Chapter 156 - The Wall
There was John, Serena and Ariel, soaring through the air, quickly gaining up on them.
Azure and his party members couldn't believe it, they were right behind them. They all had a dumbfounded expression on their face
The three were moving a lot faster than they initially expected, because of all the wind pressure hitting their face, john couldn't properly open his eyes and see where they were going.
So he thought, why not redirect the wind pressure? As they soared through the sky and quickly began to gain up on Azure, John started to manipulate the air inches away from their heads.
Instead of it hitting directly into them, he split it, redirecting it either under or above them. This generated even more speed than john had expected.
But thanks to that, they could focus on the objective and see what was happening, properly.
[120... no 180 km/h? It should take us less than 20 seconds at this rate but...]
Azure and his party seemed to be already near the finish line, 750 meters at most, seeing this, john increased the already fast speed by gathering hydrogen air behind them on their legs and using it to propel them even faster, he then ignited it.
*Boom*
Their overall speed increase and now that there wasn't any air pressure, they were moving unexpectedly fast
[Over 200km/h]
Azure turned once more to see what that explosion could have been, and in that instant, he locked eyes with John as the three passed right by him
It felt as if time was moving in slow motion as they exchanged looks, John could even see the excited look on Azure's face.
And just like that, John's team managed to pass Azure.
But now that they had passed Azure, john had forgotten the most important factor and that would be, how to stop. Hitting a wall head on by moving over 200km/h, that could probably kill him.
"Oi-"
[How do Sto-]
*Bang*
They crashed straight into the wall, even the dungeon wall which was anti-magic resistant, wouldn't be able to handle a non-magic impact from that much speed, and even cracked.
And just like that, Just like that, all three motionlessly fell from the dungeon wall to the platform which was on the other side.
Right before they hit the ground, Ariel used wind to make them fall without any damage and Serena helped by holding on to John with Ariel, at the same time, Azure's party landed on the platform.
"What happened?" Master Sylvia asked as she walked up to the three
John laid unconscious on the ground
Right before they collided with the wall, John cast a wind shield and so did Ariel to cushion the collision and at the same time he moved his body to towards the wall to take the collision, unfortunately for him the dungeon walls were anti-magic, so they dispersed the shield.
"John?
"John? Hey, answer me, John!?"
Ariel tried calling out to him but he wasn���t responding, seeing this, she quickly turned to azure's party.
"Serena, we need to get john a healer, now!"
"Yes!"
As the two were about to pick him up, john suddenly opened his eyes.
"Wha-"
"Eh?"
The two girls were confused, this boy who had barely started puberty took a 200km/h impact from them, and he was still awake?
"Si..Lentium..."
John then rotated his head and faced the floor to hide his face as he shouted inside of the small sound proof field he made around his head, so that no one could hear him
[Oh god... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts]
"... GAAHHH!!"
He shouted in pain, as loud as he could as no one could hear him, at the same time, he began constantly casting heal on himself.
"John? You're awake?" Ariel asked
"I guess it's possible for him to even survive that..." Serena muttered
"G-Get me... A healer..." John muttered as tears streamed down his face
He forgot to remove the sound proof bubble, because of that, they couldn't hear him, or see that he was trying to say anything since his face was facing the ground.
"W-We should go call a healer..." Ariel suggested
"R-Right?"
As the two turned to go call for help, they noticed that Master Sylvia was already quickly bringing them over.
Suddenly, John sat up and began rotating his body and back, a little bit of blood was also flowing down his head.
[I feel a little light headed.]
A small amount of steam could be seen coming out of where john was wounded in his body, mainly where there were cuts and blood.
His body also started to get hotter.
"John, you don't have to force yourself, the healer will be here soon, lay back down..."
"She's right john, if you don't lay down now, then I'll just have to knock you out."
John then got up in front of everyone, even the healer in azure's party which had just arrived
"Serena, you're supposed to keep the person conscious." Said John as he rotated his neck and shoulders
"It's alright, common sense doesn't apply to you."
"That's rude" Said John as he began to do some stretches in front of everyone
"John, what's happening right now? Why is smoke coming out of you and why do you look fine after that?" Ariel asked
"Fine? I'm not fine at all! Do you know how many bones I broke? I was crying in pain."
"Crying? You didn't make a sound... More importantly, where's all that steam coming from?" Serena asked
"Just a new spell thanks to that painful experience, usually, I'd never say this, but it might have been worth it."
Even azure and his party members were dumbfounded, the guy hit the wall head on, without any magic cushions, just how was he fine? They all continued to watch without interrupting.
"Now's not the time to be making jokes!" Serena suddenly shouted
"That could have been dangerous..." Ariel added
John who saw this walked up to the two and wrapped his arm around both of them before drawing them in as he said
"As long as you two are fine, that's all that matters."
Serena and Ariel then slowly pushed him away and gave him a chop on the head
"No it isn't, idiot!" Said Serena with bright red cheeks
"S-She's right!" Ariel added with also bright red cheeks.
"Wait... I'm not... re..cove..."
John fell over on to the ground and lost consciousness once more
The two were embarrassed by John's sudden manliness, and automatically reacted in that way, but when they realised it, they had knocked him out.
"Uh..."
Ariel and Serena then nervously looked towards the healer which was on Azure's team.
