Chereads / The Atlantean Compensator / Chapter 51 - Nature Man

Chapter 51 - Nature Man

Heracles seems to have his composure back again.

Back to his pose and intimidating look!

Oumad comes near him.

And says.

"..I don't really think it's going to work on you but let's see."

Heracles does not reply.

Oumad reaches out to touch Heracles with his hand, then proceeds to teleport in time.

He does it repeatedly!!

Each time he teleports Heracles, he lets go of his hand that touches him.

This leaves Heracles alone in the chain of time, and since he doesn't have the ability to move in time.

He is crushed in there.

But Oumad does not let him get crushed like that for more than half a second.

Touches him again and brings him back.

Put that on repeat!

However, The others watching them do not see or feel this process.

Joshou comments. "What is he doing exactly?"

Heracles replies. "He's teleporting him in time.

It happens so fast that none of us can notice!"

Joshou. "Oh! I see."

Sebastin. "How will that help in moving the master?"

Herald. "We're not sure, but it can disturb his balance if he was to be transported there and back several times. He's just trying to make him dizzy."

Alkeyder. "..A smart idea indeed."

However, its exerting a lot of Oumad's energy as well. He got used to the feeling but it still makes him dizzy from time to time.

Heracles tells him. "It's an annoying feel I admit.

It's been quite some time since i was annoyed like today.."

Oumad. "..Well I appologise!

But This is the only way that I can use my powers in to try and move you."

Heracles. "Not bad at all, might work.

Now focus on doing that instead of speaking a lot"

This conversation is happening as they are teleporting back and fourth.

Oumad doesn't teleport them into a specefic time moment, he's only going between the time lines and back again. So they're not seeing any events.

That would tire him before it tires Heracles.

Oumad keeps on doing it..and it's clear he was getting tired from his face.

As joshou says. "..It's tiring him!"

Herald. "Yes.. Not just him but Heracles also.

You can see clearly that his stance isn't the exact same now. Probably he's not aware of it."

Alkeyder. "No he's aware, He let his body loosen up a bit so it doesn't get dizzy quickly."

Herald. "Is that so..."

Oumad is getting tired and tired..

Until he can no more do it,

He takes away the hand that is touching Heracles.

Then sits on the ground halting. He's the one left dizzy the most...

Heracles looks at him.

"You've failed the test.."

Oumad looks back and does not answer..

Heracles moves his feet to get closer to pick him up.

After doing so.

Oumad smiles.

"Sir...

You moved your feet!"

Heracles realizes.

"...So you're going to count that?"

Oumad. "I will..

I already am no match for you, one way or another I made you move."

Heracles smiles.

"..Fair enough!

Good job young man."

*Clapping sound*

It was Alkeyder who first started to clap.

"Magnificent!

I think no one is left disappointed from our first experience together

Right?

Give a round of applause to yourselves."

Love was the second one to clap, then Beazly, then Ayla, then Sebastin and everyone including Heracles.

Oumad and Heracles get back together this time.

Herald. "You did great brother."

Oumad. "You mean pathetic. Clearly my show was the least entertaining of all of us."

Herald. "Only because we can't see what you do. But I know how surreal teleporting in time is,

we did it that time.."

Herald is referring to when he asked Oumad to let him hear Leon's sound for a last time.

Joshou. "Your plan was smart!"

Oumad. "..Thank you, got a little help from Herald as well."

Alkeyder tells all. "We just finished in time.

It's 12pm! I think everyone is exhausted to some degree. It's also very sunny today!

Go take a break, shower yourself then we'll have our lunch together at arround 1pm!"

Sebastin. "Sounds good!"

Beazly. "Yeah, am really hungry for some reason."

Oumad. "So am I.."

The Atlanteans went on their way to the mansion.

And the three Masters were left to themselves.

Alkeyder.

"...I never felt this confused between being glad and worried."

Love is looking really sad though.

he asks her.

"Are you sad because of how his powers turned out to be?"

Love. "Yes...Never there has been a power like that!!

How is he supposed to fight for us now?? I don't care about that actually as much as about his safety!!!"

Alkeyder. "Get a hold of yourself Aciya!!

You're repeating the same mistake..."

Love stays silent.

He continues, but with a nicer tone.

"I get it.. And I am worried just as much!

But our training does not consist of only relying on one's special powers.

Beside, we'll figure out a way to remove that condition."

Heracles replies.

"Such conditions are unremovable Alkeyder.

We've all had to sacrifice something in order to get our powers."

Alkeyder. "...I meant reducing the sacrifice.

Anyways, Herald isn't the only concern.

I am glad we got Elara, but she's dangereous.."

Heracles. "..She's evil."

Alkeyder. "No, she was on the verge of being evil.

It's only normal actually given her situation.

She must have been corrupted by all sort of spirits. Even Marids!!"

Love. "Shut it up now, If anything she's destined to be on our side.

What's the point of saying this?

All what we have to do is cure her. Leave that to me!"

Alkeyder. "Yes, I don't doubt that.."

Heracles. "For the rest, they're all worthy..

I was impressed with their intellegence more than their powers.

Except for Beazly.

But he has the biggest room of improvement."

Alkeyder. "Yes, how did you find Ayla by the way?"

Heracles. "Oh yeah.. Aside from Elara and Herald, she got the most powerful ability."

Love looks towards Alkeyder and smiles..

"Aren't you happy about her?"

Alkeyder's facial expression changed, as if he was lost thinking about something.

"..What type of question is that?

let's go from here...

By the way,

you now know why i kept telling you that you need to complete your Zen state, Heracles."

"..So that i can lose half of my abilities..

Yeah right..."
