Chapter 26: Elements of Nature (V)

  A dim light gradually increased its exposure due to the eyes getting used to the sudden exchange of environment, there was a continuous aurora flowing in the purple sky, the sign of returning back to the world had mentioned its bell. I could hear the sound of teleportation of myself and the embracing Luisana beside me.

  Louisiana: “Yes, I once again see and have a chance to explore the world! Uhh.”

  Being excited for a short temporary moment, the girl put her gaze on the…pile of red meats. Those were my fleshes, they started to reconstruct themselves; bones, brains, veins and other tissues were flowing into a determined mold, the mold for reconstructing my whole body. The visual of a clock was shown in accordance and in front of my reconstructing body, the hour hand and second hand were moving circularly. And, it was moving in a counter-clockwise direction.

  The clock moved in reverse, the time was moving back the time when I still breathed and all. Frantically, my body had revived and acted like this thing had ever been happened to me,

  However, the gory scene was witnessed by the girl whom is Lusiana. Her face expressed intimidation and disgust.

  Luisana: “What a scene I shouldn't let my eyes to look at. Guah!”

  Turning back and initiating an act of vomiting, I didn’t want to blame her for that expression.

  “I apologize for such a hard to watch scene if you had watched it all.”

  Luisana: “...It’s alright, alright, I guess…it was my err to look at afterall.”

  Standing there so sound and all, finally, I had landed footprints on this rough surface again. Luisana still seemed to have the face of disgust and grimace, so I put that aside and looked around the environment.

  Afar, I saw absolute annihilation caused from the battle. The prayer and non-existent dragon had imprinted their marks of actions and doings to the mountains and ground. The battle had gone far, the distance should have expanded, and that they were fighting somewhere else.

  Mountains were cut bold and there were many large holes on the ground, an indemnification of strength and magic abiding together. Strength and magic, magic and strength were things that made these messes.

  Luisana: “Debrises and rocks are everywhere. There’s also fire scorching trees around, I wonder who did this?”

  Luisana didn’t know that I am a necromancer, and I have the ability to summon the dead which I devoured. Devouring a dead body and turn it into a living corpse is my favorite one granted from atomic manipulation. My left eye, which retains my atomic manipulation ability, somewhat covered a small part of my memories from the old world, it told me which things I have in the portion. Thus, that was the reason how I knew about the summonings I had in the pack.

  “As I told you, there’s a battle going on there.”

  Luisana was continuing on her wandering attitude, she kept showing a face of fascination towards her surroundings. It was like she was kept in that realm for too long; and to be specific, that reaction made me assume that she had stayed in the domain for at least over one-hundred years to give that kind of reaction.

  Luisana: “And I guess these are your people’s doings?”

  “...”

  Luisana: “Are those people your companions? It seems like they were very distraught when you died, and so on, they keep fighting to ward off that person for you.”

  “...I don’t know.”

  Luisana: “My privilege, which is the sixth sense, told me so.”

  “That’s very scary.”

  Luisana: “What’s scary? What’s frightening?”

  “...”

  Scary assumption and that was her privilege of a girl, sixth sense. However, anyone could have thought of this so there were no surprises. Probably, I was exaggerating.

  “Ah it’s nothing, I was just trying to say that your privilege as a girl is magnificent."

  Luisana: “Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

  “It’s just a compliment, don’t ask too much!”

  Luisana: “Yeah I know, that’s what we have an upper hand over males.”

  “Ok, just don’t take that as a whole to think females are more superior than males.”

  Luisana: “Hehe.”

  Giggling, Luisana was then concentrating on something else, she was looking around in nonsensical way. The girl bursted a buff of dark trails playing on her right index finger, she made those trails blowing wind toward herself.

  Luisana: “Ahhh…it’s so much better, the hot atmosphere nearly burns my white skin.”

