Manasi could feel his cold sweat starting to trickle down his forehead as he swallowed his saliva.
He took a deep breath.
"The Abaddon race is very ruthless. Dealing with them is pretty awful. Absolute caution is needed. One wrong move would result in an unimaginable consequence. "
'Beep!' Beep!'
The hologram of the devices was finally turned off. Inside the room, a passage on the wall began to open.
" I believe this passage leads to the daughter of Hadem."
As Manasi contemplated what to do next, then all of a sudden, the facility began to shake. The text of the Spirit System, start to appear in front of Manasi.
'Contractor, a large group of homunculus beasts is heading here. They are moving fast.' Spirit System
"I should have expected them to come faster." He said as sweat started rolling on his forehead.
He then headed towards the passage, opened the system map. The monsters were pouring into the facility.
"Spirit System, activate [Guide] using the system energy!" Manasi said while frowning.
'Yes! Contractor, activate the [Guide].' Spirit System
This is the first time that he activated [Guide] using the Spirit System's energy.
Suddenly, Manasi's vision turned gray and his consciousness began to activate to its full capacity. He could feel every contraction of his muscles as he ran.
His thought processing quickened, scenes of possibility simulated in his mind.
"This is extraordinary! It is great!" Manasi said in admiration. He suddenly remembered something important.
"Ba'tel?"
With the quickening of his thought process. It was only now that Manasi remembered when Hadem had written something on the floor.
"It was the password."
Manasi opened the door. He could see inside the room, a hundred seemingly advanced weapons lined up on the weapon racks.
This should be the armory room, Manasi said enthusiastically, "The advanced weapons look amazing! I would surely bring them, and it is not considered stealing because the weapons are ownerless."
"....."
Suddenly...
'Boom! '
An explosion could be heard from afar, inside the facility.
'Contractor, a homunculus beast has picked up on your scent and is moving toward you,' Spirit System
'Tsk!'
Manasi clicked his tongue as he knew that sooner or later the beasts would find him. Even though his situation was dangerous, he did not back down.
Manasi bolted at the weapons racks and grab these advance looking weapons.
[Electromagnetic Pistol]
[Attack Power: 700BP] [Rounds: 10x] [Details: Strong Recoil] [Gravity Pulse Bomb][Stun effect: 1000BP] [Details: Dis-charge gravity][Sage Battle Suit][Defense Power: 900DP] [Function: Shock Absorber] [Details: Self-repair.][Electromagnetic Pistol][Attack Power: 1000BP] [Function: Single round every charged energy]Manasi only saw their names and basic specs, but not the hidden specs of the weapons, as it would require system power to identify this unknown item.
Manasi is constantly under the effects of the [Guide] causing his muscles to twitch.
"Spirit System, for now, turn off the [Guide]." Manasi said.
'Yes, Contractor.' Spirit system
Just then, his thought process started to slow down to a normal level. He could no longer feel the heavy load on his muscles. He is suddenly hit by a splitting headache. He felt dizzy. He finally felt normal again.
"Spirit System? What was that?" Manasi said, while holding his head.
'Contractor, it is the backlash when using the [Guide] and system energy.' Spirit System.
Manasi picked up the launcher and strapped it over his shoulder, holding the laser knife in his left hand and the pistol on his right.
He stares at the Sage power suit while touching its frames.
'Sigh.'
"Such a pity, it's too big for me to use. The Sage Race has a much bigger build than humans, so using it would only be a burden," he said while shaking his head.
"Spirit system, open the storage space," Manasi said as the three-foot portal began to appear next to him.
He grabs the armored suits and devices from the weapon barracks.
Then put them inside the system's storage portal.
He then stares intently at the five-meter-tall mecha.
"This thing is too heavy! How am I going to put it inside the storage system?" He said reluctantly.
"Spirit System, is there a way to bring this mecha?" He said he did not want to easily give up.
'Contractor, unless you can carry it inside the storage space, all I can do is scan the data mecha!' Spirit System
"Spirit System, please start scanning the Mech data." Manasi is quite surprised and happy when the system informs him that it can scan the mecha data.
'Contractor, complete scanning of Sage Mech.' Spirit System
"Nice!"
Without further delay, Manasi hurried out of the storage room. In the passageway, Manasi advances towards the secret room.
'Contractor, we need the Star devouring Crystal that our target.' Spirit System
Manasi nodded in agreement while he kept running, though the weapons he carried were quite heavy.
