Chapter 26: Chapter 26

*Fwoosh*

…

"... These memories I gained from them…"

They contained emotions… not all of them, mind you, but they have basic emotions meaning, they can feel hate, sadness, happiness, etc… their memories are now acquired by me. The real me…

"..."

I looked at my hair… royal yellow. It's a color that a royalty in a forgotten time has… I'm a clone of this family, so I don't really know why I had these color of hair, but ones thing for sure… Leus, royal yellow, forgotten kingdom, families that has royal yellow as their signature trait and hair… if you just slightly think rationally, you might realized that the place I'm gonna find is the place at where "Leus" is.

If you think about it, Leus is now a forgotten place, but the land should existed, no matter how much it changed in time, I can at least believe that it still is here… but where?... Hmm… I need a functioning map at least. I don't have memories from down to hundred years of history, rather if I do have so, I don't need a map.

…

I thought of to where to find the map and while doing so, inserted some mana into Angel… Nggn… tch, so if I use concentration, I will feel more pain…

–mmn… Good evening….

"Yes, yes… it's still late afternoon, what are you talking about?"

I asked, looking at the sword I summoned with a confused look.

–... Well, you just seem so… sad. I had to make a joke or two, or you will be more sad.

{... Was I too noticeable?... I should've hidden if well though…}

–What's with that look of trying not to believe me? I will make sure to you that it makes sense… first, I can vaguely feel emotions. And second, you seem serious, rather than aloof at this current moment, as if you lost someone…

{...}

–So… where's Suelta…

The moment he sent me that message, he stopped for a second… as if realizing something, he immediately telepathically sent a message.

–You became sadder that moment, to the point you almost wanted to cry, but your face isn't showing it… hahahahahaha… hey! You're a person right!? Show some emotion, I don't care if it's embarrassing or not… but for you… crying for our lost selves is more important than not doing so, right?

{... No… you're wrong… I should just do my… will…}... What do you mean, I'm not a person… I'm more worthless than a normal rock that is on the road…

Everything that I'm seeing here… is better than my entire artificial life. I'm just a clone, my purpose is just to do that…

–Do what?

He asked.

"You know?... To actually just make use of the most useless sacrificial lamb I know of."

I muttered lightly while summoning Cheating machinations. I turned it into a bow, and the blade started to spin around me quickly. Nggn… I'm fine…

*Tzzt*

_Hey… I finally got a connection… anyway, if you use too much concentration again and faint, you will die. That's certain… you should not use concentration for now…_

I cancelled the call.

"Why bother?... I'm just a clone."

I said to reaffirm myself while making a magic arrow… 10% of my concentration is used for this… nggn… I looked far away using my eyes… and found something strange… in which…

I started to pull the bowstring of the bow while looking at the distance…

… Found you.

I immediately let go of the string naturally as I teleported back to her home…

"I said… you're reckless!... Tch, I won't even bother explaining it to you…"

Lea, sounding a bit annoyed, made me faint by using something I had no knowledge of…

…

…

…

"... Nggn…"

My head… how much time did pass?

I look around, I couldn't see her and teleported…

"... Fireball."

I said while making a normal fireball appear In front of me… hmm… there's no pain I'm experiencing… I guess my body for now is fine?... Like it matters anyway.

–Oh… you're awake… anyway for now… you need to do something?

Yep… one full month actually passed that time she made me faint forcefully. I can tell as the ground I'm setting on, is actually supposed to be a hill, not made from wood… why are they making a town here anyway?

"Oh, who… huh? Who am I talking to?"

Vanishing step. By taking a single step, I would vanish from someone's vision, presense detection, and it won't stop until I started to be over a certain speed.

–Oh, so misdirection.

I walked slowly towards a tree… hmm… this tree is somehow dying…

I gave it 40% of my concentration before leaving slowly.

"... This tree… will be my new forest."

I lightly muttered while switching to my Angel form… I started to fly and accelerated in the air, my speed is so quick… but it doesn't matter how fast I am, but what destination I should find… I need to find that…

I glanced around everywhere while I'm still getting faster… I don't care for my body at this moment, it can burn for all I care. Nggn…

–Hey… stop accelerating, you should do a gradual increase in acceleration…

No… I don't care for your opinion Angel… if you think about it, if I just find that…

I teleported to the ground quickly.

"Where… where is it?"

I looked around this desolated town I am in… I glanced everywhere and noticed my target, I immediately ran towards a destroyed house…

"... I guess I have a use for this…"

I opened my side bag and drank one potion of wing restoration. I also grabbed a small shovel and made it big, as it's the only trait it has.

"And… dig…"

I started to dig quickly without caring for exhaustion…

–... You'll be fine… [this world… this cursed land we live in… both you and me. We'll be fine. We will die at an unknown time, but we will still be partners…]

{Partners… no… I don't think so… I… No matter what… I sacrificed both of them to survive… I can't even enter the place of consciousness… What is the point of it?... I'm lost… I can't just do something… I don't have an idea of what to do, no matter how I think… this loneliness won't just leave me alone… this… this feeling of guilt I don't want to feel… I don't like it. If I sacrificed them is a matter of time I don't want to admit… then…}

…

{I don't want to admit that I will sacrifice Angel too. It's… just a matter of time, and a time I don't know when.}

I started thinking while doing an autonomous action…

After finding what I wanted to find. I grabbed it and put it in the remaining rings I hadn't used yet.

It's a Demon sword I stored there. A demon sword called… "Reign in Light", why is the name like that? Don't know, but it's possibly because of the one who named the weapon. And this weapon… sucks. Angel and Cheating machinations is better than it, in every way at all. It's a really bad sword, and the sword I actually started with… I ignored it however as it's basically a gimmick weapon, instead of an actual weapon. {... And my money is back.}

–How so?

