Chapter 3848: Magical and Military Feats (Part 1)
Lith looked up and noticed that practice only made the triplets faster and more reckless in their aerial maneuvers.
“Fine. Falco! Lenart! Teryon! Slow down, or I’ll reforge your armors without the ability to fly.” Lith said and the triplets begrudgingly obeyed.
“The Voidwalker armor is really cool, big brother, but I prefer flying on my own.” Aran landed with the grace of a falcon. “My flight spell is faster and more precise.”
“Indeed, but it also takes focus and consumes your mana.” Lith replied. “This enchantment allows you to cast your spells while you run away in case of emergency. Also, don’t underestimate me, little brother.
“Try using your flight spell in combination with the armor’s floating enchantment.”
Much to Aran’s and Leria’s surprise, the Voidwalker armor reduced their weight while the streams of air magic increased their speed and maneuverability. It also created an air blade in front of the children, shielding them from specks of dust and flying insects and creating a slipstream effect.
“This is so cool!” Aran became faster and faster until he upset his stomach.
His lunch worked its way up to his esophagus with increasing vigor, forcing Aran to land before the uprising reached its predictable ending.
“This has never happened with my flight spell.” Aran took long and slow breaths to regain his composure.
“Because you never went faster than your body could handle.” Lith replied as Leria joined them, her face greener than a Dryad’s. “Thanks to the enchantments, you can fly as if your mana core were one level brighter.”
“Really?” They asked in excitement. “Did you add it to your armor as well? How fast can you go?”
“It doesn’t work for me.” Lith shook his head. “My mana core is too strong. The floating effect would make a negligible difference for me and takes space in the power core that I can use for something better.
“You guys, instead, have a deep green core. This kind of enchantment is so effective only because you lack the mana and mastery to take care of the fine-tuning by yourselves.
“If you keep practicing magic diligently, once you reach the cyan core, you won’t need the float enchantment either, and I’ll change it for something better.”
“I see.” Leria nodded as her stomach settled down. “Thank you, Uncle Lith.”
She and Aran took flight again and went to help the triplets. Thanks to all the practice with Vastor’s tattoos, the adults were getting better on their own, generating air currents from their hands and feet to stabilize their trajectory.
“Will our armors fly as well, Uncle Lith?” Fenrir tugged at his pants, staring at him with literal puppy eyes.
“You are asking the wrong person, pumpkin.” Lith replied. “Selia?”
“Maybe.” The huntress replied. “But if they do, I’ll get mine first. I can’t let this little rascal run away in a direction I can’t follow her. Also, I want the armors equipped with tracker spells to find my children.”
“You are underestimating me, Selia.” Lith said while the young Fastarrows whined in unison. “All my armors have trackers.”

Later, that afternoon, Lith, Solus, and Ripha returned to the tower to reset the imprint on the old Scalewalker armors and upgrade their enchantments before handing them to the Fastarrows.
“There’s something I don’t get, Mom.” Solus said as she and Lith used the tier one Creation Magic spell, Dismantle, to recycle the materials of their old prototypes. “Our quasi-flight enchantments are nothing big.
“You are not the first ones, believe me.” Lith and Solus needed to practice Creation Magic just as much as Menadion needed to craft a modern power core to hone her outdated skills. “You are just the first true mages who put it into practice.”