'Contractor, one minute before the beast catches up with you.' Spirit System
" I have no choice! Activate [Guide] and add the system energy "
Manasi's thought process starts to heighten. His surroundings became painted gray.
'It's amazing every time I use the [Guide], combined with the energy of the system, I feel every fiber of muscle activity. This sensation is quite addictive' Manasi thought quietly.
Even though the monster is rapidly approaching his location, Manasi dashes forward. He is very close to the last door.
Finally, he reached the last door. He was about to open the door.
When suddenly...
'Slam!'
A noise was heard from behind him, ten meters away. Manasi didn't turn around because he knew it was the homunculus beast.
Manasi could see the monster's reflection in the door. The size of the beast is that of an adult elephant with the appearance of a tiger.
"Spirit System, show me its statistics"
'Yes, contractor' Spirit System
STATISTICS
[Species: Beast Tiger] [State: Abnormal][Rank: C-Superior-Tier] [Battle Power: 799] [Elements: None] [Aptitude: Superior Instinct] [Physique: Homunculus] [Other Detail: Hidden]'Gulp!'
Manasi couldn't help but swallow his own saliva. It scared him just looking at the beast tiger's statistics.
The beast tiger advanced slowly at Manasi, step by step as if it were watching its prey.
''Spirit System, what are the chances that I will kill this monster beast?" Manasi asks the Spirit System.
'Contractor, It is possible to kill the beast tiger if the contractor's plan is executed correctly.' Spirit System.
'Thumb!' 'Thumb!'
Manasi took a deep breath, even though his heart was pounding fiercely.
"Fortunately, activating the [Guide] helps suppress any negative thoughts," Manasi said.
He slowly raised his arm into his pocket. The beast quickly sensed Manasi's movement.
The beast tiger tightened its leg muscles as it bolted toward Manasi.
'Roar!!'
Manasi, at the same time, leaped sideways, synchronizing his movements with the beast tiger as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
"Bat'el!" He said the password.
The door instantly opened, at the same time throwing the [Gravity Pulse Bomb] in a single, singular movement.
The beast tiger bite missed Manasi, instead, it swallowed the [Gravity Pulse Bomb] in place. From afar, it would appear that the beast intended to eat the Gadget.
The huge head of the homunculus beast smashed into the door.
'Boom!'
Just as the homunculus beast tiger head smashed through the door. Manasi also landed on the ground. He quickly drew his [Electromagnetic Pistol] and fired at the homunculus beast tiger's vital organs.
'Bang! Bang!Bang!'
Ten consecutive shots are fired.
However, he only managed to penetrate through the first layer of the muscles of the homunculus beast tiger and got stuck.
Manasi's face twitched. He did not expect the Beast Tiger to be this tough.
The [Electromagnetic Pistol] muzzle releases smoke as it overheats.
'Tsk!'
Manasi clicked his tongue as he threw the [Electromagnetic Pistol] aside.
Even though it was hit by the [Electromagnetic Pistol] it didn't feel any pain at all. It continued to struggle, trying to get its head out.
The homunculus beast tiger head is still stuck. Just then, the homunculus beast tiger paused for a moment. It strengthened its legs and yanked its head forcefully.
The Homunculus beast tiger manages to get its head out, but in the process, its ears are also torn off, due to the force exerted to get its head out.
The appearance of the homunculus beast tiger is quite gruesome, as it gazed savagely at Manasi.
The gushing blood on his ears slowly rolled over its face, and the lacerations on its body and face made it look terrifying. Manasi gazes, and the beast tiger's furious eyes are then locked together.
"Spirit System, activate [Guide] to its highest state!" Manasi said firmly as blood kept dripping from the corner of his lips because of the burden.
'Yes, Contractor.' Spirit System
At this point, more system energy is fed to the [Guide], which has its highest effect.
In Manasis' mind, the [Guide] activated his full survivability. It cuts off all thought processing in place of muscle memory and ultimate instinct.
[Battle Power] >>> [Battle Power: 409]
[Combat specialist] >>> [Ultimate Instinct]
In this state, Manasis' body could activate ninety-nine percent of his muscle strength.
Consequently, it causes a muscle breakdown, but it was the least to worry about, when one was on the borderline of death.
The Spirit System decision was to bet the life of the Contractor to have a sliver of a chance to live.
The Spirit System was now fully in control of Manasi's body in order to eliminate its target.
