By the morning everyone from the Dungeon had gone back inside, the only ones outside were me, Ragnar, some of my Familiars, Sophia, and her Griffin who was named Aurora, looks like it was a female, something you wouldn’t notice from the appearance.
Sophia later told me that this was no ordinary Griffin, it was a variant race called the Wild Griffin.
This Griffin had the ability to use Aura in combat and use Ki for energy, so it was a monster feared by many Adventurers.
“Are you sure you’re ready for this already?” (I)
“Yes, I spent all night flying inside the Dungeon, Aurora has been patient teaching me little by little, but flying in a limited sky is difficult when we can’t see.” (Sophia)
“You’ve settled in quickly with your Familiar.” (I)
“Yeah, I didn’t think it would be that easy.” (Sophia)
“So let’s go, Ibuki has already gone ahead with Karina, Kira, and érica.” (I)
“Master, are you sure it was a good idea to ask Rakan to teach Ibuki that magic?” (Sophia)
“Many of us are able to fly somehow, so I thought I’d let everyone learn this magic, Ibuki is a genius for being able to learn in a few days and already be able to fly.” (I)
“She’s more of a talented monster, she learned to fly quickly using just her instinct like monsters normally do.” (Ragnar)
“This spell is also easy to learn as long as you meet the requirements.” (Ragnar)
The spell Ibuki learned is called elemental wings, this spell tries to recreate Fairy wings for mages to allow flying, this spell has requirements on the amount of Mana the mage has if the mage has any pure elements and is under the control of manna.
The spell itself is simple, but the requirements are a little difficult, besides it spends Mana continuously, so you need to have a large reserve of mana.
It seems that those who have a pure element are very rare, they are all called geniuses, but in the case of my group it is different, almost all of them have 1 or more pure elements, in the case of Ibuki his pure element is the shadows.
The others don’t need it, since érica and Karina have wings, Kira didn’t even need to learn any of that since she could fly riding on Byakko’s back who could fly being a Spirit.
Today we were leaving this holy land, I was going to Venon Stronghold City again to prepare myself before heading to the Poison Forest.
Everyone had already said goodbye to the Priests of the two islands, they even came to say goodbye to us, which was not good since there were Necromancers among them, Layla was fuming with anger that I wouldn’t let her kill any of them.
Since they arrived I had to keep an eye on her all the time or leave it to Freya who was the only person besides me that she listened to.
If I let this little Demon loose these Necromancers who are actually Priests of the Church of Death would all be dead.
Hinata who was sitting behind me waved at the people who were getting smaller and smaller on the floor, this little girl is still very attached to me, but at least she is less shy in front of other people.
The aerial ride was pleasant, I took the opportunity to fly slowly while giving Sophia some advice, it took an hour for her to be able to control her Griffin while flying, but this was only possible because of the Griffin’s intelligence that I noticed adapting to her master’s few.
After that we started accelerating, after hours we managed to get to where the others were, Ragnar was fast and the Griffin was also in Grade SSS, so he managed to keep up with Ragnar as he adjusted his speed not to leave the Griffin behind.
After reaching the girls I noticed Ibuki flying like he was dancing in the air, he was flying there in such a relaxed way as if he had always said wings.
As soon as she saw me Ibuki came flying towards me and even though I was trying to dodge she collided with me while hugging me then gave me a kiss on the mouth in front of everyone, something she doesn’t normally do, that must mean that she is really being avoided being able to fly.
I look at Ibuki’s back and see two wings made of dark energy enveloped in some sort of dark mist, I could tell it was made of pure elemental mana from the Shadow element.
Ibuki was happy to be able to fly, she looked like a kid heading out to the amusement park for the first time.
After finding them we all go together until dusk, it took five days to get out of this big lake, luckily there weren’t many monsters in these waters yet and so we were able to go straight without interruptions until we saw the edge of the big lake. ．
Right after coming out of the lake, several trap spells were activated around us, we were attacked with electric spheres, fire spears, wind blades, and a blast of dark energy where I could feel an energy full of malice.
I had noticed these things before, but I didn’t do anything about it, it wasn’t necessary.
Ragnar just flapped his mighty wings making these attacks spread out in different directions.
At that moment hundreds of chains made of a blue metal came from the ground trying to bind us, but instead, they were torn to pieces when the thunder came out of Byakko’s mouth hitting all these chains.
At that moment I realized that some kind of poison had been spread across the area, the poison seemed strong but it would be useless against me.
“< Air Collector >” (I)
I use a spell that shouldn’t even be used in combat to gather the air from around the area in the palm of my hand into a sphere made by a barrier of the wind element.
The surrounding air was sucked in by the spherical barrier in my hands, I could see some white clouds inside, but I also noticed that there were a lot of purple clouds.
“That’s a lot of poison…” (I)
Soon ten people appeared on top of the trees a little further on, at the moment that everyone turned to see these people, an attack came from our back, it was lightning bolts, dozens of them.
“Did you think something so simple would work for me?” (I)
