"Oh, i'm back again here. Tell me what you want, Ei."
{Alright, You're going to practice as usual,}
"Sure, I'll be right on it."
As he practiced along the way, they talked about some stuff.
{Hey, I noticed that someone is looking for you, I had intercepted someone's call earlier, seems like some high-profile people is trying to kidnap you.}
"Shit, what's their level?"
{5000~ish, I have found out that they have some backups too, Ode seems to have noticed it, and He already called the Forest Union to take care of it}
"Is Ode that High-Profiled?"
{When I gathered information about him, there were no traces of such thing as that, but i've contacted some high-ranking AI's about it, they said that he was a Royalty}
"How big of a royalty is he?"
{Prince-Level royalty, that's all they said to me, his father is rumored to be the level 100.000 elder of the Tangled Deer species}
"Tangled Deer species? So that's his species... So, when is this backup going to come?"
{It is already here, beside your room. Waiting for the ambush. Be careful, they have levelm 10.000's in there too, there'll be 2 level 10.000's powerhouses beside your room, and i have estimated there'll be a level 10.000 too in the enemy side.}
"Alright, so, what's your plan?"
{I already purchased a rare book of Magacry, it contains teleportation stuff, and it'll be good enough to escape level 10.000~ powerhouses.}
"Wait... I checked that book, and it was very expensive, how did you get that?"
{Hisydema gave it to me after i leveled up to level 1000}
"You're level 1000 already?!!"
{Yes, and my observation skill is now on (Mythical), that's how i get exp so easily. Next time, you should do it too.}
"Yeah, yeah, sure."
{Alright, you still have 10~ hours before the ambush started, learn spells now, or we could die}
"Yeah, i'm working on it."
1 hour.. 4 hours... 9 hours...
"Alright, thanks to you, i already mastered some."
{How much?}
"985~ish"
{That's a big number for a mortal}
"Yeah, i think i'm talented in this aspect, oh yeah, i already finished the book you gave me, the one with low-level spells."
{Good, now wake up, you need to be ready.}
"Alright, see ya."
"Hey, Aden, wake up."
"What's going on?"
"You slept before i can even tell you, back then i sensed someone with a bad intent towards us."
"Oh... Should we fight him?" Aden pretended not to know about the matter
"No, he's on a much higher level than us. I'm afraid that it's not just him," Ode replied
"Shit, what're we gonna do then? Sitting ducks?"
"I have backups and I think we'll be fine here, just mask our presence."
"Sure, but if this doesn't work out then what?"
"We'll hope for the best."
Moment after Ode exclaimed that, a boom was heard. The door has been forced open, and before they can disguise themselves properly, the enemy already commenced the attack.
"Shit." Ode almost shitted his pants
"Shit." Aden almost pissed his ass
A silhouette appeared, there are 3 creatures that can be seen through the dust fog, there are a lion headed man, a snake beside its right, and a werewolf on its left, after that, a voice rang.
{That snake is level 1500, and the lion is level 7500, the werewolf is the hidden master, level 10.000, there seems to be another one behind the lion, but i can't really be sure}
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Okay, i'll prepare some spells."
Seeing Aden is commencing mana-based spells, Ode got surprised, it was only four days and he already can do some spells? even if it's a low-tier one, it's still surprising enough.
The lion-man started to chant some spells too, and one by one, bright rings of fire started to appear, it appeared majestic, and huge.
The werewolf started to chant some enhancement spells, his muscles started to move around and bulged, his size is also greatly raised, his yellowish teeth also expanded, he looked like a killing machine now.
Then the one behind the lion appeared, it's a akin to a frightening squidward. It looked like a lovecraftian nightmare, its skin purplish jade, its eyes that reflected the bright galaxy, its height that stands more than 2 meters, it felt like a god had arrived.
The Nightmare spoke whilst speaking in an ancient language
"Humble people, I would refrain to ask for questions, but, that thing inside your head... may we take it?" It looked at Aden emotionlessly, waiting for Aden's response.
"I'm afraid that i can't do that, dear sir." Aden replied in the same language as it spoke, thanks to Hisydema's language mandatory gift, he can speak with countless races now, and he can easily master languages.
{Shit, he wants to capture me, i think it's because of that AI...}
'What AI? so it's YOUR FAULT?!!'
{Sorry, just wanna to gather information, but surprisingly it caught me!}
'Dont do that again'
{Okay...}
"Alright, because you don't want to, unfortunately we'll force you."
Then, something akin to a warp effect from star trek appeared, and the man was already in front of him, a nanosecond after that, the squidward was flying, looks like the backups have acted. The Deer-headed man punching the squidward was sent out flying too, unconsciously, Aden held Ode's hand, and activated a 4th dimensional access magic spell.
