Chapter 22: WHAT IS THAT BLUE POWER?
After running for so long, they finally arrived in a rather large area like a small farm in the woods.
"What now?" Jieun asking in a state of exhaustion. She could see that the man in front of her was not at all sweaty and panting. It was as if he was used to that kind of drill.
"Stay behind me and don't interfere." Eun-Woo said in a serious tone.
The giant bird now arrived at the scene and stood silently watching the victim in front. The sharp eyes when looking at the two humans can definitely make anyone who sees being in a state of fear.
"Blue stone. Lend me your power."
Eun-Woo says something slowly while closing his eyes like he's focusing on something. Jieun couldn't catch what he was saying just now and just watched in silence. She wasn't sure what the man was trying to do at the time. Her eyes were only become round when she saw the man begin to change physically.
The man body is now surrounded by the blue light which making his hair which had always been dark brown, now turned blue. His attractive black eyes also now changed to blue suddenly. Jieun seem can't believe her eyes for the moment and gapes widely while watching the man transform.
Although she did not know what is the power she could feel that the man's aura was also different unlike before.
"What kind of power is that?" Jieun thoughts now become fuzzy. The blue light now is gone, but the man is still in the new appearance make Jieun feel a bit nervous.
"If you don't want to get hurt, you better find somewhere to hide."
"You're not going to kill the bird right?" Ask Jieun just to be sure. With the change seeing from the man she felt it was not impossible that the man was capable of killing the giant bird.
"Are you seriously concerned about that when you're just trying to save your life just now?" Eun-woo is a little flustered.
"Aaa…" With a stupid grin Jieun retreated from there not wanting to add to the man's anger again. She hid behind a tree that was near there while watching in silence.
"Let's see if my hunch is correct. What kind of magic stone did you encounter." Eun-woo said to the bird.
Of course birds will always be a bird no matter how big they are. It will never understand human language and become angry just by hearing Eun-Woo voice. The bird's eyes now suddenly became angry and it began to hover glazedly while making a strong wind.
The wind is so strong that it even makes Eun-Woo hardly try continue to stand. His leg now already standing in the broken ground. The ground is broken as a strong sign that he was trying to fight the wind by concentrating his leg power.
Jieun that nearby also trying hard to save her life by hugging the tree to make sure she did not fly away. She also finds it hard to breath as the wind is so strong and wonder if the man is fine with that.
"Windstorm. Release!" Eun-Woo then grabbed both of his hands and released a strong blue wind to fight the bird's attack. The attack turned out to be quite effective as the bird now falling backwards and fall down into the ground, even making the ground shake quite hard because of its weight.
In a moment the bird seemed to faint. Seeing that, as fast as lightning Eun-Woo ran closer to the bird to take a closer look at the cause of how the bird could be so big and now attacking them, whereas that type of bird should not be aggressive. It was then, he noticed there was green powder on the bird's body which was probably the main cause of the bird becoming large.
"Watch out!" Jieun warnings Eun-Woo from afar.
Eun-Woo, who lowers his guard for thinking that the bird has fainted suddenly being attacked by the bird's claws. Luckily for him the claw only hurt his hand. But he is now trapped inside it.
Eun-Woo tries to escape. On the other hand, he did not want to use his power because he did not want to hurt the bird too much. But, the bird is now gripping Eun-Woo so tightly that it's hard for him to move. The bird then gets up and stands with one leg, lifts his other leg that still gripping and trying to throw Eun-Woo to the ground in higher place.
Seeing that Jieun come out from her hiding place. With that height she felt the man would surely be badly injured if the bird had thrown him to the ground.
"What should I do?" Jieun become scared suddenly. She didn't want the man to die in front of her just like that without her doing something. After all, she is the one who started this problem so she is the one who should be responsible.
While in fear Jieun tried to be brave and held a rather long wooden twig and ran while screaming towards the bird. "Yahhhhhhhhh..."
The bird just watched her in silence as if also stunned by Jieun's behavior at that time.
"Is she ..." Eun-woo lost for words then.
Jieun hit the bird as hard as she can with a twig while saying, "Let him go Mr. Bird. Let him go! "
"That girl. Why is she so stupid?" Eun-woo says slowly but he can see the bird is now being disturbed by Jieun's actions.
After a few times Jieun hit the bird she finally realized that the hit didn't seem to make sense. The twig that she brought was also broken after making contact with the bird body that was solid like a rock. She then collapses in front of the bird and brace herself to wait for her fate.
"This is it." Eun-Woo no longer wants to waste time. He needs to finish this battle as soon as possible because he needs to immediately return to the castle soon.
"Aviation!" Eun-Woo once again let out a strong blue wind that this time made him and the bird to hover in the air.
"Wind, water and sky. Destroy the evil, make it reborn." After that, the whole area seemed to emit a bright blue light that made Jieun unable to clearly observe what was happening to the man and the bird.
