105 The End of the Attack (1/2)
”Quick go to Universe Store! Ask Auto to sell it!” Master Rabbink shouted.
[#$%&!] Trevon cursed while using 'I Am A Customer' skill.
”Welcome to Universe Store!” Auto floated in Trevon's direction.
Trevon had never felt the seiyuu's voice as beautiful as today. He also saw the ball-shaped Auto more beautiful than Olivia or even his own grandmother, Issabella.
”Auto help me!” Trevon still felt burning pain on his face. His voice grew weaker.
”Yes. Auto can help Customer to purchase any products or sell any products on Customer's behalf.” Auto said in a calm and melodious but slow voice. The most modern bot in Trevon universe could speak like a human.
[Gah!] Trevon felt desperate. ”Help me sell this liquid on me!”
”Yes. Customer wanted to sell 'Unknown Liquid'. Please confirm!” Auto took her time to ask.
[GAH! No… Not with the procedure.] Trevon usually didn't nitpick Auto's question. He usually waited in the VIP room while the bot did the shopping for him. However, today he wanted the liquid to disappear as soon as possible.
”Yes. Yes. Really really yes.”
”Affirmative. Please mention how much that Customer wanted to sell! Costumer can mention up to milliliter.” Auto still spoke with a slow tempo that even senior citizen could listen.
”Grr… All. Please quickly!” Trevon wanted to cry. While the spiritual energy absorption was reduced in Universe Store, the pain was still there. He lost all his energy from the pain.
”Affirmative.” The bot floated above Trevon. It opened a blue light that covered Trevon. Trevon felt the liquid on his body started to float towards Auto. The pain and absorption were gradually felt lesser and lesser.
The bot continued to use blue light on Trevon's body. ”All items obtained. Customer could wait in the VIP room like usual.” Auto floated into the mall.
Trevon felt his skin somewhat dried, but it was a heavenly feeling. He took a mirror and looked at himself.
[GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!]
He saw a man who looked worse than a pig. All parts of his face were swollen.
”…” Trevon quickly used his spiritual energy to recover his injury.
”You can't do that here. Nothing you do here affect your real body.” Master Rabbink told Trevon.
[…] Trevon felt a bit angry with the Rabbink. That was dangerous. [Is everything fine now?] Trevon asked the Rabbink.
”Yes. Wait! Somebody strong is coming. Go back! Go back!” Master Rabbink hurriedly told Trevon.
Trevon quickly used 'I Am A Customer' skill again to return. The young master found his body was sleeping on the floor. His hand still covered his swollen face, scratching it from pain.
[This must be what happened after I was hit with the liquid. I should pretend to fake my death.] He had seen that it would take some time before a person turned into a fallen body in Downbridge family.
Trevon still opened his eyes and forced himself to prevent a blink. Using his body control, he stopped his breathing. The spiritual energy could help him temporarily. He acted like a man who died on terror. Nevertheless, he bent his knee as a preparation to jump back into the tower in the emergency. However, he canceled his idea to actually jump when he saw the new people.
He saw a big fat uncle came brought another Debt Collector. They jumped from one tower into another until they reached Trevon's location.
[That Debt Collector?] Trevon felt frustrated with the opponent. [Don't tell me I fight a gang! Isn't a young master who usually brings helpers?]
The two looked into Trevon's before they didn't care about the pig-faced dead human in their eyes.
”Retreat!” The Debt Collector carried by The Lone World Killer shouted. That was still the same fake voice that Trevon heard from every Debt Collector that he had met.
[They spoke the same voice.] Trevon thought. He still pretended as a dead body. The young master knew he couldn't avoid a Rank 3 warrior aura pressure.
”Brother! We almost destroyed the Ironlaw family.” The Debt Collector who splashed Trevon with liquid said.
”Do you disobey? The formation is broken. Do not worry! The Debt hasn't been collected. If we don't have to clear the fallen bodies from the city first, we would have enough time. Too bad… Uhuk…”
”Ah! You are injured. Let's go!” The Debt Collector who had fought with Trevon spoke some strange words and glowed with blue color.
”Flap… Flap… Flaps…”
[Gah! The crocodile isn't finished?] Trevon froze for real.
Both Debt Collectors quickly jumped into the flying Crocodile. Nevertheless, its flying was no longer smooth. Some parts of its wings were destroyed by Trevon.
Lone World Killer also jumped into the big crocodile and escaped together with the Debt Collectors.
”I have managed to kill a McArthur today. Our attack on the tournament would be glorious. Heoheoheo.” The Debt Collector who had fought Trevon proudly reported to his brother.
”Yes. That would be our final attack.” The other Debt Collector answered.
They still spoke but Trevon could no longer hear their words.
