Chapter 8: Facing off against the casper

A some kind of liquid is dropping on the soiled ground, a grunting could be heard, then the sound of sniffing. All of this belong to the casper, who was roaming the forest like a wild animal.

After a while, it smelled a familiar scent. It was the scent of Ingrit. Smelling the scent, it didn't was any time turning around. Then it saw Ingrit standing outside of the forest, the place where he entered the forest from.

Ingrit got to that place by flying over a route, which was at the west corner of the forest. After completing mastering his skills, he scouted the area near the tall forest. After scouting for a while, he found a pathway which leaded to the other side of the forest. It was a safe path for him to get the other side of the forest without getting noticed by the casper. And it actually worked. He was able to get to the spot where he entered the forest from safely.

It was as though the beast was smiling seeing its prey. Since the forest was full of trees, it would be hard for the casper to flying through the forest. So, It opened its maw, and ran towards Ingrit at full speed on its feet.

Ingrit just stood there, calmly. For some reason he wasn't afraid this time. Instead, his face was brimming with confidence.

After few seconds, the casper almost reached near Ingrit. Then, the moment the beast took another step towards him, his feet suddenly got stuck to something, which prevented him from going any further.

The thing he got his foots stuck in was like a thicker version of spider web. The web was completely crimson red. It covered all almost 40 centimeters of the area in the forest.

The spider web was a trap laid by Ingrit himself to entrapped the beast in it. After getting here first thing he did was use one of his extra abilities called ' Red Spider Threads ' , which cost him 3,000 coins, and laid the threads to entrap the casper.

It was a kind of sticky spider threads ,which was sticky enough to even entrap the giants, which also known as Colossus'. Though, there was no way for Ingrit to know if the threads could actually entrap a colossus or not since they went the extinct a long time ago. This was something the system told him.

Anyway, getting stuck in the middle of the threads made the casper unable move its feets. It was struggling to set its feets free from the crimson red threads, but no matter how much it tried it couldn't free its feet at all.

Perfect.

Ingrit thought with a grin.

Seeing the beast failing to set its feets free from the threads made one thing clear to Ingrit. It was that if the casper, which seemed to be very strong, couldn't pull its feets out from the sticky threads, then it meant he could use this against those possessed human, the ones who have been given the small fragments of Ultimate's power.

But soon he began to doubt that. Because, that beast was not intelligent. So, it was no effort at all for Ingrit to lead it to his trap. But, on the other hand, human was intelligent. So, no human with enough braincells inside their head would fall for such an obvious trick.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Anyway, with a smirk on Ingrit's face, he said:

"You are doom."

Then, he placed his right hand above his left one, then he began to manifest his sphere of dracid while keeping his eyes opened. The light of the purple color sphere illuminated Ingrit's face, which looked very mesmerizing.

After a while, he completed manifesting it, then threw it with his right hand at the casper's face. It was a precise straight to face shot. Right after connecting with the casper's face, the improved version of the sphere made a huge explosive impact, which shook the beast's brain, and made it fall on its knees.

But, it was still breathing even though it was severely wounded. If it was any normal human, then they would have died instantly after getting hit by one of his improved version of the sphere.

Though, Ingrit had accounted for that. So, he had already manifested a second sphere right after releasing the first one.

Then, he threw the second one again at the casper's face, which upon contact, made an explosive impact. This time the explosive impact sent the casper's head flying by at least more than half a meter, killing him in the spot.

After that, the headless body of the beast fell on the ground with a thud, and spluttered the soiled ground with its red blood. Thus, the hunter became the hunted.

It was over. Ingrit's nightmare finally came to an end. Few windows appeared before him:

[Congratulations: You have slain Casper]

[Reward: You have received 20,000 coins]

[Your current amount is 30,000 coins]

[Congratulations: You have unlocked a new ability called ' Incineration ']

[You have leveled up]

[You have obtained 10% power of Dracid for unlocking ' Incineration ']

[You have obtained additional 5% power of Dracid for improving your ' Sphere of Dracid ']

Seeing those windows, Ingrit was relieve knowing that he had finally slain the monster. Now, he could finally go back to his own world.

It's over!

Thinking that he sprawled on the ground.

Ingrit made a lot of progress today. For instance, he finally managed to overcome using 2 spheres of dracid a day. He had used more than 5 spheres today including the practice time. This miracle was only possible thanks to fatigue removal potion.

Now, he didn't have to worry about getting all drained out after using the sphere. He could simply use the potion, and survive long-term fight.

But, still he can't just always rely on the potion's help. He needed to built enough stamina to manifest more than 2 spheres a day without getting much exhausted. With sufficient amount of training, he would definitely be able to built enough stamina to produce 2 spheres a day. After all, the system was doing its best by providing him with the right training to get him in shape.

If he trains regularly he will get in shape in no time. But then again it wasn't a matter of 'if'.

Because, he had to participate in training everyday no matter what, otherwise he would suffer penalty.

Ingrit was finally comfortably sprawling on the ground. He stared at the amber sky, and then closed them.

I think I need to drink a fatigue removal potion. After using two of my improved version of spheres of dracid, I am feeling heavily tired....Are you telling me I have to fight monsters like the casper everyday from now on?! Man, that would definitely get tiring.

Then, a sound echoed in his head. Hearing that he opened his eyes, and saw a notification window before him.

[Notice: You don't have to fight against beasts like casper everyday. This kind of fighting will only take place every 2 months]

Reading that text, he sat up with an ecstatic expression. Knowing that he didn't have to fight against beasts like casper everyday put him in ease.

After that, he requested a fatigue removal potion. He then uncapped the flask when it appeared in his right hand, then drank it.

[You have completed your first day of training]

After that, Ingrit got teleported to his room.

The room was dark. So, he left his bed, where he seemed to be sitting, and turned the light on of his room.

I am really back to my own world.

He thought that as he looked at the night sky through his window.
