Chapter 575 So We Can Fly.

Ghaster's eyes widened at the notification when he fully understood what it means. He realized that Soverick is flying. One very important question came to his mind and he blurted it out.

"So we can fly?"

Here he was, walking on the ground like some fool while Soverick is flying. He didn't even suspect that they can fly. He tried to fly and gave up on it when he failed. Transcendents fly by pushing and pulling on the world with their solidified divine sense. All the competitors' divine senses have been shackled immensely and the world is bent on restricting them from flying so he failed in that attempt pretty quickly. He believed that killing monsters will empower him and allow him to fly so he gave up on trying to fly for now.

He chastised himself, "I should have tried an alternative. I shouldn't have given up like that. That's the difference between Soverick and me. He is a perfectionist. He is talented and he does everything perfectly but I don't. That means I have to work extra hard if I want to beat his talent."

He decided to try an alternative after chastising himself. Mana entities can fly too but they don't have solidified divine sense. They use the momentum of the world to fly by becoming one with the world. He decided to attempt that method.

The first step is harmonization with the earth, harmonization with water, and then harmonization with air. When that is done, you fuse all three together and harmonize your entire being with the world. You enter a state where your walking, breathing, and mana circulation are in sync with the rhythm of the world. That state is called being one with the world and it is very important to the third step of weapon mastery.

He has achieved the third step of weapon mastery thanks to his ancestral memories. It was difficult and he had to spend a lot of time in actual danger for his instincts and buried memories to surface. But he succeeded and achieved it much faster than others without a bloodline. He is engaging his ancestral memories right now. 

He closed his eyes and focused on sensing the rhythm of the world. 

He asked himself worriedly, "Why is this so difficult?"

He is trying but he is not having any success no matter how much he focused on it. He is failing at flying and he isn't even failing at the last step which is one with the world. He can't achieve harmonization with the air. It is the most difficult thing to harmonize with out of the three anchors of the world. There's no water around but it doesn't matter if you can harmonize with air. But he can't. If he can, he would at least be able to step on the air.

He grumbled and complained out loud, "Why is this world so different? It feels so alien. I can do this back home but not here. Something is different about this world."

His skills are still present and so are his ancestral memories but the world is still refusing to harmonize with him. It is now that he is beginning to notice that this world might not be the same as the real world. He was wondering what is off about this world when the second blow hit him.

It just kept coming. Each hit slammed into him one after the other without giving him space to recover. Here he is, still in the zeroth step and struggling with harmonizing with the air while Soverick jumped through power ranks like nothing. He even killed a 4th rank beast first. Not 1st, or 2nd. He killed a 4th rank beast at the zeroth step.

He roared his frustration to the world, "How is that fucking possible?"

His roar traveled far and wide. The monsters in the forest in his vicinity heard it. They didn't run scared like they did for Soverick. Instead, they thought to themselves, "There's a weak fool there. I should get him. Should be an easy hunt." 

Monsters from different directions began to congregate at Ghaster's location for an easy snack. He heard the movement of a large number of enemies before he saw them. His eyes widened in realization.

"Oh shit."

He realized that he has fucked up. He appreciates being ambushed as much as the next person. What he doesn't appreciate is a mass congregation with the aim to attack him. They may not be planning to ambush him but their number is too much for him.

He turned into a bolt of lightning and started to run away. His speed in this form grants him another advantage. It is rare for anyone to be able to catch up to him so escaping was easy for him to do. He left his pursuers behind and hid. He was hiding in a shrub when another heavy blow struck him.

It hasn't even been a minute since the last one.

He exclaimed exasperatedly, "Oh come on."

Then he quickly shut his mouth. He realized that he is hiding and shouldn't be making any noise. He waited silently and watched for any indication that he has been exposed. Again, he heard them before he saw them and they are a lot. He had to run again.
