Chapter 12: Power Overcomes All
Chapter 12: Power Overcomes All
Zooming off deep into the ice fields, Ella mumbles to herself upset "That boy, he is so determined and loving, but we are from different worlds unfortunately and my father will be looking for me and trying to take me back and won't let me leave, I am not even a human and I don't think you could accept me and it was just a false dream if only he could save me from the fate of being a trapped princess," as tears streamed down her face.
"From the moment I saw him my senses could feel that he had a powerful fate, and he was the only one who I felt comfortable and similar with, we are both lonely and have been through a lot. But this is goodbye I guess, and this dream was cut short.
I felt a mutual connection with him and although slightly awkward it was touching what he was willing to do to prove himself, but fate didn't allow it," the heartbroken and upset Ella that lost the only person she ever liked and felt a connection, exclaims as she lets out the anger caused by helplessness on the nearby beasts.
Awakening in the infirmary and painfully sits up,
{Ding, the host has killed 1 LVL 12 beast, 5 LVL 8 beasts, 8 LVL 7 beasts, and 15 LVL 6 beasts, and has gained 198 points making your current balance 474 points}.
[A system where has Ella has gone to], he asks, worried about the only person he felt a positive connection with since birth.
{Ding, Ella has headed to the ice fields to strengthen herself, does host want to hear her last words within the vicinity of my area scan}.
[Yes, please system].
{Ding, her last words were: "That boy, ...", "From the moment I saw him...."}.
As her last words resounded through his mind, his fists were clenched so hard my nails pierced through my skin as blood began to leak.
[I am so weak. I can't even stay with the only person in this damned universe that I liked was taken away from me, I must be strong, so strong that I can overcome anything, strength is all that matters, and no matter what you are Ella, I will accept you and when I am strong enough and able to protect you, I will come to get you].
[System is there any way to send her a message].
{Ding, the host can use 100 points to send an eye message to anyone within 1000 miles, and will appear in front of her face, does host wish to send your previous thoughts as an eye message for 100 points}.
[I must reassure Ella and 100 points can be gained, yes].
{Ding, 100 points have been spent and the eye message has been sent}.
Within the ice fields battling an ice golem, a message appeared before Ella. 'I am so weak, ....'. Reading this, tears streamed down Ella's face.
Titan Punch.
Sending a punch that launched a golden fist made of pure energy, full of power crashing into the golem destroying it in one blow.
"Lex, I believe in you and will wait for you" she states hopefully with a smile on her face heading deeper into the ice fields.
Sitting on the bed he felt as if a weight has been lifted to be replaced by another one, he got to tell Ella what was in his heart but was too weak to do anything about it.
Despite the interaction only lasting a day, Lex still felt an undeniable longing towards her and although it might be naive and slightly forced, he wasn't willing to give up on her.
"I need to train" he utters as he gets up bearing the pain and staggering towards my room.
The same thing, the school corridor, he was bullied, and in this corridor, he is ridiculed and laughed at, but he was not one to give these weak scums the time of day.
However, before he could enter his room, his weak body is tripped up by Ella's pursuer Jaydan Wilkes that was most jealous of Lex being in Ella's group.
Falling face-first onto the ground without being able to react and save himself due to his current weak body.
"Ella has left the base and is going to ascend and leave this planet, or at least that is what the note she left says, so now I am the leader and you were the last person with her so your weak, ugly self must have scared her away" he announces in a ridiculing and blaming manner.
Struggling to get up with blood seeping out of his nose he is kicked by Jaydan in the stomach sending me sliding down the corridor.
[This bastard is much stronger than I am and is now the leader of the base, I can't do anything now but will remember this humiliation].
The gap between LVLs is quite large and is difficult to be covered by skill, however, the gap between LVL 11 and LVL 90 is like heaven and earth.
"Please base leader allow me to recover within my room and I had nothing to do with Ella leaving" pleads Lex pretending to be scared.
BOOM.
Once again without even seeing him move he is booted sliding further down the corridor.
"You dare say her name peasant" exclaims Jaydan in rage.
Turning around and leaving him on the floor vomiting more blood from his already weak and injured body.
[Once again shows me that only strength can overcome everything].
No one dared to help Lex and go against the base leader and the people jealous and envious of him being in Ella's group laughed at and ridiculed him as he crawled to his room door.
Scanning his watch onto the door as he crawls into his room, as the door automatically closes behind me.
Withdrawing an LVL 5 giant ant's corpse he uses his Telekinetic Control Eye to control one of the daggers on his belt and launch it into its skull over and over again. After a few hits the skull cracks and under the continuous attacks it shattered revealing a mushy brain.
Slicing into the brain and revealing a small black crystal, he lifts the crystal towards himself and places it within his hand. As the energy streams into his body 60% was transferred into his energy store increasing his Energy LVL, while the rest unlike others when it is dissipated, was diverted by the system strengthening my body and as a result, healing his body with it.
After taking up 5 LVL 5 beast cores and resting for a day, his body was completely healed and strengthened massively. His LVL settled at 15 as the spare energy was used to heal and strengthened my body.
"Time to leave this place to hunt and train" he mumbles as he gets up to leave, knowing he had no place staying in this base.
