Chicken Forms

Estimated time remaining until arrival at destination: 1 month, 10 days, 10 hours...

"Master, it's done. If you can find or acquire the blood of a Vampiric Blood Magic practitioner, let me know." Skully said as he left Jay's body and disappeared. Whenever he was in 'sleep' mode, he was imprinted on the red grimoire's cover page.

"I was expecting it to be longer, but to think Skully finished up in 8 hours." Jay thought to himself and tried to check any changes in his body.

"Holy shit! I have abs now?" Jay was surprised as he checked his body. He grew a bit taller, his muscles became well developed, and his five senses were enhanced.

"I wonder if..."

Jay suddenly transformed into his Vampire Chicken form. The moment he did so, he quickly tried out using chicken skills that were combined with Blood Magic.

When he used Bloody Featherstorm, Bloody Feather Mirage, and Blood Darts, there were a lot of changes that were similar to each other.

The feathers were now fully coated in dark-red blood. On random intervals, the feathers gets cloned, thus, creating even more bloody feathers. The best improvement Jay saw was that when the bloody feathers hit the walls of the Mind Room, they exploded in a small radius, covering a small area with blood.

"Perhaps I can use this to blind my enemies." Jay thought to himself as he touched the areas covered with blood. The strange thing was, the blood was as sticky as glue.

After a few seconds, every drop of blood suddenly returned to Jay's body.

"Huh? This is new. I should check the red grimoire later." Jay thought to himself and decided to try out his other chicken skills combined with Blood Magic.

The Bloody Egg skill still looked the same, but the odor it released became more disgusting. When Jay tried kicking the air, his claws became covered in a black mist and a red streak of blood followed.

"Hmm... is this like some kind of 'Life Steal' effect?" Jay thought to himself, feeling amazed by how his kicks looks like.

"What about..."

Jay suddenly tried running from one end of the Mind Room to another. When he did so, an illusory image of himself that was bloody red in color appeared on his trail. For some reason, Jay noticed that the illusory image grew in size depending on how long and how far he was running.

"Woah. This is just the Sacred Blood Magic stage huh..." Jay thought to himself and wondered if using Spirit Power while in the Vampire Chicken form will work.

He closed his eyes and tried to focus. For some reason, instead of a blue smoke covering his body, it was a red smoke. Behind him was an illusory image of a small and cute chicken.

"The passive buffs I get from just activated Spirit Power is not noticeable when I am in this form, how sad..." Jay thought to himself but felt even sadder when he saw that his Spirit Power form was a small and cute chicken. He still was lacking in his Spirit Power alignments so he cannot evolve it yet.

"I should start comprehending some Worldly Laws after I figure out how to create a 'Moon Chicken' form." Jay said softly. As he returned back to his human form, Hellson suddenly opened his eyes.

"Oh? What interesting thing have you thought of now?" Hellson kept his smoking pipe and stood up.

"I am trying to figure out how I can use my Moon Warrior skills while in Chicken Form. I think you know that it normally does not work." Jay said to Hellson as he stretched body, still feeling amazed by his newly developed muscles.

"I should ask the Chicken Lord for some pointers before I start racking my brain." Jay thought to himself and left the Mind Room.

...

"That's an interesting thought you have there." The Chicken Lord said after Jay filled him in with what he was planning.

"Do you know a way to make this possible?" Jay asked.

"Jay, what's up? What's this thing you and Big bro are talking about?" Nuggets asked hurriedly while humming some kind of happy song.

"Jay wants to use his Moon Warrior skills while in Chicken Form." The Chicken Lord said and told Jay to listen to short lecture that may or may not help him.

Before Jay put his focus on the Chicken Lord's lecture, he first asked a favor from Hellson.

"Hellson, can you fiddle with the Mind Room for a bit? Maybe discover some new functions?"

"What the hell do you think I've been doing this entire time?" Hellson said as he sighed. What Jay asked of him was actually what he was doing everyday when Jay wasn't talking to him or if nothing interesting happens.

After hearing this, Jay put his mind at ease and decided to focus on the Chicken Lord's lecture.

The lecture was actually just the same thing the Chicken Lord told Roasted Boar and Luna. Stuff about magic, skills, spells, and how magicka is the medium used in the Fatelord Plane.

"Shit. I should have told this to everyone else..." The Chicken Lord thought to himself and sighed since he forgot to say this lecture to the rest of the group. Besides Jay, Roasted Boar, Luna, and Nuggets, the rest were still in the dark about this topic.

"Everyone, I'm currently telling Jay a few things. Just continue whatever you are doing and try to listen since you might ask something about this topic in the future." After connecting himself with everyone's mind, the Chicken Lord continued his lecture.

"I'm going to talk about Worldly Laws now..."

Most of the stuff that the Chicken Lord said was just like what Jay and Hellson thought of back then. But there was something that the Chicken Lord mentioned that wasn't included in the book Jay and Hellson read back at Bevelona City.

"The Worldly Laws are graded into three categories. Obviously, the higher the grade, the stronger and better it is. But the higher the grade, the harder it is to comprehend. The three grades are; Incomprehensible, Elemental, and Common.

Incomprehensible Worldly Law is the highest grade there is. Its profoundness, complexity, and power are millions of leagues above the rest of the Worldly Laws, thus, making it incomprehensible. But since this is the case, there are only three Incomprehensible Worldly Laws.

The Law of Creation, Time, and Void.

Elemental Worldly Laws are usually the ones utilized by freaks of nature, like the Four Goddesses of Ashnakara. Its profoundness, complexity, and power is impossible for mortals to understand. As for the mythics, understanding the elemental worldly laws is possible. But if you want advice from me about this, don't bother with the elemental worldly laws. It's annoying and boring to think of.

The most common elemental worldly laws are: Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Metal, Lightning, Nature, Light, Darkness, and Space.

As for the Common Worldly Laws, these are anything and everything that floats your boat. No matter what living being it is, they are using the common worldly laws even if they do not know of it.

An example of this is the 'Law of the Chicken' that I, Jay, and Nuggets are using. In the Law of the Chicken, one must be able to understand and comprehend what a 'chicken' really is. You need to understand a chicken, feel what a chicken feels, and be a chicken yourself.

And the final thing. How will you know that you are being able to utilize a Worldly Law? I can't really explain this in depth, but you will feel a deep connection with the world if your comprehension about a worldly law is correct. And if you're comprehension is completely wrong, then you will feel as if your connection with something is cut off."

After the Chicken Lord was done speaking, everyone was trying to make the stuff they learned sink in deep into their thoughts.

"Then, is there a Worldly Law for the moon?" Jay immediately asked.

"The Law of the Moon. It is one of the hardest laws to comprehend, but is only graded as a common worldly law, if I remember correctly."

"How long was that lecture?" Jay quickly asked the Chicken Lord before he returns to the Mind Room.

"An hour or two."

"So, anything new?" Jay asked Hellson as he sat down in a lotus position.

"Nah. What about you?"

"I'm going to start comprehending a Worldly Law." Jay said casually as he closed his eyes and started thinking about stuff related to the Moon.

As for Hellson, he went back to the corner where he was lying down at a while ago and returned to his relaxation. Then after a few seconds, a random thought appeared on his mind.

"Just who exactly is the Chicken Lord? Why does it feel like he knows too much stuff? Is he hiding something from us?"

After getting lost in this thought for a while, Hellson decided to just doze off and sleep since Jay was still doing whatever he was doing.
