I Will Kill The Author

Chapter 215 Time To Get A New Ally [2]



It has been four days since the Flag match.

During this time, all I have been doing is training relentlessly with my master day in and day out.

I have also learned two new ways to use the Mirage Walk, and let me tell you, it is an even cooler technique than I initially thought it was!

Aside from distorting the air and creating multiple illusions of myself, I can now use it to perform other tasks.

For example, I can render myself completely invisible by distorting the air to create a camouflage around me.

I can also use the Mirage Walk to change my appearance and turn into someone else. 

The second application is actually quite challenging to execute, however.

Why? Well, because it requires my utmost concentration. So while I’m using that, I can’t use any other spells or techniques.

Nevertheless, I have to admit that the Mirage Walk is so cool! I’m glad I chose this technique over that Air Walking one.

But I want to learn that one as well. 

Hmm, I guess I’ll emotionally guilt trip master into teaching me that too, just like I did to learn the other applications of the Mirage Walk.

Hehe~

“Krieek~!!”

Just as I was lost deep in my thoughts, a loud yet melodious chirping of a bird shook me awake.

It’s been five days since I was able to spend time with Sera so now when I’m finally back home, she’s not leaving my side.

Right now, she’s sitting on my right shoulder as I’m feeding her berries while sitting cross-legged and cultivating mana.

Sera is pretty smart, by the way.

I showed her where I was keeping her food and she fed herself whenever I was out and she was hungry during these past five days.

After all, it is said that Dragons and Phoenixes were once the most intelligent beings before their extinction.

She has also grown quite a bit, by the way. 

She’s half the size of my arm now. And yes, she’s getting heavy. My shoulder is starting to ache but she won’t budge.

Haa~

“Krieeek~”

Meh, whatever. I’ll let it slide since she’s too adorable.

“Arghh!” 

A groan escaped my lips as I continued to imbue layer upon layer of mana over the mana core in order to compress it.

It stung, but it wasn’t as painful as before since my potential had already spiked up to the Mythical rank.

Thanks to that, my cultivation speed has also increased.

Since I was already on the verge of breaking through Bronze 2 before, I managed to get my rank up to Bronze 3 easily.

So for the past fifteen hours, I’ve been continuously trying to break through the Bronze tier.

And right now, I was just about to achieve my goal.

“Kriek?” Sensing my discomfort, Sera gently prodded my cheek with her beak.

“Mhmm,” I hummed softly, assuring her that I was fine, even as I maintained my focus on compressing my mana core.

“Anghaaa!” Finally, with a low pained groan, I broke through the bronze rank, and a sense of relief washed over me.

Sweat drenched my body, and my lips quivered ever so slightly. 

My heart raced, and my breathing was ragged as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

“Haaa! Haaa!” I took a few deep breaths, gradually calming my pounding heart and restoring my breathing to a steady rhythm.

“Kriek! Kriek!” Sera persistently pecked at my cheeks in worry until I finally patted her head.

As my senses became clear once again, I couldn’t help but notice the changes in my body.

Rising to my feet, I immediately realized that I felt incredibly light. I also felt a surge of strength in my veins.

My vision and hearing were sharpened to a remarkable extent. Intrigued, I decided to quickly check my status.

===========

Okay, my stats look good now. Finally, it seems like I’m a main character not just a side villain.

Phew~

I also have enough Edit Points. 

I’m going to get more of them soon anyway, so I should be good with this much for the time being.

However, one thing that took most of my attention was that…

Garrr—!

My stomach was rumbling loudly due to hunger.

“Ah, I should get something to eat first,” I decided aloud.

It was only natural, considering I hadn’t eaten anything in the past fifteen hours.

Tring—!!

But before I could even take a step towards the kitchen, my smart bracelet rang. It was a text notification.

Frowning, I tapped on my smart bracelet and unlocked it. As soon as I did that, a holographic text message screen popped out in front of me.𝒏𝒐𝒱𝔢𝑙𝓝𝑒xt.𝐜𝑶𝔪

And just as I read the text’s content, a smile plastered on my face. It was a text from Kai.

===

Hello, Lucas Morningstar. 

I think we both know that we have a chat due. Come to this location alone in twenty minutes. 

Don’t bring anyone else with you, and don’t try to act smart… or else.

===

Along with the text message, a map location was pinned.

“Hahaha!” I couldn’t help myself as a short chuckle escaped my lips. 

Just as I had predicted, it’s time to get some Edit Points and a brand-new pawn– ally.
