Chereads / APOCALYPSE: SYSTEM OF GREED / Chapter 12 - MEETING

Chapter 12 - MEETING

Are you lying to me ?

She starts to unseath her sword while looking at me with killing intent.

Wait I am telling the truth and why are you unsheathing your sword.

She looked at me with suspicious.

Then prove it to me that you have killed a zombie boss.

Umm can't you sense my power?

I have advanced to the second stage .

He points at himself.

She became a little thoughtful about it as she realised something.

(He is in the second stage of the power system.)

(Only people that have actually killed a 1 star zombie or a boss are able to advance to the second stage )

(Although I don't fully trust him he still has some valid proofs to prove that he killed a boss)

(But I still am not convinced)

(In history no-one has been able to kill a boss without going to the tutorial tower first)

(If he really did kill a boss monster then it seems I underestimated him or he is being manipulated by someone else into thinking he actually did it.)

(Well either way I am not losing anything)

(Instead I may either gain a good enough servant or information about the the strong individual controlling him)

he puts the sword back in her sheath as she stopped looking at me with Killing intent.

she turned her head towards another place.

This place looks alot like the one he once told me to meet. She whispered .

She looks at her hand which had a medium weight sword of 2 pound.

The sword boasts a medium-length blade, forged from a dark, almost matte black steel that absorbs light, giving it a shadowy, ominous appearance. Running the length of the blade are vivid red stripes, intricately etched into the metal, forming a network of glowing veins that pulse faintly, as if alive with energy. The blade tapers to a fine point, designed for precision and deadly efficiency.

The hilt of the sword is crafted from blackened metal, seamlessly blending into the blade. It features a crossguard with sharp, angular lines, offering protection without sacrificing maneuverability. The grip is wrapped in supple black leather, providing a secure hold that molds comfortably to the wielder's hand. The pommel is capped with a dark, smooth stone, completing the sword's sleek and formidable look.

I looked at her with a relieved face that she had decided to not kill me.

(Maybe I should not give her too much information)

(I don't really know what kind of information people believe in so if I accidentally tell people what should not be possible than they might go against me)

He looked at the sword of seraphine as it immediately caught his attention.

(This feeling what is this)

(The weird feeling in my right arm)

(It's the same as when I last got the the top of the roof)

Hoi zeran

My thought process again got stopped by seraphine.

Yes?

Is this place in south Korea?she asked the question while looking at the city.

Huh how do you know that?

Her eyes immediately light up.

(This was the place he told me that he would meet me at .maybe my luck is finally turning around)

Zeran immediately noticed the small happiness in her eyes.

(Something is wrong here how does she know of this country if she is a demon that never visited earth)

(And that small glint of happiness as if she wanted to be here)

(Is there something important on this place like a treasure or a powerelfull weapon)

(I should observe her more closely on what is happening since I might miss on important stuff that could be useful to me)

Follow me.

She spoke with a calm voice.

She walks towards the centre of the city.

Well okay since you seem like you know about this place so I trust you.

I also follow behind her.

Seraphine didn't say anything as she only looked at the deriction we were going to.

She sprints towards the place we are supposed to go to.

While I follow her.

She was sprinting pretty fast as we were covering 100 meters in 1 second but even I was easily going at that speed.

(Is she intentionally going slow so that I can catch up to her or is she going this slow because she is surveying the areas for something?)

Sigh!

She stopped at her tracks as she looks at me with a bored face.

I slided trough this to stop my sprint and landed 10 meters farther away than her.

She comes near me with.her face not changing.

Do you know how to use mana?

Umm n.oo

she places her hand on my chest.

Try to focus on my hand and feel the thing that enters your body.

Now close your eyes .

I do as she tells me not because I trust her but because I am scared of her powers.

She slowly puts her hand on top of my chest.

As she does that I suddenly feel something unexpected.

As if cold air was coming entering my body but instead of air it was a sort of watery substance.

My focas immediately went to the watery air substance entering my body.

Good now try to change the trajectory of that Mana.

I didn't notice she was complimenting me because my whole focus was on that mysteries substance entering my body.

I unconsciously wanted to change its trajectory as it felt like it was going towards the wrong deriction.

As it went through my veins it slowly reached my lungs ignoring the other way.

I as if on instinct used my will power to change the place where it was going.

My brain signals immediately reached the mana as it changed its trajectory towards my heart.

When it reached my heart it spread out to all of my body part.

She took her hands away from my chest as soon as the mana reached all over my body.

I opened my eyes to a whole new world as if I had gained a whole new third eye.

It felt like I was watching a new colour I didn't know existed .

Do you now know how to use mana?

I don't really know about it since this was the first time I felt this thing inside my body.

You already have some amount of mana you just don't know how to use it so it's been roaming around your body freely.

Now try to cover your veins of your legs and try to control it .

I did as she told me in curiosity .

I slowly dericted my mana towards both of the legs.

Ugg

I immediately felt my leg cramped in a place as the mana became difficult to control.

You idiot try to do it one leg at a time.

I'm sorry.

I apologized sincerely.

I again tried to do it but this time I did it one leg at a time.

This time it was easier to control the mana as I had to use half the previous mana.

My right leg felt rejuvenatted after controlling my mana at that place.

After that I tried on dericting the other mana towards the left leg.

Ugh

My right leg immediately became heavy.

Try to keep the mana on the right leg controlled or keep an eye on it while you do the left leg.

What's the point of putting mana in a place to are just going to ignore.

Okay got it miss.

I speaked with my leg being completely immovable.

I tried to do as she said.

First the right leg.

I accumulated lots of mana to my right leg album also kept an eye on it.

I then went for the left leg as I felt while keeping the right legs mana in control.

Huh I did it.

Suddenly a voice came from above.

HOO IT SEEMS OUR LUCK IS GOOD.

We just came out of the tutorial and were planning on getting something valuable but the treasure came right at us.

A Demi human and a weak human that can't control mana.

Not only that the demi human has some cool equipment on her.

I looked above to see 10 figures up there.

Seraphine looked at them with no emotions.

Well it seems we can now check if you have Good control over mana.

Go and kill them in 1 minute and if you can't then you are dead meat she threatened me with her cold eyes.

I looked above to see the 10 figures smirk .

I secretly smiled as I got ready to fight them.

(They are strong maybe as strong as the zombie boss)
