Adventures Of A Goblin

"rumble..., rumble...."

I would have loved to continue testing out my powers, but my stomach isn't agreeing with me on that.

Going on for seven to eight days of earth's time without food, is honestly an incredible achievement.

I make my way out of the successor room and through the lit passageway to go and get myself something to feast on.

with the internal strife called hunger, I still had the strength to sprint myself through the passageway.

My newfound speed allowed me to cover a distance that took me five to six days when I was heading to the successor room, in just hours now that I am going back.

Even if I was walking then, it sill doesn't cover up for the distance I just breached through.

Now back in the flowing river of lava where I Killed the giant lizard.

I can resort to using the first method I used to cross it over, but now I want to try something else.

I traced my steps backwards a little bit, then I focused my eyes on the other side of the flowing lava.

Took a deep breath in and out before sprinting forward.

When my leg had gotten to the edge of the floor leading into the lava, I directed my weight into it and pressed it down on the floor before leaping myself high.

What I had just done, was jump over the flowing lava.

I wanted to see if it was possible for me to jump across it with this small body of mine, and truly, it was.

I am going across the lava now with my body in the air.

If it had failed, I would have relied on thorn erection to save me..., ho, I just remembered I no longer have the thorn erection skill.

When I had almost gotten to the other side of the flowing lava, I folded my body and rolled it towards the edge, then I thrusted my leg forward to catch my fall, with my hands opened wide.

A perfect landing if I must say.

'Oracle'.

[yes master].

'I forgot to ask earlier but, what did you do to my thorn related skills, I do not see them on the skill board and am wondering how I am going to use them if they are not there...'

'or is it the same as the Meta Strength skill where it is a necessity for me to physically possess it as a spiritual entity'.

[no master, your thorn related skill is not a necessity for spiritual entities].

[i synchronized all your thorn related skills into one and evolved it to becoming the unique skill Vine Elemental].

'that makes more sense. I am guessing the sand Elemental skill must be an upgrade of my dust Manipulation skill'.

[yes it is master].

'what about the activation procedure and its effect after using'.

[the skill can be activated the same way master does it before, or by simply thinking of it].

[as for the effects, it will be for the best if master tries it out himself, I believe you will understand better than me explaining it to you].

'alright, if you say so'.

Oracle telling me to test the results for myself must mean it's something awesome?.., can't wait to see what it looks or feels like.

I turn my back and faced the flowing lava, this is the best place to try it out because it is an open space, unlike the cramped passageway.

I held my hand forward, and thought of using the Vine Elemental skill.

I pictured the vines coming out from my palm and surely, it did.

The vines that came out, were in the form of woods with little thorns on all its sides.

It really is beautiful if I must say.

Seeing the vines still coming out from my palm, an idea surfaced within me.

I raised my hand up above the ceiling, controlling the length and movement of the vines coming from my palm, getting it longer and spreading it sideways.

It did not take long for the ceiling to all be covered in vines, starting from where I was down to the other side of the flowing lava.

"this....., this is really amazing".

I detach the vine from my palm and watched in amazement.

looking at the vines spread across the ceiling, I raised my two hands up with my palms open wide, then I clenched it fast and brought it down.

As if it was responding to my actions, the vines on the ceiling abruptly lengthened themselves to inside of the flowing lava.

"astonishing.....".

I said as I watch the vines going into the lava while still maintaining their form.

I had expected it to burn because common knowledge dictates that wood elements are weak against fire elements.

The thorns I was using before was also an attribute belonging to the wood,

Against fire it proved to be very weak and useless until I reinforced it with a ton load of mana.

The vines however were not reinforced with mana and yet did not burn when it made contact with the flowing lava.

I did use mana in sprouting out the vines, but the mana I used was within the average amount of mana needed to create something of this effects.

'Oracle, is there a reason why the vines are not burning away when it made contact with the flowing lava'.

for times like this, Oracle my newly evolved skill from known-knowledge is the suitable source of information to ask.

[the vines are not succumbing to the lava due to the nature of mana with which they were made from].

'nature of mana?..., is there something wrong with my mana'.

[master's mana composition is centered solely on fire attribute].

[whatever is produced from a mana composition centered on fire attribute will always have the fire immunity attribute].

'so the vine isn't burning because it now has the fire immunity as well'.

[yes master. If the vine was made from a mana composition of water attribute, it will possess the attributes relating to water, same applies to if it was made with any other mana composition attributes].

"hmm..., is this supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?.