Trevon played dead for another five minutes. After he didn't hear any noise, he slowly pushed himself closer and closer toward the door. He pushed himself like a caterpillar until it was about three meters from the tower, then he suddenly rolled and ran using his fastest speed.
Trevon didn't care about anything and ran toward any door and hallway he could see. He slammed one door into another, one hallway into another.
”Gwahahaha! No need to panic. They are gone.” Master Rabbink laughed seeing Trevon escaped faster than a mouse.
Trevon stopped his run. ”GAAAAAAAAH!!! You… You… You…, Rabbink! So your plan is to make me become the bait? Do you want me to die?” He pointed his index finger to the Rabbink.
The young master almost died because of the mysterious liquid. He continued to rain the curses on the Rabbink.
”Hey! This Rabbink only helped you. I calculated it would work, and it worked. Gwahahaha. What a smart Rabbink, I am.” Master Rabbink felt proud of its super accurate calculation.
”You! Remember, you have a clause not to put me in a danger intentionally!”
”This is not intentional. Any reward had its risk. No pain, no gain. This Rabbink helped you to get a treasure, you have the option to not do it. Besides, when against a weak child of God, your young master aura will work wonder. The young master always wins the first match. Gwahahaha.” The Rabbink intentionally didn't talk about the revenge from a child of God. That would be ugly.
[I want the full plan next time.] Trevon managed to breathe a few times. He could feel some adrenaline was still on his blood vessel making his heart beat faster.
”Fine. You only need to ask me for the full plan next time. Gwahahaha. No need to be angry. It is better to go back to your family. I think the Debt Collectors have removed the fallen bodies in this castle.”
[Removed?] Trevon realized something. The Debt Collector in Downbridge family made the fallen bodies disappeared.
”Yes. It is not worth for them to maintain the weaker fallen bodies. They had taken the Rank 3 fallen bodies and left this castle.”
[Maintain?]
”Yes. Their fallen body needed some maintenances if you wanted to keep them. If not, after some time, the fallen body would disappear automatically. Their invincibility comes at a cost.”
[Like the Crocodile?]
”Yes. There are two factors. That crocodile is maintained and also the Debt Collector used an undiluted liquid. This is why you could only get this thicker liquid from that Debt Collector.”
”Brak…” Trevon suddenly felt a weakness in his legs. [Ah? Does something wrong with me?]
”No. It is just the adrenaline effect had started to disappear. I will tell you more about the liquid later. You should drink some potions to recover your spiritual energy. Even when it was only a short time, the liquid had absorbed some of your energy.”
”Ah, Fine.” Trevon took a vial from his storage rings. He had many varieties of potions, talismans, and pills on it.
Trevon drank a physical recovery potion. It tasted like strawberry juice with a bit electric buzz sparked on his mouth.
[This is strange.] The young master thought. He started to feel his body cells absorbed the potion. Trevon felt his cells were regenerated while at the same time some energy flow in his meridian.
Trevon continued to drink another. He looked for a hidden location and went into a meditation to recover his spiritual energy.
It took him fifteen minutes for him to recover. He went out from his hiding place.
[…] Trevon looked around. The palace hall where he ran into had several old furniture and paintings decorated the inner structure. Trevon remembered each hall in the castle had different paintings. The room was a spring season painting.
He found a broken mirror before he remembered something. [GAAAAAh!!]
[Why don't you remind me, Rabbink?] Trevon saw his pig-like face again. [What if a lady saw me like this?]
”That is only external appearance. What important is the fluffiness!” Master Rabbink said.
The young master quickly rotated his spiritual energy to make his face back to normal. It consumed some of his spiritual energy. Making him meditated for another five minutes to recover again.
He walked to another room. [Where is the stair?]
Trevon didn't know the map of the castle. It was unlike a pagoda. Ironlaw tower was like a maze for him. He tried to compare the room with his memory.
[Nope. I have never been in this room.] Trevon used the painting to recognize a room. The room had a painting of a night sky.
”Hey! What are you doing?” The Rabbink asked.
[I don't know where I am.] Trevon felt helpless. During the chase, he was following the smell and didn't care about the route. Right now, the room didn't have any special smell, it was only a common old room smell added with the smell of debris.
Trevon knew he couldn't use the portal. While the portal would allow him to move into his family pavilion, he wouldn't be able to explain how he suddenly disappeared from the castle.
Trevon tried his best to find a staircase down. He believed as long as he arrived at the first floor, he would meet someone.
”…” The Rabbink was speechless. ”Just went outside and scream! Your family can find you that way.”
[I have also thought of that, but I have some prestige to hold, Rabbink. Imagine if everyone knows that I lost in the castle! Tomorrow, Lost Boy Trevon will become my new nickname.]
”Then just try your luck inside the castle. I won't help you with the way out.”
[Who needs your help?!]
Trevon followed by Master Rabbink walked around the castle.
”This is it… Nope.”
