《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 22: How Did You Do It!
Advertisement
"Brother, no problem, right? Why does this Silkworm Baby look a bit tricky?"
The short man's Little Ground Wolf was hit and sent flying out twice, so it already affected his psychology.
"Hmph, in this month, for a sprite just contracted for one to two months to have such performance is pretty good indeed, but that's it… They're just a bunch of chicks who've never seen blood, after all."
The Wood Mantis didn't attack immediately. It had also used a lot of physical strength, dealing with several sprites in one go. It was looking for a good moment to attack.
The tall man was estimating the time.
The Green-Peak Mountain was a bit remote, but they still had to leave within five minutes. Otherwise, it was unknown what official Sprite Trainers might be near.
However strong the Wood Mantis was, it was completely vulnerable at the face of entry-level sprites.
Silkworm Baby didn't allow its opponent to rest, as it rushed up, gurgling.
The rounded body actually had an aura even more ferocious than the Little Stone Elephant.
The tall man ordered, "Bypass it, attack from the side."
The Wood Mantis's figure went around to the side, and just like it did with Little Stone Elephant, its forelimbs slashed down.
However, Silkworm Baby was much more agile than Little Stone Elephant!
Instantly, it made a sharp turn and struck right before the Wood Mantis's tibia fell.
Bang!
The Wood Mantis' small body flew out with the hit, banging right onto the tree trunk and continuously making the entire tree shake.
Without needing an order, Silkworm Baby understood the need to take advantage of the moment to pursue the enemy. It didn't give the Wood Mantis a chance.
The tall man burst out, "Body Facade!!"
The Wood Mantis's figure swayed and became a little fuzzy.
Bang!
Silkworm Baby hit it straight up, but the Wood Mantis' figure was broken like bubbles.
It braked urgently, but still slammed onto the tree trunk.
At that moment, the Wood Mantis sprang from the nearby grass, and on its blade-like front legs, there was a burst of emerald green light.

It suddenly sped up, making the sound of wind!
It was the unique skill—Slashing!
"On the left, dodge!"
Silkworm Baby shook and rolled backward onto the right without looking back.
Slash!
The green tibia slashed across, leaving a scratch nearly one meter long on the muddy ground.
Not far away, two non-academic Sprite Trainers drew a cold breath.
If the Wood Mantis had used this skill, their sprites would have long died.
The kind that couldn't be rescued.
They were extremely nervous.
The Wood Mantis turned around. Behind it, two translucent wings quivered slightly, its feet, constantly speeding up. Then, it left the ground slightly, and its whole body flew close to the ground.
Its tibiae continued slashing swiftly!
Silkworm Baby's speed was not as fast as the Wood Mantis', but it started running quickly.
Around its body, countless light green light dots gathered, and by using the acceleration from Charging, it dodged the Wood Mantis' attack again.
Su Hao concentrated, as with the slightest bit of error, Silkworm Baby would be slashed. He could only see the dark green figure constantly flying.
With Wood Mantis' sharp forelimbs and its speed momentum, Silkworm Baby's little bit of protection from Charging wasn't much resistance.
The tall man's mouth slightly curved into a smile.
How long can this Silkworm Baby's Charging last? How long can its spiritual force last? In comparison, my Wood Mantis has the initiative in the fight, and it consumes less!
The situation was in his favor!
"Here's the opportunity, use Slashing!"
The Wood Mantis flew around to one side behind Silkworm Baby, and chased after Silkworm Baby, which was charging.
Its forelimbs glowed in emerald green again.
A pair of eyes fixed on the fleshy light yellow body.
"It's no good!"
Hundreds of meters away, up in the mountain woods, a middle-aged man wearing a green vest frowned. "The defects of the skill Charging is obvious: its lack of agility. And now that Wood Mantis figured out Silkworm Baby's track of Charging. Once the Slashing falls, Silkworm Baby, which can barely make a turn, definitely can't dodge it.

