"Hello~ You called , didn't you?" said Lescar with a friendly smile.
If he could Luke would have smiled when he saw the boy's face, which was full of strange scars.
"Oh! I forgot that you can't move." Lescar was walking backwards, fitting the half-wolf's field of vision, and snapped two fingers of his right hand.
At that mont, Luke felt all the weight on his shoulders disappear, and his muscles, tensed up due to fatigue, were finally released from their temporal prison.
The half-wolf rotated his right shoulder a little, as he looked at Lescar in disbelief at what was happening around him.
"Did you do all this yourself?" He asked.
Lescar brought his right index finger up to his cheek, thought for a second, and replied, "Was it ? Maybe, but that's not what I was called to do, right? And I believe it's not ti yet, so what do you need."
"I need you to save that woman!" Luke pointed at Ayumi, who was only a few inches away from the second arrow, after managing to block the first arrow with her translucent shield.
The boy looked back, finally noticing what was happening around him. "Well, well... The eight mbers of the Broteforge Empire Council are gathered together, and one is about to kill the other? Tsk, tsk... I don't know if I should interfere with that."
"What do you an?" The half-wolf questioned with wide eyes.
"Luke Lange, there are things that need to happen and things that should not happen. Your death, for example, is sothing that shouldn't happen, but Ayumi Yamazaki Strogueher's life doesn't matter to . In fact, it makes no difference whether she dies or not."
The half-wolf was incredulous at the boy's words, although he understood almost nothing of what Lescar ant. "All right, then I'll save her myself." Luke decided to take advantage that the world was still, for this was a unique chance that even the did not foresee.
In the midst of Luke's first step, Lescar snapped his fingers and made his legs lock again, as did his completely.
"What are you doing!?" questioned Luke as he noticed that he could still move the muscles in his head.
"Luke, she's not essential, forget it."
"She's essential to , you idiot! Without her there will be no point in protecting this fucking Empire from the demons! I don't care what happens to the cities, or the people. I just don't want Ayumi to be sad or lose the sparkle in her eyes while I sit on my ass anywhere!" The half-wolf shouted.
At that mont he was feeling frustrated that he had to beg for soone's help, even though he had worked so hard over the past year to get stronger. He was also feeling fear, fear of losing one of the people he had loved most throughout his life. In addition to anger at himself for not having foreseen that sothing like this could happen, after all Erick Smakusa was not just a henchman but a respected nobleman, it was to be obvious that he would not accept being condemned without fighting back.
Lescar was surprised, because this way of acting was not similar to the way the half-wolf acted when he first t him.
"I get it, I get it... If this is so important to you, and since I'm not supposed to intervene directly, I'll give you a boost so you can try to save her, okay? I just need you to listen to before you try to act." The boy said with a neutral expression.
At this point, Luke realized how it really made no difference to Lescar whether Ayumi was alive or not, but the half-wolf also didn't let his thoughts wander in the midst of the confusion, because he had a goal to fulfill.
Hearing the boy's calm words, Luke rely nodded.
"Thank you for such understanding... Right now, we are in a parallel dinsion where I have separated this place, this mont. In the real world, all ti is running naturally, but here I can keep it still. It may be confusing for you, but I hope you understand that anything you do here, will have no effect in the real world, aning that no matter how many tis you save her here, nothing will change in the Other Place."
"So, what should I do? If even with downti I can't save her, how could I? I've thought of thousands of alternatives, but none will work."
"I was hoping to ask this question only when the ti ca, but if you called ahead of ti I have no choice... Luke, in the distant past they used to call The rchant, eh... I know it's a weird nickna, but are there any Gene Skills of yours that you wish to exchange for a stronger one? As The rchant, I can do that."
Luke didn't understand what he ant by 'in the distant past', as Lescar was just a boy, but also having the notion that Lescar wasn't just that, he didn't question it. So, he started thinking about which Skill he wouldn't miss too much.
Luke didn't have many Genes Abilities, so this was a very difficult decision.
allows him to control so of the wind, as well as generate it from nothing. This was the first Gene Skill he had assimilated, and also one that had saved him from death several tis.
'No, it would be impossible for to get rid of .' Luke decided.
The next Abilities that ca to his mind were
