Chapter 303: Battling Two System Hosts (part 3)
Compass Carburettor arrived within Jionerd's space, observing the mutated beasts that he had obtained, "They are pretty powerful, as expected. But unfortunately, I don't have the means to use them."
He condensed an energy blade hand that grabbed hold of all three mutated beasts, crushing them, leaving them in a semi-dead state as he summoned Dita, allowing it to swallow them whole.
After he sent it back, he condensed its ability, one that formed a helmet on him. And at the same time, he also condensed Golda's ability, fusing the two as he aimed it at the space, unleashing the desired effect.
Plunder!
"Dammit!" He grunted, having only plundered half of its Mental Energy reserves, missing the rest due to the nature of Young Master System in that it was a dispersed ability. Also, it was because the Coincidental Luck System's support was barely there this time for some reason, only enough to not make him unlucky.
But, it didn't matter, for he was different from before, immediately using Plunder a second time. This time, he succeeded in plundering the rest of the Young Master System's Mental Energy, causing it to become defenceless.
But, he couldn't waste time, for once it recovered, it would be able to hurriedly borrow Mental Energy from the Astral Network. Until now, the two bullets he had shot into it were what had severed its connection to the Astral Network.
Exiting Jionerd's space, Compass Carburettor enveloped the other party in a layer of energy blade, shaped into a sphere, bringing it with him as he condensed a pair of turbofans behind them, blasting off towards Zach.
The Dust Wave took action, destroying through the layer of rock, creating a straight path to Zach. Before he arrived, he already lodged another bullet into Zach's body, preventing the Reality Marble System from taking action.
Due to its high Mental Energy reserves, there was a better chance of it escaping. Compass Carburettor condensed an energy blade hand, shattering Jionerd's head into pulp as his corpse was dropped near Zach.
His figure vanished as he appeared within Zach's space, causing Dita to swallow all the mutated beasts within before he used Plunder almost ten times before managing to plunder all the Mental Energy of the Reality Marble System.
He then returned to reality and killed Zach, but their Systems had yet to come out for him to absorb. He was still within Reality Marble as their figures turned into marble before disappearing, suddenly appearing somewhere else.
Zach and Jionerd gazed at one another, drenched in cold sweat, having revived. But, they hadn't even managed to take a breather when their bodies began to disintegrate rapidly due to Dust Wave that now wholly targeted them.
They died within a second, lacking anything to defend themselves with.
After that, they continued to revive constantly as Compass Carburettor noticed the power within Reality Marble being expended rapidly. But, he was somewhat worried, for it was taking too long.
The two Systems were bound to recover any time now. And once they did so, they would hurriedly replenish their Mental Energy reserves. It'll bring the situation back to square one.
"I guess there's only this option!" He shouted in the end, unleashing a torrent of Dust Wave that regarded everything in the place as an enemy, rapidly destroying the Reality Marble, allowing the three to return within the aircraft.
His heart trembled in tension as Compass Carburettor used every ounce of his abilities to barely destroy Zach and Jionerd, almost at the same time they recovered. Thankfully, before they could establish a connection to the Astral Network, their Hosts were killed.
As he saw the bodies of the two Systems appear as smoke, Compass Carburettor first filled the entirety of the aircraft's interior with Dust Wave. And, he targeted the Elf as an enemy.
This way, even if the Elf ambushed him while he was battling the two Systems, it would buy him some precious time.
This was also the reason he was expending a lot of Mental Energy to make the massive aircraft travel at supersonic speeds while making it change routes constantly. This was to prevent the Elf from predicting his route and teleporting to the location beforehand.
This time, he caused a lot of commotion, enough for the two Systems to give an essay of his actions in the Astral Network.
He was unsure as to how long magical abilities took to actuate, especially complex spells like teleportation whose destination continued to change in real-time. So, he was using the superiority of the technological product over magic, in that it worked at the push of a button and was capable of attaining insane speeds.
Had he possessed Rhizen's third mutated beast ability, he could have replicated a practical rocket engine through his Mecha. That way, his speed would have to be measured in terms of kilometres travelled per second.
After arriving within the world of his mind, Compass Carburettor didn't waste any time interrogating them, for he didn't have the leeway, since he was facing two Systems now.
Young Master System was actually a humanoid that seemed to have prominent features of various humanoid races: ears and hair of an Elf, eyes of a Human, horns of a Demon, scales of a Mermen, etc.
Every action it took suffused with unbridled arrogance. That seemed to be an integral part of its nature. In contrast, Reality Marble System looked like a slime, transparent like glass, reflecting and refracting light as it deemed fit.
The moment they appeared, they gazed at Compass Carburettor's figure with hatred, intending to pounce upon him and devour him. At least, turning into a System Slayer was better than death.
But, upon seeing three worlds calmly floating behind him, they stopped in shock as the Young Master System shouted in fluster, "T-Three…Three Personal Fragments? How the heck is this possible?"
"Have you already become the Main Character?"
"I'm not even a True System Slayer yet." Compass Carburettor replied as a hail of bullets slammed from Earth while energy ropes emerged from the Darble World, constricting the two Systems. And finally, the Apocalypse World began to unleash the Dust Wave.
All three targeted the two Systems as a war ensued between both sides. Of course, with the current reserves that Compass Carburettor possessed, he firmly defended himself while spamming attacks onto his foes, gradually wearing them down before destroying them.
"The ending of…every System Slayer…is one of…tragedy." The Reality Marble System weakly muttered as it was annihilated, "And…you'll be…no different."
"Tch!" Compass Carburettor clicked his tongue, returning to reality as he noticed something was amiss, observing his aircraft gaining altitude for some reason. He hurriedly turned around and noticed the Elf standing atop a flying sword and pursuing him, actually gaining in on him.
Moreover, it was using psychokinesis to slowly affect the aircraft's trajectory, increasing its altitude so that the low pressure of the air at higher altitudes would reduce its speed.
"So, it was actually waiting for me to refine the two Systems to take action against me?" Upon realising it, he scowled in response, immediately noticing that he had a severe case of headache, having been in a terrifying battle, not to mention refining two Systems.
As the information about the two System Fragments gushed into his mind, Compass Carburettor felt his consciousness waning in response, "Shit!"
