Chapter 7: Preparing a counter attack

Ingrit, placing his right hand above his left hand, and was trying to manifest the sphere while keeping his eyes opened.

Thankfully, the system had laid a barrier against the casper, which now allowed Ingrit to focus on perfecting his sphere of dracid. As a matter of fact, the whole point of this second phase of the training was to enable Ingrit to master his sphere of dracid, or so the system told him a little while ago.

So, he was hyper focused on manifesting a sphere. A little sphere was forming in the gap between his hands. It was vaguely illuminating Ingrit's face and hands. Though, the sphere was still unstable and flickering.

Never before in his entire life he had to stay focused like right now. At first he struggled a little, but then as he was more and more trying to create the sphere while keeping his eyes opened, he entered into a flow state before he even realized it.

His effort to manifesting the sphere was finally paying off. The sphere stopped flickering, and was becoming more and more stable with every passing seconds.

Instead of being happy, Ingrit's face was still calm, dead set on manifesting the sphere no matter what.

After a while, the sphere was growing between the gap of his hands. After growing till 8 centimeters mitres, it stopped growing Amy further. But, Ingrit got a little greedy, and thought of producing a much bigger sphere than that one. Because, this small sphere was hardly enough to kill that tough beast. So, he kept at it, and was trying to enlarge the sphere.

He began to feel exhausted, and also sweat could be seen dripping down from his body. Still, he wasn't about to give up enlarging the sphere just because he was feeling exhaustion. He thought if he didn't go beyond his limit he would never be able to grow as a power holder. So, he took a deep breath, and kept on going.

Then a miracle unfolded right before his eyes. The sphere was actually getting bigger. Like this, it got bigger by at least two fold. When it finally got 16 centimeters long, he put on a smile on his face.

Then he disabled the sphere, and sprawled on the grassy field. For the first time in his life, he felt like he had truly accomplished something. That fact made Ingrit feel extremely proud of himself.

Finally!....I managed to create a sphere while keeping my eyes open the whole time.

He thought as he was panting.

"Give me an fatigue removal potion."

He requested the system.

Then a small flask containing blue liquid appeared in his hand. After that, he uncapped it, and drank the potion.

In the next moment, he was feeling recharged. But this time something was a little bit different. Though, it was hardly noticable. He felt that unlike the last time when he drank the potion and felt completely recharged, this time he was still feeling a hint of exhaustion lingering inside him. He assumed maybe it had something to do with overusing it. The more he would use it within a day the less effective it would become.

[You have spent 5,500 coins on the exhaustion removal potion]

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

[Your current balance is 10,000]

Ingrit then sat up, and rose on his feet. His preparation was far from over. He still had to learn how to use his one other ability called wing of dracid.

But, before that he had to address a more pressing matter. And, that was to find some drinkable water. He was feeling very thirsty. So, to quench his thirst he started walking forward to find any drinkable water.

For a second, he wanted to ask if the system had any drinkable water stored in it. But, then he thought the possibility of it having any drinkable water was very low or zero.

Will I even find any drinkable water here?

He wondered.

There was no end of the grassy field. He kept on walking and walking but failed to spot any source of water. At one point he thought of giving up finding water. But still, his thirst was intense. No matter what he had to drink some water.

After walking for about half an hour, he came across an old and mostly a broken well. Finally, finding some water made him happy. He then went near the well, and fetched some water from within it with a bucket.

After fetching it, he first stared at it, thinking if it would be safe to drink the water or not. But, after staring at it for awhile, he just cupped his hands, then filled it with water, and drank it greedily.

After finishing almost half of the water from the bucket, his thirst was finally quenched.

Afterwards, he turned the other way, was preparing to use his wings of dracid.

He closed his eyes, and inhaled and exhaled the air for awhile, then opened his eyes again, looking very focused.

I know I can pull it off. So, let's get started.

He then began to channel his purple energy to his back. Then visualized forming wings on his back.

The purple energy began to envelope his back, and the energy was trying to shaped itself into wings. Though, it was still far from completely forming. But, for some reason he wasn't having any difficulty forming the wings like he had with forming the sphere.

After a bit of struggle he managed to form the wings. The wings looked very beautiful. The wings were purple color, which was completely covered with purple long acute features.

Ingrit locked back, and said:

"It formed rather smoothly."

But, the next part would undoubtedly be tricky, and it was flying. After taking a deep breath, he looked forward, and began to flap his wings. As he was flapping them, he heart began to beat louder and faster. He was a bit afraid of flying in the sky. Because, it was his very first try in flying in the sky. And, making a mistake was all but inevitable. After all, nobody succeeds in their first attempt.

So, if he somehow became unable to control his wings after taking off to the sky, it would mean certain death for him. And, that scared him a lot. Anxiety and fear was taking over his face.

But, he knew if he didn't take any risk he won't be able grow. So, he tried to suppress his emotions of fear and anxiety, and began to flap his wings faster.

"Fly. Fly. Fly."

He shouted, which looked as if he was trying to calm himself.

Slowly but surely, his feets began to take off from the ground. After few seconds, he was rising even higher. Like this he rose 50 centimeters from the ground.

Then, he tried to head in the direction of the forest with the help of his wings. But things didn't go well for him. He couldn't even stay 10 seconds in the air. Before that he fell with his face slamming against the grassy field.

"Aaaw."

He groaned.

After a while, he sat on his knees. He then touched his nose with his right hand. As soon as he touched it, it made him feel a sharp pain. Then he moved his right hand from his nose, and saw few drops of blood sticking on his fingers.

His nose was bleeding.

But despite that, he stood up, and tried to fly again. But this time was the same as the last time, he failed. Then, He again made an attempt, but this time was also the same. Like this kept on trying and failing.

Just when it seemed he was getting nowhere, he finally managed to fly properly.

Though he was still flying half a metre above the ground. But, it was undeniably a big achievement.

This time he was able to stay in the air for much longer, and he was, without falling, flying towards the forest.

"Heck yeah! I did it!"

He exclaimed in happiness as he flew towards the forest.

After some time, he reached near the forest, and landed on the spot where he fell down.

Then standing before the slope, he confidently grinned, and said:

" It time to utilize every weapon that I have in my arsenal and slay that monster."
