While Clover continued admiring the "sea," he exclaimed. Above him were countless branches of trees; the body was thicker than any other tree trunk Clover had seen in his jungle life. Furthermore, fruits could be seen to have just given birth and were still fully green.
It's a pity that Clover didn't witness this sight. The green fruit was still the size of a ball, while countless colossal branches slithered inside the crown of trees, made by leaves comparable to human size and allowing a slight opening of sunlight. It was a pity indeed that he missed this sight.
It was not long after one breath passed. Clover finally began falling to the ground. He immediately looked beneath him, and that's when he noticed how high he was floating from the atmosphere. He choked in a cold breath, while his heart palpated at a faster rate. His body turned cold, affected by the cold atmosphere.
He clenched his fist so hard that his hand turned crimson, and his muscles became tense. His mind was looping possible scenarios that would happen in the near future, but most of them were his death!
It was not long before the loop finally gave him a chance to survive, and one of them was to use the rapier sword in his hand as a way to slow down his fall. He acted immediately when his mind finally turn reality, as his eyes regained their clarity.
He turned his body forward to the trunk, which almost covered his vision to the other side, and used his two hands to firmly gripped the hilt and stabbed it; in front of him.
Swoosh! Pierce!
The rapier sword's edges part – clutch towards the tree trunk, but its edges were the weaker part of the body since the edges were so thin to support the piercing power of the point. However, it was steady as it was as if a boat was calm despite the raging storm on the sea!
Screech!
The rapier sword made a screeching sound as it continued using the tree's trunk as a way to slow down the owner's fall, yet it was not long before the rapier sword couldn't hold it anymore. The tree was so dense than the rough diamond, which caused the rapier sword's performance to come to a halt before it was retracted after the owner's falling.
"Sigh! How can I forget to keep reminding myself about not putting myself in danger?!" Clover shouted to ease the terror in his heart.
He added, "Sigh; let's forget about it. I'm pretty sure my luck isn't yet dry. Let's focus on what will save me now."
1.2 km…. 900 meters…. 450 meters….
The ground was already visible in his sight, yet Clover was already covered with a bucket of sweat. He was wondering if his luck was already dried out, and now the karma was taking its effect.
Although Clover was thinking of that, it was for his mind to calm down since he needed a tool to use as a way to calm his emotion down. Only positive thoughts could have a positive mood.
"Almost..." He said, while his eyes were wide awake and his pupil stayed in one direction. To the roots! Since the tree's main stem: from the root to the crown of trees hasn't had the same size in diameter. He was taking advantage of the foot of the tree connecting to the roots!
Although through the speed he was descending. A higher probability that the bone on his legs would be broken and couldn't absorb the impact, but he had no choice but to gamble.
Nonetheless, by the time he was about to act on it. A strong gust of wind suddenly smacked at him, which caused him to fall in another direction. The rapier sword – while in the middle of flying, falls beneath the tree, and at the same time, he lands a hundred meters away from it.
He continued to stumble to the ground before halting. His head was upside down, while his butts facing the sky. It was awkward, and if anyone witnesses this. It was hard to stomach the pleasure of laughing from seeing Clover's position.
Clover didn't move before three breaths of time passed, and he hopped over before standing with a dumbfounded expression.
Is what I said true? That my luck hadn't dried up yet, and maybe that's why a phenomenon beyond my understanding saved me.
His imagination ran rampant, as he couldn't believe such a thing existed. Luck does play the part of a man reaching greater height, or so he claimed.
While his thoughts continued to run wild, a cold, emotionless voice interrupted him.
[Congratulations, host for acquiring your new technique. Please name it to be recorded! Thank you.]
God's Record finally contacted him, and the statements sounded polite, but her voice confirmed otherwise.
"Hmmm… I suck at naming but I will try my best to sound it cool. Hmmm…" Clover lowered his head, as his hand pinched his chin. He contemplated thoroughly; what he should name for his new technique.
Furthermore, his new technique was his trump card, aside from the other one. Since it was only functional for his five flying knives, but now that it turned into four, he couldn't perform it. So he planned to ask God's Record later on if he could modify it to be used by his rapier sword.
"Hmmm… Given the speed, I achieved it when I perform it. I feel like the flash in a character movie. I could use 'Flash Pierce' named but it sounds cringe. In addition, I didn't pierce but instead slash. So it was a no-no for me to use that name. What should I name it, then?" He muttered as he thoroughly contemplated what name he should use for the technique.
He couldn't add the name 'Pierce', since if he was in the middle of performing the technique, he could slash and pierce with his rapier sword. Although a rapier sword's specialty was thrust since the blade was lengthy and made for piercing.
However, the middle body of the rapier sword had a true edge and could be used for slashing. That's why he used the slash instead of piercing the branch since the branch in diameter was as thick as the tree he found everywhere except before him.
Five minutes passed, yet Clover stands still and didn't make a move, and instead, his mind wandered to what he should name his new technique. It was not long before his head tilted upward, and his eyes turned wide.
"Flash Drive!" He exclaimed with his mouth turned wide. However, his expression suddenly turned disgusted, and he cringed when he roared the name.
"No! It sounds stupid and cringe!
Furthermore, that name was a name used for a device that stored and transferred it to an electronic device."
His body quivered uncontrollably, just having the thought of muttering that name when he performed it. In addition, that name was a name of a thing commonly used in modern times, so it sounds stupid to use it as a name for his technique. However, God's Record took it seriously and recorded the name.
[Flash Drive recorded!]
[Congratulations, host for naming your new technique!]
[Please open God's Record feature for you have so many new notifications that I wouldn't bother reminding you, Thank you for your understanding, host!]
Clover's expression turned dumbfounded while God's Record voice permeated inside his head.
