The system? No! This Is Another One!
Uncovered
"Hey, are you sure about this Miko?"
It was at night. Leon is summoned to the open in secret, by his son.
When he got there, the first thing he said to him was, "Fight me". Of course, Leon was surprised by the sudden unreasonable request.
When she asked what it was for, Miko replied, “I want to test my current limits. I've been practicing on my own, but I don't know how strong I really am. I need a test doll, and since you're a royal bodyguard, you're a perfect fit for the job.”
This caused Leon to be even more shocked. But he still agreed, because he had his own goals.
"Yes, I'm sure. Stop being a coward and let's do this.”
Miko.
He is now 6 years old. He had yet to develop his beautiful androgynous features, but had a sharp look in his eyes.
She wore a sleeveless hoodie, the same color as her hair, and matching shorts.
By the way, Leon is wearing a tank top and black pants. The tank top fits snugly, thus showing off its burly muscles.
(He became much stronger since joining the Royal Guards.)
'i know. That's why he's perfect to test my limits.'
When Miko was born, Leon was thin but currently he was twice the size. This was thanks to the hard training he had put in since becoming a guard.
By the way, Leon was ordered to quit his job as a farmer and join the guard permanently. This was because he was extremely strong even among his friends.
Leon is currently under the wing of a general, and is considered a future general by many.
Miko was surprised to hear this, but welcomed the extra money for the household.
"good. But we'll stop before you get hurt. I don't want Sasha to cry because you're hurt. Especially because, Sasha was so cruel when she cried.”
“I won't get hurt. As long as you don't hold back, you won't get hurt either. ”
"Oh? That's enough confidence for a 6-year-old. ”
Leon smiled seductively and then got the idea.
“Then let's make this interesting. If you win, I'll let you do whatever you want. You'll be free from Sasha's control, I'll make sure. ”
"And if I lose?"
"You're gonna call me Papa or Dad, like a normal kid."
"I don't really want to do that, but fine."
Once the two reached an understanding, they distanced themselves.
'….Well, how will Miko fight me? I find it strange how he is so confident, even though I never taught him how to fight.'
Leon looked at Miko with curious eyes, while thinking that.
She watched as Miko lowered her center of gravity slightly.
'He's coming!'
Miko quickly ran forward. He cut the distance of 50m between them in less than 5 seconds.
“She's fast!”
Leon quickly prepares for Miko's attack. But what happened next, was something he did not expect.
Miko covered her fists with fire and pushed her forward before she was even 2 meters away from Leon.
"What?!"
The pillar of fire rushed towards Leon, which he barely avoided.
"Fighter Magic?!"
Before she could recover from her shock, Miko slipped beside her.
"Omong empty!"
Miko threw another punch, and a pillar of fire struck Leon's head.
He flew back a few meters and landed at his feet.
"Wow. As expected of the Royal Guards. You jump backwards to reduce the damage. ”
Miko honestly praises her father's quick thinking, but Leon-is
“Miko.”
He's not happy.
"Who taught you magic?"
His voice was filled with anger and scorn towards Miko.
“Nothing. I taught myself.”
Miko on the other hand did not seem to mind her anger.
"…..So anyway. That's what decides.”
Leon's voice turned cold, which made Miko very alert.
“Le-?!”
Miko opened her mouth to speak, but before her Leon shortened the distance by one step.
He leaned over and pulled his arm back. And then like a bullet, he pushed it forward.
Miko could not react in time and her stomach was punched.
“Hah?!”
The power of his punch, made his body bend like '>', and he was thrown.
His body floated for 3 seconds before touching the ground; bouncing like a ball before being slammed into a boulder.
"..... W-What the fuck is this?!”
His entire body was in pain, and he felt like he could faint at any moment.
But, he didn't do it. He glared at Leon who was standing far away from him.
“K-You bastard! Are you trying to kill your own son ?! ”
Miko shouted furiously.
"Son?"
Leon answered calmly.
“You are not my son. You trickster. ”
"Craud?"
“I always wondered. Why does this child feel so different from the rest of us? I passed through it as my imagination when I saw you doing things a baby shouldn't be able to do. ”
"What are you talking about?!"
