When passed through the barrier, he had entered the elven lands. All around was green. He learned from Tiriana that the real magic forest can only be entered at an elf's outpost. There are 3 layers in the Elf's kingdom. The outer layer is what Leon had passed though. In this layer are many outposts with entrances to the second layer of the kingdom. The second layer has many villages located all over. The third layer is where the bigger towns are located. At the center of this magic forest kingdom is the city. Where all the royals and kings live. Like Tiriana had said, it took them a week to reach the elf's outpost. Leon was amazed at all the houses in and on the trees.
"We're here! Finally! Did you still want to travel with us, Leon? Our destination is at the center of the Kingdom. If you don't want to come with us and go by yourself, that is fine too."
This whole time traveling with Tiriana, Leon had gotten fed up with Tiriana's fake pure persona. He didn't know how Kei was able to handle her. Well, it's not like he goes against whatever she asks of him anyways. Tiriana just stood back when there were beast attacks. Kei and Leon were the ones to deal with most of them. Tiriana was a human mage. A lazy and useless one at that. Kei and him had gotten closer. Kei still only gave short responses. He was always serious and aloof. Leon did notice that Kei was disguising himself as a human. But he sensed that the other was also mixed raced. He felt some elf's mana when he fought or used magic. Tiriana didn't seem to know, having no idea that Kei was mixed. When Leon first met Tiriana, he noticed how her expression dropped before pretending again. Like a lot of the races, they had prejudice against the mixed races. No wonder Kei pretended to be human. Leon wasn't surprised.
He himself didn't care and let others know that he was mixed. Of course it's his privacy that he had 4 bloodlines. No one needs to know that anyway. In the past, racism was extremely bad. Then as more mixed races popped up over time. It slowly got better. It's pretty much accepted in most areas. But there will always be some haters everywhere you go. Tiriana was one of them. Leon didn't know if she was born with it or she was raised like that and it can be fixed. Maybe she could become a better person, you know?
"Nah, I'll go on my own. I don't want to be a burden to you two."
Leon liked to be close to Kei but he really couldn't stand being around Tiriana. He liked the familiarity that Kei gave him, but he couldn't act like he was friends with Tiriana any longer so he decided to go solo. They went their separate ways. Kei and Tiriana went straight to the entrance of the second layer. The entrance was a teleportation portal that sent them to the front of a random village. Tiriana did say that there were more types of entrances as they went deeper into the magic forest. To go to one place as a group, you have to touch each other. By holding hands or grabbing another's shoulder. Of course there are always other ways to go to the elf's city. It was teleportation scrolls or a teleportation hall. There are rare magicians that are able to use space magic and teleport themselves. The stronger the magic user, the more people and things they can teleport. This is how magician's that specialize in space magic could go to any teleportation hall and work. A group of space magic magicians could work together on a spell to teleport groups of people.
Leon looked at the entrance. With 3 of his bloodlines awakened, he had a lot of mana. He was able to teleport himself but he needed to have visited that location once before. As he had never been to the elf's kingdom. He couldn't just teleport there. Also, his original goal was to meet Tiriana. He had assumed Kei was the elven prince that saved Tiriana in the original fate line. But no, Tiriana had yet to meet him.
Beastmans have the ability to shift into their animal form. Dragons have the ability to shift into a humanoid form. And because Leon was mixed race, he had gained a physical quality from each bloodline. When he awakened his human bloodline, he was able to use magic like human magicians and within his eyes were very faint white magic circles. When he awakened his beastman bloodline, he had symmetrical tribal tattoos form below his collar. It went from shoulder to shoulder and was white in color. He also got a beast form, which was a nine tailed fox. He couldn't understand why he had nine-tails as there are no such things as a multi-tailed fox in this world. But when he awakened his beastman bloodline, he turned into a human sized nine-tailed fox. When he awakened his elven bloodline, he gained magic abilities from mother nature and pointed ears. He has yet to awaken his dragon bloodline so he didn't know how his body would change.
His only shifting abilities were having human ears or pointed elven ears. As well as showing and hiding his fox ears and tail or shifting into his beast form. Leon sensed that no presence was around him and so he decided to shift his appearance. Leon's current appearance was having his fox ears and letting one tail show. His ears stayed pointed. The other qualities like his tribal tattoos and the magic circle within his eyes were permanent. Meaning he could only hide them under his clothes. Finally, he stepped into the entrance portal.
Both Tiriana and Kei were adventurers as well, just like himself. But their grades were S. Whereas his was A. He had stopped doing tasks after reaching grade A. He had the skills and abilities to survive on his own. Before, to complete the tasks, he had to join parties. That was how he removed the OOC restriction. After the restriction was completely gone, he just went solo. Plus, he had his pet companion system.
'Ughhh, I'll never get used to this. I'm so dizzy.'
Leon frowns from the feeling of being teleported from one place to another. He stood in place to stabilize himself and sent a mental thought to his system.
'It'll go away as you get used to it. You haven't teleported much.'
'Well duh, I tried not to use it much since that means I'll have to go through this torture. I'm not a masochist. Or am I? You know, for my hubby Kayden. Heehee.'
'...'
