Percy then began the ultimate test for the shoes. He slowly went out of the porch and stood facing the camp's entrance. Percy began to run slowly at first. He reached and passed Thalia's tree, wait if Thalia isn't in there any more should it even be called her tree?
He reached the hill and activated his Speed demon perk causing and slowly increased his speed. He found himself zooming past Mountain country side as the wind hit him faster and faster. Percy smiled, he lived for moments like this.
But just then a bug flew into his nose causing Percy to stumbled forward in surprise and skid across the road rolling over himself.
Percy groaned as he shook the ringing in his. 'Note to self, when going at super speed always remember to close your mouth to prevent swallowing bugs.'
Percy sighed and slowly got up and walked to the side of the road. He leaned on a road marker and noticed there was a box open in front of him;
Defence - 122,980
Percy closed the box and took out the HNI again, he needed something to cover his mouth and nose so that he didn't accidentally swallow a bug or anything.
After a few minutes of searching he found the perfect object;
Lightweight retractable helmet;
It's base form is a single uniglass yellow tinted goggles. To activate the helmet simply press the Cadin industry logo on the side.
Warning! This helmet is for cosmetic use only, it is not strong enough to support injuries caused in accidents!
Durability- 5/5
It wasn't much, but it was something. Percy payed a 10 D and quickly got the goggles in a flash of light.
Percy then put away the HNI and looked at his new item. The goggles were made out of a single glass, wide at the edges and narrower in the center. The glass rested on a thick pad which looked comfortable and the strap looked metallic with strange runes around it. Percy could understand a few, due to his limited knowledge on rune, and he understood that the rune created a construct of sorts that would help form the lightweight helmet.
Percy put the goggles on and left around the side of the glass. Eventually on the left was a raised button which Percy pressed causing his the rune to glow forming a yellow helmet around Percy's head.
'This is so cool!' Percy said as he felt around. The construct was hard enough to prevent Percy's finger from slipping in, but if he tried hard enough he managed to bypass their defence and poke his head. It was like a layer of jelly around his head, it may not be useful in a fight, but right now it was just what he needed.
Percy turned to the road again and without a second thought took off at max speed. The goggles/helmet made things way easier for Percy. He could see more clearly now, without the wind constantly attacking his eyes forcing them to squint. And the best part is that all the bug outside were splattered on his helmet, which Percy promptly wiped away.
Slowly he reached the edge of New York And passed around Queen's entering Manhattan. He blew past the city causing a gust of wind wherever he passed by, lucky the city was not to full to notice him zoom past.
He then decided to take the I-80 Express and quickly got out of Manhattan. The highway was basically empty except for a few cars that looked like they weren't even moving for Percy.
Along the way a message popped up;
+2 for Vit!
'Guess I still can level stats up,' Percy thought to himself, 'but I am running from state to state so I would be surprised if they didn't level up.'
Percy had zoomed half way across the state of Pennsylvania when he noticed that his clothes had started to heat up. 'Oh great, what now?'
Percy got off the road and stopped inside a dense forest, the moment he stopped his clothes lit up in flames from the friction.
Percy quickly took of his jacket, shirt and pants and threw them to the side. He had completely forgotten about the fact that his clothes weren't friction proof. His jacket was fine, and so was his shirt for the most part. But his pants were burnt with a huge hole made near his thighs.
Luckily Percy didn't get hurt, he barely even lost a health point, thanks Physical Endurance skill. But this was a problem.
Percy opened up his HNI again and quickly searched the shop for an items that were friction resistant and after some searching while he stood in the middle of a forest in his boxers , he found one.
Skin tight Super Fabric leggings,
Ceramic dynami, reinforced ceramics created by Hephaestus,are in the form of tiny hexagonal plates placed underneath a layer of nylon to ensure added protection and reduce heat caused by the wearer. Originally created for God's to wear when training on their running.
Enchanted with friction resistance and fire proof.
Durability- 75/75
Cost -200
Percy sighed and pressed yes buying the pants. The pants appeared in a flash and Percy quickly put them on. They were a little big for him but he rolled up the legs a little and it fit him perfectly. The pants were skin tight, like the description said it was, and mostly black with white dots in the shape of hexagons everywhere.
Percy put on his shirt and jacket and took of, leaving the ruined pants behind. He soon was back on the road as he quickly passed Pennsylvania and entered Ohio.
It had been half an hour since Percy left camp, he had traveled at his max speed that was around 717 miles or 1,000 Km. The total journey was around 3,000 miles, at this rate Percy calculated he would have to keep this rate up for around a total of 4 hours, or in this case 3 and a half.
Soon however Percy's stomach startled to growl as his body began to tier. The demigod quickly pulled off the highway and stopped at a Mcdonald's near the highway. It made sense, Percy might have had pretty high stamina thanks to his Vit but that to had limits. When it reached it's limit it notified him with hunger and tiredness, which was similar to how his mana exhaustion worked.
Percy pressed the side of his goggles causing his helmet to deform and retract back into the band. Percy then lowered his goggles to around his neck and entered the fast food place. He found it to be nearly empty except for a teenager manning the counter;
Derek Morgan, sales boy
Lv- 5
Derek didn't even bother looking up to see who had come in, he was too busy typing on his phone. It was only when Percy was right at the counter did the lazy teenage even notice him.
