Chapter 40 - Wind Dragon Part 1

As Jessica walks through the grand halls of her family's mansion, the cool breeze that flows through the open windows moves her hair. Jessica's family has always been known for their exceptional control over the wind element, and she inherited this gift as well.

She was born with the blessing of Wind manipulation. Seeing this powerful blessing Jessica's grandfather the Wind dragon devoted his life to training Jessica on how to be the next Wind dragon.

While she was young Jessica was allowed to play and explore the town her family owns, but once she reached the age of 10 her grandfather came to her and said "Let's head out to the Wind Island dungeon for the start of your training" her grandfather says as she follows him Jessica follows her grandfather through the grand halls and out into the courtyard, where a large ship awaits Them. The sails are billowing with wind, ready to take them to the Wind Island dungeon.

As she steps onto the ship, she feel the cool breeze against her skin. Jessica's grandfather helps her climb up to the deck where he points to the horizon. "There it is, my dear. The Wind Island dungeon awaits us."

They arrive in the dungeon and travel through the entrance.

As they step through the entrance, they find themselves in a vast, open land filled with floating islands. The wind here is strong and constant, whistling past their ears and tugging at their clothes. Her grandfather leads the way, his long white beard fluttering in the breeze.

They travel to the edge of the starting island and as they look across the horizon a Giant Wind Snake flys across the sky with great speed.

"That is the strongest monster on this floor, I'll show you how to beat it when you get stronger" Jessica's grandfather says as he walks away stepping on air like it was a staircase.

Jessica looks around and sees all of the islands and the little critters that live on the many islands. "How would one cross to the next island" she says to herself.

She sits and meditates in this environment as it's full of wind elements, often meditation in wind element rich environments sometimes leads to rapid growth and increased strength.

Jessica's grandfather designed a method to absorb and strengthen their bodies using the wind elements in the surroundings.

She starts to meditate and slowly the surrounding winds calm down as the wind elements slowly flow into Jessica.

"Ding… Wind elements absorbed has reached new hightes. All Wind element blessings have increased by 1 and speed stat has increased by +50"

"This method seams super slow but stable, I'll only do this when I reach a standstill" Jessica thinks to herself.

Since she can't move foward in the dungeon she continues to meditate and absorb wind elements.

Jessica spends a few minutes practicing her wind manipulation and finds that she can float and move herself for bout 3 seconds.

"Not yet strong enough to get to the next island, but could be worse" she speaks to herself.

Suddenly a crab like monster appears as it crawls from the bottom of the island. It's huge body and legs are about the same size and Jessica.

Jessica maintains her distance as the crab walks around the island. She remembers reading about these and how they have a peaceful demeanour and are a vegetarian.

She forms a monster contract circle and flows energy into the circle while launch multiple wind slashes to heard it into the circle. The success rate for this may only be about 30% but it's worth a try.

As energy pulses the trees and other plants begin to billow and sway with the movement of the energy as the Island crawler touches the circle the area suddenly becomes silent and a gentle breeze flows over them like before.

"Ding… Island Crawler has been contracted. Link has been connected"

Jessica can only feel the feelings of the island crawler.

Jessica climbs onto the Island crawler and they start moving to the next island in the area, Jessica holding tight to make sure she doesn't fall off.

They continue climbing and travelling across the many islands, finding very little just islands with flat lands and the occasional puddle. They keep on travelling and moving around finding nothing, occasionally bumping into another island crawler. The landscape was beautiful full of lime green grass and trees, pale blue sky with a few fluffy clouds.

Jessica just sits there and watches the clouds move as they have a rest on one of the bigger islands they found.
