"Very well then... "
*swoosh!*
"Don't you dare!!!"
She suddenly shouted after noticing Hiro's movement. It was the total opposite of what she had expected to happen.
A large tail emerged from behind the giant head.
Protruded up and stretched towards Lizy's location at such a horrendous speed. The wind blistered all around the area as Saya's body swayed under the inertia force alone.
But then her eyes widened in horror and also desperation. Glimpsing the unflinching force of what we can call a large rock-like tail slamming from above towards Lizy's body.
"Stopp!!!! I take that back!!!!!"
She hysterically yelled as she limped towards Lizy with difficulty.
The time seemed to be still with the tail's movement slowed down in front of her eyes.
Slamming downward inch by inch with her eyes filled with dread.
She regretted it... challenging Hiro's words. If she didn't act like such a nova before then Lizy's life might not be in danger at all!.
All of these happened in the twinkling of one's eyes...
Her emotions were up and down like a roller coaster. And to the point that she might become crazy if she were to be pushed even more.
And then
*swoosh!*
*BOOM!*
The stagnant of time was ceased after.
With the billowing wind thundering by right in front of her. The dust was lifted and the trees were sunken into the ground. Cracked after and even reached her feet.
Her whole view was shrouded from the dust all around the place.
"NOOOO!!!!"
Tears gushed out from her eyes as she crawled forward into the dust. Storming her eyes here and there with her hand grasping forward into the unknown.
"This can't be happening... Lizy! Lizy!!??"
She murmured on her own. And to our ears, it sounded like a maniacal whisper. Her heart was desperate this time as she urged her weak body to crawl forward.
The dirt swathed her clothes from below...
And soon enough.
She finally reached the tree area.
"It seemed that your heart had deceived you once again little one"
Hiro's voice sounded from behind as Saya intently stared towards the intact body of Lizy right in front of her. Lying motionless without any injuries.
He had fooled her yet again. And also pushed her off of her high horse.
Time by time again. Using her heart to manipulate her emotions and also outcomes in life.
Now she finally understood it.
"Thank God... your still alive."
She slowly crawled closer to Lizy's body.
Hugged the unconscious friend of her as she grasped her arm tightly around.
*sniff*
*drips* *drips*
"It was my fault yet again... "
"I- I'm sorry... "
Her voice squeaked with her eyes teary. The water dripped from her face and finally trickled down onto Lizy's forehead.
" Now then... we should get to business"
Hiro gradually said...
And Saya. Twisting her gaze in anger... but then she quickly calmed herself seconds after.
Getting mad won't get her anything other than unnecessary problems.
She had already realized Hiro's ways of dealing with her. All of it was an emotional thrust... and that was one of the scariest things in this world.
Destroying a person... mentally...
"What is it that you want... "
She asked...
Even though her heart was reluctant to do so but then she needed to consider her friend's safety. Hiro's existence was like a walking catastrophe... don't take a chance!. Just comply for now...
"Simple... how do you learn magic spells for yourself?"
He asked in a curious tone. Surveying the surface level information first before proceeding to the next phase.
" We recorded it inside the scrolls for universal uses. But then there will be prices for it to be bought. Only alchemists can attach skills into scrolls"
" I see... well then give me all of your skills scrolls to me"
"This!?... alright"
She then directly snatched something from her bag that was dangling on her waist. Pulling out 3 rolls of scrolls that didn't seem to be fitting in size inside of it. It should be a space bag. Seemed useful!.
"I only have 3 scrolls on me. I'm not rich enough to buy more and these three "
She put that out for honesty. She was inclined to cooperate and that was a good thing for Hiro. No need to push this little girl mentality any longer!... well. Not now...
"Laid it in front of me. I wish to see... "
He ordered.
Hearing this.
Saya then began to walk forward sluggishly. It took some time for her to finally arrive on the lakeside since she had been tossed around too much before.
Spreading up the scrolls one by one and slowly retreated to the side after the task had been done.
"Hooo??"
Hiro's giant head lowered itself from above. Closing in towards the scrolls that had been laid on the ground with the cold emerald eyes glancing all over it.
" A fireball spell, a wind blade spell, and an earth spike spell. Interesting. "
'This should be the best start-up spells for me to learn and also as the base knowledge for me to comprehend. '
He mulled over for a second and then.
'System can these skills be integrated into my mind directly?'
Hiro asked expectantly.
'Ding, Yes host. Would the host like to integrate the skills?'
'Yes do it for me'
Having said that.
The scrolls on the ground instantly shone with a dazzling light on each one of them. Hovering up from the ground and then they began to dissolve into dots of light. Disappearing from his point of view... vanished completely.
"This... "
Saya exclaimed in horror.
To learn a certain spell from the scrolls. One needed to research it inch by inch first before performing it on a true scale chanting.
After doing so... then the process will be a successful one. The scrolls being dissolved into dots of light meant that the knowledge transfer was successful.
But then again!?.
He didn't even learn it by the process. It was a thunder flash directly into his mind.
Fully merged as if he had been experimenting with these spells for many years.
"Too horrible. Monsters are monsters after all"
She whispered secretly. Envying such talent for being able to grasp these skill methods in a short period.
-
After the skills had been packed inside his mind.
He then began to feel it and study it inside first.
And to his surprise! It felt as if he can easily chant these spells into a large-scale magic attack with his large amount of energy.
Just so you know. After Hiro had evolved into the corroded snake before. His strength was one step away from the Demi ancient level strength.
But then... in addition to the corroded energy nature and the new choice of species of evolution.
His strength ascended tremendously. Directly stepping into the realm of Ancient.
"Not bad... "
He said...
and then slowly shifted his gaze to the small human below. It was time to test a new "OTHER" thing.
