Chapter 540 Cyber Beast Part 1
The next morning Blake, Bret, and his men once more began their journey to the capital city with Princess Danaphine and her knights. "Blake, doesn't this seem like one of those isekai books? Like this whole place is so much different from the rest of the world, so it's almost like we have gone to a whole new world."
"Bret, you do realize you can fly and use magic, right? You do realize you have long been isekai'd. You have a fucking elf as your main wife and a fox girl!" Blake wondered if Bret thought before he spoke sometimes.
Bret glared at Blake and punched his shoulder. "It's the romance of it all! Why do you need to ruin my fun!?"
"Because the road is long, and I am bored!" Blake replied honestly, causing Princess Danaphine, who was listening to the two to chuckle at their antics.
"You two seem very close." Princess Danaphine said with a smile.
"We have known each other for quite a few years now. You can say we hit it off on our first meeting." Blake replied. "Bret here is like family. You can say he is my brother even though we do not share blood ties. He is someone I could die for."
"Fuck! Making me shiver. Why are you being all sappy all of a sudden? This is not like you at all!" Bret shivered and put on a disgusted face until pain took over after being kicked by Blake.
"Haha! You two are indeed close. You remind me of my sister and I when we were younger." Princess Danaphine sighed as she looked up at the clear blue sky. "Although that is now in the past."
"Siblings getting along is a natural course of things. Falling outs also happen. Loved ones lost due to war or something else. It is all things that one needs to watch out for." Blake replied as he suddenly paused his steps. "We got incoming. It's big."
"What!?" Princess Danaphine cried out and yelled out to her own men. Everyone got into formation while Blake and his group jumped into the air to get a bird's eye view.
"Princess Danaphine, to your right! A large monster is charging this way. It is even crushing the trees. Have your men protect you. My people will try to take it out. Although we might accidentally take out some of the forest in the process." Blake wanted to test his strength against these unknown beasts born from technology. He did not know how much strength he would need to use to take them out.
"It's fine. All battles against the beasts are normally huge." Princess Danaphine gave the go ahead and Blake and his people shot forward.
"Bret, you take your men and split them into two groups to flank this thing. We will start with low tier magic like fireballs and work our way up to see how much strength we need to use to kill one of these." Blake gave out his orders. He wanted to minimize damage as much as possible.
"Roger!" Bret quickly gave out his own orders and split his men up. He went left while the other group went to the right. Blake was to draw its attention, so he flew straight at it.
"This thing is actually quite cool!" It was like a huge gorilla, except it had what looked like cybernetic limbs with metal plating. If he did not know it was a living being, he would think this was some kind of robot made to look like a gorilla. "Although you look cool, I still need you as a test subject, so take this!"
Blake began tossing fireballs at it smashing them into the huge cyber beast. It roared in pain and put up its arms to block the attacks showing that it had some form of intelligence. Bret and the others also began their assault. This was making the cyber beast begin to back away.
Watching from below, Princess Danaphine and her men were stunned at how Blake was just shooting fire out of what seemed nowhere. "Princess, can you figure out what they are using that is able to drive back even a Metalo?"
The man who asked was the same one who had glared at Blake before, but now he was stunned at Blake's power. Princess Danaphine, though felt something was off. It seemed Blake's attacks were slowly getting stronger and stronger while the fiery balls he was throwing were getting smaller and smaller and changing color as well. "No…. But I think he is only testing how much strength he needs to kill it. Look at how his balls of fire are now blue in color so are his men. The metal on the Metalo is starting to turn red, and the fire is also strange because it is not going out. It even seems to be spreading. Just what are these people?"
"I have never seen anything like it. Is that still even considered a flame?" The man asked. He was very confused as to what he was looking at.
"I would think so. We stopped using fire for many things when we began using the power the cyber seeds were producing to do things such as heat our homes and cook. But I do believe blue fire was used in the past for superheating things." Princess Danaphine was thinking about the history lessons she was forced to take as a princess to learn about her kingdom's past and the technology they once used. While the knowledge of the past was limited, it was still written in books.
"Hmmm… We normally grow metal as we need, right? If I recall, during the great war, they used a method called welding to fuse metal parts together, correct?" The man asked. He was quite happy to speak about a common subject with the princess of the kingdom. It made him feel special. Something he could brag about. He was happy he studied while in the academy.
