Chapter 55 - A succinct introduction (1/2)
I looked at the rotating hexagonal prism in the blank room as I could feel my heart that wasn't physically in this s.p.a.ce start pounding. I heard the bland voice that called out the greeting in my head as I looked away from the smaller three rooms and replied, ”What, err, who are you and where am I?”
[I am...well, that is not consequential at the moment. You are in an isolated s.p.a.ce where we can converse for the next minute. There is still a matter you have to finish before we can start the next phase of plans]
I absorbed the words ringing out as I thought and asked, ”What matter do I have to take care of first?”
[The being plaguing the lands you call the United Federation. Its death would spell the dissolution of the enemy's plans, the regaining of control, and the beginning of our retaliation]
Enemies? Retaliation? My non existent heart was beating rapidly as I thought about all of this and asked one more thing before the scene in front of me disappeared. ”Why did you pull me into this s.p.a.ce?”
The voice was quiet for a second before the static reply came out, [Besides telling you of the next direction you need to hurry to, it is to prepare you for the addition to the system of power that will occur with the death of the last major beast. You hold the most essence currently, so you will be the most affected. The next point to keep in mind is that the real fight will not be fought here, do not become complacent because of the level of strength of your current enemies.]
The words rang out clearly, and I could even feel a semblance of emotion from the static tone near the end. I was about to speak once more but the scene began fading from my sight. The voice rang out for the last time
[Be sure to save the reckless child]

I opened my eyes once more, this time finding myself on the skies of the battlefield. The ground beneath me was still filled with thick smoke and burning rocks, with much of the beast horde decimated
I placed my hand on my chest to feel my actual body as I recalled the sensation of not having any limbs or body in the blank s.p.a.ce a moment ago. I had to wrap up and hurry to the United Federation to take down another one of these beasts, and after that...I should be able to get more answers
Retaliation...my blood felt like it was boiling as I thought of the possibility of getting back against the enemies that tormented us so much. To get there though, there was still another beast to take care of!
Before finis.h.i.+ng the battle and cleaning up the thousands of beasts that were now without a leader, I pulled out the skill book I placed in my ring and read the description
The skill was [Summon Virulent Abomination- A horrid monstrosity that only leaves destruction at its wake stands by your side]
The skill was one of the very few summon skills I had come across, and I was excited to see just what type of beast would come out of a rank S skill.
I looked to the thousands of panicking beasts below me as I watched the golden skill book become absorbed into my body and I casted [Summon Virulent Abomination] for the first time
A large malachite runic circle appeared and began expanding in the sky, releasing a flash of blinding green light as a terrible beast appeared.
It had a thick layer of visible muscles wrapping all over its large body. Dark green wings that looked similarly to a bat ruptured out of its back as pus leaked out.
It looked like a very muscly, fat, and bloated humanoid that was more than five meters large. It stood imposingly in the air, the large and grotesque wings keeping it afloat as it howled out
