Chapter 52 - Overlord Of The Elements! (1/2)

As Ark walked away from the group, they started moving too. The leader put Thufrat on his back as they left the scene. Ark just walked straight back from where he came. As soon as he had entered the forest, and was sure that he was out of sight, he turned back into his wolf form. As he once again stood on all fours, he felt at home. Even though he had been a human for most of his life, recently, he had gotten used to walking on all four. He still enjoyed his human form more though, having hands is nicer than you might think.

As Ark was walking leisurely in the forest, he decided to speed up and get back to his tree. The more he stayed in this world, the more he wanted to grow more powerful. Power was everything here, and Ark was starting to feel some urgency. Being able to protect what he wants was something Ark desperately wanted, especially after this incident with the lich. He didn't want to see his friends suffer because of his incompetence, or at all for that matter.

Since he traveled very fast, he arrived at his tree in less than half an hour, this time he didn't have to run with Thufrat on his back after all. As he once again stepped into his humble little home, he felt like this journey had been successful in the end. Sure, he got caught up in some serious trouble, and he had to join some mysterious faction that he didn't know of. But he achieved what he wanted to with this trip, which was to get help for his friend.

After sitting down inside of his tree, Ark started to ponder a little. He had been thinking about it for a little bit now, but he really wanted to get some more elements. Not necessarily for their power, but because of their utility. He was also just very interested in magic overall, and he would like to go as far as possible in the field of magic. He had no other interests after all, and it wasn't like the entertainment found in his old world existed here.

Now, the only problem he had was his body, would it be able to handle obtaining more affinities? He wasn't sure. He managed to get his fire affinity because of it's relation to water, intertwining the two elements into something new, but still managing to retain their original properties. Well, he would find out without trying, but before doing so, he decided to pull up his status screen once more.
