had to attract the least amount of attention.

We then arrived near the Northern Dungeons. It was a huge stone fortress with walls and there were two men standing guard in front.

"What should we do?" Aiyu asked.

Two magic circles appeared above me and a beam of light shot from each of them. The beams hit the men to their chests and left a hole. They collapsed to the ground and died.

After that, a larger magic circle appeared in front of me and shot a large ball of blue energy. The ball hit the gates and created a huge hole after exploding.

"We bust right in and kill anyone who's in our way", I grinned and casually walked towards the hole.

There were seven men who ran towards the hole and saw me. They were probably wondering what that explosion was about. It didn't take long for them to register that I was an enemy and they drew their swords.

Seven magic circles appeared above me and each of them shot a beam of light. The beams each hit one man and instantly killed them. This was too easy. It couldn't be helped that I was a master mage thanks to my abilities as a Coder. This was the difference between me and mere lines of codes.
