Naive Nature

"So cold!"

Noah screamed after his body was splashed by ice-cold water.

Is this how people wake up others in this place? No time to think about that. Lumine…

"Get up kid you have a job to do."

A cat knight said before he goes to kick Noah's butt.

Noah's reflexes made him dodge the kick. He made his body float and stick to the ceiling and then used his gravity manipulation to put the cat knight on his knees. Other cat knights around saw what he had done and charged with their spears.

"My body feels so heavy I can't get up."

"What is this magic?"

"This is no magic. It's my ability… Scumbags if you don't want to get hurt. You better bring me to the place where Lumine was."

Noah said with a chilling voice.

The knights look at one another anxiously. They know where the princess is, however, if they say anything to Noah. The empress will show her wrath toward them. Either option will lead to death.

They gulped their saliva and responded to Noah. "We can't…"

The gravity intensifies and the cracking of bones echoes in the chamber where they currently are.

"You better tell me before you lose your legs, mister."

"If I were you… You should not be doing this, Noah."

The one speaking was a car girl dressed in a maid outfit, Karla. She still wears her bright smiling face despite everything that happened between her and Noah.

Noah turned his sharp eyes to Karla. In anger toward the girl who betrays them. Noah dashed and attacked Karla with a flying kick.

The kick was swiftly dodged by Karla with a little tilt of her body. When Noah passed by. Karla already tied a transparent strig onto Noah's body. She pulled and clenched her fist.

"Cat Mega punch!"

Her punch directly hit Noah.

The happening was so fast and the impact of her fist made Naoh's head blank. That's a statement of how powerful Karla's fist is.

Thinking about it earlier, Karla simply punches Noah to place him unconscious. Noah has a modified body and one of the strongest cosmic weapons that obliterate in a great cosmic war.

One mere punch should not put him down normally.

Noah's gravity manipulation in the area was broken. All Cat Knight was released.

Immediately they rushed toward the boy and pinned him down with the tip of the spears on his neck.

"You little brat!"

The cat knight who woke up Noah was in a rage and aimed to kill Noah. Noah was still in his blank state. He cannot dodge the attack at all.

"Fool!"

Karla swung her right hand. Chopping the spear into two pieces. The cat knight was surprised after that. Karla directed her claws and cut him into five.

Blood drips down on the ground and the other cat knight staggered in fear.

Karla's expression was still smiling however it was more terriying in monsters. "Don't you all move without my orders. Listen, this boy is a cosmic weapon, and his far stronger than any of you. He is a powerful unit that will lead us to destroy the dragons… I'm fine harming him as punishment, but killing him is unforgivable… Do we have an understanding?"

"Yes ma'am!"

The cat straightens up their bodies and salute.

*Coagh* *Coagh* *Coagh*

Noah regained his composure and saw the river of blood on the floor.

He traced his eyes sight to the blood and saw the cat knight completely hacked down. The slice was so clean it's like he was made of butter. The gore was stomach-bending something Noah wasn't used to.

His stomach turned and he vomited on the floor.

"What is this guy? You're murdered in a great cosmic war and you're not good at seeing dead people. That's hilarious." Karla said and walked to Noah. She grabbed Naoh's head and made him look carefully at the dead. "Don't be scared. Look. Now that you are our weapon. You'll be seeing a bunch of corpses every day. You'll work your ass until you defeat the dragons."

"I don't get it. Why did you kill him? His you comrades right?"

"Comrades? That's funny. His never been a comrade. In cat paradise. I saw my troops as pawns and their life was to be sacrificed for the greater good of the empress. Don't you make any funny moves? I may one signal they'll kill your beloved princess."

"If you're this powerful. Why did you need my power? With power as strong as yours. I bet you can deal with cosmic weapons yourself."

"That's a great question… I'm afraid to say but My power is not enough. I'm strong. However, One must admit that I'm no island. I can't bring everyone to victory. There are few cats in cat paradise with the same strength as me including the empress. We're still lacking the prowess to destroy the dragons. If we add you to the equation. We'll be unstoppable. Do you understand that? In addition, your princess is good and eating well. She ordered the most expensive meal and had such a luxurious lifestyle in her cell."

"What?!"

"We are no monster. As long as you behave nothing bad will happen to her. Even we despise royalties."

