Chapter 85: Favors

Everything that Emery had done so far was to achieve his goal of getting stronger to face whatever comes his way. Emery had been in this spatial space for almost half a year now and had to get out especially with the urge of the academy's notification. He strongly believed he had that in order to grow more, application of his knowledge would be more beneficial rather than sitting here, doing the same thing everyday. Of course, he had other reasons for wanting to do so, he wanted to eat something other than the tasteless lembas bread, take a break from hearing the dragon's snoring and occasional scorn, restore his arm, amongst other things.

[The recall spell will activate in 30 days]

He stood before the dragon and said, "Killgragah, let me out."

The black dragon had always scoffed every time Emery had asked for this to be done. However, contrary to his expectations, the black dragon grew pensive, looked out the window, and said, "You really don't give up that easily, do you? Well, I'm getting tired of the view from the outside anyway, so I'll tell you something first."

"There is?" Emery's eyes glowed.

The black dragon stretched its limbs and said, "As a supreme being and you, the person who houses the creation of Khaos, it's my duty to show you the right path into becoming a real magus. Hence, I was reluctant to tell you this at first."

"Tell me what is it that needs to be done, so I can repay your kindness, great and mighty Killgragah," answered Emery in the most flattering tone he could muster.

The black dragon's mouth seemed to curl upward. If it were anyone else, except Emery, that had seen this, it would look like a menacing grin. Killgragah said, "There are two things that I need you to swear by to do, if you don't, I shall not agree. Do you understand?"

"I'm listening," said Emery.

"Very well, my first requirement is I need you to find me a place of power where the power of Khaos can dwell while you're away. The second thing is, once you're back in the Human Magus Academy, I need you to do me a favor there. However, I shall not tell what that favor is until you agree. Otherwise, forget we ever had this conversion. What say you?" said the black dragon.

Emery thought about the dragon's offer. First of all, what was a place of power? He needed to know what kind of place he had to look for in order to succeed. As for the dragon's second request, it sounded dangerous. However, the black dragon had stated its demands. If he didn't grab this chance, maybe he would have to stay in this spatial space for a long time before being able to get out on his own power. Wait—did the black dragon planned this from the start?

Emery stared at the dragon with suspicious eyes. It took him a good few seconds before he faked a smile and said, "Of course oh mighty Killgragah. I'll do your bidding."

The dragon's eyes turned sharp as it said, "Kid… did you think I don't know what's on your mind? Have you forgotten we're connected through Khaos and I can somehow understand your thoughts?" It stood and stretched its wings, looking down on Emery. "Hear me now! If it wasn't because of your foolishness, I would have been able to let you in and out as much as I want. However, my power has been drained too many times! First, it was that stupid elf and magus; after that, it was because you let yourself be drained by that stupid crazy woman! I just regained enough power to let you out once, but do you understand, kid? This is your fault!"

Emery had nothing to retort against this black dragon. Everything Killgragah had said made sense, so he could only keep his head down.

"Henceforth, remove whatever thoughts of you trying to deceive me. For the place of power, once you're out, I shall guide you where to proceed. I am sure a planet as green as yours will have what I am looking for," said the dragon. It moved its pointed head closer, only a few distance from Emery, and added, "As for the second task, if you don't succeed, don't bother coming back looking to get benefit from Khaos. Are we clear, kid!"

Clearly Emery's plans backfired, he just kept his head down and nodded to agree in order to get out of this place.

The dragon withdrew its big pointy snout and snorted. Emery thought the black dragon had changed its mind. He tried to think of something reasonable when the black dragon spoke once more, which was something he didn't want to come to fruition.

"Kid, you know, I am kind of worried you will do something stupid and will not be return because you will have died. I think it is better for you to stay here until you are strong enough. Do not worry about the Human Magus Academy for now. You will eventually be stronger than anyone if you keep doing everything I tell you to do.

No! Was what Emery wanted to shout in protest, however, an idea popped in his mind. He said, "Supreme being, Killgragah. I may be a puny human in the eyes of someone as mighty as you, however, this little one has received guidance from you. Therefore, place trust in the wisdom and strength you have imparted me with. With that being said, if you could grant me a spell that would increase my chances of survival and success in the upcoming future—"

"Hmpf! Once again, you are trying to fool me, kid!"

"That is not what I have in mind, dear supreme being. I thought of it as protecting your investment, which is me," immediately replied Emery.

The black dragon grew silent, seemingly thinking of what Emery had just said. "Hmm… you have grown in wisdom, kid. And that's because of the awesome me! Hahaha! Anyway, what kind of spell are you most interested in?"

Emery's heart jumped in joy but he didn't let a sign of it show.

He had been thinking about this ever since he had tried out the spell whip splash. What he lacked was an offensive spell and although whip splash was listed as an offensive spell, the condition of having water nearby before it could be used was too much of an inconvenience, he believed. Of course he could have water on him at all times with a waterskin, however, water was an important resource he needed for survival. He needed something else that didn't require such a necessity to be expended. Emery answered, "Offensive spells are what I think I most need right now."

The black dragon nodded it's head twice as it said , "Good, good. My patience has truly paid off, hahaha!" Killgragah cleared his throat before adding, " I like the way you think, kid. I've decided! You shall part with one of my strongest spells."

Right in front of Emery, he watched as the black dragon emitted a dark aura and rushed it into him. Emery was back in the dark room of his mind with the Faceless Man.

Emery's body floated in the air as the mental energy from the black dragon entered his being. When he opened his eyes, he returned to the darkness of his mind where Killgragah, in the form of Faceless Man, stood by waiting.

He stepped closer to Killgragah and noticed a dark glowing thing on top of Killgragah's white palm. A humanoid appeared not far from where they were standing covered with dark armor from head to toe while holding a golden spear and a great shield that spanned from the chest down to the floor, looking just like a knight from the Magus Academy. Killgragah shot a beam of black thing on his hand to the humanoid, which bore a hole into the humanoid and melted whatever barred its way. After that, Killgragah showed another form of the black thing, which burned the humanoid and melted its equipment.

Emery's pores opened as the blaze from the distance still lingered in the air. He felt that if he got any closer, the heat residue would also burn him.

Killgragah mentioned that this spell was called [Hell's Flame]. It was a spell that could melt even the high grade armors the dwarfs made for the Knights in the Magus Academy. The spell's other form was that of a fireball, which couldn't be extinguished by normal means.

Emery was still amazed by the spell when Killgragah created a cliff out of nowhere and stood on it. The Faceless Man form raised his hand high and a crackling noise resounded as another black ball with lightning shooting out from the surface of the ball formed.

[Gravity Maelstrom]

Killgragah then flew upward and dropped the ball into the rocky cliff, which instantly flattened into million pieces.

The power and the image of the spells awed Emery, making him say, "Yes! Any of those two will do!"
