Chapter 103 - Abusing Plot Armor (1/2)

The black lightning hit a nearby tree and in a matter of seconds, the entire tree vanished. Aiden and Artemis's expression darkened when they saw the raw power of the uncontrolled lightning.

They wouldn't vanish like the tree however it would deal some serious damage.

'But he is dead.' Aiden thought as he looked at the summoner's dead body hanging from the vines.

< He transferred a small amount of consciousness inside that hawk and the longer that hawk stays in that state, the more berserk it would go. But one thing is guaranteed. It would not die until both you and Artemis die. >

'So that means that it would keep suffering till then.' The black-haired boy looked at the hawk's pained expression.

The beast would keep suffering until either Aiden and Artemis died or something else happened.

'Sera, tell me how I can upgrade the system?' He asked while dodging the lightning being thrown by the hawk.

He launched his shadow spikes towards the hawk but the lightning burned them all. The black lightning has encased the entire hawk that its cries of pain had stopped.

Yet its entire body was burning in pain and agony.

< I thought that if Infini uses her god powers to upgrade the system, maybe we could ask someone else to do the same. >

'Any by someone else, you mean Hestia or the Shadow god? >

< Anyone of them who you want to choose. >

'Hestia, are you listening to this?'

[ I am, kiddo, but there is nothing that I can do. Most of the godly powers are gone. Ask that shadow god about this. ]

'You heard her Sera.'

< Don't die while I do that. >

'I have enough plot armor to prevent me from dying.' He replied with a smile and deflected some lightning using Lightbringer.

Using the sword, the black-haired boy deflected the lightning towards the hawk and saw it clash. Artemis shot an arrow at the exact spot as the two different lightnings vanished. The arrow moved towards the arrow but another blast of lightning moved out from the hawk's body.

[ You know, many things could go horribly wrong here and yet you still want me to take Infini's place. You have guts Aiden, I will give you that. ] The shadow god's voice echoed inside Aiden's mind as he grinned.

'Will you take the risk though?' He asked back and heard the god chuckle.

[ Not like I have anything better to do with my life so why not? ] The god replied as a system screen appeared in front of Aiden.

[ Upgrade system? ]

'Yes.'

[ System upgrade under process. ]

[ A god's power is required. ]

[ Powers found. ]

[ Upgrade under process ]

[ … ]

[ System has now been upgraded. ]

[ The companion feature has been added. ]

'What did I say about plot armor?' The black-haired boy asked Sera with a smile as he went ahead and used inspection on the hawk.

[ Black Thunder Hawk
