Birth Of The Crafts-God

Chapter 75 - 75: The Gauntlets' Debut

"If there ever comes a day you become a physical entity, dread that day, system." Lucas cursed before stepping into the toilet.

Right as his right leg entered, the water began to spin into a whirlpool that forcefully tugged at him, dragging him into it.

"..."

Lucas held his breath and shut his mouth, mentally cursing intensely at the system and wondering why things had to be like this.

Luckily, the toilet water was sparkling clean otherwise he would have torn his brain out and

But the little being before it simply breathed in and out once.

*Bang*

"Let's get this done with." Lucas pounded the gauntlets together, generating a strange wave of electricity over them that dissipated almost immediately.

"Roar!" The helokiel released an intimidating bellow.

The enemy was merely at the same level as it, and had only managed to injure it by surprise. Even though it was injured, the helokiel suspected that Lucas' current state was a sham.

In truth, the helokiel was a tad right. Lucas' current state was as a result of activating the Bronze grade card he got from fulfilling a mission in the past. It was a second level card which meant that for the next two hours, Lucas would possess the strength of a second level Apertures Opening stage stellar practitioner.

"Noisy." Lucas muttered.

In the next second, the helokiel disappeared and appeared beside him, waving its claw towards him.

*Bang*

Lucas' left palm opened wide and caught the helokiel's claw, leaving the monster dumbfounded.

"Ro-"

*Bam*

A punch greeted the helokiel's face, shutting it up halfway through its roar.

"I said you're being noisy." Lucas coldly stated.

His gaze was like that from the deepest depths of the abyss, freezing the monster and making it shiver for a bit. For a second, the helokiel was confused as to who the real beast was.

Still holding tightly onto the monster's claw, Lucas grabbed a part of its head -which included an eye- with his right arm, and lesser firmly on it.

"This is for making me use my equipment before it's completed."

The helokiel's covered eye could suddenly see a blue light that rapidly expanded before blasting brilliantly.

"Roar!"

The monster let out a mournful scream as it tried to struggle away from Lucas' grip. It brandished its free claw at Lucas in an attempt to efficiently escape.

Lucas didn't hold onto it any longer, letting the monster withdraw from his reach since it was counter-attacking. He wasn't bothered about it escaping; with the combination of his new vestige and his strength now at the second level of the Apertures Opening stage, the helokiel couldn't escape even if it were at the third level.

"Save a bit of your voice before you lose it. You'll be screaming like this a couple more times soon."
