《Since When did a Magical World Need Superpowers》Sixth Entry
Advertisement
To avoid the flare troll I did not try to fly back up the
canyon, instead I went around. While traveling through
the canyon I picked up many rare herbs, which could
only be found there.
Mana forest, Life blood, and Wake drop leaves. Mana forest was used to recharge mana. Life blood could heal
all wounds and cure any ailment. Wake drop leaves
stimulate the minds of the unconscious, which allows
them to get up and move once more.
I only have a small bag, and am only able to carry ten of
each herb. I come across a stone tablet, that seems to tell
the story of a legendary hero. A man whom fought against the god of death, in order to prevent the spread of a
certain illness from leaving his village. His sister was the
sole survivor of the illness and was almost at the end
of her life.
His actions saved his sister but he had to give up his own mortal life to the god of death in exchange for ridding the world of the illness once and for all.
The man is now a reaper of the death god.
Unlike the monsters, he saves souls when he is
able to, and can cure certain illness before they become
wide spread. He is a legendary hero, not because of what he did for his sister, but because of what he can now
do for mankind.
Humans no longer die in their thirties from illnesses. He is also the reason so many new herbs are given life. I think
the stone tablet has been brought her as a thank you for
these herbs, which I was currently harvesting until just
a little while ago.
I finally make it back to my village. My brother is standing at the entrance to our home.
“Took you long enough to return.”
He says to me with a bitter tone.
“I ran into some unforeseen trouble, but I am fine.”
I tell my brother.
I head to the local herbalist after that. I pace her the
Mana forest and Life blood. I am going to have her make me some potions. Mana blood, is the one that is
my highest priority.
Mana blood potions could be used to induce an auto
healing effect in the body. Mana forest supercharges your body with mana, and your mana is programmed by the
effects of Life blood to heal you. Healing magic gives the
same healing effect, but it is not continuous.
Mana blood potions last for about three hours after
consumption. You would think that is good
enough, however if you are knocked unconscious, you are at the mercy of monsters. Your body still heals but at a
slower rate, so you end up taking on more wounds than
you could heal at any one time. That is why I also had her make one Mana waking drop necklace.
I only had her make one because the effects could only be used for three days. The Wake drop leaves by themselves last longer, but could not be used if traveling alone
If I wanted these things made outside of the village, then
payment was needed. Thankfully our herbalist, loved
getting any chance to work with rare herbs.
I left after receiving what I wanted. My planes for the next day are a lot different than today. The next day I woke up early and headed to the highest mountain peak. I was
going to train my flying skills, not only that but afterwards
I was going to learn aerial combat.
Yes there are people like my brother whom fight monsters in the air using dragons and other tamed monsters, but I
was going to learn how actual aerial monsters fought.
I thought about the feeling of not wanting to go splat, then the piercing sensation from my shoulder blades began.
With that I began flapping my wings.
Rising to the sky, I waited for a pigeon to pass.
I then followed suit.
I choose the pigeon for now, because I did not want to put myself in an danger just yet. It rose and descended with
the wind currents. I did the same, copying what I could.
My body was a lot bigger than a pigeon. Following it
around for about two hours, I decided to find
another, faster bird to follow. I was in luck a crow game
with in my sight.
“Alright time to follow you now.” I whisper just under my breath. Since it is bigger it also glides more smoothly than the pigeon, opening its large wings. This helps me a lot as well because, I can now see how a bigger creature flies.
I now try to spread out my wings farther, it works. Crows being smart, it eventually notices me. I think to myself, well that is to bad. Instead of leaving, the crow challenges
me to a race. I take suit, trying to pace ahead of it.
Ducking under a tree branch, the crow uses it as a way to slow my movements. It does slow me down and the crow wins the race.
An Idea comes to my mind after that. I will use the tree
branches to help me dodge, and adjust my speed while
flying, as a form of training. I do this for a long
time afterwards.
I am able to now go over and under branches that are
about a foot away from one another, not only that, but
because some branches curve at certain directions, I am
now able to fly to the left and right as well.
I fly back to the mountain peak, in order to rest myself for a while. Being well rested I find a hawk and follow it for a short while.
Hawks seem to be a lot faster then crows, using the air
pressure from its wings, they propel themselves forwards.
I attempt this.
The first few times I rise higher in the air, instead of going forwards, but once I am able to do this, I try the branches again as a form of training, but this time
I go much faster, slamming my jaw against one of those
branches. “Man that hurt!” I yell out. Continuing this
until I am tired once more.
Back at the peak I decided it is finally time to learn to
fight. I silently follow a carnivorous parrot. It is fighting
with another male one over a mate. This is great because
they show me how to slash with their talons in the air.
I watch on carefully, they are now using their wings to cut one another. The fight is similar to watching the
pride tiger and mage wolf fight, but adjusting their aim using flight.
I watch many more monsters fight in the air.
First I will catch a pigeon, then a crow, and
finally a hawk. That is what I decided to do, before
fighting any aerial monsters.
Done with the hawk I headed to a nest of carnivorous
parrots. The mother flew straight to me, its talon coming
directly towards my face, I blocked with my left
claw, noticing it raised its sharp wings, I also blocked with my right claw this time.
I see its beak opening, I use my claws to turn my body
around, and fly away as fast as possible. Once I am a good distance away, I charge forward with my claws forwards
like a spear. I pierce through it, stopping its heart, it falls
to the ground.
My routine continues like this for several more hours.
Suddenly the sound of thunder is heard above
me, lightning shoots through me, I can not move. I begin
to fall to my doom.
Unlike last time I can not use my wings to save me.
I see tree branches passing me by. If only I could grab one I think. A pain similar to the one for my wings shoots
through my lower back. I grab the tree with my tail. Well
lucky for me my tail can still move. I think to my self.
“Wait tail!” I am barley able to say, being paralyzed everywhere but my tail.
