Chapter 276 - Human Cannonball (2/2)
Then, more and more spatial bubbles appeared, and Roland flew across woods and mountains like a jet plane.
He didn’t know how fast he was moving exactly, but he couldn’t be faster than sound, because he didn’t see any clouds caused by sonic explosions.
But the speed was enough as it was.
As more and more spatial bubbles were generated, Roland gradually got the hang of controlling the power and angle of the boost of the spatial bubbles.
Now, he was already capable of establis.h.i.+ng a spatial bubble when he was about to crash, so that he would propelled upward again. He looked like a dragonfly dipping on the surface of the water.
Flying had always been a dream of mankind. One would inevitably feel thrilled when they were flying at a high speed.
Roland was overjoyed. He flew forward past mountaintops and raced with birds. He opened his hands and cheered like a delirious madman in the sky.
He ran out of mana, but it was fine. There was still the Mind-Calming Necklace.
When the mana in the Mind-Calming Necklace was about to run out, Roland finally cast Slow Landing on himself.
It was a spell that he didn’t pick up until recently.
He slowly fell from the sky and landed on a meadow in a place that he didn’t know.
Exhausted, Roland lay on the ground, his arms and his legs stretched out.
It had been four hours since he started flying. The setting sun was hanging on the horizon.
The orange glow of the sun covered the whole meadow. With eyes that were partially obstructed by the gra.s.s, he could see the gray shadows of the gra.s.s touching the red orange on the horizon in the gentle breeze.
Roland was still laughing in great delight.
It was his happiest moment since he started playing this game.
He hadn’t been as happy even when he acquired epic equipment from dungeon raids or millions in money.
He had invented a new way of flying in his own manner, and it was even more successful than he’d imagined.
It was almost the most enjoyable entertainment.
He was not as satisfied even when he did it with his ex-girlfriend.
Roland posted a thread on the forum and uploaded the video of his experience in the previous four hours.
There was no telling what the network of the game cabin was based on, but it took only three seconds to upload the 20G video.
A flying skill that I’ve invented myself for Mages.
“Please see the video for more details. You can fly without Wind Soaring. Also, this skill is not very difficult. As the inventor, I’ve named this set of tricks ‘Human Cannonball.'”
Two minutes after Roland posted the thread, it was marked as red and bolded. In the meantime, it was included among the featured threads.
Then, the players’ comments came quite fast.
“A video of four hours? Roland, are you trying to kill me? I kept fast forwarding, until I stopped doing that and started crying in the end. The whole video is just your personal shadow. Can you take our feelings into consideration for one moment?”
“I skipped through the video too. I can only say that you can never tell how many weirdos are out there or what they will possibly do on the Internet.”
“We can learn Wind Soaring at level seven. Why would we learn this Human Cannonball? It seems difficult to control. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”
“My friend, you don’t know aerial warfare at all. I’m told that Wind Soaring can’t be faster than 35 meters per second, but look at this Human Cannonball… It can easily outrun Wind Soaring.”
“Based on the retreating speed of the clouds in the video, the movement of Roland’s hair and his clothes, and through the aerodynamic formulas, I’ve concluded with my remarkable mathematical abilities that Roland was flying close to the speed of sound.”
“That’s too unbelievable. You can catch up with a dragon at such a speed. I strongly demand the effect of spatial bubble be reduced.”
“I’m a Mage specializing in Trans.m.u.tation, and I’m learning the spells of the wind cla.s.s to learn Wind Soaring in two months. I’ve even prepared the money, but I feel like crying after watching this video.”
“Is there nothing you want to say about the name of this skill? Human Cannonball? I feel like jumping off the building!”
“Let go of me! Let go of me! The Hummer I contracted can run three hundred kilometers a day without any gas… Let go of me! I’m not crazy!”
