Chapter 128: Multi-Verse Adventure Pt 11
We walked up to the stairs and got to the top. "The hell!?" I looked back at Asta and saw him sweating a bit. "Oh yeah, This is training so endure it.." He fell a bit more and got back up while shaking a bit.
I then looked all around and...Wow. "They all...look like the people from before...." The people in here looked like the people on the previous floor but these ones looked like they could actually kill a fly. They also had a bit of armor.
"Well..Well...Well.." A big man came up to us. He had huge muscles with a long sword on his back. "What do we have here?.." He looked at all of us and smirked. "3 beautiful women huh? Let me take those off you boy..." He made a weird smile and pulled his sword out.
"3 Beautiful Woman?" Does that include Kaida?(Asta?) Well she was a cute little girl but come on..."Hey! I'm talking to you!" He aimed his sword at me and said "HAND OVER THOSE WIMEN!!" He swung his sword at me and I sighed.
I caught his sword and his eyes widened. "I'm going to kill you right where you stand. Is that fine?" His sweat flew up and his body disappeared. I then stared down at my hand and thought 'Nice...I got his skills too..' New skill I guess. I can absorbs the skills of the things I kill.
"W-What the hell!? What Magic did he just kill Jim with!?" A group of 4 got up and stared at us. They then walked over to use while pulling their weapons out. "You Killed Jim with that Weird Magic! You should die for that!!" I walked past them while their bodys turned to dust.
I then walked over to the receptionist desk and she smiled at me. "We just became F tiers. Can we start taking missions now or?..." She smiled at us and nodded. She then motioned us to the board and we walked over to it.
"What...Did you do to them..." I tightened my grip on her legs and looked up. "Aged them to the point where they were dust and bones..." Her legs shook a bit and I rubbed my thumb on her leg. "I...Wont do that again. I'm sorry..."
She has a bad trauma with death. I guess me killing them right in front of her triggered it again. She then nodded at my words and we stared at the board. "Kill two Slimes." "Pick 50 healing herbs." "kill 10 slimes." "Kill 100 slimes."
We stared out at the options. "Why only slimes?.." I shrugged my shoulders at asta and thought the same thing. "It says...that the first 100 floors are only slimes...It also says that they get stronger on each floor..."
We all nodded at Nero. I thought that Kaida would be the one providing all the information but it seems like she didn't even noticed that they got stronger. "I guess..We should take this one..." I grabbed a paper that said "Kill 300 slimes."
They all nodded at that and we went back up to the counter. "We would like to do this one." I handed her the paper and she took it. She was sweating for some reason when she looked at me. "Approved..." She stamped the paper and we nodded.
"You know who I am right? Just treat me like a normal Adventurer Okay?" She fliched a bit and nodded. We then walked over to this circle on the ground with words on it.
"I was wondering how we were going to get down from here." I was worried that we would have to walk down the stairs every single time but I guess not..
We then got onto the teleportation circle and I I around at it. "I...Pour Magic into it right?" They all nodded at me and I said "Okay Asta. Get us out of here." He stared blankly at the side of my face and I laughed a bit.
I then channeled magic power into the teleportation circle and we disappeared. "Those..Arent average rookies like us are they.." A guy with dog ears said while starring at the teleportation circle.
"Definitely Not. The Magic Power coming from them was...So little that I could barely notice it. Im surprised that the teleportation circle even worked...." The dog eared guy nodded and said "That green eyed boy...Seemed like he had no Magic at all. Those 5 are definitely dying out there.." They took a sip of their juice and laughed out a bit.
We all appeared on the 10th floor. "So Lidia. Us Humans couldn't even make it passed slimes?..." Floor 90 was the floor that us humans couldnt get passed I think. "Yep. You'll fix that right Time Master?"
Yes, I Will. It's a shame that us humans were nerfed by God because of our potential.."Yeah but its gonna take a while..." She shrugged her shoulders and said "Were going to be out here for a couple of years so that's fine.."
I then looked around and noticed that the floor was a bit bigger. The slimes were also bigger aswell. "Asta. Lidia. Go around and Gather 300 Slime cores each." They both nodded and ran away. I then squeezed Nero thighs a bit and she jumped down in front of me.
