Sky Fall Legend 45 The Happening 1

When Jodye Trill said 'pretty big sisters', the two little girls looked at each other, and then giggled. The girl in the blue dress spoke up first in a sing-song voice, "Hi handsome little brother Jodye, I'm Sophie! This is my sister, Levi."

"You're too big to be a little brother though," said Levi shyly from behind Sophie. This prompted Jodye to reflexively extend his spiritual sense outward out to observe himself and the area.

Indeed. Shockingly, Jodye's height now solidly surpa.s.sed a meter reaching about 55 inches. Jodye Trill rubbed his nose embarra.s.sedly at this discovery. The three meter tall Hughes, the only one who Jodye felt should have been shocked as he just grew several inches in a day, just looked on nonchalantly. As a child he had had many growth spurts as well, so this didn't seem strange to him.

"Well…I'm only five this year…so. Hey! I know you!" It was at this moment that Jodye Trill noticed the well dressed young man next to Hughes with stars in his eyes like he was meeting a famous rapper from his old world. This man had left a deep impression on Jodye when he had first come to this crazy world! He could said to be responsible for Jodye wanting to be a Sage. His mother had told him many things about this man, and even recruited him after that day! He was an amazing sage who could defeat sages in the next realm! He was also an honored elder and even had a t.i.tle! "You're the Inexhaustible Flame, Kold Rondo!"

"I knew I liked this kid," said Kold Rondo to Hughes before walking over to Jodye Trill like a hero meeting a school boy, "Young n.o.ble Joseph, well met! Cleaned up some first level clones eh? Fine work lad, fine work, haha."

Just like that Rondo and Jodye Trill instantly hit it off, maintaining a steady flow of conversation as the five of them journeyed towards the secret Trilleck Villa where the Young Wolf Celebration Dinner would be held in a week's time. During this week Jodye hunted four level 1 and three level 2 vicious beasts, while taking battle advice and cultivation tips from the four experts by his side.

"It's an avian type beast, young Joe, you have to lure it down to your level! Reveal an opening in these situations, before turning the tides!" commented Rondo, as Jodye Trill activated his nine astral points and jumped off of a tree to catch a level 2 Frenzy Bat in the air. His immortal battle force surged as he exploded with the strength of 12,950 pounds of physical might, dropping into a spinning pile drive! The level 2 Frenzy Bat was flattened into mush. As Jodye disengaged right before impact he was left without stain.

Rondo's jaw hung briefly before he recovered, "Ahem, as I was saying. The previous strategy was of course aimed towards those with any aerial prowess. Those with should use the terrain to thei advantage to strike the opponent off guard, hahaha, good job, good job."

Jodye was speechless at how shameless this honored elder level character could be. Wouldn't he make honored elders everywhere embarra.s.sed?

"Little brother sure is strong. That's the eighth level 2 vicious beast today," marveled Sophie. Even her sister and herself weren't so strong at the young master's age.

To Jodye's complete surprise, Sophie and Levi were both already at the Mage rank. Despite their appearances they were actually 16 years of age. This was only a bit of a relief to Jodye, as he felt he may be able to compare to these girls in a few years. He had thought they were like twelve or something with that cultivation! If it was like that, Jodye would've begin to wonder if he was truly as talented as he originally thought.

Even he didn't believe he would achieve the Mage rank by twelve! That was simply too monstrous. One had to know, it took Jodye nearly four years to advance one rank! Cultivation was truly a time consuming event. Sophie and Levi were elves from Rodinia in the south. Their parents were killed by a.s.sa.s.sins, but they were rescued by the Frozen Night Master, and Jodye's mother, Isis Trilleck.

Two days before the Young Wolf Celebration Dinner, the team was about 300 meters away from the secret location of the Trilleck Villa. As they walked down a hidden forest path, Hughes was in the middle of lecturing Jodye about how he should stop provoking powerful beasts.

"For instance, that level 3 Death Hawk. You actually dared to jump on its back when it dived and missed its attack! This was truly foolis.h.!.+ What kind of idiot taught you that?" berated Hughes.

"Haha, but buddy didn't he end the fight in a glorious manner, stomping the Death Hawk flat into lunch meat." laughed Rondo as he patt Hughes' elbow.

