After the banquet, the rest of the week passed without any event except for his being called by the newly awakened mages to hang out with them but he simply rejected them saying that he was busy. It was soon another weekend, a Saturday. His cultivation has been steadily increasing, he has broken through to rank 3 and is very close to rank four. Most importantly, his suit has been completed. He finished it the following day.
He looked at the four-meter white robotic suit that was in front of him while smiling. The suit looks dazzling and it is white because everything was made from silvery iron. The back should be fitted with thrusters that would enable him to fly in the air but the burden would be too much on his body so he replaced it with a thin film of the the wings that would allow him to jump high and also glide in the air. Now that he has finished his suit, he can now start to put his plan in motion.
The suit has an enhancement rune on it, it should be able to enhance his body to about fifteen times that of a human. That means as long asoes not run into mages that are not above rank 20 for, he should be able to put up a fight with them, and he can easily escape from rank 30 mages.In the future, if he's able to fully control it, rank 30 mages will not be a challenge anymore. It should be enough for his short-term goal. He remembered the notification he received when he finished.
**Become proficient in blacksmithing completed: 10000 credits received**
** New blueprints available **
He went to the blueprint section to check on the blueprint but all of them rerrequiredloy which is the combination of alloy and a spirit refining it, it will take a lot of resources and he can only attempt it if his mana has transformed to liquid so he needs to reach rank 30 for that and that's a long term goal. He has just decided to go and register in a black-smiting organization and perform forging so that he can amass resources and connections so that by the time he reaches rank 30 he will build a new set of mecha for himself.
It was already evening, he went back to his room and slept. He woke up an hour before midnight and ate before going to where the suit was and he swiped his finger. It disappeared into the interspatial ring on his finger before he wore an oversized cape. He took out his phone and checked around his house.
The view of almost one hundred meters around his villa appeared in his pad. It is currently empty. It's midnight so people will be asleep including Jeff who is also asleep in his room. He sneaked out of his house and spread his dream sense out before he entered into a dark alley and the white mecha appeared in front of him. He pressed onto the chest area and his fingerprint was taken before the mecha opened from the middle and a console appeared in front of him. He entered the console and the mecha closed. The eyes of the mecha shoe with a white light show that it has come online. He did not have time to practice with it in his house yet because it had limited space so he first staggered about. It took him almost ten minutes to become proficient in its movement.
In the darkness of the night, a white mecha rushed out of a dark alley and jumped into the air. It landed on the roof of a villa but did not make much noise before a thin film of metallic wings equipped with small thrusters spread out from its back. He jumped again and glided through the air until the momentum was displaced and he landed on the roof of another villa.
He rushed through the city and it only took him five minutes to arrive in the inner city. It took him another three minutes before he saw the tall towering wall surrounding the city. He knew that he had gone out through the gate so he rushed from roof to roof till he reached the roof of the house that was connected to the wall of the city and the small thrusters were engaged. He soared into the air and landed on the wall of the city that is almost twenty meters tall before he jumped and glided through the air landed on the floor and did a rdoing before he stood back up.
"Ahh," he gasped, the series of movements was a little bit taxing for the undeveloped body.
He looked around and saw that he had arrived in a completely different world, the slums. There are no brick buildings, there are only tattered tents and houses made from wood scattered randomly around the city. His dream sense picked up the activities happening around the slums, it's very active, unlike the inner and outer city. Fights are breaking out in some places, drunk men sleeping outside, and ifferentypesss of obscene scenes.
** Creature of Order has been sensed **
**New mission: Meet with the creature of order**
Penalty for failure: none, Rewards: None.
"Hm" He was surprised at the notification. He also felt a vague connection to somewhere but there was no time to ponder on it before he had to leave. He engaged his thrusters as he glided through the air towards the nearest wall.
Within a minute he arrived at the outer wall that was barely ten meters tall and easily jumped through it before he landed outside the city. His senses picked up tents with armed forces around the city. They are the ones protecting the city. He rushed out for another five minutes before he arrived at the train station and he jumped over a moving train before he entered the wilderness. He stopped when he entered, he had to utilize vigor to be at his peak. The series of high-intensity movements he just made has exhausted his body.
**Notification: Host has entered into the territory of the beasts.
Kill beasts to earn credit. A rank 1 beast gives ten credits, A rank 2 beast gives fifty credits and a rank three beasts gives one hundred credits.
** The inspect function of the system will now be available**
The wings behind him were retracted as his dream sense was fully spread out to pick up any instant movement from any creature. He slowly walked through the jungle and continued to enter deep, the atmosphere in the jungle was gloomy and also gave the vibe of danger. He already read about the beasts, he knows that the beasts are usually active during the night and beasts that can roam about are very dangerous and the stronger ones.
He continued to walk for almost ten minutes before he stopped. He took two steps back and swiped his hand through the air. The metallic hand fitted with a untlet caught a writhing green snake.
"Deep fang venom python," He said. This is a mutated version of the normal python, no human can survive its venom and it has very fast movement which gives it the ability to ambush its prey without giving them any chance to react.
** A rank 2 mutated deep fang venom python**
Strength: 10, Speed: 50, Physique: 7, Defense: 10 **
Its speed alone is five times that of a normal human, without his mecha he won't even know how he died. He applied strength to his arm and crushed its neck. Its body dropped onto the ground. A red blob of liquid came out from his body and entered through the joints of his mecha into his body. It went towards the crystal beside his heart and entered the crystal. The crystal soon turned red.
** 5000/100
** Level up, Level up, Level up, Level up, Level up**
** Level 5: Blood energy required: 1900/ 3200**
He smiled as he looked at the notifications that popped up in his view. There's hope of completing the one-month mission to advance to his next evolution stage. Just one rank 3 mutated beast has allowed him to level up five times. He looked at the beast on the floor that had already shriveled up. The blood energy in the body is the essence of the blood in the body, without the blood energy, the blood will just become a normal liquid and the body will shrivel up. That's the reason dead bodies disintegrate, when they die, their blood energy will be dispersed which will in turn allow their blood to evaporate and without the support of blood, they will die.
"Am I a vampire" He could not help but ask himself when he knew that he had to use blood energy to advance towards the next stage of his evolution. He focused as he jumped forward, a shadow passed where he had just been and flew back into the air. He looked up and saw a creature that was like an eagle except it was larger than an eagle and its beak was golden.
**Rank 2 mutated beast: Golden beak eagle
Strength: 20, Speed: 30, Physique: 15 Defense: 5 **
The golden beak eagle is a mutated version of an eagle, their beak is golden in color because it can pierce through anything. Even his suit might be pierced by the beak if he is not careful. The eagle swooped down towards him again, the thin film of wings spread out behind him as he glided through the air. He has already jumped twenty meters almost meeting the eagle. The eagle eye turned ferocious as it looked at the mysterious metallic being and its beak was ready. It has confidence in its beak because it can pierce through anything.
Just when they were one meter away from each other, the momentum of Wallace's thruster ended and he started to fall back to the ground allowing the beak of the eagle ready to pierce his chest to just barely pass through his head leaving a series of marks on the metallic helmet on his head. At the same time, he raised his hand and caught the flustered eagle by its wing. He engaged the emergency thrusters just as he was five meters away from the ground and it slowed down his fall before ripping the wings of the eagle off and he snapped its neck. A blob of red liquid emerged from its body and entered his body.
