Ery had not been visiting Killgragah for so period of ti now. The last ti he visited the dragon was before the Tournant started. Added with his severely wounded condition, plus all the prince and princess drama happening to him, it had been almost three weeks since his last visit.
Ery could only sigh and make his way over, as he had also been behind in his training.
It had been two months since his return from the academy and his spirit force had only increased from 193 (118) to 217 (142).
An increase of 24 points within two months might have looked and sounded quite decent, but not when the reason for this was only because he absorbed the Void Crystal.
In fact, 15 of 24 newly gained spirit force ca from the absorption, aning Ery only managed to increase his spirit force by 9 points in two months!
He believed his four friends could reach better results even without the help of the Khaos space.
With his current rate, Ery would even be considered extrely lucky to be able to pass the 300 spirit force mark before the next recall.
He couldn't imagine how he could reach the 500 spirit force mark needed to beco a rank 9 acolyte.
Hence, Ery had no more ti to waste. His awaited, long-postponed training had to start now.
Sohow, Ery had a bad hunch, a premonition this ti it would not be easy nor flexible for him to get in and out Khaos space as he wished.
Therefore, before he opened the portal to the Khaos space, Ery decided to prepare any necessities he might need, as he planned to spend a few weeks training there.
Ery prepared a substantial amount of supplies for himself, ranging from food, beverages and so on. He also decided to bring so unique and exquisite food and beverage for the dragon. He put all of those in his personal spatial storage.
Afterwards, he brought Morgana to the hill where the stone formation lay.
Morgana and so of the Fey actually knew about Ery's activity around the stone ruins and were suspicious about it, but they didn't know what exactly was going on with it. So of them obviously wanted to ask Ery about it, but they held themself back in account of the High Priestess.
Seeing the curious gaze she showed to him, Ery said, "Here is actually the place where I am going to train. I will spend a lot of ti here."
Ery had explained to Morgana about the dragon that helped him train before, but now he told her the location, so as to let her know where she should go to find him, if there was anything urgent that required his help.
One particular thing Ery was looking for was any information about ave, as the witch had been a thorn in his ever since. He told Morgana that if any new information ca up he wanted to know right away within the shortest delay.
As for how Ery was supposed to know what happened outside, there was a small window within the Khaos space that would allow him to know if there was soone looking for him and Ery assigned Morgana to be the 'soone', as only she knew about this.
Once again, Ery explained how important his training was to Morgana in fear that she would misunderstand him. Moreover, he promised the girl he would make ti to train her as soon as possible. As for now, it would be better for her if she focused on her studies with the Tutor.
Morgana carefully listened to Ery's words and nodded her head. Seeing that the girl understood, Ery swiftly opened up a [Spatial Gate] and entered the Khaos space.
After crossing the gate, Ery once again found himself in a dark corridor. He swiftly walked past it as he entered into a dark, open space. Afterwards, he shifted his gaze to the corner where Killgragah should be and bowed while saying,
"Ooh Supre Being, your humble subject has returned."
Ery waited for a reply while keeping his bow. Surprisingly, there was no reply even after several minutes of silence.
Because of that, Ery imdiately beca worried. Normally, there would be several torches that would light themselves after he said his greetings. But there weren't any this ti.
Realizing he wouldn't go anywhere if he remained still, Ery braved himself to step further.
"Supre Being... Are you there?"
All of a sudden, Ery's vision caught an ember coming into existence. At first, he thought it was a torch that was lit. Thus his face greatly changed when the small ember suddenly turned into a large fireball that flew towards him.
"Wwwoooaaa!!"
Ery swiftly dodged the incoming fireball by rolling his body on the ground. It went past him and hit the wall behind him, causing a large explosion that blew him away.
Then, before Ery could discern what had happened, the dark suddenly replaced by bright fla and a large black dragon erged from the shadow.
"How dare you return, boy?!!"
The dragon Killgragah, in his rage, once again spit out fla from its mouth. Ery was sure that, if it weren't for the chains that bound his limbs, the dragon might have run up to him and trampled him under his huge feet.
Imdiately, Ery casted [Blink] as he appeared at another corner of the space.
"Wow, calm down! What's going on? What did I do?"
Upon hearing Ery's words, the dragon roared, "You dare to ask, boy?! I'm checking if you are too tough already!"
Seeing that the dragon was preparing another ball, Ery swiftly put his hands in the air. "Wait, wait! Listen to , I really have my reasons!"
The dragon stopped its action because of Ery's words. "You have your reasons?" Seeing the latter nod his head quickly, the dragon comnted,
"This better be a valid reason, kid. Or else…"
Ery heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the dragon extinguishing the fireball. He was about to explain when the dragon, as usual, probed his mind searching for his so-called reasons.
Seconds later, just as Ery thought everything was in order, the dragon suddenly spat another fireball at him. Worse, this ti it was even bigger than the previous one.
"Supre Being, what are you doing?!" Ery said loudly, as he barely dodged the fireball.
Killgragah glared at Ery and roared, "You stupid human! How can you be defeated by that witch?! You really are an embarrassnt !!"
