479 [Bonus chapter] You Are My Safest Shelter
“It’s someone you won’t know,” I didn’t feel like saying. She was a Selvator, not a human to know the name of Anubis or Sith.
[The soul targeted is weighed to be an enemy to you]
[Curse is going to apply]
[Curse completion… One percent]
[Curse completion… Two percent]
Unlike what I expected, that dude’s massive body didn’t hinder the speed of my curse.
From the side, Isac stood in awe and looked in curious gazes towards my Libra.
“You only need to have a look at your enemy to use it? No way! Don’t tell me it’s the tool you have to lower our stat and strength!!”
“You sure know a lot about me,” I rolled my eyes while looking at the flashing messages popping in front of my eyes.
“It’s not my fault that you are too hard to notice,” she said as if it was my fault.
“I can’t blame myself for being too hot,” I laughed and she rolled her eyes in response. “Now everything is ready, we need to wait.”
“Wait for what?” Isac asked, and I simply pointed towards the far away back, where a big cloud of dust could be seen.
“Wait for them,” I said, referring to my monsters.
I just gave them the order. And so my monsters started to flock towards my chariot. I didn’t know how the system would inform them about my location, but last time they came to me without any problems.
“What do you plan to do?” She stood by my side, standing at the edge of my chariot while looking over the far away behemoth like black mountain.
“I learnt a valuable lesson through the apocalypse so far, do you know what it is?” I said it in such a serious way.
“What?”
“In this world, strong only can be conquered with mightier strength,” I slowly said, “this dude over there might look scary and everything. But he has limits. I know that everyone in the universe has limits.”
“But… His limits are way above what we can even hope to reach.”
“Not in front of me,” I turned to look at her before adding, in a neutral tone, not overbearing, nor humble, “I am different, much different than you can even imagine.”
“…”
She stood silent by my side, while the earth was trembling under the approaching grand army of monsters. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
I waited for half an hour until a big number of monsters came here. They stretched way beyond the reach of my eyes behind my chariot. They all stood in silence, waiting for my next order.
“Last chance to find yourself a good shelter,” I said in an honest way while taking out my two glaives.
I knew my strength got evolved and my body got promoted. So I dared to try and take the two out. The light one wasn’t a big deal. Only the heavy glaive would cause me problems.
But unlike what I used to feel; both felt light in my hands. I didn’t even feel the pressure and the tension holding the heavy glaive caused before.
I… Could I now try that deadly glaive of my chariot? Or was it too early to do that?
Anyway I got the feeling that in this fight, using that dreadful glaive would be a necessity.
So I didn’t take it out for now. I left this dude for the big moment, when things were dire to try such a desperate weapon.
Just if I had skills attached to it, it would be great!
“Something tells me the safest sanctuary in this world,” she said in response, making me not know if I should laugh or cry.
The safest place was by my side? While I was fighting that scary behemoth first hand? Damn safe shelter this was!
“Ok,” but as she made up her mind, I didn’t force her away. After all I still didn’t lose hope, not even in the slightest.
I faced many foes who were rumoured to be unbeatable. Yet here I was, standing and breathing while all of them were lying cold under dirt.
“Time to see what this dude is all about,” I didn’t hurry to start my attack using monsters. Instead, I controlled my chariot and moved towards that black mountain peak at the horizon.
My monsters naturally followed, but I intended to stop just at a safe distance away. “Step aside for one sec,” as I was travelling fast, I pushed Isac aside, went to the heart of my chariot that appeared out of my will, and started to store lots of my high grade energy crystals there.
One was enough for two billion of my stat points. But I knew in this fight, even hundreds of billion wouldn’t be enough. So I took a lot, and under the shocked eyes of Isac, threw them all like they were worthless weed into fire.
“You… You know what you just used?” she couldn’t tolerate it anymore. In the next minute she blurted this out while trying to stand between me and that heart of my chariot.
“I told you, step aside and let me finish my work.”
“You… Are you out of your goddamn mind? What? Do these things look like nothing in your eyes?!!”
She seemed to know more about my crystals than I did. But it wasn’t time to negotiate such a thing.
“I had tons of these, so step aside, please,” I tried to not push her aside using my glaive. Yet it seemed my arm holding the heavy glaive trembled faintly to let her get scared.
Like a cat stepped on its tail, she jumped aside, finally giving me space to use my crystals again.
“You… Do you have a dragon grandfather in your family or what?”
“Don’t ask,” I laughed, “you saw all this and just got stirred up by these bunch of crystals? Here, take these, they are for you.”
I really had a lot of such things, so throwing out dozens of them over to her wasn’t a big issue.
As she caught them like she was catching a valuable treasure, her face told me how deeply shocked and irritated she was by my actions and words.
