"GRARGH!"
An Ungraded Wolf lunged at Xavier from the bushes.
"Haley, now!"
The mont he said that, the dagger flew towards the wolf.
BOOM!
PUCHI!!
THUD!
It pierced right through its forehead, and the wolf’s body fell lifelessly to the ground with a thud.
"Phew~ That was nerve-racking."
"But damn, Haley, you are truly amazing. Ending the beast’s life in just one move," Xavier praised Haley.
[Thank you for the complints, Master Xavier,] Haley replied.
Rustle Rustle
"...!" Xavier’s eyes widened, his brows raised.
’It seems that there are more hidden in the distant foliage. They are probably coming here because of the commotion I caused. Haah... just what type of shit have I gotten myself into?’
"Haley, it seems we’ve got more folks to deal with."
[Master Xavier, I have an idea, but I’m going to need your help,] Haley replied.
"Really? What do I need to do?" Xavier asked, feeling hopeful.
[I need you to turn on the smartwatch.]
"Huh? Um... okay."
Xavier was a bit confused as to how turning on the smartwatch could help, but he did it anyway. The most important thing right now was survival rather than asking unimportant questions.
"Okay, it’s on. Now what do I have to do?"
[I need you to connect to it.]
"How do I do that?"
[It is just like connecting Bluetooth.]
"Oh, I get it. Like this?"
[Good. Now, do you see an application with the na ’1N53CT’?]
"Huh? Um... yes, I see it."
’What a weird na.’
[I need you to click on that.]
"Alright."
’Hm? What is this?’
Once the app opened, strange things appeared on the screen — more specifically, an image of a bug that resembled a bee, along with information on how to use it.
"Um... what do I need to do now?"
[Leave the rest to ,] Haley said.
"...?"Xavier’s brows raised as he saw the app operate on its own.
’Is Haley the one doing this?’
’Hmm?’
Xavier looked at the screen closely and saw the word ON appear.
’On? What is turned on? I sure am not. Am I?’ Xavier glanced down at his crotch.
While Xavier was acting like an idiot, sothing else was happening.
CLINK
A small tal object was ejected from the dagger. Surprisingly, the tallic object was floating—no, flying. The object resembled the bee that was displayed on the smartwatch.
"Huh? The hell... Am I seeing things right?" Xavier finally looked up and saw the fake chanical bee. Instead of wasting ti trying to figure it out himself, he decided to ask Haley about it.
"Hey Haley, what is that?"
[It is an Inflibug, Master Xavier,] Haley responded.
"Inflibug? What is that?"
[I’d love to answer you. However, we have a bigger problem on our hands now.]
"Oh right! Those monsters! They should be coming over here as we speak. Should I just hide?"
[Master Xavier, trust . Not a single scratch will be inflicted on you by these insignificant dogs.]
"Well... if you say so," Xavier nodded.
’That’s right. I have got this overpowered dagger with . What am I so afraid of?’
In the next mont, the Inflibug soared into the skies and moved forward.
[Master Xavier, turn on the holographic screen mode of the watch.]
"Got it." Xavier did as told, and the mont he did, a green light erged from the watch, forming a rectangular screen the size of a tablet. It displayed a bird’s eye view of the forest.
Xavier imdiately figured it out.
"Is this... from that Inflibug’s point of view?"
[That is correct.]
’Holy...!’
[Look at the screen, Master Xavier.]
"Hmm? Wait...! Isn’t that—" Xavier could see over a dozen Ungraded Monsters making their way toward him. The monsters were the sa type of wolves that had attacked him earlier.
’It seems the entire pack is heading toward . They must have been alerted by the sounds those two made when I killed them.’
’So of these guys look bigger than those two. Does that an they’re stronger? No, I shouldn’t panic. Haley said to trust her.’
’That must an she has a plan... right?’
[Master Xavier, are you aware of what the runes in the dagger do?]
"Huh? Um... no?"
"No way... Are you planning to...?"
[That is correct. We are going to use the power of the dagger’s runes on them.]
Gulp
’I finally get to witness what it does.’
[However, I need your permission to proceed.]
"P-proceed!"
’Screw those dogs! I badly wanna know what this does!’ Xavier inwardly scread in excitent. He had been curious about the runes ever since he first saw them.
[As you command. Precision Targeting has been activated,] Haley said.
In the next instant, red dots appeared on the screen, indicating the positions of the monsters. Even as they moved, the red dots followed them precisely.
Fuush!
The dagger settled into Xavier’s right hand.
[Master Xavier, it’s ti to use the Runes.]
"A-alright...! But... how?" Xavier asked.
[You need to first hold the dagger—specifically, the area where the Runes are.]
Xavier did as told.
"Okay, now?"
"...!"
’What’s this feeling?’ Xavier felt strange after coming into physical contact with the Runes. Sothing strange coursed through his veins with each breath he took. He closed his eyes to understand more about this strange sensation.
"..."
After a few seconds passed, Xavier opened his eyes. He no longer seed uneasy. Instead, there was a determined look on his face. His posture was firm, no longer slumped like before.
Flash!
The Runes glowed with a faint blue light.
[It seems that you have figured it out, Master Xavier.] Haley said.
However, Xavier didn’t respond. He buckled his knees, lowered his right hand, raised his left hand, looked in the direction of the monsters, and then...
"SKY SUNDER!!"
RUMMMMMBLE!!
CRACK!
BOOOM!!!
Huge flashes of lightning erupted from the Hell’s Advocate Dagger and shot toward the monsters.
"AAOO!!"
"GROO!!"
"WOOO!!"
The lightning struck all of them, reducing them to nothing more than charred corpses.
"Huff... huff..." Xavier panted for breath.
[Are you okay, Master Xavier?] Haley asked.
"I..."
