faes though on the ground but was not injured all thanks to the clothing god gave her.
'it seems sturdy enough not to break until a dragon hit me' faes though still on the ground with her eyes closed was planning in her head. directly attacking the bear wont work as her strength was weaker in comparison to the bear. she have to sneak attack again like before but this time giving it her all.
"baby you enter mystic fog castle and come out after five minutes and then attack the bear with your magic until then i will try to bind it down" faes whispered to sky who was in her arms. when faes was falling she had taken sky in her hands shielding her from getting injured. sky though worried about her entered the space. faes gripped her sword tightly and remained motionless on the ground.
the bear saw the little human fall and not moving afterwards. it went near the human cautiously and slowly to see if it was dead or not. when he was near it saw that the human had her eyes closed and was not moving still the bear sniffed it sensing something wrong.
faes slowly opened her eyes once she sensed the bear above her and attacked its neck with her sword using her techniques first form.
"elemental laser" faes shouted as her sword glowed in four different colors and the four elements covered it increasing the strength of the attack.
surprised by the sudden attack the bear tried to get away but was still slower than faes. faes sword managed to hit its neck and the elemental layer expanded and increased the strength of the attack leaving a deep wound there before the bear jumped back. its neck was bleeding and it was growling in pain. faes got up and used her elemental bind again to bind the bear.
just as the bear was bond five minutes were over and sky came out of mystic fog castle. she had already prepared her attack and just as she appeared on ground near faes she sent the attack towards the bear.
two blades one of condensed air and other of a high temperature blue flame merged on the way and began rotating creating a disc of fire and air. it hit the wound on the bear's neck and managed to deepen the cut till the bone.
the bear let out another painful roar which was muffled by the water bubble. it was bleeding heavily now and was on the werge of death. it was furious that the human and newly born dragon were able to injure it till it was on the werge of death. suddenly it decided that if it was going to die it would take the attackers with it.
faes was waiting for the notification of the bears death when the bear went berserk and used its last energy to attack her breaking free from the bind . before faes can dodge the bear's claws were already swiping down towards her neck but due to faes fast actions she managed to dodge the hit but due to the bear going berserk she was still hit on her shoulder. the claws didn't managed to tear past the shirt but the blow was still heavy, faes was sent flying away and hit a tree falling on ground groaning.
even if the shirt protected her from deep cut wounds they didn't prevented the bruises or bones from the blow. faes was sure there will be deep bruises on her leg and shoulder along with a broken rib bone.
the bear didn't wait and was about to move to where faes was to attack her again when the fire and air blades that were circling moved and injured it further but it was still not enough to kill it.
faes took her sword and used her elemental laser again pointing the tip at the incoming bear which was about to hit sky
"elemental laser!" faes shouted as the four elements shot towards the bear and cut its head off finishing the berserk 'about to die' bear off making its body fall on the ground with a thud.
faes was still groaning on the ground and the sword fell from her hand due to her injury while sky who was scared from the bear's attack was trying to move towards her slowly taking small steps using her tiny paws. they were still weak not strong enough to walk but sky was trying her best but falling again and again. sky was also trying to talk to faes using her sweet little broken dragon language.
faes was still cursing and groaning as she noticed sky and got the notification of the bear's death and quest completing.
"i am fine baby the bear is also dead don't move i will be there in a minute." faes assured sky who was still complaining but didnt moved more.
faes felt the pain slowly fade away as her bone healed due to her fast healing. it would still take a few hours before it would heal completely but she should be able to move in a few minutes.
faes heard a 'ding' then the system's voice
[quest completed....
rewards gained]
[due to involvement of sky the exp will be equally divided among both]
faes felt that she was going to breakthrough along with sky due to the increase in exp. faes sat up still in pain and revolved her cultivation method just as a mana storm appeared
"baby use your cultivation method and break through don't worry about me i am fine just a few bruises that would heal soon" faes assured sky again in case she neglects her own breakthrough. setback during breakthrough can destroy one's cultivation and faes didn't wanted sky to destroy her cultivation so she put on a strong appearance for her little sister.
sky saw that faes was fine sitting and breaking through was relieved and focused on her own breakthrough. sky brokethrough knight establishment stage stage 3 skipping a stage directly while faes storm was still going on so she waited by the side for her sister.
faes focused on her cultivation method as the mana revolved in her body and around her. the storms while breaking through were becoming more violent as she went to higher cultivation levels but they were still not enough to destroy the area around faes. faes felt that the mana entering her body healed her rib but it was still painful, then it went to increase her cultivation level. faes also leveled up several stages and finally the storm stopped when she was knight establishment stage 5.
while breaking through faes concept comprehension towards qi also increased and made her understand it more. qi was like an energy which was present in every creature but they were not able to use it until they have an affinity to it or have a deep understanding towards it. while it seem like small particles to the begginers and like strands to someone they were actually just a form of energy flowing around without any shape. qi didn't give someone life but it gives power to them making them stronger and use it like magic particles.
qi was just another form of energy equivalent to magic particles that allow one to temper their body and use the dao of elements through it.
faes after understanding this opened her eyes. 'that was interesting' faes thought as she turned to sky and smiled. they actually managed to kill a legendary bear with just a few minor injuries, which could have been fatal if she didn't had god's given clothes. faes glanced up and thanked god before standing and picking up her sword and going to sky picking her up and holding her close checking her for any injuries.
when faes found that sky was fine she relaxed similarly sky was looking at faes with concerned eyes making faes feel warm in her heart. there was still someone who cared about her wellbeing.
faes assured sky again and as stored the body of bear away in her space. just as faes was going to put her sword in its sheath she sensed someone nearby. it was still half a mile away but was approaching speedily. alert faes took a defensive stance and held sky closer to her just as the person appeared in her line of sight.
