Chapter 259: Isabela France [Not yet edited]
On the 35th floor of the tower, Peter Christopher Martin appeared a few miles from the city he first appeared in.
Holding a spear, Peter felt like he was in a virtual reality game. For him, this was all so unrealistic, even now, it was hard to believe the things that were happening.
‘Maybe that’s why I awakened such ability?’ Peter muttered in his mind.
The skill he says is fantasy. Everything he imagines practically happens, or nearly so, is not as powerful as it appears to be. At most he manages to disguise himself and impersonate someone else, using the ‘fantasy skill’.
Until then, he used to go unnoticed and trick the living beings of the city and leave unnoticed. It was a good skill, but it had drawbacks. For example, the time he can use, even the shape.
If it weren’t for the fact that the government had put a door in front of the dungeon, he could go in and stay as long as he wanted, but it was impossible for him now.
While thinking about various things, Peter saw a girl not far away wearing a witch’s outfit, she was of average height with 170 cm tall and purple hair.
Curious, Peter watched her, and then, noticed a singularity, she was being sucked or consumed by something and without thinking twice, Peter approached the witch girl and with the hand that turned into something metallic, he pulled what looked like a leech and tried to get in behind the witch girl’s neck.
The witch girl who had previously been frozen, as if she had no life, looked back and saw Peter, her dazed eyes came alive and she bowed and thanked, “Thank you, thank you!”
“Cursed Leviathan! Damn Emperor W…”
Hearing the leech’s grumbling, whatever that is, Peter crushed it hard and that thing turned into purple and green goo, it was pretty disgusting.
[You received: 13,254 Credits]
“…” Peter was speechless for a few seconds before he managed to react. ‘How can you get so much credit!?’
“You’re welcome.” Peter was going to scratch his head, since he wasn’t used to interacting with girls, especially the one in front of him was very beautiful. But, remembering that there was goo on his hand, he stopped his hand in the air and lowered it, and turned it into water. After all the goo fell to the ground, his hand returned to normal.
“Wow! Are you also a witch?” The girl blinked her eyes and asked innocently.
“No, I’m an ordinary human, or at least I was, I have a unique ability, but I can’t just tell you how it works, can I?” Peter said as he tried to compose himself. He may be a layman but not a fool, he didn’t know the girl and wouldn’t say how his skill works.
“I see, you’re right.” The girl smiled and said: “By the way, my name is Isabela França. Can we be friends? Or at least go hunting together? I am afraid.”
“Then why did you come alone?” Peter asked while frowning.
“I have the ability to turn myself into smoke. I sneaked into the tower~” She stuck out her tongue in a cute way.
Peter felt his heart beat faster, but he wouldn’t fall for it, he wasn’t a silly man who followed impulse just because she was beautiful. But… Yes, it was dangerous to go alone, so he reluctantly accepted: “Yes, we’re going together, by the way, my name is Peter. And are you from Earth?”
“Yes, how did you know?” Isabela’s eyelashes fluttered in surprise.
“Are you speaking English.” Peter said. Before when he heard the townspeople speak, something like a translator did the translation work, but now that he spoke to Isabela, she was speaking in English.
“Oh true.” She smiled silly and said: “I’m very clumsy, I keep causing trouble, sigh~ Hope you don’t abandon me, I’m quite clumsy. I didn’t even notice that I was speaking the same language as you, although I learned English recently.”
“I understand but don’t worry. If you don’t do something on purpose, I don’t see why I blame you for anything that happens.” Peter said softly.
“Hehe~ As I thought, you are kind.” Isabela smiled and said, “By the way, I saw some monsters not far away, but suddenly I came back here. By the way, I had a woman with me, but she suddenly disappeared and I showed up here… Mm, could it be if she left when she saw me being attacked by that insect, that is, what was that thing?”
“I have no idea, but it seems to be strong and quite spiteful toward someone.” The voice was translated for him, and the original voice was macabre, very sinister, even now he got goosebumps. And from the number of credits he received, it was easy to see that it was beyond his ability to kill, but that form could be a weak physical form of that being. In any case, he didn’t want to think about it.
“Well, at least she got saved. Thanks again~” Isabela smiled graciously.
Peter blushed. He has never seen a girl with such a cute and cute smile at the same time. He felt like protecting her.
And that’s what happened for the next 15 days, and when she told him she was clumsy, she wasn’t kidding, because of her, he and she were nearly killed at least 10 times.
After arriving in town, Peter sighed and said, “Finally coming back. I thought I was going to die.”
“Yeah, that was scary~” Though she said that, she laughed gracefully, causing Peter to lose his temper and hit her on the head.
“Then, it hurts, you hit me…” Isabela pouted and said: “You were bad with me before you were so nice.”
“You almost made us die 10 times. It made me change too.” Peter snorted, but he couldn’t really get mad at her, he saw that she didn’t do that on purpose, so even when his life was at risk, he didn’t abandon her.
“I thank you for that.” Isabela was aware of her own flaws, but she didn’t take all the blame: “But didn’t that make you stronger?”
“…In a sense, yes. Anyway, let’s go back, you better not wander around freely, I’ll go back to the tower, more precisely, to the 45th floor in 1 month, hurry up and get into the power of the Fourth Order, then enter floor 45, I can at least team up with you.” Peter said slowly.
“Peter, you’re great!” Isabela was so happy that she took his hand and made him bend down and kiss his face.
With her red face ripe tomato, Isabela ran towards the tower, stumbling a few times and almost falling to the ground, leaving Peter frozen in place.
