Chapter 350 350: Out of control
Amane was not sure why, but she had a headache the second she woke up. And then the whole attack with Kelly had occurred which made her headache and her body ache worse.
She had fucked around many times, but this was the first time Amane was feeling tired and her legs had no strength to hold herself up. So as soon as an opportunity had occurred to head out of the mansion, Amane had ended up taking it.
The guards led her around but they were there only as a decoration. Amane did not need these guards to come with her.
"Lady Tsurugi, we are at the gate. Is there anything else you want us to do?"
The guard asked as he took his guarding position. These guards had a newfound respect for Amane's strength. They now knew that they could trust her judgment and her strength.
"Huh? No, there is nothing else you can do for me. If anything, I should be the one asking this question. You all look worried. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Amane asked and the guards looked at each other with concern before looking back at her.
It seemed like there was something they needed help with. But they were all too shy to ask Amane for help outright. It had to be expected with the kind of job these people were doing and what kind of connection they had with Amane.
"Lady Tsurugi, if it would not be too much of a bother, then can you look at one place? There is something we need your expertise on."
Amane was surprised when the guards asked her for help outright. She had expected this to take a few tries before she got these people to open up to her. But this was a welcoming result nonetheless.
The guards took Amane to a small well that was deep and dark. Even if Amane investigated its depths, she could not see the end of the well easily.
"This place is-?"
Amane asked the guard but she did not finish her sentence. The guard bit his lip as he looked down as well.
"This is an ordinary well. But we call it a well of death. Occasionally, a bat-like beast comes out of here and bites one of our comrades. As a result, a lot of our people die from blood loss. Is there anything you can do for us?"
Amane looked down at the well. But it was too dark for her to see anything. She also felt annoyed by the darkness. She wanted to look down but the darkness would not allow her to.
'Tsk, this is annoying. Oh well, I guess I can always try out the traditional method of beast exorcism.'
The bat beast was not a precious species of beast. It was a pest and highly dangerous for the human species. Amane decided to check out to situation but she laid out a barrier around the well first.
She only left herself inside the perimeters of the barrier and watched the other guards being pushed out.
The guards had experienced this for the second time. But they looked just as amazed as the first time. Some of the guards even tried to push against the barrier, but it did not budge.
"Lady Tsurugi, what are you doing? You should let us inside the barrier as well so that we can assist you."
One of the guards yelled desperately as he looked Amane in the eye. His desperate sound reached Amane's ears but she only felt amused to hear those words.
"Aww, you all are so cute when you worry about me like this. But there is no need for you to be worried about me here. You see, unlike you people, I can take care of myself just fine."
Amane assured just as the first bat came out of its hiding spot and attacked her outright. It did not even glance out of the barrier and the guards felt nervous to see this happening.
But before the bat could harm her, Yoko raised her hand and snapped her finger. The guards watched in fascination as her skin began to peel off and small black patches began to peel off from Yoko's skin.
"W-What is that? What are you doing?"@@novelbin@@
Amane looked up, only to notice how nervous the guards looked when they stared at her. It seemed as if they were looking at a freak right now.
The way these guards looked at the blood butterflies was a little funny to Amane. They all looked scared but fascinated at the same time.
"Don't worry. Things will be over soon. There is no need for you all to be worried."
Amane assured before she let the butterflies fly out and down the well. The butterflies might look small and delicate, but they were some of the strongest creatures on the planet. And Amane had trained her butterflies to be resistant to poison, fire, and physical pressure.
These small things were almost invincible and Amane used them to clear out the well in record time. The guards looked surprised when Amane raised her hand the butterflies came back to her. This time, they had a reddish tint to their body.
As soon as they were all done settling down, Amane opened her bag and took out a candy. It was used to replenish the lost blood and Amane quickly chewed it.
She also let the barrier down and placed a seal on top of the well.
"These creatures will not worry you anymore. My pets took out as many pests as they could find inside the well. But if you still see any more bat-like beasts, do tell me. I will come back to finish the job I started."
Although Amane doubted that any of the bat-breasts were left, she still did not want to risk it. It was better to call for help if you were facing any problems.
The guards looked thankful for Amane's help but she was beginning to feel a little bit off. Rabelais's power was beginning to act up in her body and Amane was not sure if this was a good sign.
'I did not even use this power, so why is it acting up? I don't have a good feeling about what is happening right now.'
Amane's hand twitched on its own. Sparks of magic flew out of her hand and toward the well. As soon as they entered the barrier, a small blast occurred which surprised Amane as well.
This was beyond dangerous and would have caused the ground to collapse had the blast been any stronger. This was not what Amane had wanted to do, but her body had acted on its own.
"Lady Yoko, what is wrong? Did anything happen that caused you to attack the well suddenly? If so, then is there anything we can do to help you out?"
The guards had full faith in Amane and her abilities. They did not question Amane when she attacked the well and made it sink.
Amane did not have an answer for these guards to explain why she attacked the well. She did not want to say that her body did this on its own. That would be irresponsible to say and it would also worry the guards. It was better to make an excuse as to why this happened.
"Don't worry so much about the well or the beasts that live in here. They will not be able to harm you in the future."
The guards looked relieved but the same could not be said for Amane. She looked down at her hand but it was back under her control for now.
'What happened just now? Did someone try to take control of this body? Did the real Yoko decide to come back? But why? Why now? It all feels too complicated. But I am sure that something big is going to happen soon.' Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
The dream Amane had about Kori no longer felt like a dream. It felt like an omen of bad things to come.
......
"All systems are online. We are getting a response for our secret vault. Hurry, inform Lord Chen of this."
"The energy rating is too high to measure. Our equipment has started to malfunction. We need to keep the machines under check. Should we disconnect them now? They will get harmed if we keep it running."
"Oh no! One of the machines broke down. It cost so much money. What are we going to do now?"
The ground of scientists ran around like headless chickens as they watched what was happening on the screen. They all could not believe what they were witnessing in front of their eyes.
Only one person took his time observing what was happening. And that was the dwarf genius, Professor Cardin.
"It's finally happening. We have managed to revive a god. This is a historic moment that needs to be recorded in the books. We finally have what we wanted all this time."
Professor Cardin had tears in his eyes but they did not fall. Instead, he looked beyond happy at what he and his fellow men had managed to achieve with his powers. The place where their god rested was the chamber no one was allowed to go into.
And now, it was finally opening to show them the first glimpse of their god.
Before they all could notice it, they watched Lord Chen walk into the storage room and then the cameras went out. All the scientists were left in the dark about what was happening.
