Chapter 1407: Aftermath
A gentle breeze brushed across her cheeks, giving them a pinkish hue. The fresh scent of damp trees filled her nose as she watched a flock of birds soaring through the sky. It was such a beautiful day.
"Lory, you are so heavy," Jay groaned.
"Lory, I can’t breathe, get up please..." Clift’s voice was muffled, half pleading.
Lory was lying flat on top of both Jay and Clift, her limbs sprawled, and her boots planted squarely on Clift’s face.
After the explosion, they had jumped from the plane. While everyone else used body-strengthening and protective spells to brace for the impact, Lory summoned the wind to slow their fall.
But no amount of magic could save anyone from falling that height without breaking some of their ribs and bones, even powerful gifted people, they couldn’t avoid serious injury, and for someone with weak mana, it would be like dropping an egg onto asphalt.
Worse still, unlike Fargo, Clift, Jay, and Lory, Samuel Albretch is not a gifted people, so he couldn’t cast any protection spells for himself. That’s why, in a moment of desperation, Lory summoned the Lucient Shield to protect them all from the impact and the result. A fairly large crater now sat in the middle of the forest.
"You know," Fargo said, admiring the size of the crater, "I was planning to build a hot spring about this big. You know what I can already imagine how how is gonna look like"
"Great. Are you imagining sitting on top of me too?" Stephan’s hot breath tickled Fargo’s ear.
Fargo yelped and flung himself to the ground, rolling away like a spooked cat. "Damn old man! How did you get behind me?!" He shivered, every hair on his body standing on end.
Stephan casually patted the wrinkle from his shirt and snorted. "Oh, please, this isn’t the first time you’ve sat on my lap."