“You know, you didn't cry when you were born. Instead, you secretly glared at everyone in the room. Do you think that's normal?”
Miko silently listened to Leon.
“I heard from Sasha that you scared off one of the thieves when you were just 2. I convinced myself that it was because you had Dragna blood flowing in your veins. But, I secretly kept my doubts.”
"What do you mean?"
“You've always been a strange child. You can read perfectly by the age of 4, even though no one teaches you. I told myself that you were a genius, when you spoke intelligently when you faced me a while ago. But, I realized you only did it with me. You act like a child around Sasha and the twins. But it's all just acting.”
“………”
“I'm starting to doubt who you are, but I just don't want to believe it. But, you just used magic. You used the purest form of fire magic and attacked me like someone with a lot of fighting experience. Who are you fighting? Ghosts in the backyard?”
Miko realized her mistake. He didn't think much of Leon, so he was off guard and acted like his true self. He thought that he could easily manipulate it. But he was wrong.
“Hey, who are you? Someone tried to use Dragna's name to steal the throne? Or a parasitic demon that transmigrates from host to host?”
“………”
"After all, you're not my son."
Miko could feel the bloodlust coming from Leon. It made his body tense.
"Death, fraud!"
“Cih. I'm really fucked!”
They both attack each other.
The first step is Miko.
He gathered fire around his feet, and used it to glide like a rocket.
This is called the [Ignition Step].
He covered the distance between the two in just a matter of seconds.
He then twisted his body in midair, and gave a kick that led to Leon's temple.
However, the kick was successfully avoided with a step back.
Leon grabs Miko's foot that misses the target, and slams her to the ground, like he's swinging a hammer.
“Hah?!”
Miko slammed into the ground so hard, that blood came out of her mouth.
Leon is merciless. He did not hesitate to aim the stampede at his son's head.
But, Miko got out of the way in time. He then jumped back to keep her away.
'This bastard is really trying to kill me!'
(Of course he is. For him you are a fraud who attacked his family. Careful, Son. There was a reason why he was considered a great talent in the kingdom. Even though he threw away his last name, your father came from a long family of generals. War is flowing in his blood.)
'Like I care! He tried to kill me, so I will repay him well!'
Miko took off her claws and fangs.
Leon did not seem surprised, he was even more furious. She must have thought Miko was some kind of demon wearing her son's skin.
Sparks began to radiate from his arms. The next second, he coated it with lightning.
This is called the [Hand Lightning Sword].
Miko did the same. He coated his claws with fire.
This is the [Fire Claw].
Miko used the [Ignition Step] and slid off the ground.
Both collided in the middle of the road.
*boom!*
Loud sounds echoed throughout the surroundings, as flames and lightning clashed.
Miko jumps up and uses her claws to slash Leon's face. Leon ducked down and thrust his arm wrapped in lightning into Miko's chest. He was aiming to pierce his heart.
While still bound in the air, Miko quickly used the [Ignition Step] to move sideways. But, Leon is persistent.
He grabs Miko's shoulder to stop her from escaping, and slashes a hand knife into her neck.
Miko retaliated by blocking him with her claws.
The collision of lightning and fire, forcibly separating the two.
"Not bad."
Leon glared and said.
“But how long do you think you can last? I obviously have the advantage. ”
"That's right. You are stronger than me and faster than me. But, I'm a natural killer. While you are a trained person. Let's see which is better!”
Miko covered her hands and feet with fire. He then once again used the [Ignition Step], but not to launch towards Leon. He used it to jump into the air.
He then raised his right hand above his head, seconds later a gigantic fireball appeared in his hand.
He threw a fireball at Leon. Seeing that, Leon prepared himself to use his lightning-coated arm to cut the fireball in half.
But just as he raised his hand to do so, the fireball suddenly broke into several smaller fireballs.
"What?!"
Leon is caught off guard and is slow to react, but Miko is not done yet.
“[Fire Fertilizer!]”
The fireball that surrounded Leon suddenly exploded.
*CABOO!*
A pillar of fire then rose into the sky, before disappearing a second later.
