Walking through the inner woods of the Weyvn Forest nearing the borders of the Alferin Forest.
The party headed towards the E-tier section of the forest clearly demonstrating their prowess of being capable of fighting against such fierce monsters.
Aria complained of the hot weather as she sulked her way through the rustling sounds of leaves.
It was moments before when they walked into the Weyvn Forest that had laid different sections of danger levels categorized by the Super Power Association.
It was made through many years of foundation laying and information gathering by budding heroes that adventured out in the wilderness to gain experience of many generations.
They headed straight into the E-tier section of the forest, assured by its safety and their standard strength to survive because of the support from the United Aersia's government, a powerful military organization that is governed by the 12 Heroes of the 12 provinces leaders that each ruled a province under their leadership and protection.
They were assured in the reliance and trust in the power's of the 12 great Heroes.
As the government advocated heavily for the people to yearn for strength and help out one's country due to the increasing reality of war between monsters.
And the Weyvn Forest was an example of such nurturing.
The Weyvn Forest was a common graded field for beginners to start gaining experience because of its easier handled, weak monsters that laid surrounding the forest's outer border.
It was exactly because of that, many people go there for experience and that it was near the city's watch towers.
They were assured of their own safety by the obligation of the watch guards who were able to oversee the G-tier monsters that bordered near the city's high technological dome that covered the entirety of the city in its faint invisible state.
The people who still go out there know that although there might be help given to those G-tier sections of the Weyvn Forest.
Any further was on you casting a certain amount of death tolls each year by the Weyvn Forest.
People would still go there because if you just went with a party, and did your level of equally ranked monsters, you'll be fine.
If anything was to go wrong, the city would be informed and rescue would come quickly.
But that was barely a worry for most people now because of the advanced protection of the people they called SuperHeroes.
The Weyvn Forest was considered a grade red field because it was already cleared out by the SuperHeroes of any high leveled and dangerous monsters, only leaving behind weak ones to help nurture the future's generations of people.
A clear difference between the common usages of heroes and SuperHeroes was that although many people were considered heroes because of their help from clearing monsters, clearing small-time villains, and helping out the civilian population.
Famed SuperHeroes were the poster-boys and girls of a country's prosperity and vitality against high leveled monsters and beasts, including the uprising of a mysterious known evil organization that the public has no idea of its name, origin, or some of its members that have already created havoc throughout the years.
They were categorized differently with those having super powers but not on the tier-list of SuperHeroes were considered normal super users that just wanted to be closer to the dream job of all— a hero.
The SuperHeroes fought in the front-lines and had to participate in major battles against monster's clans that popped up throughout the new era of superpowers. They also had to deal with internal strife of supervillains and villains that embarked humanity's safety.
A clear difference in the levels that the both managed to help.
The SuperHeroes were so famous and highly respected, they made a tier list of SuperHeroes based on merit and popularity of strength.
They were similar to the celebrity tier lists that were formulated from Aria's old world.
Though in Gaia, they were categorized from A-tier to G-tier from all which only hold exactly 50 spots for each tier list making each one highly valuable for its position because it was made by the United Aersia's government on the executive decision by the first province leader, the Regal All-Seeing to make it more competitive for superheroes even rewarding them of exclusive privileges, and many more.
That was why the Weyvn Forest was a safe spot because of the competitive industry of SuperHeroes who vied for merit that every time there was a monster tide, groups of heroes orchestrated by the association would come and defeat it and ensure the safety of the city.
The closer it was to the inner woods of the Weyvn Forest would lay more dangerous monsters only categorized under E-tier monsters and lower because of the help of the SuperHeroes.
And that was where Aria and her party were heading at; the inner woods of the Weyvn Forest.
…
Aria hitch-hiked a ride with Min Xiu's water summoned spirit from another dimension excitedly, feeling the cool breath that swept her senses from being on top of a cold mammal.
It was a hot day with the humid temperature that was miles different from the Super Power Association air conditioned building to the sun glaring above them.