"I'm going to teach you...The Magic Method.." The thing that I did with Lidia I mean. "Magic...Method..." I nodded and explained it to her. Kaida also joined in so I guess she wanted to learn. "Concentration is key Okay?" She nodded and sat down. Kaida did the same and they both crossed their legs.
They soon closed their eyes and started concentrating. I just watched them and walked around them. "Calm Down Kaida..." I placed my hand on her head and she stopped shaking. You first have to unlock your core.
She was picking at it but it didnt work so she tried forcing herself into it. "You have to unlock it with patience so dont rush. Master will stay here and watch over you even if it takes until the end of time..." I....Could technically do this and just fast forward the past so everyone one will be in our future. Nah, That would probably go against /his/ rules.
I rubbed her head some more and she nodded a bit. I then walked over to Nero and stared at her. "W-What?" She...Already did it? I then looked inside of her and saw her unlocking things with her own magic. I..couldnt even be mad at this as it was a pretty smart idea.
"I'm finished..." She opened her eyes and stared at me. "G-Good Job. You did well.." I helped her up and smiled. She unlocked her cores power by herself and she unlocked the gate ways to let her magic circulate in a clearer manner.
"Thanks you..." I nodded and she patted her clothes off. "How...Do you feel?" She stared at me then looked all around herself. "I feel more powerful...I can even do this..." She placed her hand out like a plus sign and smoke went up.
I then saw two of her just starring at me. "Good Job." She saw me doing the plus sign and copied it.(She used bending to make air clones before) It may not seem like much but to me, it shows how much of a good learner she is.. "It seems..Like I'm not the only one.." She pointed behind me and I saw Kaida.
"Shes..Doing It.." I could see that she was unlocking her core. She is a Supreme Dragon so I guess their naturally good at everthing. It just took her some time I guess.(Took Nero 5 minutes. Kaida took 6.) "Master! I did it!" She got up and jumped on me.
I caught her and said "Good Job!" We smiled at each other and I put her down. "But Your Still Not Done..." She nodded at me and sat back down in her original spot. I then turned back around and looked at Nero.
"Do you want to test out your Power Boost?" She stared at me for a while then nodded. She then walked away from me and up to a slime. The water slime slowly turned to her and she stared at it.
She then started moving around and I could see wind going into her hands. The slime shot out a ball of water but it went back at it self. She kept going and said "Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison..." She shot out a blue cube at the slime and trapped it inside of it. She then put her hands out and started moving them closer to each other.
The cube around the slime was getting smaller and smaller until the slime popped. She then panted out a bit and looked back at me. I nodded and she did aswell. I then turned back around at Kaida and smiled. She just got done unlocking her gates and got up. (Took 3 minutes.)
"I'm finished now Master!" She came up to me and hugged me around my waist. I just patted her head and smiled. She could already destroy worlds but I guess this is fine. "My spells....Are more powerful..." She walked up behind me while looking at her palm.
"My sealing magic would only shrink down my enemy's a bit. With this.." She looked up at me. "I can defeat my enemies with little ease.." I nodded at her and and picked Kaida up. I then looked around the whole room and saw them both.(Asta and Lidia.)
I also saw these other people with sad faces as those two were kill stealing. I sighed a bit and walked up to this little kid. "Aren't you the guard?" The little kid looked up at me with a confused face.
I then thought back to all the moments that I've met this kid and...Wow...."Sorry..." All of the elves...Look the same. Well almost the same with very little differences. I guess you could tell the guys and girls apart by their chest. Guys had flat chest while girls had inflated chest.
But even after all of this, the guard of the dungeon and the guard of the front gate are the same.
I think.
"Here little boy. I'm sorry for my friends killing all of your monsters.." I touched his shoulder and we teleported infront a slime. He seemed confused but I said "Its my special magic..." He slowly nodded at that and I said "Go on! Show me what you got!...."
He nodded and put his hand out. He then closed his eyes and said "Oh Wind Queen..." He keep preaching her and I sighed at some of the bullshit like her being Nice. "Wind Magic: Wind Arrow!" He made a wind bow and arrow and shot at the slime. It hit it and instantly exploded into particles.
