Born Without Magic… So What?

Chapter 12: Water Walker

He was afraid, but his facial expression changed when he saw them.

The male wolves were walking on water, while the female wolf monsters were moving a little above the air, walking through the sky as if they could fly.

Arya smiled because he knew it.

If he killed them, then he could get those skills.

Those abilities would help him reach the village much faster than walking.

Then Arya remembered something strange.

When he was still a baby, he had once used a flying skill and soared high into the sky.

But that skill had only been temporary, not permanent.

He could use it only once.

At that time, he thought he had obtained the skill.

But later, when he woke up, the skill was gone.

It was still a mystery how he had gotten that power.

Then one wolf monster rushed toward him.

Its red eyes glowed fiercely as it opened its mouth and tried to bite Arya.

The wolf leaped straight at him.

Before it could reach him, Arya did not dodge.

Instead, he stood quietly and smiled.

He slowly moved his hand forward, pointing it toward the wolf as if offering it. freёweɓnovel.com

He opened his fingers.

The wolf monster lunged to devour it.

But before the wolf could bite down, Arya suddenly thrust his fist deep into its open mouth.

Arya’s eyes turned cold, calm in the moment.

Then Arya used his fire skill.

Fire spread inside its mouth like sudden ignition.

Flames crawled through its throat, burning deeper and deeper.

The wolf’s body shook violently.

Its body got bigger like a balloon.

Its skin stretched tight, veins popping under pressure.

Then—

BOOM.

Blast, blood everywhere.

Red mist spread through the air as pieces of flesh fell into the river.

Seeing this, the other wolves suddenly stopped and stared at Arya.

Arya thought that after seeing one of their own killed in a single shot, they would run.

But they did not.

Arya did not care.

What he wanted, he had already gotten.

He used another skill.

[Predator Skill Activated.]

The wolf was instantly consumed.

[Successfully acquired: Water-Walking Skill.]

A smile appeared on Arya’s face.

Now his next target was the female wolf monster.

But he had killed only one of them. Still there were more than 10 members there, and all of them were now staring at him.

Their eyes slowly turned blood red, filled with anger and killing intent.

Low growling sounds spread across the riverside forest like warning before attack.

Arya’s expression changed slightly as he felt it.

This was not normal anymore.

They were getting serious.

And he had no time.

Already evening was falling. The sky slowly turning darker and darker.

Arya knew clearly.

If he could not reach the village before night, it would become dangerous for him.

So he made a quick decision.

No more fighting here.

No more delay.

Then he turned his body and started running toward another side of the forest.

Behind him, all the wolf monsters started chasing at full speed.

Arya activated the skill he had just obtained.

Walking on Water skill.

The moment he stepped near the river, his feet did not sink.

Instead, he ran directly on the water surface like solid ground.

Each step created small ripples behind him.

He moved forward quickly, trying to cross as fast as possible.

But suddenly—

Two wolf monsters jumped from both sides at the same time.

Arya reacted instantly.

He shifted his body in mid-air movement and narrowly dodged.

Both wolves missed him completely and fell into the water with a heavy splash.

But the chase did not stop.

More wolves were coming from behind.

One of them opened its mouth and released a fire attack.

A burning blast shot through the air toward Arya.

Arya kept running without even turning his head.

There was no time to look back.

No time to think.

His focus was only forward. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Survival.

And reaching the village before night completely arrived.

The fire blast passed dangerously close behind him, missing by inches.

Hot wind and water mist hit his back.

But he did not slow down even for a moment.

The wolves kept chasing louder and faster, closing distance step by step.

Arya continued running over the water surface, pushing his body beyond normal limit.

Then he finally reached the other side of the river.

The moment his feet touched the land, Arya turned back and looked at the wolf monsters.

He slowly rose a little into the air and stared at them with cold eyes.

Then he pointed his right hand toward them.

With his left hand, he grabbed his right arm to support it.

His expression became serious.

Then Arya shouted loudly.

Dark Fire Magic.

A black ball of magic suddenly formed in front of his right hand.

It was small at first.

But the moment it shot toward the wolves, it started getting bigger and bigger.

By the time it reached the middle of the river, it had expanded enough to cover all the wolf monsters and the water around them.

The dark magic swallowed everything.

The wolf monsters tried to use their magic.

But they could not.

They struggled wildly inside the black flames.

Their bodies moved desperately as they tried to escape.

But they could not move properly.

One by one, they started sinking deeper into the water.

Dark Fire Magic was a skill Arya got from the goblin.

It was not powerful like normal fire magic.

It did not burn or directly damage the enemy.

Its true ability was different.

Anyone trapped inside it could not use magic.

It sealed their mana completely.

The more mana Arya used, the bigger it became.

But there was one weakness.

It could not stay active for long.

That was why it was not useful in a long fight.

Arya poured almost all his remaining energy into it, making it large enough to trap every wolf monster.

Without their magic, they could only drown helplessly in the river.

Soon all movement stopped.

The river became quiet again.

Then Arya suddenly fell to the ground.

His body hit hard.

Pain spread through him.

Arya frowned and slowly stood up.

His body was exhausted, but after killing all of them, he received new skills.

Walking Air Skill.

This skill was similar to flying.

But it was not true flight.

It only allowed him to walk through the air as if stepping on invisible ground.

Arya quickly activated it.

He slowly raised his right leg and stepped into the air.

The moment his foot landed, it held firm.

Arya’s eyes widened slightly.

Then he took another step.

And another.

Step by step, he climbed higher than the trees.

When he reached high enough, he started running forward through the sky.

His speed increased greatly.

Now with this skill, he could reach the village much faster.

And he no longer needed to fight other monsters on the ground.

But Arya did not know.

At that very moment—

His village was already under attack by orcs.
