Vol.1 Ch.15 Mana Exhaustion

The warp only lasted for a second, unlike the first time when it felt like forever when being summoned to Tertius. And as soon as Ryan came out of the warp he felt the familiar dizziness. He took a deep breath as he felt sweat dripping down his forehead.

"I feel like I've been hit by a truck," Ryan said with a groan.

"Me too," Hiro agreed as he coughed up blood.

"What happened? Where are we?" Ryan asked.

"I used my teleport magic that the Goddess gave me," Hiro said with a weak smile. "But I don't know where we are."

"You had teleportation magic? Why in the hell didn't you use... it earlier... Hiro?" Ryan said with a confused look when he noticed Hiro looking extremely ill.

He looked at Ryan with a sad smile as he collapsed to the ground like a marionette string getting cut.

"HIRO!?" Ryan screamed as he reached out to Hiro and grabbed him before he could hit the ground.

"Looks like it's time for me to go back to Japan, *Cough*," Hiro said in a low voice as his eyes, skin, and hair turned pure white in a matter of seconds.

"NO! You're just fucking with me! Like you always do! Right!?" Ryan yells as he tries desperately to keep Hiro's body warm and was desperately trying to figure out what was happening to his body.

"I'm.... sorry... about... Ah!... I'm so, c-cold... I'm..... so....." Hiro stopped breathing and his face was already becoming deathly pale.

"HIRO!? DON'T YOU FUCKING DO THIS TO ME!!!" Ryan screams as he lays a shivering Hiro down to the ground and hugs the side of Hiro's head to Ryan's chest as tears start rolling down his cheeks.

"No! It's alright, Hiro!! Y-You'll be fine! I-I'll find a way to save you! J-Just rest... Okay? Just-" Ryan tries to comfort Hiro as best as he can while feeling the warmth leave Hiro as he turned stone-cold.

"..."

"Wipe that smile off your face. You did that to Hiro, didn't you?" Ryan said as he glared at her.

"I did nothing of the sort." She says as she tuts. "He might have survived if he was capable of absorbing that Basilisk's mana. But he was just another summoned failure."

"That's bullshit!" Ryan yelled in anger. "You're a failure! You summoned us! And for what!? Just to die!?"

"Don't get ahead of yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"We're still going to need you," Nils said in a calm voice.

"What? If you needed us, then why did put us in this situation!? Screw that! Why did you choose us out of everyone on my planet?" Ryan demanded as he glared at her.

"Well, after everything you've gone through. You've earned the right to know, but I'll bring my sister into our conversation now that her chosen one has perished. You'll be her replacement." Nils said.

"Huh?" Just as Ryan was going to ask her what she was talking about the red orb, which used to be Hiro's necklace, glowed brighter as it came to life and flew towards Ryan's orb and merged into it making the orb slightly bigger.

This happened so fast that Ryan couldn't react and if he could see his orb now it looked like a yin-yang with red and gold instead of black and white.

"What did you do!?" Ryan panicked.

"Giving me a chance to introduce myself." All of a sudden another shadowy figure materializes out of nowhere. She looked almost identical to Nils except for her being red and had shorter hair.

Ryan gulped hard knowing he had to deal with another goddess.

"I'm The Goddess of Time and Space, Nebulus." Said the red goddess with a smile.
