Chapter 56: Another face
1787 Words
What are those visions? It’s making me feel uncomfortable. Genesis Bearer… What it really means? Seems very important to this commander.
It’s not the time to be so anxious about it. All I need to focus on is defeating this demon lord commander. In the quest, there is no statement that he is one of them. I’m a bit surprised that I’m facing a demon lord commander.
I cannot see his status. Still, I can feel that his level is higher than ours. That’s to be expected of a demon lord commander.
“Our magic seems to don’t have any effect on him… Mayu, do you have any plan?”
“I don’t really know how to deal with this guy… It’s like he purposely makes his own body hit by our magic. He might behave some magical immunity ability… He also uses explosions as his offensive attacks. His explosion is too real and I can’t feel magic from it.”
There are two distinctions of power. The first one is Magic, Magic that uses MP to be used. It’s like a miracle… For example, it can make water out of nothing. The other type of power is Skill. Skill only uses the physical energy of the user. Like Akane whose not blessed with MP. She can’t use magic, but she can use the skill as an alternative. The existence of Skills is the one putting balance in this world between the magic-user and skill user. Magic-user can only use Skills and Skill user can also use Magic. Learning both is quite difficult, I can say that creatures like me are very special. Because it’s the fact that I can use both types of power.
Making a powerful explosion from his feet. King charge toward us at an extreme speed.
Magic seems to be not working. I have to change my fighting style.
From my inventory. I change my equipment from my mage-like equipment into magic swordsman equipment. My holy staff was replaced with a long white sword and my robe was replaced by armor.
“Sword skill: Rage spike!”
It’s a basic, weak skill that leaps at the enemy and follows with an upward strike. It’s a perfect way to counter a speeding enemy like him.
Landing on the ground I then make a quick sword stance and immediately deliver my next skill.
“Sword skill: Lightning Fall!”
It’s a heavy ranged attack that involves kicking off the ground with full force and then stabbing the sword into the ground, shooting out blue sparks in all directions. 30% Physical, 70% Lightning. There’s a high chance of putting the enemy in paralysis.
I was attempting for paralysis, then followed another skill. King turned his face toward mine within his palm a spark of flame ignited. A huge sound of an explosion was heard and in my vision, everything is whited out.
He created a powerful explosion, making me blast to the ground. I roll and roll to the floor, I grabbed my head to protect it from possible damage. King was so fast he was able to chase me. He uses his right foot and stomp in the ground. At the moment he made a stomp. The floor exploded, damaging me further.
Far away from me is Sister Lily. She cast Healing magic to heal my wounds.
“Healing magic: Angel’s love.”
“Let’s see in how far you can heal your friend… Martial art’s: Combo explosions!”
King started to pound me with a continuous punch. Each punches them created an explosion power.
Being healed and being damage with an explosion. I feel like I’m being tortured in some way. But I can’t give up… I won’t give up. This is not the place where I’m going to die.
I teleport 20 distance from King. After escaping the combination attack. Sister Lily once again heal me with her magic.
“I already see it Mayu… You’re the only one who can damage him…”
“What?”
“The moment you use skill, he felt the pain, and his expression change. Look at that cut in his cheeks. It’s from the first skill you used. The physical type of skills has a direct effect on him. I’m a magic-user I can’t do anything to damage him. That’s why I will put my trust in you… Enhance magic: Hercules!”
As Sister Lily cast her magic. My body was covered with light and I feel a lot stronger.
“Energy is flowing on me… It’s some kind of boost magic.”
“All I can do is support you… do you’re best?”
“Of course I will.”
I make a sword stance and pointed my sword in front of me. I clear my mind and focus my concentration on the enemy in front of me.
Then, we noticed that King was not there anymore.
“Where did he go?”
We didn’t notice. My detection skill didn’t even trigger.
Coming from above he came falling behind us.
He grabbed Sister Lily’s hands. With his strength, he pulls her and slams her to the sturdy-looking pillar. King kicks Sister Lily in her stomach. On his feet, another explosion occurs.
“Genesis bearer… I’m not an i***t, I won’t let this girl support you with her magic. I will cut your health supply and beat you up before it was too late.
“You’re always calling me genesis bearer… What is the meaning of that anyway? What is Genesis bearer?”
“I see, you don’t know… It’s a power that can overturn this world… That’s the genesis bearer.”
In The description, Genesis bearers are said to be able to use magical power from the higher plane of existence. Is that a power from gods? I don’t really know because I never use it on my own.
“... You’re a huge threat to us… As a loyal servant to the demon king. I won’t let you grow any farther. In my eyes... The demon king is only the rightful ruler on this world.”
King walked toward Sister Lily and pull her hair. Lifting her in and revealing her worn-out face toward me.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m taking her as a hostage… Use you’re sword and cut your own head.”
“What?!”
I was stunned by the turn of events. To think that he will use Sister Lily as a hostage to kill me is very evil.
“It might be coward, but this is the best choice. Kill your self or I will kill your friend. Choose wisely…”
My hands was shaking, It’s the same as when I was on the train. I can’t do anything. Even I have my skills and level higher. IN this kind of situation. I’m very useless.
Meily dies because I wanted to survive and kill her. Kaede dies because of my ignorance. And now Sister Lily will die because of be being not good enough.
It’s repeating.
I’m struggling for nothing. I will lose another friend.
…
“Let me handle him for now… I wanted to have a feeling of the battle tension.”
I heard a voice from my head and everything goes back in white. beneath me is the pile of dead people. Behind me, someone hugs me and slides her hands toward my face.
“... Let me handle this… Let me use your body.”
“Who are you?”
“That’s cold of you? But I don’t blame you for not knowing me. You didn’t try to know me after all… I will use your genesis bearer ability. All you have to do is sit back and watch me use your body.”
As I turn my eyes to her. I saw a spitting image of mine. We look the same. So identical I feel like I’m looking to a mirror.
“What is really genesis bearer?”
“It’s hard to explain it, but it’s a power from a higher plane of existence…”
My body was then tied with chains and I got tied down. I tried to struggle. But no matter what I did I can’t use my body.
“... I’m borrowing your body for a while.”
She then smiled.
That's the last memory I have with her.
…
I didn’t remember what really happened at that time. I was asleep and I feel like my body was really tired. I don’t want to get up. I then remember, Sister Lily. That’s right, she was held hostage and I have to save her. I need to get up.
The moment I open my eyes. I saw myself in a soft comfy bed and beside me, Sister Lily is arranging the flowers in the vase.
“You’re already awake… Thank goodness.”
“Huh? You’re supposed to be a hostage… what happened?”
My head hurt a bit. I put my hand and rub it to ease hoping that it will ease the pain.
“What? You can’t remember? You killed King in a single moment. I was really surprised. After that, you just fell to the ground unconscious. I tried to use healing magic but you seem to be perfectly fine.”
“Where are we?”
“We’re in Sunnyshore city hospital. Everyone is outside. They might be coming back later for visit.”
I can’t remember anything. All I remember is that a girl with the same face as mine appeared in my head and take over my body.
What is really the Genesis Bearer? I can’t understand it.
My head keeps hurting and I fell unconscious once again.
“Mayu! Mayu! Can you hear me, Mayu?!”
