Chapter 183 Cry Me A River
Chapter 183 Cry Me A River
-Step!
-Step!
-Step!
With each step that I was taking, a creaky sound was produced, determining that the floor wasn't exactly safe to land and may break if I made any wrong moves.
With the UV-Lamp, the darkness was gone, and what was presented in front was a long ass pathway that didn't seem to end. But after traveling for another minute, I finally reached a den of sorts, which seemed more like a cavern.
Looking around, I saw the walls being covered by the same meaty slimy thing that the pathway was infested with. But, some parts were left, showing a metallic wall, determining that it was more of a shelter than a cave.
'Looks like there was a lab here before,' I analyzed the few broken instruments as I slashed down the slimy meat off the areas where the thing was elevated. It did reveal a few things here and there, which made me wonder what actually happened here.
I needed to find out a few answers which bugged me, so I pondered over something before looking at my System, trying to see if there was something that could be helpful in this situation.
'Let's try that here,' I thought after scrolling or a few minutes as I activated an ability of mine
[Call of the Fairies(Unique)]
[The world of the fairies is dying, but the fairies themselves have taken refuge on various planets. In return for saving the Queen of Fairies, Erina, the fairies have granted you their blessing. Summon the fairies to your aid to use the powers of nature for a limited time.
Effect: Allows the user to use a random Natural Element for 10 mins
Limitations: Can be used only once in every 15 Days]
I used this ability because of two reasons.
One was that I needed to clean this place, so as long as I don't get a really bad element, I think I should be fine. And the other was that I needed to finish things quickly here, and not end up destroying everything. So as long as I manage my power using this ability, I should be able to achieve both.
And then…
"We have been summoned?!!!"
"Who is that insolent brat?!"
"He looks cute!"
"Hmmm… what race is he?"
"Don't know. Never seen anything like that!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Who are you?"
"What's your name?"
Fairies coated in red, with blazing fire in their eyes, rose from the surrounding space. One.. two… five… a dozen… and more. Each of them was small enough to fit in my hands, each of them looked fiery enough to burn an entire human alive. Red-haired, with wings made of fire, they were flying all around me, trying to analyze me with their sharp gazes.
I looked at them with a slightly surprised gaze, as I could feel the heat on my face just by looking at them.
"It's Michael Aroa," I answered as I looked at them and they started talking again.
"Michael Aroa?"
"Strange name."
"Cute name"
"Makes me puke"
"What are you doing?"
"Are you the one who summoned us?"
"What are you, Michael?"
"What's your race, Michael?"
And hearing all those questions, I got overwhelmed a little as I just spoke,"umm… can you help me clean this place?"
"Sure"
"Done"
And within a brief moment, like a flash fire, the entire slimy meat was gone from there, leaving nothing behind. Not even a trace of it. After the entire slimy thing was burnt down to ashes, what was left behind was a lab made out of strange things. The instruments… didn't look like they were from this planet.
As a med student, I have been to too many labs, and trust me, there wasn't a single instrument that I was witnessing here that I had seen before. The shape was indescribable. The energy they were giving off was strange, and most of them looked broken, but still deadly. Even the craziest psychopaths won't be having anything like that.
'Just what kind of… being… was here?' I thought as I looked around the entire area, before the Fairies started shouting again, this time with a troubled and scared voice.
"Wait, a second!"
"There is still something left"
"It's strong!"
"It is!"
"Scary!"
"Scary!"
And then before I could contemplate anything… someone came out of the back door, which was presented after the whole slimy thing was burnt into pieces.
-Bam!
A woman donned in black opened the door with a kick as she looked at me. Her eyes charred in black as she looked at me, her straight long hair that matched her outfit. She was white as snow. Her dark eyes looked at me, piercing my very being.
"It's… her?"
"What is she doing here?!"
"Shouldn't she be dead already?!"
"The Angela!"
"The Witch!"
"Run!"
"Run!"
"Run!"
But even though they were stating that, they were unable to escape from here. Their eyes scared out of their wits, they looked at me as if they were begging and one of them shouted,
"Please Michael! Let us go! We don't want to die! Michael!"
And then…
That woman, covered in black, spoke as she looked at me,"How dare you destroy my creations, my work?"
And strange shadows began covering the entire area around me as I just looked at her. Soon those shadows covered everything around me, turning everything black. Even the UV-Lamp wasn't useful, as I just looked at where she was standing.
"Go," I spoke as I let those fairies go and they vanished in an instant, making that black veiled woman, Angela, look at me with even more fury.
"Suffer… for eternity," she declared as her eyes closed and slowly the darkness engulfed her, too. But before she could vanish, I managed to use [Inspect] on her.