They dissapeared as if they weren't there in the first place. Only a fourth dimensional creature can access the 4th dimension, but with the appearance of Magis, blessed by the Godkin itselves, could allow a 3 dimensional creature to go into the 4th dimension, but only those who are affordable enough knew of this, this spell could access to 6th dimension, but no more than that, every dimension could be a safe place when one faced danger, but beware, many dangers lurk the higher the dimension is, and more restricted your actions will be. Higher beings are almost endless, everything is nothing when one sees the grand scales of the omniverse.
They could do none but observe the fight, escaping would be dangerous, since there are many 4th dimensional beings residing in Omnicael.
The lion started roaring then, he dissapeared. a cat-faced man with a big scar shot many arrows from his crossbow, the arrows seems to trace the lion. The arrows seemed majestic, it felt like he was watching a laser-trace minigun back from Earth, and it felt like this crossbow could destroy a ship or two easily.
The lion seemed overwhelmed by the sheer amount of arrows coming at him, his defensive shield is already broken beyond repair, the cat didn't give him much time to recover himself, every arrow contained an explosive matter, and if they didn't explode in the outside, they would explode in the inside.
The lion scoffed, and then spoke. "You are so troublemaking." A sword with a dragonskin hilt appeared on his right hand. Then he began activating the weapon, a silver glow seemed to surround the sword, then, the dragon heads on its hilt bursted fire, but it goes upwards, making the weapon cool and fierce.
"Slash." The lion spoke calmly.
A fire slash broke down the arrows, the arrows seemed to have intelligence, so they started avoiding the slash, circling around the lion.
"Halo."
Then he swiftly do a 360 degrees slash, then again, the arrows were broken down.
The cat smirked at the lion and spoke calmly. "Second form, Allied Hives."
Then, the crossbow seemed to have infinte ammo and started to shot arrows like crazy. It reminded Aden of old hacks from some game when you could be godlike without recoil. The arrows that it spat out were varying in colors, seeing it, it looked like fireworks exploded everywhere, spitting colors.
The lion repeated the halo again and again, but it cannot keep up with the sheer number of arrows approaching him, so he started chanting some magic. The cat stopped its attack and summoned a staff with a golden crystal on top of it, and started gathering mana.
Seeing the both of them chanting spells, both sides tried to attack both spellcasters of the opposing sides, but always failed.
The squidward seemed to be troubled, so he summoned an emblem, in the emblem there was a symbol of a golden drake and a sun on top of it, and started activating the emblem, covering him and the others.
One of Ode's backups also summoned an emblem, but it was different in colour, the squidward was much of more a majestic golden vibe, whilst the backup's much of a green forest vibe, in it, there are four faces to be seen, a Tangled Deer, a 2-Headed Werebear, an 8-legged unicorn, and a Manticore, in the center of it was a hand of a dragon. The protective shield layer already shielded all of them when both spellcasters finished, it was a nice timing.
"Rank 10 Spell, Hellgod!" the lion screamed
"Rank 10 Spell, Hivelings of the Gods." the cat spoke.
The lion was coated with blackflame, then he was consumed by it, remaining just a black oil, then, the oil started spewing more oil until almost 10km of the room was coated with oil. just then, black fire spread. The fire grew until 300 meters tall, and then a figure could be seen, it was the lion, the lion was not even resembled his old appearance, it looked like a shadow lion, it really felt like something out of Bob Psycho, with cool effects spewing out of it, and then, Aden recalled something.
'So it is an enhancement spell.'
Then, countless portals appeared out of nowhere, and from those portals many lines of thin ice started to attack the lion, at first it didn't even approach the lion before it dissapeared, and more and more started to attack the lion, the lion that were just stood there seemed to have sensed danger, so it stomped, and black flames devoured everything on its path, he controlled those black flames and attacked the portal, trying to stop the lines from coming out, alas, it was useless. The lines seemed to overcome the flames, eventually freezing the black flames, the ice lines started to get frenzy, they started to change color, from ice blue to a bright purple, the lines started to have cool effects, like big auras started leaking greatly in each every one of them, the lines seemed to wait until they've completely change. And then, they started moving fast, so fast, it felt like beyond the speed of light, the shadow figure started to scream in pain, it tried its best to disperse all the lines, and more kept coming, then, tornadoes and storms of ice started appearing, the shadow was surrounded, like a man inside a huge hurricane of purple ice, it cannot do anything.
"Hehe, Checkmate."
Then, the Squidward chanted some spells and all of them were gone, the cat was previously happy changed into a furious anger, he screamed
"COWARDS! COWARDS! COWARDS! BUNCH OF YOU!"
Then his anger changed into a crazy maniacal laughter, then to a series of crying. Aden felt like he was seeing not a bipolar, but a Quadrapolar mental illness.
"Your majesty, You're safe now, You can come out." a voice sounded
