Chapter 276 - Chapter 276 Ruby, Another Dimensional Being?

As a woman stepped out of a portal she cracked her neck and said "Traveling undetected is more of a pain then I'd thought." The woman smiled and said "Whatever, I'll do whatever I have to in order to return the pinnacle to its rightful place." As the woman marched towards the town our view switched back to Thomas who sneezed while resting at the inn and mumbled "Am I coming down with something?" Lily stared at him and said "You'd better hope not, your eyes just went back to normal after all." Thomas glanced at her and said "I still feel like I can use magic, so I don't think it's anything but an ordinary sneeze." Lily stared at him and said "Now that I think about it, what have you even been doing?" Thomas shrugged and said "Just the usual stuff."

Lily stared at him and said "You've been taking it easy, haven't you?" Lily sighed and said "Seriously, the rest of us have learnt new spells and have been working hard day in and day out, why don't you try and do something productive?" As Lily said this Thomas tapped his shirt and said "I am, I'm practicing to manipulate my mana to the point where the bed and ground beneath doesn't crack every time I walk due to this shirt and pants." Lily stared at him and said "But couldn't you naturally do that?" Thomas glanced away and said "It's harder to do with more weight." Lily glanced at him for a few seconds and said "That sounds like an excuse." Thomas stood up and said "Look at the time, I should be going to the guild right about now."

Lily glared at him and said "Don't think I don't know about you sleeping down at the guild." Thomas flinched and said "I'm not going there to sleep, I'm going to, um, do guild things?" Lily sighed and said "Yeah right, your such a lier." As he walked to the door he said "Fine, I'll do something productive." As he reached for the door Lily shouted "Get down!" As the door was kicked down Thomas was sent flying with the door through the wall. The woman glanced at Lily and said "Your not the pinnacle." The woman stared at her for a moment and said "No wait, perhaps he changed his form in order to not be recognized like I have." The woman stared at Lily and said "Perhaps if I reveal my real form he'll reveal his?"

The woman took a step back and said "I'll revert my form for you, hiding it would be a disgrace to the pinnacle." The woman was surrounded with a mist and soon after her form shrank by a few inches and she grew wings. Once the mist was gone you could see that her clothes and wings followed the color scheme of red and black. The woman stood there with black hair covering one of her eyes as she said "This is my true form, perhaps you know now?" Lily stared at her and then glanced at the hole in the wall and shouted "Did you kill him?" Thomas appeared in front of the hole and mumbled "My head." The woman glanced at him and said "So it wasn't this girl." The woman bowed before him and said "Mr. pinnacle, it's nice to meet you once again."

Thomas stared at her for a few seconds and asked "Have we met before?" The woman glanced at him and said "Of course we have, it's me, Ruby." Thomas stared at her for a few more seconds and said "Sorry, doesn't ring a bell." Ruby stood up and walked towards him as she said "You couldn't possibly forget me, I was just like your right hand, I was there for you constantly." Thomas thought for a few seconds and said "I don't recall ever seeing you, maybe it's because of my amnesia." Ruby grabbed his face and said "If you activated amnesia on yourself then we won't be able to undo it, was it caused naturally?" Thomas stood there confused and asked "What?"

Ruby let go of him and said "The amnesia could've occurred if you rewrote the entire universe, all of reality, or maybe you bumped into reality at full speed." Ruby glanced at him and asked "Did you alter time in any major way, maybe it involved the fabric of reality?" Thomas stood there and said "Alter time?" Ruby nodded and said "Yes, altering time on a scale that could've destroyed everything usually leaves your mind as mush, did you do that, or was this you doing it naturally to yourself?" Ruby aimed her hand at him and said "These questions are pointless, I'll get more answers like this." Ruby stared at her hand and mumbled "I won't be able to help him remember anything, this is his own doing, of course it would either be his own doing or natural though."

Lily stared at Ruby and asked "Does that mean someone might've caused his amnesia?" Ruby glanced at her and said "That's not possible, only he can make himself forget things, wether it be purposely or by accident, even the strongest creature in any known existence is unable to affect him unless he's like this." Ruby picked him up and said "Your coming with me for a while, I'll need to toughen you up in order to make sure you survive." As she walked off with Thomas over her shoulder Hr mumbled "Wait, what's going on?" As they both vanished Lily stared at them and asked "What just happened?" Lily glanced around and asked "And why did they leave me with the broken room?"

As Thomas and Ruby arrived in a dark room Ruby tossed him to the ground and said "Your unable to die here, now get up and come at me with everything you've got, by just fighting me for a few hours and receiving injuries your skin can become tougher then anything." Thomas glanced around the room and said "I'd rather not." Ruby swung her hand once and said "Fine then, I shall make the first move." Thomas stood there and asked "Did you do something?" As his head slid off his shoulders she said "Don't just stare from down there, pick up your head and reattach it, aligning it should reattach it, especially since the regeneration in this area is top notch."

Thomas picked his own head up and said "Some warning would've been nice." As he placed his head back on he tilted his head back and forth and said "That hurts like hell you know." Ruby stood there and said "Then I'd recommend preparing yourself, because I'm prepared to cut you into thousands of pieces again and again." Thomas stood there and said "Fine, I'll get ready for a fight." As he took a stance he smiled and said "Alright, com-" but before he could finish the bottom of his jaw was ripped of and now in the hands of Ruby. Thomas's tongue just hung there as he attempted to ask "Was that really necessary?" Ruby tossed his jaw on the floor in front of him and said "No talking, only fighting."

Thomas picked his jaw back up and rewatched it as he said "Fine, no more talking then." Thomas dashed towards her and said "My attacks are gonna be pretty useless you know." Ruby swung her hand and said "I'm well aware, but this will help me gauge your current power, and right now, it isn't looking too well." Thomas stopped moving and looked at his body and asked "Did you miss?" As he glanced back up he seen her smiling as she said "No, I just decided that working on your ability to withstand fire first might be easier." As he caught fire he began to shake around while shouting "Holy shit this is hot, and man am I glad I wasn't wearing my jacket!" Ruby stared at him and said "This fire will go out once I'm satisfied with the progress you've made, now prepare yourself for the most grueling training you can imagine."

Thomas's flesh began to turn into a charred black as he said "Fine then, bring it on." Ruby smiled and said "Your eyes should've melted out of their sockets, could it be you've already withstood fire before?" Ruby took a step towards him and said "Then let's turn up the heat." As the fire grew bigger Thomas collapsed to the ground and mumbled "This heat, it's gonna turn me to ash." Ruby stared at him and asked "Are you really the pinnacle?" As Thomas stood up without eyes in his head he shouted "I don't know who this pinnacle is, but if the fire is this hot, then I'll just become hotter then the fire!" As the fire on his arms grew even larger then the fire surrounding him Ruby smiled and said "Maybe I should turn the heat up more, for our pinnacle."
