The silence of the Peach Bar was suddenly shattered as a strange being intruded. The legendary grass elemental Grassy was in the place!
The drunken fairies instantly stared at Jack suspiciously. Would they see through the ghillie suit? At this moment, he was holding his breath as he very slowly walked forward.
"What the heck is that?!"
"An enemy?"
"Attack?"
They were a second away from launching an all-out assault on him. Even if he could survive it, their cover would be 100% blown!
Jack started mumbling so softly that it was barely audible: "Bring Peach Nectar back! Bring Peach Nectar back!" As would a golem given a mission by its master.
To make it seem real, he made sure to use the runic language as he ignored the spectators entirely. As long as they didn't interfere with his "mission," everything would be fine.
"It seems to be a golem…."
"Who would have created that?"
"It's heading for the nectar…what if?!"
They already had one specific fairy in mind, but it all needed confirmation. A fairy suddenly blocked his way with a grin on its face.
"Let's check it out real quick."
The opponent waved his hand, and a thorny vine came out of the ground. It then pointed at Jack. The vine flew at him and instantly pierced his shoulder from side to side.
— Pierce! —
He did not twitch, nor did he utter a sound.
The fairy happily brought it back, inspecting the weapon…it was looking for blood! This would tell them that he was a living being and it would be the end!— or not.
"No blood, it's not alive…." The fairy concluded.
Jack had barely made it in time as he had used a trick to prevent the bleeding.
His left shoulder was currently completely dead! (kinda) He had driven enough Demonic Energy in there to cause magic necrosis.
Self-Harm was impossible in the basic system, but the pro players from his previous life knew it was sometimes required. Heck, the system should have applauded such quick thinking!
This little stunt had almost taken all his HP out, but it had allowed him to overcome this hurdle! Sadly the fairies weren't done just yet.
"Wait, should you have stabbed it if it's hers?!"
"Oh, you're right! We better heal it up then."
"It's fine. There's almost no damage!"
No damage?! It's fine?! Jack felt like throwing a fireball at them. Even if he didn't react, it still hurt like hell. But what followed was even worse!
A fairy approached him with a kind smile.
"Here you go, little plant, eat up!" The enemy started driving PURE Life mana inside him.
Life mana had healing properties, and Jack's body felt better, but there was an issue. Even after he was fully healed, the other guy didn't stop!
Jack was akin to a balloon getting filled with water. Filling it too much would naturally result in an explosion.
Oh crap! Fuck! Please just stop! But Jack's inward prayers weren't heard. The fairy really wanted the grass elemental to be 100% in perfect state!
Please no more!!!! He could feel his entire body bloat: there simply was too much energy. He had to do something and fast.
He started driving Demonic Energy inside him in the most subtle way possible. The goal was to slowly chip away at the incoming energy without alerting the caster.
Such a thing was damn near impossible! But at this moment, it was his only option. Otherwise, death would await him.
Jack VS Drunk Fairy
#Healing Contest #No More #Let Me Be!
Jack was losing, hard. He had to do something, no matter what. He suddenly summoned a Pumpkin, making it pop out of the grass as it dropped to the ground, splattering.
"A pumpkin?"
"This thing can grow food?"
"What kind of elemental is that?"
They glanced at him with suspicion, mana swirling around them as they prepared to attack. He felt his heart beat super fast as a fairy flew down to examine the orange things.
"Guess you just pumped too much Life energy in there. Let's just leave it alone." It went from 100 top 0 as they ignored him and went back to drinking.
#Saved By The Pumpkins (Once Again!)
The rest was very straightforward. He brought the liquor out like an obedient elemental. Then their party worked together to place it in the way of their target's patrol.
As the fairy found it, they were watching in a bush. She frowned, checking it for poison, but it was 100% alcohol. When she started drinking, they cheered.
It didn't take long for her to get sleepy and stop on the side of the road, half-hidden in bushes. Now was the perfect time to rob her token!
But just as they were about to make a move, a bunch of fairies suddenly showed up. They were making their way toward the sleeping fairy and would reach her before them!
"If they find her, they'll bring her back to the barracks, and we won't be able to—"The friendly fairy exclaimed.
"Woo?!" (Oh no!)
The little wolf glanced at the problem and quickly figured out a solution. At this instant, the priority was getting the ingredients for the elixir. They could worry about synthesizing it later.
"Woo!" (Leave it to me!)
Moon Moon decisively rushed away. A few seconds later, fiery chickens fell on the various buildings in the distance.
This was the start of the greatest fire in the History of village fires. After all, everything was made of plants!
It didn't take long for it to spread and for the brave wolf to be noticed, the fairies flying toward it. There would only be an instant before the confusion turned into extreme high alert!
Jack exploited the opportunity to steal the token and rush inside the palace. It was the size of a two-story house, filled with paintings and positively gorgeous.
As he barged inside the main room, he found himself face to face with the sole resident of this place, the strongest fairy in the village, its protector.
She was different from the others he had seen before. She didn't even bother to flap her wings. She was simply floating as if a divine being.
Magic freaking oozed out of her entire body!
"An intruder? Anyone who invades our village dies!!" She raised her hand as if an immortal empress.
That's when she launched the first deadly spell of many…
