A loud swish resounded; like a ghost moving into the woods; Kendra ran at a speed that is barely visible in the eye.
Rapid Sprint, this is the name of the S-Tier skill that is a mix of earth and wind attribute that Kendra is augmenting. Using Augmentation magic formation to enhance the speed of her body with her wind affinity, and by decreasing her body mass with her earth affinity; Kendra's body became light as a feather.
Kendra isn't just simply decreasing her body weight; she is also simultaneously shifting the weight between her legs so as to not lose accuracy and balance; it will also lighten the load of the gravity pulling her down.
In addition to this; Kendra is Manifesting an invisible windshield in front of her to block all the wind and rain that would lessen her speed. While doing so, Kendra is also manipulating those winds behind her to push her back; this in turn, increases Kendra's speed even more in running.
As Kendra moves in a flash through the heavy rain in the wilderness of Greenfield; Kendra is also using her wind attribute to locate where the source of the sound of scream is coming from; she is using the wind attribute to spread her aura of awareness.
In return, it will bring back many different sounds to Kendra's ears; this A-Tier wind skill is called Echolocation; it works the same way with how Bats monsters would use sound to navigate their surroundings; the only difference is that Kendra doesn't need to emit a sound.
Kendra only needs to use Manifestation Magic to send out her wind attribute, and to spread these winds as far as Kendra could reach. At the time being, Kendra can only spread her aura of awareness for about five kilometres, which could be equal to six thousands of steps if Kendra is brisk walking.
This made Kendra track the scream accurately to the southwest part of the Greenfield, and this is what Kendra heard.
"HELP! AAAAHHHH!"
That's it.
But Kendra could vaguely sense the urgency, so Kendra moved even faster with Rapid Sprint. As soon as Kendra arrives at Southwest Greenfield; Kendra slows down her speed to stop accurately on where the voice is coming from. Kendra walks in a haste; standing on top of the boulder near the edge of the waterfall.
Kendra roamed her eyes around to locate where the person was, and from the top, it gave a clear view in Kendra's eyes.
Under the heavy rain; water gushing down heedless from where Kendra is standing, and on the base of the waterfall is a hand struggling to swim up on the surface of the savage rippling water.
Kendra narrowed her eyes; she didn't hesitate to dive down, swimming to the drowning student. Kendra applied Manifestation Magic to change the course of the water, using this course to push herself to the student and to also lessen the pressure of the water onto the student.
As Kendra swims her way near the student; the face of a familiar brunette hair and bright green eyes appeared in sight. Kendra knitted her brows seeing Faye slowly drowning deep down to the plunge of water. Hurriedly, Kendra grabs Faye's red coat collar, swimming up on the surface, and crawling to the mud near the edge of the stream.
The loud pitter pattering sound of rain echoed through Kendra's ears; she weakly lay her body down on the muddy ground as she breathed hard and heavy, feeling her heart beating loud from the sudden adrenaline rush in her system.
On the other hand, Faye chokes to herself, coughing out some water out of her mouth; she sat up as her chest heaved up and down, panting for air.
"*Cough, cough* Haaah, Kendra, haaah, thank you…you saved my life just now," Faye said in a weak voice; her reddened eyes stared at Kendra gratefully.
Kendra sat up as she shook her head. "Don't mention it. Anyway, what happened to you? How did you end up in this situation?" Kendra asked; her perfectly shaped brows were knitted together staring at Faye in distress.
If Kendra remembers correctly; Faye should know how to swim, so Kendra is a bit surprised that Faye ended up in such an agonizing situation.
Faye smiled as she sighed. "Well, I went here to the waterfall, so I could catch a water type monster for the ingredient required in our recipe."
"What were you trying to catch that you would end up drowning?" Kendra asked, bewildered.
Faye grinned at Kendra as she answered, "the Goliath Tigerfish, and I caught it! See these vines?"
Faye raised her hand showing the vines tied around her wrist. "It's connected to the Goliath Tigerfish. It's just that I was having a hard time to pull this fish monster out of the water, and earlier, when you found me. That was me, running out of air. But I couldn't swim up because the Goliath Tigerfish is swimming deeper down the water to purposely drown me!" Faye explained glaring at the water angrily.
Kendra sighed in relief; Kendra thought it was because she pulled the storm here in Greenfield that made Faye drown in the water. Still, that was a close one for Faye.
"That was dangerous Faye. You shouldn't risk your life just for that, you know," Kendra commented, staring at Faye in a reprimanding look.
"Don't worry, I got it all under control…*Aaacckk!*"
As soon as Faye stated that; Faye ended up being pulled down on the water again. Kendra blinks her eyes, taken aback. But soon, Kendra reacted as she dived back to the water.
Under the pool, Faye fights against the Goliath Tigerfish, a freshwater type monster that lives around rivers and streams; Goliath Tigerfish is a large silver colored fish monster that could grow as huge as a human, and they have fierce appearance and fierce personality. The bigger it is; the higher its level.
And what makes it hard to catch is how most of these fish type monsters manipulate the waterflow to their advantage. So most fish monsters are basically hard to catch, and this Goliath Tigerfish monster is a high-grade one that could manipulate the water course in one kilometre radius or equal to one thousand steps; it's probably why Faye is struggling against this one.
Seeing Faye struggling to swim back to the top of the surface again; Kendra used her water attribute mana to control the course of the water to Faye's advantage. [Serene course.] Kendra thought, manifesting her water affinity, trying to calm the savage course of the water under the pool. It's a C-tier skill, using the mana of her water affinity.
Meanwhile, [Windstrike! Windstrike!] Faye thought in her mind; she manifested a whip-like wind attack to the Goliath Tigerfish continuously.
The brunette haired girl repeatedly sent wind attacks to the Goliath Tigerfish monster on its fins and eyes to weaken it; she knows that the Goliath Tigerfish uses its fins to control the water course around them. Earlier,
Faye had observed that the Goliath Tigerfish could control the water course around it in a one kilometre radius. That's why Faye sends out wind attacks that would put pressure against its fins and blur the eyes of the Goliath Tigerfish monster.
On the other hand, Kendra used her water attribute to become a support for Faye's strategy, making the Goliath Tigerfish unable to retaliate against the two.
But of course, a high-grade mythic monster will not back down that easily either. The Goliath Tigerfish entered in a frenzy; the fish monster manifested the water course, creating a whirlpool under the water.
As a result, both Faye and Kendra got swept up by the whirlpool. The brunette haired girl tried to send more wind attacks, but the windstrike would only hit nothing because of the continuous movement of the water course.
Seeing this, Kendra manifested her water attribute. [Simmerdown!]
The mana against the mythic Goliath Tigerfish and Kendra's mana fought against each other, reigning over who would take control of the water course.
However, since Kendra hasn't differentiated yet, her mana is below against a mythic monster. In the end, the Goliath Tigerfish took control. But Kendra will not give up just like that.
This time, Kendra took a risk. [Boilingwater!]
The water in the pool started getting hot, making the Goliath Tigerfish restless. After all, the Goliath Tigerfish is quite sensitive against hit and fire. Meanwhile, Kendra did have a hard time, but she was fine as long as there was no flame in sight.
So at the heating water, it only felt lukewarm to both Kendra and Faye. While the Goliath Tigerfish felt like the insides were being cooked already.
Seeing this, Faye took that chance to launch an assault. [Windstrike!]
Together, Faye and Kendra helped each other to catch the Goliath Tigerfish.
