Chapter 249: Mechanical fortress [1]

“There’s no end to these freaks!” He ran onward to the golem whilst passing by a horde of demonic hounds persistent in ending his life

[This is bad! I didn’t think they’ll improve so much after a day. We can’t let lose that Golem, it’s our only clue so far. But dealing with these freaks isn’t an option, but they’re too annoying your spells aren’t that fast… the only way is to fend them off]

“Aren’t you forgetting something? I can’t generate anything but there’s no way it’ll be breached if I do this… come forth Fellinarus!!” He dangled through the trees and with his every touch this unmoving pile of wood changed into a demonic and gluttonous tree

[I forgot you have that skill. But why aren’t you using it? There were tons of places where you cove used such a skill. These monsters packed an incredible amount of force]

“The summoning cost isn’t a problem but their spawning is, it takes about a minute or so… a minute can easily cost me my life, remind me to learn a spell to generate some trees. Having the fellinarus is one of the greatest combos I could’ve ever dreamed of,”

The forest grew restless in the dead of night for most of its towering trees became a monstrous manifestation. The hounds that sought after his life would undoubtedly meet the vines of his minion’s skewering their bodies and finishing them off with his flame. He stands on top of the biggest fellinarus where he idly sits back and cast a bombardment of spells

’I always forgot how fucking amazing being a mage truly is, I can just sit my ass off and let them do the rest. Oh right… the golem, it’s not that far I’ll make a few more fellinarus before we leave this desolate forest. Im kinda tired after all that fighting, let’s just order this fellinarus and the others to pursue the golem,’

Without anything else to do, he lies back on the fellinarus for a wink of sleep. “Sage wake me up when we get there…”

It wasn’t even a second and he fell from a deep slumber. In his dreams, he saw a figure blurred for him to accurately depict its form. That figure lowers its gap once it treks closer and closer to his body

“You…” He’d heard the same glitchy voice the moment he set foot on the memory of the world

“The end is near… you must assemble the missing piece. It’s the only way. Death is inescapable, nevertheless, you’ve become a being that defies…”

The vivid dream faded upon his eye engulfed in the radiating light and his ear bombardment by the screams of his deity. “What the was that? Can’t my vision speak in a detailed manner? I can’t understand what it meant…”

([Rewrite system: The vision has been recorded! You can visit the triggered vision by choosing the function ’Recall’. Any vision that you gain will be stored for every single piece plays an important role])

[You’re finally awake. If you slept any longer then you would’ve died–]

He leaps to the sky and quickly cast Telaria and hovers through the sky after escaping such a life-threatening attack. The fellinarus he spawned were targeted by a radiating beam that one-shots his gigantic summon. He turns and faces where the beam originated from and how saw what seems to be a mechanical fortress held by four towering feet. He saw the Golem walking toward the moving fortress and one of its feet came forward retracting to form an entrance

[That must be one of the entrances designated for the Golems… I can detect dozens of firearms ain’t in scale to the destructive power of that railgun. What do you think? Risk your life and go to the main entrance or follow the Golem and meet tons of deadly machinery]

He took a single look at the spot where the gigantic fellinarus once stood and not a single twig remain for him to spot. “I think it’s pretty obvious, don’t you think?”

The remaining fellinarus charged ahead and follow through the Golems track and Morris flew closer to the top. The firearms Sage mentioned appeared and they quickly lock to his spot without a doubt. He evaded their bombardment after he activate his eye and calls forth Telinteous, lowering his form but increasing his speed

[System: You’ve chosen the Telinteous the Tiny Terror as the chosen form]

’Just like I practice… maximize the volume and perfectly angle the trajectory. Radiant footwork, Radiance…’

His body eventually flickered with such a dangerous amount of energy charging at such an incredible rate before it was released. He broke the sound barrier and with his size, his presence became nonexistent and before his collision, his demonic eye changed in power. From a minuscule form, he became a towering figure with a pair of horns twice the size of his body

[System: You’ve successfully changed form! Raneus the Ram grants you an extra pierce rate of 30%. Whilst in this form any kind of charged attack will deal an additional 50%. Horns can be adjustable and anything struck by the horn will have its resistance and defense lowered by 25%]

The seal protecting the top was shattered by his attack and before the Golems came running to his spot he up and left. He left a chunk of wood embedded in his circle and he warped from the city to the hands of his summons. He takes a breather once the coast is clear and before he moves he waited till his energy was back to its peak

[Nice idea! We wouldn’t need to travel if we have something to warp to. If things go south we can warp the circles we’ve made. It’ll be best if we make tons since the world tree has noticed our presence. You saw it right? Those machines were out to get you, I think we’re in the right place. The question is where shall we look?]

’There are tons of places to go to, but first, let’s check this area, I saw the Golems carrying what’s left of those people. The drop point must be near, I need to find some people to uncover this whole thing. They’re the only thing that the World Tree didn’t lay its hand on. I assume that it can’t change the flow of the memory so I can easily escape its attacks if im near the people,’

“Can I ask something? Who are you and what are you doing here? If I remember correctly I didn’t assign anyone, so the question remains are you a robber? A criminal perhaps? You escape the city halls and manage to get here at the only possible exit,” He’s held at gunpoint by a man that came without any form of presence and he stood there frozen in shock

’I thought I can’t interact with anyone!!? The world tree doesn’t affect the movement of the people… wait, could it be?’

“Looks like you still refuse even after I ask, say goodbye–”

“Makino!” The man ceased his fire and before he could do anything he was dragged away from the shadows and into the light

“I’m deeply sorry! I didn’t think I’ll see one of the professor’s creations, but you are incredible. Fascinating I might say, uh oh I forgot! I have some business to deal with, Sir Machina you aren’t restricted to do as you please but this place is under construction at the moment,”

’Machina?’

He looks back at his palms and notices a change, it wasn’t made of flesh but something that felt similar in touch. His soft face was no longer and when slap it so a clank of metal was heard. He ran until he saw a glass wall and as he saw his reflection he gasped at the reality he currently faced

[System: You’ve successfully found the right moment to convey the clue! Your image has been changed for the following scenario that’s yet to pass. Congratulations, you’ve managed to find the first hint to fully understanding the mission]

’Wait a minute… this face, blonde hair, the face of Zen Bleightrol, and a body as short as a child. Isn’t this the form of Diabolous when he became my belonging? This doesn’t make any sense if im Diabolous then why is he here? Now that I think about it, I never once mentioned the requirements to gain the role of Demon King. Hugo got the hero role after helping tons of people and doing lots of deeds to raise his reputation. Most of the roles have their requirements but I didn’t write one for the Demon King… is Diabolous the requirement?’

([Rewrite system: Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! You’ve finally learned the truth! The reason for his inability to be summoned, your increase of power, and the mutation of your abilities. Diabolous Ex-Machina was written as a treasure but never has it has once been debuted. A mysterious generated plot has been discovered!!!])
