My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—
Chapter 128 Another Gate"How did you get here?!" She exclaimed.
Snapping back to her senses, she was more than a hundred percent sure that Satoshi was indeed right in front of her. Before Satoshi could react, she grabbed him by the cheeks and pinched it as hard as she could.
"Ouch~ what are you doing?" Satoshi had all the time in the world to dodge her hands but he didn't do so. He wondered why he didn't dodge.
"But... I didn't teleport you over here? Do you know of anyone who has a teleportation superpower like mine? No, I don't think so. My superpower is already rare as it is... if there is then you must be really lucky to find him or her."
"Let's talk about that later. We have a Gate to clear." Satoshi told her. "You can rest first if you want, I can handle these guys."
"Look at him getting all cocky after getting here. Go ahead then, I'll rest for a bit." Emma waved her hand. "I'll check if anyone's still alive over here."
Satoshi nodded before rushing towards the group of Golems that sprinted towards him. Riding on his Nailgun familiars once again, he zipped through the air while shooting nails at the Golems. It didn't look all that cool but Satoshi was feeling the wind. He didn't look back at Emma for fear that she might be staring at him with a disinterested expression on her face. All the while shooting nails at the Golems, he summoned his White Lion and transferred over there, letting the Nailguns float and at the same time calling out for his Lighter familiar to come out. Once again, Satoshi became a bulldozer, firing nails, lightning, and spires of flames at the same time. It was overkill for the Golems since they couldn't touch Satoshi at all while tanking heavy damage. Somehow, Satoshi felt pity for the Golems since they couldn't do anything, but after remembering that they annihilated an entire party of superheroes and almost drove Emma into a corner, his sympathy disappeared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne group after the other, Satoshi got rid of the Golems while maintaining his mobility. He was unstoppable, to say the least, but an inkling feeling gnawed at Satoshi since every Golem was too easy to defeat.

"How many of them?" Satoshi asked, making Emma flinch in surprise since he suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Only three," Emma simply responded. "I... it was my fault that they died."
"No, all of them would've died if it weren't for you."
Emma gulped before opening her mouth. She was about to say something but she decided not to. As for Satoshi, he briefly summoned Sera and told her to heal everyone who's still alive. Of course, there's only so much Sera can do without powering herself up and Satoshi didn't want to tire her out before the actual Dungeon Boss fight. Considering all that, Satoshi healed the three people just enough for their stability. After doing so, Satoshi then headed out once again to clash with the next groups of Golems.
If it were a normal party of superheroes, the amount of Golems coming at them would've overwhelmed them to the point that they tire themselves to death. That's exactly the reason why Golems are scary, they're too defensive that knocking one down would require a substantial amount of energy. As for Satoshi, he didn't have to worry about that since using his familiars doesn't require energy. Also, ever since Satoshi had his familiars, they never got exhausted no matter what happens. That's why he wasn't worried that they'd run out of energy.
The only thing he had to worry about was what happened during the second round of the Inter-High Tournament. He lost himself and merged with his summon, depleting his energy. He also felt his familiar energy get drained as well and who knows what could happen if it runs out of energy? Perish the thought of the worst-case scenario— that's why Satoshi didn't want that to happen again.
But then again, the only way for history not to repeat itself was for Satoshi to train that side of his superpower as well. If he doesn't then there's a huge chance that he'll run amok again. 'I guess I'll just ask dad about it later.' Satoshi said to himself.
The horde of Golems just kept getting larger and larger that Satoshi was wondering if there was an end to them. He had been fighting them for at least an hour now and he had killed hundreds of Golems but somehow, they were still coming by the droves. Emma wondered the same thing as well, but her mind was preoccupied with the fact that Satoshi just used some sort of powerful healing superpower on the three superheroes that were still alive. 'Is that kind of healing superpower normal in this world? Is that considered weak?' She asked herself since she was still ignorant of Earth.
Emma shook her head, inhaled, and exhaled a couple of times before mustering her courage to start assisting Satoshi once again. She started anticipating the attacks of Golems and placing portals there. She would then cut it off as soon as the foot or the arm of the Golem went through, cutting it in half and restricting the Golem's movements. It was mentioned before that the Golems that Satoshi fought moved like professional superheroes so they weren't your run-of-the-mill slow Golems. Some of them are faster than Satoshi, even.
Fortunately, Satoshi was mobile enough and his firepower rivaled the Golem's almost impenetrable defenses. Something doesn't right with the Golems though since there was no end to them.
"Wait a... wait a cursed second," Satoshi almost wanted to curse out loud but he bit his lips in frustration. After pondering for a few minutes about it, he finally realized that the reason why the Golems didn't dwindle in number was that they were, in fact, Golems. They were mere rocks formed by some sort of summoner that controlled them like puppets on strings. As soon as Satoshi looked at them that way, he realized that they were mere pawns, being controlled by a more powerful figure in the background. As of now, he doesn't know where the location of the summoner was, but with Dex with him, finding his whereabouts is as easy as doing a single push-up.
"Dex," Satoshi called out, before he could even finish his message, Dex immediately interrupted him.
"Northwest, by the single tree over there, Satoshi. It's the most obvious hideout there is and that's probably why he chose to hide there." Dex explained.
"Thanks, Dex. I owe you yet another one," Satoshi said to Dex with a grin before Dex disappeared right in front of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout further ado, Satoshi weaved his way through all the Golems and eliminated a few of them at the same time. Even though he didn't need to, he found the thrill of knocking a couple of Golems to oblivion quite amusing.
It didn't even take one minute before he arrived at the lone tree that stood in the scenery less background. He shot spires of flames with his Lighter and burned the tree to the ground.
Uwahhhhhhh~~~
A long terrifying moan came out of the tree as if hundreds of wolves howled at the same time. Satoshi stepped back a little bit and braced himself, trying to figure out what would come out of the tree.
And then, a faceless entity emerged from the tree, with white and red flowy robes and hands that resembled that of a half-rotten corpse. Two violet glints of light flashed from the faceless hood part of the robe. Satoshi assumed it was the summoner's eyes so he locked gazes with him.
"You know... because you and I... you and I are the same." The summoner wailed before reaching out his hand and summoning a couple of dragon-like monsters twice the size of the White Lion. And then, two phantom-like blue tigers appeared on the side of the summoner, not to mention the giant phoenix-like bird that appeared behind it. It was obvious that the summoner was trying to intimidate Satoshi.
Satoshi didn't know what to do since he could sense that his familiars were much weaker than the familiars that the summoner have. He still didn't back down though and he summoned Sera and Ghast, hoping that they would be enough to keep the summoner in check.
"Potentially powerful... but not powerful enough... you won't last, summoner." The summoner said before unleashing his summons.
"Try me," Satoshi stood up to the challenge with a forced smile on his face.
