Chapter 7: No Time to waste

Why Michio can't use magic?

When Oswald (Michio) set himself free from all chains of gods and roams around the heaven, many gods tried to stop him but everyone failed as Oswald is a truly immortal being with strength enough to destroy everything

When God knew that they can't kill him they tried to seal him. Oswald can win against everyone but still, it doesn't mean he is undefeatable. He knows his limit so that's why he has to run away from heaven to hell

In hell, when demons saw Oswald coming towards them all of them got scared as they knew just how strong Oswald is, so they fought against him

Oswald didn't want to kill them as he no longer was bound to follow gods order but for his self-defense, he has to kill those demons

Havoc in heaven and now in hell, and the person is one.

So, both god's and demons joined there hand when they realize that this one man can be someone who could kill them and the only person who has the strength to rule both heaven and hell

They can accept one superpower, for gods it is demons and for demons it is gods, so Oswald's very presence destroyed the balance.

War took place for years, as Oswald kept on the fight for his existence. He kept on fighting

And one day Gods were almost successful, as their weapons pierced his heart and his heart exploded

His flesh burned, bones broke, but still, Oswald didn't accept his fate as a soul who will be sealed forever.

With all his might, he opened a door to another world and then disappeared

The effect of a weapon on his heart is still there till today; his heart may have not recovered but the aftermath of that attack made him unable to use any magic.

Also, his physical strength is not that high as compared to his prime time.

And to recover his heart, which will allow him to use his mana, he needs external source help. So a spirit is needed for a full recovery, if not then who knows just how long he will have to wait.

. . .

After getting information-

Michio didn't waste any time and left the school without any application or reason, just left the school.

Also, he had already given some few orders to Izumi for future plans-

Right now in the carriage-

2 days have passed by since Michio has left the academy and is on his way to a forest called Devil's Mouth

"Kid, we will be soon reaching your destination. Let me tell you one more time, this place is not for kids so if you want lest return" The driver said to Michio

Michio threw a small pouch full of gold at his side. Seeing Gold coins coming out of the pouch, the driver said "I just hope that I won't get into any mess"

Soon they reach near the forest and the driver stopped the carriage

"We are here" he said to Michio

Michio stepped out and then looked at the forest in front of him, which looks very docile but a forest named as Devils's mouth surely is not that docile as it looks

The driver then turned the carriage and was going to leave but he stopped and looked at Michio

He asked "Kid, are you sure you want to be here? Are you not scared?"

Michio didn't even bother to look at him and said "You can leave now"

The driver didn't bother anymore and then left the place

After that Michio just looked at the forest for a while and then stepped inside

Inside the forest-

The forest is the same as usual. Big trees, flowers, few animals roaming around, birds, etc-etc But things will be different when we are in the deeper region and its night time

Michio without even looking here and there or enjoying the beauty of nature just kept on walking straight

He has set his mind; he will reach the deepest region today and will get a spirit for himself.

As he walked deeper, animals around him became lower in number and then just disappeared.

*noise*

A weird noise came from the right side and in the darkness 2 eyes can be seen

*roar*

With a roar, a beast jumped at Michio

But Michio remained calm and just kept on walking straight, the moment beast came near him, he just swings his fist at the beast without even looking at him

*bang*

With a big noise, the beast was sent flying away

It was not just that beast alone, on the way, various other beasts tried to hunt Michio but all of them were either killed by his fists or under his feet when he stepped on them

Nighttime-

Michio doesn't know just how far he has come or how many beasts he had killed. But all he knows is to find those spirits

And after another 2-3 hours of walk, suddenly he saw a faint light

When he walked closer, he came near a small pool area and around it was tiny humans covered in various elements. Not just that, there was some tiny beast on the ground moving here and there.

Both elemental spirits and Combat spirits were around here

With a smile, Michio said "It wasn't that hard"

Well, from his point of view it wasn't hard but when you look at the way, from where he came, you will see a various beast of different size and shape, but all them died

If it was some other person, even if it was Izumi, she would have either died by this time or just return back

But its Michio, the almighty Immortal being, nothing can stop him

After making sure that, they are spirits, Michio stepped towards them
