Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Hmm…

How many concentration do I still have?

Let's see… roughly… ah… thuk……

*Thukk.*

I let go of the sword as I collapsed… being in the heat battle let me focus huh…

… Let me faint then……

"... He definitely overexerted, didn't he? Anyway…"

Reid carried Atleus on his back before teleporting both of them to Atleus' room.

"... Let's see…"

He carefully put Atleus on the bed. He then teleported away.

…

…

…

"... Nggn…"

I woke up. I carefully stretched…

"Good morning nya."

I said. Yet no one answered…

*Tzzt, tzzt.*

_Lea here. Want to go here?_

{... Might as well.}

I stood up and she teleported me to her Lab.

"Heya."

She waved at me, in which I responded by waving back.

I summoned Angel.

"Oh… mana deprived… Well, don't worry."

She already realized what is troubling me… I see… mana deprived…

"Well, it will be fine. Probably. Anyway if you want to give it mana… just use like… roughly 30% of your concentration."

I see… I started to do what she says…

–... Zzz… Nggn… *yawn*... Good morning…

Good morning to you.

She smiled before giving me something… two bracelets?

"I spent 3 years on these bracelets. I'm sure it's worth it."

She just said before I got teleported to my room.

*Fwoosh*

… Two bracelets. Black in color, and they are… mana Regen 50% speed up.

I see… I should say thanks.

_No problem._

*Tzzt, tzzt.*

The call ended.

120%... Hmm… I guess I can recover my concentration for only 2 hours now? (No, it's 120% first, and then 100% after the answer. So yes, it's the same. But only for mc convenience, that's right. It's 120% and then 100% after the first calculation.)

–220%... Guess so. Do remember it's only 220 on mana Regen though. Any other Regen is still only 120%.

Yeah, yeah, I can remember that easily.

I wore the two bracelets on my right arm. Yep… feels fine.

–Shouldn't it normally be one on each arm?

But… I want to look cool… and stylish. And mix and matched things are too formal, I want that type of look that makes people think I'm unique.

–... Get rid of the jacket then.

…

I removed the jacket and using 10% concentration, make it become a bracelet that can become the jacket at will… hey, I can learn enchanting too, it just that I suck at it. I wore the yellow bracelet into my left arm.

–... Anyway, for now… I guess I should say sorry for sleeping in years…

Years? Don't remember that much time passing…

–You're still technically 16, after all… technically. If we just forget that I already forgotten the day we are on, due to sleeping… and time dilation.

{Time dilation… we shouldn't even ask how it makes sense. It just makes sense.}

*Sigh*... Following my age, I should be like… 20+ at this point. But numbers don't matter. At the end of the day… I'm still below average in concentration even if I wasted years on time dilation… What's wrong with me?

–... Well, if your capabilities as a mage is at a level of a sage, then you could use that thing… Real concentration.

As if. I don't even have half the knowledge to become a sage, and you also need to have an adequate amount of concentration. I don't even qualify as a mage in concentration amounts… I really do suck at even being a normal being huh.

–But… at least you aren't worthless. After all, even I would say that for us, wielding more than one legendary sword is a feat by itself. Although you can't use them to their full potential, you can at least use all of them to half their potential, which is nice.

"But… that's all it is."

I switched my short pants into a longer one, just long enough so it reaches my knee.

"Ah… ah…"

I sound like both a girl and a boy at the same time… great. I actually find a good mix of gender neutral clothes I can wear, and still look unique in them… good thing the world knows that mages had a spell that lets them change clothes, without those, this wouldn't make sense otherwise. {Now… I can add whatever accessory I want and it won't mess with myself… yay!!}

–Guess so… but… you're still short.

Shut up! Time dilation doesn't make me age, also I'm a clone, so after reaching a certain age, it maybe that I can't physically age.

–But still.

…

I left my room, irritated a little as I quickly and silently go towards the cafeteria.

–[30 seconds is up, so Atleus can't read my mind anymore… even though technically that they are kinda right… I have to say, why is Atleus still wearing knee high socks? Well, this world taste is weird, so I won't question it.]

"Atleus… ah… hello…"

A frightened voice coming from Elth is heard by me… before he somehow slipped… personality switches, they're magic. And I won't question it.

–So relatable. You not questioning it, I mean.

"Hello there, Elth. Nice to meet nya."

I said while helping him stand up.

–... Wordplay?

Eh, quite simple to hear.

"Nice to… meet you-!"

He somehow slipped again and hit the floor. This is some scary unlucky sight that I'm seeing… this is not something that should be possible by a normal human at all… but no way in hell someone with Natural green as a color for their hair is a normal person.

