Chapter 30 - (30) Fools (1/2)

Geth woke up, soaked in a cold sweat. He looked around, his staff lay beside him and he was laying on the giant branch from before. After patting himself down quickly, he pressed his palms to the sides of his head, he had a terrible headache.

The dream he'd just had was already trying to escape from his mind. He grasped at it as best he could, but it soon faded away, leaving only whispers in his mind about what he had dreamt.

There was no sleeping with his head hurting the way it was. The dream had now completely slipped his mind, the most he could recall was the feeling of sorrow and the sight of a massive tree.

He shook his head and looked up at the stars through the canopy of the trees. This world was beautiful, with no city lights hindering the view. There was something different from before he fell asleep.

The Mana in the air was easier to see. It was beautiful. Soft blue mist-like tendrils slithered back and forth in the air. The Mana would occasionally take vague shapes of many odd-looking creatures. It reminded him of what clouds would sometimes look like when they took on odd shapes.

Albus shortly interrupted his observations.

:An unknown force has entered your mind. Mana Sense has been upgraded to Level 3:

'What...?' He didn't know what to think. Geth simply spent the rest of the time observing the different forms of the Mana, until the dawn broke and Til started to stir.

There were no incidents, and no patrols came near them during the night. Before they left the woodline, they shared one of the large fruits from the Dungeon.

Geth handed him one of the makeshift canteens so that they could drink while they walked. Til was pretty impressed by his creation and asked him for more details of what he could do.

”I can pretty much make anything 6 cubic inches in size or less, though it can't be complicated. It can be pretty difficult working in details at my current level.” He'd told him.

”What about arrows?”

”Well, I could make arrowheads, the shaft would probably be too heavy if the entire thing was stone.” Geth thought for a bit before continuing, ”It might be possible with the crazy Strength one can obtain now, but you would have to have a bowstring strong enough not to snap as well.”

'It's likely that there are creatures that can provide materials for that. If someone had some crazy 1000 pound draw bow they should easily be able to fire stone arrows. With enough practice, I could make the shafts hollow to make them lighter, but it would still require an unnaturally strong bow and draw strength.'