  Her emotion was childish when she did those things. I guess after so long staying in that realm, her mind was still in the teenage period because there was really nothing for her to develop like education and experience for real life. Or she was just acting childish for a moment.

  Luisana: “What’s the matter? Why are you staring at me like I have something strange on me?”

  “I just wanna ask, did you have a boyfriend before?”

  Luisana: “Why do you ask that? I did have a boyfriend before I got into that realm. It was such a platonic love! But as time went on, his face was fading away in my mind. I think he already had another girlfriend, well, it’s beneficial for him because I was on a deathbed. I don’t want to grasp on, so I broke up with him. It was for the good of him.”

  It’s understandable that type of personality and appearance like Luisana must mostly have a boyfriend. Because I think gorgeous girls would easily get themselves a boyfriend, and no exception for Luisana as well. I got that reminiscence from my old world to come up with that.

  Luisana: “So how about you? Do you have one?”

  Luisana suddenly gave a query that I didn’t know and also didn't wanna answer. How could I know if I had one in the old world? but…I thought I didn’t have one for sure in the old world. Reminiscence is just reminiscence, it’s vague and not clearly showing any real autonomies, therefore my answer was…

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  “Unfortunately, I don’t have one and I have never had one before.”

  Luisana: “Hmm, that’s ok, you sure will get one for yourself later.”

  “Yeah. Now it's time to teleport to the on-going battlefield.”

  Narrator’s viewpoint:

  As Kinter turned back to find the coordinates, Luisana let out a blushing face. The girl was nimbling her lips, with her eyes closed. The girl’s expression was showing contemplates of the boy in front of her, knowing he didn’t realize it, the girl with a compassion of wanting to get know to Kinter more stood still crossing her arms while still accounting the moment when she was laying on Ganz’s trunk, it was the bad of her to keep pulling herself to that so she let that aside and continued on watching Kinter’s back. But still hoping for a glinting chance.

  ***

  First scene came up was the horrendous hole craving down, the prayer flying in the air cast crescent wind radiation going toward probably Jastine down to the blind spot. Then, fire rounds were downward going up to the face of the prayer. The prayer dodge side to side continuously whilst his transforming sword in the left hand was absorbing magic particle energy from the environment.

  Phew!

  The crescent wind radiation with an incredible arc was cast with purple hue went straight down the hole. But then, it bounced back to the owner itself; the purple hue radiation was quicker than the previous, it slashed the prayer’s right arm. However, with magic particle energy, the arm slowly regenerated. The summonings have the atomic manipulation attribute of absorbing particles in the atmosphere and used them to regenerate their body parts. However, the weakness is when the brain is damaged, it would instantly be a dead call.

  Boom!

  The non-existent flew undetermined from the deep hole out with…Jastine on par with him exchanging malicious attacks. The speed of their wielding had exceeded the speed of a normal human could see, at the threshold, Jastine put an abundant weight on the attack and that sent the non-existent dragon far from the position. Upcoming, the prayer got in and the sound of swords clashing echoed. Maintaining the stance, Jastine charged an electrical element to the grasping sword, inflicting electrical damage. Hence, the convicting electricity transferred to the prayer’s sword of steel, seeing that coming, the prayer instead removed the sword from his gripping hand and with the left hand casting purple magical beam.

  Zzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  The beam was shot out in a straight line, a purple glowing beam aimed at the silent Jastine. With a sharp glance, Jastine furrowed his eyes and dodged to the side. Then, he accelerated and rushed in the air to the flying individual.

  The prayer hastily thrust at the rushing Jastine with the blade just created in hand. However, Jastine coated his right hand with a magical barrier and further enhanced it. Ultimately, he grasped the edge of the sword and exacerbated it, the sword seemingly worsened and finally appeared many fissures. Consequently, broke upon the force of the strength of Jastine.

  With no weapon in hand, the prayer took the vicious hit that seemingly fatal from Jastine and got kicked at the skull with demonic force. That weight could easily break the skull within and cause forever cognitive malfunctioning.

