"I see you spend a lot to just entrap me," I laughed, while moving my eyes around, "do you think this is enough to stop me?"
"Let's see if you can have such a smile on your face when I'll crush your arrogance."
"Oh, such a fiery lady! Just my type," I laughed, "I love those arrogant ladies. Do you know that I got a curse? Perhaps if we dated, you'll get cursed and be gone from my sight forever."
"You are trash! And you are just nothing but a mere fly that I'll crash! Attack! Whoever brings me his head will sleep in my tent tonight!"
"Tent? Come on girl, why isn't it a suite or a fancy villa?" I kept laughing. But unlike my words, the entire world around me started to move, all heading towards me at the same time.
And as they moved, I also started to act.
I raised my staff high in the air, and without any doubt or delay, I activated the bookmark I kept saving all this time.
"Hahahaha! What an idiot! Do you think you can run away…"
Just before this b*tch would say whatever she wanted, I jumped!
I wasn't going to a continent out from here, but went directly towards the furthest point opposite to my current place.
That was the plan from the beginning. If the artefact that b*tch had got such a limited distance as a weakness, then with my jump right now I managed to evade the area of coverage of that sealing artefact.
That was why I kept pushing into one single direction for all this time despite knowing that I'd end up getting caught! I didn't care about escaping by this way in the first place, I just wanted to lure the owner of that artefact away from the places I saved before in my staff.
Doing this made me easily select the right place to jump at. And without even waiting for any response from the swarms of enemies that I appeared in the middle of, I opened my second Earth portal.
Wait there, b*tch, I was going to get my ride and come to ride you with it!
My only regret was that I missed seeing the look on her face. And I was sure it was priceless!
"Phew! My girl… My precious girl… You are finally back! Hahahaha!" like a father who missed his daughter, I ran towards my chariot and even gave it a kiss. My chariot was back, at last!
It consumed all of the energy I left in the bones, and now it looked bright new. Not only that, it also looked a bit bigger, as if it got a new level or something.
I flew over and landed on its deck. Feeling it under my feet again made me feel more powerful. At last I got my legs back!
"Hmm… You indeed got stronger," I opened and checked the content of the chariot. As I thought, it got lots of upgrades and advancement, including not only size or speed, but also defence and offence.
The furnace of my chariot, the heart that started with me placing energy inside to work, grew before to be harnessing energy from the world powerplant. But now, it has grown to be able to produce energy on its own!
That wasn't just like before, not like when I got blessed. The chariot wasn't going to just form its own energy from the world around during battles, but it'd be able to absorb energy all the time.
And on top of that, it'd be able to condense this energy in times of peace and low expenditure, accumulating some sort of red gems, in the size of my fingernails, spreading all over its hulk, just like how it looked right now.
That was why it looked a bit different, thanks to all these tiny red gems scattered all over it. The chariot didn't just take time to repair itself, but also absorbed and stored energy from the world here.
And next to this, there was a new weapon on board, a cannon! My chariot finally got a giant ship cannon on its deck!
When I looked closer, I noticed why the chariot got bigger. It got a new level added, where this big cannon expanded under the deck. Now my chariot has four levels, not just three.
Without the need for me to go there and inspect the new level personally, I knew that it needed warriors and workers to make this cannon operate and such.
"I hope it's not that complicated down below," I took out my bulltors and shield bearers, the earliest batch of warriors I ever accepted. And even after all this, they were mostly still alive! What a journey for them this was!
"Go down there and see if you can handle the cannon," I knew I could control the firing of the cannon, but these folks had to help me with arming up the cannons before launching it.
As for the missiles used to launch this cannon, they came from the chariot itself. The energy it harnessed was partially turned to form missiles and explosives, to be used as ammunition for the cannon.
"I believe the new shield is able to sustain anything, even my explosive bone fire," I muttered when I read through the section regarding the newly developed and highly advanced shield.
It wasn't just a normal shield, one that'd form a bubble around me in a limited area. This time, it could grow and shrink in size according to my will, without losing any much of its defensive prowess.
At the same time, it wouldn't consume anything at all. This was what made my new chariot a deadly weapon. It didn't need any single energy stone or material from me to work.
Its speed got accelerated, and its offensive abilities got enhanced. All this came on the cost of harnessing energy in torrents from the world around.
