Chapter 126: Multi-Verse Adventure Pt 9
Asta Pov:
I was just told by Kenji that I was supposed to run to the Fire Nation and Back. I was also supposed to get stronger...
I hit my face a bit and started screaming out a bit. I then ran into the woods away from them and started. I pulled my sword out as well just in case. "Kenji...Your Evil but...IM READY FOR ANYTHING YOU THROW AT ME!"
I then started running faster and everything around me seemed to have slowed down. I soon passed by a grow of slimes and swung my sword at them. They all died instantly and I kept going.
I continued doing this for about 2 hours and then I got to this cave. "Surely theres strong things in here right?.." I made the decision of going in and started walking through the cold and dark cave.
I hit a few walls but I eventually arrived in a huge cavern. The top was open like a volcano which only made me more excited to get this mission done.
As I was thinking that, I was kicked in the side and I flew into a wall. All the dust around me flew up and I coughed a bit. "The...Hell?.." I held my sword up to block the dust coming at me and looked around.
I then saw these..."Praying Mantises!?" I screamed out as the humanoid things came closer to me. I then got up from my post and back up. I hit the wall tho and looked around.
"Shit..." I looked all over and saw about a hundred of them. "¿○○■○•" The things spoke out to each other which made me sweat a bit. "○○●¿•" They communicated some more and looked at me. I immediately rushed at them as I knew it was time to fight.
One of the green things put their hands out at me and fire appeared. It was shot at me but I cut it in half. I kept rushing at the green things and its eyes widened. I swung my sword from under and it went from his crotch all the way to its head.
Its body then split in half and exploded into particles. "One.." I sighed out a bit and kept going. They would fire multiple balls of fire at me but I just blocked them. I cut them all in half while hearing notifications in my ear.
I got to the last one and cut that in half. I whiped my forehead a bit and sighed out. I then looked down at my clothes and saw all their guts and blood on me. "So your the one who killed all my men?" I looked up and saw another green one on a cliff.
It then jumped down and made a crater in the ground. "My Name is ○●•. What is yours?" I heard its voice and assumed that it was a female. "Asta. I'm here to Defeat you in my Masters Name!" I screamed out at her and stopped.
"Master?" She slowly started cackling. "WHO THE HELL IS THAT!?" She made a weird face with foam coming out it it. "The Time Master.." I smiled at her and she stared at me. "Stop Bluffing Boy. I can see that you have no magic so why would the Time Master choose someone like you to become their student?"
She laughed out at me and I put my head down a bit. I'm tired...Of them all down Playing me. I then put my head up and pointed my sword at her. "I'LL SHOW YOU WHY HE CHOSE ME!!" My body flashed and I appeared infront of her face. She immediately reacted by opeing her mouth.
My eyes widened and she spat out at me. I immediately jumped back and her saliva hit the ground. It melted the ground a bit and she smiled. "You...Are you human?" I didnt say anything and got back into my stance.
I then thought back to what Kenji said. "Every thing has some sort of weakness. Dont just blindly attack at whatever it is that your fighting Asta...." I smiled at his words and shook my head. I then slowly ran to the side and started circling her.
She stared at me the whole time. She seemed to be able to turn her head in any direction. 'She..Hasn't really attacked me yet...' I then thought back to how female praying mantises eat on their mates. I then thought back to all of the mantises I fought.
I smiled a bit as I figured it out. "You...Cant attack on your own huh?" Its eyes widened which confirmed my theory. "How..." I blitzed at her and kicked her into the wall. She hit it hardly and bunched off of it. She fell to her stomach and coughed out acid.
I then ran up to it and stood over her. "No...PLEASE!" She looked upped at me and begged. My hair then flapped in the wind and she saw it. "That...Crest...IT CANT BE!!...." She then tried getting up but her body soon twitched.
It then turned into particles and I pulled my sword out of the ground. I then said "Is that enough proof?" I looked at the fading away particles and put my sword on my back.