"Did you see that Mister!?" The kid turned around but I was gone. I appeared infront of Nero and Waited. Asta and Lidia soon came up to us drenched in sweat. "When...Are you 3 going to fight?" She sighed out a bit and stared at me. "Your...Not tired over fighting level 10 slimes?"
They both stared at me and Asta said "Well there was alot...It gets kind of overwhelming...." I stared at him and shook my head. I guess hes not exactly wrong..
"Alright. Onto the next floors.." I smiled at them and walked away with Kaida back in my arms. Nero walked besides me and we passed them. "Seriously?..." They both said while looking down.
We all then went up the floors while getting even more slime cores. We had to use Kaida's portals in the end as we got over 10,000 of them. "What level are you guys at now?" We were on the 30th floor so they should have rose atleast one level.
"I'm level 35 now." I nodded at Asta. "Level 37." I nodded at Lidia. "20." I stared at the blank face Nero and nodded. Asta was the only one to go up a lot as he was on 32 I think. Lidia was level 36 so she went up only a level while Nero was level 18.
Her race gives her a slight boost aswell in Xp. "Let's cash it in I guess..." They nodded at me and we all teleported. We appeared in front of the receptionist which surprised her alot. "Hello. We completed our mission." I gave her a smile and she nodded.
She them motioned us to follow her and we went into a back room. "Set them here for me please.." Me, Nero, Asta, Lidia, and Kaida put our hands out and the cores appeared. She squealed out and backed up in a panic.
"Give all of the money to people on the bottom floor. Thank You." We all teleported again and I left a note behind. She walked up to the note and picked it up. She slowly read it and as she did, her face was being filled with surprisement.
We teleported to the 60th floor and I looked around. "Okay..." I rubbed my hands together and looked at them all. "Asta. Lidia. Nero. Make it to the 70th floor without dying. If you do then...That would make me sad..." I put my head down and made a 'sad' face.
"You wont let me die. You like me too much..." She stared at me and continued. "Also...This is too much for us. A level 50 slime would seriously kill us..." Oh yeah, floor level doesnt equal the monsters on that floor level.
For floors 1-10 tho I guess it does mean that but anything after is just...Random? "Dont worry..I... believe you all can do it.." I walked up to them. "I believe that my students can do it..." They mark on their forehead sparkled a bit and they nodded slowly.
They then started running off in their own directions. "Master.." I looked down at her in my arm. "What Is it?.." Her face was red as I stared at her. "My Magic...Its overflowing..." I stared at her in confusion. Why was it now overflowing?
"What...Do you want me to do?.." I stared into her black eyes and she grabbed my face. Well my blindfold atleast. She lifted it up and our eyes locked. Her face was getting redder and I touched it. "How...Are you burning up?"
I undid my hand and stared at her. "Master....You have to rub my horns..." Okay Kaida... I thought you were serious but I guess you just wanted to be touched.
That dont sound right.
Like being touched on the horns is what I mean. (He doesnt mean that.)
"You dont have to do all of this..." I placed my hand on her small horn and rubbed it. She giggled a bit and I smiled.
I rubbed her horns some more and walked around. This humanoid slime came up to me but I kept walking. It soon jumped at me but when it came into contact with my body, it aged into a nothing. I kept walking around the floor and I even helped some people out.
I soon saw Asta fighting this huge slime. "Your going to have to slice faster then its regeneration..." He flew back into a wall when I said that. "Come On Asta...I know you can defeat something like this..." He grunted out and flew out of the wall.
He had his sword infront of him and was heading straight for the core. "I'm...GOING TO DEFEAT YOU!!" He got up close to the huge slime and struck it.
Wait.
It struck him I mean.
Asta then went flying into the same spot and passed out. I sighed at this and looked at the slime. It stared at me also and turned his back to me. It then jiggled away and I smiled a bit.
I then went up to the white eyed Asta and bent down. I tapped his face a bit but he didnt wake up. 'A Slime With Intelligence...' When Asta was about to connect with the slime, it made these tentacles and grabbed him on his stomach.
