Wuxia World
Chapter 1172 A Strange New Friend
-----
Ultimately, I ended having to eat with everyone. I wanted more time alone to process everything, but it couldn't be helped. It was mostly my fault that I dragged so many people into this trial with me. These people within the trials which probably don't even know of their actual existences. Which I am not even sure if they're real or not.
Although I do have some theories, one of them is that they're truly not alive, but records of people that once existed in the universe. Somehow these records had been brought back to a simulated sort of life where they're not aware of their nonexistence.
I am sure that it would probably break the trial if I told them the truth though…
Although, well, there's another thing I'm hoping could be true, that they're more than just that, perhaps Spirits of these people, or even their souls.
That they're given a second chance at life through this trial and then could pass away peacefully, or something similar to that.
But even with all of this thinking, I can't really utilize it anyways, even less figure out what's going on. Therefore I've been concluded some time ago that questioning their existences has no meaning.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
I'll simply enjoy myself when necessary, use these bonds for their help, and facilitate the trial even if a little bit. Even though I would love to complete everything alone, the moment I learned this trial had many limitations, this was my only way to get the best results.
"Thanks for the meal, it was really good," I nodded, sighing in relief. "I should get going now, I want to see how my Machine Warrior is doing."
"Oh right, I heard it moved on its own again, did you control it?" wondered Emilia.
"Hm, well, that's what I'm going to go investigate," I said. "I'll go alone, so please leave me alone for a while. I need my privacy sometimes."
"S-Sorry, I understand," nodded Henriette, feeling a bit hurt by my words.
"My bad, we'll leave you be," Patrick laughed a bit.
"Are you sure you're okay though?" Hermes asked while looking concerned.
"I'm more than fine, don't worry," I smiled, nodding. "Now if you excuse me, I have to go."
Once I finally left them there, I quickly moved to my personal storage, where Braveblitz was still exercising! It has been forty minutes since our talk, and he was still doing it.
"One, two! One, two! One, two, three! One, two, three!"
It was really him, the Machine Warrior I thought a tool, an inert machine that I had grown attached to as my weapon and armor into one…
Had become a real living being that could spear! Just what kind of outcome is this?
This just went beyond my own understanding.
But seriously, could it be because the spiritual digital energies of my three spirits merged into my robot plus the Neutonium Core I recreated?
Even then, it sounds so insane…
I am surprised, usually I am not even shaken this much. Even when I fought Mammon I was rather calm despite everything…
But this damn-
"BLAKEEEE! You're here my friend!"
Braveblitz stopped exercising and then took a bottle with oil, drinking it completely while placing a huge towel around his neck, he wasn't even sweating though, I don't think he can sweat to begin with.
"Phew! Now that was a pretty good exercise! I always have to keep myself in full form for the next battle, brother!"
"I am not your brother and why do you address me with my full name like we've been friends all our lives? Call me pilot or master first, don't be insolent…" I sighed, feeling completely shocked.
"Hahahaha! Master? Pilot?! But Blake, you are none of those things to me!" he said, suddenly rushing towards me. "You're my friend! We fight together to defeat evil! Don't we?! Blakeeeee!"
"Stop screaming my damn name!"
"BLAKEEEE!"
He ran towards me and spread his arms.
Wait a second.
There's no way!
This damn giant robot wants to hug me?!
"GIVE ME A FRIEND HUG! I'M SO HAPPY I CAN MOVE ON MY OWN AND TALK, HAHAHA! BLAKEEEE!"
"Get away from me!"
Against all logic, a huge robot that could talk and treated me as his friend started chasing me to hug him! I just couldn't believe it.
"Why so mean?! You've been inside me all this time, hahahaha! We've unified soul and minds! We've become ONE! We are best friends!"
"Shut up! Why are you putting it like that?! You're… you're a damn pervert aren't you?! You inherited the worst traits from Hendrick!"
"You're so funny Blake! Hahahaha!"
Braveblitz simply laughed off any of my words.
This damn bastard…
Now I want to dismantle him whole.
Maybe if I do that he'll stop yapping endlessly.
"Come on, where's my friend hug?"
He was about to grab me with his huge hand, but I stopped him.
"Enough!"
I punched his hand with my fist, I was strong enough to at least deflect that.
But it…
It hurt a lot?
He's much tougher than before! By a lot.
"Ugh…!"
As I groaned, he laughed.
"Hahaha! You're energetic today, aren't you? Did you rest well, Blake? You overexerted yourself, brother." He crossed his arms while smiling as if nothing wrong could ever happen.
"Maybe I shouldn't have gone so far, so you wouldn't had been born out of it…" I facepalmed. "What the hell am I going to do now?! We can't just pretend you just started talking as if it were a new software update or something."
"Hahah, I think it'll work out at the end anyways, don't worry!" he said. "Everyone here loves you, you're their hero- No! We are their heroes! The two of us, always together, Blake! Let's defeat evil!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Can't you calm down for a second?! And stop chasing me around!"
I ended running in circles for longer than I imagined as this perverted robot kept chasing me endlessly.
Ultimately, I succumbed to his hug, and it was… cold as his metal.
"Nice! We've done the friend hug! Now my Friendship Batteries are full! Let's gooooo! Look brother, I think I've developed something brand new!"
"Huh?! That's…!"
Suddenly, Braveblitz revealed something from his hand.
FLASH!
