Chapter 140 HOW IS THIS RATIONAL!!!
"This is impossible though."
| Anything is Possible |
"Like you giving me straightforward and descriptive answers?" At that last comment, the AN fell silent, making Aoni roll his eyes.
"So that's it, huh, just gonna run away?" But he wasn't about to back down, not this time, not when the entire script had been entirely rewritten.
Never in the history of Travelers has anyone been able to reconstruct a Barrier immediately after its collapse. And it wasn't because of lack of trying; no, there were plenty of Formations Masters, Artifact Craftsmen, and Mages who'd tried numerous times, but not once had someone been able to create an Indestructible Barrier that works in the same manner as the Newbie one.
But that was only part of the issues presented; for some reason, the natural laws or physics of Genovia wouldn't support a new barrier being brought up right after the collapse of one, newbie or not.
It was kind of weird, sure, but it was basically an accepted fact.
Yet sitting on his ass, staring at the slight shimmer in the air, Aoni denied what he was seeing to be real.@@@@
| If you weren't so weak, I wouldn't have to "Run" |
"Pf, fuck you, answer my damn question," his AN's taunt snapped him right out of his thoughts, causing him to spit air.
| Just Did |
"No, you didn...eh, I'm too weak?" smacking his lips and contemplating the last line of text on screen, Aoni rebutted with a hint of confusion and embarrassment in his tone.
SMACK SMACK
Smacking the Rampart for effect, Aoni did his best to work through things understandably for Glacia.
"We will be able to keep things out now, and we will have plenty of things to cook and harvest from now on."
'Brother...are you sure?' Nyria asked with a bit of fear showing in her eyes.
"Yeah, it's called an Adaptive Warding Formation, and while a lot of my questions about it are unanswered, the one thing I know for sure is nothing stronger than us can break it." Patting Nyria's head, Aoni thought back to the colossal figure he'd seen earlier; if the Barrier could stop that thing from coming over, it should easily be able to stop something significantly smaller like that weird furry insect behemoth.
"But just because stronger things can't get through, that doesn't mean the weaker ones can't. Everything we've killed today has had a grade of either 1-Star or 2-Star and since they seemed to make up a good majority of the enemies, we can assume it's gonna be pretty busy."
"Unfortunately, the Barrier won't stop them, as it registers us as being strong enough to handle them, no matter how many there are, but that's where the Wall comes in handy, so long as we keep it powered on, we have nothing to worry about.
Since he'd already tested the Rampart's Barrier and was aware that it was a one-way warding, where things could come out, but nothing could come in, Aoni knew that if push came to shove and he needed to force his way out, he could just stand atop the Wall and blast away with Ice Bullets.
"Growllll..." Before the Lad could finish up his explanation, a low growl came from around twenty feet away from the Wall, causing all three of them to lean forward and see what was causing it.
"Hm? Oh, it looks like we have company," Tilting his head to the side and looking down, he and his summons were surprised to find a single wolf standing at the base of the Wall, growling at them and deciding how best to attack.
"Gaooooooo~" jumping to her feet and shouting out an equally menacing sound as the wolf, Glacia was about to jump off and attack the bastard who was interrupting her snack time, but before she could, Aoni caught her by the scruff and held her back.
"Chilllll, chillll, conserve your strength; I got this guy, BANG," patting Glacia's head twice, Aoni quickly made a finger gun and shot an Ice Bullet directly through the head of the 1-Star SnowWolf, killing it instantly.