It then swung him around and threw him at the same exact spot. The slime saw how Asta's sword was able to cancel the regeneration of his friends so it avoided it at all cost.
"Oh Asta. I guess...it was to much for you huh.." Asta was strong but he was like...Episode 7 type strong. Something like that atleast.
I picked him up in a time ball and walked away. I went over towards Lidia and...Yeah..."Are you going to lose here?" She flew at the slime and sliced at it. The water fire slime made an opening in its body so her fire sword hit nothing.
She then jumped away and sighed out. "Faster..." She closed her eyes and held her sword out at the slime. "I have to be Faster....and Hotter..." She started channelling fire magic all around her feet. "Hotter....And Faster..." Her eyes widened and she sped forward.
The ground under her melted as she blitzed towards the slime. She got closer to the slime and struck at it. She instantly appeared behind the slime and she had her sword out while panting. "I....Did it....." The slime then melted down and went up into particles. "Good job..."
She channeled all of her flames into her feet, which gave her a massive boost in speed. Also, it was a fire slime. You can only defeat those with water or an even hotter flame...
"The hotter....The faster huh..." She looked at her melted down sword then looked at me. "Time Master. Take me somewhere where Its hot so I can adapt to it..."
Fat chance lady. Your home town is hottest place in the world. "Yeah sure..." I laughed awkwardly while looking around and she walked over to me. She would melt in the ground a bit when she did. "So asta couldnt do it huh?" She stared at him in the bubble and I put my hand out.
"Yeah. He...Will get some serious training when he wakes up..." I made a ball of water and put it out to her. She smiled at this and bent down. She moved her hair around her ear and got some of the water. She then started sinking and fell on her butt.
I laughed out a bit at this and she pouted. She got so hot that the effect hasn't worn off yet. "You've improved a lot Lidia. I'm really proud..." I smiled and helped her up. She was able to shoot fire out of her feet to fly a bit but now she was able to use it to reach even faster speeds.
Speeds to the point where she melts the ground now instead of leave scorch marks. "I was able to improve because of you so you should be thanking youself.." She smiled at me a bit and I smiled. "Mommy Is So Hot!" We looked down at her then back at each other. "Yes, I am." "Yes, She is."
We both said at the same time. We then laughed a bit and walked away together. She kept slipping down into the ground and I said "I guess you need more control huh?.." She laughed a bit and said "Yeah. I got too fired up.." We continued walking until we saw Nero.
She was Panting and Panting while fighting this huge slime. "Maybe I should have let her fight the lower level monsters..." A level 20 fighting a level 50 is suicide. Well you can still beat them but you have to have better use over your powers.
"S-Sealing Magic..." She aimed her hands out at the slime. "Eternal Prison..." She shot a cube out at the slime and captured it. She then put her hands out and started moving them closer to each other.
She struggled and struggled and I walked up to her. "Maybe you could seal it if you had help.." Her eyes widened for a moment then she stopped. The cube around the slime disappeared and she said "Thank you..."
Smoke went up and you could now see two Nero's. Her clone then ran around until it went behind the slime. "I...Can only use it one more time...." They both held their hands out and said "Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison." They both shot out cubes at the slime and trapped it.
They then put their hands out and started pushing them together. They didnt struggle that much this time as she wasnt the only person sealing it. She then sealed it and her clone disappeared.
"You did great.." She stared blankly at me and slowly nodded. She then turned into a bird and flew on top of my head. Her bird eyes then slowly closed and she fell asleep. "Okay. Now onto our real mission.." Kaida and Lidia both stared at me in confusion.
"This was just the warm up. You know that.." I touched Lidia' shoulder and we all disappeared. We then appeared in front of this gate. "Why is it so foggy?.." She looked all around at the fogged covered village. "The mission says that it's been like this for a couple of weeks now. It's also said that their hasn't been a person who's left this village in the past couple of weeks.."
I unfroze asta and he fell down to the ground. He then looked around a bit and back at me. "Damn It!" He hit the ground with his bawled fist and said " I...Was too weak..." He put his head down a bit and I said "Dont worry. You weren't ready and I could see that..." I patted his shoulders and he looked up at me.