"I...Can still explore right?" I thought for a while and agreed with myself. I then walked out into a path in the back of the room and disappeared into the darkness...
....
I got out of the cave and jumped up into the sky. I went into the clouds a bit and looked around. 'I can kind of see it..' I then landed back onto the ground and sighed.
I found Two chest in there. I opened the first on and saw a ring and a scroll. The scroll was for wind users and I guess that the ring was the famous storage item.
I then put the wind scroll into the ring and opened the other one. I saw a lot of gold but I didn't knows it's worth in this world. I still took it all and put it into my ring. I then saw something at the bottom of the chest.
"Skill...Card?..." I picked up the small card shaped item and looked all over it. It them floated out of my hands which made me back up a bit.
[Fire Scroll]
[Healing Potion]
[Low-Level Swordsmens ship]
[Pick one]
I stared at the 3 floating cards infront of me. "Lidia can use fire right? But a healing potion can..." I was pondering for a while until the 'Fire Scroll' option disappeared.
I then panicked for a while between healing potion and the Low-Level Swordsmen ship. 'Shit. I dont want to do this but..'
[Low-Level Swordsmen ship obtained.]
As soon as I heard that, The card in my back pocket floated into the sky. Both of the cards then came together and a light went off. My card then floated into my back pocket and the healing potion card disappeared.
Back to the forest now, I walked for a bit and sat down on a log. I was hungry since the eggs Kenji gave me weren't enough. Also, that black haired woman...Who was she?...
I was interrupted as my stomach growled. I got up from my log and walked over to the river. I took my shoes and socks off and went into the water. The fish were swimming all around me and I held my sword out.
"....There!" I put my sword down into the water and killed a fish. I then picked the fish up and threw it out of the river. I did this about 15 more times and I noticed..."Im..Not missing.." The fish were easy to kill and I said. "Is this the affect of....."
I got out of the water and walked over to all the fish. I stared at the slight cut on their heads and walked passed them. I put my sword away and picked up some sticks and rocks. I placed the sticks back onto the ground in a pile and started hitting two rocks together.
"Come on..." I grunted a bit and sparkles flew everywhere. It got onto my head and I screamed out. I rolled all over the ground until the fire went away. I then noticed that I started a fire on the sticks which made me happy.
I then set up some tough sticks and formed something to put the pan on. "Now...The pan..." I looked all over to try and find a pan that i knew wasnt their. "Here you go!" I looked at the little girl and took the pan.
"Thanks Kaida." I patted her head and turned around. "WAIT WHAT!?" I shot my head back at her and stared at the little girl. "W-What the hell? Why am I seeing Kenjis Dragon?" I shrugged it off and looked back.
"That's because I'm really here..." She pouted behind my back and I said "Geez...I must be getting kind of lonely. I thought I was used to being like this but..." I thought back to the few little fun times in had with Kenji and smiled.
"I'm really here..." She came in front of me and I said "Yeah, I know.." I patted her head and sat down on a log. The fish then teleported next to me and I started taking then scales off with my sword.
Anti-Magic is perfect for scrapping the scales off as they are made of magic. I put the bare fish into the pan and picked up some grass next to me. "Flavor Maybe?" I stared at the grass and just shrugged it off. I put it into the pan and started cooking with 4 pieces of fish.
"Why...Are you here Kaida?" I stared at her who was sitting infront me and she said "Master wants me to protect you just in case but...I can see that you dont need it!" She giggled out at him and Asta smiled a bit.
My hair blew in the wind and my Creast appeared again. "When did he even put this on me?" Kaida stared at me with a smile and she said "I got one too aswell!" She then held her dress up a bit and showed me her Crest on her belly button.
The crest was like a sparkling star. The best way that I could describe it atleast. She then pulled her dress down and we waited. I told her about the cave and she seemed very happy. I also told her about me choosing a skill and she said "I have over 100 skills. I dont really fight much so.."
