Chapter 284 - A new martha (2/2)

”An angel.” He said.

Martha started to blush.

”What did you call me, I'm sorry Jack but you know my heart belongs to someone else.”

Then Jack lifted his hand and pointed, not directly at her but slightly off to the side.

As she turned her head, she flinched at what she was seeing but at the same time they moved. Then she released they were attached to her body. Martha had obtained a set of Harpy wings.

Without having to think about it much Martha was able to move the wings freely as if they were another set of arms.

”I thought you said it wouldn't change my appearance?”

”Believe me I am as surprised as you, perhaps different crystals affect different people.” Lenny said, ”Can you try putting them away?”

Martha then closed her eyes and tried to release the mana energy from her body back to the outside world and at the same time, the wings retreated back inside her body.

”This is amazing.” Lenny said, ”Well what are you waiting for, give them a go, right now you are able to fulfil one of mankind's biggest dreams, the ability of flight. Sure, there are some mages that can power themselves and levitate into the air but this is completely different.”

Martha once again gathered her mana and the wings had sprouted out from her body. She started to flap them about like crazy and then when she was slightly airborne, she ran forward and jumped.

”I'm doing it, I'm really doing it,” Martha said as she was lifted into the air, however, it was short-lived. She glided in the air for a total of a second, before plummeting her face into the grass and mud.

”Looks like we might need some practice,” Lenny said.

Even if Martha couldn't fly right now, she could already tell she could get stronger. As an archer having the aerial view and being able to attack from above was a huge advantage. It was indeed the perfect beast to pair up with her skill set.

The group then decided to rest for the night. Lenny was worn out from giving his mana during the process and so was Jack a little. The only one that was full of energy was Martha but she could see the other two were tired.

The three of them were able to rest in the mansion. Lenny had gotten permission from Mia to use it as much as he liked during his stay at Roland.

This was great news for the three as they would no longer be required to pay for an inn and it would save them money.

The three of them were sat in a living room, each on their own separate sofa with a table in the middle. The table contained a bowl of fruit that each of them was snacking on.

”Hey Lenny, if the basic tier crystals allowed me to evolve, if we repeated the process with intermediate crystals would I be able to evolve again?” Martha asked.

”In theory that could work but there is a problem, you saw and felt how you nearly died during the first evolution process. I made sure before doing it on myself I had trained up my ability in magic in case anything went wrong. With you, we took a shortcut, I believed my magic abilities would be enough to help you just like they did me but I was wrong. I would hate to think about how strong someone's magic would be if they needed to help you with another evolution.”

Just then a strange knock was heard at the door. The group looked around and counted everyone there, all three of them were there so who could it be?

”Come out you damn, thieves!”
