I can't track the mana from the spider. No it's not that rather I can't track anything, It's as if all the mana residing in this cave have been dissipated. It's not that the mana in this cave is gone, the mana is everywhere
No don't tell me.
Zōí is behind this.
His mana seems boundless.
mana leaks out of him with every stride he takes. I got a long way to go if I want to even match his monstrous strength.
"Huh what's this". Said a mysterious voice.
"Looks like the bastard can talk". Said zico
Magic beasts need a certain power level to talk.
If I had to put a number on him I would say his power level is at the very least 50000
Teacher fucked us up.
No it's not the teacher but rather
"Good job messing up the power reading gandel". Said Ures.
"Those bastards won't make it out alive".
Gandel.
"YOU BASTARD".
We were never supposed to win, it was a setup from the very start. If that bitch wants to kill us, he will have to try a lot harder than that!
"Zōí hurry up and kill him".
"Yes my liege".
*whoosh*
Wow, he disappeared in an instant.
All I can see is 2 lines of mana bouncing off each other.
*cling*
*clang*
Their movements are impossible to track. If I got involved I would be defeated in a second.
"Sepsis, who the fuck is that". Said zico with his voice fainting.
"That is someone who we will never surpass, The warrior Orion's right hand man, Zōí, the life bringer"
Something isn't right,
What I am so confused about is,for someone who is Orion strongest soldier, why is he taking so long.
Shouldn't this fight be over by now? Could it be that I am too weak? Does he not have the same strength as he did 1000 years ago?
Why did it go quiet all of a sudden, is the battle over? Did he end the battle in an instant?
"Here's it's head my noble king".
He took out that beast with little to no difficulty, a truly divine warrior.
"Emerge"
Why won't my emerge skill work? Is it because the difference in our power is too vast? Oh well it doesn't matter.
"SEPSIS HELP ADELA OUT".
Shit shit shit! She's bleeding out, what do i do.
"You find their heart beat".
"And I can now pull the arcane energy outside of you into a orb".
"You are immortal and unlike zico power to destroy, you have the power to create".
"So now".
"Look I am all healed up".
This has to work.Pull arcane energy from my heart beat, and now.
It's not working.
fuck, fuck, fuck.
"ZŌÍ HEAL HER NOW".
"Yes my king".
*shwiiiing*
Thank goodness, her left side of her body is starting to heal up, her mana level is back to normal.
She is still unconscious though. No matter, so long as she is alive and well that is all that matters. There was no casualties but even still, the fact that we could've died if it wasn't for Zōí is a serious problem.
"Zōí I want you to protect her no matter what.For the time being I want you to imbue all your mana into her body and if she is in danger, you will protect her like your life depends on it. Understand"?
"Yes". He hesitated.
"Zico get off the floor, we are leaving this god awful place".
Looks like vita gladius is gone for the time being also, that figures since he was the sword.
"Then heal me, My leg is at one side of the cave and my arm is at another".
"Just reattach them, no biggie".
"I CANT DO THAT".
"ok then bye".
Looks like I have to carry Adela.
Up we go.
She's really light now that I come to think of it and unlike these royals, she doesn't stink of blood and corruption. She actually smells really nice, it is very refreshing.
Oh well, it's time to head out
"Coming Zico"?
"HEAL ME"!
"Alright, no need to get all angry with me or you might lose a leg".
"Hahaha so funny?
There is the portal back. Time to leave this place.
Ah the light is so bright, my eyes hasn't adjusted from the darkness in the cave.
Adela is top priority.
"Miss can you take Adela to the infirmary".
"Yes of course".
"Grendel, how did they escape"?
"I don't know, the mission was supposed to be upper B rank maybe even A rank, they shouldn't have come out alive".
"Gandel, if you ever harm Adela and put her life at risk, I will kill you, That is your first and last chance".
"Gandel why do you look so shaken up? what did he say to you".
"Let's leave him alone but Adela on the other hand won't be so fortunate".
In the infirmary
"Princess Adela, are you ok".
"Yeah I am fine".
"Your lucky that boy brought you back when he did or otherwise we might not been having this conversation".
"Sepsis saved my life,and also healed my wombs, Thanks sepsis".
Adela is fine right?
There is nobody in the world that could harm her.
Zōí is watching over her anyway so there is no need to worry.
It's a shame I couldn't make that spider part of my undead army.
Unfortunate but it happens.
"Excuse me sir".
"Is there that magic power level orb thingy I can use".
"Yeah down the hall to the left".
This castle is impossible to navigate.
Oh I found it.
