" Sheesh .... did I kill him? " Rangga says as he takes a look at Jack.
At that time, Jack was brutally fainted as he can't even move a bit of his finger. Seeing that Rangga then thought to himself if he should heal him, as he began to think. As Rangga thought to himself, it can be seen by us that Jack already entered his unconscious realm.
"( How ..... )" Jack said in his subconsciousness as he recounted the humiliation that just happened to him.
"( How did I even end up like this .... ?? )" Jack asks himself.
"( Dammit I was ... so close ... )" Jack says as suddenly a memory stuck to his mind revealing a monitor of memories that show him something.
"[ Can you even take him down ... ?? ]" said Jack as suddenly a memory of a woman comes to Jack as she discussed Jack's leaving.
"[ A Tier II loser, huh .... ] " Jack said to her as he reads the bounty information.
"[ Well .... it's gonna be an easy peasy lemon squeezy job ... ]" Jack said as he sees the Bounty Price that was 7.000.000.000 Credits.
[ Since....what can a Tier II Super Power person can do to a Tier IV pro like me..!!? ]" Jack said as he accepts his mission.
( Many Hours later ... )
" Grrraahhh ..... what the ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???? " Jack said as he was knocked down easily.
"( How can this be .... ?? )" Jack then said as he felt weakened after experiencing the Tier II target's ability.
[ Meta Ability: Fire Ball ]
[ Power Tier: II ]
" AHHAHAHAHAHAHA ... how does my fire feel huh ... Mr. Tier IV .. ??? " the target said as he summon his fire.
As he did that, Jack use his cyclone power to calm the flaming red down but..., " What the .... ?? ..... !!!"
" The fire didn't extinguish !!!!!!!!!!!!! " Jack said as he tries to use his cyclone ability to extinguish the blazing fire.
Seeing that the target laughs, " AHAHAHAHAHA .... You idiot, .... of course, the fire can not be extinguished .... "
" ... Even with the power of the wind and water, my fire won't extinguish since my fire is not a normal fire anymore ... " he says.
" GGGRRRAAHHHH .... GGRRRRAAAHHHH !!!!!!!!! " Jack shouts as he can't stand the blazing fire that covers his body.
" You bastard .... !!! " he says.
" How did you even ... attain such ..... power? " Jack then asks as he tries to understand what kind of ability did he face right now.
Hearing that, the target answers that his power is nothing special, just a Low-Tier II ability that can only create fireballs that can burn his enemies. Not only just that, the target even reveals that he only unlock this meta ability just a week ago.
" You're lying !!!!!!! " Jack shouts .... as the fire began to swallow him.
" You must be using that kind of *Drug right ... ?? "
" The one that you Low-Tiers use illegally to increase your power !!!!! " Jack asks as he thinks his target was using that drug to face him.
As the question was spoken, the Target laughs as he bluntly denies Jack's statement and reveals to Jack that he didn't even drink such a thing or know what it is.
" No, you must be ... !!!! " Jack states as conclude all of his analysis to the target.
But the target denies it and told him the drugs had to do nothing to help him increase his power, ..... It was thanks to Magic.
" Ma ... gic ... ?? " Jack asks as the fire began to spread further.
" Yes, my Tier IV friend, the power that in the past was used by the human society before the emergence of the Metas." The target explains.
" This kind of ancient power was indeed powerful it is, even the Top Tier Metas had a hard time handling such an ability." the target says as he explains that he already killed some of the renowned High-Tier Heroes and Villains with the help of magic power.
Jack hears that as Target practices one of his recently learned magic to him, first he spawns his fireball and then he recite a spell, and whoosh...
" < Ignia Flaria Pyronia > " the target recited, as the little fireball then transforms into a gigantic mountain ball of flames that could easily obliterate any obstacle within its range.
" Hahahahaha .... See what I mean Mr. Great Assassin !!!!! " the target says.
"( Impossible, ... how can that be .... ??? )" Jack said as he flees from the scene going to the nearest water possible to free himself from the fire's wrath.
