Chapter 41
Three shadows appeared from among the trees with astonishing speed, flying through the air as if they were nothing!
Suddenly, I saw the shadows on the screen pulling something that looked like a stick, and a red light shot out from it like a fast arrow, hitting our vehicle and causing powerful sparks.
"Who are they?"
"
Kayyan asked in a frightened voice.
"The Black Shadow Organization," replied the man in the silver mask coldly. "Damn!"
A fierce air battle ensued. The man tried to maneuver skillfully, dodging the successive attacks, but he was outnumbered. Red lights shot out from the attackers' sticks and pierced the side of our vehicle, destroying it.
Boom!
The side of the vehicle was torn and almost detached, and I could see the forest and the river below us, and I laughed. It looks like I'll be back to my beautiful river soon. My beautiful means of transportation.
I heard screams from behind. I turned around to find two of Kayyan's companions falling out of the vehicle along with pieces of metal, blood flowing from their bodies. The temperature inside the vehicle rose, and one of its wings caught fire.
"Damn it, the vehicle won't hold!"
The man in the silver mask shouted as he tried to steer the vehicle toward a denser area of trees.
A strong gust of wind rushed in from the torn part of the vehicle. There was no time to think, I shouted loudly, "We need to jump!"
Kayyan replied quickly and nervously, "I'll die if I jump from this height!"
I looked at him for a second and wondered why I had advised him to jump in the first place. Wasn't he the one who explained my body to me earlier? Damn him!
I jumped without caring about Kayyan and the others.
I fell through the air, and the trees approached me at a terrifying speed.
I wasn't afraid of falling. After all, my body would regenerate. If I died from the fall, it would be my good fortune. If I remained alive, it would be a bad thing.
Regenerating my body while impersonating Thayron would make them notice my identity and the man in the silver mask might come after me to capture me.
At that moment, I thought of several possibilities for the current situation and decided to quickly use magic in secret.
The skill I used was one I had learned from a book I bought years ago. It was called the "Wind Movement."
The "Wind Movement" skill allowed me to control the flow of wind around me to create a force that pushed something or someone forward.
This time, I used the "Wind Movement" skill under my falling body to create a repulsive force from the ground that softened the impact of the fall.
Boom!
I fell to the ground with a thud. The fall was painful, but the trees and my magic softened the impact.
My use of magic is still weak, and I blame no one but myself for not learning from a teacher or going to an academy to learn magic, so I suffered damage to my body and pain in my head.
I raised my head with difficulty to find the vehicle descending from the sky, followed by a trail of smoke announcing its fall.
Boom!
The vehicle crashed into the ground with tremendous force, followed by a loud explosion. I felt a sharp pain throughout my body and lost consciousness for a moment.
...
...
"Thay...!"
..
..
"Thayron!"
I didn't realize how much time had passed or what had happened until I opened my eyes with difficulty. I saw Kayyan in front of me, unharmed, as if nothing had happened to him.
He stood there, his robe untorn or affected by the fall from the vehicle that had fallen from the sky earlier, looking at me nervously.
