One week later, since the Baron's incident at Rulid Village.
Rudy, the 10 year old boy genius Earth Magician scholar, has been training near the Baron's central territory. At the heart of the central territory, is a large fancy 80 meters tall castle fitting for the medieval period.
He has been in a forest that was near the central territory for over 5 days already. He has been training and preparing for the riskiest plan in his life. Even simulating the possible outcomes based on the information he could acquired from nearby residents.
Rudy was staring at his reflection at a nearby pond. His eyes morph from a green color to red and with two tomoes rotating around each pupil. That's right, Rudy possess the Sharingan! And he was also a System-user who had reincarnated like Linley.
Rudy in his past life was an utter degenerate who was glued to his computer. Normally wasting his time going through forums and being a smart ass. He was also an otaku who watches a lot of anime and manga. But he didn't read any light novels, because how can a pile of text please a nerd? Like those are weirdos in his opinion.
Looking back at his new life, it has been over 1 year since he has been reincarnated. He receives something called a System. Like is that a reference to manhwa The Gamer? Like it was weird anyway.
The System has given him a free single random draw ticket, and with his not so bad luck. He had received a connection that wasn't bad nor was it the best. It was the connection to the Naruto world that he had drawn from the lottery essentially.
What is best purchase you can make with the Naruto-related shop? The answer is simple, it was the Sharingan.
The Sharingan has Izanagi and Izanami abilities from even it's initial stage and can possibly evolve to the Sage of Six Path's godly eyes which was the Rinnegan!
Even just the Mangekyou Sharingan is powerful. Two strong abilities and the Susanno ability. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan removes the Mangekyou Sharingan's drawbacks and possibly make the user even more stronger!
Rudy himself would have used the Sharingan against the Baron Arthur when they first fought. But red eyes are the sign of demon or devil possessions. Rudy doesn't doubt the ability of the Baron to unhesitatingly kill a possessed child.
Rudy at first only purchased the 1st level Sharingan. At first Rudy was testing to see if he could upgrade without paying the extra cost, but no matter how much magical beasts he had killed, it seems that it wouldn't improve unless he purchase the upgrade from the system.
But when the Baron kidnapped his childhood waifu material that was dear and precious to both current and past Rudy. Rudy had his Sharingan upgrade naturally to level 2, basically two tomoes instead of one for each one.
When Rudy asked the system about this, the system told him that the Sharingan's evolution requirements is dependent on the Host's emotional value.
Thus Rudy's current path is clear. Challenging the Baron again to reach Level 3 Sharingan. And then killing his beloved childhood friend who was essentially his best friend to acquire the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Why do this instead of grinding for EP for the System? Because in Rudy's perspective, grinding is ridiculously hard and not only that. In the overall situation, there are powerful people much more powerful than the Baron in comparison in this world. Rudy might end up dead in the near future because he was too weak and was in the wrong situation at the wrong time.
It took 9 months for Rudy to acquire enough EP to purchase the Level 1 Sharingan. Level 3 Sharingan price is ten times of that. Mangekyou Sharingan is 100 times in comparison to Level 1. Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is twice of then regular Mangekyou Sharingan price. But for the full price Rinnegan, it is literally a 1000 times the price of a Level 1 Sharingan.
There is an advantage to upgrading normally, which is it is essentially free, and Rudy only needs to pay for upgrade costs in the future.
Rudy killing Slyph is simply a stepping stone in his way. No, it was more accurate to say that killing her would become that pillar that forms his strength and motivation to become even more stronger. Killing her when the relationship is strong is the condition to upgrade the Mangekyou Sharingan.
It would be extremely difficult to acquire a similar relationship with someone else. Because Rudy himself was originally a antisocial introvert.
If Rudy were to wait 10 years later, their feelings might possibly decline instead of strengthen. That was a risk Rudy doesn't want to take.
Besides if Rudy were to acquire more power, then it would easier in the future to make progress to acquiring the Rinnegan and resurrect his childhood friend later. No hard feelings then right?
Reaching Level 3 Sharingan is a matter of perspective. As long as he views that the Baron's castle is in the way of getting to his beloved childhood friend, Slyph. Then he can forcefully stimulate eyes to the next level. Afterward, killing Slyph to achieve higher power.
Only a rational asshole such as himself would do such a thing. That's why he has to succeed at all cost.
Why is the present time a good time to launch an attack? Clearly because there are opportunities right now for Rudy to take.
Baron Arthur's son, Linley, was injured in bed. That was the most crucial information he needed. If Rudy were to use his genjutsu powers of his Sharingan onto Linley, then he would basically have a free dummy puppet to use. When it comes to tasks relating to the Baron, then having such an asset would be beneficial.
But first, he would have to get through the security that is protecting the Baron's son. From what Rudy can infer since the Baron would leave to kidnaps girls, that would mean there is a powerful bodyguard at home to protect. How likely is it that person is not one bit inferior to the Baron? Probably.
Therefore, Rudy has prepared himself to be able to at least hold his own against the Baron. The bodyguard would be a great grindstone for Rudy to push himself against in hope of reaching Level 3 Sharingan.
The sun has fallen and the moon has risen. It was in the dead of the night when Rudy begins with all his preparation for his assault again the Baron's castle.
"Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu!" Rudy performed the hand signs, and burrow himself into the ground and enter the Baron's castle sneakily without notice.
The Baron's castle was made of stone, bricks, and other materials of Earth. Which makes it compatible for Rudy to pass through it with this Earth Ninjutsu.
Of course, passing through the castle's walls wasn't the only purpose. But it was to allow Rudy to be in the walls long enough for him to implement his original complex spell formations. This combination of spell formations is relatively tricky and nigh impossible for the ordinary Earth Mage Scholar to perform. But with help from the System's calculation prowess. It was possible for him to do so.
The purpose of this spell formations was mainly to form a type of territory that enhances his prowess and capabilities to a whole new level. But one of the main advantages would be it's concealment that would even prevent the Baron Arthur from being aware that Rudy is inside in his own castle.
So far Rudy's infiltration has been smooth and no one in the castle has been alerted one bit as far he can tell.
Even though Rudy could infiltrate most areas of the Castle. It seems even with his ninjutsu and magic powers, he couldn't enter what he had believed to be Linley's room. Nor he could find the Baron's room anyway either. Perhaps their rooms had much better security than he had anticipated.
From what he scouted so far, there was only 1 maid who goes to Linley's room each and every hour so far. Rudy was envious that this degenerate young master gets a pleasure girl every hour.
In comparison to Rudy, who was a 30-year virgin mage in his past life. Rudy felt this Linley had a good life, with a rich dad who spoils him, a maid who caters to his physical needs. And whatever he wanted in this fantasy world. Especially kidnapped girls from villages and female slaves.
Now it's about to be a new hour. The same maid is about to go to Linley's room. Rudy prepared himself for combat. After all, once he kills the pleasure maid, then Linley's hidden bodyguard would show up and tries to deal with him.
Within this spell formation/territory, Rudy's magical might enhance to the point, he could cast ten times the amount of spells than he usually can. Not only that, he can instant cast and even triple cast spells. Even his surviving ability increased a lot as well.
Rudy cast a Giant Fist, which was giant stone hand in clenched fist being shot towards at the pleasure maid. In hope of smashing her to pieces. A brutal yet swift death.