"( I must flee from this place, ... !!!! )"
"( If that thing hit me, .... I'll be done in the seconds for good .. !!!! )" Jack said as he splash himself into the water and fleed from the scene.
As he flees, the target then shouts as he didn't say that Jack could leave, and then he blasted the gigantic fireball in Jack's direction.
" Eat up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " the target says as he throws the gigantic ball of flames to the Lake that Jack swims at.
"( OH MY GOD ... NOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )" As that Flaming Giant Ball landed on the lake, it instantly burns until all of the lake's water evaporates.
( After that. )
" *Gasp !!!!!!! "
Jack suddenly awakens from his slumber, Jack sees that he is in a medical room as his wounds were treated by the medical robots. In a few minutes, a voice can be heard from outside as the voice approach Jack's treatment room.
"( It's him huh .... !!!!! )" said Jack as he recognize the person's voice as the person comes in.
" Jack ... are you alright !!!!!!!!!!!!!?? " said Energero as he chargers in.
As Energero said that, Jack then nods as he suddenly kinda feels better due to the good treatment and answers Energero since Energero opens the discussion regarding Jack's defeat.
" So ... this person who defeat you .... "
" Is .... a Tier II weakling ..... "
" ... who buffed his ability using .... "
" Magic ... !!!! " Jack says as he remembers what that guy says.
Energero then went silent and then says that " What the hell .... ???? "
" Are you even serious? did your hear catch the spoken word right ?? " Energero asks in disbelief.
" Do I look like I'm making a joke ... right now !!!! ?? " Jack answers.
Energero then sighs as he then explains that such a thing it's impossible since the use of magic by a human is now illegal and extinct due to the event many years ago.
" Oh yes, I know about that, ... " Jack answers as he remembers that fact.
" The use of magic by humans is now forbidden, thanks to the *Diviners decree that only they can use the power of .... what is the source of magic again sir ... ?? " he asked.
" Mana ..... " Energero answers.
" A source of natural power that exists within our world, this powerful force is manifested into Manacules (Mana Molecules) which can fuel a person's power energy to provide them an activation of various magic spells to some extent. "
" Also, ... with that source of power ... it is said that in the past, with the help of Magic, humans can even bend nature itself and attain powers beyond the modern people's understanding. "
" A power beyond other races ..... an incomparable power that could make even us ... the modern era people .... Metahumans .... looked like an insect in from of them. " as Energero explains.
It is true ..., Many years ago there are subspecies of humans that have the ability to absorb the Mana of nature which provides them the magic ability. These humans are called Manahumans, these kinds of humans are what the other races say to be the most powerful humanity's subspecies that ever existed in the universe.
Since these subspecies can easily bend nature, create extraordinary illusions, break the concepts of science and even defeat their human body limits with just words and thought.
" They're so powerful huh ... " Jack said as he remembers his defeat.
" Of course .... my dear Villain, since they are so powerful even the great Diviners and *Deviants began to be afraid of their existence. " Energero states as he remembers the detailed information about that subject.
After Energero says that, Jack then went silent as he didn't what to ask.
"( Dammit such things like that also exist in the earth huh !!! )"
"( No wonder the Diviners & Deviants decided to make them extinct in the first place. )"
"( ... And they can also even bend nature, that kind power is so close to the Level of Tier V Metas .... and one could say even matches the power of those Diviners and Deviants itself .. )"
"( ... In conclusion, the existence of these 'Manahumans' is very illogical and very unscientific .. in the name of the modern society and the very science itself ... those kinds of people cannot and should not exist again in the world. )" Jack thought in his mind as suddenly he wakes up from his dream.
"( I'm still alive. )" Jack says as he tries to move.
After he awakens, he then sees Rangga who was practicing his Creation skills, creating golems from the Materials he prepared from the Previous Floors. As Jack sees that he then felt rage in his mind.
"( I see now .... !!!! )"
"( So that's how you defeat me ..... )"
"( Those unscientific things that you do, the rulebreaking power you have ... )" Jack said as he now understands the source of Rangga's strength.
"( It's because of Magic isn't it !!!!!!!!!!!!! )" Jack says in his mind as suddenly his body emits a ravenous aura.
