Everyone Else Has a System -
Chapter 91 The Mechanical Angel
'Hmmm?! What just happened?' I thought as I realised that I had suddenly stopped walking. This feeling… it feels like I have been sleeping for sometime… What is… this strange sensation though?
Trying to get a grasp of my own body, I slowly pry open my eyes as I feel the sun shining brightly and it's light blinding my eyes . By reflex, I use my hand to shield my eyes from the sun.
It takes a few moments before my eyes finally adjust to that bright light and then I notice the thick forest all around me. Not long after, I began hearing the cheerful chirping of birds, not only that… I think I heard the roar of a few animals at a distance.
I then push myself against the ground and stand up to check myself thoroughly. I was wearing the same outfit, white-coloured shirt over blue jeans, it didn't seem like my clothes had changed. I then tried sensing my surroundings only to replace that I could not use mana.
'To be precise, there is no mana around here… in fact the amount of mana here is extremely low,' I thought as I then changed my eyes' colour from white to green as I activated my spirit mana regeneration.
'So spirit mana exists but not normal mana…' I pondered as I observed the trees all around me flushing with greenery before I looked around and found…
Nothing at all.
Not really bothered about it, I began walking in a random direction as I analysed different plants and animals that I found around along the way. At first, what looked similar, turned out to be different from what I initially thought it was.
Whether it is a plant or an animal, there's something about them that separates them from what is a real thing.
A three eared rabbit, an apple tree bearing oranges, or was it those circular mechanical rings in the sky that looked like clouds.
I had to recheck everything to confirm what I was witnessing was true and not some illusion.
I walked for another few hours before…
-Slash
-Slash
-Boom
I heard a strange sound, as if the air was being cut by a fast attack at a distance not far, before hearing the sound of an explosion coming from the same place.
'Is it a monster fight or something?' I thought as I wondered whether I should move towards the explosion or not.
But since everything was pretty much boring, I decided to move in that direction.
"Mana enhancement," I mutter as I apply mana into my arms and legs before I…
-Dash
-Dash
-Dash
-Dash
Began running towards the place where the explosion took place as swiftly as I could.
I jumped at one of the tree branches and ran through the forest quickly as I jumped from one branch to another, and with each jump I made, I realised that these trees were really strong to be able to take the impact of my kick. Normal trees might have already broken into pieces if I had even applied half of the power I am using right now.
'The atmosphere and the environment must be really nourishing for everything around… which in turn means that the animals or whatever is there must be strong as well…' I pondered as I once again calculated if I should keep moving in that direction or turn around.
Though in the end I kept moving cause well… I might need to face it later anyway, so there isn't much difference between checking it now and checking it later.
"Worst case scenario, I could just run away,'' I thought as I almost reached the place where the explosion took place and found a huge crater between the woods and examining the place around, I found a massive red cat like monster, moving towards something.
'Mana sense,' I thought as I tried to see through what was there. However, with all the dense spirit energy around me, I couldn't see through it. At last I just decided to run around that cat to see where it was moving.
"Mana Enhancement… Bifold" I mutter before my eyes turn into a darker shade of green and blue-coloured lines became visible over my arms and legs where I applied the spirit magic.
-Swish
-Swish
-Swish
-Swish
Swiftly moving at a rapid speed, I finally reached the point where I could see what the cat monster was after.
'A kid?' I thought as I looked at the young boy running away hurriedly with a look of desperation on his face.
'Hmmm… interesting,' I thought as I pondered whether it was him or the cat who caused the crater there.
'Only one way to replace out,' I thought as I began moving towards the boy… However, before I could even take a step, someone landed right in between the boy and the cat monster.
It was too quick for me to even notice how fast she arrived there.
'An Angel?' I thought as I looked at that girl from a distance, before I moved forward to take a closer look at her. Though, as I reached closer, I saw the cat glaring at the girl for a second before the girl disappeared and appeared behind the cat, slashing the cat at hundreds of places simultaneously.
'Fast!!' I thought as I observed the girl slashing the cat down into bits before she put her light sword off.
On closer look, I saw that it was not that the girl was an angel, but that she was wearing a white mechanical suit with a grey outline, with a halo-like thing on top and white mechanical angel-like wings. She had a mechanical, expressionless face with grey eyes pointed at the boy as she stood there without sparing a glance to the cat monster.
I then observed the boy… white hairs, white eyes with a fearful expression on his face as he observed that Angel.
'Is he scared of her?' I thought as I observed the situation and then saw that Angel girl moved toward the boy one step at a time, while the boy was standing still, he couldn't even move a muscle after being terrorised shitless.
"Mana Blessing… Spirit's Blessing… Body Enhancement… 10 fold.." I muttered as I tried using the dense spirit magic around me and unsurprisingly it worked out as I could feel my body bursting with energy as the mana began coursing in it.
Then I ran as fast as I could, cause… well if I didn't spend all this energy my body is taking… I would burst before I could even control it.
-Swish
-Swish
-Swish
I moved near the boy in an instant as I caught him, and then in the next instant I reached at least a kilometre away creating air shock waves behind me. Not only did it confuse the boy who was in my arms right now, but also the mechanical suit wearing Angel lady who was standing there.
Before she could react, I was already a dozen kilometres away, however…
-Swish
I dodged the attack at my neck by pure reflex as I stopped myself from falling, barely getting back my momentum as I saw her standing in front of me preparing for another attack.
'Shit!' I cursed as I let the mana in my body fill my legs, and then…
-Boom
I kick myself away from the trajectory of her attack, dodging her attack before turning around and then jumping once again away from there… However, this time, my body, which didn't have the necessary amount of mana, took some damage against the air that hit me.
Still… I healed myself using health regeneration and then looked back at the Angel slowly walking towards me… the boy in my arms was surprisingly… conscious as he looked at me with slight amazement.
I then sighed as I held my grip on the boy tightly and muttered in a low voice,"I am going to go even faster," and the boy widened his eyes at me before gulping and nodding before grabbing me more tightly.
'Honestly… why am I even doing this? Oh! Yeah… my soft part about children and the fact that I can use him to gain information much easier than by asking that killing machine over there…' I clicked my tongue at my luck before I muttered again,
"Blood Sacrifice: Zeroth Moon," My eyes turn red from green as I look at the front… and I hoped that with all this dense spirit magic… it better work, cause if it fails… I might die even before it starts.
"Spirit Summon: Asteria's Blessing," I spoke out loud… and then my eyes… rather than turning green again… they turned purple… it was really odd… because it wasn't hurting using both the magic at once. I wonder why?
-Dash
-BOOM!!!
I ran again… this time with an unmatchable speed than before… I was travelling about 40 times faster than my normal speed… I was finally away from that Angel… or so I thought before…
I saw her standing right in front of me preparing for another attack with the same surprised expression on her face.