"For now...Let's get this mission done with..." They all nodded at me and we walked into the village. The fog made it impossible to see and I had a thought. "Asta. Use your sword and try cutting the fog..." He nodded at me and pulled his sword out.
He then swung it around and the fog actually cleared up. "Magic Fog Huh?" We kept walking forward through the village with Asta waving his sword all around. "Help...Us.." We looked over and saw this dog person. He had his hand out at us and was bloodied all over.
"Sensei! Can you Use your Magic!?" I guess he calls me that so he doesn't give my identity away mid battle. "Nah...That person...isn't real..." I kicked the dog man in the face and it faded away into nothingness. Asta and Lidia Made surprised faces at that and I kept walking.
"How did you know Sensei?..." I looked over my shoulders a bit and said "He had a large cut in his chest. A cut of that size would instantly kill anyone..." They both nodded at that and kept walking.
We soon reached the middle of the village and Asta sliced all around. "Would you look at that..." A chilly voice said in front of us. All the fog then cleared up and we saw him. A Middle aged man with white hair. He had a long scar over his face while dressed in robes.
He also had these robed people behind him. "We were just about to leave.." He laughed out a bit and got up. "But I guess...We have to get rid of these people aswell huh?...." He held his hand out at us and smirked. Ice started forming from all around his hand and a huge ice crystal appeared.
"Why?..." Asta had his head down. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS!?" He yelled out at the man. One should know that their were a lot of dead...Things around us. Women, Children, Animals insects....They were all dead.
"What do you mean 'Why?' We did it because Master wanted us to do it..." He laughed out loudly with the people behind him aswell. He then shot out the huge chunk of ice at us. Asta frowned even deeper and I held my hand out.
Asta however ran forward and slice the ice crystal in half. It then turned into particles and and he said "You guys are just...Evil..." The man didnt flinch at all when he did that. He only put his hand out again and another ice crystal formed. The group of people in robes behind the man also put their hands out and ice crystals formed.
They then shot out the ice Crystal's at us. "What Do You Know Kid? Your A Magic Less Fool With A Rusted Sword. I highly doubt that you can understand what we are doing....." Asta was slicing most of the Crystal's while the rest would scrape him.
Asta kept grunting from the wounds and the man said "Your a pathetic weakling. Even your teammates behind you barely have any magic.." He laughed out a bit and shot a crystal at me. Lidia however made a wall of fire which turned it into water upon contact.
"I've always 'hated' the fact that I wasnt blessed with magic like everyone else in this world..." Asta then thought back to the hell he faced on earth. He then thought 'Since I came to this world too. I was deemed as a failure by the queen and everyone else..'
Asta gritted his teeth and flew at the man. "I wasnt born with cool powers like the rest of you but..." He got closer to the man and he made a wall of ice. "The power I was granted with...The teammates I was granted with..!" An image of Me, Lidia, Kaida, and Nero appeared in his head. "IS JUST FINE FOR ME!!"
He pierced the ice wall and struck the guy in his chest. "What!?" They both fell backwards and hit the floor. "Your going to pay for all of these people's deaths..." He twisted his sword a bit. "Starting With your Death!" He went down and the man slowly screamed out.
"Asta...Can kill so easily?..." Yeah....This....Wasnt in the script was it? Asta was then hit with some ice from the side and he quickly put his sword away into his sword storage. He then flew at us and I caught him.
"I'm tired...Of these Bastards..." He spit out some blood. "If They Killed these people for their Masters...Then I'll do the same..." I guess...This wasn't the exact same Asta...
This one did come from a normal world like earth. All of that bullying however must have changed his mind set. All that pent up anger and frustration was getting the best of him and....I wasnt going to stop it. He always hid behind his smile on earth but in this world, he can kill with pleasure..
"Damn Brat! Your ruining all of his Plans!" He made this huge ice spear and shot it at us. "These people..." I let asta go. "DONT DESERVE TO HAVE MAGIC OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER!!" He rushed out and I stared at his back. He thinks that magic should be used for good still. Seeing how it's not, hes become downright....Pissed.