"Wow! You have so many!!" I stared at her in amazement and she giggled. I then checked on the fish and saw it sizzling. "Nice..." I picked up a stick and picked at the fish. I got the stick into the fish and handed it to her. She took at it and bit down on it. "Delicious Asta!" I nodded at her and got my own.
We ate It all then got some more. I put even more in the pan and we both got full after a while. "I'm going to be going now." I got up and pulled my sword out. "Okay! Good luck!" I nodded at her and started running towards the Fire nation again.
I fought more monsters and leveled a lot more aswell. I then got to this road somehow and started walking down it. I swung my sword around a bit and put it on my back.
"So hot..." I wasnt used to the heat. I spent most of my time at home. I only ever went outside to go to the gym but even then, it was rarely.
I sighed out and kept walking down the road. A carriage came up behind while I was swinging my sword around and the person inside said "Need a ride young traveler?" The man had black haired with red eye and looked quite young. "Nah, I'm fine. You can go without me."
The man with black hair nodded and kept traveling along in his fancy looking carriage. I did want to catch a ride but No. Kenji sent me on this journey to train me. I cant cheat myself on this one...
I saw the carriage in the distance going towards the volcano which was slolwy getting bigger. I walked for about 2 hours until I got to volcano. I instantly fell to the ground and saw that guy.
"You walked all the way here huh? Your something else young traveler." He put something near my head and I passed out.
...
I woke up in the same spot and quickly got up. "Shit...." I picked up the Hot water and started running again. I ran and ran and ran and ran and ran and got back into the jungle.
I jumped over rivers, I jumped on top of trees. I climbed hills and I kept running. I was about to drink some water but noticed that none was coming out.
I then threw the empty water bottle away and kept going. I slowed down a bit but kept pushing myself. I went faster and faster and faster until my body turned into a black ball for a bit and I sped up. "The hell?" I thought about what happened for a quick second but just shrugged it off.
I swung from a tree and tried landing on another one but I slipped and fell down. My eyes widened for a bit but I turned my body around. I landed on the ground and screamed out. "DAMN.. IT!!"
I then bit down on my lip from the pain in my foot and screamed out. "NOT YET!" I kept running and running and after a while, I saw an outline of Kenji. "NOT...YET..." I kept running at him, blinded by everything around me.
"Your here...Good job." I tried slowing down but my momentum pulled me at him. I then ran into him and hit him. I instantly fell back tho. "NOT...YET..." He then said some things but I was too tired to talk at the moment.
He then smacked my face and I started focusing on him. I then shook my head a bit and he helped me up. He then said some more things to me and we disappeared.
We then appeared by this river and he asked me for my level. I told him and pulled my card out. He went in thought I think and he soon pulled out a table. It had food on it and I immediately ran at it.
"So...Good..." I picked up a piece of chicken and heard the bushes rustle behind me. I then turned around and saw a black haired girl next to Lidia. "Who...Is that?" They looked at me and Kenji said "Your new teammate and my newest Disciple.." I was surprised a bit but not that much. "Congratulations Nero." Lida patted her shoulders
Her name is Nero? "Good job...Nero? I cant wait to train and fight with you!" I then went to the floor and did some pushups. My body soon froze tho and I fell down. "NOT...YET..." I slowly got back up and said "IM NOT DONE YET!!" I was stopped by my body shrinking.
I then got onto the ground and looked up at the giants. "Not fair..." I cried out a bit but was ignored ultimately. I then heard them speaking about the dungeon city. Kenji then fully welcome Nero and I smiled a bit.
...End of Pov.
I picked up the crying but smiling Asta. "Nero. Come here.." She nodded and walked up to me. I then moved her small bangs to the side and touched her forehead. "Your now..One us.." I smiled at her and removed my hand.
A sparkling blue star appeared on her forehead and her hair went back to cover it. "Thank...You.." I nodded and she touched it. In that moment of happiness, a huge storm of wind came upon us.
