Max started wearing it, and got stuck midway with his wings as expected.

“oy Lucy, help me out, pull my wings inside those cuts. “

Lucy was secretly laughing her lungs out, but nevertheless, she helped Max.

As Max eventually had the robe on, he sighed.

“fk, this isn’t a long-term solution.

Simulator, is it possible to retract my wings?”

In the future, Max will be forging his own custom-made equipment, but for now he had to wear anything useful he finds.

What if he gets some metal armor next? How will he wear that?

[Ding, reporting to The Host.

You currently do not have enough control over your physical body to achieve such an action.]

Max expected as much. Thankfully, he was knowledgeable enough to know that one of his targeted evolutions for his pets will solve this problem for him. Max picked that evolution for the high state bonus and that certain unique but who thought it would play a role here.

But still, he had to confirm with the simulator, to be sure.

“Simulator will the ability {giant born} that gives cellular control solve the matter.”

[ positive.]

Max was relieved. Currently, he only has evolution plans for 3 of the crows.

Fire crow haiyer.

Wood crow louh.

Elementless crow Imlak.

Max planned these three because of certain abilities or skills that will prove extremely useful for himself, especially louh that will get an incredible lifespan ability.

While Imlak will be getting the {giant born}, after evolving into a giant ash crow, more importantly, this evolution is the easiest to achieve for Max, or at least it’s the easiest when the simulator is working.

Because that evolution requirements are :

First, to have no element.

Second, to learn four specific skills and have them all reach a certain mastery.

While others might find the second requirements incredibly challenging, Max finds them easy as long as the simulator is functioning.

As for the other crows, Max didn't have any specific plans yet, mostly because of their rare elements, but he also wanted them to achieve the best possible path, and for that, the plan to annihilate Kain-city is necessary.

Max opened the simulator and started reading as time passed.

..................

Two days later, it was the day of the departure to Kain-city.

Max is currently still sleeping, exhausted from all the flying practice.

After these two days, he can somewhat fly without injuring himself, but he already gave up on being an expert at flying.

He chose the lazy approach, deciding to find one of those special flying skills for his crows and have them practice it inside the simulator.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

And surprise ^ now Max is an expert. ^

Still, for now, he has to settle for average as fk.

Max woke up stretching.

“oy Lucy, wake everyone up, we're leaving. “

Walking up stairs, Max received no response, although he didn't think much of it.

“also, bury this place down. “

This time, he also didn't receive a response. As he walked to the surface, he felt weird.

Lucy doesn't always respond, but she always performs her tasks on time.

Looking at the underground house still intact, Max didn't know what's wrong with Lucy, since he could feel her presence around.

“Lu,!

Lucy!. What are doing? “.

No response!.

Max was getting worried. “Simulator scan Lucy's current state.”

[Ding, reporting to The Host.

No scan is needed. Your pet is in perfect condition.

The pet mountain fairy Lucy is currently in a special state. As a quick explanation, she is currently learning or in an enlightenment state.

it is recommended to not interrupt.]

Max was stunned on the spot. He never expected to hear the two words enlightenment and Lucy in the same sentence.

Max was always aware of Lucy’s true potential.

Her innate ability allows her to acquire skills simply by watching them.

Given her capability to manipulate atoms, it was clear that she possessed the vision to perceive them.

With this remarkable power of observation, she not only sees a skill being utilized but also understood its underlying intricacies, necessities, and prerequisites, as long as she paid attention.

But most of the time, she's too distracted and playful to actually use it correctly.

Max just waited to see what kind of skill she'd learn.

..............

It was currently early morning, and Lucy was observing the formation of natural fog as water vapor condenses.

Then the plants releasing moisture vapor, which increases humidity of the air around them.

As the moisture increased, so did the fog density.

She felt that she understood something.

Soon enough, Lucy regained her thoughts as Max received a prompt.

[Ding, the skill Misty Mountain beached the perfected mastery and gained the effect ‘long-lasting fog’. ]

“huh? Not a new skill? And why does this effect sound so weak?

