Chapter 746 No Gift Is Useless
Lief's Devourer's bracelet hummed and shook violently as dense strands of Vylkr energy erupted from his right arm, enveloping his entire being. He unstrapped his Gearweaver sword, the gears within the blade shaking violently as they absorbed the dense Vylkr energy surging through it.
And without hesitation, Leif's body surged forward with insane speed, his voice trailing behind him, "I'll kill him!"
Baddum!! Baddum!!
Various thick strands of Vylkr vine energy erupted from Leona's and Carl's Devourer's bracelets, enveloping their entire bodies. Like Leif, they unstrapped their Gearweaver swords and surged forward to attack.
Boomm!!
A wave of powerful nature energy erupted from within Lyndon's body, and a dark sky-blue aura covered and enveloped his entire being. This caused Lyndon's hair and leaf-crafted attire to flutter violently as though they were being blown by a strong wind.
Lyndon gritted his teeth in anger, attempting to run forward and stretch his hand to summon his glyphs. However, just as he was about to do so, a firm grip tightened around his arm and dragged him back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTurning his head to the side, Lyndon stared at his elder sister in confusion.
Isadora's nature energy erupted with a slightly darker sky-blue aura, enveloping her entire figure and causing her hair and leaf-crafted attire to flutter in the wind.
A small snowy-furred beast peeked its head out of her leaf attire as if sensing the change in atmosphere. Lazily retracting its head, it went back to rest.
"Let me go, sister; I want to kill him myself," Lyndon said with a scowl on his face, his glaring eyes fixed on Isadora.
The intense dark sky-blue aura that had enveloped Isadora's entire figure abruptly vanished.
She shook her head and sighed in defeat. "I understand how you feel because there are so many levels of pain I also want to make him experience. However, we cannot do anything right now and will only get hurt. So, the only thing we can do now is watch," Isadora said, her voice sounding dull and emotionless.
She fixed her intense, unwavering gaze on the man's figure and curved horned blue-skinned woman in her view.
Hearing Isadora's words and seeing her intense, fierce expression, Lyndon felt a shiver travel up his spine.
He nodded in understanding and quietly withdrew his aura, shifting his focus forward to observe the unfolding scene before them.
….....
Above the Second Border City, Sura, Ursa, Gina, and Fifi gradually glided through the sky, supported by Ursa's gift through the air.
Sura, Ursa, and Gina were dressed in beautiful strapless crop tops, each in a different colour - green, purple, and black - perfectly matching their attire. Their short thigh skirts were tied around their waists with knots at the sides.
And just the rest, Fifi wore a blue strapless crop top that showcased her abs and muscular build. She paired it with a black attire that hung down to her knees, giving her a unique and stylish look.
The four women were heading towards the Village, with Sura intending to meet her parents and inform them that she wouldn't be around for the upcoming festival. She would be busy caring for the children and helping her sisters handle several issues within the Second Border City.
She had asked Ursa for help, knowing that her gift of flight could help them leave and return as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Gina and Fifi saw it as a chance to return to the Village and visit Anara and Grace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"When I awaken my gift next year, I want it to be as cool as yours," Gina said, her smile bright as she twirled around in the sky, her eyes fixed on Sura.
Sura chuckled in response. "Well, if you want to be a strong warrior, you'll need a destructive gift much more powerful than Orion's so you can effortlessly defeat the Vylkr vines," she replied, lightly smiling.
Gina nodded solemnly in response. "I understand. However, if I could choose, I'd love to awaken a gift like Fifi's so I could handle the Vylkr vines from a distance and protect our family simultaneously," she responded firmly.
Fifi chuckled lightly at Gina's determination. "Each of us has a unique role to play, and our gifts are tailored to fulfil those roles by Naka," she explained, shaking her head. "For instance, with my gift, I can provide water to the Village from a dried-up well, and Greta can heal life-threatening injuries, saving many villagers and warriors from death. It was her gift that saved Orion's life," she added.
Ursa and Gina nodded in understanding, having heard the story before. Gina even experienced it firsthand.
"What if I don't awaken a useful gift?" Gina asked, her worried gaze fixed on Fifi.
She was aware of individuals who had awakened seemingly useless gifts during their awakening ceremony and how they were often treated as though Naka hadn't seen fit to bless them with a valuable gift.
Though it was less overt than the treatment of women with voluptuous bodies, it was a prevalent issue that showed no signs of fading away soon despite the growing influence of Prismerion culture in the Second Border City.
As for the Village itself, Gina inwardly shook her head in defeat. After all, there was a reason why Orion had placed the Prismerion race in the Third Border City and left the Second Border City as a bridge for the two places to meet. It turned out that forcing two distinct races with different cultures upon one another wasn't ideal. Instead, it was best that only those eager and curious to experience the other side willingly took steps to do so.
Also, though it wasn't that obvious right now, after living in the Second Border City for several months, Gina could already see the emergence of a new culture between both sides within the Second Border City.
Fifi smiled upon hearing Gina's question. She briefly shifted her eyes to the side and noticed Sura's clenched fist, prompting her to exhale deeply. "Isn't that the best, then?" she responded.
