Chapter: 210

Immediately Jay felt like he had been lassoed as his feet were pulled out from under him. The boots made his feet shoot forward as if they were tied to running horses, he was almost completely upside down before his head hit the ground and before he knew it, he found himself lying in a small cloud of dust.

“Dammit, what even are these boots? Is this a prank?”

He looked at the boots. They seemed to be fine and ready to go again.

Jay sighed “Hmm. I guess I can give it another go.” he shook his head “I bet Sullivan is laughing his ass off right now..”

This time, Jay prepared himself, knowing what the boots would do as he leaned forward.

“Ok… Askin.”

*Pshhht* “Oh, oh!”

This time he went flying forward for a moment, but the boots still had too much force and he ended up landing on his ass, sliding in the dirt.

“You bastards.” he cursed at his shoes before he got up, rubbing the dirt off his trousers and coat.

“Seems like I really have to commit…”

After waiting 10 more seconds, Jay prepared to give the boots another go.

“This time, I won’t just lean forward, but I’ll crouch and start falling forward. Right before I hit the ground, I’ll activate them…”

With his ever-so-detailed plan thought out, he tried it without much hesitation.

*Pshhht* “MMH!”

Jay went flying forward 3 metres, suddenly going from almost falling over, he shot forward. The boots caused him to finish standing up right. He did take a few steps forward as he wasn’t used to the feeling, but was fine after a slight wobble in his steps.

“Ok I see… damn, these are crazy…” he began to shake his head with a smile.

“10 seconds huh… Pretty decent cooldown I guess..” he wondered about how well this would work in a fight. “I guess It could still save me some time during a fight.”

Jay didn’t mind too much about the 10 second limitation; 10 Seconds wasn’t long in a fight, not a real one anyway, most fights lasted as much as 15 minutes, and this would be longer when fighting higher level monsters with larger health pools.

It was always people who never got into fights who thought that one second would be like an eternity; this wasn’t true in real life, and this much was clear to Jay after his various battles.

Generally, if a fight was over in less than 10 seconds it was because one person had used up all his energy trying to overwhelm his opponent like a mad idiot; the same person who was now easy pickings for a more experienced fighter who only used their stamina for necessary actions.

One would simply have to wait till the other guy tired himself out.

Of course, there were exceptions to this. With a strong class, a fight could be over quite quickly – though for Jay, he didn’t even have to lift a finger.

Jay practised the movement skill a few more times before he began moving down the hill. After a few more minutes and a few more bruises, he was able to use the skill without wobbling afterwards, finding the perfect time to activate it while falling forward. He even found that if he did a pushup and activated them, he would land on his feet.

“This is great, can’t wait to test it against the Helvetian soldiers. Maybe they’ll just surrender this time…” a mischievous smile appeared on Jay’s face.
