Chapter 47.2: Space Leap (5) One more bonus chapter! Thank you to Talosfanboy for the donation! ^^
Whoa!
When I touched it, the pattern shone brightly, as always, and was absorbed into my body.
As I was groping for information about the mystery that flooded my mind, I immediately tried it.
As soon as I used space leap, my position was teleported some distance forward.
There was no side effect, and there was no casting delay like the floating veil.
It was too narrow to test the space leap properly, so I went out first.
When I went back through the passage I had passed and came out, I saw a woman swimming here and there from afar.
I teleported towards her.
– ···Whew!
She was startled by the sudden appearance in front of me and stopped.
– What, what? Where did you come from?
I stretched my finger upwards.
She glanced around at me and gave me a puzzled expression.
– Do you want to go up? Did you get what you’re looking for?
I nodded.
With this, the mystery of space leap was also obtained safely.
***
After rising to the ground, I tested my abilities, unfolding the mystery of space leap.
First, the maximum distance traveled was a little over 100 steps when measured in steps. I couldn’t gauge it, but it seemed to be about 75 meters.
And above all, this ability was a rechargeable type that could store several times.
Up to three times, the cooldown is 10 seconds.
If the storage value was maximum, it could be used continuously without a cooldown up to 5 times, and it was recharged once every 10 seconds.
It was not surprising because I knew that the mystery of space leap in the game was this kind of skill.
However, in the game, I remember the total number of times it could be used in a day was 10, but there seemed to be no restriction like that here.
I raised my head and looked up at the sky, then used my power again.
This time, when I teleported upwards, my body floated high in the air for an instant.
When I used the floating veil in that state, my body remained fixed in the air and did not fall, giving it the appearance of being completely levitated.
This was possible with floating veil because it could maintain the body at a fixed point.
So I can also use it this way.
I was wondering if there would be any use for this, but there was nothing wrong with learning a new way to use it.
I teleported back to the floor before I fell and landed.
The mystery of space leap was also like floating veil. When I used my ability, the force acting on my body disappeared altogether. This meant that even if it was used while falling, the falling power would completely disappear.
With these two abilities, dying from a fall was the least likely to happen.
I stood with my arms crossed and thought about the synergy of my other abilities or more efficient use of my abilities.
Splash!
Then a woman came out of the lake.
In her hands were several large fish.
She walked over to me, wiping away her water.
“Hey, let’s go.”
She was told me to wait here for a moment and then she jumped into the lake again. So I waited, but I didn’t know where we’re supposed to go.
I looked at her silently, and she continued, scratching her head.
“No, what… Just let’s go back and have dinner together. You didn’t intend to leave right away anyway, did you?”
“I was just about to.”
I already found the mystery. Was there any reason to stay longer in this lake?
I was thinking of going back to the carriage and leaving as soon as morning came.
At my words, she pouted.
“Isn’t that rude? You treated my grandfather, and you also saved me earlier… how could we not thank you?”
“You don’t have to. Let’s just separate here.”
“Hey, You–!”
She sighed in anger and suddenly said with a serious look.
“Can’t you just come over for a while? My grandfather said he has a very important story to tell you.”
···An important story?
What was that all of a sudden?
Is this a story about the chief mage of Santea’s Imperial Family?
It was the only thing I could think of.
Anyway, it’s not like a person like the chieftain would say something useless.
I nodded my head helplessly.
“Okay. Let’s go together.”
Her expression brightened up.
“I know you will agree. I’m going to die of hunger, so let’s go quickly. It’s amazing how soft this fish is.”
She hummed and walked forward.
“Hey, but what’s your name?”
“Ron.”
“My name is Anne, Ron. Remember me.”
I already knew because I heard the other Seawater tribe people and the chieftain calling her.
She continued to hum, and we walked towards the cave.
***
“Uh, Anne. Are you here?”
When we arrived at the cave, the chieftain, who was standing with his back at the entrance of the cave, greeted us.
“I hope you can come again. I wanted to treat you to something, at least a little, before you leave…”
I nodded and asked.
“I heard you have an important story to tell.”
The chief tilted his head at him.
“A story to tell? There’s no such thing.”
···?
I turned to Anne.
She smiled awkwardly and avoided my gaze.
“Sorry, that was a lie.”
“···”
“Now that you’ve come all the way here, you can just enjoy dinner and go, right? I’ll cook you delicious meat right away!”
I looked at her back as she ran into the cave with puzzled eyes.
