Regressed Reincarnation: How to Escape a Fantasy World!!

Chapter 113 - 4Months#11 Just Another Day

A few moments earlier…. Once again…

Morpheus smiles curiously as he looks at the Dryad Queen and speaks," Sure, why not?"

LIGHT'S POV:

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!... That bastard!..." I shout as I realise what Aether is doing. 

-Time Stop-

He stops the time for everything including the Dryad Queen, observes the surroundings. He then touches the ground and takes out his dagger, pricks himself slightly on his finger and takes some percent of the energy stored in it.

Then…

Every circle that Aether drew starts rotating at the same speed. Not only he is thinning out the mana, he is also creating a fake illusion of Magicules present around him. 

"Not only will it reduce the power of the opponents but also they won't be able to realise that their power has been reduced….but..such a thing...how is it even possible? It makes little sense…' I look at the whole thing with slight hopelessness... I really thought I would... match him as an equal someday...

Trying to understand how he did that, I look at his brain only to see thousands of calculations followed by another thousand derivatives all around his head space. 

Dark wasn't involved in it...it is all his own ability? It makes me wonder, is he really human?

Then the mana thins considerably around the forest area and he walks slowly towards a certain direction, where the magicule concentration is maximum.

'Probably, a few King class people are there.' I think as I sense them.

"They aren't at King level. If I were to say, then their power level is at Half King." Dark answers me, appearing beside me as we both observe what Morpheus is doing right now.

After walking for a few moments, we finally reach a point where the Half King classes are sitting.

'A devil and a devil follower,' I thought as I look at them sitting with their eyes closed. Aether moves towards one of them and draws a complex circle on her head, then another on her heart and then at her branches. Soon, he draws another, then another....

After drawing a dozen circles, he then looks at the Devil.

Ignoring him, Aether moves back to the Dryad Queen. After reaching her... he draws another circle different from the previous one on her forehead.

-Time Start-

After that, he continuously observed her movements and answers and made another few calculations.

Whether we should use the Dryad Queen?

Should we help them for free or should we take a fee and just keep it at the business level?

After making thousands of calculations and analysis as we reached back to the Half King Level duo. I see him moving and kicking the Devil down on the ground, transferring half the pain of the Devil to the other Queen, who is frozen a few distances away.

He then asks if he can kill the Devil. No... he is... planning a whole other thing for him. My eyes...look at his plan with pure stupefaction...how can he…. plan that far ahead?

He then removes the magical illusion and allows only the thinned out water magicules to remain. His circles removed any form of impurities from the water magicules, making it the purest water magicules I have ever seen. That water magicules absorbs the Devil energy and returns the Devils back to its original state slowly, purifying them. 

The Dryad Queen looks at him stupefied as she shockingly asks how he did it.

He moves towards the other Queen, who is simply frozen. Looking at her soul properly, she is more than just horrified right now.

Aether then allows her to move, and she looks at Aether with a horrified expression as she asks," w-what do y-you want from me?"

Observing her with a smile on his face that sends a shiver down the other's spine and a stupefied look forms on my face, Morpheus speaks, "Want to make a deal with me?"

'The Dryads... are in his palm, from now on' I couldn't help but think that way, when I observe his plans regarding the Dryads.

BACK TO PRESENT:

ELF KING GERALT'S POV:-

I look at the people standing in front of the stage where 3 'children' are standing with one in the centre and two against him at a distance.

"Hey, who do you think will win?" Adventurer Lilith asks as she looks at those children with an excited face as she munches on the popcorn. Adventurer Lucy sitting on her left makes a wry smile on her question and then looks at Lia on the other side of Lilith who is observing them with an analysing expression.

'Looks like she is taking the teachings of Morpheus to her heart.'

Zwain and the other Alfheim Branches, standing beside each other, observe the kids with a nervous expression.

Morpheus' party members seem to be discussing who will win, with most of the votes going to Morpheus.

'Morpheus said that he will use only limited power, equal to half of Icelos' current power.'

The referee...is me? 

'Sigh.. I am a King you know... but, well, I guess it feels good in its own way, huh?' I think before I look at the kids and nod. They nod in return and I take considerable distance before shouting, "Start!"

Morpheus stands, with a carefree expression, with his hands in his pocket. He observes the stage, without even glancing at the kids.

Icelos runs and reaches towards Morpheus and slashes him as fast as he can, but then Morpheus' illusion gets erased and Morpheus comes behind Icelos and almost punches him.

Icelos, being faster than Morpheus, dodges and jumps back, but then Morpheus' illusion turns into fragments and another Morpheus comes behind Morpheus. Icelos somehow dodges again.

Phantasos attacks with Wood and Light magic at Morpheus. The attack hits Morpheus... or yet another illusion, and the illusion disappears.

Two Morpheus appear, one each beside Icelos and Phantasos and move for a punch.

Icelos kicks the illusion once again using his momentum, and Phantasos uses Dark Magic and hits Morpheus... or his another illusion….

'Just which one is real?'

Then another illusion comes in front of Icelos and goes for a direct kick. Icelos rather than dodging braces for the impact as he gets ready to block the attack. Morpheus again disappears and a smile forms on Icelos' face before another Morpheus arrives right at the previous position, except for the kick lands at his head.

-Boom

Icelos gets hit hard before he falls off the stage and loses the round.

Morpheus then stands with a smile on his face as he looks at Phantasos, who has almost reached him. Phantasos hits Morpheus and then Morpheus' illusion once again disperses. Morpheus appears behind Phantasos and almost hits him before Phantasos throws out a powerful move that creates ripples all over the stage.

Morpheus smiles before taking out his dagger and cutting a part of the energy radiating out from Phantasos. The attacks eradicate most of the stage except where Morpehus is. Then Morpehus takes his knife in his hand and slashes himself in his wrist. Some slight fluctuations occur and then... Morpheus... radiates out energy... What???!!!!

My eyes are wide open as I realise what this means... the fact that Morpheus has a way to increase his Mana, even if it's temporarily. This... I wonder...whether it is really good news or bad news for Visca, but one thing is sure for now… the Gods...have a disaster coming their way...at an extremely fast pace.

Everyone stands up as they look at Morpheus with a shocked face. They too seem to realise what this pertains... many of them are stupefied... the others, mostly his party members, are smiling like crazy at his improvement.

"I give up!!!" Phantasos shouts with a horrified face as he takes his energy back and runs from the stage. Morpheus looks at his brother with a slightly stunned face before smiling and muttering,'but I was going to limit my mana to half of what you have.'

Then he looks at his party members and ponders something before speaking.

"Is there anyone here who wants to fight with me? Actually, you can all come together at me."

The others looks at him, stupefied, before standing up and moving out of the venue as fast as they can. Their sweat filled faces told their answers as they walked away from the place. Even the Alfheim Branches who were about to test their abilities hesitated after watching this and then moved out with others.

Morpheus looks at me with a pondering face.

"I should leave as well. I have to work...to do some stuff..King stuff, you know? So, haha... see you…" I speak as I vanish from there as fast as I can. After I reached back to my palace, I wiped my sweat that formed on my head.

"That was scary…" I couldn't help but mutter as I caught my breath.
