Me and Guy were currently repairing holes in the world while Milim was patiently waiting… wait why was she being patient, "Milim, is there something you wanted?"
"What do you mean, I'm waiting for you to come back and make me something else!"
"Really, you got her hooked on your cooking." Guy sounded betrayed.
"You got a problem with that?"
"No it's just that… those dishes are meant for my tastebuds." Guy seethed inwardly.
I just sighed and turned to Milim, "Go home Milim, I'll meet you there later."
Milim seemed satisfied by my words. She can already tell if someone's lying so she didn't need to worry about the authenticity of my words, and just like that she flew away.
————————————————
It's been a month since that valuable bit of information was given to me about my strength, and I've been alternating been the City of dragons and El Dorado.
I had been waiting for the day of a certain someone to come to El Dorado, someone to come take Shizu away from the demon lord that is Leon. And now it seems that day has come.
I was currently on the balcony of Milims castle and sensing the fluctuations from El Dorado, " Well Hinata or Chloe. I want to see what the hero of time can do."
————————————————
Leon was currently kneeling on the ground, looking up indifferently to the masked hero who was currently standing before him. She had began motioning towards the little girl to take her away until…
Leon, the hero and even Shizu felt an immense spiritual pressure approaching at high speeds. The hero looked up and found meteorite descend at her location.
She jumped out of the way, the crash to the ground and the resulting shockwave turned the previous battlefield into a frozen tundra, from ground zero came a voice laced with satifaction, " Man, I love doing that."
" Who are you? Are you here to protect the demon lord?" The melodic yet stern voice of the hero pierced through he cacophony of crackling ice.
"Although I do consider him a valuable acquaintance and technically owe him, no. I'm neither here to help Leon nor interfere with your intentions regarding Shizue Izawa." My declaration made Leon let out a sigh of relief, "I am here to ask for a spar, again not trying to interfere just want a dual."
Hinata was confused, Shizu had never mentioned such a person, although she left quite early from her care so it made sense she wouldn't get a lot of information, "Ok then. I'll oblige." None the less, Hinata wasn't one to shy away.
I summoned a sword and charged at her, she made no effort to go on the offensive. She kept on blocking my attacks without trying, even with Unpredictability, I couldn't gain the advantage.
Hinata/Chronoa had their own problems too, She couldn't sense an ounce of strength from this man, something was blocking Usurper and something else was countering Mathematician as in he's moves remained unpredictable.
She could attempt Infinity prison but that would take time and frankly she didn't want to take the easy way out, this was meant to be a spar.
Although she noted down her disadvantages, that's really where it ends. She could easily put speed him with her manipulation over time aswell her digital nature. She overpowered the man and shoved down to the ground.
For a second, my body felt weightless and then I smashed to the ground, it seemed like time skipped for me between when she struck and when I landed. I immediately got up and jumped back, putting distance between us.
Hinata charged at me and attempted to use absolute severance. I held out my hand, and with nihility spewing from my hand, I caught the spatial severing sword with ease, our respective energy's clashing against each other, her severance dispersing the minus energy and my nihlity containing the spatial destruction.
The nihility wrapped around my sword and I thrust into her forcing a desperate use of as much skills to evade the attack. She successfully did so but at the cost of high energy expenditure.
'You seem to be holding back quite a bit now, Are you that overconfident?' my Telepathy entered her mind, causing her to flinch.
'I can say the same thing about you, although your suppression seems to be guided by immense fear. Fear of loss of control perhaps?' Leon was looking at us in confusion, our bodies were fighting completely on instinct.
Right now we were having a conversation in the mind, 'Huh, I won't deny that, does that bother you that I'm giving my all?'
'No, I understand. Why don't we keep on talking, you seem… interesting and your presence is soothing.' Hinata didn't mind my presence and wanted to ask more lingering questions, "Tell me, are you really here for me, Shizu or Leon? And are you really human?'
'Me, because I care about them and frankly you're not bad company. And I can assure you I am human.'
'Then… why do you protect them. Monsters and humans are natural born enemy's.'
'Because I choose too. Everything in life is a choice. You made the choice to stop pursuing the slime, did you not?'
'How did you! He shouldn't have been born yet!'
'He's not, I just know some fragments of the future.'
'Do you… believe in his vision… that humans and monsters can live in harmony.'
'That man is not only living proof that such a vision is possible. He is the key to it. As for me, well I'll gladly follow that dream.'
'Really? You don't seem like the follower type?'
'I said I would follow his dream, not him specifically.'
Suddenly an occurrence happened, the block that was preventing her appraisal lifted and she could not only see the densely packed energy but also the rising of an elemental, 'It seems that friend inside of you is quite interested in our conversation.'
'Huh. Orion, Nox?'
Noxes voice beamed in excitement, 'haha, this seems like so much fun, I wanna join in.'
Orion informed me of something exciting, ' Simon, Nox has made his decision.'
'Are you serious!'
'Yes, you have proven yourself. You've actually proven yourself quite a while ago but I felt it was too easy. I see now, your resolve to push forward, to protect thos around you, to never be pushed down, it's impressive. I believe now, you are truly ready.'
'Well then, I guess it's time to begin.'
Suddenly Hinata found an increasing energy rising from the depth of his soul. She couldn't make sense of the situation until their temporary telepathic link allowed her to hear the voice.
