In total there were three of them. The attack injured two of them while one was able to evade the last minute. Seeing that he did some damage Mike didn't give the pack time to catch their breath.
Bang!
The attack sent the two weak ones flying while the still healthy one only took a few steps back. When it looked back and saw that its two companions were nowhere near to assist, it began to growl while retreating bit by back. When it confirmed that the attacker wasn't focused on it. It turned tail and escaped the scene.
"Well, that was a good workout. Now let's see if our new friend is doing well"
He went and entered the building the pack was closing in a moment ago. The moment he entered he saw a young man about his age, which is 16. He was surprised someone so young could be capable of taking down a Type 3 monster with the strength of type 4.
Soon his two companions walked in after hm. They too were surprised. Mike's hood had come off when he laid down on the ground.
"Hey, look, what is that thing he is wearing? The material is nothing I have never seen before. Even with the technology from 10 years back this material wasn't available."
Miley said as she ran her hand across Alex's clothing made of Chaos Energy. Unlike regular shadows. Chaos shadows were viscous . More malleable and can turn solid on command. Chaos is a state of possibility. Potential waiting to be made into something. So Alex's shadow was a recreation of something real, the shadow took a third dimensional physical form rather than just a second dimension texture less form.
And to make things more interesting is how the outfit appears as a night sky. There were twinkling stars all over the outfit,
"Perhaps it is a wearable treasure. I wonder which dimension he jumped into to get something like this. How durable is it and can it do attacks?"
With stars of fascination in his eye Mike looked at the entire outfit thinking how cool he would look if he were to wear one himself.
"That's his power, I saw him somehow copy the Shadow Lilicorn's power and use it as his own."
Both Mike and Miley quickly looked at Mildred like he was crazy.
"That doesn't look like any shadow I'm familiar with. And what kind of Mistica is he connected to?"
"Yes, what level is he to have that long duration use huh"
The pair had a hard time believing such abilities existed. The power used for such a long time, even when the user is unconscious to top it off it is overlaid on another power.
"I don't know if he has a connection to any dimensions. I don't feel any type of dimensional bond from him. In fact I even wonder if he is a Jumper at all"
Stroking his chin Mildred could help but wonder. When he walked closer, he felt his shoe step into something. Upon looking down, he saw a puddle of blood originating from the young man.
"Shit, Miley quickly, take the aid packs out from your spatial bag, He lost a lot of blood."
Miley and Mike, Looked at where Mildread was stepping, Miley's hand was already reaching on the pouch hanging on her hip, When they saw the puddle, it was then they remembered Mildered telling them about his injuries,
Quickly Miley took out a small box. Upon opening, there were some basic first aid kits. Scissors, bandages and some alcohol to clean the wound. She quickly went for the scissors and turned to Alex. She went straight to the bottom of his jacket. When she tried to cut it, they didn't budge. It was as if she was trying to cut soft steel.
"They can't cut this damn thing."
"Let me see if I can cut it"
Mildred took out an odachi from his storage pouch. Taking off the shith, the blade glimmered from the light outside, The long blade looked razor sharp and sturdy.
"Are you sure about this? The enchantment treasure used on that blade was given to use incase of emergency"
Miley asked, seeing Mildread activate the enchantment.
"This is an emergency, any time life is threated is an emergency even if you might not know the person. If he happens to be an enemy, I'll deal with him right here and right now"
Seeing the resolve in his eyes, Miley slightly nodded. When he got the go ahead, Mildread closed his eyes and focused his mind's eye on the paper enchantment treasure wrapped around the hilt.
Pshht!
It set ablaze, the fire quickly rushed to the blade and got absorbed right into the blade itself. In return the silver blade changed, turning orange. The temperature within the room rapidly increased as well. Mildread took the blade and drew a gentle light across Alex's torso. A few seconds later. The chaos shadow jacket opened right up to the sides before turning into a puff of smoke which dispensed into Alex's shadow.
"That's so cool"
"Enough looking, treat the wound"
When they turned him around. They saw his muscular body but on it were three clear scratches that had some discoloration on them. The infection wasn't bad but if they came here later it would have been a different story. Miley took out a clean cloth and poured some alcohol on it before cleaning the blood off his body,
"This is bad, we have to get him back to the settlement quickly, he has lost a lot of blood. He has an infection and his temperature is pretty high. HIs body is acting like it has never been outside before."
She looked at Mildread as she gave a report, She quickly dressed the wound. Mike took off his jacket and put it around him for warmth.
"This might be tricky but we have no choice. We will deal with it once we get there, Miley use use taboo space bubble and take us home"
With a head nod, she stood up and went outside. When she got to a place free of anything. She opened her arms like she's trying to hug the sun, bit by bit her hands were closing. As they closer to one another. There was a distortion in front of her in the form of a bubble, at first it was barely noticeable.
But by the passing moment the distortions became that much noticeable. By the time the bubble was the size of a beach ball, you could hardly see what was inside, a moment later she closed her hands together. She was out of breath, her clothing drenched in sweat and her skin pale; it was as though she was going to pass out any moment.
"Hurry up, I'm about to release it"
Mike came out holding Alex in his arms. When she saw that they were ready, Mildread came closed his eyes. Then turned her to a certain direction.
"Use 87,8 percent"
She nodded. The moment she threw the bubble, she almost fell. Mildread came in under her feet and proceeded to jump toward the bubble before it showed the direction, Mike also followed them nearby without missing a beat, The moment the bubble was fully dilated, what seemed to be a city within walls appeared on the other side of the bubble. Both Mike and Mildread jumped right in.
Pop!
The bubble didn't even last a second longer. Had the two been slowed they would have been left behind.
Aaaaaa!
A man looking at a far off mountain, bored of the scene. Day in and out, he was staring at that mountain. That forest, those trees. He once even counted the number of trees just out of boredom.
'I can probably draw this scene off the top of my head. Matter of fact I think I should come with some canvas and paints next time and get in touch with my artistic side"
Pop!
Suddenly a sound of bubble popping woke him up from his day dreaming. He saw kids jump out of a bubble.
'Jumpers!'
The first thought that came to his mind. He quickly straightened out. He saw that two of them were carrying two who seemed to be unconscious.
"Greetings Esteemed Jumpers, can I get your registrations please before you enter"
Sure x2
Both Mike and Milderead put their thumbs on the biometric scanner and Mildred took Miley's hand and also placed it on the scanner.
"Thank you Jumper, Mike and Mildread… Ahem, What about your friend in Jumper Mike's bio scans"
"About that, I'm afraid this individual here doesn't come from this settlement. He needs medical attention and finally I believe he is the subject of our mission"
When the guard head that, he looked at the injured Alex.
"Esteemed Jumper. Hope you will forgive me but I need to get my superior to come and assess the situation"
"No problem, Please do be quick about it, he had lost a considerable about of blood"