The water shaped dolphin appeared alongside the party, moving through the air like it was in the sea. It blew blue particles that sparkled around them like cold water that refreshed them and the area around them.
What a healing effect as the dolphin played around with Min Xiu.
There, the party sat on a large space within a saddle that laid on top of a dangerous blue sea dragon.
It was a large sea slug that was vibrant in varying blue colors.
Though its oceanic appearance doesn't seem all that frightening even opting for a mesmerizing allure, it was venomous and could knock out a grown man in seconds.
Animals who were as colorful as the vibrancy of life, were poisonous as they were more coruscating.
Though, Min Xiu warned them of the potential danger's he called Heldras had.
He worried them for nothing by saying that Heldras could manipulate his poison in his skin so those who accidentally touch him wouldn't immediately faint. There was plenty of time for the injured to go to Min Xiu to get the antidote.
But although Heldras has strong attack points, he was more for storage as a large saddle was laden on his back because he was able to fly and was great for long distance.
Min Xiu kindly let them on Heldras so they wouldn't walk all through the Weyvn Forest to go to the section that was further in the woods while also preserving their energy.
They also were serviced with great care from the elfin dolphin Min Xiu summoned out.
Just feeling the elfin dolphin's presence was able to rejuvenate them with it's healing effects.
"Wah— how is the elfin dolphin so powerful?"
"Yeah looking at it's beautiful oceanic appearance and life-like expressions, it must be a rare type of water spirit?"
Brooke looked with envy.
Liu Bei chimed in proudly clearly showing a close bond with Min Xiu, "Well, of course, summoners are rare and him specializing in the water-types.
His prospects are un-limitless as he is more in tune with the element making his potential high.
Mysom is just one of his many high ranked water spirits in his arsenal."
Him feeling embarrassed, Min Xiu just laughed it off as the party arrived at their destination.
They had officially entered the E-tier section of the Weyvn Forest, the party stopped briefly to let down some of the members to scout and look for any monsters ahead.
Before they got into the forest, they already set the jobs up for each person.
Brooke, who was in charge of scouting with Druin, both got out from the back of the saddle and moved in two different directions.
As they headed off, Heldras picked up his speed shortly afterwards when the leader, Braven, got from his communication stone that Brooke found a group of monsters.
The communication stone was attached to his A.I bracelet because normal technology would've interfered with monsters and alerted them through the waves that were sent off by calls.
The communication stone slotted within the bracelet was able to deter that from happening so with that confirmation, they headed towards Brooke's direction.
As Druin also started to make his way through, they arrived and spotted Brooke hiding behind a vast tall brush that covered herself from the Four Stripe Boars that huddled amongst themselves in the clearing.
The Four Stripe Boars were E-tier monsters that were large and similar in shape to pigs. They just had sharp tusks that hung down their mouths in difference and were relatively unaggressive boars that lived in groups.
They were the favorites of the E-tier super users to hunt because of the boar's head that was considered a delicacy.
However, since the collision of the formation of two worlds that made once animals turn into varying new evolution forms. It also made them smarter and receptive to more common sense.
The large group of Four Stripe Boars instantly turned their heads towards a large blue sea dragon and its bright color, the leader of the Four Stripes grunted.
They decided to not take any action but were just wary and putting their guards up, the leader did not know the foreign creature actually had harbor humans or else they would've reacted.
With super users hunting their kind, the Four Stripe Boars grew an unfriendly opposition against the humans so every time they did see humans they would attack them.
The party took full advantage of this as they quickly set in formation with Braven in the lead waving his spear with the flicker of his hand.
He dashed through the field until he was right in front of them. He swung his spear through a maneuver of techniques.
The boars cried in alarm as they started to charge towards the humans.
The mages who had already positioned themselves, started to attack as Liu Bei fired away an area of effect array of water spirals that hurdled towards the boars as it then froze their legs.
Briefly stunting them for a while, Braven knocked them down with his spear and killed them.
Angered at the fallen boars, the others broke free from the ice and charged at Braven.
Dodging the human's attacks, a shot of arrows flew from above, only managing to anger them further.
