Episode 265
“Anyway, we succeeded in floating, so step 1 is complete. Now, can you swing a sword or make a fist like that?”
“I’ll give it a try.”
I immediately swung my sword into the air, but from the looks of it, I didn’t have all my strength.
I had no choice but to lead the sword, and this time I punched it.
… You can understand this without even looking at it.
I mean, he was floundering ungainly like a person who had fallen into the water.
“Hahaha!”
Maxim, who was watching, clapped his hands in joy. Hey man, aren’t you smiling too much?
“Ignore it. Because everyone is like that at first. “Since there is no support called the earth, all movements are bound to be shaky.”
“… Iknow, right. In this case, no matter how much mana you put into your attack, you won’t get even half of the original power, right?”
“If it’s the way it is now, that’s probably true. Think about it. “Didn’t the spear strike I threw in the air contain power?”
“that… … .”
It wasn’t like that at all.
I experienced attacks from both feeds on the ground and feeds in the air, but there was no significant difference in power or speed.
Rather, it felt like attacking in the air was more difficult.
“It’s the wind.”
Hwioo-.
A breeze blew from somewhere, and Feed’s body floated gently.
“The Cheonik people are born with the love of the wind. For us, the wind is support and armor, and at the same time… … .”
hook. The feed that took his stance stabs the spear.
Paaang!
A sound like something exploding was heard in the air, and a strong wind blew.
“… “It can also be a window.”
“… … .”
“Of course, it will be difficult for you to understand now, so for now, perceive it as a support, a pedestal, or an intangible wall.”
“It’s a wall… … .”
“Today, invest in feeling the wind and understanding its essence. “I have work to do, so I’ll come back tomorrow.”
I could only nod.
“All right.”
* * *
Heros was a surprisingly flexible institution. Even though the feed left, he didn’t really try to kick me off the rooftop.
Thanks to this, I was able to have the wide rooftop all to myself, with no one around.
From what I heard, the only S-class members currently in Heros are the Headquarters Commander, the Blade of Heavenly Sword, and the Heavenly Wind Knight, so there won’t be anyone else coming.
I closed my eyes, floating alone in a space so large that it felt like a waste of space.
Even if I concentrated my senses on the skin of my entire body in that state, I couldn’t feel anything.
“Recognize the wind as a wall… … .”
Easier said than done.
I reflexively waved my hand, but of course I caught nothing.
Of course.
I thought of many symbolisms of wind.
symbol of freedom.
Something that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but is everywhere.
A gas that is much more fluid than water.
“This is harder than water… … .”
You can clearly feel the water, at least to the touch, and you can understand the concept of buoyancy when you are floating.
Even if it is a form of play such as splashing with water, holding water in the palm of your hand and spraying it, you can ‘handle’ water… … .
If you use your internal strength based on the feel of the moment, it is possible to walk on water. This is the so-called state of flying over water.
On the other hand, I had no idea how to deal with this guy called Wind.
Even if you understand the wind, it is impossible to walk on air.
‘ah. Neunggongheodo is empty and empty… … .’
I understood it the moment I remembered one of the techniques the teacher showed, but now I am in a state of confusion.
“Fuuu… … .”
I blew out air with my mouth, fanned my hands, and took deep breaths repeatedly, but I still didn’t understand.
Therefore, it was concluded that it was dangerous.
This is because there is nothing more dangerous than using power whose principles you do not even know about.
“Let me think about it.”
How did the feed fight?
In my memories, the man was always driving the wind. He did this even when he was fighting on the ground. The feeling of an endless breeze blowing around his body?
I can also create a sword or windstorm when I swing my sword or extend my fist… It feels somehow different from that.
Hwiiing-.
At that moment, the wind blew and caressed my whole body, and I felt my body floating in the air being slightly pushed back.
‘hmm?’
I was pushed out… … .
In other words, it moved.
The moment I reflected on this fact, which was nothing new, I felt like I knew a little bit about how to move in the air.
‘The physical muscles cannot move freely in the air. ‘Because there is no support.’
But just one.

There was something that allowed me to move just like when I was on the ground.
It’s just inner strength.