  At that point, I stopped looking. I intended to budge in the battle.

  “As you see, it’s a deadly battle between me and that yellow-haired guy. Those pale looking people fighting him were my summonings, I intend to join them now.”

  Luisana: “Wah…wah…what’s really happening? I thought these people are supposed to protect this world but instead they’re crushing it?”

  Luisana is a human-related from this world, she must be the fragment of this world since long ago assuming from her anecdotes. Genuinely, how can this girl have an appearance such similar to a Korean girl in my old world? Even though I lost my memories from the old world, I still remembered the names of countries. I wondered if she got teleported by any chance because it’s a high possibility for that to be possible.

  “Hmm, I had a whole different experience with these guys for myself.”

  Luisana: “Huh? Did you…do something wrong to be considered a criminal?”

  No, no, none of the opinions were corrected, it’s vice versa to be honest.

  “No, I think you should consider those imperial people for the sake of your own safety and your life when giving life for those filthy hands.”

  Luisana: “...Is that harsh?”

  It is.

  “I heard that these people brought me here because they couldn’t kill me as well as my sister. She’s on another planet on her own right now, I’m trying to get in touch with her and find a solution to resolve all of these. I know that my old world…is in danger. But I don't know if it still remains. Fuck it! I think they already…”

  Luisana: “Let’s sort this up. How can you really tell? What if the person who told you all these was trying to deceive you?”

  “To begin with, how did I end up in the outskirts of the city? Second, how could I not remember my name? Third, why did Julia and the old man try to conceal the truth from me? They all said things clearly saying that I’m not from this world but another world. Ultimately, there’s a living figure inside me said that i’m its monarch and told the exact same thing. Besides, what are those reminiscences that kept playing back in my mind? Therefore, I know this world is not where I belong.”

  Luisana: “...”

  Drowning in confusion, Luisana stood still with her face showing numerous complications in her mind. First of all, who could easily understand all of it in just a few one-sided explanations? Secondly, she…must be really shocked because those people were like the authorities or the government of their world, and the people whom she trusted now were in on the conspiracy that she couldn’t believe. Accounting for both, she was fidgeting on herself.

  “Now I’ll go.”

  Luisana: “...”

  Bursting the dusty ground, I leaped up toward where Jastine stood. Noticing of my existence, Jastine reacted with the speed of sound. The katana created from atomic manipulation had been in my right hand, the sword’s clash echoed in the air due to ours.

  Jastine: “Hmm? I killed you already, how can you stand right in front of me so sound and all?”

  Not replying to his queries, while in the stance of parrying, I kicked in his abdomen. The non-human reaction from the medieval knight had bestowed, and that made Jastine couldn’t react in time. Pushed back from the strike, Jastine stayed silent. The mark where I kicked had slowly healed leaking smoke, the remarkable phenomenon happened.

  Jastine also has the ability to heal.

  Didn’t clarify even once, the natural disaster combined of whirlwind and fire formed. He stood behind the gigantic whirlwind, but the prayer and the non-existent dragon already raised their fangs and in the motion to about thrust behind his back.

  But the thing was Jastine immediately grasped both of them necks. Squeezing with both hands, the force implementation in each nearly broke the neckbone of the two. Out of the blue, a katana getting through the midst of the whirlwind was flying in a straight trajectory to Jastine head.

  Jastine: “!?”

  Jastine immediately activated his magical barrier to stop the flying katana piercing him. However, the teleportation was in action, I held the katana whilst in the position to give a horizontal slash. Not just that, I had my summonings holding a katana readily to give a horizontal slash as well whilst being strangled.

  The crescent radiation wind was executed and let out a devious windy sound ~ The crescent radiation wind was executed and let out a devious windy sound ~ The crescent radiation wind was executed and let out a devious windy sound.