Basically, it's sharpness is decided on multiple factors, and 33% of it's sharpness comes from your total concentration count. The second 33% is your current concentration, and the third 34% is your will to use this sword.

–... Oh, that sucks alright.

… I'm just using it to gain 20% natural Regen.

–... Guess so.

{... For now, I should focus and do what I want to do… hmm…}

I put 90% percent of my concentration evenly on all of the rings…

–Blessing enchantment?

Yep… it should work now, after all… {I sacrificed them for this}... I have enough concentration for it.

–[... A pause?]

And done. I guess… every ring now can store 2 extra Swords?... I don't really think this is a plus, but I guess it's a plus?

Hmm… someone is trying to find me…

I teleported to leave the hole I made and slowly walked to a random pathway. As I was walking, I turned around, and walked again.

"... Where's she?"

I summoned Angel with my hand, and knocked them unconscious by hitting the back of their neck with the bottom of Angel's handle. I could do it with my hand, but I just had to use Angel… {cause I'm afraid he will leave me if I…}

–... Well. I'm quite useful, aren't I?

"... For now… let's ignore my cases of murder, and just walk away."

Angels actually have better presence detection than any other races, because this race wouldn't exist if they can't exist. So if I step too loudly, some angels might notice me, but other races won't be able to do so as well. So There's a reason why I'm being slow.

"..."

Now that I think about it… I shouldn't be fainting soon. But let's ignore that, for now…

I tried to enter the place of my consciousness…

*Ti-kn*

"Nggn…"

I can't enter… tch.

… It's annoying…

"... What's the reason for it…"

–... Well… I don't know either?

… Well as expected.

I looked at the sky… hmm… a group of angels are flying… should I meet them, or not? I'm still in my Angel form, so they shouldn't be that suspicious of me…

I focused my vision into them, suddenly they stopped for a second… I looked at their wings… it isn't connected?... What?...

–That sounds serious… disconnected wings means that… they're probably the higher ranking of Angels…

But a group of them? There's no way that's possible, right?

I switched into my demon form… hmm… I should avoid it.

I quickly made my presence thin by stepping quietly and lightly on the ground once… that's also how I activate misdirection. I make a distraction and while you're focused on that, I make a quick and silent step to erase my presence. This is basically what… misdirection has always been. {Suelta… Alter… even though you're me, I still didn't like the fact that you abused me being that weakened to merge with me… for me… feeling lonely is something I don't want to feel… and now…}

… I should bother to think later. This situation doesn't allow that.

"Isn't there a demon earlier? Where's it?"

A voice, sounds arrogant, yet also wary, male.

"Hey, don't be like that, Cross. No one cares… we only felt it. Must be because…"

I changed myself to being an Angel again and made a step. A step that can be heard, as they heard it, they looked around, confused and some of them are calm.

"... That sounds serious… you're there right!!"

A dagger was thrown towards me, but I quickly did a step to avoid it. I then made a hearable step again, as if nothing happened… I kept walking closer to them…

"Tch… stop playing around. Whoever you are, show yourself."

The one named Cross, said while glancing everywhere, as he turned around, I touched his shoulder and immediately said the following words.

"Can't even take a joke. What are you? Too serious?... Fuuu…"

I blew in his ear before jumping away as someone threw a dagger again at me.

"Cruel, aren't you."

I said calmly while I blocked another Dagger by using Angel.

"Hmm… what? You don't know me? Low rank Knight, Atleus, at your service."

I said while grabbing Cross' hand and shaking them, before letting go as I felt that if I touched him for too long, someone might threw a dagger at me again.

"... Atleus… don't remember a weakling like you-"

I vanished from everyone's vision again and knee kick the bastard, before returning to my previous position in under 1 second.

"Kuugh…"

She grunted in pain while looking at me with the clear intent to try and take revenge for what I did to her.

"Anyway, what does our High Angel's doing here, flying at this nice and quiet sky?"

I asked to change the topic while lightly pointing Angel downwards. 

"My name is Alicia… and sorry for disturbing you… we're here to help our race end the war…"

She said while pointing to a direction.

–... Wasn't it in a stalemate?... What happened?

I don't know either. I used vanishing step and immediately vanished from their vision. I then fly to the direction that girl pointed at…

1 hour later.

"... That was far…"

But in the journey, I guess my concentration is full again… anyway for now.

"What to do?"

I definitely accelerated a lot, and it still took me 2 hours to see where I am… hmm… that…

I summoned a lens and used it to artificially alter my vision.

"... There!"

The leader of the human groups… a man on a lab coat, black hair… and that's all I can see from the skies above. I switched myself to a demon and dropped down from the sky, while making 400 great fireballs at the cost of 30% of my concentration. Rain and rain, i don't care about the angels, nor the humans…

–All we want is chaos, and information about where the legendary weapons are.

"Why is the sky full of fireball-"

I fell on someone's head and made them unconscious… don't ask their gender.

–[Female]

I lightly stepped on the ground and vanished from everyone's vision while casually dodging the big fireballs coming from the sky.

Many people got hit and some of them died, the casualty is kinda even…

"..."

I grabbed the one that broke my fall and saved them once by making a barrier in 0.5 seconds. Mana barriers are easy to use, they just require you to use your concentration to make a wall of mana. Concentration, while can be made to mana, can also control mana, so it's useful, no matter what your situation is, except when you can't use concentration, in which case… you're kinda screwed if you abuse concentration like I do.