Asta was then hit back because of the fast paced spear. He kept getting up however while saying "NOT YET! I WONT BE DONE YET UNTIL YOU BECOME DUST UNDER MY SWORD!" The robed people fliched and sweat started coming down their face.
"We need to leave now sir!" One of the robed guys said. The white haired man nodded and checked his pocket watch. He gritted his teeth and put his hands. "DO IT! NOW!" He commanded the robbed people and they slowly nodded.
"Forbidden Ice Magic.." I felt the air pressure change a bit. "Ice Meteorite!" They screamed out at us and we slowly looked up. The pressure around us dropped even more and the clouds parted. "You guys have gone far enough..." I frowned and put my hand out.
"Your Magic is barely more than this kid who has no magic! What do you think that you can do That!?" He screamed out and pointed at us. I then smiled and said "If ones Magic power far surpasses another then it would seem that way...."
His eyes slowly widened. "Your...very weak old man...." The ice meteor came down and I paused it. "You...Stopped it?" His eyes shot out and he fell back a bit. The robbed people then slowly turned into dust. I guess this was the effect of a forbidden spell..
As I was thinking that, one of the guys who was half nothing and half human teleported away.
"I'm What They Would Call The Time Master..." I rewound time on it and the meteor went back into the clouds. It then disappeared and he backed up against a wall. Me and Asta then walked up to him and he said "Kill Me! I don't need to live in order for his plans to succeed!!" Slobber was coming out Of his mouth.
Me and Asta then looked at each other then looked back down at him. "You were lucky enough to be blessed by magic and yet...You used it in such a horrible way..."
Asta put his sword up. "I..Will End People Like You. People Who Abuse The Innocent For Their own Personal Gain." He then swung his sword down so hard that it was able to slice the guys head off. Blood spurted out and we started at the headless body.
"Ex...perience?..." Asta said while shaking a bit. "I got....Experience?..." He looked up at me and I starred at him. "You...Did The Right Thing. There is no changing these types of people..." I patted his shoulders and walked away. "Couldn't you just rewind time so we can capture those people?"
I looked over at Lidia and stared. "Well?" She starred at me aswell and I frowned. "We...Cant do that. Well we can but were not allowed too..." She stared at me and and Asta did aswell. "Why cant you?" We stared at each other and I said "The first Time Master made that rule and we have to follow it. He said 'Whats done is done. Everything thats happened is for a cause that's bigger then us.....'"
"But you can go to the future? That doesnt make any sense..." From talking about the past to going to the future?....."I can go into the future with my own intentions." She stared at me in confusion and I continued. "What I mean is that if I'm going into the future to just see what the weather would be like then it's fine. If I'm going to the future to kill someone then it will mess up the natural order of things or something like that..."
I looked away and stared out. "What happens if you go back in time like now?..." I looked back at her and said "You. Dont. Understand. Lidia...I.. cant..." I sighed out a bit. "Going back in time...To stop those people would be me messing up what's already happened Lidia. With Kaida, I was able to do it as she wasnt meant to die that day. She was supposed to live even longer so when I brought her back, Time let it slide...."
Cant changed the future with the intention of altering everthing. Cant changed the pass with the same reason.."Time Master. Your reasons are stupid. But I can understand them..." She turned back around and slowly walked away. "You Time Masters have your bullshit reasons. You've proved many times that your different then all of them so why do you follow their rules.."
She walked out of my sight and I stared out. "I wouldnt...But I would lose it all..." I may have time magic, which is said to be the most powerful element but its...The most dangerous aswell....
If a Time Master disobeys the First then their powers get taken away by him. Time, Fire, Water, Air, Earth...All of my elements...Would just disappear...
This wasnt know to anyone but us Time Masters. "You dont need to go back in time. We will find those people eventually and Destroy them." Asta patted my shoulders and walked passed me.
I stared at his back and turned around at the dead piles of bodies. "Sorry People. If you were breathing even a bit then I would have healed you but your souls are already gone. I cant interfere now." I started walking away with Nero waking up.
"Dont worry....You did...What you could.." She patted my head with her small wings and I nodded.
