Three months had passed, and Axel's growth grew at a rapid pace thanks to Erza's guidance.Even though they were both deviants, Erza could still not ascertain why Axel's skill became a growth type."I have never encountered anyone with growth-type skills, young one; I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge about it." Erza stated.I guess my skill as a growth type is still a mystery that I'll need to discover." As Axel mumbled through his head."It's fine, Erza. You've been helping me plenty enough." Axel replied.Erza, who was always alone in this cave, once lived a lonely life and suddenly brightened after indulging herself in caring for Axel. His mere presence made Erza undeniably happy enough to pamper him with knowledge.Axel has been growing. His mana pool has already expanded at a fast rate. I don't know if he's a genius, but most of us have had trouble grasping the fundamentals of mana expansion. Whether it was a coincidence that I'd met him, or was it destiny? I'm surely happy tha
Another month had passed. Living alongside Erza was truly harsh due to her excessive training.But in spite of that, I've grown much more than I'd expected."I had finally reached the bottleneck of the intermediate stage. One final leap of cultivating would finally make me breakthrough onward to the advanced stage."Whether I reach the advanced stage or not, Erza did not bother since expanding my mana pool was the main priority."I also learned a lot of combat techniques thanks to Erza's guidance, whether they were crude or not. Every method that Erza knew was taught to me in order to survive in this foreign land.".............."Whether it's dirty or not, you mustn't care. In order to survive within Laplace, you must grab ahold of every possible opportunity that might arise. Whether you'd be called a coward or not, surviving and winning are your top priorities, young one."Erza stared at Axel while emitting an ominous bloodlust towards him, and Axel instantly flinched as he felt Er
Chained Blades: A blade formed similar to a sickle tied with chains from its bottom handguard tilt; a weapon that was used by a fictional game character named Klaytos; a game I used to play back on earth, which was called War of Gods.It was a game based on Greek and Norse mythology.Having knowledge about my previous world sure became helpful. There are tons of weapons I've had knowledge about, excluding guns, though.Especially the curved, single-edged blade with a squared long guard that was mostly inserted in a scabbard called a katana.While it saddens me that I was unable to create the modern weapons that were popularly used in the era I lived in before dying,Guns should have been a better choice than close combat weapons, but due to my knowledge, I lack information about guns. I couldn't create a functional gun with my skills.I guess I'll just have to stick with chained blades since they're easy to control."Having trained and honed my skill's aim accuracy and skill control, t
While Axel ate his food leisurely, Erza gently patted his head and chuckled slightly.Axel raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"Erza stared closely at Axel's face and said, "Nothing, young one," and continued twirling Axel's emerald hair.While Axel didn't bother and continued eating.As Erza stared deeply at Axel, she wandered in her thoughts.For the past several years, I've lived alone in this cave, without anyone else to converse with. Looking back at how we met near the river, I remembered that I was about to travel towards Argentina at that time. But after seeing this boy's body shivering in the cold, my body moved instantly and brought the boy back here in this deep mine."Without even considering if he was sent by the Rebellion Alliance to bait me."........."Mama, why do you keep on visiting the slums?""Because there are children wandering around there without food and parental guidance.""Why do you bother Mama? It's not your problem anyway.""Listen, Erza, whether i
Another three months had passed since that day, and Axel and Erza continued their hardcore training.Axel was taught all sorts of combat techniques that Erza possessed: swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, and dagger arts.In a world where deviants like them possess a skill that can produce any sort of weaponry they have knowledge about, it was only right for them to learn each and every weapon they are able to create.Axel ran around and simultaneously shot arrows at Erza with his bow, while Erza deflected every arrow that was shot at her with her sword.Then Erza performed a swordsmanship stance and used Mana Armament.Mana Armament is a mana enhancement skill in which the mana of the user coats around the user's body and increases the user's agility, strength, and defenses.In an instant, Erza was seen rushing towards Axel, while Axel immediately attacked her with his chained blades. But amidst the blades that were aimed towards Erza, she instantly swung her sword two times, and
A decade ago, the Revolutionary Alliance, comprised of several races, seized the throne. The Draconian representative, Icarus von Augustine, immediately took the initiative to be the next Emperor. Blemished by his appealing display and candy-like words, he made the other representatives conclude their decisions to vote for Icarus to become the Emperor.Thus, after a single month passed, the Draconians began to cast away the other races and form a line that they should not cross.Monster Kins, comprised of Orcs, Ogres, Goblins, and Lizardmen, were immediately banished from the Royal Capital of Laplace. Then the Draconians conspired with the Beast people and ended up exiling them from the vicinity of the Royal Capital, which included Lown, Asmahan, Bluemoon, Terabethia, and Sigmaterrinia. The smaller cities, villages, and towns that surrounded the Royal Capital were occupied by the Beast people.While the Orcs, Ogres, and Goblins fled and lived inside the Forest of Argentina, the Lizard
Axel used his sub-skill, "String Creation," and produced a black long-sleeved modern hoodie."Phew, this really takes me back," Axel said as he slightly grasped the hoodie's sleeve."What are you wearing? What sort of robe is that?" Erza asked, confused as to what type of clothing Axel was wearing."Oh, this?" he asked as he emphasized the hoodie he wore. "This is called a hoodie.""Is that hoodie the type of robe you humans usually wear?"Axel thought of humans from earth and replied, "Yeah, I think."Erza chuckled and said, "Sheshe, anyway, it's time to depart." While she gathered a bunch of Mana fruits and covered them with cloth, she gently placed them on her back."Finally, the day has arrived," Axel said with an excited look on his face.The beginning of my adventure in this foreign land has finally arrived. I've trained my ass for this day. In order to survive this dangerous continent.*Dingggg!* "Huh?"*Assimilation in process: 94%*"Huh? What is this? I've never seen this be
"Woah, I never thought it would seriously be this dry. Even the floor has cracks. How did the Active River exist?" Axel asked as he surveyed around the Forest of the Dead, which was basically drought-free. Only dead trees grew in this barren land."The river? The place that we've met?" Erza asked."Yes, that river.""Oh, it is connected with the deep mine's pond, so it flows naturally with the help of the mana stones inside the cave.""Oh, so that's why it was still drinkable despite being in this forest.""Shesheshe, now let us continue, young one. In three hours or so, if we continue walking like this, we'll be able to reach the exit of the forest.""Then should we hasten the pace?" Axel said as he wore a grin on his face.While Erza stared at Axel intently, she said, "No, forget about what you're thinking. Let's just walk nicely."Axel wore a dejected expression and quietly followed Erza.I could just swing through the trees like Sling Man. But it'd be embarrassing for Erza to see
