The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

I took a deep breath before concentrating on my hands which were shaped like a knife. Then I slashed at the empty air before me.

Unsurprisingly, As I slashed, from my hands came out water shaped like a crescent. Its edge, relatively sharp and as the water released from my hands it's 3 feet sized crescent form quickly went ahead.

The attack had good enough speed and as it hit the tree in front of it, the water cut it down without hesitation and went on until it cut six more such trees.

"Dam!"

"Bam!"

From the cut points, the trees slowly turned before all of them fell like dominoes causing some quakes.

I went closer to the trees and looked at the cut place. The water had cut through the dense tree cleanly without any problems. I smiled at my result.

"Water mastery, complete."

I lift my hand and see the pink Sigmat ring over my index finger and smiled. It's been a few days since I had worn the ring. Then every day, along with practicing my sword, I also practiced with the ring.

I tried out different spells with the ring until I was sure that I could use it quite well. I still haven't mastered it to the complete degree but I know that I'm somewhere close to 96-98%.

At first when I used the ring, it came at a few problems. The water would either blow up as I tried to make it or the direction would change and hit elsewhere besides the target. But after the initial few tries, I got the hang of it.

It all depended on one's will. If someone's will was strong and controlled, so will the effect of the ring will be too.

I looked ahead at the place where all the trees had fallen.

The spell I used was called Crescent Slash.

Well, it wasn't exactly a spell and more like the name of the attack. The things with Sigmat Rings were that, they didn't have any spell. You couldn't just conjure up a specific spell just by calling its name or saying its incantation.

The Sigmat Rings only conjured its own nature whenever it was used. Which meant no spell usage or cool tricks just by calling forth a surprisingly long spell name.

The ring only called sprang forth water and it was I the user, who would control its shape and direction. So the crescent attack spell I did earlier, it was me, who changed its shape like that, turned its edges extremely sharp and controlled the direction where it would head to.

But the speed of the attack and how big it could be made was all on the ring. If the ring's rank wasn't high enough then I wouldn't have able to make the attack 3 feet tall nor would it go so fast.

For example, If the ring's crystal was red, then I would have been able to only bring forth water up to 5 or 8 meters. Beyond that would be out of the rings range. But still if someone tried to make something even bigger than that, there would be 2 possibilities.

First the ring itself would explode because of the massive burden dealt upon it or Second, the situation extremely rare, the ring would actually call even more power but at the cost of the user's danger.

But that wasn't a problem for me, the ring I have is more than enough power for me. If I wanted, I could bring forth a river worth of water at my command and still the rings usage wouldn't be at hundred percentages.

Still as I said before, it would depend on me if I could actually will myself to call forth so much power and control it. If I couldn't then the best outcome would be me lying close to death above the great pool of water.

But if I could… I shook my head of such crazy thoughts. I may be crazy but not crazy enough to bring forth calamity for no reason and that too, close to my new house.

I steel my mind and slash at the air before me a few more times as water slashes went forth cutting off many trees. It was good practice and I was also cutting off the trees that my workers and wolves were trying to cut anyway.

I helped them with such a hard work… I know, I'm a nice boss.

"Sir!"

Turning around, I see two Wolfmen of relatively young age stand in attention. One of them spoke, "We found the kid."@@novelbin@@

A spark flashed in my eyes as they moved aside, showing me the child. It was a young boy, close to 6 or 7 years old. The kid wore decent clothes and looked around himself in fear.

The kid didn't know what was happening, he was walking through the dense forests of the Screeching Forest as he normally does. A place that is forbidden for him to do so but he still did and nothing ever actually happened to him… until now, when this two wolf like beasts came and captured him.

I look down at the kid and try to look as nice as possible, "Hey, Kid. What's your name?"

The kid looked at me, a bit fearful still but not as much with the wolves, "I- It's Cail."

I smiled, the name coming to recognition as the description too matched him. I wave at the wolves as they bowed to me before going away. Then I knelt in front of the kid, "So Cail, I've heard that a kid with the same name as yours knows something about this place."

"W- What do you mean, sir?" The kid gulped and the fear suddenly increased in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you." I smile, "Actually, I… do you know the mansion at this forest?" I said, pointing towards the mansion.

The kid nodded.

"You see, I recently bought the place and heard some rumors. I also heard that a kid named Cail could help me with that… so Cail, are you that kid?"

The kid, hesitated before nodding, "Ye- Yes sir, but I- I don't know much."

"It's okay, just tell me what you know and I'll give you a very special reward."
