Chapter 7 - Ch.7: Too Much Blue Bull

"Peter, back to you."

"Thanks, Chris, as I was saying. Although not famous, Killian Osho was popular in his area thanks to his daily streams. Sadly, his landlord...broke into his house only to find him slumped on his desk with the camera still on.

The landlord said he thought Killian was just asleep but he then quickly noticed the entire room was filled with Blue Bull, even on his bed. Sadly, Killian passed away from drinking too much Blue Bull."

"Back to you Chris."

[Day 6]

After practicing for an entire day, I finally managed to form my first phoenix. It seems like I can also form a crow but the latter was incredibly hard in comparison to the phoenix. Normally a phoenix would be stronger than a crow, but whatever.

I wanted to test the power of the single phoenix so I tried to propel it forward. I tried using magical energy and pushing from behind it, but Lillia quickly told me that I can just control the magical energy that the phoenix was made of to shoot it forward.

As I shot the phoenix at two trees ahead of me, instead of a small explosion, the phoenix looked like it melted into the tree like a drop of water going into a cup. Although the form of the phoenix was gone, the fire itself was pretty good. The fire took a while but it managed to touch one of the two trees and set it on fire.

One thing I didn't expect was how strong the tree itself was. The fire only lasted half a minute, perhaps these trees weren't as ordinary as I thought. From my observation, the tress had some kind of barrier on them that could block most of the attack.

Instead of throwing another phoenix, I began trying to make the second one. It was 2 times as difficult which I expected. The hard part of doing it was trying to compress the magical energy into a single clump and changing it into an element.

Thanks to Lillia, I found out that there are 6 main elements.

Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark. Magical energy was basically non-elemental magic. Thanks to the Phoenix and Crow Technique, I was given a method of transforming non-elemental magic into elemental magic. Normally, it would be impossible for someone who hasn't come in contact to turn non-elemental magic into fire magic, but since I've seen and felt fire, it wasn't too hard.

After compressing the magical energy into a battle, I had to form another layer of magical energy around it. The second layer had to connect to itself like a circle, but instead of a circle, I had to form a phoenix and make sure it connected. After forming the second layer, I had to wrap the entire phoenix with a layer of magical energy.

The power of the phoenix came from the compressed energy inside, so technically I can amplify it if I make another 'core' of energy. I'll just call it the core of the phoenix for now. If I can make another core or a smaller one inside the same phoenix, then maybe I can do that instead of making two more phoenixes.

'Okay let's try this.' Lillia was used to this although it had only been a single day. Ever since I formed the first phoenix, I've been hellbent on trying to find a loophole, because right now I'm probably not strong enough to form the second phoenix no matter how hard I try.

'Almost there...' It's been 10 entire minutes. Forming two cores inside one phoenix wasn't as easy as I thought! I gritted my teeth before using all my mental power and finally compressing another core into the same phoenix.

The second layer of energy snapped and the entire phoenix dissipated after making the second core. F*ck.
