Chapter 24: The Little Reaper (2)

"Bang!"

... Natashia's vision was filled with white light

Natashia braced herself for a painful death but oddly she did not feel even a tickle only a slight pressure from the white light.

[Mana Conversion (Max) is attempting to Convert the current attack]

[Warning the Current vessel cannot handle the amount of converted Mana please find another way to expel the excess Mana!]

Natashia read through the messages that popped in front of her and she panicked. She knew very well what happens to a person when they are overloaded of Mana.

Mana, in their original world it was defined as a part of the power of gods each individual has different capacity for Mana and if the capacity was ignored and instead overloaded it is said that the gods will incite punishment.

Of course every story has truth in them and in this case Mana overload does cause painful unimaginable death.

"You saw the messages right? You must be panicking so let me help you after all I'm a good boy!"

The little reaper started approaching Rogue(Fumi) and once he reached him, he quickly grabbed him and threw him towards Natashia.

"You should heal him, That would help him recover and survive while you also get to use your excess Mana right?"

He was smiling teasingly towards Natashia as if he was enjoying his little prank.

In truth the little reaper was controlling the current output of the ball of energy he never had any intention of killing either Natashia or Rogue after all he'd have to suffer through harsh scolding or punishment. Nevertheless his immature prank was much dangerous for a simple prank seeing as how Natashia was pale and dripping with cold sweat as she used heal on Rogue(Fumi).

*Heal!*

And right after healing Rogue(Fumi) she ran towards the unconscious Shizuka and applied heal too.

[Mana Conversion (Max) is attempting to Convert the current attack]

[Warning the Current vessel cannot handle the amount of converted Mana please find another way to expel the excess Mana!]

But despite her effort the Mana consumption of heal was just to little to even chunk away from the overloading Mana.

Natashia was starting to panick even if she constantly use heal she would still overload.

But she had no other way of using Mana other than heal all of her other skills are locked she can't even use a spell since even her chant skill was locked.

"What should I do!?"

As she started panicking her pokerface started crumbling and a her body started shaking she constantly used Heal with both her hands at the same time to Shizuka and Rogue.

*I hope I can last with this!*

She was hoping that if she constantly used heal she'd keep herself from overloading, without a doubt it was indeed effective but there was a problem with constantly applying heal to a living being.

[Warning! Healed subject is about to enter Healing Overdose!]

Yes it was the very same tactic that had helped her in many battles that blocked her only hope of lasting.

Natashia quickly pulled her hands away from the two and at the same time her face was filled with horror.

At this moment she remembered the teachings of the church

"Grim Reaper's are Abusers of Life and Death! They will play with the living! And if the living is of no use they will rid of them!"

Natashia remembered the Pope screaming on top of his lungs in an effort of letting everyone hear his sermons.

In this Current situation Natashia fully agreed with the Pope's sermon she couldn't help but agree as she saw the reaper merely smiling at her as she was facing her doom.

[Mana Conversion (Max) is attempting to Convert the current attack]

[Warning the Current vessel cannot handle the amount of converted Mana please find another way to expel the excess Mana!]

Another message came and Natashia's face became even more horrified as she could hear the tick-tock of the clock in her head as if counting down to her death.

Slowly she could feel her nerves starting to sore and her muscle involuntarily contracted and expands and her breathing was cut out of nowhere.

Out of fear she closed her eyes expecting the worst of pain she'd ever experienced but after a few seconds nothing happened.

"Whoops, that was dangerous anymore and it would've been a one way ticket to scolding!"

The little reaper exclaimed as black aura swallowed the ball of energy fully stopping the attack.

He was much more concerned of the fact that he'd be scolded rather than the fact that he nearly killed a soul that they were supposed to protect.

"Ah! I forgot to save the game! Damn it! Now I have to collecting those materials again! I don't want to fight that boss again!"

Now the little reaper was distracted by the fact that he forgot to save the game he started stomping on the ground in frustration.

"Damn it!"

After a few stomps he picked up a rock and threw it to one of the ghouls outside the barrier.

"This is all your fault!"

The ghoul was struck on its chest and the rock was stuck deeply on its lungs, the little reaper picked another rock and threw it to the same ghoul and this time he was able to hit its shoulder.

"Damn it!"

He picked up a stone and threw it at the same ghoul and this time he hit its right leg.

"Aahhhrgh!"

He screamed in frustration. The little reaper was actually trying to hit the ghouls head but his aim was just so bad that he always missed despite the fact that he was barely 3 meters away from the ghoul.

"I'll get you this time!"

While the little reaper was distracted by his own childish antics Natashia was frozen stiff.

She still haven't regained her composure yet as she stared at the sky trying to held back her voice from escaping her mouth.

She was about to cry, she might have been a woman who has entered various battlefield and faced various crisis but deep down she still had a fragile heart.

She could've endured the fear of death but that was only if she had the help of her skills that helps her mentally. But right now she barely even have any of such skills.

She couldn't help it anymore and was about to burst out crying when suddenly a black aura appeared blocking her view from the sky.

"Ahh~ no no no no! Don't cry my dear~ you'll ruined your face!"

A very mellow like voice came from that black aura although it didn't take any form Natashia recognized the manly voice that tried to act femininely.

"Uh uh! No girl that face is expensive~~ don't ruin it with tears~"

Natashia hardened her face and activated a skill.

[Pokerface]

While Natashia stared at the black aura with her pokerface a different voice shouted in surprise.

"Mister Fefe!?"

It was the little reaper and he sounded terrified at the sudden appearance of a senior.