I covered baby asta up and he kicked me. Baby Asta then laughed at me and I pinched his cheeks. The huge dragon then came down next to us and landed. "How was your small trip sweety?" I touched her rough, but soft skin and she roared out.
She then went up into particles and I turned around. She landed on my back and she wrapped her arms around my neck. "It was Amazing Master!" She giggled a bit and I smiled.
I then looked back down at Baby Asta. "How the hell did you even kick me with a broken foot?" His laughter soon stopped and he stared at me. "You think I wouldnt notice huh? You can tell me things like this. I wont be mad.."
He slowly nodded and put his thumb into his mouth. He then looked away and I sighed. I threw him up in the sky and he turned back into his regular self. He then screamed out and came back down. I caught him and said.
"Let's get going to the Dungeon city of Crunel." They all nodded at me and Kaida kissed my cheek. She then jumped off of my back and went a little bit away. She transformed into a dragon again and we walked back over to our camp.
Kaida stayed where she was and waited for us. "Man I cant Wait!" Asta screamed out as he picked up the chest. "OH YEAH GUYS!" He then dropped the chest and said "LOOK AT WHAT I GOT!!" He showed us all his ring and we held our hands out. "Yeah. We got one aswell.." We went back to packing up and he became sad.
"Even you Nero..." She looked at him and nodded. "I...Found mine in the woods..." Asta seemed down then he remembered "WAIT! I GOT A WIND SCROLL. DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE WIND MAGIC!?...."
I threw a ball of leaves into his mouth and he chocked a bit. He then spit it out and said "Geez..." He sighed and pulled out the wind scroll. Me and Nero both looked at each other and walked up to him.
"We can use wind." I grabbed the scroll and opened it. "But you said you only have Time magic..." I sighed out and stared at him. Hes like an on/off switch. "I can use all of the Main elements Asta.."
He made a weird face and I shook my head. I then looked back at the scroll and read it. "Wind...Clone?.." Nero read some more and said "I've never heard of this before..." She then looked back up at Asta. "Where did you get this?.." Asta whipped under his nose like he won and said "From a cave..."
He laughed a bit and I walked over into the open. To learn this wind clone or whatever, it only take a little bit of bending but for me, it takes one sign. "Wind Clone!" I put my fingers up like + and a cloud of smoke went up."
It then cleared and everyone looked at me. Well both of me. "Thats...AWESOME!" Asta came up to me and checked out the both of us. He moved all around us and we looked at him.
"Wow. You can create another one of you huh?" Lidia walked up to us and stared at us. "Hmm..Looks he exact same..." She then put her hand threw my clone and it passed right through. She then took it out and moved her hand towards me.
"Hes...The original..." Nero said while coming up. "Yeah, I know..." She moved her hand at me and her fist passed through.
"...."
"Wot."
Everyone starred with a blank face.
"I'm right here.." I came behind Lidia snd tickled her neck. She instantly pulled her sword at me and put it under my chin. "W-WHAT!?" Asta became scared and Nero just...Nero just stared at me. "Its...Just me..." I slowly moved her sword away with some sweat on my face.
'How the hell did she get passed my precognition?...' She could have quite easily finished me off their. "Yeah I know. Your lucky I like you..." She gave me a glare and put her sword away.
I laughed awkwardly and asta said "How did you appesr over there?.." His voice squealed a bit and I said "I jumped out of the smoke when I made my clones. I landed on this tree above us and...." He slowly nodded at me and I picked the chest up. "Nero. When we're in the sky, We're having our first training session." Nero nodded at me and jumped onto my shoulders.
"CAN I TRAIN WITH YOU TWO ASWELL!!" I looked back at him and smiled. "Sure Asta. Just dont die tho okay?" I walked away without hearing his response. "Good luck." Lidia tapped asta shoulders and walked past him.