"Keep your bad habits to yourself, Kold. The young master practices the same path as our Frozen Night mistress," replied Hughes. "He will one day s.h.i.+ne resplendently."

Merely, Jodye Trill wasn't really listening to these two at this moment, he was anxiously focused on observing their surroundings. Earlier, while Jodye was surveying the surroundings with his spiritual sense he had been noticing some slight movements right outside the range of his perception. It was as if several people were surrounding them under the cover of shadows. After breaking through to the Soph.o.m.ore rank, the range of Jodye's spiritual sense increased to 30 meters around himself.

With the augmentation effect of Pharaoh's Law his spiritual force would temporarily reach level 3, and this would temporarily increase his perceptive range to 80 meters, and the spiritual sense would transform into spiritual awareness. This was a change in the quality and depth of perception. It was like going from two dimensional to three dimensional. However, Jodye felt that one of the experts accompanying him should be able to notice if something was amiss. Perhaps he was being too paranoid… or so he was thinking, until Sek Si had suddenly appeared in front of him!

Her voiced was urgent and panicked, "Young master, we must hurry and escape!"

"Trippy!" With a thought Jodye immediately activated his source artifact to check on his suspicions. While Hughes and Rondo were quipping with each other, these events didn't go unnoticed by the the twins Sophie and Levi. When Sophie saw someone dressed as an a.s.sa.s.sin appear in front of Jodye, she was poised to attack before realizing it was a child, and thus converging her aura that almost surged out. The Frozen Night Master had briefed them of a child a.s.sa.s.sin that was contracted to the young master. Meanwhile, Levi felt the spiritual awareness fluctuations pa.s.s by her and was initially shocked, before she glanced at Jodye and seem to have a realization. She immediately sent out her own spiritual awareness.

After extending his spiritual awareness to around 40 meters Jodye begin to turn pale. There were numerous dark shadows das.h.i.+ng through the trees and in the bushes in the surroundings, following them and surrounding them from almost all sides. Only the path directly to the east wasn't completely boxed in yet. Jodye didn't feel like he had the time to explain, or even speak with Sek Si about the details.

'Cosmo', with a thought the Cosmos Revolving Grimoire appeared in front of Jodye Trill in a flash of purple light.

[Cosmos Revolving Grimoire]

'Seal 1: Summoner unlocked'

'Seal 1: Combat Mode unlocked'

Jodye could currently keep his source artifacts active for around two hours if he was using them both, and for five if he only used one. However, in truth he typically only kept the grimoire active if he needed to summon. Another part of the first seal had been unlocked, called combat mode! This ability of the grimoire allowed the combat soul turned guardian to advance to its next form during battle! It also created a halo of protection around the host.

Soph.o.m.ore rank Sage's combat soul's would be freshly awakened to their infant forms. Infant form combat souls can only leave the body in astral form. They can't attack, and can't be seen by others. As they do not have physical forms, they can only absorb and distribute force. Combat souls usually only become visible if the source artifact is summoned. But Jodye's source artifact allowed the combat soul to not only be visible, but it was already a real physical ent.i.ty, a guardian!

Even though the grimoire had unlocked another part of the first seal and had some type of invisible natural barrier that could protect him from harm, Jodye didn't feel challenged sitting back and watching his guardians do all the work. How could he ever be okay with that? This was called using the strength of others. Jodye wanted to conquer others with his own strength. The grimoire flipped open to the second page, glowing resplendently.

[Guardian 1: Cosmos Devouring Sky Wolf]

'Compatibility rating: 55%'

'Tier 1 Primary and auxiliary abilities unlocked during combat mode.'

'Summon time: Five hours'

Sylvester Tricko emerged from a magic circle on the ground in a pillar of sky fall flames. Jodye Trill grabbed Sek Si in his arms and leapt onto Sylvester's back, "Sly, why did our compatibility drop again?"

"My s.p.a.cial powers are above your realm, thus straining our souls. Merely, if I use my devouring powers to attack then I may get carried away. I must wait until you are able to wield this power without me," replied Sylvester indifferently. "Less of this. We're surrounded."

"Not quite. Go 30 meters east, 2 minutes," Jodye had his own thoughts in regards to Sylvester's expenditure of power, but he became focused again after Sylvester's reminder. He turned his head and called out to the still arguing Hughes and Rondo, "Hey guys theres big trouble! We're surrounded by someone, follow me!"

