-effect 'eye for an eye' dissipating in 1 day- shit... this fight can't prolong any longer or else... from, we began using skill way beyond our capabilities. 5 hours, there's got to be a way to finish this now... "haahhh... haahhhh... you... can you still fight?" "hehe... I suppose we both lied about our time being an anomaly?.." "haha... I suppose, well what about going all out now?" this is the only way to finish this, my last trump card. "I assume that you're hiding something too right?" "yeah..." this... will break the world... "skeletons rise! buy me some time!" well I can't assume that while I'll chant this long spell he won't attack me "Isabelle! now!" thank god she's here now... considering the time she had watching this then I can safely assume that she has learned some of the spells I keep yelling. as I said that, thunderstorm, earthquake started disrupting the place "!!-you had someone with you!?" "hehe sorry mate, but in terms of experience I'm way beyond you, Isabelle! here!" hahh... safe haven!.. I feel sorry for Isabelle for letting her fight this early, about only 1 year of experience... "Nick! What do I do?!" "don't ask me! just fight! give me some time, when I signal you with something then get out the premises!" this spell will absolutely destroy the earth and this planet so I have to be careful -initiating blood mist, starting 'world of chaos'-.
God damn it! Nick I hope you have a plan! "so you're his ally? considering you're clothing I doubt you're experienced" thanks to the system I know how to use the skills Nick has used, although I don't know if I can continuously buy time"!! what th-" a punch in the stomach... that... hurts... "hahaha... you're easy, now tell me where your ally is and I'll let you live" "hah! you think I'll tell?" "hm... wrong answer!" sorry Nick... seems lik- "GAHH!!!" !? "Damnit! didn't know you had that kind of equipment" my clothes... they're... melting... "seems like I can't kill you for now but first I'll experiment on you, how strong is the liquid armor?" liquid armor? wait... experiment on me!? "Don't run away from me you fool!?" no... my clothes are... coming back?" -alert: liquid armor has regained durability, counter attack acid spray available- so that's the attack that hit him... -Alert message from Astra has been received- !!! time to move!
what's this red fog? -Isabelle, can you hear me?- !! Nick? -sorry no time to explain! Move!!-
-blood mist activated, blood mist now envelops every area except inside the cave, initiating eye for an eye; skill activated, meteor shower, hell fall. summoned entity; skeleton sniper, dark mage, eater of worlds- hahh... this took a lot of ether... I'll sit still while this whole thing unpacks itself...
"Nick!? what's all of this? what happened to the sky!?" "ahh catastrophe has struck, only places with blood mist will be affected so we're safe" "is that so..." this is the first time I have depleted most of my ether, looks like I won't be fighting for 50 days "Isabelle... I'll give you a list to do, I'll send it via the system but for now, I'll take a rest..." "WAIT! what if the one you were fighting is still alive?" "doubt it, the skeleton sniper tracks everything while hidden, the dark mage can silently kill him with the help of the skeleton while the eater of worlds is a cherry on top if he somehow managed to kill the 2 I doubt he can kill the god of death's pet" "I still have some questions!" "Don't worry, I won't leave, I'll just take a good one week rest and I'll come back like usual, it's been a long time since I was this serious anyway" long time since he was serious?
that man... he was... "you thinking about that man? the anomaly? best to forget about him... we'll check this area once the effect disappears" "the effect?" "eye for an eye, kind of a weak skill if you're fighting in a group, this buff only activates one's you enter in combat state, it's mainly a one-sided skill that if you die they go along with it or if he dies you take a severe punishment in return, main reason why I need a rest right now, thankfully he lied about his experience in combat or the effect would've been severe..." a one-sided skill, "wait, you said that you won't be coming back for 50 days!" ugu... "what's the head chop for?" "you're deaf, I said I won't fight for 50 days, only my ether will fully recover by then but I can still move..." "well... I'm just glad that you're fine, or I would be running around like a headless chicken"
----------------------
there's still something... the effect; eye for an eye might've been weak but if he somehow lived all through that then worst-case scenario, the world's destroyed from the beginning, I might ask a few for assistance from the community... Isabelle... I'm surprised how calm everything is to you... "what? something wrong with my face?" "haha no... just thinking how good of a couple you and Naoya will be if you keep up with him" "..." silent treatment it is... Kirin... I hope you're spirit still lives on... oh wait! system, where is Kirin's spirit right now? -answer: he now travels by your side- wait what!? "Kirin?" ... nothing... what if... the dreamscape! "Nick? something wrong?" uhh... "no! no! nothing wrong! well, really I'm just glad Luna can see him again" "Luna?" "ahhh right you don't know her... well we don't need useless info anyway" "... sometimes you really are the most random person I know "thanks for the compliment! I'm practicing this kind so I'm glad that my randomness is getting to someone" "that wasn't a compliment" "hahaha... well I'm just glad you can talk to me properly now" she changed quite quickly too, glad to be of use to her in a charismatic way.
