Act II Part 3

Ah, it feels great.

I almost forgot about life in the mountains, it's so clear and calm.

Staring at the setting sun while sitting on a boulder on a hill, felt quite romantic. And the silence of the world with small whispers of the birds just added a cherry on top of it.

Now that I don't have to worry about some godly beings coming at my ass, I can calmly think about my next action.

… I have no fucking idea. What should I do now?

[Train. Your body is still slowly adapting to your dragon bloodline, but the speed of adaptation is abysmally slow. Start with physical training, it should fasten the assimilation process. Once done with that, we can start with swordsmanship. There is already someone at your side who knows it. And he doesn't seem half bad either. Coming to this world, I must say you are in luck partner]

You think so? I guess he is right. Jumping to a new world and landing exactly at the place near a person who knows swordsmanship, luck does seem to play a huge role.

I stare down at my hand, crimson energy flowing out of it. It was not as potent as the Power of Destruction used by the crimson-haired devil, it wasn't bad either.

[Magical Energy Generator huh. With its use, there is no energy in the world that you cannot create. Really, I want to meet that mysterious deity even more now]

As Ddraig had said, with the use of [Magical Energy Generator], there was no energy in the world that I couldn't create.

This energy in my hand currently was [Destruction Energy]. Alone, it was not potent at all. It was just energy waiting to be used after all.

But if I had the same spell as the [Power of Destruction]crimson haired devil had, by fueling it with [Destruction Energy]its potency would increase by a lot!

In short, I had all these energies waiting to be used but had no spell to put them into.

[Despite being mostly useless, it is still very dangerous to use raw. You should be careful with it]

I bent down and picked a stone from the side, the same crimson energy coming out of my hand, the stone started to slowly decompose before turning into dust.

It wasn't potent but not useless either.

[It is not bad. For starters, it is good actually. The more dangerous an energy is, the harder it is to control them. Once your body fully turns into a dragon, you'll have access close to infinite mana anyway. It is better to get better at manipulation before that happens. You wouldn't want to lose control of your spells midway]

Ddraig was right. Just now, I had only created a very small amount of [Desteuction Energy]and I already felt like it was getting out of hand. I guess that is what the system meant by 'can create but not control' in the ability description.

I could create any amount of any energy, but it would all be raw, controlling and using it as the source of a spell would be a completely different thing.

[Partner]

'Yeah, I know.' With a thought, Boosted Gear appeared in my hand. I turned around and looked towards the dense forest, feeling something approaching.

My senses were getting better and better with each passing day, that's why, I could clearly feel that whatever this was, it was not a human.

[ It's like he has been cursed]

'You can tell?'

[Hmmm. I have seen something like that before. When a Youkai gets consumed by Chakara, but it's different at the same time]

So no idea huh. But I am surprised that this world also has supernatural entities knowing that there is no mana in the air.

Finally, whatever it was appeared out of the forest, taking me by a surprise.

"A human?"

"Ah well, I was planning to make my way towards the village, but I don't like crowded areas… it seems that my luck is going great."

What the fuck is he talking about?

"Hm? Huh? What is that sword? That's not a sword that a Demon Slayer would use. Dammit! Almost scared me there!"

Demon Slayer? There are demons in this world?

[I doubt it. Demons are beings of mana. In a world without any energy, their existence shouldn't hold. Deamon, they must be referring to someone or something else]

'Oh! Maybe like the person in front of me. He does give me an inhumane smell.'

"Can I help you with something?" Let's start civil shall we? With my current body, I would rather not fight. Also, I still don't know how to fight…

"Yes you can." He smirked. He raised his hand in a claw motion, his nails extended out like a blade. "By becoming my food!"

It lunged itself at me. I raised a brow realising how fast he was, definitely faster than any human I have seen before. But, well, that is to be taken. He is not a human after all.

'I can see him.' I took a side step, missing the claw that was about to cut my neck. Another step back and another claw, going vertically upward for my face was also missed.

[That is to be expected]

While dodging through the attacks of this… thing, I listened to Ddraig.

[He is barely even low-class. With your current stats, fighting a brawl with low-class should be a piece of cake. It is no surprise that you can see through his attacks]

I see. That makes sense now.

"Stop dodging you bastard!" He shouted with frustration, his attacks getting frantic. He really isn't the best at controlling his emotions.

Dodging another claw, I swung my sword upward, cutting through the arm that he used to claw him. He screamed loudly, clenching his cut arm and glaring at me.

"Idiot! As if such a wound would do shit to me. Hahaha!"

"You were screaming like a pussy a second ago." I snickered but then my eyes widened. It healed! His hand healed completely!

"Do you understand now? I am a demon! Immortal! I can't be killed!"

'Really now…' I barely stopped myself from rolling my eyes. This kid really was taking some special drugs.

Immortal my ass. Let us see if you can still heal if I cut your body into many pieces!