"Unless it stops Charging and releases this moment, in which case with the agility of this Silkworm Baby, it might be able to avoid this hit.
"But that's just a slower death. The Wood Mantis will give Silkworm Baby no more opportunity to Charge. The difference is just being able to struggle a while longer."
As he spoke, he shook his head. "It's only October, for the sprite of a third-grade high-schooler to do this, it's already excellent. Old Pan, time to attack."
Another middle-aged man in a green vest spoke, "Wait for a moment. That boy is still very calm. Maybe he has some hidden plan."
He added, "My Leaf Blade Warrior is watching over, there's no danger. This kind of real battle of life and death is hard to come by, and maybe our An City can produce a real Sprite Trainer genius this year."
Both of them were official Sprite Trainers from the Association of Sprite Trainers in An City.
They had happened to find traces of clues about the two wanted criminals not long ago and tracked them here.
Thus, they saw a battle that surprised them a little.
Not far from the middle-aged man Old Pan, stood a green lizard standing upright, about the height of a human.
Leaf Blade Warrior was the evolved form of Leaf Blade Lizard.
Its sharp eyes were fixed on the space underneath. It was ready to move at any moment.
…
The wind blew past, and the ends of Su Hao's hair moved.
His eyes didn't even blink. He saw the dark green figure approaching Silkworm Baby and prepared to attack.
"Right now, use that skill!"
Silkworm Baby's momentum for Charging suddenly dissipated, and without the spiritual force that wrapped its body to charge in a straight line, it deftly moved to the side. Hence, it dodged the Wood Mantis' Slashing in a really dangerous manner.
The Wood Mantis turned quickly and dashed again.
"Gurgle!!!!"
Silkworm Baby made a Roar, and waves of ripples invisible to the naked eye spread.
The Wood Mantis's movement paused, and its forelimbs inevitably trembled.
In an instant, the countless light green light dots scattered around quickly and gathered again.
Silkworm Baby was shrouded in the misty greenery. Without accelerating, its whole body rushed out like a cannonball.
Bang!
Wood Mantis was thrown up high, letting out a painful cry. Its forelegs, wings, and even the entire body were twisted from the hit.
After being thrown up high, the Wood Mantis was smashed forcefully to the ground.
It struggled and couldn't get up.
It looked up, and a light-yellow, chubby body was constantly enlarged in its field of vision.
Bang!
Silkworm Baby, which had leaped up high and descended from the sky, dropped down right onto the Wood Mantis.
It used its increasingly fatter body and heavier weight and smashed the small-bodied Wood Mantis solidly. Unsurprisingly, the Wood Mantis fainted.
Smoke and dust moved in the air.
Su Hao looked at the two wanted criminals.
"It's ended."
…
"What! It's impossible!"
The man in green vest widened his eyes, looking at the Silkworm Baby, which had released its Charging momentum, and then without any signs, suddenly smashed the Wood Mantis.
His eyes were filled with shock.
"The skill Charging clearly needed gaining momentum, and there must be significant speed before this unique skill can be applied! What's up with this Silkworm Baby!?"
"It probably didn't release its momentum completely, which is equivalent to forcing a sudden stop for a period of time during the charge."
Old Pan spoke, and his expression was similarly shocked. "If you want to ask how that Silkworm Baby accomplished that, you should rather ask how that third-grade high-schooler managed to devise this trick. He's just a Sprite Trainer Intern!"
"Can it be that he's the disciple of a certain sect? Old Pan, do you think we can devise similar improvements based on this line of thinking?"
"You're dreaming! If improvements of unique skills are so easily imitated, they wouldn't become the hallmarks of those sects and high-level Sprite Trainers!"
"Alright."

Losian
It's been a while hasn't it? Since I disappeared. Sorry this couldn't be under better circumstances, but let's just agree that it's better late than never. I've been finding my way back since then, traveling across worlds of magic, science, even eldritch locations. I've seen things you wouldn't believe, and some I'd prefer you didn't. I'll tell you everything, even what I became in the dark. A long, long time ago, hahah... Never mind. Let's just start. My intention is to explore every. single. world I can think of from scifi to high fantasy, hopefully forming an overarching storyline along the way. I hope to be able to explore most of the settings, most of the tropes, and play with them in multiple different ways. However, this also means that many of the tags will only apply for specific sections of the story... As the first arc is now completed, chapter titles will be slowly edited to include the world involved, and then any relevant tags. Also exists on wordpress here, will update both sides simultaneously. Constructive criticism welcome and much appreciated. 20/3/2018.

The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g

Alternate Worlds
This is actually a group of short stories I did some time ago. The first group are 3 stories, all starring the same Protagonist but with different foes and ways of how the stories play out. Past this I have other story lines that I have done this with and will likely use this heading to put them out there. - Note: The Book Picture is the location of the Portal the car went through. There are 4 such statues set across from each other and then two of the large pillars, set across the street from one another. New Story Line: Lost is about a man lost in a world that Used to have summoned hero's, ones where the mages who did the summonings did not close the pathways properly, so sometimes people from all across time, space, and dimension end up falling in to their world. Some become heroes, some 'Demon Lords' and some something else. I have 3 versions of this story which I will put here, one chapter a day. 2cd version was massively flawed, which I only realized while sharing it. As such I am skipping it and moving on to the 3rd version. The 3rd Story of Lost is about a man who mysteriously fell in to a world based on video games, complete with leveled zones, levels of skills, professions and so forth. Being from a world like ours, with the knowledge of these things, gives him a decided edge and better potential than normal. --------------------------------------- New story - New Life, Old Soul is the story of a man who used desperate experimental magic to grant himself a new life in a new world. This is an Iseki story with a single twist as no outside force dropped or summoned this soul to its new life. Come and see what sort of world and life this willing traveler of Realities unknown experiences. I will try and post once a day, though times may vary depending on my the wierdness that is my life. ^-^ ------------------------------ Cosmic Chaos A Void Maker tried to destroy several realities, by forcing their crystal shells in to each other. The AOs of those realms fought back the best they could, including a desperate play of opening random portals between the divergent universes and the void. Several things, peoples, and animals fell through these portals. In the grand scheme of things very little of this had long reaching consequences. However, Some of these universes gained new time lines from these events.This is a story of one such event, of one very lost traveler dropped in to a very different world than the one he came from. Tags: Isekai, Gender Change (Male to Female), Magic, Drama (lets face it most of my stories have a bit of this in them even when I don't tag them thus, though I don't know how 'Realistic' the characters are.) -------------------------------
