War Destiny Of Future - 168 Chapter 160

“Precautions?” Sky asked, a bit confused.

“This is for reducing the effects of brainwash.” said Ben.

“You bring all these herbs all the time?” Chris asked, rather amused.

Ben nodded while showing the neatly arranged herbs in his working bag.

“Seriously, you act more and more like your father.” said Chris, a bit teasing.

“I take that as a compliment.” said Ben with a sharp leer.

Meanwhile, Central City.

Maria is strolling on the street with Suzaku, in their hands are some shopping bags, Maria seems to be in a good mood. He dragged Suzaku to a roadside vendor that sell some really cute hair accessories.

“Hey, Suzaku! Have a look at this leaf shape hairpin, do you think it would look nice on me?” Maria asked.

“Mmm! And this ruffle hairband.” said Suzaku.

The two of them are happily choosing the hair accessories for each other, Maria had totally put his ‘dilemma’ during the morning to aside.

Suddenly he heard some unusual sounds from the direction to the secret base. He stared at that direction for a few seconds.

“What’s wrong, My Lord?” Suzaku asked.

“There are some invaders in our secret base, let’s head back!” said Maria, a bit alerted.

*Maria has a super-sensitive hearing.

——————————————————————————————–

Secret base, Jason who heard the commotions had get out from the basement. In the lounge, Ai, Yuki and Pinky are fighting against some meats lumps that start turning into humanoid form. However he noticed something unusual, the girls only give those creatures some blunt hit instead of attack that will be able to break apart, but then he soon found out about the reason as Pinky smashed one of them into pulp, the broken piece of the meat lumps will regenerate on its own and multiplying as it’s broken apart. And those meat lumps seem to have some sort of contagious characteristic, the object it touches will slowly turn into some sort of deformed meat lumps as well. No one knows what will happen if those lumps get direct contact with living creatures.

Jason created a wind barrier around himself and the girls, temporarily pushing the meat lumps creatures away from them.

“Mr. Jason, what are those things?” Yuki asked as she temporarily retracts her battle form.

“I don’t know, but from what I see, it’s probably generated from that Teddy gnome in the lab, the self-regeneration and multiplication abilities of those creatures are most likely the ‘brilliant works’ of that magic worm I mentioned earlier.” said Jason.

“What should we do to get rid of this thing? As whenever we break any of its body parts, it will regenerate and multiply on its own.” said Yuki.

“I see… But how should we do it, with such a huge number of them?” Yuki asked.

“Probably some accurate blunt hit or electric-based magic attack, but I believe none of us having electric-based magic, so it will be hard.” said Jason.

“Uhm… Mr Jason, do you think those creatures have nerves?” Ai asked, out of the blues.

“I believe they have.” said Jason, and Ai nodded.

“But why are you asking? Hold on, what are you trying to do? It could be quite dangerous for your own body.” said Jason after realizing what Ai is trying to do.

Ai ignored Jason’s warnings, she folded her palms together and closed her eyes as the meat lumps successfully squeezed through Jason’s wind barrier. Ai focused the magic around her and concentrating her mind, a magic circle appeared around her, caused slight changes in the atmosphere.

“Nerve control.” said Ai

Within three seconds, the movements of every single meat lump creature slowed down and eventually stopped completely.

“Ah, Ai-chan successfully stopped them.” said Yuki.

“But Miss Ai, you can’t hold it for too long, this kind of magic is contagious for the user unless the user has an enormous amount of magic to against it.” said Jason, a bit worried.

“But Mr. Jason, do you have any better idea to hold down these things?” Ai asked and Jason ‘get pierced’ right on the point.

“Ah… Indeed I don’t.” said Jason.

“I had thought about that. If I use this nerve control on them long enough, it will eventually cause them to lose their nerves permanently thus immobilize them.” said so, Ai continues to hold onto her nerve control magic despite the warnings from Jason.

After a few minutes, Ai’s body starts to show signs of fatigue as the side effects of that magic. Tiny drops of sweat can be seen on her forehead, and her breath getting a bit heavier as she is enduring the discomfort caused by the nerve control magic.

“Ai-chan, are you alright? Don’t force yourself too much, we can think of another way to stop these creatures.” said Yuki, really worried about Ai as she noticed her discomfort.

“It’s okay, I just need a few more minutes.” said Ai, with a slightly fading voice.

However, Both Yuki and Jason know that she is on her limit, as some of the meat lumps are starting to regain control and moving again.

Suddenly, an electric flow spreads through the secret base and electrocuted all of the meat lumps, then they start to burn on its own and eventually turn into char.

“Are everyone alright?” said Maria who come back just in time. Ai released her magic as soon as Maria eliminated those meat lumps, as she was relieved from that heavy responsibility, she fainted.

Sky: “Ah… Haha. Yes, as Chris said.”

Chris: “But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : “By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it’s cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing.”