  From triple directions, the motionless Jastine whilst holding the neck of the lives in his hand was bursting out a magical barrier with the temperature exceeding over one thousand degree celsius. The wind adhered to the fire and reinforced its fierce characteristic, the fire was spreading at its peak and showing the spiral of red orange fire trails.

  The wings, the fire wings were shown beautifying the occurrence of his holy figure. An angel of fire was like the embodiment of that time. Consequently, the crescent wind radiations had been neutralized.

  “Don’t underestimate me!”

  The frames of the neck of the summonings suddenly faded away, in which Jastine’s hands were dismissed, to that extent, the summonings were given opportunity to evade the fiercely fire aura from him. The two leaped away with each katana being recreated because of the particles from the environment.

  “Synchronize with me!”

  With that being said, I came up first with the katana enchanting with my magical particle energy; yellowish color coated the edge and the tip of the katana, and the same went with the katana of the prayer and the non-existent dragon. With this enchantment, the katana was strong enough to pierce through his magical barrier. Poison kills poison.

  Jastine: “You think with that level of magical energy, you could pierce through my barrier?”

  “...”

  Jastine: “What if I keep this barrier when you couldn’t…you know.”

  Sonic speed with sonic reaction, the frozen Jastine was unaware…no, he was aware of it, of them. The upcoming attacks from T-junction were aiming at him; despite saying the magical enchantment wouldn’t affect him, Jastine was still careful with it. Yeah, he should be.

  In the next moment, all could be seen was the exchange of attacks and echoing sounds ringing throughout the sky. Jastine was trying hard to not get one touching him, deflecting and attacking, offense and defense were executed by both sides.

  To the threshold, Jastine created enough separation from us. However, it was easy to reach him due to my speed. What was he thinking? Waving his hand, the strong flow of wind pushed us afar. Enough separation for…

  Jastine: “Now taste the combination.”

  With the whirlwind combined with fire characteristic, the gigantic whirlwind was flowing and burning all things in its sight, nothing couldn’t withstand its strength and its hardcore temperature. In accordance with that, Jastine created a Tsunami and enhance it by inputting electricity.

  Such a monster, a monster from another world only could be this outrageous.

  However…

  Jastine: “What!? How did you get here!?”

  Further enhanced with reaction, not only that, my magical capabilities were increased along. Despite the medieval knight’s turtle speed, he had the magical energy indemnifying for his weakness. If he had the magical particle energy earlier, then everything would turn out differently. The medieval knight’s magic particle energy enhancing speed is his specialty. Besides authorities, magic particle energy grants the user a unique specialty mostly for the user’s goods besides magical attacks such as creating a magical barrier, fire rounds like Jastine. In this case, the medieval knight’s specialty must be enhancing speed.

  I knew that because my specialty was enhancing overall physical attributes, only the user itself could feel. With the gift given, I could earlier beat the non-existent dragon, the prayer and Julia, and without it, what awaited me was merely a defeat.

  The medieval knight’s magic energy enhanced my speed, I knew that teleportation couldn’t work because my atomic manipulation’s teleporting technique required atoms to fly through the air at a speed that couldn’t be determined. Due to the tremendous strength of the wind, atoms couldn’t push through to teleport. Therefore, enhancing my speed with the medieval knight’s specialty had allowed me to perform the leap up and down illustrating right angles at the speed that Jastine himself couldn’t see.

  And what awaited him was only his guts and crimson red blood of him being stabbed and pouring out.

  Jastine: “hahh…”

  As the tip of the sword already got through his magical barrier and nearly pierce through him; a bend of space occurred, the sword from nearly reaching his existence, at that point, was amended. With bare eyes, I could see the tip of the sword was twisted with the lines of a spiral space bending.

  “What the heck? Is this…”

  Another element, amongst the five elements of nature, was concealed and was once considered one of the elements of nature. The lost one with a legendary mystery from ancient time, a philosophical elemental itself, it was…

  Aether, another abbreviation for this word is space manipulation.