And it's a lot bigger than the one we use at school.
To think that there is a whole room dedicated to this shit.
So This is where our tax money went to.
Huh,
What does it mean "power level 3200".
How have I gotten weaker.
I understand vita gladius is powerful but I didn't think it would give me such a boost.
*Sigh*
"I don't think I will ever get strong".
"Sepsis what are you doing here".
"Oh hey Adela it's nice to see that your okay".
"Thanks for saving my life".
"You saved my life earlier when I was about to die from those knights".
"Think of this as me owing you one".
"Wow 3400, that's amazing sepsis".
"Not as impressive as before".
"Let me check out mine".
Shit.
Zōí is going to destroy that orb.
That orb won't be able to handle the amount of mana that's going to be absorbed.
"I don't think that's a good idea".
"Here I go".
*crack*
*CRASH*
She didn't move and had a blank stare on her face, I would be to if I had just destroyed an ancient relic.
Mages over the years has spent their time refining and strengthening the orb all for it to break and Zōí destroyed it in an instant.
"That orb was in our family for generations".
"Anyways".
Anyways is her response for a century old relic being destroyed? I understand that she is a princess and all but surely this is getting out of hand. I would get punished for dropping the rice on the floor when I went to the market and this orb is thousands of times more valuable and she is so nonchalant about it.
"Have you studied for that big test we have tomorrow"?
Test tomorrow? When did the teacher assign us a test?
Flashback
"You have a test next week on magical history and beasts"
I wonder what would win in a fight, 100 duck sized horses or one giant horse sized duck
"Yeah I didn't study".
"Well for this one occasion only, I will help you study".
"Hahaha".
"Why are you laughing"?
"It's nothing, I like seeing you smile that's all".
"Stop flattering me and let's get studying".
1 hour later
"And that is the different types of orcs and trolls".
"Huh he fell asleep".
"I must've rambled for too long".
"Good night Sepsis".
"Goodnight. Adela".
"He truly is one of a kind, one day he is saving my life and the next he is sleeping just before a test".
When did it become morning, crap I must have overslept when I was studying.
SHIT I AM LATE.
Where is Adela? She surely couldn't have left by now. This castle is so big it is almost impossible to find anyone
"~~~~".
That's Adela voice, never thought I would be saying this but I am thankful that she has such a loud voice.
"ADELA CAN YOU PLEASE TELEPORT US TO SCHOOL".
"you know I am not some mode of transport".
"I know I know just please, I am going to be late".
"Fine".
"Thank you so much".
*whoosh*
"There you are at school".
That ability is so useful, if I could do that I would be waking up late every day but I can't complain, after all I am immortal.
"Let's head to class sepsis, we have a test remember"?
"How dare he walk into class with Adela".
"That bastard deserves everything bad that ever happens to him".
Maybe I should've came late. I now got so much unwanted attention. If they want to speak to Adela, by all means go ahead I am not gonna stop you but please stop dragging me into this every single time.
"I hope you have all studied for the test".
All the information she taught me went through one ear and out the other, maybe I should've payed more attention in class, this is why school isn't for me.
"I hope sepsis does well, If he doesn't score a 50 on this test, he will be held back. I wonder if he is stressed or not".
Could pasta beat rice in a fight because I think pasta with it size would just crush rice but rice is more durable, close battle.
"Here are your test and your time starts now".
What the fuck am I looking at.
All I see are words on a page.
"Master"
Zōí?
"The answer for the first one is grand drava".
"Won't the teacher be able to hear you"?
"Only when I am fully manifested, in this state only you can hear me".
"The next answer is blue fluorescent elfen".
"And the next is orc marshal".
This carried on until I eventually finished the test.
"Hand in your test papers before you leave".
"How did you find it Adela".
"Yeah with you being this smart, it must have been a breeze".
"Relax guys all I did was study, and besides the test was pretty hard".
She really is popular
"Sepsis hand in your test".
"YES MAM".
"Hmmmm".
————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Wow Adela, aren't you famous".
"That's what happens when your father is king,people love and resent you".
"Sepsis I have a question".
"Yeah what is it".
"Do you notice anything different about me".
"Ah yes, your hair has grown 0.2mm over night".
"No I am serious!".
"Is my mana different",
It is completely different.
"No it is perfectly fine".
"My body feels lighter and stronger than before".
"I got another question…".
"Why is she looking away from me? Is she embarrassed to say something?
"Sepsis".
"WILL YOU PLEASE GO ON A DATE WITH ME"!
I was not expecting that to come out of her mouth