Manasi bent his body slightly while releasing a bestial sound.
'Roar!'
Time seems to have stood still.
End Of Chapter 10
Time seems to have stopped. 'I'll apologize first to the contractor and hope your body can endure the [Guide].' Spirit System Manasi's body is still in the semi-conscious self. His body only has instincts when he is faced with this ordeal. The Homunculus Beast Tiger is vigilantly eying him, preparing for its attack. Right now they are like beasts observing the movements and weaknesses of each other as if a hunter is waiting for his prey to show a small window of opportunity. The moment the homunculus beast tiger contracted just a little of his leg muscles, that was also when Manasi's body made the move. The Spirit System controlled Manasi's body as he predicted that the homunculus beast tiger would use its claws to strike and also predicted the direction of its strike, based on the movement of the homunculus beast tiger's muscles. Manasi's body uses the strongest state of the [Guide] to open up the poten
This time, Manasi is still inside the facility's lab. Manasi would not have thought that, while he was inside the facility, there would be a great battle happening at the entrance to the underground city. The battle of the Sage guardian beast that has already perfected itself as a war machine of mass destruction vs Abyssal Abaddons that have accumulated many titles over the past millenniums for being a group of psychopaths with twisted minds! A group of savages! Eater of their kinds! A group that should be condemned for eternity! .... Sage Desolate Planet. The S-ranked door leads toward the underground city. It shone brightly as if welcoming anyone who wanted to enter. At this moment. A rock could be seen trembling slightly, and then quickly, the rock's trembling intensifies. The earth suddenly trembled. A sound could be heard as if there were thousands of cavalry going to war.
Underground City Inside the facilities laboratory. Manasi could be seen sitting in the chair. His hand is limped down, while his eyes are closed tight. Manasi is mumbling something, as if having a hallucination. Suddenly, he was jolted awake. Covered in sweat, he raised his head and looked around in confusion. As if remembering something, memories start to appear in his mind, about how he was forced into a corner by that homunculus beast and the heavy injuries that he received. As the memories continued to flow inside his head, Manasi raised his hand to hold his head while gritting his teeth to endure the pain. It took him a couple of minutes to adjust himself, not even realizing that his cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. He mumbled something. "So that's what happened." Only now did Manasi realize how dangerous the situation was. Just a single lapse of judgment would result in
Manasi helped Blossom to stand up because she was not yet able to balance herself. Who knows how long she was locked up in this place. "Hm?" Manasi raised his head at Blossom, who was much taller than him. Blossom stared at Manasi with her bright eyes. She then grabbed his hand and put it on top of her head. She giggled. Manasi looked at her while smiling. 'It would be perfect if her height was a tad shorter and I wouldn't look awkward trying to pat her head. Blossom's height is two meters, while I am only 1.8 feet tall.' 'I was even thinking of piggybacking her. I'll be crushed if I do that. ' Manasi thought while sighing with a heavy heart. 'Spirit System, can you scan Blossom's statistics?" Manasi said "Yes, Contractor STATISTICS [Name: Blossom Ironforge] [Species: Sage] [Status: Healthy/Cheerful] [Rank: B-intermediate-Tier] [Batt
"Boom!" A large collision can be heard. The Abyssal Abaddons' mothership stops firing for a moment as it appears to lean sideways but soon regains its flight. Due to the gap that the Homunculus Beast Tiger King had created, there was a chance that the Homunculus Beasts would not let go. The other homunculus beast tigers bite at the rocks as they fill them with their auras, handmade into projectiles as they shoot towards the Abyssal Abaddons mothership. 'Boom! Boom! Their target is the mothership's weapon system as it explodes. The Mothership manages to withstand the attack and begins to stabilize as it is about to resume its firearms system. 'Rumble!' When something unexpected happened, the ground began to shake. In the great desert, a huge beast came out of the sand. It is the homunculus hadum dragon. Manasi, who was watching the battle, gasped at the Homunculus Hadum Dragon.
