CHAPTER 2 - RANK UP!

No matter how much I try those birds are not stopping the chase and I am already out of breath.

I was able to locate some adventurers nearby, according to their status they are very strong and might easily able to handle these devil bird.

But if only I can reach them before these devils reach me!

"boom" I tried to increase the magic output on the booster but it got explode instead.

[ED: it's just E rank, what do you expect?]

I flew forward from the impact along with bicycle, the bicycle turn into magic energy and disappear when I was still in midair, and I got crash at a tree.

Luckily none of my bones got fracture, but those birds are getting near.

"Ding" just at that moment I heard a sound in my mind, my favorite sound, 'The Rank Up'.

Yes my divine soul's rank has raised, now it is C rank, just at the right time when those birds arrive.

"[Create]" I hurriedly used Create and made a big shield.

Iron Shield - D rank

Description - A Five feet tall and four feet wide shield curved in a moon shape.

"[Create]" I used the spell one more time and created a handgun.

Magic Gun - D rank

Description - A magic handgun, it can shoot different types of magic bullets.

Guns don't actually exist in this world, I have copy this weapon from those isekai novel I read in my previous life.

I have intensionally left a small hole in shield for using this weapon. View was no problem as I can easily see and aim at my target through magic screen.

"Shot!Shot!Shot!" with three continues trigger I shoot down two of the bird. I did the same thing two more times but only able to hit single bird each time.

Before I could again use the gun, the two of the remaining birds have already reached the shield and start poking it with their beek, of course they can't break it.

"Step!step!step!" Just when I was wondering what to do next, I heard someone's footsteps, when I check with the screen, there was a woman with a sword.

She looks to be in her thirties, she has black hairs comb in a ponytail. She is taller than average and has well build body.

Name: Marry Blade

Race: human

Age: 35

Gender: female

Divine Soul: Emerald Sword

Occupation: Swordsman - S, Adventurer - S

The sword in her hand is seems to be a natural artifact, made out of a giant green crystal. It is definitely her divine soul.

Emerald Sword - rank: S < A <B

Description - It is a sharp sword made from magic emerald which is a very hard substance in itself. The sword allows its user to control wind element.

My God! An S ranked adventure with S raked divine soul, and mutated one at that what a terrifying woman.

Mutated divine soul are those that evolves after the awakening, its mutation depends on its user and some other factor, and it is not necessary that the soul's rank would definitely rise, sometimes it remain constant even after the mutation.

In case of inherited divine soul it refer to first awaken one, which a person got from its blood line or some other factor without any hardships.

That woman Marry just swing her sword as a razor sharp wind cut down the remaining devil birds.

That simple attack was so sharp that sweat run down my spine just by sensing it from behind the shield. I instinctively retreat the shield and the handgun.

"What are you doing here kid?".

"Er, nothing just passing by" I hastily blurt whatever came to mind.

"Passing by like this, do I look stupid. Where are your parents or could it be you have ran away from your house".

Just what I was afraid of "no there is nothing like this, act..actually I am an orphan" I tried to make an excuse but it don't seems that the lady believed me.

"Well we will see that later, you are injured so come with me".

"No I am fin..." Before I could complete my sentence, she held my shoulder and brought me with her walking at unbelievably fast speed like riding on wind.

After a while we reached a camp site, little more and I would have vomited.

"You came back aunt Marry" a little girl about 7 or 8 years old, came out of a tent, she has a rosy face and cheerful personality, she has long dark brown hairs and bright eyes.

"Who is he?" She asked while pointing her finger towards me.

"He was at the place from where the sound came" Mary replied.

"Are you fine" the little girl asked me, "you look injured, oh yea I forgot to introduce myself I am Sofia, what's your name?".

"Hello I am Ethan, thank you for concern but I am fine, please can I go now?" last words were to asked Mary.

"No, I need to ask you some questions but before that, Mia" she call a name and a lady looks to be in her late twenties came out of the tent.
