Survival To Godhood 67 A Robot?

Jira, still holding the babies, looked up and smiled upon seeing his master. "Master Zero, someone is fighting a snake north of here. I think he is going to need your help..." Jira pa.s.sed out after finis.h.i.+ng his sentence.

Channeling mana from the plants around himself, Master Zero gave the mana to Jira to help him. He walked northward to where he felt a lot of death elemental mana.

After walking about a mile, Master Zero arrived at the area of the battle. A man in a fur coat was pa.s.sed out on the ground surrounded by jaguars. The jaguars were in a defensive position stationed all around him.

An anaconda was facing the jaguars bloodied and on the verge of death. "That is weird neither the cat beast or snake is an earth elementist. It must be that...human on the ground." Zero interest was piqued. He never studied a human before.

The robot twirled its hand manipulating life mana around the snake. Vines erupted from the round and covered the beast. "May your life repair the forest you destroyed."

Slowly the roots dug into the snake beast. The vines dragged the anaconda underground, and it would never be seen again.

This all happened too suddenly and spooked the jaguars. They wanted to defend this new king but knew they would die too quickly. The leader let out a noise to signal the group to escape.

The robot-man walked over and picked up Leo. a.n.a.lyzing the man before him, he was curious why this human warrior had no arms and damaged eyes.

Master Zero carried Leo to Jira. He picked up both men and the sloths. Master Zero brought them all the way to his facility.

The night came and went. Jira eventually woke up and went to his master. "Master, thank you for helping me." The draconian bowed.

The machine always looked at Jira funny when he did these kinds of acts. The robot thought to himself, "is this what it means to be cherished." Master Zero went into deep thought while Jira continued to bow to his master.

Master Zero realized Jira's legs were twitching, and he snapped out of it. "Please stand up Jira. Go, check on the man that saved you. He looks like a wounded human."

"Human? He is human." Jira was lost in thought. How could a human be at the Mana Fighter level? He never heard of one. Jira shook his head. It didn't matter what race he was. The one thing his master taught him was all life is precious, and this life saved his.

Seeing his disciple not moving, Master Zero made the guess he was worried about the sloths too. "Don't worry Jira. The baby sloths are in my garden. They are perfectly fine." Master Zero tried to produce a smile knowing this calms people.

Seeing the weird smile, Jira said, "thank you, Master." He then headed to Leo's bedside. Jira looked down to see a muscular human male. Seeing both of his arms missing, Jira unknowingly stroked his own metal arm. He knew how it felt to lose your strength, your ability to feel things, and just basic stuff with your arm.

Jira walked back over to Master Zero as he was plugged into his s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Master Zero unplugged and looked at Jira. Jira was holding his arm, and he guessed what his disciple wanted to ask.

"Yes, Jira. I can make the human new arms. With time, I might be able to rebuild real arms fully. I told you before. I can rebuild your real arm also Jira."

Jira knew his master could rebuild his arm. His master had studied his body for the past two years and could easily do it. Jira didn't want a living arm. The automail arm, Master Zero built for him, makes Jira feel closer to his Master.

"Master, I like the arm I currently have," Jira said adamantly.

"Alright, I will build new arms for the human then. Don't bother me for the next four hours. Please, tend to the human and the garden, Jira." Master Zero walked into his s.h.i.+p, and the door closed behind him.

Jira finished in the garden and went to check on Leo. Leo was sitting up activating his mana to figure out where he was.

"Human, calm down. You are in a safe place." After the draconian said that he half expected the human to still freak out. All the human slaves he met, none were ever calm around us draconians.

Calmly Leo turned and looked at draconian. He couldn't really see him but felt his weight upon the ground and the mana coming off him. His pure white eyeb.a.l.l.s just stared at the Jira.

"h.e.l.lo, draconian. I'm called Leo. Thank you for taking care of me." Leo felt around for his coat. He threw it on his shoulders and stood up. "Please thank the man in the s.h.i.+p. I will be leaving now."

Jira was floored. This man was nothing like anyone he ever met. As he watched this blind man leave, Jira yelled out, "my master is building you new arms like mine."

Leo stopped in his tracks and felt the mana around the draconian. He felt the element of metal on the right side of his body. His master builds metallic arms.

"He also said, if you're patient he can heal your real arms."

Leo phantom pains could go away. He could touch again. Leo s.p.a.ced out thinking about having his arms still. Leo was tired of making ties with people. He was tired of losing people. If Leo stayed then, that meant he would get close to this master and disciple. That was something he did not want to happen.

"I will stay until your master can talk."

Master Zero walked out of the s.h.i.+p as he said that. "Do you wish to speak to me human?" The robot walked over with two metal arms in his hands and looked at the human.

Leo gauged the master before him but felt only the element of life and metal. Leo didn't know what to think and asked directly, "what are you?"

"Well by human standards of this earth, I think the word for me is a robot."

"A robot?"