–Natural green… isn't that like the color when someone is born from Nature?

Oh, it literally is born from Nature. They just appeared in a random mana filled forest, as a child. Probably like 4 years old, and then ages… he looks like he is 8 years old currently so by this, we can conclude that his Mental age to be 4… but, that doesn't really matter anyway… it's just a rare existence that appears once every hundred years, other than that, it's basically a much more talented person than most things combined.

–90% better than anything on this world… and since this world is as vast as I don't really know it myself, but more than a million kilometers in being big, I consider it big.

… Well, I mean, I guess so. But it definitely is a planetoid globe, isn't it? I flew upwards like 2000ishm km in the air one time, and found the world to have a bit of a curve…

–Gravity. It's basically how big planets have meteors and why they get hit by-... So uh… how did you fly that high? Know what, I won't bother to ask.

{Guess so.}

I smiled a little before talking to the person behind the counter… I ate my meal and silently left the cafeteria… for now…

I navigated my way to the roof of this mansion, and using my eyes… I focused on the sky…

"Would you look at that, a big rock from the area unknown, gonna specifically, hit this mansion."

Hmm…. Will the barrier hold on?

–I doubt it will, but it will certainly weaken it by 20%... Look, it's quickly falling towards us, it probably was aimed at us in purpose, so I guess that we should…

I summoned Cheating machinations and changed it into the bow…

"Blade… split into many pieces."

I said and the blade did scattered in many pieces, the pieces automatically covered some of gears… this should strengthen it… hopefully.

I made the magic arrow, using 70% concentration of my current self…

–... This will only weaken it by 30%...

But yes… weakening it is what only I can do… and halving its power is quite a feat, by itself isn't it?

I made another magic arrow beside the first one by using my remaining concentration… I will faint after this…

"Now… hit as I command…"

I let go of the bowstring as I collapsed… a weakened thing that is weakened by 30%... Would get weaker by another 30% after this… probably……

–... [30 seconds till contact to the barrier…]

*Ting*

"Oof… Nggn… hey, Suelta… I need some help… just avoid some big rock targeting the mansion… make sure to be alive…"

I said in the area of unconscious before actually fainting…

(Change pov.)

… Sounds like trouble. This is just trouble… anyway…

*Ting*

"... Wait…"

I looked in the sky, seeing a red rock quickly approaching this mansion… I looked around me, there's a bow in my hand… a bow…

… Oh, why bother to avoid it then…

I used all of my concentration to try and make a magic arrow… this is how Atleus does it, right?

"It should surely hit… probably."

I pulled the string strongly and let go of it… tch, I destroyed the string…

–... Concentration efficiency is only 60%... You tried your best… but we need another one arrow or something else on this scale to stop it…

I see… I don't need to worry about fainting anyway…

*Ting*

I entered the space of consciousness and immediately entered to the room of Alter… his room is filled with a lot of strange stuff. I won't bother to ask though.

"Hey Alter… ah, you know."

I tried to explain what's happening, but he just waved before he vanished… I guess he knows what's happening huh…

I ran to my room… before collapsing… yep, why worry for the inevitable?...

(Change pov)

"... Nggn… my head…"

I grabbed a gun from a holster unremembered… I already knew what's happening by observation… let's see…

Hmm, I can't really use a bow, but I can use something else that will help… 

I put 50% of my concentration to the gun… let's see… for now… at the cost of this gun, I should be able to get rid of 20%... The remaining 10% can be dealt with by the barrier. So by this… 3 seconds is enough.

I aimed the gun upwards… and shoot it twice. 

"I did my work… so the next thing I have to do is simply…"

I moved to a secret compartment Atleus made into the roof… and hid myself there…

("Lots of fainting happened in this chapter… let's blame a big rock from space for it. Ah, wait sorry, let's blame it on a big rock from the area unknown.")

2 hours later… or more.

"Nggn…"

My head… huh… this place… seems like the mansion is alive, huh.

–Except the minor damages to the barrier and outside the mansion… yes.

Well, to be honest, outside the mansion… wasn't the mansion, so it's totally not in myself to care about it, unless it's 2 meters close to the mansion, which is not gonna be possible as the barrier, a dome which is invisible, is like 17 meters apart from the mansion, unless the barrier is broken, will I actually care for it… but for some reason, this barrier doesn't stop anyone from entering in and out. So uh… it kinda is a nifty barrier, but it's also kinda situational on where it's good, like when someone is 18 meters… if they're inside, they can do whatever they want, and it sucks.

