A Deus ex Machina Owner

"You seem to be having a really hard time"

"Of course. This person is troublesome."

"We had to figure out how he's able to teleport and see the future."

"Maybe his weapon?"

"No. That can't be. It is too powerful for us to handle it. It if really is one of that."

"But we had to find out."

"Right."

"But, where is he now? He disappeared after binding me with that web onto a tree."

"Leave."

"Wha–"

He is just behind them, this time.

"If you don't leave. I will kill all of them."

They are far away from their group. And they know they could somehow defend themselves as they are not that weak. But both of them suddenly got worried.

"What'd you do?"

"Go and check them out."

They hurriedly came to where their teammates are.

Somehow. They are all bound to plants. Which holds all of them. They don't seem to be able to escape from those.

Satoshi quickly tried to save them by fasting fire-based spells to burn the plants. But then a wall made out of earth suddenly stopped the fireballs and quickly revert after defending.

"What the hell?" Exclaimed by Genji.

"You can't go against nature. Even if you are a chosen. You can't fight it. We are one with nature, we could talk to nature and, nature helps us. No beastman evil. And so. My job is just to look for outsiders that may destroy our balance."

"Then how will they be unbounded?"

"It's not easy. Then. I'll give you two options. Leave. Or defeat me."

"..."

Both of them can't respond to those words.

"If you leave. I will not harm you along the way. But if you defeat me. I will command nature to release them."

"Fine. But let me as–"

"Stop. I'll tell. You. This is the twilight dagger. This is a weapon passed down to the chosens. I'm currently the chosen so I had this. This dagger is passed down to me a few years later after I'm born. Since the previous chosen is dead. As you see before. I could teleport and see the future. It is the abilities of this Deus ex Machina. My job as a chosen is simply monitoring the world. We beastmens live in harmony. So outsiders are not mostly welcomed. As you will just defile the balance of the land. That is why I'm asking you to leave now. Since talking those minerals from that cave could affect the balance. But if you don't want to leave. I will give you a fair match. I won't look onto the future. Defeat me. Or if you want. Kill me. As I killed one of you just now. Or simply leave. And all of them will be free."

"I will definitely kill you. You arrogant bastard!" As he yelled with his scrambled voice since he is currently in demon form. Genji felt like this since his heart now accepted other persons as teammates or friends. His killer personality is almost gone now. But because of how arrogant this enemy. He now felt an extreme bloodthirst that he didn't felt for years now. All of his teammates knew he is cursed by a demon. And they never feared him because of it. Instead. Those people chose to stay with him as they knew loneliness is the trigger of his rampage.

[Thunder Dragon Mode]

[Super Acceleration]

Now. With his demon form which gives him extreme durability Strength, Speed, and Regenerative abilities. This battle may seem favorable to him now.

He lunges towards Kuro. He slashed him but Kuro intercepted. Kuro returned it with a stab on his shoulder. Though it doesn't matter since he is in demon form.

Even Kuro doesn't look into the future now. He is actually an excellent fighter. He could this dagger to it's extreme. And highly efficient with it.

Kuro constantly teleports since he couldn't keep up with Genji's speed.

Kuro became serious now. And even using his arms on the back to use the dagger and attack Genji.

But even after hacks and slashes on Genji. All of the injuries just keep healing back.

"This is fun! I never got fired up in a battle like this. Never!"

"Then I will make you more fired up!"

Genji took a step back. Then stabs at a Kuro. Though Kuro managed to teleport. Lightning releases on a single straight line. Which could be seen as a majestic sight.

"This is fun. Outsider."

[Genji. Stall him a bit more. I'm preparing something.]

[Fine.]

They are currently talking using telepathy.

Genji managed to kick Kuro on his face —Proving that Kuro is not using his ability to see the future— which then sends him flying. Genji then suddenly felt stabs on his body. Which seems to be hundreds of them at once.

Though the injuries healed. He still could feel the pain and got him on his knees.

"Teleportation is not my ability. But the Dagger's. It makes sense that it could teleport too."

"Guaahh...."

Genji started panting due to pain being stabbed hundreds of times at once.

[It's done.]

Black arms suddenly erupted from the ground and grabbed Kuro.

Time stopped then. For Satoshi.

He appeared by teleport.

He located all the hidden traps in the area. Some are deadly and dangerous. And some are just intended to catch them.

He then replaced those traps with his own spell traps. And planted magic items below which imbued with different spells.

He first wanted Genji to distract Kuro and secretly plant those below that ground. He waited for Kuro to be there and grabbed him with the same spell as Earl uses.

If Kuro could teleport despite being held. Which is not how teleports operate. He used a magic item called. "Spell Spitter". To use it. You simply had to imbue it with a spell and detonate it. Which is how he does this. And inserted it with [Teleportation Delay]. Which would delay a teleportation casting for 3 seconds before taking off. But since it is a Deus ex Machina. He had to have more than than.

Kuro not knowing that this is already a [Mirror World] will more likely teleport somewhere but this place's space is now really limited. Also, this place's already been planted with too many [Explode Mine]. So if he still managed to get away with those regarding teleportation. Satoshi will detonate everything and protect themselves using a barrier.

And now. As the time is stopped. Satoshi will cast spells. Since. Once he cast a spell. It will be suspended in time. He could cast as many as he wants and all of them will hit the target at the same time.

" Let's see if this will succeed."
