"You are slow," Michael remarked, getting on top of the Pegasus.

"And you're fat. Why are you so heavy for a mere child? Huh?" The Pegasus remarked with a scoff.

They had made a deal which included Michael giving 35% of his current mana to the Pegasus, and in exchange, it would take him up.

It was not that big of a price, as he was expecting more.

Nonetheless, the Pegasus was shocked by the amount of mana he had, as despite it not increasing, when he evolved into whatever race he currently was, it had increased by several times.

His mana costs decreased as well, and with added proficiency, he would likely be able to cast Divine Judgement with only 25% of his mana.

However, since it was a skill that scaled off how much mana he input at the start, it was best to keep it as high as it was.

Therefore, Michael buckled up, as he had made a saddle of light.

"You're going to go, right? I don't have all day," Michael stated, making the Pegasus flinch in anger.

"You are a brat, how dare you speak to me like that!"

Nonetheless, he ignored its tantrum before it eventually calmed down.

And finally, with a flap of its wings, it lifted off the ground, carrying Michael with immense pressure.

It had definitely not slipped his mind to check out the Pegasus's strength, and safe to say, he was left greatly surprised.

A Tier 9, maybe even a Tier 10.

Ever since he got off his world, he met so many new people, and a lot of strong beings as well who could crush him as though he was an ant.

They flew up; however, as they entered right above the clouds, Michael was suddenly hit with a gust of seemingly normal wind.

Yet, he couldn't move his body, toppling over and falling off the Pegasus.

What the... Why am I... Michael stared at his legs, which were still on top of the Pegasus in shock.

Nonetheless, it flew down and grabbed his collar with its teeth and threw him back on.

"You have to avoid those, else you'll die. Unless you are already dying?" The Pegasus beamed. "Quick, give me all your mana before you die, you won't regret it!"

"Be quiet..." Michael groaned in pain, as he threw his lower body overboard, watching as it fell down.

But in its place, a new pair of legs grew back, followed by the rest of whatever he needed.

His healing was simply way too powerful now, yet he was still a bit frightened of having his head cut clean off; better not to try it in the first place.

Just as he thought it was all over, he saw another gust of wind approach.

However, this time, he was prepared, sort of.

Stretching out his hand, he summoned thousands of miniature shields on top of one another, blocking the attack easily.

Or not so easily, as his arm was completely crushed by the pressure.

This is so not fun. Michael frowned, and with the help of the Pegasus, made his way toward Xylo and the other being.

Yet, the closer they got, the more pressure they felt.

Especially the Pegasus, it was trembling in fear with each meter they got closer.

"Come on, mend yourself together," Michael said, but that seemed to do not much, so he pulled out his secret weapon. "I'll give you more mana."

That seemed to immediately perk the Pegasus up, as it suddenly dashed at high speeds, much higher than before, as it finally arrived in the vicinity of their fight.

But he was shocked at the sight, since instead of a normal sky full of clouds, there was one massive fissure in the air, spreading cracks across everywhere.@@novelbin@@

"Hey!" Michael shouted, trying to get Xylo's attention. "We need to get moving! Also, you should probably stop before the watcher intervenes!"

"What watcher? Our watcher is dead," the Pegasus said with a tilt of its head. "It has been since the start, we don't have guardians either."

"Huh? Then how does your world function? Aren't they supposed to be the pillars?" Michael asked.

"Pillars fall, and then they are rebuilt. There are top Eldritch beings who took up the mantle instead, becoming watchers and guardians," the Pegasus explained. "In fact, the strongest being is the watcher, and he's likely the strongest being in all of existence simply because he has the powers of a watcher."

Michael raised a brow. "Aren't they beings who are supposed to remain neutral?"

"That's only the case if they are born as watchers and not become them. In fact, screw you!" The Pegasus flicked its head over to him. "Why am I telling you all this information when you're not even paying me, you prick?"

"I'll give a tip, don't worry," Michael lied through his teeth, and soon, tried his best to summon something out of mana.

However, it was to no avail, as the mana was not even responding to him.

The only thing that did was his natural healing factor, and even that was significantly slowed down this high up.

Speech Mana Core though... He pondered for a moment, clearing his throat.

He still had a decent chunk of mana left, definitely not enough to hurt the beings in front of him, but likely enough to at the very least, get their attention.

"Stop!" Michael shouted, his voice reverberating through the air, when all of a sudden, his throat felt like it had closed up.

That was simply the recoil of using all of his mana for the mana core.

Nonetheless, that seemed enough, as just for a slight moment, they paused their battle, taking a glance in his direction.

Yet as they did, they took notice of the massive fissure that had formed, and with panicked looks, suddenly sent their manas outward, enveloping it and slowly shrinking it.

"Take me closer," Michael said in a stiff tone, his throat hurting with each word he spoke.

"Payment now," the Pegasus said adamantly.

Sighing, he decided to comply, touching the Pegasus's head, and sending 15% of his mana into it.

"Oooooooh!" The Pegasus let out an excited shout, making Michael feel uncomfortable like earlier.

"Why do you shout like some sort of masochist? Just take the damn mana and take me closer," Michael said with a snicker.

"If only you could experience the euphoria I do when I receive mana... You would be yearning for it every single waking moment," the Pegasus responded with shallow breaths.

A shiver went down Michael's spine. This fucking perverted horse.

Nonetheless, despite their audible arguments, they got along pretty well, for the most part.

Therefore, the Pegasus brought him closer over to Xylo, who was still panicked and tried his best to close the fissure.

Michael felt like he could finally breathe properly, and his mana was not as restricted anymore; therefore, he stretched out his wings, floating in mid-air as he approached Xylo himself.

"You nearly killed me," Michael said with narrowed eyes. "I give you a body and this is how you repay me? I am truly speechless."

"It's not my fault, this is a great enemy of mine," Xylo replied, glaring at the blue giant right next to him.

"Enemy? I am your older brother!" The blue giant yelled. "We were born in the same egg, and yet you have the audacity to call me your enemy!? I will kill you for those words."

"Haha..." Michael let out an uncomfortable laugh. "Keep that for later please, I need to get to the mountains."

"And who the fuck are you again?" The blue giant asked, sending over a wave of pressure to Michael.

Nonetheless, that was soon intercepted by Xylo.

"Brother, you should try not to injure my guest, he's a special one after all. He's the one who made me this body I fought you in."

"Huh? Really?" The blue giant looked at Michael with shock. "This body is your doing?"

"It is," Michael nodded with a smile.

It seemed like another person had arrived for him to exploit.

"Also wait, you said guest right?" The blue giant's eyes widened. "Xylotharax, does that mean the stupid request you took on eons ago was finally completed?"

Xylo put on a proud expression. "Why of course, brother. He's someone who came at just the perfect time." His eyes narrowed. "Since if he didn't, then I wouldn't have had the chance to beat you."

"Ha!? Beat me?" The blue giant took his arms off the fissure.

And as he did, the space suddenly cracked in front of all of them, dying the sky a bright green color.

"Oh shit..." Xylo said with trembling arms. "Brother! Stop fucking slacking and put all your energy into it! If they come over to us, we're fucked!"

"On it!" The blue giant replied with an urgent look, when all of a sudden, the pressure that he had felt earlier, which caused him to fall down to the ground, returned.

Just this time, he was in between such pressure, making him momentarily dizzy, as he stumbled back and sat on the Pegasus.

"Back already? This seat is going to cost you—"

Michael interjected by injecting 5% of his mana into the Pegasus, as it let out a happy hum.

These muscle-brain idiots...