Show me Lucy's stats. “

[Ding. Scanning].

Name: Lucy.

Race: mountain fairy.

Strength: E.

Agility: E+.

Vitality: E.

Spirituality: E++.

Overall evaluation: E+.

Skills & abilities :

- [Mountain ruler]… - [wood aura]… - [blessed mind]… - [wind’s chosen]… - [Emerald water]… -[blessed]… - [dragon Vine].

2- [Misty Mountain :

-Skill rank: green

-Proficiency: perfected mastery.

. Allow the user to control a special type of mist mixed with spiritual energy having high concealment effect, going up to one rank above the user’s own.

. The Mist can enter a solid state and used to attack or defense, in this state, the consumption of energy is multiplied by 5 times.

. Long-lasting fog:

Even after you release the skill, the mist won't disappear immediately, but it can sustain itself over the surrounding moisture for a period of time.

“huh? “

Normally, when a skill or an ability reaches the perfected mastery, other than the special effect it gains, all other functions will be enhanced.

But sometimes, there is no enhancement, and this seems to be one of those times.

‘well, it's better than nothing. Plus, it was Lucy's own hard work. ‘

“Lucy, you awake now?".

'I am here’.

"about your skill, you did great Lu, I am proud of you.”

‘easy’.

Lucy didn't care about how Max knew. She was just happy being praised.

" alright, alright, just call the others. We are leaving, also destroy our previous house.

And take me to the peak, please.”

‘OK’

To avoid tiring himself out, Max decided to glide down from the peak.

Plus, for him now, gliding was more enjoyable than flying.

...................

Before long, Max was at the top of the mountain, with his pets by his side.

“all here, come closer, you too Lucy.”

Max put his pets inside the pet space in a blink of an eye.

As for the swarm of uncontracted, normal crows, Max just left them on this mountain.

If they were fine, then Max will come back for them someday, but if something happens to them, then just rase new ones when he actually needs them.

Max wasn't attached to those bunch in any way, and he just didn't want to deal with the inconvenience.

As for contracting them, Max didn't feel like it because it would place an unnecessary burden on his spirit.

Max closed his eyes, looking inside his pet space.

Inside, all the pets were flying around, confused.

Max thought for a moment, and a small sand island appeared for them to rest on. And he appeared on the island.

Of course, it wasn't actually him, but a mere illusion of him.

“guys come here and sit down.”

Lucy came down first, followed by the crows. They looked at Max inquisitively.

“you guys will be staying here from now on until I let you out. “

Max waved his hand, and a huge tv appeared, showing the real world through his eyes.

After that, a collection of board games, including chess, and similar titles, materialized before Lucy and the crows.

Although they weren't real, but to the pets, they were somewhat physical and can be used.

“alright guys, you can watch the real world as I move around.

Also, you can play games with each other.

Before I go, I have one good news to cheer you up. We're going shopping for skills to strengthen all of you.

Hopefully, we'll find some useful skills. “

Lucy and the crows were disappointed when they heard they will be staying here, but the moment they heard skills they instantly went wild.

Max left his excited pets and went back to the real world.

Looking down from the peak of the mountain, Max started running without hesitation and jumped out of the edge.

He started free-falling and, after gaining speed, he spread his wings.

Wooosh!

Max started flying straight, flapping only a few times to increase his speed.

On land, Max's speed limit is around 500 k/h, but now he is already at 600 k/h and still going faster.

Max relished every moment of the experience as he looked down upon the world, speeding up and feeling the exhilarating rush of the wind.

‘Whaoo faster.’

“huh? What the.? ”

Max was stunned by the sudden voice in his mind, only to realize it was Lucy.

“huh, I forgot you were watching, enjoy the show.”

Max started accelerating faster and faster, reaching His limit at 800 k/h.

“hahaha, with this speed, we’ll be there in no time.”

Max didn't think he'd ever be riding any type of vehicle ever again.
