Chapter 8: Chapter 8 – Noy Vs Monsters

Noy has been training in basic swordsmanship and spells for over 3 years now. There has never been a moment of rest for him. All he did for those years was train, eat, sleep, repeat without room for anything else. Everyday he would get some kind of bruise and would bathe himself with a basic water spell.

He seemed to have gotten a lot better but his growth has stagnated now after training for so long.

Noy was doing his training when Akriel approached and said, "Only training inside won't help you. Go out and fight monsters outside. You will learn more from the experience of fighting yourself. Before going out always remember, all the medium and higher magic spells are formed from basic spells. So, in theory, you should be able to create higher spells if you put your mind to it."

Akriel gave Noy a new sword and started walking away before Noy could respond. He had a point; the best way to improve is by actually trying.

Noy made up his mind to go out there and kill at least some monsters and map out the area while over there.

He then followed the familiar path and went outside. There was the forest that he had been to before, but there were no wolves. This relieved him as he didn't want to fight many different wolves at the same time. He didn't think he could handle it. However, if it was a one-on-one, then he was confident he could beat it. He wasn't the same person that ran away from wolves 3 years ago.

He started mapping out the terrain by leaving marks on the trees and rocks, then proceeded to move straight.

While running straight, a huge web shot toward him. He sensed it and narrowly dodged it. "What's that?"

A huge figure emerged from the shadow.

The first thing Noy noticed was that it had very long legs. The second thing he saw was that it had six eyes arranged in two groups. One group focused directly ahead of it while another looked down the left side at an angle towards Noy's right arm. It reminded him of the spiders he'd seen described by his sister when they discussed their hatred for all things. If anything could be said about those monsters was that it was weak to fire and had venomous bites.

Noy used his abilities to try to get around the webbing, then quickly jumped away from it once he was through. After that, he ran straight forward while using a flame spell to melt the webs with the force of the flames. He pulled his sword and tried attacking it but the sword didn't have any effect. Its leg tried crushing him but he jumped back quickly to a distance. Then it blocked the fireball that he casted earlier with its leg. This further confirmed that it is definitely weak to fire.

It continuously shot out webs to catch Noy. Unfazed, he ran straight forward to it while using fireballs to melt the webs. But the spider was faster than him. It launched itself into the air and landed right next to Noy as if it had been waiting for that exact moment.

"Let's see how you like this!" Noy shouted. "Fireball!"

He pointed at spider with his hand held high, then threw the fireball towards it.

It hit the spider square on its head, causing it to drop its legs and fall over. However, it didn't die instantly. It turned its body upside down and used its legs to trap Noy in place. When it did that, his sword flew out of his hands.

Noy felt helpless as the spider slowly pulled him towards it. He had no choice but to sit there and wait for the spider to kill him. At least he wasn't hurt yet though. He had to remain calm and think of something to do.

As he waited, he gazed at the spider's face and realized that the spider's mouth opened up wide. It was trying to bite him with its poisonous fang. This was a critical moment when he knew he needed to strike back at the spider or else he would die. He looked back to his training to see if he could use anything then all of a sudden an idea came to his mind.

"Umbra!"

At the sound of the name, Noy felt something inside him awaken. He used it to activate his ability and at the same time tried channeling light energy onto his left hand. A white glow covered both of his hands. He looked at the spider and felt his power grow stronger. Then he formed a fist and punched the spider's mouth with full force.

Its mouth burst open and the spider shook with pain before it finally stopped moving.

Umbra was the fighting technique that he learned from Akriel. It gathered the light energy from within and the punch from it would be magical, not physical. This was why it worked against the spider and the sword didn't work.

Noy felt like he was finally getting stronger. Surely enough, the real-life experience was what he really needed.

It was the first monster that he killed and he felt proud of it. His newfound confidence in himself grew even more. But this was not the time to relax as monsters could reach him anytime and he needed to rest as that fight exhausted him greatly.

He hid beneath a tree and used conceal magic on himself. It was not perfect but something was better than nothing. He took out the fruit that he had in his pocket and ate it along with the water from his bottle. Then he proceeded to rest himself for a while before making any move again.
