Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel-Chapter 208 Xespic

The sun reached the middle of the sky, spreading its sharp glow to the land below. With all the clouds blown away by Zick and Reikel, the sky was as clear as it could get.

"The world is a step closer to destruction, but here you are, still thinking only for yourself." Reikel misunderstood and looked at the inscription that appeared on Zick's back. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

"...." Zick still did not relax, he felt the fluctuation of the space in the surroundings to be weird. And he even sensed a familiar presence in it.

Reikel continued, and it did not seem like he had any intentions to stop Zick: "Your destination must be the other side of the mist of annihilation, right? It won't take a long time for giants to breach that side too." Instead, he seemed oddly friendly to Zick, like they were long-lost friends.

"That's so?" Zick concealed all his emotions and turned to the fortress in the distance.

'If I can't be safe even there, then I will just have to find another way to escape.' Zick had no problem running away.

Pride? Zick didn't even consider such an emotion. If Zick let pride control him, he could never face himself in the future. Such a stupid thing would never happen, thankfully.

Slowly, the space fluctuation became clearer, even Reikel could tell that it was not from Zick anymore.

With a ripple in the air, both Arianell and Yuriel appeared beside Zick.

Arianell's presence raised to such a height, that Zick stared at her blankly. The presence of divinity around Arianell was so vivid that it almost materialized in the air.

"That...It's her! How can she be here, she must not have been born so soon." Reikel reacted in a way that suggested that he knew Arianell's existence. He seemed to have hostility towards her too.

Zick had thousands of questions bottled up within him, but he did not have much time left. Feeling horrible inside, Zick turned to Arianell and nodded his head.

What Arianell wanted to do was already known by him through the connection, she transmitted her intention just now.

'If it succeeds, I will be able to have a capable helper by my side too.' Zick looked at Yuriel who had also understood what was happening.

'To your sister's location then.' Zick transmitted after thinking within a second. He did not know how to tell her the coordinate, thus he put it in simple words.

Arianell smiled brightly, a feeling of delight rose within her. She was going to be of use to Zick for the first time.

Reikel showed a vigilant expression and did not make a rash move. He appeared even more serious than when he fought against Zick. He just watched how all three of them vanished into the thin air, with a huge fluctuation of the space.

.....

At an unknown place, upon a huge building.

A ripple formed into a point, and three figures emerged immediately.

Feeling the polluted air of the city, Zick tilted his head: '...I am back on Earth?'

Zick hastily spread his senses to the surroundings, almost the area of a kilometer instantly appeared within his head.

'Or not, I guess.' Zick concluded by feeling the presence of mana, and by the language, people were talking in.

Zick had no idea what this language was. It was not at all familiar to any of the languages on Earth.

Arianell moved to Zick's embrace at once with a smile. But what she did next, made Zick bewildered.

Arianell began licking Zick's cheek with her small tongue.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zick didn't expect such an action, he pulled her away by hand.

Feeling Zick's troubled feelings internally, Arianell tilted her head: "Mother said -- This is how you show your affection."

Hearing Arianell speak for the first time, Yuriel's eyes widened.

With a small realization, Zick understood how Arianell possessed such overwhelming strength out of nowhere.

Before the dragon lord's soul remnant ordered Arianell to tell no one of her existence, but now that she had been fully consumed, Arianell did not hesitate to tell the truth.

"That's so." Zick Patted Arianell's smell head, bringing happy laughter out of her.

'Well, I am also happy getting out of that place. I want to celebrate, but I don't have time to do something like that.' Zick Heaved a long sigh.

One problem after another was making Zick feel troubled now. He didn't even know what to do exactly anymore.

'I wonder if I should just leave this planet...But I don't know any other place to go. I don't want to be drifting in space forever....' Zick looked at the familiar cars that passed through the road. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

The place they appeared had architecture at the level of modern society, and the presence of mana in the air was very thin too. It could be used, but the need for concentration increased tremendously.

'Luckily, I do not need mana anymore. My advancement in the mage profession may be put to a halt, but it's not a big deal.' Zick, Arianell, and Yuriel looked at the familiar, yet unfamiliar surroundings.