Asta stared at us for a while and said "Wait on me guys.." He picked up the wind scroll and ran behind us. I got near Kaida and jumped ontop of her back. I then walked over to back and sat our chest down. Lidia and Asta jumped up and I said "You guys are hungry right?"
Asta immediately nodded(Hungry ass boy)and Lidia nodded aswell. I then looked up at Nero and she nodded. I put my hand out and a table appeared. It had chairs aswell. We all then went up to our chairs and sat down.
"Nero. I made a chair for you by the way.." She was still in her human form while on top of my head. "Its soft right here..." I sighed and nodded. I then looked over to asta and saw how much he was enjoying himself. "I though you didnt eat too much.."
I grabbed my spoon and got some soup. "Yeah but now I exercise everyday so its fine. Besides, I have to if I want too keep up with you guys...." Asta then though back to him running so fast that he turned into a black ball. "Well...I guess thats...True..." I passed Nero some of my soup and she ate it. I then pulled it put of her mouth and finished the rest.
"Geez..Your trying to make me jealous arent you...." I laughed a bit at her and heard a weird noise. "Sorry.. I have to take this..." Asta got up with that communication device and went to the corner or...to the back of Kaida?..
Speaking of Kaida, she started flapping her wings. The table shook a bit but it was fine in the end. "Nero. Your going to fly away.." She held onto my face tighter and said "I'm fine.." We then flew at fast speeds towards the town. "it's late now. Maybe I should hold off on training you guys untill tommorow..."
Asta instantly turned his head at me and shouted. "NO NO NO!" I heard a squeal from the communication device and thought 'Poor Girl....' I finished eating and feeding Nero. I then got up and took her off my head.
I held her out in front of me and she stared blankly at me. "Okay...For your first test.." I let her go. "Try not to get left behind...." She flew away with a surprised face. "You...Dont hold back do you?" I laughed a bit and walked up to her.
"I..Havent done this to you have I?" Her eyes widened a bit and she tried running away. She failed tho as I froze her and unfroze her. She lost her grip and flew back. "Well...You wanted to train the most...." I made a small rock appear in my hand and threw it at asta.
He almost dodged it but failed ultimately as he was distracted by Megumins voice and the fast speeds of the rock. He was hit in the side and flew back. "I hope...They make it..." I stared out for a moment and shrugged my shoulders.
I then walked up to Kaida's neck and sat down on it. "Are you hungry too?" I rubbed the tip of her horn and she roared out a bit. I then made a a huge piece of meat appear and threw it infront of her. She flew into it with her mouth open and she ate it.
She roared out a bit and I smiled. "Yeah...Bears do taste good huh?" I rubbed her head a bit and got up. I then walked back to her end and saw them all. "AHHHH!!" Asta was screaming out while holding onto Kaida's tail.
I saw lidia and...Wow. She was concentrating flames into her palms and shooting it out. She was using it to proper herself in the air, essentially flying. I then looked over a Nero and saw her in her bird form. She /was/ struggling but managed to keep up still.
I then walked onto kaida's tail and came close to Asta. He had tears falling down his face in a funny way. "You can do it my boy." I patted his head. "GeT mE doWn FrOM HEre!!" He screamed out at me and I laughed. "Well since you asked..." I put my foot into his face and he flew back.
He hit Lidia and the both fell to the ground. "Nero!" I saw a sweat mark on her face as I walked up to her. She was flapping her small little wings while trying to keep up with kiadas speed.
"Your doing good to keep up.." She looked at me out of the corner of her eye. "How about...You go down and join your new friends?" I shot out a beam of time at her and she froze. "You have to be able to react to this in the future okay? I shot out a beam of time if you dont know what I'm talking about..."
She couldn't say or do anything. She could hear me tho..."Tell them to catch back up..." I sped her out of her bird form and undid the blue ball from her. She then flew back to where Asta and Lidia crashed.
"This...Is going to be a fun night."
