Episode 52.13 (1/2)

After having his meal, Lecan lay down on his side and stopped thinking.

(So majestic.)

The greenery of the trees, the pouring sunlight and even the blue sky high above.

To think this world was such a majesty to behold.

The world as seen through a pair of eyes is such a vast and bountiful one.

He could hear sounds from a flock of flying birds afar.

(Hm?)

(Looks like they're heading this way.)

Lecan got up and took a bow and arrows from <Storage>.

They're common bow and arrows made by human craftsman. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

He nocked the arrow and waited for the flock to pass by him.

They flew slightly further to the side.

Lecan let the arrow loose.

It hit its target, a bird that then fell down the ground.

Lecan was surprised by this feat he just did.

He's never been good enough in archery to shoot down a bird flying in the sky accurately.

Yet he knew he'd hit the instance he let the arrow go.

(Is it thanks to me having two working eyes now?)

The shot bird is a beautiful turquoise-colored bird.

With a black head and plume tips. And a slight white color on its neck.

He couldn't remember the name but he's eaten a few of these before.

They taste really good.

He hung the body upside down on a tree branch, cut its neck and stomach before taking the entrails out.

Gonna take some time until it loses all its blood.

Lecan grabbed <Sword of Rusk> out and took a stance with his right hand.

It's different.

There's just something different about it.

It just fits and settles, as if his nerves have been connected to the tip of his sword.

He took one swing at empty air.

(Oh?)

There really is something different.

Lecan came to a nearby tree and slashed with his sword.

One of the branches fell down.

Lecan stared hard at his sword.

Then at his sword-gripping hand.

Neither the sword nor his grip have changed.

Yet it's different.

It's nothing like yesterday.

He swung the sword again.

A leaf flew off the branch into the air.

Lecan swung his sword twice before the leaf could hit the ground.

The leaf got split into three as it fell.

”Oooh.”

Lecan was shocked at this.

This feat was not possible for him until now.

Hitting falling leaves with a sword is not at all difficult but actually cutting them is another thing.

Besides, <Sword of Rusk> doesn't have the sharpest blade. A blade that's too sharp is also too brittle, unfit for real combat.
