Chapter 113
Chapter 113: This is called a hang glider
By the time that everyone had surrounded the Medusa, it had already fallen and lay without moving. Trunks leapt onto the body with sword in hand, slicing open its head and taking out the most valuable item from the Medusa with a look of joy.
Trunks dug out the core of the level one magic beast and the blue blood near its core. When Han Shuo had dashed over from the distance, the matters on this side had been completed, and even the corpse of the Medusa had been pushed into the depths of the trap.
The, elf off in the distance, followed closely behind Nia, poking her head out to gaze at the Medusa within the trap, saying softly, “How does this ugly fellow have such a lovely voice?”
“Angelica, you should hurry and go back. We have other things to do!” Nia frowned involuntarily when she saw the young female elf look on with a face full of curiosity.
“No, sister Nia let me stay with you. This is much more fun than being at grandpa’s.” Angelica smiled sweetly at Nia and shook her head, speaking shyly.
After Han Shuo made his way over, Trunks took out the magical core and the precious blood that he’d retrieved and handed it over to Han Shuo. “I’ll keep ten drops of the Medusa’s blue blood. You can split the rest with the others.”
A small bottle filled with the Medusa’s blue blood was stored within a crystalline, white vase. That and the Medusa’s magical core were all shoved into Han Shuo’s hands. Grasping the items that Trunks had handed over, Han Shuo asked, “How much blood does Odysseus need to fully recover?”
“I think five drops of the Medusa’s essence blood should be enough to help Odysseus fully recover. The essence blood has a miraculous effect. Not only can it increase the recovery speed of injuries, but it can reconnect separated limbs. If one’s arms or legs are broken, the essence blood of the Medusa will allow the limbs to reconnect and grow without affecting movement in the future. Therefore, the Medusa’s essence blood is very precious.” Trunks looked at Han Shuo and solemnly explained the preciousness of the Medusa’s essence blood.
Nodding, Han Shuo also took out a medicine flask and poured out half of the Medusa’s essence blood and gave the rest of the bottle along with the level one magical creature core to Aphrodite. He said, “These items belong to you guys. Split it up with them after this is all over.”
Pulling the slightly panicked Angelica behind her, Nia looked a bit oddly at Han Shuo, like she was a mother hen protecting a small chick. “Han, are you still begrudging what’s just happened and planning on taking revenge against Angelica? Angelica has a noble status amongst us elves so I suggest that you don’t make trouble for her. In addition, I won’t allow you to do anything to her.”
“Anyone with smiles on his face is no one good, that’s what grandpa told me. I feel very perturbed by his smile, he must not be anything good.” Angelica, behind Nia, glared at Han Shuo and proclaimed.
Shaking his head with a rueful smile, Han Shuo said to Nia, “Just what are you thinking about? I need Angelica to help me with a small favor, if she’s a wind mage.”
Nia let out a sigh of relief after hearing Han Shuo’s words, turned around to look at Angelica peacefully and said with a smile, “He’s not a bad guy. You were casting wind magic just now, what level wind mage are you?”
“I’m only a journeyman mage, so I can’t fly. Don’t tell me to get that fruit, I’ll fall!” Angelica squealed as her slender calves wobbled, her body floating into the air.
She was holding her breath and her tender, small face turned red from effort. She seemed to gather all her strength and took two ferocious steps upwards into the air, then fell down to the ground with a clatter. She spread her hands at those assembled and displayed a powerless expression. Her performance just now had been to tell everyone that she truly couldn’t, and that she would fall down like this.
“Eh, I just need you to cast the journeyman magic ‘Grim Wind’ in a moment. Was there really a need for you to prove your ineptness?” Han Shuo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at this bizarre little elf.
Sitting up abruptly from the ground, Angelica dusted off herself and stuck out her small chest, saying proudly, “So it’s just the Grim Wind spell? I, Angelica, promise to help you. What do you need me to do?”
Trunks and everyone else gathered around Han Shuo at this moment with looks of curiosity, waiting for Han Shuo to respond.
Han Shuo’s face was solemn as he stared deeply at Angelica, saying lowly, “In a moment, as soon as I leap off from a branch, you must cast the Grim Wind spell at me immediately. Remember that you must cast it when I push off, and be sure to grasp the best timing.”
“Han, are you really planning on doing this? The force from the branch’s velocity won’t be enough to support you to the other side of the swamp. Even with the aid of the Grim Wind spell, it’s still quite unrealistic. In addition, the Grim Wind Spell will only increase your speed in flying away, further decreasing your chances of grabbing the Fruit of Dagmar. I highly recommend finding another way!” Trunks frowned as he looked at Han Shuo, attempting to convince him.
Shaking his head, Han Shuo’s expression was resolute as he said to Trunks, “No need, I wouldn’t do so if I wasn’t fully assured of success. All of you be at ease, I have other methods as well.”
After saying these words, Han Shuo took out a tent amidst everyone’s surprise and slashed several times with the Demonslayer Edge in his hand. The tent ripped apart, Han Shuo then moved steadily and took out some durable rope to wrap around the tent.
After a while, Han Shuo stopped his movements and said with a smile, “I’ve created a simple tool. With the aid of this tool and the help of the Grim Wind spell, I am confident that I can pass through this patch of swamp, and under the conditions of slow speed!”
“Han, what kind of strange device is this? You say it can help you cross through the swamp? I really don’t believe it!” Aphrodite looked in confusion at the item within Han Shuo’s hand and said in disbelief.
“This is called a hang glider and it can do it.” Han Shuo picked up the simplistic hang glider that he’d modified from a tent and slowly crawled up to the tallest and most thickly grown tree on the side of the swamp beneath everyone’s disbelieving eyes
“Have you really decided?” Although Trunks still didn’t quite believe it, he was unable to penetrate all of the miraculousness of Han Shuo, and thus he didn’t continue to try to convince him. He only asked for one last time after seeing Han Shuo crawl up the highest part of the tree and grasp the tensile, pliable branch.
“I’m ready, are you ready Angelica?” Han Shuo nodded and asked the beautiful elven maiden, Angelica, in the distance.
Angelica nodded proudly and said with great confidence, “No problem, you can start!”
