Science/Magic 41 The One Living In The Swamp 2

Yesterday's chapter...

...

"Such a powerful puppet…" The voice let out a sigh of admiration.

Regina furrowed her brows. She held her energy blade in her hand and looked in direction of the destroyed trees. Despite feeling a mana fluctuation, she could not find the enemy.

At the same time, Liu Ying and Bloed ready to face an enemy.

"Who are you!?" Bloed asked warily.

The voice chuckled. "Calm down, I'm not an enemy. I just was curious about the people that invaded my place."

"Your place?" Bloed was stunned. "The swamp?"

"Smart." The voice replied. "You are right, it's my place."

At that moment, the owner of the voice appeared.

A beautiful multicolored bird landed in a branch and looked at the group with a teasing look. He observed each the tree of them for a few seconds before putting on an amused expression.

"Such a weird combination… A puppet, a ma.n.a.less child, and the daughter of the former demon king. A very strange combination indeed."

Bloed and the others' expressions changed. They looked at the multicolored bird warily. It had seen through them after one look.

Especially Regina. She started to emit killing intent and prepare herself to attack.

The bird felt the killing intent and put on a serious expression. "DemiG.o.d? And a strong one. Such an interesting puppet. But, why are pretending to be human?"

"Who are you!?" Regina asked coldly. Energy weapons had started to take shape behind her, starting with sabers, swords, spears, and arrows.

A powerful pressure spread with her with the center. The pressure was different from the one caused by mana. It came from the psionic energy on her body and felt as countless needless p.r.i.c.kling one's skin.

"I told you, I don't want to fight." The bird watched Regina with interest. However, great amounts of mana had left its body.

It was obvious that it did not dare to underestimate Regina.

Bloed and Liu Ying were stunned. They watched the two powerful beings with awe and fear in their eyes.

Liu Ying, in particular, was astonished. She had suspected that Regina was very strong when she first met her, but after seeing her performance during combat, she thought that she was mistaken.

But looking at the powerful energy leaving her body now, she knew that Regina was truly powerful. Much more powerful than she expected.

"Master, stay behind me. This bird is dangerous." Regina warned

Bloed nodded. "Be careful, Regina."

Regina grunted in answer. A short sword appeared in each of her hands, and her body tensed up, ready for battle.

It seemed as though they could start to fight at any time.

"Master?" The bird tilted his head curiously and looked at Bloed. "You are her master, boy? Interesting… Tell me, boy, where did you get this puppet?"

Bloed face turned cold. "Regina is not a puppet!"

The bird chuckled. "You can't fool me, boy. Although she looks like a human on the outside, her heart is not human, her bones are not human, many of her organs are not human, and her soul is incomplete. She is a puppet, just like the two dogs behind you."

The bird then looked at Bloed with interest. "You are also a pretty weird child. A ma.n.a.less child, but you use a strange kind of energy. Moreover, your body is strange... And your eyes, such beautiful eyes. All those gadgets are pretty strange too… Mmm, if not that I can't felt the Blight in you, I would have killed you without hesitation." The bird said.

But it was a bad idea.

As soon as it mentioned the word 'killed', Regina moved.

In an instant, her body reappeared in front of the bird. The two energy swords on her hands shone brightly and cut towards the bird.

The bird reacted instantly. A mana barrier appeared and blocked the swords, but it was destroyed instantly by the energy swords.

However, the bird did not panic. It opened its beak and spat out a lightning bolt straight towards Regina's body.

Regina leaned aside and evaded the bolt. Her swords created afterimages in the air that engulfed the colorful bird.

But then, the bird opened his wings.

"Fury!"

With a bellow, hundreds of lightning bolts surged out of wings and rushed towards Regina.

Regina narrowed her eyes. An energy barrier formed around her, stopping all the attacks. At the same time, the energy weapons floating behind her were shot.

"Puppet, stop!" The bird cried while evading the attacks. "I don't want to fight!"

Regina ignored it. The bird had mentioned its intent to kill her master, and it was powerful enough that Regina did not dare to let it try.

Therefore, the only solution was to kill it.

To kill it and ensure her master safety.

"Are you crazy, puppet!?" The bird bellowed and unleashed multicolored lightning bolts that stopped the weapons. "Do you truly want to see a fight between demiG.o.ds!?"

Regina replied with a slash.

The bird scoffed and stopped its claws, but the powerful energy in her swords burned the bird's skin.

"Woman, if you don't stop, I'll get serious!" The bird bellowed furiously.

"Go on." Regina smiled coldly and held her shortswords in a backward grip while creating even more weapons behind here.

But Bloed spoke at that moment.

"Hold on, Regina. Let it speak."

Regina frowned and stared at the bird coldly. "Master, this bird is dangerous. It's better to kill it to avoid trouble."

The bird snorted coldly. "Such a warlike puppet. Do you think you can kill me? I have been a demiG.o.d longer than you have been alive!"

Bloed walked forward and held Regina's shoulder.

"Calm down."

"… I understand." Regina nodded and stood behind Bloed. However, she kept the shortswords ready.

The bird heaved a sigh of relief and flapped its wings. "Such a terrifying puppet. Young man, where did you get it?"

Bloed expression turned dark. "She is not a puppet. Her name is Regina, and she is my partner."

The bird fixed its eyes on Bloed and shrugged. "Very well, where did you get her? It's my first time seeing a puppet with intellect and soul, even if incomplete."

"I told you, Regina is not a puppet." Bloed's face was dark. "If you mention again the word puppet, I'll let Regina attack!"

Regina was his partner, and the fact that the bird treated her like an object displeased Bloed.

He could feel Regina's gaze fixed on his back. Yes, she was not a puppet, she was his one and only partner.

She was his family, his friend.
