Chapter 140: Needing To Slow Down



Chapter 140: Needing To Slow Down

I continued with Healia at my side, but I wasn't paying attention to her, but I stuck to the words that she had said. 

I felt like I was holding the world upon my shoulders with this game, even though I knew that the other three idiots were having just as rough a time. We had made a plan, but they were only good if everything worked perfectly, but it didn't.

I needed to let that go and start living in the here and now, but that was hard for me. I constantly reminded myself about Lesha; though I knew she would never have that life again, it still scared me.

We were coming up to the waterfall now, and I let out a long breath and cleared my head. The last thing I wanted was to get lectured by Sylvia, so I needed to empty my mind of all

"You know that won't work, or have you forgotten already?" Sylvia, the elder Spirit, asked me, snapping me out of my daze, and I cursed.

She was a beautiful Nymph-like woman with long vine hair that created a dress for her. The Nature Spirit could read minds, and I was had.

I was already too close now, and Sylvia was sitting on the rock in the middle of the pond staring at me, so there was no walking away now. The trees started to rustle around me, and small spirits started to come out and move around both of our feet.

"There are so many of them here! They are much bigger than the ones we saw before, aren't they?" Healia asked me as she squatted down. 

"Yes, this one spends too much time around this one and gets the crystals she would get from killing the monsters on this island before we came. Saliva is one of many Elder spirits on this island, but she is the only one that will speak to me. The rest don't recognize any of us yet because we are too weak," I explained, and Healia nodded.

"So then you brought me here to pick one of these?" Healia asked as she caressed a Tiger Wind Spirit.

"No, she brought you here because she doesn't want to take me. I am looking for a strong partner, and I can see that you are not weak, but you have a long way to go. My name is Sylvia, and I am a Nature Spirit; and I can see your potential, but before I agree to anything, I would like to see you in action. Kiada, since you are so strong, why don't you give me a little demonstration?" Sylvia asked me, and I glared at her. 

"Why don't you just fight her or me?" I asked with gritted teeth. 

I was not in the mood for this Spirit's game.

"No, it's fine, I am not weakling, and I don't need a weapon to beat you. We could both use the exercise, so don't hold back; I want to see who is better," Healia taunted me, and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Fine, I will even give you a boost," I sneered and then pulled blood from her neck, making Healia's eyes burn red, and I burned Platelets.

Blood Steel Plate covered my body, and my shield formed in my left hand and my hammer of light in the right. The plate covered my face, and I rushed Healia as I burned Red Blood.

Healia threw up her hands, and a massive golden gate appeared made out of light.

"Golden Gate Barrier/Reirrab Etag Nedlog!" Healia called out.

I smashed into the barrier but only slightly cracked it with my Hammer of Light, so I pulled the elements out of me and poured them into the hammer. I swung at the gold barrier again and smashed it, but Healia had time to prepare, and I pulled my shield up barely in time.

"Golden Lance/Ecnal Nedlog!" Healia called out, and a massive lance of like smashed into my shield, cracking it.

I burned more Red, but Healie rushed me and was about to punch me in the chest, but stopped when Sylvia called out, thankfully.

"Enough! Very good, you are very fast, but you need to slow down to think a bit more. In a real fight, you would be seriously injured or dead if you would have continued," Sylvia explained, but Healia was frowning.

"I would have done it that hard," I said, taking the Mana from my armor that I had piled up in the center of it.

If Healia had hit me, she would have been blown back and maybe had her hand broken. It could have been anything in a real fight, and Healia assumed that she knew it all because she was a goddess and very strong, but I had already fought two of them.

"I didn't know you knew how to do that; when?" Healia asked me when she looked at my chest as I took the Mana back into me.

"There are many things that we don't know, and it is dangerous to ever assume that you know everything about an enemy. I have been working on some training when I stumbled on Sylvia, and she asked me to become her partner. I am not looking for a Nature Spirit right now, but I think that she would do really good with you," I explained, and Healia looked over at the glowing green woman on the rock.

"Would you be willing to take me as your partner?" Healia asked as she turned away from me and walked over to the edge of the pond.

"If you are willing to learn, then yes.  I can see you becoming something great in this world, and I would like to join you and finally leave this island," Sylvia explained as she walked from the rock across the water, reaching out a hand to Healia. 

I watched as the beautiful green Spirit absorbed into Healia and then carved the place that Draina prepared larger. Healia gasped, and then her eyes flashed green as Sylvia settled into her body.
