Chapter 368: Learning Two More Types of Gas
I think I got the gist of kicking technique. I also learned footwork like the ostriches did, and also the usefulness of intimidation just by raising my hands. If I have weapon in my hands, the effect might be doubled. Coming here is worth it.
Now, with ten ostriches left tied up to different trees, I will practice my air magic to induce hallucination like the trees from the Mysterious Forest. Spot said that depression is easily visible by their reaction, but I want to try other types of gas as well. But for now, let’s try one by one.
First is the calming gas. I already can do that, so it was easy. The ten ostriches that were screaming and kicking the trees trying to escape, are now calmed down. This type of gas is easily learned for me. Maybe because the calming and sleeping gases are similar. But the two can be combined to get a good sleep.
I tried it on myself once before, and I promise to not use it on me again ever! Though after the cult is destroyed and everything is over, I want to have that kind of sleep again.
Well, that’s the white leaves tree one. Next is the second gas that I can use among seven types I found in the Mysterious Forest. The green leaves that gives happiness. Which will make everyone who inhale it turn happy.
But how do Vicious Ostriches show their happiness? Through kicking? Or maybe jumping around. Let’s see if it works on them.
I used the happy gas on one ostrich, and it suddenly stood up and jumping around while making a funny voice. Is it how it shows happiness?
.....
I know that I can use the happy gas. And the ostrich’s reaction means that it worked. I’ll try it on another ostrich if it will react the same way.
The next ostrich I tried on also reacts the same way. That’s how it shows its happiness. I don’t know what kind of happiness they are reacting to, but it must be something amazing for the ostriches.
I guess I won’t train these two gases anymore.
Next is the depressing gas. Just calling it like that makes me depressed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI successfully tried it once on the fake... Harold’s son in Arturo previously. I will try it again and this time, to the ostriches.
Spot said that they will bury their head into the ground if they are depressed, so it will be obvious if it works or not.
The ostrich I targeted is different from the previous two as I’m trying to find when the effect disappears.
I’m trying to use the depressing gas, but I don’t know if what come out is the same gas that I wish for or not. After all, air is invisible. Even with my Divine Vision, I couldn’t see it clearly.
I could see some dirt or unknown object floating in the air, but not what type of gas is in the air. It’s just makes it harder to see if my air magic work or not.
I used the calming gas at first because I could see clearly if they reacted. The effect of the calming gas shouldn’t disappear anytime soon, so it will be obvious if my other type of gas will work or not. But the one I used on didn’t react at all.
Then, I tried it on all the other nine ostriches including the happy ostriches. And I succeeded in making two ostriches buried their head to the ground in ten tries. That’s just twenty percent chance of success.
Let’s try this gas until I succeeded in using it one hundred percent. After I succeeded in it, I will try other gases. It will take some time until Kayla and the others arrive at Cassau after all.
I’ll practice until my mana run out today!
And it took me two days until I finally have a hundred percent of success. All ten ostriches are now burying their head to the ground. It’s kind of funny seeing them like that.
I used the calming gas so they can get out their head from the ground and catch some breathe. I also give some food for the ostriches. I don’t want to find other ostriches at the moment.
But the greatest improvement I made so far is not the depressing gas, but the calming gas. Now, I can use calming gas just a little to breathe it in myself to not make myself lost my cool.
I was shouting in anger as I keep failing, and when I think of using the calming gas on myself just a little, I’m back to normal. This will be useful when I’m or someone else is panicked.
Now, three out of seven gases were learned. Next is... which one should be the most useful? Sexy hallucination, something that makes you angry, something that scares you, or something that will make you kill anyone in sight?
Everything is useful. Though I don’t know about the sexy one. Victoria seems happy with it. But I’m not with what she’s seeing.
I guess next is angering gas. I’ll just call it infuriating gas. If I used it on my enemies, they will lose their cool. Imagine if they gathered together, and I spread these gases. They will fight each other.
As for gas that makes people killing each other, I think that might be difficult. After all, I can’t imagine what they are seeing to the point that they are trying to kill each other, other than anger or hatred.
Although they seem similar, they are vastly different. Victoria would attack me furiously when she was angry. But her attacks were predictable. But under the trees with black leaves, she would attack me with cool mind. She would use any means to kill me.
Well, the former intent to hurt me, but the latter want to kill me. I’ll figure this one later. For now, the infuriating gas.
This time, the chances are lower. One every twenty times! Which makes it... five percent.
At least it worked. And the ostrich I targeted then shouted angrily at me, or the ostriches close to it. Is it a shout or a chirp since it’s a bird?
Anyway, just as the name suggest, Vicious Ostrich became vicious after inhaling the infuriating gas. That’s wrong. In fact, they became more vicious after inhaling the gas.
This time, I trained in this gas for about a week. Now it feels like these ten ostriches have become my pets. Delicious pets. I raised them to be eaten. Wait, that’s livestock. Not pet.
I succeeded in using this infuriating gas on all the ostriches with a one hundred percent success rate. I can do many things with this gas.
Maybe I’ll try to create chaos in the capital of Arturo with this gas? No, I’ll do that later. I guess I will inform Albert first that I can do it so he will think of a plan.
Well, now that it has been a while, they should arrive anytime soon. I’ll go back to Cassau now.
...after butchering the ten ostriches. I feed them well, so these ostriches should be more delicious than the previous ones I killed.
“Spot! We’re going back to Cassau!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI shouted. These past few days that I’m here, Spot has been flying around somewhere to fight other monsters. I told him that he can go back to the sea, but he refused.
“Oh, we’re back already? Good, I’m bored.”
“Then you should have return on your own. Let’s go.” ????????????????????????d. c????????
I opened a portal and before I enter, I throw all the ostrich’s meat into the fridge in our base. Once Lina should have been there with the kids. I missed her cooking.
I returned back to Cassau, and greeted the kids. Hannah is jogging around the city trying to build some stamina, so she’s not there to greet me when I return.
I just played with Daniel, Lana, and Alan until Kayla and the others returned.
They returned the day after I came back.
“Welcome back! How’s your journey?” I asked.
“Nothing worth mentioning. The monsters are just the same one and we didn’t feel any kind of growth at all individually. But we tried to improve our teamwork, which is nice,” Kayla said.
“That’s good. Teamwork is important. So, Shirley and Angela, how long will you stay here? And how do you want to return back to the capital? Should I use portal? Or you want to ride on Spot’s back? Or treat it as training and return there on foot again?” This time, I asked Shirley and Angela.
“We’ll stay here for a while and return with your portal. I think the people in the capital can’t wait to see the winner of the tournament right away,” Shirley said.
“Okay then. Enjoy your vacation. Sara, when do you think you can start teaching?” I asked Sara this time.
“I can start teaching as soon as possible,” Sara said.
“Then next Monday, I will give my last lesson. You can start arranging your class for the week after.”
With that, I can start training in Monsters World as much as possible.
I hope nothing happened when I’m gone. It takes some time for Sonia to travels between two worlds, so it will be too late if there’s an emergency.
