After my talk with D and understanding the basics of the 'repairer' and 'record' traits, I was left cold. Without a doubt, those two powers were on another level. Literally speaking, I could restore anything to its prime, whether it was objects or living beings. Without a second thought, I stuffed the bones into the bucket and left D in charge of the repairs.
- REPAIR WILL TAKE 1 TO 5 YEARS. REPAIR WILL BE KEPT AT A MINIMUM SPEED.
"Perfect".
After collecting the bones and starting the repairs, I proceeded to continue on my way. I started running again with 'wind momentum'. This lasted for about 50 minutes. I covered great distances in a matter of minutes and, finally, I noticed something different in my surroundings: a river cut my path. I immediately approached the river.
"Finally water! Hahahahaha."
"I was already fed up with drinking beast blood."
I immediately got down on my knees and put my head in the water. I took big gulps of fresh, pure water in my mouth. Those were my thoughts. Drinking clean water filled me with happiness. Looking at the river more closely, I noticed that it was definitely quite wide.
- THE WATER IS NORMAL.
"Ha, you don't need to state the obvious."
- UNDERSTOOD.
Another thing worth noting was that on the other side the trees were different and much taller than those in this forest. Without thinking twice, I was ready to swim across the river. That's when D. spoke.
- AT LEAST 100 BLOODTHIRSTY CREATURES WERE DETECTED UNDERWATER. THEY ARE GOOD AT HIDING.
"Damn, I almost forgot this place is hell."
Once again, my confidence almost got me into trouble. Letting my guard down was the same as dying. After thinking about it, using 'move', I flew to the other shore. Without looking back, I ventured into this forest that seemed holy due to its wrinkled trees and strange leaves. I kept moving forward for what seemed like hours. I opted not to run at high speeds and the reason was simple: I didn't detect any threats in the surroundings. It seemed like this forest was free of predators. However, I didn't let my guard down. After walking for so long, I finally got to see what I had been waiting to see for so long: humans, and there were several of them.
"Hahahaha, finally."
- 6 INDIVIDUALS WERE DETECTED.
"Hahahaha, if I follow them, I'll find a city and these damn days of torture will be over."
Without wasting any time, I approached the individuals and stayed about 30 meters away from them, hiding my presence. I watched them from the tall trees.
"I only see 5 guys in the distance."
- THE LAST ONE IS INSIDE THE CARRIAGE.
"I can't see it, what's going on?"
- IT IS CAMOUFLAGED. THE CARRIAGE IS INVISIBLE AT THE MOMENT.
"Oh, I see, how interesting."
There were 5 guys sitting there panting. It was obvious that they had run away from someone. Their clothes were stained with blood. That caught my attention.
"Those guys are dangerous."
- UNKNOWN ENERGY CONCENTRATION IN THE 'DEMONIC EYE' WILL BE INCREASED.
After increasing the energy in my eyes, I could see the carriage D told me about and I also saw through it. Inside I could see the figure of a little girl. I was shocked when I saw her and that was because of her ears, which were long. I immediately knew what was going on. The girl was tied hand and foot.
"Hehehehehehe, hahahahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha".
"Without a doubt, the garbage will be in all worlds, in all places, and it seems that it will always be humans."
"What a pity, how ashamed I am."
My rage was at its peak. I knew I shouldn't act crazy. I remembered why I died, for acting like a fucking crazy person.
"Ugh, calm down."
"I must keep a cool head. These are humans, they are intelligent beings, they are not brainless beasts. If I attack them without thinking, I may get a surprise in the end."
"D, what are the chances of killing those worms?"
- 100% CHANCE OF SUCCESS.
- ACCORDING TO MY ANALYSIS, THEIR ENERGY RESERVES ARE NOT THAT LARGE.
- THEY WON'T LAST LONG IN A FIGHT AGAINST US.
"Perfect".
With D's confirmation, I proceeded to approach the 5 individuals. If D said I could win, then so be it. I trusted him, he was never wrong. In this way, I walked until I got close to the 5 men and they noticed me. Upon noticing me, all 5 of them suddenly stood up and pulled swords out of their sheaths. They started talking in their language. They seemed surprised to see a child in the forest, but that didn't matter to me. I approached them with a smile on my face. The cube was nowhere to be seen, as I had swallowed it. Swallowing it was easy, as I could shrink and increase its size as I pleased. According to D, it made no difference whether I had it outside or inside my body. When I got in front of the guys, I stopped and said:
"Die."
Hearing my word, the 5 of them made confused faces and I proceeded to cut with my hand horizontally.
"Wind cut".
After that word left my mouth, a wind blade shot out from my right hand.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
"Ughh, kuaaaaaaaa".
"Ughhh, aaaaaaaaaaa".
"Aaaaaaaaa".
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
Screams echoed in the area. All 5 guys were cut in half by my power. Out of the 5, there was one of them who didn't die instantly and in fact, he was the strongest of them. He was bleeding out. An idea occurred to me as I watched him.
"D, is it possible to extract information from that guy's brain?"
- YES, BUT HE WILL LOSE HIS MENTAL FACULTIES.
"I don't care. Analyze his language and try to get everything you can out of his brain."
- UNDERSTOOD.
Without wasting any time, I walked over to the guy who was still alive and put my hand on his head. The guy was looking at me with anger in his eyes, but I didn't give a damn. Shortly after, D activated 'extraction'. All I did was wait for about 30 minutes.
- INFORMATION EXTRACTION WAS ACHIEVED.
- THE LANGUAGE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY LEARNED.
- THE INDIVIDUAL HAS DIED.
"Perfect, now I should be able to understand what the humans of this world are telling me."
After extracting the information I wanted, I proceeded to search the belongings of the guys I had just killed. I took a short guy's robe of some sort and tried it on. It was stained with blood, but it was nothing more than that. I also found daggers in his clothes and things that seemed to be poison. I took two daggers and put them, with a thought, in the bucket that was in my stomach.
- I RECOMMEND KEEPING THE CORPSES.
"And the reason?"
- I WANT MORE TIME TO ANALYSE THE BODIES AND MEMORIES OF THE CORPSES.
"Oh, you can do it even after they died?"
- YEAH.
"Do it".
After giving D permission, the bodies were absorbed into me by touching them with the palm of my hand.
"Hahaha, that bucket turned out to be so useful."
Now there were only traces of blood on the ground. Without any further distractions, I approached the invisible carriage and broke the door lock with a small 'wind cut'. Regulating the strength of my attack was not easy; if I messed up, my attack would go through the door and could kill the girl inside. After removing the door lock, I proceeded to open it. Since it was quite heavy, I opted to use 'heart of ice' for that action, and when I opened it, I saw the girl lying there tied up. The poor girl was scared; the moment she saw me, she freaked out.
"Hey, I'm going to free you," I said.
I didn't know if she understood me. I proceeded to approach her; the girl looked at me with her big green eyes. Fear and distrust were evident. Taking her wrists, I proceeded to try to free her, but I noticed something strange in her bonds.
"What's that?"
- THE MEANING OF THESE ENGRAVINGS IS UNKNOWN, BUT, ACCORDING TO MY ANALYSIS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT, IF WE FORCE THE ROPE, IT COULD EXPLODE.
"Oh really?"
