If Francis were to describe what it feels like to have a space artifact it would be simply "Beautiful" not having to worry about being anchored somewhere for supplies is really practical.
After returning from the SHART empire, Francis took several missions a little easier, but he never took off his mask even though he was almost killed several times because he did not explode his enemies with energy condensation, after all he would not advance in " feel the energy "if it just made everything explode.
It was necessary to undergo life and death situations to advance, 2 years later he had already resumed his own level even with his eyes closed and even progressed, the movements of matter were followed by the movement of energy.
So Francis could even feel the eye movements of someone behind him, which he couldn't tell using his eyes.
During those 2 years Francis hadn't heard from number 2, so he was just sitting in a chair in the number 2 lab while teasing the little black snake with another energetic snake when he felt something heading into the room. .
He was a young man with long, somewhat parched hair and a somewhat ragged cape, but what caught Francis's attention was that the energy elements were moving wildly around the side of his face.
Francis couldn't resist curiosity so he removed the mithrill mask from his face for the first time after putting it on, and after a few seconds of getting used to the light he finally looked at the young man.
The young man was naturally number 2, who seemed to have come out of an apocalypse, the right half of his mask was full of cracks, the young man also looked up and looked at Francis, a few seconds later half of the mask fell, revealing horrible wounds , and an eye that had lost all shine.
Just when Francis was thinking of asking him what he found, number 2 walked to the couch, leaned back on it and passed out.
(Should I kill him?) Although number 2 was a great reliable assistant, he was someone who knew all his tricks, the possibility of a dangerous fight happening would only increase in the future, in a way it was better to finish it now, this was the best opportunity .
So after meditating for 30 minutes Francis took a dagger and approached the young man who was not conscious, put it on his neck and moved his wrist and the blood began to come out.
In modern times a complete horizontal cut of one of the carotids was practically fatal in a minute the person would die, and although we were in TERIA number 2, he was still a human flesh and blood.