Many huge buildings entered their sight, with a series of monitors placed on top.

Zick looked below his feet, he could feel that the golden dragon was somewhere within the building. It had not hatched, mostly likely for the low mana.

'If it has been brought here, that means someone is already aware of its extraordinariness. If something happened to it...That would be a disappointment.' Zick lifted his head, feeling the presence of something moving towards him.

From the sky, seven 'Machines' Moved towards Zick and the others.

"Mecha...?" Zick looked with a blank expression.

These robots were made of unknown black metal, and at the chest, the logo of the company shone brightly. Mana was being radiated by this armored robot, matching master rank.

Surrounding Zick from all directions, a voice left the armored robot, known as the Xespic: "***** **** *******!"

"....Do you understand their language?" Zick turned to Yuriel, who shook her head.

The pilot sitting within the Xespic heard Zick speak, making him confused. He had heard anyone talk in such a weird language.

These seven Xespic were dispatched the moment spatial movements were detected.

Immediately, they began communicating with headquarters, it was not possible to communicate with the target.

The people were hesitant to move recklessly too, seeing Arianell in Zick's hand. The thing that bothered them the most was that...Why was the man before them naked?

"Ahh...." Noticing himself naked, Zick put down Arianell and plunged his hand into his pancreas area. Everyone was startled seeing his action, when he took out his fist -- a red ring could be seen within it. The wound healed in no time, sending the pilots of Xespic into another stage of shock.

Truthfully, most of Zick's space ring was blown away as he got beaten to a pulp by Reikel. Taking out the suit with high defence, he wore it with no shame at all.

Fortunately, Some of his resources were stored in Yuriel's space ring too.

Zick held his chin in wonder: 'Should I try keeping a nice relationship with them?' He was not the kind of person who committed homicide for no reason.

And from Reikel's tone, it seemed like it would take a while to get past the mist of annihilation too.

For now, seeing the golden dragon egg's condition was important.

After concentrating, Zick used his senses to the fullest. The location of the dragon egg was found in no time, it was on the ground floor of the building he stood on.

The golden egg recognized Zick's presence too, sending in a wave of transmission. This showed that it was alright, it had not been damaged as of yet.

'That's good. I can just claim to be the parent of that egg, and it shouldn't be a problem.' Zick thought of a reasonable explanation instantly.

He could turn into a dragon, so there was no need to even speak of any proof.

"Go bring me the dragon egg on the ground floor," Zick ordered Yuriel, feeling her to be the best choice as she could just teleport there.

"Yes, Sir Zick." Yuriel loyally spoke and vanished.

"****!" A flustered voice left the Xespic.

A xespic with a large cannon in it aimed at Zick, who sat on the railing with Arianell leisurely.

Seeing Zick's easygoing attitude, they were all lost for words. They had still not received an order to use any force.

Zick had already fully recovered, even if all of them attacked -- they would not even be able to scratch him even in his current state.

CLICK~

At once, an order of apprehension was given to all the Xespic pilots. One of the Xespic landed on the building, it had a height of around four to five meters, making it appear terrifying to a normal person.

The deck of the Xespic opened, on its back, and a woman with a long ponytail and with aggressive features moved towards Zick.

A community that has grown to such an extent would always have laws and regulations to bind its people. With that comes many limitations, such as prohibition from using Xespic against normal humans.

Zick smiled seeing their action: 'As I thought, no matter where -- Human behavior is always the same.'

Zick had realized long ago that the people here were weak, it was because of the low existence of mana. Even the women before him only radiated energy comparable to a middle-rank knight, without a mana nerve.

This led to no one being able to surpass and rise above the others. Giving rise to a society similar to the one on Earth.

Yuriel appeared before Zick, with the dragon egg in her hands. Arianell's eyes widened, feeling the connection with her cousin.

Zick let Yuriel carry it as he was holding Arianell in his hand.

With the appearance of Yuriel, the woman who got out of Xespic immediately took out a handgun. It was the first time she had seen such a magical thing, no devices were used either.

The woman, Yeolen, Pointed the gun toward Zick. But all she got in return were the blank stares of three people.
