"It's almost night time and we have barely made it anywhere!" Alexia says.
but I have a knot in my stomach and my nerves are through the roof. I can hear a low growl coming from every direction, but Alexia seems unnerved. I probably should say something to her.
"Uhh, Alexia... should I be hearing growling noises right now.."
A giant monster the size of a tree leaps out in front of us; it looks like a dinosaur mixed with a elephant and it is huge; it makes the two of them look like ants in comparison.
I let out a terrified scream and for some reason I can't help but roll into a ball on the ground "What the hell is THAT?!?" I yell to Alexia, but I don't see her anywhere.
An electrical crackling sound from above catches my attention, I snap my gaze upwards to see what the commotion is; I can see Alexia in the air and she is charged with electricity.
"Advanced Magic Attack: Lightning Queen!" The electricity blinds me as Alexia nosedives into the monster.
She rips it's arm clean off and she lands gracefully behind the monster. The creature is convulsing uncontrollably from millions of volts of electricity.
"This special ability allows me to move a hundred times faster than lightning, and generate 3 billion volts! ..... but it also makes me really tired... uh oh..." Alexia collapses onto the forest floor, completely immobile.
"Holy crap, What an attack!" I exclaim.
'I can't just stand here, she needs my help! but what do I do?' . I look around for a moment but all I only see trees, and the beast is still being electrocuted. "I have an idea! Guide.. are you there?"
[Yes...]
[What do you need? *beep*]
"Can I copy Alexia's magical attack?"
[No.... *boop* ]
"What the hell? why not?"
[...You need to see the entire attack to copy it....]
"Activate guide"
[Guide Activated]
[....Loading magical library....]
[*Beep* .... --- Spreye Bear Rank 3 : A Vicious creature, rarely seen below the mountains. If possible run.... if you see a Spreye below the mountains, it is likely they are extremely Ravenous]
*Gulp* My whole body tenses and I begin sweating. I gasp for breath but it's too shallow.
"Any ideas? Running sounds great...yeah, just fantastic...*sigh*"
[May I suggest using Ultimate Seal Incantation: Soul Shed]
"Okay now that... sounds amazing" I actually have no idea what guide is talking about, but if it will keep me from dying... what the hell why not. "But what is it?"
[Ultimate Seal Incantation: Soul Shield... A powerful incantation that was created by Dark lord Margaroth during the warring states period]
[It is said that it sacrifices souls to become food for Margaroth in the afterlife]
[....When used on monsters that are rank 3 and above there is a 5% chance of success...]
"and is better than running.....how?"
[Running has a chance of....(Calculating) ... 0.005% chance of success...]
"oh..great" *sigh* "Fine, let's do it"
[Guide Deactivated]
The Spreye isn't stunned anymore and I think it think it wants to eat me, but... I'm not afraid anymore because I have a way to win now.
"It's just like a roleplaying game, except I don't have to roll to move.." I'll try Invisibility first, maybe it won't sense where I am.
My fingers begin to move on their own again and a rune appears on the back of my hand, suddenly my entire arm vanishes before my eyes!
"It worked!" , I snicker to myself as the Spreye frantically downs nearby trees in a rampage.
Wait! Alexia might get caught in the crossfire...
I summon a large fireball incantation and blast the monster directly in the eyes. My body suddenly jolts to the right on its own , my arm begins to reach for the sky.
"Guide what are you doing!"
[Watch]
[Hidden Incantation: Roaring Water]
'What the...' I slowly turn my gaze to look at the sky , only to see a gigantic rain cloud hovering above me.
A cascade of water explodes from within, careening directly towards the Spreye!
Boom! the Spreye is blasted into the air and spun around above the trees by the sheer force of the attack.
"What the hell am I..."
As I finish my sentence the Spreye crashes in front of me. I can hear the snapping of bones breaking as it makes contact with the dirt. The Spreye Bear has fallen , dead on the forest floor.
'Guide , what is this? What about the special attack?!?'
[You should be thanking me, If the attack failed....what did you plan to do after that? If you even had a plan...]
"Seriously guide? I always have a plan!"
[Sureee you do *beep]
[Guide Deactivated]
"Son of a... Ugh... Guide really annoys me sometimes".
I open my eyes to analyze the clearing, Alexia is still in the same spot, she has no clue if I lived or not. but nonetheless she is sleeping without a care in the world.
I probably should help her, I have no idea where to go next and she is my only hope of getting out of here anytime soon.
Also, I'm not fighting any monsters alone again, screw this whole "adventure" thing we have going on here.
*Sigh* "Fine.."
I jog over to Alexia and kneel next to her. She is obviously still breathing because her snores are shaking the entire area.
'Okay maybe that is an exaggeration'
"Hey, Alexia! Wake up!" , I shake her by her shoulder in an attempt to wake her up but she remains unaffected.
After a moment I decide to ask guide what to do.
'What is happening to her?"
[She is spiritually exhausted from using a powerful attack, she will need 3 days off rest]
"So that means..."
[Yes, It means you will be on your own for a while]
[Unless..]
"Unless what?!?"
[You are able to locate a priest of Alexia and get her Magical energy restored]
"Well, I have no other choice so that's where I'll go!"
'Wherever that is'