As the battle raged, Manasi grew restless."Hey, spiritual system, you know we can't just sit here doing nothing. We have to find more bodies to absorb energy. Any ideas on how to get more energy?" Manasi said he wanted to absorb some of the corpses. It is such a waste.Earlier he had been lucky to have a paralyzed beast near him, but Manasi didn't expect that to happen again. He knows that he needs to do something.'Contactor, we will have our chance. Be patient. ' Spirit System'For the Spirit System to prevent me from moving, the spirit system most likely has a solid reason. I will observe for now.' Manasi pondered over it all.He decides to keep looking at the battlefield with Blossom. Maybe he can find something good, or let the system record some techniques."Spirit system, can you copy some of their battle techniques?" Manasi said.The spirit system was silent for a moment.'Contractor, advanced and sup
"Did you just translate the Abyssal Abaddon Commander's words, Spirit System?" Manasi said.'Yes! Contractor.' Spirit SystemManasi observed the Abyssal Commander's warlord-like presence is quite threatening."Spirit System, use [Guide]," Manasi said gravely as his eyes turned gray.Then continue to look at the Abyssal Commander, who was looking at them with contempt."Human, that's an interesting power ... But am I more interested in how you got here? " The Nether Commander said, as his body began to turn red and black flames surrounded him.Manasi did not respond, as he is waiting for an opportunity to strike. The Abyssal Abaddon, on the other hand, has a thoughtful expression. His expression started to harden as he looked at Manasi."Tell me, human, did the prophets send you?"Manasi has no idea what the Abyss Commander is talking about. In Manasi's hand, an appeared as he quickly drew it.<
Sage Planet's Desolation The moment the Abyssal Abaddon Commander raises the gemstone, it shines in rainbow color. As its shine reflects on top of the Mother Ship, where the Homunculus Metal Dragon is being shackled and curbed. When the Homunculus Metal Dragon at the top of the Mother Ship was being scanned by the rainbow light, its sleeping eyelids tremble for a moment, then it opens wide. As it awakens and slowly arouses. When it was completely up, it shook the chains for a moment, then it heaved the chains that locked it up. It then forcefully yanked the chains that are connected toward the Mother Ship pillar of irons. It uprooted the base of the four pillars. As the four pillars collided with the Mother Ship frame, they exploded. The Homunculus Metal Dragon moved its legs slowly, as the metal chains connected to his ankles started to form cracks as they dropped. "Bang!" The chain lock
After that great battle against the Calamity Tortoise and the Leviathan, Manasi suggested using the shell of the Calamity Tortoise as material to reconstruct the Amber City.As Ben had found out, the shell of the Calamity Tortoise was the hardest material he had seen.Even the materials on his home planet paled in comparison.When Empress Shenna and Princess Anna heard the decision, they also suggested changing the name of the Amber City, and to Manasi's dismay, the new city would be called by his surname, "Shalom City."The Shalom City would be the very center and safest stronghold of humanity.Hence, he planned to expand the Shalom City ten times more than the Amber City, and the walls would reach a hundred meters tall.A wall that would be purely made from the Deity stage Calamity Tortoise.It had to be mentioned that Ben had used the combination of the Leviathan's thick skin and the shell of the Calamity Tortoise
They had used everything they had. They had run out of options to stop the Leviathan from wreaking havoc on Amber City.Despair could be written on the faces of the civilians."Manasi, where are you..." Blossom could be seen with a pale face as she uttered that while clenching her fist.When everything seemed so hopeless, there was always a light that shone in the darkness.From the carcass of the Calamity Tortoise, its back abruptly erupted, then there was a flash as a silhouette of a man arrived right before the Leviathan charge connected to the Amber City defenses.Little Autumn and Blossom were the first to recognize Manasi, as they were the ones with the highest level in the group.Then, at almost the same time, they shouted."Manasi!""Brother!"......Manasi had just finished absorbing the Calamity Tortoise
Seeing the pitiful action of the second enormous being that was pushing its head toward the huge tortoise creature.As if waking it up, made Ben and the others understand that the battle was far from over."Ben, how many more charges can the Sky Arc fire?" Don Alfonso asked solemnly.He could predict what the octopus-fish like creature would do next.Hearing that, Ben gritted his teeth."Three... No, at most four charges... before the weapon system shuts down."At this very moment....."Rwwrrrr!!!!!"The Leviathan let out an earth shattering roar, filled with rage as it discovered the Calamity Tortoise was dead.The Leviathan's green eyes gazed at the Amber City with animosity.Then the surrounding waters start to rise, wave after wave coming bashing at the walls of the Amber City, crumbling it apart.Seeing that the Amber City was about to be submerged by the waves, Little Autumn, in her