a week has passed and I was able to see Kirin in the dreamscape... somehow... well I'm just glad that he has immortality granted by the goddesses of this world or he would've been dead for sure. anyway from Kirin's info he was revived 4 years or 5 years apart, or maybe 10 he wasn't sure but if he can he will resurrect in a few months. Luna locked herself in the land of dragons so I couldn't go near and tell the news but atleast she'll be surprised. Isabelle began hunting with Naoya and she's currently improving under my guidance, I just hope she won't disobey some of my rules. from everything that happened the only bad thing is one, he still lives... I was wondering why the effect was minuscule... and from the skeleton sniper's reaction, it seems like he escaped via switching worlds... I hope he won't come back since I can't fight properly right now... and I exposed my abilities so he'll know my skills and how to counter them. "Master! what's my goal for today?" "hmm... just think of something with Isabelle, since two are practically on par with each other" he nods and goes back to his usual, I don't know what to train him on since he's practically a legend, a hero here in this world, and if he wants to improve here then he'll wait a decade for the mana to implode on an area with no disturbances from the winged beast... hey system, can I bring two people to another world? wait... I can't or he'll be an anomaly... -alert: the individual; Isabelle can transport to world with her own, Naoya can be transported with Isabelle without any disturbances or effects, he'll be a kin of an otherworlder not an anomaly- wait... that's possible? hahh... I'm wasting my time here... since Isabelle will be with me I can transport them with my knowledge "Hey! Naoya! mind calling Isabelle for a minute, you come too of course" "aye" oh wait, system, can Isabelle transport three people? -answer: yes, her Ether amount will be 1/3 if successful- the scary part is that if it is successful well, no choice I guess... well really there is another choice but I hate being patient for 10 years and considering the threat that could happen throughout the world, but well... just in case, system mind set an alert if an anomaly enters the world I'm currently in -alert made, thank you for using the alert system- ... I got to change that... it feels... weird... "Nick, you called?" "ahh just in time, mind handing me you're system?" "how?" "just say system, give to Nick Astra" "a-alright... System Give to Nick Astra" -system has been granted to Individual Nick Astra- "you know... best to be careful of giving your system to someone, they could interfere with you in any way for the rest of your life" "well... I trust you" "hmm... you trust me? well... what about this, Naoya, look at Isabelle for a minute." "uhh... yes" time to be a jerk, System show current clothing -clothing stats has been shown- hehehe... remove, underwear, top. -cannot remove underwear top, privilege has been set by individual Meiya- huh... well what about this, turn underwear top transparent -accessible, changing property of underwear top- hahaha!!! this is your fault for wearing practically nothing! "!!!" Naoya's blushing way too hard... "something in my face?" "n-no... it's..." "???" hahaha... god please notice... well why don't we go in deeper? -alert: system malfunction- wait what!? "Nick? what's wrong?" "haahh... system, fix individual Isabelle's system. -attempting repair- "hmm?? what's wrong?" "ahh yeah..." yeah... "system how much time until the system is fixed? -5 minutes- "hahhh... at least you won't walk around half-naked "half-naked?" oh... right... "KYAAAAA!!!" system! teleport me to waterfalls near here! -teleporting... failed to teleport, reason: no Ether in store- shit...
"I hope you learned your lesson!" "yes~~" that hurt... "Naoya, you can come back, she's fully clothed again" well most of it was my fault anyway... anyway "system, sync with individual Isabelle's system." -attempting... sync successful- nice... now... "Isabelle say 'transport party, Nick Astra, Naoya Ironhart, and Isabelle Civia to world Ilatra Casanova, position x -6000 y-1290 z -3939" "...ugh... it's too long..." hahh... well luckily I have a note here, here" "uhh yeah..." "Transport party, Nick Astra, Naoya Ironhart, Isabelle Civia to world Ilatra Casonova-" -teleporting from Laplace to Ilatra Casanova, position availabe?" "yes, x 6000 y1290 z3939" confirmation from teleporter host Isabelle, do you approve? "y-yes!" "confirmation received, attempting to transport party- "Nick! what's going on?" "that'll be your first time and Naoya's first time being transported while conscious." light particles began spawning and suddenly a flash of light enveloped the three of us... well they don't have that much reaction time but we instantly got to the place! "Kirin... where is this place?" I sniff the whole atmosphere... "haahhh... boy it's good to be back to this world, anyway welcome to Ilatra! where monsters and communities of anomalies gather!" singing can be heard from the distance, planes and jets can be seen from the dark sky "master, what is this place?" "didn't I just say? well, let's go to my place. I want you guys to meet my peeps. also, you might be a bit alarmed Isabelle but it's safe here, the goddesses reign in this place, she can be seen walking here from time to time, plus other worlders can also be seen here but they're fated to be anomalies once they finish up in this place. now Naoya, this might be my final training for you, you come with Naoya too Isabelle, just relax and fight in your heart's content, this place is meant to be an RPG setting so cash and experience are what drives this place. but first welcome to my casa" boy does it feel great to be back! "this..." "Nick! Welcome back! haven't seen you in like centuries!" "haha Noel! how's the travel coming along? also who's the two in the back?" "ahh right completely forgot about you two. Isabelle, meet Noel Maya, he's an anomaly like me, his current abilities are vocal manipulation and vocal take, he's currently a rockstar here in Ilatra, he's not a fighter" "hahaha... well if you say it like that then it would seem like incapable of fighting" "hahaha, well you aren't skilled let alone being experienced in fighting for 397 years. now Isabelle here is also an anomaly, she has practically the same skills as me from the beginning while the other one is Naoya" "nice to meet you two, do you two know how to play instruments?" they're confused face is hilarious "Noel, they didn't live in a world like that so don't ask, also I need a rest, I fought a chaotic anomaly a week from" "wow well don't let me disturb you" "also I'll give you this two, the boy there is capable of fighting while the other one is still training see ya!" "wai-" nope not listening.
haahh... my room, does it feel great to be back, gotta say though, thanks to Kirin Sakuraba's research multidimensional transport has never been so easy.
back to my room, and back to rest, hopefully those two are fine for about... 3 months?
