33 Wind Manipulation (1/2)
Marco was able to see the barrier of wind and did nothing, literally, he just stood there without even activating 'Start'.
Sylph: Well? Isn't my wind amazing? Give up, and become my toy.
But Marco did nothing anyway, then he sat on a nearby stone and took out some bread and other ingredients.
Sylph: ...Eh? Wh-What are you doing?
Marco cut the bread in two and put some ham, cheese and other things inside, making a sandwich, which he ate peacefully.
Sylph: Y-you aren't even trying! Fight me properly!
She was still holding the barrier of wind, and started to get tired.
The moment Marco finished his sandwich, Sylph stopped using her barrier of wind.
Sylph: Ugh, no more…
Then Marco stood up before cleaning himself, then he flickered Sylph away.
Marco: I won.
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Succeed on Sylph's test*
Sylph stabilized herself before glaring at Marco, and then she started crying.
Sylph: Fuuuuuuuu! You're so mean! No fair! You cheated!
Marco: No… You are just an idiot…
Sylph tried to hold back her tears and hatefully glared at Marco.
Sylph: *Sniff* You are so evil…
She started to calm down, even if she didn't liked the method Marco used to win, she still lost and she would give her powers to him.
Sylph: *Sigh* Whatever, here is my power… When you need help, I will lend you my power.
Then she flashes brightly and then vanishes, a mysterious feeling was spreading throughout Marco's body.
*Ding*
*Congratulations for Host to obtain the Special Enchantment: Wind Manipulation*
*Fusing with Support Feature…*
*Host will be able to fuse the Wind in the Nine Tailed Gates to increase speed or create the new attack: Wind Style: Bijuudama*
Marco closed his eyes and suddenly started to feel the wind like it is part of him, he smiled and turned back to the edge of the forest.
At the place where he entered the forest before, there was Alice with a bored look on her face, then she glanced towards him and said with a nonchalant tone.
Alice: Hmph. It looks like you got Sylph's power safely.
Marco: Aye…
Then Marco smiled, and the wind started to strongly blow around him, since he controlled the Nine Tailed Gates, he was easily able to control to a certain point magic too.
Marco: I still can't do that much, but I can use it in fights. 'Like the one that will come REALLY soon'
Marco's smile turned into a frown, and started to feel something disgusting approaching him, it gave him goosebumps just from feeling it, he knew that a chimera should come now, but he didn't think that thing would make him feel like that.
Alice: I sense a monster… But not quite… Nothing beside Elves, Fairies, and that Alraune should live in this forest…
Marco: Well, we have a training dummy for my powers.
Marco and Alice turned towards a certain direction, and looked at the grass rustling in front of them, it broke through the trees and appeared.
It looked like a dead blonde woman that is being parasitized from many different plants, there were violets, roses, tulips, sunflowers, and many other flowers, every single one had their roots inside the woman's corpse, creating an abomination completely different from what it should have looked in the game.
Marco: What… The hell…?
Alice: ...Another unknown monster…
Marco: ...Like the chimera.
Then the ivy and flowers of the monster shot out and attacked both Marco and Alice, the former avoided the attacks and used 'Start', while Alice blowed away the attack with her tail, and frowned.
Alice: What is the meaning of this?! Attacking me? Do you know what it means to attack the Monster Lord!?
Then she started to chant a spell, and created a storm of fire, but it looked like the chimera was immune to fire, surprising Alice.
Alice: What!? It didn't even flinch from my attack!?
Marco: *Sigh* Leave it to me… I still want to know what I can do with my new magic.
Alice: … Alright…
