Prime Originator

Chapter 488 - Faelyn's Voice

Shortly after Leon flew onto Silver's head and gave it some soothing pats to placate it, he began to ponder what to do with the Transcendent-level silver wolf.

Silver tilted its head and wagged its tails in response, "Awrff?"

Sometime later, Leon's eyes quickly flickered enlightenment before patting his forehead in exclamation, "The Hundred Beast Transformation Art! How can I forget I had such a technique?"

If the Hundred Beast Transformation Art can transform beasts into human forms, it naturally had the ability to shrink and enlarge beast bodies at will.

He was not expecting Silver to undergo a full human transformation, so there was no need to worry about the stringent demand for the Hundred Beast Transformation Art's mastery.

It was not possible without having high Divine Beast Cultivation and abundant Spirit Energy.

Silver was only required to shrink until it could pass through the gaps found in between the trees from the Great Forest.

Leon took out a half-depleted supreme-grade spirit stone and absorbed some of its Spirit Energy.

After channeling the power to the tips of his fingers, he pointed it at the three-tailed silver wolf's forehead and transmitted the Hundred Beast Transformation Art to it.

Silver remained still and accepted the information flowing into its mind willingly with simple curiosity.

Once the transmission was completed, Leon ordered, "Silver, quickly practice this technique and shrink yourself a bit."

"Awrff?"

Silver tilted its head further in response, not quite understanding what Leon was trying to get it to do. At the same time, its action nearly caused Leon to roll off its head.

However, he quickly grabbed a handful of its fur and stabilized his position on its head.

"It seems it would not be easy to get Silver to learn this technique right off the bat…" Leon smiled wryly, thinking he will need to put in some effort to teach it.

…

Elvengarde.

At the foot of the Elder Tree's vine staircase, Supreme Elder Haldir gazed down at the tens of thousands of elven warriors gathered before him.

The road before the only vine staircase leading up to the Elder Tree's crown was naturally the broadest within the tribe. As such, it was used to gather the elven warriors.

More and more elven warriors began to arrive at the main road before the vine staircase before they gazed back at the Supreme Elder, uncertain for the reason of their gathering.

"Hey, do you have any idea why we are gathered here?" An elven warrior asked after nudging another elven warrior beside him.

"Hm? No, I am just as clueless as you are. We were only told to come here and await the Supreme Elder's orders," The other elven warrior responded.

"I see… sorry to bother you."

"It's fine. Don't mind it."

Shortly after, the elven warriors returned their attention to the front.

As the sun began to set as nightfall crept closer, the wind's direction changed and started blowing northwards towards the Supreme Elder's face.

At the same time, the Supreme Elder saw the distant black smoke from the forest fire slowly inching ever closer.

Seeing as it would take a while before all the elven warriors are gathered in the tribe, Supreme Elder Haldir decided not to wait any longer.

"All of you might be wondering why you are all gathered here. The answer is simple. You must all learn how to fly by the end of today," Supreme Elder Haldir stated.

His powerful voice reached far and wide, entering the ears of all his listeners loudly and clearly before the large group of elven warriors quickly broke into a commotion.

The Supreme Elder wanted them to learn how to fly by the end of the day? Was that even possible? Or rather, could Wood-type Awakeners like them even fly?

Confusion and doubts were written over the faces of many. Only a few of the early returners in the tribe had witnessed the Supreme Elder flying previously.

At that moment, Supreme Elder Haldir had already retracted his vine armor and wings, reverted back into seeds, and stored away in his leather pouch.

"How do we fly, Supreme Elder? Please instruct us," an elven warrior said with the intent and willingness to learn.

Undoubtedly, All the elven warriors had seen the rat tide outside while fighting on the frontlines at the Great Forest's outskirts.

Regardless of whether Wood-type Awakeners can fly or not, the elven warrior was aware of what the possibility entailed—a greater chance of survival.

"You don't need to worry. That is what I am planning to do!" Supreme Elder Haldir assured before adding, "Now, take a look clearly! This is how Wood-type Awakeners will fly."

Shortly after, Supreme Elder Haldir demonstrated by instilling his Wood Energy into his magical vine seeds and proliferated them into a pair of vine wings attached to his back.

After leaves sprouted like feathers, the Supreme Elder was shortly lifted into the air with the first flap of his wings.

"Simple enough? Now all of you shall do the same." Supreme Elder Haldir ended his lesson after a single demonstration.

The elven warriors were quickly taken aback—not by how quick the lesson ended, but by how the Supreme Elder made it look so easy.

That being said, no one had any complaints about the lesson being too short.

For Awakeners like them, all it took was a single demonstration to insert the idea into their minds. What follows after is there ceaseless practice to master the skill.

"Understood, Supreme Elder!"

The elven warriors saluted in unison before they found their own space and began the practice of growing their own pair of wings.

"Feel free to ask me questions if there is something you don't understand." Supreme Elder stated as he watched them practice.

He could not be too irresponsible with his teachings. He needed them to know how to fly proficiently for the plan.

"Yes, Supreme Elder!"

The elven warriors responded.

…

Meanwhile, Princess Thessalia stepped foot into the guarded courtyard within the Royal Palace atop the Elder Tree's crown.

"Princess Thessalia!" General Paeris and the Elders shortly greeted the Third Princess upon her arrival.

"Un. I see you are all here." Princess Thessalia acknowledged their greetings before asking, "Did my sister went down to the Heart of Spring Chamber?"

"Yes, Your Highness," General Paeris answered respectfully.

"Thanks, I will go look for her now," Princess Thessalia stated, not thinking too deeply into why they were waiting at this location.

However, Princess Faelyn's impassive voice was shortly heard, "No need to look for me… I am right here, sister."
