Stream of Air

Plane time baby. Nothing left to stop me!

Just before I head out, I top off on a few supplies just in case... a few snacks and mana crystals... then I'm good to go, this is going to be a Solo Mission as I can't really fit anyone else inside, there is only one seat after all and I don't want someone sitting on my lap blocking my vision.

I didn't even bring Scarab as it's very busy right now making more Nanobots, when it makes enough then I can get some ridiculous shit underway... but for now it's still producing units and gathering data.

So... let's get started.

Engine... on. Autopilot... on. Systems... engaged... and finally... engage flight.

With a loud rumbling that startled the Harpies, the plane kicked itself off the ground and began taking off, some harpies actually start attempting to follow me but are quickly left behind. I check around the outside of the plane from my cockpit, nothing unusual yet... I mean some of the metal is glowing purple but that's just a theme in my items.

That's when I hear an curling mechanical gear start twisting somewhere in the plane, luckily I didn't fuck anything up... and instead it looks like the Plane ended up sprouting massive black ribbons, also the breathing thing on my rifle seems to have started applying to the plane as well.

I'm surprised that Ribbons appeared on the Jet, they normally would decrease speed and such drastically but it doesn't seem to have an effect so far... so I guess we are good? Alright then, let's look for an Origin Base...

| Confirmed, Autopilot target created |

Good, I don't have to deal with a different voice in my head for auto pilot... whew. In that case I can just charge a spell up, sit back, and eat a few snacks. I got some jelly beans, pretzel sticks, and some jerky. Man, that reminds me... how is Ashley doing?

Did the Crusaders die or not? I haven't heard much information on that yet, so I can assume the best... or the worst. I like jelly beans, they are pretty good. Especially the Blue ones but I don't think it matters... Red or Blue, it doesn't make a difference overall... they still will be eaten.

| Origin Outpost #27 spotted, engaging bombing mode. |

Bombing mode?

| Autopilot will hover you around an area so you can unleash magic upon it smoothly. |

Oh good, alright then... let's send off a spell huh?

: Violent Blood 8th tier, Trenches of Verdun :

It's not worth a 9th tier spell, and 8th tier violent blood variation of blood marsh along with a few of my skills should be able to do the trick.

...

: Spell Complete. :

| Outpost destroyed, 62 killed targets. You have leveled up 2 times. |

Good lord why am I leveling up slow?

That should of sent me up at least 6 levels... this is nothing! Are they all low levels?!?

What's my current level!

| Level 22 |

Damn it.

....

What's going on with me? Something is wrong... my thoughts are all spindly and not coherent at all, am I tired? Thirsty? Am I sick? Guess it won't hurt to take a small nap when I get back, but I should probably destroy a few more bases. Exiting the ' Bombing Mode ' I begin taking manual control to just explore, the controls are a little stiff but I can manage. I see many small groups of players through the event area, most seem to be marching with their combat gear on... they don't look like Origin Soldiers, normally you can tell... but then again, there isn't anyway to make absolutely sure when your flying hundreds of feet above them.

I'll probably just leave them alone and focus entirely on bombing bases, I don't want to waste Mana... I only got so much to use after all, I even have to budget spells because I'm only level 22. My Mana content is super low, and if it wasn't for my modifications I wouldn't even be able to get a level 4 spell out. There is one thing I have to say though, this plane is really cool! As expected of me to create something like this, when Scarab gets fully online then I'll probably be able to mass produce these things. That makes me think though, why would I mass produce these?

Money probably, I mean I could probably sell one of these to a country for thousands and thousands of Star Coins, Platinum wouldn't even be considered for one of these. Hell, even Star Coins would be difficult to use in a transaction with a Jet in a primarily fantasy world. They would likely need to trade shit tons of rare items for it along with the Coins.

Oh! Another base, alright... let's see... there seems to be some sort of scuffle going on, looks like a few of our soldiers started raiding their base... well, let's provide a little air support!

: Feather Storm 7th tier, Razor Wing Typhoon :

There we go! A fucking Typhoon baby! Feather Storm magic is much more appealing in regards to how their spells look, it feels like it has much more impact even if it doesn't do the kills = more damage thing Blood Magic normally does.

: Spell Complete :

| 15 Killed targets, 78 wounded. Base destruction progress 67% |

Perfect, this should give a heavy advantage for our soldiers on the ground... they should easily be able to take out a few wounded soldiers... especially when I think they already outnumbered them to start with.

Now, let's just ' bomb ' a few more bases...
