*Crash!*
Ray fell to the ground loudly, cracking the floor with just his sheer weight.
Dust flew into the air, and Ray held himself up, making sure he wouldn't fall over by just the effects of the wind. He dusted the dirt off his clothes and tried his best not to curse out in every language he knew.
(Ps, this is just a bluff. He only knows how to speak English.)
"Nani!!!"
Ray exclaimed out and suddenly remembered he was trying to escape from the weird voice in the shadows.
"Hold up, young man. Were you not looking for me?"
The voice spoke again but in a more grandfatherly tone.
"Why would I be looking for you..."
Ray trailed off mid-sentence realizing the person he was meant to be looking for was the old guy in the shadows.
"That's right. I am the one who lives on Nomad Street, the aimless drifter of the cultivation world, the Sky Hermit, the Almighty Nomad!"
At the last words of his uhh... introduction, the Almighty Nomad fellow yelled loudly, and that somehow summoned a tornado in the sky.
After spinning for a couple of cycles, the tornado dispersed and revealed the cause.
An old man wearing traditional Chinese robes stood in the air, literally. He held a horse whisk and laughed boisterously.
Ray's eyes were a little blank with shock. Was it really possible for a normal human to stand in the air.
He almost asked that question out loud but his more sarcastic side stopped him with a similar question.
'Can a normal human shoot nuclear weapons out of his palms?'
'Sometimes it's really good to insult yourself, who knows what challenges you'll face that require you to shut the hell up.'
"Uhh, do I have to do that weird introduction thing you just did?"
Almighty Nomad laughed boisterously again and waved it off.
"Sure, sure."
Ray took in a deep breath before he started.
"I am the one from the village hidden in nuclear warfare, the All-powerful Machine Lord, the one and only God Heat-seeker, they refer to me as the man hidden in the stars, keeper of all arcana; Magic Lord!"
Ray couldn't help but feel embarrassed and cool at the same time. Sure his lines sounded cool and comedic, it was weird to say that in a Jojo pose with your finger pointing at the enemy, and this was also what he was doing right then.
It just didn't feel like something a normal human would say or do.
'Chuunis would do it and might I remind you, you're not normal!'
His inner voice smh'ed and wished it was the one in control of the body.
"Wait do it again, I haven't started streaming yet!"
Almighty Nomad yelled out, exasperatedly and to Ray's surprise brought out the latest Youphone 27. Ray had read his fair share of cultivation novels and was certain this wasn't the plotline.
"Okay, I've started, you can do it again!"
Ray didn't know what really compelled him to say any of those things, but seeing Almighty Nomad stream on the popular streaming platform, Spasm, Ray's acting talent came on.
"Prepare for trouble, mon amis, Look who it is, a tease! I who is from the village hidden in junk food and nuclear warfare, the All-powerful Machine Lord, the one and only God Heat Seeker. They refer to me by many names; the man hidden in the stars, the keeper of all arcana, Magic Lord! I alone challenge you to a duel!"
Like a first-time actor done with shooting, Ray sighed in relief.
"Was that ok? Do they understand English"
He whispered from the corner of his mouth to Almighty Nomad, suddenly remembering the language thing.
The Almighty Nomad furrowed his brows and laughed loudly at Ray's Naivety.
"Who doesn't understand English nowadays?!"
"KAKAKAKA!"
Almighty Monarch stopped his laughter and walked over to the roof of a building and dropped the phone there.
"Can you all see me from this distance?"
Almighty Nomad moved back a little and spoke to his fans all over the world.
No sooner than he asked, the chat responded faster than the human mind could even imagine.
{Nah, if you guys fight, we won't be able to see anything at all:doggo:}
{All I can think of now was that cute introduction}
{The only thing I can see is upstairs ding dong in my mouth}
{I'm a girl:disturbed:}
{So you're a Futa? That's even better!}
By this time Ray had already moved closer to the camera and saw the messages sent in by the second, and his lips dried speechlessly.
'WTF?'
Instead of saying it out loud, Ray opted for another option.
"Why don't I link your phone's camera with one of my drones?"
While he was saying that, Ray found that Almighty Noma rudely pointed the camera at his face.
"Sure, show me how you do it."
Almighty Nomad finally thought to respect his private space and stepped back a bit.
He brought out a normal scout drone from his inventory, shocking Almighty Nomad a bit.
"Technological Magic- Nanosensors activation!"
Several minuscule nanobots flew out of his palms and tucked themselves perfectly on the drone and phone.
"So what now?"
The old man asked curiously from the side, still holding his phone camera towards Ray.
"Activate drone!"
Ray smiles calmly, smirking a little at the corner of his lips.
The spherical shaped drone whirred mechanically and flew out of his hand into the air.
"Ok, you can keep your phone now."
At first, Almighty Nomad was a little reluctant but still did it at the end of the day.
Ray kept the drone on auto-pilot and facial homing, so he wouldn't have to go through the stress of controlling it in the middle of a fight,
The drone hovered above their heads and buzzed like a small housefly.
"And as a bonus feature, I used the holographic feature to project the chat screen into the air."
There it was, the chat, projected into the air. It would be a lie if one did not admit this was amazing.
"Alright, let's start this fight, Mr Magic Lord!"
