Chapter 205: The Dangers of the Other World
Kyouya is conflicted hearing the choices. His face tells me he is not sure of what is going to happen once he declined. Mind wiping is a bit too vague even for him even though it is the literal meaning of what will happen to him if he declined the chance.
"I don't know... I am still unsure whether I have to do this or not. Getting my revenge on them is something but changing my whole lifestyle just for a single power is another matter."
Yami tapped Kyouya's shoulders. "We are not forcing you. We are giving you a choice whether you want to continue your normal life or throw it away and gain magic powers. You are always free to decline."
"Why do you need to wipe clean my memories? Can't I keep my memories intact without being forgotten at all?"
"That is not possible. It is one of our protocol and to keep the anonymity of the magician world's existence to the public populace. We can't let you return back on Earth without your mind restored to the way it was before to ensure the secrecy," Ishana explained.
Kyouya bit his lip. But he didn't take too long before he give his response.
"I have no choice but to accept. There is just something strange in my mind that detest the mind wipe. I want to keep on remembering especially the things that my classmates have done. I will get stronger and I will stop them from trampling the weak!"
"It is nice and all Kyouya but you have a long way to go yet. Since you just officially joined us, go a bit to the back for now and watch for now. Things will get messy for a little bit," I said and activated my flames.
Yami frowned as he whip a sniff in the air.
"Demonic Beings again..." Yami prepared his magic too.
"Since you have yet to learn any magic spell for now, you should sit back and relax for now. You can also study the enemies we are going to fight against with so that when it is your time to fight with us, you won't have any problem dealing with them," Ishana said and ready her index finger pointing out in the distance.
One of Inari-sama's foxes picked up Kyouya which almost terrified the young man after seeing how big the fox that picked him up from the ground. He panicked at first and screamed a little bit before he calms down when he realized that the fox did not meant to harm him as the fox put him to its back.
Soon, the enemies that we are anticipating are now on sight. Unlike the first demonic beings I encountered in this world which is in the form of a dog, the demonic beings right now are taking its appearance in birds and zombies alongside with the skeletons with their chests glowing red.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The first one to release the attack is Ishana using her finger gun, that once aimed to a target, a blue laser beam pops out from the tips of her fingers. Yami, like usual, covers his hands to flames and immediately started attacking like madman against the demonic beings.
Ishana has her attention full on flying demonic abominations which is a little bit plenty, giving only Yami a choice to fight against a horde of skeletons.
"Don't be too reckless man, just because they are skeletons doesn't mean we have to underestimate them," I reminded Yami.
"Hmph, don't remind me, I am fully aware of the dangers I am getting myself at."
The skeletons vary from different attack styles but they are all bearing the same weakness, the chest area where their cores are usually placed. Due to the easy nature of these guys, I didn't use my magic spells and just did a body part strengthening to avoid wasting my mana against these monsters.
PA! CRACK! SLAP! BOOM!
I took the time to keep my flexibility intact and keep the enemies at bay by doing hand to hand combat. Enemies are much easier to deal in physical ways, compared to when you are alone. The Skeletons are too weak and just by a single rip from their cores, they will immediately collapse. The zombies on the other hand needed some traditional way to kill and that is to smash their heads to pieces or anything that destroy their brains. The moment they are killed, they will immediately be reduced to ashes.
"The demonic beings are too many to just disregard! What is going on?!" Ishana frowned as she continue to shoot down all of the demonic beings who are all able to fly.
"We can think about it later and defeat them first!" Yami shouted before he continue his attention to the demonic beings.
I look back to where Kyouya was and I saw Kon and the other foxes did the job protecting him from harm.
Just as we thought things will be almost over after we managed to thin out the demonic beings, I suddenly felt stronger wave of danger once more, much stronger than the demonic beings. Activating my [Insight], I saw the incoming enemies which are going to be troublesome, flying in the distance.
"Undead wyverns spotted! Kill them all in sight!" I shouted.
"WYVERNS?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Ishana shouted when she heard the word of undead wyverns.
Not only the wyverns, I am also seeing big snakes appearing on the ground as big as a building pillar. They are quite big and they are quite a threat if you are not prepared enough. I am just wondering how do the cities and empire are capable of sinking enemies similar to these guys despite not having the real source of power with them and only relies on Philosopher's stones.
It didn't take a few minutes before the demonic beings in question have appeared.
"This is getting interesting! Hahaha! I don't think I have to find a stronger enemy right now! THEY ARE NOW COMING TO ME!" Yami laughed maniacally as he ignited his whole body and started slaughtering whatever in his way.