I started flying in the lotus position in the air.
The movement of internal energy running through the entire body veins was not one inch different from when it was on the ground.
It is natural that you need to use your internal power to fly in the first place.
I waited quietly for the next wind, and after a while, the breeze blew again.
At this time, the energy is secretly released.
The same force as the blowing wind, but in the reverse direction.
Pop-.
Then, although it was only for a moment, I felt as if my body had stopped in mid-air, and my entire body muscles also gained strength.
Although it was only for a moment, I was able to perfectly assume a nose-to-tail position in the air.
‘It’s like this… … .’
To maintain balance in the air, one had to use counterwinds.
On the other hand, I also understand why the feed didn’t explain this method.
Efficiency is the worst.
Just by simply taking the cardinal formula, a lot of the internal power was lost.
If you use Chosik, which has larger movements and is more powerful, you will need much more strength.
After all, Baek Il Sik is a martial art that consumes a lot of internal energy.
“This is a bit… … .”
If you fight like this, it will be difficult to fight for tens of seconds, let alone several minutes.
Although I understood the principle, the feeling of confusion did not go away.
at the same time… Somehow, I felt that it would be impossible for me to fully utilize this wind, even if I were to die or wake up.
Thanks to the characteristics of the Cheonik tribe and the divine protection, Feed was able to freely manipulate the wind.
This means that it is possible to create wind in any desired direction.
This is why large and small winds always blew around the man’s body.
On the other hand, I don’t have that kind of talent.
It is possible to float, and flight is somehow possible, but it is meaningless if you cannot fight in that state.
no.
It may have meaning, but it doesn’t mean much.
In the end, if you lose combat ability instead of gaining mobility, this is a complete reversal.
‘It’s the wind… … .’
Why does the wind feel so unfamiliar?
The answer to the question that suddenly occurred to me was related to the first method of Cheonhwa, which is my origin.
Thursday, Tuesday, Saturday, Friday, Wednesday.
Wind is not the root of the five elements.
Although wind is also included in the concept of wood, it is difficult to say that its importance is high because it is not fundamental.
At least in the martial arts that I have learned and established in my mind, wind is not a source of nature.
Separately, I know that the position of the wind is much more important in magic and elemental science.
‘Elemental.’
Similar to the Five Elements, but a different concept.
The origins of all things they think are fire, water, wind, and earth, respectively.
So, is the reason why I can’t handle the wind because of this fundamental difference in thinking?
‘I’m embarrassed… … .’
If this is true, it may never be possible for me to control the wind.
This is because it is very difficult to change the ideas that have already taken root in your head.
“… … .”
Let’s change the direction of our thinking slightly.
Fire and wind.
I can’t say that the compatibility is good, but it depends on how you use it.
In the first place, the compatibility of fire and wind would not be bad. Depending on the strength of the wind, it can further increase the momentum of the fire.
Of course, too strong a wind would extinguish the flames, so coordination would also be important.
‘… There must be a reason.’
The reason I only grew one wing.
The reason why the power focused on the gyeongjeonghyeol was wrapped around the wings.
The feed doesn’t even know why this is.
That’s because it happened to me.
I am the one closest to the answer, and I am the one who must find it.
It stayed floating in the air for hours, floundered, took a eclipse, and even unfolded the Galaxy Sword with the Seven Sins Sword drawn.
Although I didn’t fly high because there was a risk of falling suddenly.
Still, not only was my internal strength exhausted, but my muscles also became a little stiff.
What can I say?
As I was floating in the air, I was able to move muscles that I normally wouldn’t use. If this was a harvest, it was a harvest. Do you feel like you discovered a new training method?
Although the sun had completely set, I strangely did not feel tired.
Apart from being physically tired, my mind is clear. I know the reason for this feeling.
This is usually the mindset when facing a wall and just before breaking through it.
It is not for nothing that warriors who face this condition do not eat a meal for several weeks and swing their swords.
[Giggles.]
So, when I first heard laughter, I couldn’t believe my ears.
That’s because I haven’t lost my mind enough to hear hallucinations yet.
At first, I thought I misheard, or that it was the God of War who spoke to me through the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins.