"Hmmm?"Manasi saw the sky blue and brownish clouds of what seemed to be elemental energy that was gathering.Because of its density, it was about to liquify.[Contractor, hurry up and absorb that energy before it disperses, as it came from the final heart of the Calamity Tortoise.]With that being explained, Manasi deactivated his buffs.As his body strength returned to normal, he could then start absorbing the elemental energy with peace of mind.Although that elemental energy was not suitable for him.However, because of the Spirit System that was filtering that elemental energy and converting it into a non-elemental form of energy.Manasi could now easily absorb that energy into his pours.He then took a meditative position, as he had to concentrate and, at the same time, he was submerged by the cloud of energy.His power was noticeable, being raised to its full potential. He could even sense
From the birds' eye, a shockwave that was way bigger than the mountains that were stacked together could be seen heading toward the Amber City that was enveloped by the lightning barrier.At the same time, Ben had positioned the Sky Arc in hopes of preventing the shockwave from passing through, and Little Autumn was already ready to give her all to defend the Amber City.Ultimately, the shockwave arrived as the banging sound of the impact as it struck the lightning barrier, as cracks emerged like glass and scattered into the air.At that very moment, no one knew that a miracle would happen when the lightning barrier collapsed.While the parents were covering their children in their arms while foreseeing their impending doom.However, there was only silence, as the second enormous shockwave that they expected did not come.The little girl in her father's arm peeks out her head."Father, there's no more "waves"..." She
The Calamity Tortoise had no more options left. It had to quickly restore its life essence before the being that was destroying his insides found his heart.With that, the Calamity Tortoise charged at the lightning barrier of the Amber City, at the same time being bombarded by projectiles.However, it did not stop the Calamity Tortoise's desperate charge.Seeing that, the people of Amber City gasped nervously. Even the Empress that was watching from her palace couldn't help but crush the armchair she was sitting on.At that moment, the Calamity Tortoise head connected to the lightning barrier.'Boom!'The impact almost shocked the foundation of the Amber City, but fortunately, the Calamity Tortoise's second attempt was futile, as there was no apparent damage to the barrier.The Calamity Tortoise staggered backward while shaking its head from the impact.It was confusing how the thin barrier was abl
A series of explosives echoed in the air, and the moment the missiles hit their target, the blue liquid inside of the missiles boiled.As it released an intense ice element, causing the left side of the Calamity Tortoise's face to freeze.Making it impossible for the Calamity Tortoise to open its jaws.At this time, a group of rangers came out of the groves, dashing like lightning toward the caravan.Rolf was shocked to see this. He had no idea if these guys were enemies. He was about to fire a warning shot.Just then, he caught a glimpse of a logo of the Amber City on the man's chest.The man then grabbed Rolf's shoulder."We don't have time." This man was a Ranger of the Amber City. He then dropped a disk that created a diagram.Before Rolf could understand what was happening, they were about to be teleported away.He also saw men with the same logo of the Amber City setting a disk on the pe
The red trees of the forest start to violently shake, and smaller hills collapse. Cracks can be seen forming on the surface."Screech!!!""Rwwwrrrr!!!"The hawks and wyverns that lived in those red trees and caves flew away as they sensed a horrifying monster was heading in their direction.Behind a mountain gorge, a gigantic foot came crashing down, flattening the red trees while leaving a massive pit in place.Finally, the Calamity Tortoise was fully revealed.The Calamity Tortoise's tired eyes shone as it saw the hawks and the large wyvern flocking together as they flowed away.The Calamity Tortoise stretched its long neck and opened its maw, as a whirlpool emerged, sucking the air in its throat.At this moment, the frantic hawks and wyvern sensed the airflow was drawing backward.Then, out of nowhere, a strong suction force came out, pulling the hawks and wyvern t
Looking at his daughter, Rod displayed a slight smile. Beside him was an old woman with grey hair.She was wearing a lovely dress. This was Shiela's grandmother.He was also beaming as she witnessed her granddaughter's bravery.The camp's wooden, metal plated door was suddenly pushed open as a man raiding a muscular horse, a breed of warhorse, came rushing in while his forehead was covered in sweat.He was heading to the center of the camp. There was a large tent with golden lines that could be seen.At this time, the new recruits that were training halted their movements as they looked in confusion at the man that was riding on his black horse that was passing by them."Stay focus! Stay focus!" Rod shouted at the new recruits."Yes, sir!" The new recruits resumed their training.Then Rod and Shiela gazed at the man who was heading towar