–Look… well, unfortunate that this is the case, but at least it has a use.

A really, really situational one. A one that doesn't make sense… good thing that we just eat the monsters that we raid… otherwise, there's gonna be a force

*Thukkk…*.

Oh… someone is above me… I should leave or they might notice me.

I carefully lowered down and jumped off the secret compartment to the lower floor. 

*Light thud*

Thankfully, no one is below me, as I don't really want to talk about why there's a secret passage with a secret compartment, that also is made by me.

"... I'm sure there isn't one here…"

But this area feels too unnatural. I can't feel anyone… What's the reason? I should be able to find the reason as to why in this place… that I can't sense presence?

–... Hmm, yep. Me either. Just can't find the reason.

*Faint electrical sounds*

… Electricity?...

Feeling that I'm in a slight danger, I summoned Angel and barely block an attack that is aimed at my neck. Slight electrical noises were heard as i was almost hit by a blade that was covered in a large amount of electricity…

"..."

I analyzed the Sword he had on his hand… let's see, first, "Super electricity charge"... Second is "Moderate silencer", and the last enchantment was "Current Discharge"...

–... I see. That sword is dangerous. Although I'm technically, not metal, the electricity will still travel to me, to your hand, if my body touches it long enough…

I kicked him away from me as my senses is being a bit weird… they're targetting me? Who is it? It isn't Elth or Reid, that's for sure…

I distanced myself to the unknown assassin to at least 7 meters apart… as I am close to one of the windows at the castle, I teleported outside and quickly fell… as I was close to reaching the ground, I teleported again.

–Current concentration is 80%.

"... Lea, can you…"

No response.

Well, that's kinda unexpected. But totally expected too. I started to run away from the mansion… it's dangerous, and I don't think I can make the mansion be involved on me being targeted…

I slide off the ground while running as I almost got hit by a quick electrical current in the air. I did a roll to recover myself and quickly stood up, and started to run again.

Hearing a faint electrical sound, I glanced back to see what he is doing, but to my surprise, the mask he was wearing burned off as his body was being surrounded by large amounts of electricity, to the point that it would probably kill me if I touched him… beautiful face though…

–That can matter later. For now, do you have something that… ah, I have a stupid idea…

Hmm? I'm interested in that idea of yours…

I looked backwards and he is starting to get close to me… someone I don't remember… well, I'm sure I can talk to him later, after all, I'm not gonna kill him.

Do I have a quick way to shoot projectiles?... I should still have-…

I tried to grab the gun in my holster, but didn't seem to touch anything…

Tch, it was destroyed due to overclocking, isn't it?

*Faint electrical sounds*

Again…

I glanced back and he was already close to me… oh god… 4 seconds till contact… ah… how far am I away in the mansion?

–... Roughly… 600+ meters?

*Grrr*

Ah. Oh… a monster? Wh… I shouldn't ask what monster that is, I just hope that… maybe a mode from Angel will help.

–Wing mode… seems to be a viable situation at this moment.

… {Viable… but, there's another one I want to try for once.}

"Wing mode."

I lightly muttered while doing a jumped to avoid getting touched for 0.4 seconds, before teleporting away from him 10 meters apart at the cost of 10% concentration.

–?... Blade mode?

A crown, colored in royal yellow appeared on top of my head as Angel still looked the same… I have an order, Angel.

–... Uh, okay.

Open your eyes.

And all the eyes Angel has started to open while I narrowly avoided his touch once again by teleporting away…

–30% speed boost… 100% increase in damage capabilities. How do you deal 100% increased damage anyway when you're still the same you, just 30% faster?

Don't ask. This is something that is inside you anyway.

I quickly stopped running and did a spin slash, 2 light swords appeared while I was doing the slash that also slashed him, they then vanished soon after.

–how did I not now this before?

Cause you're asleep? No matters… for now… I can actually bully this bastard who made me run and also made me temporarily lose my presense detection.

As he was hit, the electricity surrounding him quickly disappeared and noticing that chance, I summoned Cheating machinations and threw the sword at him, while keeping him in place using the gears…

I quickly made a mana bow and a mana bowstring for the bow before making a magic arrow…

–Current concentration is 20%... It's quickly depleting while you're using Blade mode.

I pulled the string strongly, doing a natural stance before letting go of it while using 4% concentration to the magic arrow. As he got hit by the magic arrow, 2 swords of light appeared and slashed him in unison again before quickly disappearing into the air…

"... Nggn… Atleus… At your service."

I turned off blade mode as I collapsed…
