Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 717 244 - Fateful Night (Part 5)

The amount of spiritual energy fueling the law of Capricorn suddenly increased despite Aku thinking that he was already giving it everything it could possibly take.

But with the change within himself came the change with his environment – all of a sudden he realized that he doesn't have to dodge the trees and the rocks...

... because he could make them get pushed away by merely thinking of the earth moving around...

|Wha...?! What is that?! A level above the normal star levels?! Is that a thing?! GOOD! I CAN REACH KIERUL FASTER NOW!|

Not even realizing that he had broken into the void star level of the law of Capricorn and tapped into the dominion over the element that said law corresponded to, the masked attendant clenched his fists and continued rushing ahead utilizing this new power for increasing his tempo even more!"

Now, he really had a chance to get to Keirul within...!

"Little fucker."

"?!???!!?!?!?!"

As an inkling of hope sparked within Aku's heart, the blue-skinned woman appeared in front of him without any traces of being tired or strained and scoffed at him, swinging her baseball bat and unleashing a devastating attack right at the boy's head...

*)#^%$@#!&)* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Aku dodged the brunt of the attack by the skin of his teeth but the kinetic energy and the shockwave that the hit unleased flung him away like a ragdoll while the entire mountain top was cased to exist, shaven off by the single swing of a baseball bat.

*WHAM*

The masked boy broke through a couple of dozens of trees and finally stopped, embedded into the inner side of the natural cave that he involuntarily broke into.

"GH-AGH...!"

Aku spat out a mouthful of blood inside of his mask and his head hung down as the impact momentarily knocked him out.

Still, only a second or two later the law of Virgo's healing power brought him back to his senses and he began to excavate himself in a hurry...

"Hey. I only asked you to remove your fucking mask. If I was more like my mother I would already blow your fucking head off."

"!!!"

Aku's feet just barely managed to touch the ground when he jolted up at the sound of Strawberry's pissed-off voice.

Despite the distance that the masked boy flew, carried by the shockwave, the blue-skinned woman found him within seconds without giving him a moment to compose himself.

"Well, to tell the truth, if I was more like my father, you would be dead from the start..."

"I need to..."

*WHAM*

Strawberry tilted her head and breathed out reflecting upon herself which gave Aku a shade of hope that she would hear him out – the black-haired boy was even reaching out to his mask to remove it as was originally what the blue-skinned woman wanted, but within a timeframe so short that Aku didn't even register it, Strawberry was already right in front of him, hitting his chest with the base of her baseball bat...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Even the idea of making a sound was outlandish when the wood connected with the boy's star-powers-augmented body causing an explosion that not only erased the cave but created a massive crater in the side of the mountain.

"...weird... The last time we fought hitting Unbreakable sent jolts of pain through my arms that made me want to vomit... Is it the wrong guy after all...?"

Standing in the very center of the crater right by the twitching body of the masked boy with his chest caved in, Strawberry tilted her head and pondered.

"Princess! Did you already forget what date it is in this dimension? Unbreakable is younger than when we met him previously!"

"IF it is him."

The four-winged dragon finally managed to catch up with its master and bellowed at her from above – although she dismissed it with a shrug.

Then she raised her bat above the boy's head and let her arm fall down naturally.

*THUMP* *crack*

The business end of the baseball bat caused a cobweb of cracks to cover the porcelain and after Strawberry raised it again and her weapon on her shoulder the bottom half of the mask crumbled first, revealing the horribly wounded half of the face.

The left side looked bad enough with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his right side which didn't even have any skin and muscles, to begin with, gave off a truly unsettling image.

"..."

Seeing the injury, Strawberry furrowed her brows as if holding back a comment that the Unbreakable she knew would suffer such a wound.

"...!"

And her patience was rewarded when the rest of the mask crumbled down revealing the full face of the sobbing boy.

"Yeah, that's definitely younger Unbreakable... Why is he so weak though...?"

"!!!"

Strawberry took a good look at the face of the boy barely hanging to his life and nodded with a confused expression – her words caused even more tears to gather in the corners of his eyes just to flow down regretfully.

"Princess... See? He IS younger than when we first met him in the previous timeline of this world. It looks like he simply didn't achieve that level yet..."

"...oh... oooohhhh... Whoops...?"

The four-winged dragon landed by the blue-haired woman's side and bellowed repeating itself which finally seemed to get through its master's thick skull causing her to make a ditzy expression.

"He will be fine! Let me just check whether Perseverance messed with him or not~"

Still, her remorse didn't last long – if she even felt it to begin with – and Strawberry reached out her other hand above the boy's body and her eyes shone with faint white light.

"...nope... that's not our fucker... But it's weird... The only part of Unbreakable that Perseverance has messed with seems to be his memories... Like, the majority of his experiences and memories seemed to be just taken out! Why would the god in charge of this world do that?"

The blue-haired woman took back her hand and furrowed her brows, deeply concerned.

"...hmmm...?"

She looked up, tapping her chin with her index finger and her brow shot up when she noticed a speck of green light shoot through the hole in the sky at the last second before the crack completely sealed itself breaking the connection between two realities.
