Chapter 51: Bloodline Skills
"Mia!! Are you ok?" Thea shouted as she rushed over to Mia.
Mia was shocked with how quickly Thea appeared next to her, realizing that Thea was much fasted than her, even when Thea was younger and when Mia mainly focused on agility. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
"I'm alright, just tired." Mia answered weakly, as Thea had started checking her body for injuries.
Although Thea had the capabilities to intercept the wolf, she had hesitated when she saw Mia in danger, instead of making a rational decision, she did the irrational thing and panicked, and Thea realized she made this mistake.
'I can't let something like that happen again.' Thea thought to herself, as she finished checking Mia for injuries, the thought of what could have happened flashing in her mind.
Lily meanwhile, had calmly walked over to the pair and saw her daughters worried, teary expression and sighed.
"Althea, I hope you realize, you could have easily helped her in case something had actually gone wrong." Lily said, trying to be stern and teaching her daughter something.
Thea raised her head from inspecting Mia for injuries and looked towards her mother with teary eyes and nodded.
Lily who saw her daughter turn even more emotional, understood she had made a mistake not comforting her first. Lily hated these rare moments when she saw her daughter upset, she gave up the stern act and walked over to Thea and gave her a big hug.
"Don't worry, I was ready to act if something would have happened. You need to make better use of your map." Lily said while embracing Thea.
"For the move I just used, it's called shadow clone. It's one of the skills that all members of my bloodline get, the other skills are shadow walk and shadow dagger. Shadow dagger forms a dagger from my shadow, and the dagger stays in physical form for 1 minute, as I raise the level, the duration, hardness and sharpness of my dagger increase. Now my shadow dagger skill is at level 2. You have seen what my shadow walk does already, at higher levels I will be able to move from one shadow to another instead of turning into a fog. My last skill makes a clone of myself, when I activate this skill I become invisible for 2 seconds, while my does what I was doing before activating the skill, the only downside of this skill is that I can't use it often and it uses a lot of mana." Mia happily explained, becoming even prouder of her skills as she watched Thea's amazed reactions.
Thea was genuinely amazed, she had briefly forgotten about her own skills but that didn't change the fact that she thought Mia's skills were impressive.
"Wow wait so that means you knew the wolf was coming?" Thea asked.
"Of course, my clan has trained me to sense bloodlust, and the Alpha Red Wolf was practically flooding bloodlust even when it was hiding." Mia explained.
"Fufufu, very impressive its said to be hard training to raise your senses to such a level." Lily said after listening to Mia.
"Mhh-hu, yeah, it wasn't easy. My mentor would randomly throw knives at me, while leaking the tiniest bit of bloodlust to train me." Mia said as she slightly shivered remembering the harsh training.
Both Thea and Lily who saw this and giggled seeing her reaction.
"Well, I'm glad you're ok, as I'm still punished anyway how about I make a delicious dinner tonight instead of just some roast meat. For now, as we know Mia's capabilities, let's start walking together." Thea said while starting to walk.
"Punishment, punishment for what?" Mia asked confused as she followed behind Thea, Lily next to her.
"Fufufu, you might have the pleasure of finding out in the future." Lily said with a smile while drooling a bit, thinking about the food tonight.
'Huh? Huuh?' Mia was even more confused with Lily's response.
