Quest Around the Multiverse

Chapter 34

|3rd POV|

It was a massacre. A shower of light Jacob summons kills more than a hundred of the creatures coming at him, and most of them are the Giant, who are notoriously hard to kill with magic. After the spell ends, Jacob tries to provoke Voldemort even more, but before he can do that, he needs to dodge the incoming attack.

He looks to the side and sees Voldemort and his Death Eater point their wand at him. The Dark Lord and his minion finally join the fight.

"I see! You guys finally join the fight! Good! Let's start once more!"

Jacob let his Star Rune shine once more and saw Voldemort quickly fire multiple spells at once.

"Don't let him finish the chant! Attack him!"

True to his prediction, Voldemort thinks that he needs to use the chant to cast that spell. With a smirk on his face, Jacob dodges all the incoming attacks, but as he continues to dodge, he gets attacked by the werewolves from his back.

They use the Giant as a platform to reach him.

"Urgh! Dammit!"

Jacob used his sword to cut the werewolves' hands and then control the lightning to fry them alive.

"I was too careless. I forgot that I'm facing an army. Let's get serious. First, let's kill some of the Death Eaters."

Jacob lands on the ground and dashes forward. His running speed is faster than his flying speed because he has yet to master the flight technique. In a few seconds, he appeared in front of the Death Eater and swung his sword, decapitating their heads one by one.

Seeing their comrade dying one by one, they start to panic. They never fight someone who is willing to kill them. They fight against the people who cannot fight back and the people who fight back using a non-lethal spell.

When are they fighting against someone who is willing to kill? Then, they will have a hard time fighting them.

Spell after spell is fired, but it cannot touch Jacob. He uses his body to dodge and easily block incoming attacks using his wand. The only ones who can touch and hit him are the werewolves and the Giants.

The people who watch on the side look at the fight in awe. Never in their lifetime do they see a lone man fighting against an army of Dark Creature and Dark Wizard. To them, Jacob is not even human anymore.

His speed alone is faster than even Fenrir Greyback, the strongest Werewolf in Europe.

They have seen a wizarding duel before, but the people have never seen a wizarding fight, especially a fight like this.

All broadcasting companies around the world quickly put an emergency broadcast to show the fight between the Dark Lord and his army against Gilderoy Lockhart, the Basilisk Slayer.

Seeing that he is cornered, Jacob decides to use one of his trump cards. He takes out a scroll from his inventory and rips it apart.

A second later, an arrow made of fire appeared above him and flew at his enemy. Jacob continues to take out the Rune Scroll from his inventory and rip it apart one by one. Fire arrow after fire arrow flies around the battlefield and kills many Dark Creatures that come at him.

"How?! What kind of magic is this?! That should be impossible! Even Onmyoudou in Japan cannot cast spells instantly and this powerful!"

Jacob looks at Voldemort and gives him a smirk before saying anything.

"Hah! This is forgotten magic! This is the first magic humans ever use! This is Rune Magic! Not Runic Magic but Rune Magic and I'm the only one who knows about it. Let me show you the full power of Rune Magic!"

After saying that, Jacob activates his Water and Cyclone runes at once. Jacob wants to use Unite Magic.

The two symbols appear and combine with each other. A massive Eastern Dragon made of Water appeared in the sky a second later. This Unite Magic can be used using the most powerful spells from Cyclone and Water runes.

The dragon roars and releases a torrent of Ice from its mouth and freezes many creatures on its way. Unlike the previous spell, this Unite Magic will last for half an hour.

Seeing the Dragon wreaking havoc, Voldemort twirls his wand and summons a massive snake made of fire to attack the dragon. The two giant elements fight against each other for dominance, Water and Wind fight against Fire.

While Voldemort is busy feeding the Fiendfyre with his magic, the other Death Eaters keep firing their spell at Jacob, who keeps killing as many dark creatures as possible. While he is fighting the werewolves attacking him, Jacob can feel a sudden pain coming from his chest.

"*cough* Urgh"

Jacob leans on the barrier behind him as he coughs and spits another black blood from his mouth. He removes his gloves and sees his hand get even darker.

"Dammit. I did not have much time. The curse will eat me alive."

He looks at the people behind the barrier who try to help him but can't and gives them one last smile.

"Don't worry. I will protect you. This is my duty as a professor after all."

After giving them one last smile, Jacob gets up from the ground and takes a deep breath. This will be his last attack, and he needs to make sure he destroys Voldemort's current body.

"O Wind! Become my speed!"

Jacob takes a large amount of Wind Mana from his ring and reinforces his legs and arms. This will triple his speed. To the people behind him, it is as if the wind obeys his command, gathers around his legs, and dances around them.

"O Water! Be my shield!"

A large amount of Water Mana comes from his necklace and creates ten blobs of water floating around him. This water will protect him automatically from all the incoming attacks. However, it is more effective for magical attacks rather than physical attacks, so he still needs to be careful fighting against the dark creature.

"O Lightning! Be my sword!"

Jacob takes all of the lightning mana from his ring and infuses it into his sword. His sword is now coated with lightning to increase its sharpness and its reach. Previously, his katana was around one meter in length, but now it is almost two meters long, almost double the length.

"O Star! Be my guide!"

This is a support spell he created using the mana he purified using the Star Rune inside of him. Because Star Rune in the Suikoden world is a guide for the chosen one, this spell lets him see into the future for two seconds, and this spell lasts for five minutes before all of the mana inside his ring will be empty.

With all the preparation, he can easily see the incoming attack and react accordingly. Jacob moves like a lion running to his prey. He dodges all of the incoming attacks as he knows they are coming and acts to dodge and block them before doing his counterattack.

In a matter of a minute, he finally arrives in front of Voldemort, who fires spell after spell at him while also feeding his Fiendfyre. Sadly for him, it was not enough to stop Jacob. When he arrives in front of the Dark Lord, he activates his rune but creates more light work to ensure it looks more powerful than its original power.

"Berserker Blow!"

The people shield their eyes as a bright light appears when Jacob' sword hits the Dark Lord. After a few seconds, they can once again see what is happening. When their eyes land on the Dark Lord's destroyed body, they start to cheer, but their cheer only lasts for a few seconds as a dark cloud appears from the body. It was the soul of the dark lord.

"This is not the last! Remember my word! I will be back!"

Seeing their lord is dead, the Death Eater disappears into a cloud of black smoke and runs away. While the dark creature is either run away or has a last stand against the Water Dragon. Sadly for them, the dragon is not on their level and gets killed.

The winner in this fight is Jacob, and he manages to complete the side quest given to him.
