Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 35: Gold

"But oh my, you're drenched in blood, You're not hurt are you?" Mary said in a concerned voice.

Alex shook his head, he looked at the areas where he had been hurt and smiled, "I'm fine." He looked towards Mary.

"That's good to know, getting hurt in your first official battle would be Well, embarrassing." Mary giggled as she looked at Alex. Buster shook his head and looked towards Mary, "I know you're having fun but Don't have too much fun with the new guy. It's perfectly normal to get hurt in their first official battle. But What's unnatural is that the wounds from two arrows deeply penetrated into the shoulder and stomach just magically disappearing." He looked towards Alex with a deep gaze but before he could continue, A loud roar came from the direction of the gate.

*ROAR!*

Everyone's attention turned toward gold. Who's figure had been changed completely. His body structure was that of a human but everything else looked like that of a lion. He stood over 7 feet tall in this form. "He looks like a muscular man wearing a lion's mask." Mary laughed as she looked at Gold.

Buster shook his head, "His form might look funny but remember, He is considered one of the most powerful awakened we have. I wouldn't mind having a weird or different looking form if It gives me power like that."

Midnight nodded, "It doesn't matter, I think it looks kind of cool. Especially that upper body, one more and that shirt will rip apart." She seemed to be more interested in gold's body.

Alex looked towards the gate, he could see it vibrate. "They're here."

"KEKE!" "kekekek"

A dozen reapers walked out, all seemed to be 6-7 feet tall, and had a better physique than the ones Alex battled. They also had crystals on their chest, which was larger than the crystal that the one Midnight captured had. Buster looked towards Mary and smiled, "I just went through a battle and so did Midnight. Alex isn't powerful enough and Gold Well, Gold can't think straight in his form. You're the only one here seems to be the most qualified to do this job."

Mary narrowed her eyebrows, "What job?" She seemed to be concerned about what job Buster was talking about.

Buster smiled even wider, "Well, It might be of big help to the research team if we collected more live samples of the evolving reapers. These ones seemed to have evolved even more, and the crystal on their chest. You know better than I do that we've never seen such a crystal on their body. All of this needs to be researched but bringing a dead body of the reaper doesn't sound as helpful for research as a live one. More experiments can be done and so on." Mary spoke before Buster could continue to do so, "Okay, Okay I get you. I'll go and drag a reaper here. First, I'll need to pull one away from the group and isolate it. Then I can discombobulate it and capture it. But to do that"

Mary looked towards Midnight, who seemed to already understand her gaze. Midnight looked towards the reapers and said, "Make it quick. Gold will finish them off extremely quickly so hurry to the left, I'll help."

Mary giggled when she heard Midnight. She quickly ran towards the gate. At this moment, the battle was already about to begin. Gold was rushing towards the reapers as well. Midnight walked forwards and hummed. As she did, the reaper furthest from gold fell into a daze and it deviated its path from Gold and focused towards Mary who was running straight towards it.

"KUUU!"

A high pitched scream entered Alex's ears, changing his focus towards gold. A reaper, split in half by only his bare hands. He didn't even bat an eye towards the reaper. Gold threw the mutilated corpse of the reaper and sprinted towards the remaining reapers. Alex watched Gold continue to shred the reapers with his bare hands. Sometimes, he would bite and rip them apart with his mouth. Alex couldn't help but cringe his face to the thought of ripping apart a reaper with his mouth, it was something that no sane man could do.

Buster looked towards Alex, " He might be hot headed, but He is the best at what he does. Killing reapers like their nothing. His anger is also helpful but only in battle. There are two awakened in Japan who's power varies on their emotions. One is Gold, who gets angrier the longer the battle continues. As he gets angrier, His power increases. I've never seen him at his peak power but I will say, he is called as one of the most powerful Awakened for a reason."

"KUU!"

Another reaper's mutilated body gets thrown into the sky as if it was nothing. Alex couldn't help but look at gold in awe. He didn't expect Gold to be this powerful. 'If I were to battle even the weakest reaper there, I would lose in a second. My current powers are nothing compared to him.' Alex said as he felt a bit demotivated.

He then looked towards the prompt and shook his head, 'I shouldn't be discouraged, I can get stronger. I've already seen how powerful I can get when the system first activated that ability so I should be confident.'

Alex turned his attention towards Mary who already seemed to have lured the reaper far away from Gold. She seemed to stand still and watch the reaper run towards her. Before the reaper could attack her, Mary opened her mouth. As soon as she did, the reaper was pushed back. Mary quickly jumped to the reaper and kicked it's chin, knocking it out.