When the dust disappears, a crater is left with Leon standing in the middle.
“…….”
His body was enveloped in lightning, and both of his arms were crossed in front of him, as if using it to defend themselves.
"Not bad."
“?!”
Before he could get out of his position, Miko was already in front of him.
He pushed both of his palms forward and slammed them into Leon's chest.
“[Bazooka Fire!]”
Immediately after, flames shot out from Miko's palm and hit Leon's chest.
“Guaaaaaah?!”
Leon was pushed away by the flames and flew 100m backwards.
He hit a tree and broke it.
“………”
Miko silently looked at Leon, who was lying on the ground, for a while before speaking.
“How long do you intend to lie there? I know it's not enough to kill you.”
“…..You practically roasted my entrails, and you still said it wasn't enough to kill me. As I thought, you're too used to fighting.”
“Only an idiot would not realize how tough you are after clashing with you.”
“…..Why don't you kill me when you have the chance?”
“….After thinking about it, killing the family breadwinner would cause too much discomfort.”
"….So anyway. I never thought you'd be so naive. ”
*Slap*
“……..?”
Miko suddenly felt something prick her skin and lowered her head.
There's a hole in his stomach. From the fact that the blood flowed horizontally instead of diagonally before falling to the ground, it meant that whatever pierced him was still inside him.
“……..”
He slowly looked at Leon. He had one of his hands stretched out toward him.
“The lightning magic isn't the only one I can use. There is also wind and earth.”
“……..”
“You see things with wind magic are hard to detect, have a far range, and very fast. I could make a sword out of him and directly stab something. I can also do this.”
*Slash*
This time the pain came from all over Miko's midsection.
He saw his hoodie split in two and fall to the ground. Followed by the blood spurting from his chest.
“…….?”
Miko had a confused expression as she fell to the ground.
He looked at the sky as blood left his body.
“This is my win.”
He knew that Leon was saying something, but he didn't hear it.
'Ah 'Ah. This feeling is so familiar.'
(Son!)
Tiamat also spoke to him but he did not answer. He just kept staring at the sky with emotionless eyes.
His mind slowly shrouded in darkness.
[×—×]
“Logan.”
Miko heard someone calling her by her old name, and looked beside her.
He saw a brunette girl, tied to a table. She was crying and clearly scared.
“Don't worry, Logan. He said God would save us. So we're definitely gonna get out of here alive. ”
As soon as he said that, blood flowed from his eyes, nose, and mouth. His body then slowly turned into dust, and was carried away by the wind.
“……..”
“Logan. You are the oldest so you have to be strong. ”
A black-haired man suddenly stood in front of Logan. He had a gentle smile on his face, and tears flowed from his eyes.
His clothes were covered in blood.
“Sst. Don't be afraid, master will protect you.”
Logan saw a red line appear on the man's neck, and his head suddenly fell from his body.
“……”
Logan saw similar incidents with countless others. Men, women, children, and the elderly.
Not long after, Logan was surrounded by hundreds of corpses.
“………”
However, the look on his face never changed.
He remained emotionless.
[×—×]
(...Lo.....Logan! Logan!)
His consciousness slowly returned, and he could hear Tiamat desperately calling out his old name.
(Stay calm! This level of damage is not enough to kill you! You just need to focus on healing and escaping.)
“……..”
(Lake in!)
"Shut up."
Miko slowly stood up.
"I just remembered something very important."
Blood continued to gush from his wound.
"My life here is too good to be true, so it must have caught me off guard."
He coughed up a little blood, and then wiped it from his mouth.
"That's fine. In the end, the only thing you can count on is yourself. Everyone is my enemy. So I will not hesitate to send them all to hell.”
Blood was still coming out of his mouth as he faced Leon.
(Don't do that, Logan! You will die if you continue to fight with those injuries!)
Tiamat shouted desperately in his mind.
But, he ignored it.
Miko's eyes turned purple, and her pupils turned into animal eyes.
His body then began to emit a violent purple aura.
He pointed towards Leon, and then formed a savage smile with his lips, and said-
"Second Rabbit, Motherfucker."