[Ahaha, ahaha… … .]
The martial gods I know do not burst out into such sonorous laughter.
“… what?”
I was puzzled, but not as wary as I thought.
For some reason, there was no malice in the laughter, and only innocence was felt.
In the first place, this is Heros’ headquarters.
One of the safest places in the Empire.
[fun. You are fun.]
“who are you.”
[Here it is. I am here.]
The wind blew slightly. When I turned my head to where the wind had blown, I saw a very small creature.
no. Is it really a living thing?
I saw So So-jeong, who was the size of my palm and had an androgynous appearance that made it hard to tell whether she was a boy or a girl.
[hi.]
“… hi. “Who are you?”
[I am the wind.]
“wind? ah.”
It was only then that I guessed the identity of this Soyojeong.
“You mean the spirit?”
[You guys call it that too.]
“… … .”
I was a little curious and saw the wind spirit.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen a spirit.
This was because anyone without an aptitude for spirit magic would not be able to capture this being even if it were dead or awake.
Of course, since I am of fairy blood, I will have a higher affinity for spirits than an ordinary human… … .
They are black fairies, a derivative race, and they are descendants whose bloodlines have become much blurred, so they are far inferior to ordinary fairies.
Of course, I heard that Iron Blood Prince made a contract with all the spirits of the four major elements regardless of that.
‘Why all of a sudden?’
There is no field in which talent is more important than that of spirits, and I have not seen even a shadow of them in my past life.
It means that it is already a proven fact that I have no talent for spirit magic.
But why did the wind spirit appear before my eyes now?
All I can think of is [Crowtaker]’s tattoo. The mysterious pattern of this Heavenly Wing tribe’s vision forcibly increased affinity.
While I was thinking about this and that, this rat-sized guy spoke arrogantly.
[The wind is. It’s not like riding like that.]
“Then how do you ride it?”
[You can just let yourself go naturally. Go with the flow. Like dancing… … . Oh yeah-!]
While saying that, So So-jeong suddenly started dancing Doom Chit Doom Chit.
“… … .”
[You should dance too! like this! Like this! Oh my!]
I figured no one would be watching anyway, so I tried to imitate the movements as best as I could, but of course nothing changed.
Rather, my head was forcibly cooled and my heart became calm as I entered the Sage Time.
“… Hey. Instead of saying things like that, can you help me?”
[Uhm… … . What should I do? Since you’re handsome, I’d like to help you too.]
“Am I handsome?”
Is the aesthetic sense of spirits similar to that of humans?
[huh! I like that all of Kusset’s later people are good-looking!]
“okay?”
[You may be a bit uglier than the other Huin, but I think that makes you more likable!]
“… … .”
Is this a compliment?
I was shaken, but why? The pet dogs were also ugly, but the more I looked at them, the more I liked them, so I decided to skip them.
Still, I can’t leave without saying something.
“It’s not good if you make fun of people because of what they look like.”
[okay? Sorry.]
“If you’re sorry, please help me.”
[Uhm… … .]
He looks like he’s worried again.
[Actually, I don’t mind helping you.]
“It doesn’t matter, does it?”
[You are so hot. I don’t like it because it’s hot when I’m close to it. I want to run away.]
“I’m hot?”
[huh.]
Is it because of Cheil Chloride?
I took back some of the air power that was surrounding my wings.
“How about this?”
[It’s still hot.]
“Is this enough?]
[Wow – good, good. Warm!]
The spirit seemed to be in a good mood and danced.
[On a day when the plants are the freshest, when you take a nap on the leaves, it seems like the time when the sun is the highest!]
“I will only use this much when you help me. how is it?”
[huh. good!]
The wind spirit said with a smile.
[What is your name?]
“Luan Badnicker.”
[Then will you name me too?]
“You don’t have a name?”
[There is, but I want you to build a new one!]
“good. “How about a wind stone?”
[My name is ‘Salpa’!]
“… … .”
I looked at Salpa with sunken eyes and nodded.
“… okay. Salpa. “Then can you help me?”
Salpa nodded and smiled broadly.
[huh! Let’s make a contract!]