Sylvester heard Jodye had finished and took off to the east! The Sky Wolf had actually covered 30 meters in a mere few seconds of running before he leapt into the sky, defying gravity. However, Jodye noticed that his speed decreased substantially in the air. As they rose higher into the air Jodye's face grew more and more solemn.

While Hughes and Rondo were initially dazed, Levi immediately followed Jodye without hesitation, prompting Sophie to do the same while calling back, "Guys lets go! The young master could face danger!"

Hughes and Rondo's faces both changed. They instantly recovered and rapidly shot past the girls after Jodye Trill. However, as soon as the started moving dark shadows started zeroing in from every direction. Sophie was already muttering an incantation with a violet aura surrounding her. Inside her aura the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth was swiftly manifesting.

"Celestial Body!"

"Attack at full power!"

"Where is the boy! Find the boy! Killing the boy is priority major!"

....

Sinister voices begin to shout in the surroundings. The sky was suddenly lit up with hundreds of terrifying forces and weapon lights flying toward the group of four rapidly at full speed! Milky white incantation runes continued to fly out of Sophie's mouth as her violet aura exploded outward. Thousands of different colored marble sized light spheres formed the shape of a fierce-looking shark constellation that swam around in Sophie's aura.

The hundreds of attacks landed on them right as Sophie screamed out, "Immortal Water Barrier!"

The incantation runes that Sophie produced scattered flew into the perimeter. At Sophie's shout, water element started pouring out from the runes, and before long the four n.o.bles were surrounded by a huge sphere of water. The attacks all crashed into this barrier in a terrifying way, causing Jodye Trill who watched from above to s.h.i.+ver. He wasn't sure whether or not those four could survive such an a.s.sault.

This was definitely bad. Even worse, these people seemed to be targeting him. Jodye thought this was bold until he realized that if they dared to sneak an attack on him, could it be they had a reason to not fear his mother's retaliation? Could something have happened to his mother? Jodye Trill had a really bad feeling. It was like a dark cloud hanging in the skies, that you could see the ends off. This made Jodye nervous.

"Who the h.e.l.l are these guys?" asked Jodye Trill as his rage started to slowly bubble.

"They smell like Dark Elves. Elven warriors who practice dark power inheritance, like your shadow girl." Mumbled Sylvester out loud, completely scaring the s.h.i.+t out of Sek Si.

"IT…It…it can speak!?" Sek Si's mind short-circuited. She had never thought would meet such a creature as Jodye in this small world. She couldn't believe it. His combat soul could talk! It was conscious!

"HE can speak. And yes he can, indeed. Less of that Sek, how long were we being followed?"Jodye Trill, of course, took note of Sek Si's reaction. From it, he realized that he couldn't easily share the fact that his combat souls possessed consciousness. However, telling Sek Si about this was truly no different from telling himself, what did it matter?

I don't know, I was cultivating in my shadow s.p.a.ce when I felt several powerful auras lock onto you remotely. So I immediately scouted the surrounding shadows. When I did so, I saw many a.s.sa.s.sins in leather armor surrounding us.

"You can sense when others have locked on to my aura? Wait, people can lock on to aura?! Is there anything we can do?" Jodye asked Sylvester expectantly.

"There is simply no need for you to act. Have you not yet learned how to detect the spiritual sense of others? Are you seriously so ignorant? We are truly doomed," Sylvester said indifferently. Jodye was speechless. He truly hadn't ever learned to do such. In fact, he had never even thought about it. Sylvester spat, "Hughes, those other white elves, and the young n.o.ble have already ascertained your location. This is because they have seen me fly before, and knew where to look. I a.s.sume they're buying you time by not attacking. The time which you waste by asking me questions."

Jodye grimaced and firmed his mind, "Let's go find my mother."

Right as Sylvester turned to take off, Jodye heard the soft and sweet voice of Levi next to his ear, "Little brother, the Frozen Night Mistress gave you a magic mirror right? Hurry and find the mistress!"

Jodye Trill was startled, but quickly pulled out a serenity gla.s.s magic mirror from the inside of his s.p.a.ce ring. Jodye poured origin energy into the magic mirror and a panel lit up. He quickly sent a sound transmission to his mother as Sylvester took to the skies.
