Just as Ery thought, the mont he arrived at the center, Killgragah instantly shot a fire breath at him.
Looking at the approaching red beam, Ery swiftly braced himself to resist it and as the result, the [Jade Skin] apparently was able to withstand the fire. Ery was about to smile at the result when he saw the dragon smirked and blew out another fire breath. This ti, the fire was not red, but violet.
Ery could only watch as his body was engulfed by the violet fla. This particular fla reminded him of the one used by Garry the violet fla.
In a matter of seconds, pain swiftly consud his entire body as his skin gradually burned. But, he could still endure it.
Seeing that, Killgragah nodded its massive head. "Not bad! Now try this!"
This ti, the dragon only spat a small ember, but it was black-colored.
From afar, Ery had a very bad feeling as he watched the ember slowly fly at him. He could clearly feel the searing heat before it reached him. However, he still needed to test the [Jade Skin], therefore he prepared himself.
The ember landed on Ery's shoulder and it imdiately broke apart and lted the [Jade Skin] there. Excruciating pain instantly ravaged as it seeped into his whole shoulder.
Ery gritted his teeth due to how painful the sensation was. Imdiately, he sat down and casted [Nature Blessing] on himself to ease the pain he was currently feeling.
Unfortunately, even though the pain was lessened by the spell, it was unable to stop the burning. It slowly spread to his chest and neck, causing Ery to panic.
This particular fla was on a much different level to the violet one.
At this mont, Killgragah laughed and spat a liquid to his shoulder, exactly where the ember previously landed. Then, the burning finally stopped.
Looking at the relieved Ery, Killgragah asked. "So, what do you learn from this, kid?"
Ery was silent as he pondered what the dragon asked him. For him, at the mont it only proves that the dragon was a bit of an asshole really.
The dragon told him that all the fire the dragon shot was apparently the [Fire Breath]. A spell that was categorized as Tier 2 spell, the [Fire Breath].
Ery was quite amaze as to how such a low rank spell could deliver such extraordinary destruction. It turned out that 'low rank' spells, as he had dubbed, could have such a devastating impact if one had completely mastered the said spells.
The dragon explains how other than higher spirit force, there was such a thing as mastering the spells. Therefore, Killgragah reminded him to not follow the way humans did, having dozens of spells to learn. Instead, focusing on fully mastering a few spells would be the right way.
Unfortunately for him, he already learned all of this in the magus academy, Ery can only take the burning pain in his shoulder as part of the benefits package the Khaos space could offer.
After his shoulder was healed by [Nature Blessing], Ery once again returned to the corner where he previously sat.
This ti, he wanted to cast his newly-gained Tier 4 spell [Nature Grasp].
Rembering how the spell was given to him with a few warnings, Ery expected that this spell would be a hard one to cast. Thus, he was dumbfounded when he managed to cast it on his first try.
While sitting in the sa lotus position, Ery followed the instruction in his mind and channeled his green spirit energy, guiding it through his core. Imdiately, Ery felt as if his whole body opened up, just like breathing, as it started pulling the spirit energy in the surrounding.
Ery was sure the spell was cast as his body created a reaction, but surprisingly, nothing changed.
"Did I cast it wrong?" Ery thought as his mind reviewed the way he cast the spell earlier.
He repeated the spell once again, and this ti, was absolutely sure his body reacted to the spell. Still, there was no result. Then, before he could try once again, a loud bellow resounded through the space.
"What did I just tell you about specializing the spells?!! Why are you wasting ti with another new spell again?!!"
Ery was startled by the roar that he jerked to his feet. Turning to the dragon, he swiftly waved his hand and said,
"Please, great supre being.. This spell was said to be my family's treasured spell. I hope you can give so guidance."
Seeing how humble Ery was, Killgragah still decided to tell him about it, albeit unwillingly.
"The spell that you cast is a nature spell. Thus, it's natural for it to not work in Khaos space, which is thoroughly filled with pure darkness energy. You can only see the effect outside."
"Aaa… no wonder." Ery understood. He even wanted to bang his head onto sothing due to the foolishness.
Without further ado, Ery told Killgragah his decision to leave the space.
Hearing that, the dragon could only say, "It seems it can't be helped, huh! That spell will really help you advance. So, go! Just make sure to bring more… good.. stuff."
It had been two weeks since he stayed in the Khaos space, without resting and eating sparingly. Therefore, this could be the good break he needed.
Before leaving, Ery suddenly thought of sothing. "Oh, great supre being, I wonder.. I wonder if you will be gracious enough to allow to bring soone else to this place.
It seed the question annoyed the dragon as Ery could hear the latter's growl.
"Do you think this place is an inn you can rent out, kid?!"
Ery imdiately waved his hand when he heard the dragon's words, denying it.
"No, great supre being. Of course not. I don't dare."
At this mont he really thought this khaos space could be really useful.
He could easily solve the problem of Arthur's need for spiritual force if he could take Arthur inside. Especially for Morgana who obviously talented in magic. The dragon could even teach her so fire elent spells seeing the dragon powerful fire spell before.
He then suddenly thought about his four friends, If they all could access what he's currently having, they would not need to be concerned about the third year at all.
Thinking about the danger they will be facing, Ery was forced to ask again about the possibility of having others access the khaos space.
Ery was expecting the wrath of the dragon, but then he said
"Actually kid, like I said before the answer is behind that door, if you can open it then you will be the chosen master of the khaos. At that ti you can do whatever you wish"
Ery sigh, at the end it ca back to his progression, he needs to grow stronger fast. He gave a bow to the dragon and opened the Spatial Gate to reach outside.
The mont Ery walked out of the Spatial Gate, he quickly found a spot on one of the stones and sat down in lotus position.
Without wasting any more ti, Ery imdiately began channeling his spirit energy as he cast the spell again.
[Nature Grasp]
This ti, Ery could clearly feel it. His whole body was opening up to the surroundings around him.
The stone he sat on, the grass and trees in the area; he could vividly perceive the energy running within them. It was such an amazing feeling.
All those energy were flowing and connecting to his body, circulating into his spirit core and affecting it - in a positive way.
If [Nature Blessing] was a spell that utilized the green, Plant elent spirit energy within him to give into others to heal and recover, this [Nature Grasp] spell was the other way around. It siphoned the energy of his surroundings and channeled into his body. Ery could clearly feel his spirit energy was being refreshed with every passing second.
Ery was so drowned by the sensation the surroundings brought that he nearly beca like nature itself. He didn't say nor think anything; he just completely imrsed into his surroundings.
Without realizing, Ery had been sitting for hours. He was undisturbed even when the night arrived.
Just like this, one day turned into two, two into three, and so on. Ery had beco like a statue, sitting there peacefully.
Until finally, on the fifth day, he was roused awake by a notification that appeared in his mind.
[Your spirit force has increased]
[Spirit force 226 (151)]
Ery opened his eyes in delightnt. He knows he can increase his spirit force much faster in the khaos space. But what really excited him was that he found that his understanding of nature elents has greatly improved. Sothing he definitely needs at the mont.
