Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill

“Chapter 157: The Other Beast”

Mike and I were waiting to make our move.

– Ready?

– Grr.

Fuji and Akane were both sleeping. Souji and Kihachirou should be watching me but Akane told them to take it easy and go rest.

It’s the perfect opportunity.

Our objective: Moonflower

I could’ve walked to the exit on my own but the floor is creaky enough that it could wake them up. Having Mike carry me is way safer.

Akane must be deep in slumber after giving her energy to the sword.

– Let’s go.

We followed the directions from last night and in no time we were at the back exit.

We waited at the door long enough for our eyes to get used to the dark.

I thought about using a torch, but a flickering moving flame in the middle of the night would be anything but secretive. Mike said she could still use the smell from last night’s trip as a guide.

– The sword that cuts magic… I have to see it with my own eyes.

A sword that fell from the sky. It can cut magic. It is invisible. It can also talk and has its own will.

Was it a meteorite, a rare ore, or a magical beast? Can it be processed? Can we communicate? Will I one day be able to create something similar?

While immersed in my thoughts, we reached the shrine.

– Looks like no one is following us. I’ll get off here.

The sword was in front of me. It wouldn’t take me long to analyze it, but we could get caught at any moment.

As soon as I took a step forward, Mike stepped in front of me with her fangs out and killing intent in every one of her hairs.

– GRRRR…

– What’s wrong!?

I looked at the top of the shrine, where a wolf was staring at us.

– How foolish to intrude without permission. An intriguing pair, too. A human and… A half?

– It can talk!?

Not only that… It looked just like the divine wolf that’s protecting me right now, but almost twice as big.
