I smirked, knowing what happened, and I summoned Angel, and stabbed my heart myself, followed by me controlling Cheating machinations' blade to fly towards the one who stabbed me first, a person in a hat, while wearing a cloak.
"... Oww…"
I pulled Angel out of my body, followed by me quickly replacing my clothes with a copy, I then quickly turned around using the thrusters, I mean, replica artifacts.
"Who do you think you are to do such a trick…"
–How the hell did they dodged that attack?
No matter. {How did they moved Cheating machinations so that they can hit me behind my back with a rapier?... Weird.}
I looked at the future frame, and immediately, I found out that I can't see… {ah.}
–Well, you have 0.7 seconds to react to a rapier pierce to your stomach, what'll you do?
"Get out!"
I said so loudly, followed by me being covered in a fire circle, 1 meter away from me, while I'm inside the fire circle, they stopped attacking as they noticed I tried to attack, followed by me almost getting hit behind me, but I barely blocked it by quickly turning around with the replica artifacts and making a barrier using 10% concentration as a cost… {she's faster than me… that's troubling… she?... Why did I have a feeling that they are a girl? What am-"
I got stabbed on my heart once more, followed by me being slammed to the ground by a kick aimed to forcefully kill me, but I teleported to the ground before I got hit… tch, so much disadvantage, I can't see the future, I'm losing, and I already used like 22% of my concentration… which mode to use.
–Angel mode.
"Wing mode."
I entered the mode and immediately hovered using the replica artifacts, followed by me quickly continuously air dashing backwards, trying to run away from it.
"Like you're getting away."
I felt Darkness around me, but it isn't Darkness… {oh no, it's an illusion, I'm dead.}
I immediately spun in the air, using the magic spell Fire wings and immediately, it connected automatically into the Fire circle, connecting it to the fire wings, and the fire wings, go downwards as Wind mode's wings, which are invisible, are in the way of the usual position Fire wings was.
And I immediately raised Angel and quickly disconnected the 12 gears that the bow and made it orbit around me quickly, I then summoned Heat gazer to switch Angel. {I don't need Angel to continue wing mode anyway.}
I quickly spun Heat gazer in my hand for a second before quickly pointing it vertically up, and I immediately spun clockwise as a Dome of fire surrounded me, getting bigger and bigger until it broke off the Illusion spell I was in. The reason I wasn't hit while I was in this illusion is that I disconnected the 12 gears and made it orbit me so that it can protect me from harm…
–23 seconds left. Concentration is 60%
{That dome of fire cost me 3% of my concentration, huh… it's just a 2 meters to 20 meter fire dome… I guess it is powerful, so I guess it made sense why it uses so much of my concentration.}
I looked around, the small surrounding area around me is burned, and I accelerated towards the ground that wasn't burned by me as I quickly switched Heat gazer to Obliteius and using that and my natural Pure Darkness to cover my left hand in a large, and pure amount of Pure Darkness.
"Huh?!"
I positioned my left arm just backwards, palm facing them and a laser immediately shot out, causing me to accelerate faster and I distanced myself away from the enemy. The Pure Darkness then entered my body as naturally, it would do that.
–If I guessed correctly, they should've blocked it. Anyway… quickly do a Fire spin.
"Haap!"
I spun counterclockwise immediately as a circle of fire appeared around me, it then quickly starts to became bigger, causing it to become a makeshift dome, that somehow was destroyed, but I already guessed that would've have happened, albeit almost too late and avoider an attack, I then quickly did grabbed the upper arm of the enemy, and did a Vertically upwards flip kick, which was blocked by a rapier swing, somehow, but I immediately ascended using the two wings and I didn't get counter attacked, I then quickly grabbed her behind and started to accelerate, before lightly throwing her to the ground, causing her to hit the ground face-first as she violently slid backwards, I then shot a wind blade to make sure to stall her, and I just accelerated faster, down to the point that she can't catch up to me.
2 hours later…
"*Pant*… *pant*… my concentration…"
I coughed up blood for a second before I quickly started to feel pain in my head…
"... Too much heart attacks in a day… call Lea… I'll be back under the mansion… in like a day or… two…"
Nggn………
–... Well, guess hyper regeneration caused them to faint huh… even then, Atleus' is 100%... So their real concentration, no, it should be your mind that's strained a bit. [So by this, and using my understanding… ah, I see, the strain probably isn't permanent, but more so a cause of not being used to being stabbed in the heart… hmm… the number of times did they got stabbed for today in the heart is… 5 times?... I'm not good at counting anyway, so by all I knew, first, they stabbed themselves with a bullet, I'm sure it counts, then somehow got stabbed by their own sword, followed by getting stabbed by someone else, then stabbing themselves once more, which is… and also I guess I'm missing something, ah, getting stabbed in the heart by a dagger, now I remembered… so is it 5?... I'm bad at counting, did they got stabbed by a dagger at the heart?]
