Chapter 25- Monster Island part 4 (Power Up)

“Glad you’re finally awake sleeping beauty.” I joke as I start to notice Dean starting to wake up.

“How long was I out?” he asked groggily. Rubbing his eyes, as he turn his face back and forth and give me a questioning look.

“What?” I ask him, knowing he was going to ask me something,

“Where are we?” he ask.

“Inside a house.” I answered back.

“How?” he wondered and then it dawned on him. “Of course, you’re wonderful super convenient ability, which I’m not sure if it is a rare rank “Weapon Calling” as you say.

“Let’s just say. I am a God when it comes to understanding my ability and how to use it properly.” I smirked.

“Right.” Dean replied with a dean pan voice. “I’ve never heard of a weapon caller before. I’ve read a lot of books, concerning all kinds of abilities that surfaced in history of Fantasia but among the rare, super rare and unique abilities. Weapon calling was not listed. Which is strange considering it’s only a rare rank ability. So a few people should have surfaced and have been recorded, having the same ability as you.”

“Hmm. That’s true, it is strange. But even if the same guy has the same ability as me, they wouldn’t be as powerful.” I replied confidently.

“Why?” Dean ask sceptically.

I smirked at him. “Because of personal knowledge.” I said mysteriously.

“Not even going to ask.” Sighed Dean.

“Is the dire wolf’s mother still alive?” Dean ask suddenly.

I pursed my lips and simply shake my head. “No. The dire wolf and six hyenas were all found inside, half eaten by those six Giant rats.”

Dean look at the puppy who was sleeping beside him, He gently stroke his grey fur. “Don’t worry buddy. I’ll be taking care of you now.” He whispered softly.

The wolf whimpered and cried out softly, its eyes still close.

“He must be having a bad dream.” Dean said sadly.

“Oh well. I’m hungry so I’m going to eat, feel free to join in the dining room when you’re ready. Mia has prepared quite a lot of food.” I mentioned as I exited the room.

*

A few days has past and Dean was finally in his top condition again.

“Vectre. I’m going to go back out on the outer layers of the jungle to train my techniques against the F rank and E rank monsters. That should help me improve, in terms of managing my mana usage as well as how to use my abilities effectively. The monster cores they drop is a huge bonus too. How about you, what are you going to be doing?” Dean ask after telling me about his game plan.

Thinking in my head. I realise that I got nothing to do for the next three weeks and two days. Oh well I might as well explore the deeper regions of this island, while collecting the monster cores. I don’t need it, but I have the sudden urge to set a record in collecting the most beast cores in the history of the academy or the whole world.

“I think, I’m just going to explore the deeper regions.” I said.

“Well okay, be careful. Don’t get too overconfident and underestimate your opponent.” Warned Dean as he turned and start to set off back to the outer layer of the jungle.

“Before you go. Have this.” I shouted at Dean, while manifesting a silver ring filled with runic symbols.

“What this? Dean ask and he caught the ring that I threw at him.

“It should protect you.”

“Shall we set off now master?” ask Mia, while tilting her head at me cutely.

“Not yet. Let’s go back into the capsule house. I need to experiment some stuff with my powers.” I explained.

While thinking about my ability and what it can do during those few days of rest. I accidentally find out the disadvantages of having this ability despite it being completely over powered.

Against assassins or speedy opponents, I realise that my ability will be completely useless, since they can either kill me before I can use my ability or move fast enough that they dodge every attack I can throw at them and then kill me.

My reflexes and combat ability is still not very good. What I need to do is find a way to strengthen my body. And then an idea hit me.

Since I can summon anything that is considered a weapon or any technology. I can just summon magic nano machines in a liquidised format that is customise to bond with the soul, enhancing my speed, strength, reflexes, eyesight and many more plus it gives me the ability to heal any damage as the nano machines will just create new cells or a new body if I get shredded to pieces at a moment’s notice.

Inside my room. I circulated the mana outside my body as I prepare to manifest the nano machine in front of me.

The mana nearby started drifting in front of me, creating a gigantic whirlpool. They slowly start funnelling and take shape, as they compressed into a small translucent pill.

The process took half an hour.

I pick up the floating pill. My body instantly turned cold as I felt the terrible power packed inside this tiny translucent pill. I can see something moving around inside the tiny pill, which I assume are the nano machines.

“Well here goes nothing!” I said nervously, as I shove the pill quickly in my mouth and swallowed before I change my mind.

“ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” I scream. I could feel my body being torn apart from the inside. The nano machine are disassembling all of the cells in my body and fusing with it as it assembles it back. It was the worst torture imaginable. You could literally feel every single one of your cell, being shredded and reforming over and over again.

“ARGHHHHHH!!” I screamed again, louder this time. As my bones melt inside my body. Blood was gushing out

everywhere. From my eyes, ears, mouth and my nose.

“I REGRET EVERYTHING! WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!” I cursed as I screamed in agony.

I could faintly hear, Mia calling out to me. She has smashed the door apart to my room and is screaming ‘What’s wrong’ over and over again, as she held me tightly. Her voice quivering in fear.

I could feel her tears as it drip down on me. My vision is darkening and slowly I’m unable to feel anything.

“Am I going to die?” I wondered as darkness takes over.

*

“Urghh!” I groaned. I blink slowly and sat up while yawning. I felt like I had the worst nightmare. I remember the screaming and the agonising pain.

I notice I was in Mia’s arms then I start to remember everything and my brilliant plan to power up. I look around and was startled by the amount of blood plastered on the walls, ceiling, the bed etc.…

“Damn. I did not want to experience that again.” I shivered against the memory. I am literally traumatise.

I stood up and started stretching. I automatically feel the difference. My body feels stronger, my hearing and eyesight drastically improve.

I feel that this is not even half of what I can do. I’m not entirely sure what it has done to my soul but I’m just going to assume it’s a good thing.

Nano machines are literally inside my body and my cells. I can sense them, moving around my blood stream. I can even interact with them and give them commands via telepathy.

“Command: Overdrive!” I ordered. The nano machines then vibrated and started giving out a new form of energy. I could sense my power level rising to unimaginable heights.

I lightly threw a punch in the air. What happened next was shocking. My fist move at the speed of light, generating a powerful shock wave that travelled in the air, making it look the surface of the air has crack.

The capsule house exploded and the force of the punch travelled deeper into the jungle. It eliminated anything standing in its way. Trees disintegrated, the ground shook and cracked making the whole island tremble.

My eyes was wide and I stare at my fist in awe and excitement.

“I didn’t realise, it was this powerful.” I exclaimed.

Mia was now awake and staring at me, face full of tears.

“MASTER!!” she cried out and latched onto me tightly.

“I thou—I thought, you were going to die. I thought I wasn't to see you again” She sobbed. Burying her face in my chest.

I smiled wryly. “Sorry.” I rubbed her back soothingly, hoping to calm her down.

While I held Mia in my embrace. I ordered the nano machine to collect the beast cores that was inside of those that was killed in the blast.

A tiny robot slip out from inside my body. It then created more of itself by using the mana in the air as energy to replicate more of itself.

The tiny nano machine slowly grew larger and then break up into ten separate parts. All ten lump of nano machine changed itself to humanoid forms and went off to my follow my command.