"Rejuvenate!"
The clouds then started to turn black and suddenly it also rained heavily. Jieun now also soaked by the rain. She find it fascinating to see the rain that suddenly fell heavily while only a few minutes ago the atmosphere was just too hot. She checked the rain and as she expected, the rain was not an ordinary rain, but so cold and as if glowing with a hint of blue.
In the minutes that followed, the clouds began to brighten again. Jieun can see Eun-Woo, who was still floating at the time, but slowly he landed in front of her.
'Who are this guy actually? ' Jieun realize now that the man has far more extraordinary powers than the people in her village.
"Here." Eun-woo said while giving Jieun something. Jieun just stretch out her hand without much talk to take what is given.
"Huh? The bird? " Jieun look into Eun-woo's face asking for explanation.
"This bird is not evil, but there is something that makes it become bigger and threatened you before. I notice its leg is hurting by some thorns. Probably get while it was walking, maybe that's why you heard crying sound earlier. " Eun-Woo said softly as he looked at the weak bird.
Jieun also looks at the bird that is now in her arms. She could clearly see on one of the bird's legs there were some rather large thorns.
"I see. Poor thing. " Jieun feel sympathetic.
"Can you do something about that?" Eun-woo asks her.
Jieun knows now that the man did not intend to kill the bird since before instead trying hard to help.
"I'm trying something now." Jieun say as her doctor's intuition now is kick in.
Even if she doesn't train to be a veterinarian, she must strive to save lives, even if it's just an animal. Her fingers try pulling the thorns that are there slowly and carefully doesn't want the bird feeling too sick. She then takes the forest Aloe Vera nearby that happens to be there to be applied to the bird's feet as an initial treatment which is famous for anti-inflammatory effect and good for the healing process.
Eun-Woo at the time didn't watch the healing process, but monitors the place to see the destruction that is done to be reported on the royal gathering later.
Suddenly something happened, Jieun's hand that caress the bird wound at the time, let out a small white light and make the bird's wound close and heal, but the bird still in exhaustion.
Jieun clearly shocked. She continue to look at the bird. Although she was not sure what was going on she was sure the bird was now safe and not in danger anymore.
"What's wrong with me?" Jieun who was still in a state of shock watched her hand which now return to normal. "Am I hallucinating due to fatigue or what?"
"Can the bird survive?" Suddenly Eun-Woo returns. Jieun can see now that the man already in his normal self with brown hair and black eyes just like a person she know before.
"Aa... I think so for now." Jieun answer in a surprised tone. She didn't want to ask what was going on with her to the man. Fearing later the man thought she was faking or planning something again.
"I want to bring this bird back to my village. Is it okay?" Jieun ask as if asking for his permission.
"You can do whatever you want it's not my concern." Eun-Woo replied coldly.
Jieun make an unhappily face after hearing the man. Just then she thought the man began to be kind to her, apparently her thought were completely misplaced.
"Don't cause any trouble again. And most important don't come across with me anymore. I already done with you."
"How am I suppose to know we will cross path or not. Even this world is already big enough, here, I still collide with you out of all people. Don't ever think that I arrange this to be happening because I also doesn't want to meet you anyway. You arrogant man!" Jieun now explode.
"Word is just a word. Who knows what's inside your stupid mind?" Eun-Woo never want to lose anyway.
"You! Arghhh! I better talk to the wall than talking to you."
"Hmppph!" Both of them cursing each other in silence now.
Jieun reminded of something. She realized that she was very far from her village. Then she glanced at the man.
"Ahem..." Jieun lowered her ego a little as she was afraid of getting lost again.
"Do you know, from here, which way for me to get back to Hilleo Village?" Jieun make an attempt to ask politely.
"Aha... After all the insults, you still dare to ask for my help?" Eun-woo is not done provoking.
"You're the one who started first. You think I really want your help? If I found someone else here, I wouldn't ask for you."
"In that case, look for someone else then. Because I didn't want to help you this time. "
"Fine! Jerk." Jieun determined that this time she can find her own way. With that, Eun-Woo started walking away from her.
"Wait!" Jieun stop him from passing.
"What now?"
"You're bleeding." Jieun said, looking at Eun-Woo's bloody hand, probably because of the previous fight.
Eun-Woo watch his hand at the time, but decided to just ignore it. "This is not your problem." Eun-Woo says and went on his way.
Jieun pulls the man's hand forcibly then surprises Eun-Woo with her actions.
"What are you doing?!" Eun-Woo raises his voice clearly disturbed.
Jieun then took the handkerchief in her sling bag and tied it to the man's hand without much talk.
"I'm studying medicine and even though I really want to ignore you, I can't stand seeing someone bleed like that. It just occupation sickness. See a doctor when you get back in case you get infected. Goodbye then." Jieun then leave the man while hugging the bird.
