Chapter 12: Chapter 12

I summoned Dark bringer… hmm, will I even use Cheating machinations this time? It seems like it will be just a cheat if I do…

"No need for explanation then…"

The one with the horn said as they dashed towards me in a quick manner, I however just jumped to avoid getting hit like a normal person.

"It's a spar, you know nya? Be nicer to me nya."

I said in a nonchalant manner as I reached the ground and immediately slashed with the sword I have in my hand… though they dodged the attack.

"No projectile?"

Nope, I'm just projectile stacking my sword. But you don't really know that anyway… the most stacks currently available by me is at least 15 projectiles.

Using Dark bringer, I dashed towards him and tried to stab him, but it failed, so knowing that I will get countered, I immediately let go of the sword and just ducked as I almost got hit by a horizontal slash.

"What the hell is wrong with-"

I teleported the sword that I let go back to my hand and did a sweep before grabbing them, and then stomping at their head for trying to hit me, you will never hit me, unless you are faster than me.

"Over nya."

I stabbed my sword close to their head while they are lying down. Of course, my foot is still at their head.

"Tch… I lost again to this cat… in under 30 seconds too this time, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Atleus, just a normal living being."

I said, not answering his question as I kicked him away from me. Let's not worry about how I abused his body and just walked away, I didn't even ask for his name… Anyway, the new servant is wearing a different collar than the one I am using as a bracelet, huh.

–Yep. That one is much more inferior… only has 10% more damage as a plus. [Considering that damage is quite useless without you hitting yoru opponent or them taking it at full force, it isn't that good to have that low of an increase, especially if you are weak.]

I ate at the cafeteria and was called by Liza so I rightfully entered her room, of course I knocked.

"Come in."

Liza said and I politely open the door.

"I'm going on an adventure in this…very very big world. I mean, why not, you'll follow me right, my servant?"

She said while looking at me with the eyes of those who knew the truth…

"Guess so nya. I mean nya… I don't really have a choice anyway nya…"

If I do have a choice, it will be more like being chained in an underground dungeon or something in the likes of it…

–[... Have you ever wondered how misleading that is? I mean… I'm probably the one on the wrong here, but still…]... Eh, guess so. We got caught that we've deactivated the contract… so that punishment sounds normal.

"Hey you… why did you stole the swords I put on the treasure room?"

She then asked me this, which caused me to somehow be confused for a single second…

–Huh? So it's not the contract being destroyed that is the issue?

"... You may not have known this Master nya, but all of those are mine. So they aren't yours nya, even if I am your servant nya."

I said trying to prove a point, but she didn't seem to be believing in my… no, she's fooling me that she thinks it isn't mine, after all, she already has seen me wielding it…

"Also do note that we…-"

*Fwoosh*...

Teleportation?

"... Surprising that you didn't get nausea or a slight headache after that. Even though you can't teleport at all."

She said to me while acting curious… acting. Uggh… I feel like she is giving me more of a headache than a person who monitors me and can also read minds…

–Lea doesn't bother you… this one, is curious about you… I mean, they aren't even asking about why the color of your ears and tail changed… it's as if she doesn't think it is important as to the current matter at hand. Now plan is… don't bother to explain, but make it feel look like you're explaining.

"Hmm it's cause I been teleported multiple times by my teacher, although I like to say nya… they just do it just cause they can…"

I said a half lie with a straight face, as if I was telling the truth… even if I'm not telling the full truth.

–Heh, it be fine, as long as she didn't look… uh, she knows it is not the whole truth…

Well, there goes that lie…

"Anyway, as I said, I need to travel all around this very…very… very big world."

She said as a gun appeared in her hand… oh no, what is she gonna do with the gun?

–Oh no… not the gun…

I just turned to my left and walked for 0.2 seconds and barely avoided a laser.

"Hey, I need to test your combat skills."

She just said as more guns floating appeared in what I presume to be gates…

–[Gate of Babylon… really inefficient, but with guns, it's scary.] Prepare yourself, Atleus. You don't have a hitbox of a bullet hell character.

{I don't really get that…} oh okay. So I just have to… oh god, I don't think I can dodge this…

–... Some guns are aiming towards you, while… *sigh*... They're too many to really predict the pattern…

I looked around… you're right. So this one has to be blocked by me. I summoned Cheating machinations and controlled the 12 gears to circle around me.

"Oh? Then let's see if you can really block it!!"

Liza said while the lasers suddenly started to appear and aimed towards me… all of them aimed towards me. Hehehehe… auto aiming? That helps me a lot more than you think.

–Really the best pattern.

I immediately started running to my right and made sure to not get hit as the lasers somehow just, not touching me.

"Grazing nya. Let's you cheat projectile nya."

–... You're just dodging it.

Hey, let me have my cool part at least… although, I only did said that cause of fun.

