44 - Meeting the Face Stealer

One month later

Levi and Acnologia were atop a high hill overlooking a vast swamp, it stretched as far as the eye could see with no end. It was covered with trees and the air was damp, ‘It should be here.’ thought Levi as he used his enhanced vision to observe even the deepest parts of the swamp from where he was.

This was how he remembered Koh’s environment to look like from the show, it looked like the exact same swamp Aang had gone through.

Looking at his stats and abilities that leveled up in the past month Levi had a satisfied smile on his face, he now had more assurance to hold his ground against any threat that might come.

[Spirit body (Active/Passive) level 29:  ……]

[Divine armament (Active) Level 8: …]

[Spiritual bond (Active) Level 5…]

[Vitality +1]
[Stamina +1]
[Strength +1]
[Agility +1]
[Endurance/Willpower +1]

Levi had been flying constantly and working out during the past month, and that was enough to increase his stats as such.

Right now he could even manifest a full body armor from Divine armament and even he didn't know how many weapons there were in it now, so far he could manifest anything he wanted, he guessed that any further level up from now on would only increase its power and durability.

As for spirit body it had been leveling steadily ever since he got it, not showing any signs of slowing down, and if the pattern continued on repeating like this he should get a new ability at level 30.

He could now also manifest more body parts of the spirit animals he's bonded with and utilize their abilities better, he guessed that before long he would be able to completely transform into any spirit animal that's bonded with him, aside from that he now also has an extra slot for one more spirit animal that he hasn't used yet.

Taking a deep breath in to prepare himself mentally Levi turned towards Acnologia and crouched down to his eye level while petting his head, “You can't go with me this time alright buddy?.” asked Levi to which Acnologia protested.

Thanks to their shared link Levi knew exactly what he was trying to say, ‘You think Am not strong enough to fight the centipede?’

Levi couldn't help but laugh at that, he had been calling Koh a centipede repeatedly during their travels here and it seemed that Acnologia had picked it up from him.

Levi thought about telling him that it didn't matter how strong he was when he faced Koh, cause he would steal your face as long as you show emotion no matter your strength, but he scrapped that idea.

Acnologia was still just a kid and there was no way he could control his facial expressions like that, and he might just insist that he was strong enough that he could resist Koh’s ability.

“The opposite actually, I want you to stay behind to guard my back, I can have someone ambush me while I am not looking can I now?.” said Levi, deciding to go with that approach, and it seemed to work.

Acnologia stood tall and puffed his chest out, ‘You can count on me.’ he relayed, earning him a chuckle and a pet from Levi.

Levi was happy that he convinced the small dragon not to follow him and so nodding at him he jumped from the high hill he was on diving straight down before he summoned his wings halfway and flew just above the treetops.

Acnologia watched him from behind for a moment before jumping into the sky. If he was going to guard his friend’s back then the best way was to do it from high up so that he could spot all threats before they were even close.
