After absorbing the remnants of the slimes' mana core, I've once again gained another useful string materialization.But before I could test it out, several more slimes popped out of the bushes and started spitting gooey acids directly at me......Axel immediately protected himself as strings surrounded and wrapped around him like an eggshell. When Axel touched the ground, strings immediately burrowed deep within.The mana slimes started jumping all over the place and continued on spitting acid, but they could not melt Axel's steel string barrier. Then, in an instant, several strings popped out from the ground as Axel's string barrier disappeared.He then jumped above while controlling the sharpened strings that just came out of the ground. Piercing through the mana slimes' bodies and destroying their mana cores.Several more mana slimes showed up again and pounced on Axel, who was floating in midair. But before they could spit acid at him, Axel twirled his body along with his hands
After obtaining the String Manifestation Sub Skill, my body could automatically reform itself and detect and prevent any harmful objects from hurting it.As I've thought, it's a passive skill.A skill that solely activates on its own, without the user's permission...........A day had passed, and me and Erza started testing my new ability. It was a bit of a gamble since I couldn't accurately tell when the subskill would turn off.Erza then continuously threw spears at me while I gulped and stood my ground, ready to receive the upcoming spears regardless of whether they would pass through me or not.But to my surprise, my body reacted and made string holes for the spears to pass through.Thus, we followed the next test immediately.I stretched my arm while Erza was ready to cut it with a sword made from her thread.I gritted my teeth while trembling, just thinking about the pain it'd cause me if my subskill suddenly stopped working."Here I go, young one." Erza stated, and she immedi
It's been two days. After we left the Great Falls, we didn't encounter any more slime. We walked and progressed our journey at a steady pace without being hindered by troubles. Erza began treating me like a child once again. Her profound kindness reminded me of my family.Yeah, how are they doing right now? Are they alive and well? I've had a lot of thoughts about whether they were also teleported separately since the light struck the three of us.But if they were transported, would they also be on this continent? I wonder....But the mystery of the sudden appearance of that strange light and how it came from the sky is still undiscovered.Erza also told me that teleportation skills don't exist. Even when I asked Nanny about it when I was still a child, she also didn't know.Teleportation.... Huh...? But that light surely was some sort of teleportation spell since I ended up being sent to this foreign continent.I need to forget about it for now since returning to Helium is my first
The Draconian Knights, led by Demise, arrived at the plains of the forest, where the previous battle occurred.Demise immediately raised his hand while ordering his men to search the surroundings thoroughly."Commander, there's not a single survivor to be seen," a Draconian knight said while taking a knee.Demise surveyed the open area filled with the rotting corpses of Draconians, Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres.The smell is completely nauseating."Barto!" Demise yelled.Barto came running immediately after hearing Demise's voice."Yes, commander?" he asked."Which direction did they flee?" Demise asked.Barto then pointed further to the eastern side of the forest, which was surrounded by tall trees. "They went that way, commander."Demise flicked his hand and dismissed Barto, while Barto ran back and inspected the corpses.Demise observed the east direction and pondered, If we go there without the mixbloods, we might find them immediately. But I'm sure those monster people are thoroughly
When night came, Almasin had ordered Magnus to gather the Beastman Scouts in a plain field outside of the Northern Gate of Asmahan.Almasin wore an emotionless expression as he walked in a dignified manner, totally calm and collected. Heading towards the northern gate.The gates opened while Almasin went outside. He noticed over fifty people were gathered, wearing dark clothing that can be hardly seen at night."Elder, as you've ordered, I've gathered over fifty Beastman scouts, and they are ready to be deployed." Magnus said while bowing.Almasin raised his hand, while Magnus stood up properly. "Good work," Almasin said.Magnus nodded and took a few steps back, standing behind Almasin while he faced the gathered beastman scouts."Tonight, you guys will be infiltrating the southern gate of the royal capital. Make sure you avoid any unnecessary conflicts and head straight towards the northern gate." Almasin spoke while staring intently towards the gathered men in front of him."After y
In which every step he took showed sophisticated confidence while showing an arrogant look on his face as he looked down on both Erza and Axel's existence with utter mockery.His entire body started emitting lava while steam seeped out from him, slowly making the coldness of the night succumb to hotness.Axel felt disregarded knowing that he wouldn't be able to land a hit on their opponent, knowing that only individuals capable of using mana coating can harm a skill user such as the Draconian Knight they're currently facing."Step back, young one; I'll handle this." Erza abruptly said while blocking Axel's front with her sword.Azard mischievously smiled while slowly burning the entire floor due to his lava dripping profusely with each step he took."Let's see how long you can last, you eight legged freak. Keke!" In that instance, Azard immediately rushed forward towards Erza, in which he appeared suddenly at Erza's front. Erza jumped back along with Axel, who put further distance bet
Two days had passed, and Mayu and Douglas had continuously run without hinting at exhaustion.We've been running for several days now. How much further could they have traveled?" Mayu pondered.I know that people who've reached the realm of the advanced stage are capable of acquiring a lot of stamina. With the help of mana, their capabilities are boosted. But seeing how their tracks are still freshly carved into the ground, I'm sure that not more than three days have passed. Especially their footprints resembled walking, just by seeing the distance of each mark they've left.Yet how come they're nowhere to be found? Could they've also been traveling at night? But a human child won't be able to travel nonstop without resting." Mayu pondered, showing a hint of curiosity."Hey, look at that," Douglas said after stopping Mayu.Mayu slowly raised her head, noticing the trees scorched to bits while burnt grass drenched the land."What happened here?" she mumbled."It seems that a huge fire
As both Axel and Erza ran with bright smiles on their faces, they unwillingly noticed that they were already outside of the forest's shade.In an open area, they stood, circling around with their heads held high, under the bright sun."We're finally out." Axel paused after seeing a man standing beyond them.Patiently standing firm in a dignified posture with his hands behind his back. His face was unclear; his silhouette was all they could see. While he exuded an aura of power and authority similar to that of a king."Who's that?" Axel asked.Erza shook her head softly and responded, "I don't know. He somehow looks like a beast man.""State your names!" The man yelled with a deepened voice, showing a hint of order."What did he say?" Axel asked, feeling dumbfounded by the man's overwhelming voice."He asked for our names," Erza whispered. "My name is Ezra, and this child is Axel." she stated in a loud tone.The man started walking towards them, only to be surprised after seeing Axel's
