VI Traveling with Friends

Returning to the camp, everyone was asleep even the horses. Feeling a little down, Elijah activated a tier 1 barrier around the camp and then he sit by the side of the fire and drunk a bottle of juice he had taken from his phone. In a few minutes he was already laying on the ground, drooling.

In the morning, everyone was awake and seeing Elijah's gloomy, face they looked at each other. They did not understand what happened with this fellow whose face always carried a smile.

"Where is Aryanna?" Zaid seemed to have realized that Chloe was not here as he involuntarily asked.

"She has returned to her clan, it's better if we do no speak about this." Elijah slowly said.

Then his eyes lit up before he asked to Zaid and the others. "What the three of you are going to do now? I still need to reach Riverfrost City to look for a flying beast before i go to the underground city."

"Then we can go together, as we could use the flying beast to return to the academy or help you with the mission, right? At least is better than traveling alone." Ava said, then Elijah looked at Zaid and Evelynne who had nodded to him.

"Okay, so we better get ready to continue our journey." Packing their things, they get up the carriage and this time, Evelynne was driving it and it only took a few hours before they reached to nearest town inside Kouzia Empire's land.

After staying for two days in the town, they left the carriage behind as they ran along the road that led to the Riverfrost City.

On the way, Elijah focused on the energy lake and asked. "Stormy, give me some help." Stormy flew from the lake towards him. "Of course master, wait a little." Almost instantly, he felt his body becoming very light, as if a sparks of lightning was flowing around his body, making him feel extremely comfortable and as light as a feather.

From the four fairies that lived on his Energy Lake, the lightning fairy was the one which give the most boost in speed and it consumed the lowest amount of energy.

While he ran, the grey vortex also accelerated, speeding up their absorption of the Energy from the air and making him reach Ava, Evelynne and Zaid who was a bit far from him as Elijah was back at the first realm and they were on the Middle Phase of the Second Realm.

On the way, Elijah chat with the fairies and after some time they were much closer than before. He had also asked if the spatial fairy could help him to teleport to Riverfrost City, but she said it was only possible to teleport in a area of thirty meters and that Riverfrost City was dozens of thousands meters away.

From dawn to noon, was more than four hours, and they had not stopped to rest. At this time, the sun was high above in the sky, and Elijah was perspiring heavily. Of course, running for 4 hours was nothing big for him, but the problem that he could not use Void Steps as his Master said that the Patron Gods of his friends could discover it, so he could only use the lightning element to run faster.

10 days later.

Elijah has taken several metal pots and ingredients like rice, beef, deer, bottles of spices and began to cook.

After those 10 days of travel, the four of them were much closer than before. For example, Elijah have taken the position of chef and was cooking for them on those few days and every time they eat Elijah's food, Ava and Evelynne would look at him with gentle eyes as they had fallen in love with his food and to say the truth, even Zaid couldn't help but admit that his food was really good.

They had also passed by several small cities but they didn't stay much time as they would leave on the next day. The sad thing was even on the city, they would't buy food and would make Elijah cook for them.

These past few days had served as a good training for Elijah, the unceasing use of his lightning element, allowed him to be a lot more familiar with the usage of his elemental energy, and he felt his cultivation starting to rise once again.

The only thing he could not stop thinking was about what Chloe said, as he didn't know what happened to her Clan or if the wolf called Fenrir was already released.

Elijah looked at the night sky and murmured. "It seems i still have a long way to go."
