Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 25 - Becoming an Audience
Liu Xiu was still running and jumping from one branch to another. Sometimes he ran, through thick trees or even through thick shrubs that blocked his path.
He was already used to the unpleasant feeling of Dari Magic, but this time it was different.
("It feels like fighting a black being made by the Church! Ughhhh... I don't know if this forest will survive..") Liu Xiu thought as he continued to spur his legs to run faster.
He slightly recalled the events when he and Edna were together, fighting the black monsters and Seven Knights.
When he killed his mother.
Liu Xiu recalled how he could not even properly bury his mother. Even what was left of him was a blue pendant, like the raging ice of the day.
"This is also one of them, is it?" liu Xiu whispered softly as he held the necklace on his chest.
The necklace is black, with a chain pattern that is quite terrible, but with the shape of 2 rectangular pyramid upside down. It's pretty awful, but it's also beautiful from some sides.
All this time Liu Xiu had hidden the necklace in his clothes, and it was only visible if he was bare-chested.
Fortunately, Rhion did not ask what the necklace was about. Probably not interested.
But clearly, Liu Xiu could not take the necklace off just like that. Even if Liu Xiu was hanging upside down, or trying to pull the necklace with all his might, nothing happened.
"If the current event similar to the time it happened back, would I be able to protect the others?" liu Xiu asked quietly, holding the necklace with his right hand.
He was silent for a moment, when the unpleasant memory memory started to enter his head.
"Well! There's no point thinking about that! Most importantly, I need to be informed. Who casts this much and such magic? At least that would be the key about the Church and the Cult!" liu Xiu said firmly.
He kept running, down the forest while continuing to feel the magic and the increasingly tangled mana flow in the forest.
Everything went well, until.
WHY!!!
Liu Xiu's [Critical Perception] skill reads!
It made Liu Xiu startled for a moment, but then he realized, before him was a hand-grip-sized stone that led to his body!
For a moment, Liu Xiu thought. Why would a stone like this ring his emergency skill, and he prepared his little dagger.
And when Liu Xiu quickly split it...
BOOM!!!!
"HWAAAA!!??" liu Xiu's screams slightly disappeared swallowed up by the sound of that enormous explosion.
The ground where Liu Xiu had originally stood disappeared leaving behind a smoky, dry, ruined ground, and some trees also disappeared. Some withered, and some even disappeared without a trace.
"Thuk uhuk! What the fuck is that? That's horrible! My body would be destroyed if it was hit by it directly!" liu Xiu shouted slightly in disbelief.
Although he would not have died immediately from the attack, it was still very dangerous.
Even an Elf would lose some parts of its body, if the existing magic protector was not too good.
It was already very close to the magic center, but there was an obstruction like this that brought Liu Xiu to a standstill.
But there are some strange things.
This forest was very quiet, even the sound of crickets or mosquitoes not passing by at all, even Liu Xiu could also see some monsters running in fear and fleeing towards Liu Xiu.
"What's really going on?" liu Xiu oelan asked, looking around, examining him once more. But no matter how hard he tried to find good things, there were bad things that kept appearing in his eyes.
"But in any case, I have to hurry-" Liu Xiu couldn't finish said he. Because the moment he turned around, hundreds of thorns similar to the one Liu Xiu broke were floating!!
"HIIY!!" Liu Xiu shrieked softly, knowing that a very near death was before him.
That way, Liu Xiu could not hold back anymore. Using his strength, he opened the first gate to drastically increase his physical abilities, and crushed the thorns one by one, then immediately moved away before the thorns exploded.
Liu Xiu could indeed become extremely fast and blow everything up, but...
"YAHOO!!! THIS IS DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE!!!" liu Xiu shouted as he looked up at the sky, and found that the thorns did not decrease in number and were increasing.
With a slight shout, he changed the strategy to escape.
Running is easy. But estimating where he should run is a different matter.
While continuing to look behind him, Liu Xiu escaped from the thorns that blasted him with a sound like war with gunfire or explosions where.
It lasted a few minutes, until Liu Xiu finally found the limit of using the magic, and waited there while observing the circumstances.
"It's really terrible magic. Where did the owner of this magic cast a spell? And again, how many Fehl does he have?" liu Xiu thought as he folded his hands, looking at the large circle of forest that had already started to turn into a dusty field.
Moments later, the rain of explosive thorns began to stop. Liu Xiu began to continue on his way.
But now he is not focused on walking straight but rather walking a little twist while focusing on watching the surroundings, including changes to where in the air or Fehl belongs to others.
He circled around the dusty circle of land, and moved towards the deeper forest, but remained on the edge of the blast site.
Wh why? Because he felt an uneasy feeling from this direction, so Liu Xiu concluded that the magician was there.
However, it was only for a moment, because...
"What the hell is that?!!" liu Xiu shouted as he saw a Wyvern flying above him.
It was a small animal when compared to a dragon, but it was huge for ordinary humans like Liu Xiu or the other people.
Strengthening his eyes with skill, Liu Xiu could tell there was someone riding on the animal.
Not only was he watching at the top, Liu Xiu was also watching to the middle of that empty field, finding there was a person shaking the sword, to expel the dust.
"Heh... Some survived the brutal attack. I'm sure he's strong enough to defeat the dragon alone" Liu Xiu said softly, comforted.
Gaining the chance, Liu Xiu approached slowly, keeping no one aware of it.
He used many skills that Liu Xiu had not used for a long time, such as [Stealth] and [Sneak]. But most of them wear them by accident.
"Hummmmd. There's a beast there, with a spear and a sword? Pretty freaky. But I know, that weapon is really incredibly powerful. At least, equivalent to Admantium, or the holy sword" Liu Xiu said as he slowly stopped.
He looked for a rock sticking out to cover his body, and as hard as possible dispelled his existence.
"Not only that. There was an Elf behind him. And looking at his Fehl capacity, he was really shocking."
"Having 100 grand, it's really amazing! Even though it was only about a sixth of my total Fehl back then, it was still incredible. And I'm sure Suzu can match her Fehl number one day." Liu Xiu continued, nodding confidently.
"But the catalyst, what's the catalyst? I can feel a very powerful magic from there. Is that some kind of rare item?" ask again.
Catalysts are items that magicians use to channel their magic energy.
Actually, without a catalyst, magic can be released, as Liu Xiu used to do. But by using a catalyst, the magic becomes stronger and the Fehl needed becomes smaller.
Liu Xiu looked up again, observed Wyvern flying quietly above, and found...
"There's someone jumping off the top!!" shouting pleased.
And when the Beast below who was Luna received the attack, Liu Xiu praised its power, and the strength of its sword.
He also commented on some of the things when Wyvern was down, and about someone sitting on top of Wyvern.
Liu Xiu became a spectator, until he realized.
"Isn't that the Demon race? How's it possible?" liu Xiu asked half-shouting.
