Chapter 127: Award-Worthy Acting

Tian Ling turned back and looked at the group. His face was twitching and didnt know what to say. He invested too much in this hunting trip and gained nothing in the end. While he was lamenting inside, Quinn arrived at his side and grabbed his collar.

What the hell were your men doing? She questioned him angrily. Quinn was mad as hell. He knew Tian Ling would target Miles and encouraged him to join anyway. She thought Tian Ling wouldnt dare to act against him when she was present. But Tian Ling disregarded her presence and attacked Miles anyway. Even though Tian Ling never ordered or attacked Miles, the way his men acted forced Miles to a bitter end.

Tian Ling freed himself and looked at her with anger. What did they do? He asked, and continued, They were running away from the monster and only your stupid man stood where he was. Isnt it normal for him to be alone while he stood where he was while my and Mihrs men escaped from the dreadful monster?

You are gonna pay for this if anything happens to him, Quinn said and walked with others to the edge of the mountain.

Lucy! She said, and Lucy nodded. Her powers surrounded their group and all felt gravity was hardly affecting them. They jumped over the cliff and leaped from rock to rock. In no time at all, they arrived at the base of the rift.

Tian Ling, Mihr Orril, and some of their men also arrived with some other means. They searched around and found a human-shaped silhouette in the dark. Mihr Orril created a light sword illuminated around, and they approached.

There Miles was lying on the ground injured. The electric sword was at his side with many cracks. Quinn ran to his side and checked on him. After feeling his pulse she sighed in relief.

Tian Ling approached and looked with his eyes like saucers. He couldnt believe Miles survived the fall.

How! How can he be alive! He shouted in his heart, but he couldnt do anything anymore. He wanted to take the sword lying beside Miles, but Quinn grabbed his arm with great force. This is the second time you tried to kill my man. Dont think you will get scot-free from this. Quinn said and kept the sword. Miles woke up at that moment and looked at Quinn.

Tian Ling looked at Quinn with fear. He knew Miles would tell her what had happened in the cave and how he forced Miles to die for him, but still, when he heard it from Quinn, he felt a shiver.

Where am I? Miles asked with great difficulty.

Dont talk. You fell from the cliff, and you are injured. I will take you to the stronghold. Quinn answered and they all left. Tian Ling could only gnash his teeth and curse inside.

Miles, on the other hand, could hardly suppress his laughter.

When he was forced to the edge of the cliff and was about to fall down, he forcefully grabbed the rock and saved himself from falling. He stood there and planned his next move. He couldnt climb up once again, or Tian Ling would try to kill him once again, but he couldnt go down either. The cliff was too steep to climb down. He waited there then got a brilliant idea. He discussed it with Coin, and Coin agreed to it too.

Coin, can you charge it please? Miles looked at the grey orb in his hand. There were a pair of wings inside, looking glorious. Miles wasnt sure if his guess was correct or not, but if it was, this orb would be a game-changer.

Coin charged the orb, and a grey orb melted in his hand. The liquid formed a pair of wings and attached to his back. Miles felt a slight pinch on his spine, then in his mind appeared two new limbs. It was a marvelous feeling. He willed it, and wings flapped. Miles started to float from the ground.

It is awesome! Miles looked at the ground and felt so excited. He could fly!

Seems like wings have an anti-gravity element, allowing you to float and with its size, you can use it to actually fly. Coin analyzed it.

Perfect! Miles exclaimed. The battle axe had a gravity element making it heavier when clashed, and wings, oppositely, were reducing the gravity.

Miles flew randomly to get used to the feeling. He was always a fan of flying but using his own body to do it was much better. After testing the wings for a while, and flying around. Since he couldnt come to the stronghold as Marooner in the risk of getting caught, he couldnt bring the monster artifact with him. He drove to the Lonely Cave and buried the weapon for the time being before he arrived at the stronghold.

He returned to the stronghold as himself. At the entrance, Tian Lings men were still looking at everyone and doing identity checks. When Miles walked, he was stopped by a group of people.

Show your identity. One of them said sternly. Miles looked at them before walking by without any care.

Bastard, stop or I will attack! The same person said, but guards from the stronghold ran from afar.

Sir, do you need any assistance? They said to Miles while looking at Tian Lings goons with stink eye. Even Miles got surprised when he saw the guards, but then realized it must be Quinns order to protect him. After all, Tian Ling tried to kill him. So guards must be ordered to defend him when they are near.

Does the commander know about this? Miles asked as he pointed to Tian Lings men.

She has been informed, but no order given to us, Guard said.

Alright, at ease, Miles said and walked to the stronghold. Since guards rushed to protect him, Tian Lings men didnt dare to attack him again.

Miles walked in without any problem and walked to the Dimensional Device.