*Tzzt*
_Lea here. So, the answer is that I didn't bother to count, anyway, as it stands, due to the fact that hypothetically, Atleus got stabbed by many things scares me. At this point, I'm not sure if this will not have long lasting effects, but as it stands, it probably doesn't. So, the concerning problem is that I didn't know what happened, I was testing some items I made earlier, I will give it to Atleus later, and I gotta say, I'm proud of those items. And I guess farewell, say hello to the fainted Leu… Leus._
*Tzzt*
–?... Leu? [It's similar to Leus, which is Atleus, without the letters A and T, and due to that, Leu is probably a name… hmm… 9, 1,13, 12,5,21, 20,8,1,20, 9,19, 13,25, 14,1,13,5… I am Leu, that is-... Huh, so that's it huh. So the one who probably contained those wings in the container is a person named Leu, which does make sense considering this password… but then, who is it?... Leu, without even just joking, is quite similar to Lea, as well as Leus. I can even think that they're an important person… hmm cloning, Atleus, a person named Leus, stored wings into a container, an important person… a reasonable conclusion is that Leu is the person that Atleus was based on off… but then that doesn't make sense, the four clones are based on one person only, so no way it is another, but I do have to understand that maybe, the creator of Atleus is Leu instead? Hmm, I suppose that does make sense, and it also connects why Leu's name is so close to Atleus, because Leu is the one who named Atleus…]
–Hmm… [Angel mode isn't being used much huh, probably due to the cost of it being too high, he still has the ability to advance and gain one more 100% or 200% concentration plus… Anyway, if I opened all of my eyes, it would seem to cast a powerful and dangerous trauma on people. As people for some reason are scared of a sword with too much eyes moving controlled by me… oh, now that I think about it, that does sound scary, doesn't it? Thinking I'm a normal sword that is somehow a bit holy, and then seeing me opened my eyes, causing those expectations to broke down, cause it to… well doesn't matter.]
–Atleus then got teleported back to their own room, lying on the bed, as a demon with a similar face and almost a similar height, but just slightly, not easily noticeably taller than Atleus, snuggles Atleus as she, the one who snuggled Atleus, fell asleep.
–Ah. How cute… if only I had a reason why I described it though.
…
…
…
…
"Nggn… I should drink coffee if I faint this much from rarely sleeping…"
I said a joke about something, before looking around as to where I am, and immediately I found out that I'm wearing a bloodied jacket…
"Ah. I must be coughing blood in my sleep or something…"
{If I stand corrected, it's just a side effect of letting too much blood out.}
Anyway… someone's hand is bloody as they're hugging me, and I, like always, just got rid of the blood in my clothes, clean myself with magic spells, and clean the person who was hugging me, which is Leon as I have to do so.
"Hmm…"
I teleported to get away, followed by me immediately noticing that my head was feeling a bit painful… A terrible, and long side effect. Hahaha, it's fine.
I casted full heal to myself and the pain stopped. Anyway, after that, I entered Lea's lab.
"So, if I guessed, that one took 7 years to create."
"7 years plus a day to be exact… anyway, so how did you know? I didn't remember you being awake."
{Well, I entered this room, and seen just a single bracelet in the middle of the room, encased in a glass box.}
"Nope, I just guessed the item is close to 7 years old, not that I knew such an item existed."
I said so, followed by me teleporting the bracelet to my hand. It's a bracelet, similar to the 2 she gave me before, but there's a difference. This bracelet has a letter L in the front, and I wore it…
"So, what's the effects?"
I asked, not really knowing, it doesn't have enchantments, surprisingly.
"This thing can store like 100% of your concentration, and you can use it to restore your concentration. It's a rather simple item, rather, it having such an effect is quite bad, right?"
I didn't bother to answer her question, but I just… quickly put an enchantment into the bracelet. "Toggle hover", which let's you float close to the ground, without getting too high up, it does use concentration, but it can use the concentration at the bracelet itself as a supply.
"Well, it's better than I thought."
I said so, as I don't think items like this exist in this world, and if it did, it's mostly ignored due to the fact that only Mages could use it, and even then, I don't think Sages needs this.
I stored 70% of my current concentration to the bracelet, and grabbed a fire stone that Time slower has… I then put the fire stone in this bracelet, which what I would like to call the Leus bracelet.
–... So, are we done here?
Hmm? Not really.
I put back Time slower back to it's ring before gazing at Lea.
"So, do you think I could've help you with some errands?
I said so, while summoning Angel and lightly pointing to downwards, my hand is at the bottom of the handle, placed above it as the sword is pointed backwards.
"Hmm… well, not really, I could do some material gathering myself, but since you do want to do something, then try to find something important in a place I will teleport you in. Good luck."
*Fwoosh*
As I got teleported, I looked around the area, trying to have a general understanding of said area, only to be almost hit by a dagger… feels familiar.
"Hello there, my name is Atleus, call me Leus, and my best abilities are, combat, dodging attacks and that's all. While I'm a bit of a beginner at this type of job, please keep me."
I said so, while bowing and making a barrier around me to stop daggers from hitting me. I then immediately did a quick step to the right, followed by a dash to the left, and then ended it off by grabbing someone and kicking them away.
"So, does that mean I'm accepted?"
I mockingly said so to a forgotten person.