Their blood shot eyes grew more ferocious and at extra speed it soon caught up to Braven who tried to make quick jabbing stabs at them.
There were too many at once going after him. The situation seems precarious for him but with the appearance of Druin jumping out from a brush and severing a long vine.
He manipulated it to stab through the boars nearest to Braven and saved him from being harmed. The vine was left there in the grass soaked in boar's blood stranded and abandoned.
Braven quickly jumped out and thrusted his spear critically harming the boars in front and killing them with one blow.
Thanking Druin for his saving grace, he thanked him wholeheartedly because if not without him, who knows what would've happened to him.
Lui Bei and Min Xiu rushed towards them seeing how much of a precarious situation it could've gotten into and how careless they were. Liu Bei rushed to Braven seeing if he was okay.
Checking that they were fine, and they didn't need to spend health potions to quickly heal.
Brooke came out of her brush and apologetically cried that she didn't mean to accidentally aggrieved the boars.
"I- didn't mean to accidentally aggrieve the boars. I didn't know all the boars would go after him since he went to confront them. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shot those arrows."
Brooke lowered her head in sorrow.
Aria just grimaced in her head.
'Well, I just sat there so…' She sighed thinking of how useless her powers are against confronting monsters head on. She had panicked on what to do.
Generally the song books that are considered treasures are pieces of paper that hold the lyrics of a song that can increase the potency of an attribute to its fullest.
Usually though, the super users of singing can input weak effects of their attributes onto their voice even through humming a tune or belting out a random song.
Only the users of singing are able to channel the flow of music through their super power. These papers were basically useless to everybody that wasn't a singer.
And with its rarity, Aria was only able to owe one because of the rewards given through as the auxiliary youth tournament champion.
She had gotten herself the 28th piece of the, "Celestial Lilith Song Book," it entailing an enchanting song called, "Lily's Embrace."
It gave those hearing the allies of the super user the potency boost of dexterity also known as the society's normal to group a super user on its agility, balance, coordination and reflexes.
The song was able to boost all of these from what level the super user was at to a speed advantage against its enemies.
Though because it happened all so quickly she forgot to sing.
When she wanted to go in and help, the battle already ended. Her battle senses weren't good enough to see what type of attribute the party mainly needed, her brain circuit fried to bitter pieces and the battle was done.
She was really a useless pig teammate. ಠ ∩ ಠ
With everything being fine, Liu Bei couldn't help but chime at Brooke for his friend's safety.
While Aria was in her own world, Brooke lowered her head down apologetically swearing that she wouldn't do it again.
Braven casted it aside knowing that he was fine now and being the party leader he had to make sure the party wouldn't have any internal strife, he accepted her apology.
He then went to get the boar's loot to dismantle it and decide who's earning what, Druin stopped Braven in his tracks as he sharply gazed under his black cloak the trees shuffling in front of them.
The large bushes were shuffling with thunder noises when a large group of Four Stripe Boars appeared in front of them.
They gazed at the dead bodies of their fallen kins and squealed in anger.
They charged at the struck party who weren't expecting more trouble coming their way.
The party immediately went into battle stance as Aria gazed joyfully at the unfortunate part of this.
Although there were more boars than before, she decided that she would not be useless lest it harms the reputation of singers.
She closed behind the party, getting ready with her mic. She started to push it closer to her lips as she sang, "Lily's Embrace."
The members started feeling a warm embrace as the voice of hers enveloped her allies to gain speed boost the main focus of the attribute of Lily's Embrace.
She had also added other less influential effects under her learnt arsenal like mana recovery to aid her allies.
They dashed through the forest ready for an eventful adventure.
Heading straight in the fight was led by Braven with Druin closing behind, Lui Bei and Miu set camp near Aria with Brooke dashing zig zag across the field with her bows and arrows.
The large accompaniment of Four Stripe Boars charged towards them as the
boars trampled across the field of grasses of the Weyvn Forest.
Clashing sounds of steel and squeals of terror echoed that part of the forest.