Karla grabbed Noah by his ears and dragged him outside the chamber. There he saw hundreds of cat knights all lined up ready for battle.

"As you can see we only have this few in our armies. I don't usually kill my troops like earlier. I guess, I got caught in the heat of the moment. I'm seriously pissed off after all."

Karla sighed and placed her hand on her head.

"Commander Karla! Another dragon was sighted!"

"Look!"

The cat's pointed out a towering dragon from afar.

"The heck that dragon is bigger than that mountain! That can't be real."

"50 meter tall dragon!"

"You better believe it… It's charging its breath! Everyone ready to cast your barrier!"

Karla yelled.

Cat's wizards all lined up and conjured a transparent wall around the cat paradise. About ten layers of thick walls were made out of nowhere.

"They're creating the wall using photons," Noah muttered. He didn't know that photons could be manipulated without modifications.

The 50-meter-tall dragon stretched its long neck and faces to the cat paradise. Its mouth scourged flame before it blasted infernal flames that burned the lush green tree path.

The flames were destroyed just by the flame's impact.

"Did you see this Noah? This is the reason why we need your power. So that we can destroy those evil lizards and their evil ideals."

Karla muttered.

The transparent wall was breaking like glass.

From ten to five and five to two.

If this goes on. The flames will breach in and burn the tribe.

"Wizard second batch! Deployed!"

Karla orders.

"We can't! The second batch is still regaining its energy. They can't cast any spell right now."

"What? I don't get any report about this."

"We don't want to break your fun last night…"

"Idiot! My fun is less than the safety of the whole cat paradise. If these flames breached in. We're all burned down!"

Karla's nerves pop. Something very rare. After she shouted she smiled and made a cheerful expression.

"That's bad, I should be happy so that I remained cute forever… Then, We have no other choice." Karla turned into Noah. "Can you make that dragon tilt with you're gravity powers?"

Noah thought about it and replied.

"Well, I think I could. I should just aim at that ground. Break its foothold. That way I could bury him down."

"You made it sound so simple…"

"I'm trying to help here." Noah got up and stretched his body. "Karla, I still think you are a psychotic cat girl. But seeing that terrible thing you're dealing with. I guess, I have no choice but to help you guys. I'm sure Lumine will also do that same. She'll help you. And As her knight, I'll do everything for her safety."

Noah charges his gravity energy toward his feet.

"About the barrier?" Noah asked.

"I can use my energy to build another one but I think it won't be enough. You should destroy the dragon."

Karla replied.

Noah blasts off to the sky and dives straight down to the giant dragon.

"Gravity zone: Epicenter!"

The 50-meter-tall dragon was pulled down by intense gravity. Its neck immediately pulled like metal to a magnet. The ground could not take the force atop leading to the rocks and soil breaking down. The rumbling of soil destroyed the land and the dragon slid down to a huge pit.

The fire breath was replaced with a loud roaring cry.

"That should be good enough said Noah high up in the sky."

"What the heck are you doing to my father?!"

Charging at high speed a dragon attacks Noah.

From the dragon's back, a man jumps and swings his twin sword onto Noah.

"Speed Style: Gale slash!"

Noah took the impact and sent it to the ground. Thank goodness he didn't take any serious damage. He manipulated gravity to counter the gravity of the earth and made him land down gently.

But his battle wasn't over.

The twin sword guy chased him down and leveled his sword at him.

"You dare to hurt my father. You're paying with your life…" Look closely at Noah's face. He came to a realization. "Noah…"

"Is that you Jacob?"

Noah asked.

After seconds of staring at one another. They made serious angry faces and pulled each other's faces.

Their rivalry from ages ago re-ignited.

"Why are teaming up with those dirty slut cat girls?"

"Why are you destroying cat paradise?"

"Those cats are sexy, but they're evil! Evil sluts!"

"Everyone deserves to live and you don't have any reason to kill them."

"But those shitheads are killing dragons!"

"What?!"

Noah stunned.

"Don't tell me they didn't say anything to you. I know it. You are a naive idiot after all." Jacob kind of understood it and then pulled away. he looks around. "We're kinda far away from the cats. I guess we can talk here."

"I have my reasons…"

"Let me hear everything. Man, I'm hungry… Let's have some lunch first."