–Get ready for the second wave of attacks, this time, hitting from behind you too.

I see… do I have everything that can cut projectiles or magic? Anything will do…

–Me.

Great. 

I stabbed Cheating machinations to the ground lightly as I summoned Angel and did a spin slash, and then started to run again, albeit this time, worrying much less that a bullet will hit me.

"Did he just evaded that just by doing a spin slash to get rid of the bullets aiming at him?"

She said while clapping… and then she smiled in a horrific way, as if she is gonna try to make me suffer moments after she has said that…

–Oh no… the guns are charging way faster now, and also, more projectiles to deal with, also also… faster bullets… probably.

Tch, as expected… she just wants to beat me up and call it looking at how strong I am, isn't it?

–Most likely the case.

{*Sigh*... Okay, then, I have to slash faster then.}

I threw Angel in front of me in a way so that it spins vertically and followed it around while running away from the lasers coming behind me with high speeds, I then summoned Devil bringer and used 1% of my concentration to cover it with dark energy. I then turn around before I threw Devil bringer like I threw Angel earlier so that bullets won't get near me, I then summoned Angel back to my hand, and just did a spin slash to get rid of the lasers currently targetting me and just move to my left just to avoid the lasers that I didn't get rid of using my spin slash… I summoned Cheating machinations and changed it to bow mode, I then threw the Blade to misdirect her in just 0.6 seconds…

"... I see, you really want to die from lasers- Where?"

Where am I, you asked? I'm currently…

I pulled the string of Cheating machinations as a bow in my hand. Using concentration, I stood in the air, 20 meters up, I teleported there using 30% of my concentration.

–Current concentration is 63%, are you sure for this?

Don't worry, she won't die… I will only use 1% concentration from every magic arrows fired… so at most…

I aimed at Liza with unwavering hands and made 3 magic arrows, I then let go of the strings from Cheating machinations and guess… that's it.

"Atleus, at your service nya…"

I muttered quietly as the arrows quickly started to fly towards her.

"... Like I let you!!"

She said as she made a barrier that barely blocked the three arrows I made, if she did it 0.2 seconds late, she would probably got hit by that.

"... Hmm, I guess I lost nya."

I said while putting all of the swords back to their respective rings. I then stopped using my concentration to stand in the air and I just landed with my feet.

"Teleportation… why didn't you just teleported behind me and hit me there?"

The distance between me and you at that time is more than 50 meters, if I did do that, then I would probably use more than 60% of my current concentration and if I did use that much concentration, I would probably not be able to teleport… and teleportation is quite hard to do, it requires a lot of focus…

"Can't nya. Don't have enough concentration for it nya."

I just said while casually stealing a gun from one of the gates. I should store the gun into my side bag for now… I make a holder for it later.

–... This one is just a bad gun, it is able to shoot a laser… but it is inefficient while doing so, she probably switched it when you tried to steal it…

Eh that's fine. This one is long range and fast to use, so I'm fine with it. Speed is kinda important in my style, after all. 

–I know that… but you… well, you can make it better later, for now, talk to Liza and ask as to why you think she is trying to make you suffer bullet hell?

"Master nya… so uh, why are we on a barren wasteland?"

I asked while stealing a sword buried from the ground…

–Let's see… Devil Sword: Death Foreteller. Another legendary Sword. I think she just wants you to give it to her, but you stole it from her… she probably also already knew that you stole it from her.

"... Nah, I'm just here to test you."

–Figures. The momentary silent she had is her realizing that the sword isn't here, and she knows you are the reason for it…

Uggh… what?... My head…

–Uh oh… even I'm feeling that one… Nggn…

"How dare you steal treasures I'm taking for myself? You're just my servant…"

I… I'm not your servant… I'm… Atleus, the being of a person that's not real…

–Nggn… summon me…

"Focus… down to the point of…"

Why do I need to use a spell? It doesn't matter if I do or not anyway.

I grabbed the gun and shoot it at her before throwing it away and teleporting above her, I then stomped on her head as I grabbed her from the ground and killed the illusion…

"Nggn… my head…"

–Forcing yourself to move… and also forcing yourself to teleport took much more concentration… the mind pain must have been strong…

I fainted.

"... My illusion is beaten? Okay, I didn't think you are actually that talented… for a soldier that is. Should take some months before his next advancement in rank."

Liza just said as she turned around and teleported to Atleus's room. She put her on the bed gracefully before teleporting to her own room… Angel was, of course, in Atleus's hands.

–*Sigh*... Such a pain. If you're gonna test someone, make sure they are adequately fine with it first… or at least make sure they aren't exhausted before doing it. Because otherwise, they might show lower statistics than what they can actually do… and also, you're raising the risk part of it… let's be real, risk is just another way to say failed reward, but still.
