Jessica returns to the entrance and finds her grandfather there.
"I see you found a way to move about via Island crawler, but eventually you'll need to do this journey yourself" he says as he hugs Jessica.
The warp out of the dungeon and board their ship to head home.
They arrive back to the mansion and Jessica goes off to the grand library to study and learn more about the wind elements.
________________________________________
Over the next few days, Jessica learnt of more advanced meditation techniques and how to manipulate the air around her for more precise and accurate applications.
"Jessica! I need to show you the Holy Wind Alter, follow me now" her grandfather booms as he walks into the library.
He walks towards the top of the Wind Temple, as they reach the top Jessica feels a large and heavy aura cover her and weigh her down, she notices the wind elements are in higher density than even the dungeon.
"Put your hand on the centre pillar and flow your energy into it" Jessica's grandfather says as he stands to the side.
Jessica slowly moves towards the centre pillar and lays her hand on it, as she pushes her energy and aura into the pillar she faints.
In her slumber she hears,
"Ding… all Wind blessings fused with Wind manipulation blessing, wind manipulation blessing power level increased by 1."
"Ding… Wind elements absorbed reached a new height. All wind element blessings increased by 2 and +100 to Speed stat"
"Ding… wind elements have been absorbed by your contracted monster. Contracted monster's wind blessings have increased by 2 and +100 Speed."

Upon waking up Jessica feels lighter she stands up and finds her grandfather standing there patiently.
"Your strength has improved, go off and adventure and grow in strength. I don't want to see you back till your reach combat power 80." Jessica's grandfather says as he flys into the sky and disappearing from Jessica's sight.
Jessica slowly climbs down the temple, making her way through the city. She heads to the dungeon, upon entering she finds herself on another floating island.
She summons her island crawler to take her between all the islands.
After a while of wandering, she stumbles across a large island with a cave twisting downwards. She decides to go into the cave and follow the right side, as she slowly descends she finds that here are moderate to large holes leading to empty sky. She declines and these holes become less frequent as she makes way to a large room full of grass, vines and a range of flora arrangements. In the centre a bird like snake monster curls up in a ball.

Jessica slowly backs away and tries to escape but as she turns away she finds the entrance of the cave covered in thick roots, Vines and leaves. Unable to escape she turns to the sleeping monster, quickly she covers herself in gusts of wind to act like armour and then swiftly shooting a blade of wind towards the Monster. It leaves a small cut on the Monster's back, it rises with a squawk, turning to Jessica and swiftly shooting many feathers at Jessica. The few feathers that where on the weaker side got pushed back and lost motion as soon as hitting the wind armour put up, the 5 other feathers on the stronger side barely got effected by the wind surrounding Jessica, and pierced into her legs and arms as she moved to dodge the few she could. Quickly she summoned her island crawler and launched 2 wind blades at the monsters eyes, it quickly dodged one of the blades but the other landed on the top of its head leaving a small slash in its head.
Jessica continued to dodge and weave through the planted cave and the many feathers being thrown at her, occasionally some hit her leaving only shallow cuts and scrapes. She launches multiple blades of wind towards the snake like beast, leaving shallow cuts all along its body. It looks like they are fairly evenly matched since both can't do any significant damage to each other.
Jessica decides to use more of her wind manipulation to trap the snake like monster even for a second, and launch a flurry of Wind blades concentrating all of the blades in the same spot on the snakes back. The wound gets deeper as more blood keeps pouring out of it like a fountain. The monster breaks free of the wind prison and swiftly sheds its skin, it's brightly coloured scales grow dull and muted turning a deep matte brown instead of a vibrant glossy green. With increased speed it charges towards Jessica.
Jessica quickly launches a blast of air at the snake like monster, but it swiftly moves foward despite this. She then moves the air around the snake away hoping to catch it out of breath, she forms a small vacuum around the snake monster's head. Suddenly the snake stops in its tracks and falls to the ground.
"It must have run out of stamina, snakes do use heaps of energy shedding and all those attacks and defending wouldn't help it" she says to herself, she swiftly launches a tone of wind blades at the snakes neck till it seperates from its body.
She picks up 10 wind feathers, 5 peices of snake hide and 3 Element blessing shards.
"Ding… Level 4 achieved"
