"What the hell happened here..?" Versys mutters, brandishing his sword as we begin to hear heavy footsteps dashing towards us at an astonishing speed.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The sound of the footsteps begin to get louder and faster.

When I say loud, it's no child's play..

I also noticed that all the walls surrounding the small habitat are already breaking down.

Suddenly, my eyes catch a glimpse of two men running in our direction.

"RUN AWAY! NOW, FOOLS!!" The two men yell at us as their bodies zoom past us in a flash.

*THUMP* *THUMP*

My heart begins to race faster with each second that passes as the footsteps begin to get louder.

However, I can see Versys standing with his eyes closed, and his sword tightly clutched in his hand, clearly unperturbed by the quaking steps.

At this point, I decide not to put my faith in Versys and instead make a run for it the moment things get messy.

I'm not being lazy or cowardly, I'm just being careful. Run to fight another day, are the words of a true warrior.

Suddenly, a huge shadow begins to tower over us.

Raising my head, I instantly recognize the beast that is causing all this ruckus.

Fuck... Furry Titan!

I was able to identify this beast the moment I saw it, since I was formerly a nerd and book maniac.

Furry Titans are lazy beasts that are always in hibernation. However, some greedy low-level adventurers tend to hunt them for their beast core. Thus, causing the Titan to go berserk if they are unable to kill it in time.

The Titan in front of me right now is no different. It stands at about 30 meters tall, packed with four massive arms and large torsos that makes its body ratio balanced. Its head is much smaller than the rest of its body, but it has been rumored to be very strong and adamant.

*GROWL!!!!!!!!!*

The Titan bellowed at us, but Versys was clearly unfazed by its powerful roar.

"Vincent, take cover!" Versys mutters in a low yet thunderous voice, clearly angry at the Titan for some unknown reason.

"Die! You puny piece of shit!" Versys curses and takes a weird stance.

Suddenly, something begins to happen to Versys which also catches the attention of the Titan, making it dash toward him.

The long sword in Versys's hands begins to glow hot red, even the beast gears on his body begins to glow red, and web cracks begin to appear on the floor.

It also seems like some sort of energy is running through Versys, as all his muscles begin to bulge.

*BOOM*

A sound explodes as Versys leaps upward like a shooting star..

If it wasn't for my Incubus eyes, I wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of it.

Leaping into the sky, towering a few meters above the Titan. Versys now looks like a God of some sort as all his body is now blood-red including his sword.

*WHOOSH* *CHA-CHING!*

A sound explodes as Versys swings his sword downwards, at a speed that even the Furry Titan couldn't register.

*SLASH* *THUD* *THUD*

The sky is now dyed blood-red, as it rhymes with the color of Versys, while the Titan has a look of horror on its face as its body is cleanly, evenly split into two..

*BAM* *BAM*

The two halves of the Titans fall flat to the ground, with reddish-black blood spurting out like fountains.

Following suit, Versys also lands on the ground while the red glow on his body begins to diminish.

*YAY!!!!!!!!*

The inhabitants of the habitats begin to cheer and come out of hiding the moment they saw that the Titan had been killed.

Contrary to their expectations, Versys glares at them with a murderous glint in his eyes.

"Back away-now! You hypocrites!!" Versys roars, causing the women to pee in their pants and the men to tremble in their position.

"We'll leave right away, Savior, we just want to show our gratitude. However, we dare not disobey your words." The old man who seemed to be the leader of the group says with a bow and hastily leaves with his people, so as not to get on the bad side of someone who single-handedly killed a king ranked beast with a single slash.

Meanwhile, I'm still standing in place, staring at Versys in awe since I have never seen him in full action.

Just how strong is he..? Besides, he didn't use a single magic, only his beast items, does that mean he can't use magic...b-but how does he perform some of those magic at times? It doesn't make sense..

Suddenly, Versys begins to walk toward me, sheathing his sword in his scabbard after harvesting the core of the Titan.historical

"Vincent, now that the carriage is destroyed, we will need to teleport home. But that will cost us a lot of resources that are supposed to be used at a critical time. However I guess madame won't mind, right?" Versys says, waving his hand and bringing out a white chalk, an old scroll, and a vial containing a red potion.

"Versys, are you a mage-swordsman?" I ask.

"No," Versys replies promptly.

"But how can you activate the space ring if you can't harness MANA? To top it off, I have also seen you use magic at times." I tell him with confusion etched on my face.

Versys pauses what he was doing and looks at me like he's reluctant to talk.

"I have always been a failure before I met your father and madame, who took me in and treated me like her brother, they also made me understand that being unable to use magic doesn't mean the end of the world. Those magic you saw me perform are only performed thanks to an artifact that your father gave me before he died." Versys says, and shows me a small purple crystal that is tied to his neck like a necklace.

"I'm telling you this because you are his son. You can see that this crystal is high-level. Whilst crystal stones contain MANA they cannot be used directly, or else, one will have MANA poisoning and die instantly. The crystal has to be purified by a high-ranked mage and inscribed with some runes. This artifact was given to me by your father, and I'm grateful to him. I have made an oath to him to protect you even at the cost of my life. There are still many things you need to know, but now is not the time. Just make your mother happy at all costs, and take responsibility for her."

Versys tells me with a straight face while he continues to draw some runes on the floor with the hydra chalk in his hand.

W-What does Versys mean about taking responsibility for my mother and always making her happy...? t-that sounds weird.

Shaking my head, I remove all the perverted thoughts and focus on what Versys is currently doing right now.

Versys is currently drawing what is displayed on the scroll in his hands, and the drawings seem to be complete.

Storing away the scroll, Versys opens the vial and begins to pour the red content on the drawings.

Instantly, the drawings begin to glow, and a red line is seen linking all the runes together.

"Vincent, stand in the middle of the runes, we will be teleported home. I had to use formation magic because using my artifact to teleport the both of us would be too expensive. Nonetheless, using the blood of a red dragon is also costly." Versys says as he grabs my hands when all the red markings have been connected.

Instantly, with a sharp, red, blinding light, we were teleported away from Deact Vale.
