Novel Full 73 Not so useless afterall
*ZZZZZINNNNG*
I found myself taking a step out of what looked and felt like a portal.
Taking a step out, I place my right foot on the ground below before placing my left foot beside it, allowing me to fully leave the portal and no longer be submerged within its spatial distortions.
While I knew that it was very unlikely that the portal of the being that rules this world would suddenly collapse onto itself, I knew that the chances weren’t zero so I always felt a tinge of anxiety whenever I moved through them.
It was as if something was watching me from the deep stretching space around me as I moved through the portal, making it feel as if a single blink from it would cause the entire spacial tunnel to shake to the point of shattering into a million pieces.
Having left the spacial tunnel, I could not help but let out a sigh of relief as I finally felt the ground under my feet once again.-.
After a few seconds of seemingly recalibrating my body to work once again, I stepped forward and strolled to the exit of the cave, too fatigued to try and hide my presence and make it a surprise when I left.
‘The system said that I would get a complete rejuvination, yet that only seems to have meant physical rejuvination rather than mental. My psyche had taken a toll after fighting one life or death fight… How pathetic! I could have went 3 or 4 times before, yet now I am feeling this tired just because of one life or death battle?’ I gritted my teeth but I knew I could do nothing.
The best way to strengthen someone’s will was to fight more and more life or death battles, and even though I had fought in one today, I was unsatisfied with my current stamina.
With these thoughts running through my mind at unimaginable speeds, I finally took a step into the outside world and lifted my head with gritted teeth, trying my best not to spit on the floor with anger.
However, the moment I lifted my head, my eyes naturally landed upon a mountain of corpses that consisted of almost everything from insects, and dog-like beasts as well as several felines. If that was not enough, I could see two other beasts laying on the ground with lifeless white eyes as they released an aura that was only something one would see in beings within the high mortal realm.
‘What would the elves and the other settlements on this planet call these realms? I know that Blanca called them that too, but I doubt those were the real terms. Wait… What am I thinking? There is a mountain of corpses here, some that were most likely in the higher mortal realm, yet the first thing I think about are grades of power?!’ Shaking my head fiercely, I tried to get the thoughts out of my mind and think of what was truly important at that moment.
*Schhttttshhhh*
Suddenly, I saw a white beam of light shoot through the forest and completely incinerate everything with its path from the trees to the ground the beam had landed on.
The power being released by the two titans that had begun to fight was enormous, I could feel my arms instinctually shaking in the presence of these creatures, but not in fear.
My arms, legs, and almost every muscle that could be used to fight with screamed at me to go and fight those creatures all by myself, yet while this bestial desire seemed proper and reasonable in my eyes, I was not stupid.
I knew that fighting them would almost immediately indicate death, but watching did not have the same implication.
With excitement and adrenaline running through my veins, I felt my body crash against the winds and appear on a tree far above them in altitude before crouching down and staring at the fight that was ensuing below.
From what I could see, there was a bipedal figure that seemed to be a little shorter than me in height moving around and dodging the attacks of a brown-furred gorilla that was kicking up dust in the wake of their attacks.
However, while the power of the gorilla might have seemed formidable to someone like me, I could see that the bipedal being below was moving around with leisure, evading and dodging with the grace of a butterfly.
Eventually, however, a cold and calculating aura shot out of the bipedal who I had finally identified as a Blanca.
The aura was suppressive to the point where it almost felt like a physical wind, making several trees around it begin to blow back due to the intensity of the winds.
Within the blink of an eye, Blanca moved across several dozen meters and appeared in front of the gorilla, bloodlust now being released out of her body while her eyes seemingly pierced through the very soul of her enemy.
*BOOM*
The gorilla was catapulted back as it destroyed several trees in its path, every single one of them toppling over the other in a demonstration of destruction.
‘It’s not dead.’ I thought to myself, my eyes narrowing towards the gorilla that was still tumbling heads over heels.
After a few seconds, however, the gorilla seemed to have stabilized itself, stopping its momentum and forcing itself to look up at the creature that had attacked it. In the distance, it could see a beautiful woman walking toward it with a sinister smile on her face. Every one of her movements indicated that she was relaxed, yet the bloodlust that was coming out of her at that moment told a different story.
To my surprise, the once prideful gorilla immediately turned around and began to flee, but right before it could do so-
*Swoosh*
*BOOM*
A black figure shot through the forest at speeds I could not follow without using blood eyes before appearing above the gorilla and landing a devastating blow that would have killed it 3 times over.
As the body of the gorilla fell down into a puddle of its own brain matter and blood, Blanca finally looked back and glanced in my direction with a seductive yet relieved smile.
‘Well, at least she isn’t useless to the degree I thought she was.’ I let out a soft smile as well before jumping down the tree onto other branches, and eventually reaching the ground and creating a crater the moment I touched it.
