Chapter 11: Mana Control

The Eagle opened its wing and flew towards Ethan with incredible speed.

Ethan just watched the Eagle flying towards him and just as Eagle was about to reach him he muttered '' wind blade'' and a blade made of wind appeared in front of him and shoot towards the Eagle since Eagle was flying towards him at its full speed and the speed of the wind blade was also very fast so the Eagle didn't get the time to evade the blae, its body was split into half and it dropped to the ground lifelessly.

The blood of the eagle was about to stain Ethan's face when suddenly a wind barrier come in front of Ethan and blood was unable to reach him.

Seeing the dead eagle and the wind barrier a smile appeared on Ethan's face and he thought no matter what he have to control his mana perfectly if he want to use his skill in various ways .

After killing the sky eagle Ethan looked at the notification in his status window

[You have killed the Unranked sky eagle level 9 you have acquired. +3Agility, +2 health,+2 stamina, +5 mana]

Ethan dismiss the wind barrier and took out a mana potion and drank it after drinking the mana potion Ethan walked towards the dead eagle and stored it in his storage ring.

Just as he was about to leave he saw a shining blue stone in the pool of blood of the eagle Ethan picked up the stone and looked at it closely.

The stone was the size of a fingernail and it was shining like a polished diamond but Ethan know that it was not a diamond but a mana core.

Because of his affinity with the mana he can feel the pure mana stored inside the core. You can get mana cores by killing magic beasts but not every magic beast has mana cores very few magic beasts have mana cores.

How mana cores are created inside magic beasts no one knows but these mana cores are very rare and can be used for many things.

Since this mana core came from a level 9 magic beast it's not very rare because many people can face unranked magic beasts and get their mana cores.

You can get an unranked mana core by killing an unranked magic beast, if you want a rank one mana core you can't get it from an unranked magic beast you can only get it from a magic beast whose level is between 26 to 50.

After picking up the mana core Ethan stored it inside his storage ring and started to walk towards the exit of the forest, he didn't encounter any other magic beast and successfully exit the dark forest.

When Ethan came out from the dark forest he took the same route from which he enter the dark forest and since he chose a place from which no one enter in the dark forest there was nobody to disturb him during his training.

After coming out of the forest Ethan found a clean area and set up his tent where he will sleep at night. After making his tent Ethan set up an alarm in the surrounding of his tent so that if any magic beast appeared while he is sleeping or training he will be able to react accordingly.

After Ethan set up his camp and alarm it was already afternoon so Ethan decided to eat something, Ethan didn't eat the food that his grandmother packed for him instead he made a campfire.

Then he come a little far from his campsite and took out the body of the forest Tiger he wanted to eat the meat of a high-level magic beast, since his body was not very strong before he killed the forest Tiger he could only eat the meat of magic beasts whose level was below 10.

But now since his level increased he wanted to eat high-grade meat so he came far from his camp so that when he cut the meat of the tiger other magic beasts won't come near his camp smelling the blood.

Ethan looked at the tiger's body and coated his sword in mana and cut some of its meat after he got enough meat Ethan put away the remaining body of the tiger in his storage ring.

Ethan came back to his campsite and started a campfire after that he took out the meat of the tiger and other spices, he already cleaned the meat properly.

After preparing the meat he started to cook it on the campfire when the meat was being cooked Ethan couldn't help but gulp down just by smelling the meat, after 20 minutes the meat was ready to eat.

Ethan took the meat off the fire and took a bite.

'' Delicious '' just one word come out from his mouth after taking the bite of meat Ethan didn't waste his time by spouting nonsense like ' this meat is melting in my mouth or something and quickly finished eating.

After eating Ethan thought about what he have to do before his body fully recovered.

'' First I have to train my mana control so that I can use my skills more freely''

After deciding that he will train his mana control first Ethan didn't waste his time and got back to work, he is going to train his mana control just like how he train with weapon coating, when his grandfather taught him how to coat a weapon with mana he was unable to control his mana and imbued more than needed mana into his sword and it broke down.

He has to do mana coating again and again to fully learn the mana coating so he is going to use his skill Wind Monarch again and again until he can use his skill more freely.

His body will recover in two days and he knew that two days won't be enough to master mana control but he has to learn as much as possible during these two days.

Ethan came in front of a big stone and closed his eyes to feel the surrounding wind and mana more clearly after feeling the surrounding wind and mana he shoot a wind blade at the stone, the blade collided with the stone and a deep mark appeared on the stone Ethan checked his mana to see how much he just used.

Mana:- 50/107

Although it was better than the first time it was still far from the good, he knew he can create a wind blade with just a meager amount of mana if he can control his mana and skill perfectly.

Ethan didn't wait and just drank a mana potion to recover his lost mana, Ethan trained for all afternoon when the sun started to set Ethan returned to his camp and made dinner for himself after eating he thought about what he had done all day and made plans for tomorrow.

'' Although my mana control is improving it will take more time before I can control it perfectly, along with my mana control I should also think about how to use my skill properly currently I am just using only a portion of its true power'' After deciding that he will train his skill along with his mana control Ethan went to sleep he was quite tired after all the training he did all day.
