Chapter 18 - No more secrets (Part 1)

Two days had past since the battle against Mia and Serena had not woken up since then. Dante was lucky that she survived long enough for him to recover his Nano Lites. Immediately after he did he used his skill 'Healing touch' to heal her injury, however for some reason unknown to him she did not wake up. This left him with a lot of time to himself. He remembered during that time that Mia had taken his Density gauntlet so he acquired the items required to make it once again. He had kept these items in his Void vault as well as other items such as the crystal skin from the worm and the broken mask Mia left behind.

At the current moment, Dante was in the cave with Serena. He had no one to talk to for those two days so he developed a strange habit of conversating with the system in his head, however this was not actually a bad thing, it was just a weird thing to do.

"Hey, is it possible that the Anti-Fracture sword has a guide on how to use it", Dante asked.

[Why do you ask when you could just create one?]

On hearing the system answer his question with a question. He couldn't help but think about something else.

"Wait is that is even possible? Then can I create something to help me with my fighting problems?"

[Yes it is. Don't forget your abilities hardly have a limit, you should use that to your advantage]

"Why is it that anytime I talk to you it's like I am talking to a human being?", He asked full of curiosity.

[Maybe it is because you haven't talked to many people since you came to Earth. The only two people you met was Serena and a psycho who was willing to kill you before later on deciding to take you to her leader]

On hearing this Dante laughed before responding once again.

"So you can be funny too. Well I guess you are right."

[This should be an item that suits what you want]

[Combat crown]

[A crown that allows one to learn any fighting style just by contact with someone who has knowledge of them]

[Metal + Nano crystal shard + Knowledge of person with fighting experience]

[Nano Lites required: 40]

"Hmm, is there a better version of this?", Dante asked still looking for something of greater potential.

[Master crown]

[A crown that gives user the knowledge of all fighting styles in planet]

[Combat crown + Combat crown]

[Nano Lites required: User must have a total of 100 Nano Lites to create]

"I guess that is impossible right now, isn't it?", He said with a hint of discouragement.

This just meant that he had a long way to go before he truly became powerful as he wanted. He didn't want to be protected by Serena anymore, he wanted to be able to fight for himself and defend her if needed.

"Argh!", Serena said from the side. She had finally woken up from her long nap.

Dante could not help but smile when he realized this. Running to her side he asked the reasonable question which was not so reasonable at the moment.

"Are you okay?"

"What do you think?", Serena said stretching out. At the moment she felt nothing but soreness all over her body. After a few seconds of this she stopped, opening her eyes with disbelief which confused Dante who was watching. Though everything became clear when she finally spoke.

"How am I alive? My injury was so severe I was sure I was going to die."

Serena only freaked out more when she checked for the wound on her body. The injury was nowhere to be found talk less of a scar that was left in its place, even her jumpsuit had been fixed.

"How long was I out?", She asked Dante to which he answered.

"It has been two days since your fight with Mia."

"This doesn't make any sense", Serena said upon hearing this.

Dante looked at her gathering the strength to tell her everything, however he had no idea how this was going to play out. After awhile of panicking, she noticed the serious look on Dante's face. This only meant that he had something in mind that he was wondering if to share or not.

"What is the problem?", Serena asked slightly calm now.

"Do you remember what Mia had said about us?", Dante asked Serena while looking at her with a rather serious look.

She nodded indicating that she did in fact remember. Mia had said something about two of them hiding secrets from one another and that was not what friends do.

"I will tell you about everything that I have kept a secret until now but you will have to do the same. I want us to really be friends and not two strangers trying to survive in this world. Deal."

Serena hesitated for awhile before eventually nodding. Upon seeing this, Dante revealed everything to her not leaving out a single detail. After he was done telling her everything Serena looked at him rather confused.

"So you are telling me you can dismantle and assemble things because of a system in your head and that is also how you got that sword which is specifically for killing Fractures. Your also saying the thing that almost crushed me when I was fighting Mia was a gaunlet you created. Yeah, I ain't buying that."

Dante on seeing this sighed before opening up the Void vault right in front of Serena. She freaked out when she saw some kind of black hole floating in the air, however she freaked out more when she saw him remove several things from it.

Dante picked up a metal ball and Nano crystal shard before putting them together. The air around his hands combusted releasing sparks of red energy in the process. Afterwards, Dante had succeeded in creating another Density gauntlet which caused Serena to open her eyes in disbelief.

Once again he picked up another metal ball and Nano crystal shard but this time he put his right hand in the Void vault absorbing the 40 points stored there. He touched Serena's arm with a look of concentration on his face, of course she felt weird about this but she wanted to see where the whole thing was going. Nano Lites emitted from Serena's body entering into the metal and crystal in his hand. Eventually they formed into a silver colored crown with only one pointed side. Seeing all of these things unfold before her eyes, she had no choice but to believe everything that Dante had said.
