"Andrew, you jerk! Get me out of here. I want to fight as well." Mike shouted as he sought to free himself from the chains that bound him. These were metal chains that he couldn't break with his strength. Not to mention that his body was still bandaged.
"Nope! I'm not going to let you out, no matter how loud you scream. This is for your own protection. Not to mention, the girls are nearing the end of the fight. We appear to have gotten our hands on one of the flags. Fortunately, we won't have to face that monster." Andrew shook his head and switched his focus to Mike.
They weren't letting Mike move no matter how hard he tried. Mike's wounds were scarcely healed, despite his remaining stamina. They could open up at any time. Mike, on the other hand, was baffled.
After confronting Sword Demon, the fire within him began to blaze brightly. He desired to work out more and get stronger. However, in doing so, he almost completely neglected his health. As a result, they had no choice but to chain him.
After a few moments, three girls entered the spaceship and changed back into their regular attire.
"Woah! You two are in a lot more pain than I anticipated." Andrew gave them a short glance after noticing their injuries and was taken aback. There weren't many bruises, but they were all deep. Their skin had been scorched by their adversary's fire.
Their bones were also broken, and they had several cuts. Alena, on the other hand, still held a flag. The flag was a red rectangle with three stars in the center. Andrew instantly unleashed his flames after taking the flag from Alena's grasp in an attempt to mend them.
"Anti-Thermo-Radiate Energy Glass! It's no surprise that standard trackers couldn't find them. They appear to have put a lot of money into this stage." Andrew was taken aback when he learned the price of anti-materials. Then he turned to Mike and stated, "This must be why your lightning couldn't sense it."
"Anti-Matters are typically the polar opposite of all matter present in our universe. They are extremely difficult to locate because standard technologies cannot identify them. Because Anti-Matter and Matter do not intersect in normal instances, it is difficult to anticipate their position."
"However, if you employ Anti-Matter to look for it. Then it is possible since every type of collision generates a specific wavelength of energy. Your lightning is the result of an imbalance between positively and negatively charged particles."
Andrew abruptly returned the flag to Alena's hands and crouched down. He looked at Mike and stated, "I'm not sure why your lightning is so feeble. When you used the lightning bomb, it should have produced a temperature roughly six times that of the sun's outer layer, which is thirty thousand degrees Celsius."
"That is the heat generated by a natural lightning bolt. Is it because your strength is insufficient? Or is it because you are unable to achieve a proper equilibrium of positive and negative charged particles? "
When Andrew asked the inquiry, Alena and Tori tapped their brows, tired. But Mike's eyes lighted unexpectedly. "You mean, I can boost the force of my lightning?" "
"Based on all of the theories and statements I've read about lightning, the most prominent way would be enhancing the qualities of negatively charged particles and positively charged particles in your ability energy."
"In order to do so, you must first study more about your ability energy at the atomic level. Given your scientific understanding, it may be difficult. However, you may perfect it in a classic manner." Andrew responded with a gentle nod of his head.
"Traditional method? You're not telling me to get struck by lightning, are you?" Mike's expression changed instantaneously as he heard that. That would nearly be a suicide attempt.
"Of course, but I'm not referring to natural lightning. Do you think I'm naive enough to believe you can survive in the presence of lightning that can heat the air to 30,000 degrees Celsius? It not only generates heat in the air, but it also annihilates you."
"After all, lightning is a type of chaotic energy caused by a charge imbalance between positive and negative. I'm telling you to employ lab-created fake lightning. You're heading to the King's Academy, aren't you? There are numerous training grounds that provide lighting."
"You can gradually perceive the positive and negative particles in your ability energy by adjusting the lightning to your limit. And, as a result, your understanding of lightning will grow. Normally, people may grow it efficiently without even recognizing it. But if you realize it, it will be a huge benefit to you." Andrew finally stood up after explaining.
"All right, I'll try when I get into the King's Academy," Mike responds with a nod of his head.
Andrew turned around with a nod of his head. But then Olive says, "Andrew, wait!"
"Hmm!" Everyone is perplexed by her call, but they remain silent because of her unsettling face.
Olive had a conflicted expression on her face that was preventing her from saying anything, yet she still wanted to say something. As a result, it took her two minutes to speak.
"Thank you to everyone for everything you've done for the team."
But then her expression shifts and she becomes solemn. "But I can't let you guys off the hook during the fifth battle. For me, it's either death or ranking in the top ten!"
Pat! Pat!
Tori and Alena slapped Olive on the cheeks in front of Mike and Andrew's stunned expression.
"You!!!" Olive was perplexed and irritated by their slap. Tori, on the other hand, rushes up and hugs her from the right, saying, "Do you think I don't know how much this tournament means to you?"
Before Olive could respond, Alena hugged her and asked, "Do you think I care about the tournament? I've already accomplished more than I could have hoped for. This tournament has no meaning for me."
"You two! Waaaaaa!" Olive falls into tears at hearing her words. Mike and Andrew remained mute, having no intention of interfering.
'Do you have a method to aid her, Claire?' Mike questioned his own thoughts.
"Yes, but she will be barred from having the Heavenly Maiden Title as a result," Claire shouted up, but her voice was impersonal and frigid.
'Is a title really so significant than life?' Mike inquired, perplexed. He couldn't figure out why Claire was speaking in such a hushed tone.
"It's not for her, it's for you! Reducing the number of Heavenly Maidens may have an impact on your future. I do not recommend that you utilize it for the sake of your life. Remove her twin sister's talent and place it on her." Claire's tone couldn't be colder.
At this moment, Mike was getting angry. He didn't expect Claire out of all people would suggest something so inhuman.
Mike was becoming enraged at this point. He hadn't expected Claire, of all people, to suggest something so heinous.
'Are you insane, Claire?' Do you believe I'd do something like that?' Mike yelled in his head.
"Would you listen to me?" Claire talked to him in his consciousness.
Mike remained silent for a brief period before responding, 'Yes.'
"The System has various upgrade constraints. Each improvement allows Host to gain a better understanding of his talent. As a result, upgrades are required. The upgrade requires Heavenly Maidens and Supreme Fairies."
"If you can't win their hearts, you won't be able to improve the system; similarly, if you lose even one of them, you will face severe consequences. So, keep your cool and plan for the future." Claire's voice was chilly and uninterested.
'You're mistaken, Claire. From all the stories I've read and the experiences I've had, humans are always trying to achieve something they can't succeed at, even if it means risking their lives. We fought nature even though we knew we couldn't win."
'I fought the Sword Demon while knowing I couldn't win. She, too, will do the same. Claire, you have no idea what I'm talking about. Because you are not a human being. She must have some sort of goal within the Divine Tomb.'
'She will undoubtedly endanger her life once she arrives. That is why we must save her. Didn't you notice anything during the battle? Except for me, she was the one who suffered the most. However, she did not use more than two attacks. Her talent is almost a curse for her.'
'Her life is more essential than system upgrades.' If I can assist her, I will go to any length. Isn't that what God of Sex is meant to do? If he wishes to profit from his relationship, he must also support her. So, tell me what I can do to assist her.'
But when he asked, he didn't get a response.
'Claire! Claire, please respond! 'What exactly happened?' Mike yelled in his head, attempting to contact her. He suddenly remembered.
'You don't understand, Claire. Because you are not a human being.'
'Damn it! Those words had to have hurt her.' Mike clenched his teeth and exclaimed, 'Claire, I didn't mean it that way.'
'I was mistaken. That was a mistake on my part. Please forgive me! Claire!' Mike kept shouting in his head, but she didn't say anything.
'Damn!'
