Chereads / Rise of the High Orc / Chapter 5 - Magic Missile

Chapter 5 - Magic Missile

Finally in the dead of winter Khan reached meeting the requirements that Gomrick set to go to the next stage of training. He also acquired He was however to cold to get up and go to Gomrick right away. It was the dead of winter and the fields were covered in snow. Gomrick told Khan that during the winter the slaves just huddled up in the building and the orcs would throw out old blankets for them to use he said usually 20% of them froze to death and another 10% died to sickness.

A couple hours later Khan started to circulate his mana throughout his body heating it up and getting his blood pumping. He then headed to Gomrick while looking like a decrepit old man with blankets all over his body.

"Oh you finally reached it" Gomrick said opening his eyes.

"Yes I can finally learn how the hell you can endure this damn cold without any protection." Khan replied sitting in front of Gomrick who was wearing the clothes he always wears. A faded brown shirt and pants offering very little to no protection.

"Well I'm sure you have already guessed it but the next phase is pushing the mana outside of your body and manipulating it their." Gomrick said pushing out a white mist from his hand. "You need to push the mana out then turn this in into a more solid form making it into different shapes. Start with simple shapes and then once you are able to that move on to more advance shapes. Finally once you are able to form a dodecahedron come back to me and we can start doing your first spells. You do know what a dodecahedron is right?"

"Of course I know not all orcs are stupid meat heads." 'All right I can start shooting spells soon. All I have to do is make some simple shapes.' Khan said while returning back to his corner.

Khan quickly found out it would take a lot longer to actually form the shapes he wanted then he realized. At first he couldn't even get his mana to not disperse when he sent it out of his body. He managed to send mana out of his hands. It just felt like he had to push his mana threw a wall but he managed to brute force his way through it but now he couldn't stop his mana from dissipating into the air.

It felt like his mana was stripped from him and stopped fowling his will once it leaved his body. Khan realized that he had to somehow infuse his will into his mana but that was a lot harder than he imagined. He had to have a specific image in mind when he did put some of his will in the mana plus he had to have the right ratio of will to mana. If his will was to little it didn't follow the command and if to much the mana could not support the will.

After experimenting for multiple days he finally managed to find the correct ratio. He still was having an incredibly hard time with controlling his mana after it came out of his body. Even if he got everything perfect he could still barley make the mana into a shaky sphere. He would be making more progress but he had a limited mana supply decreasing the amount of time he could practice. He would wake up in the morning eat a potato for breakfast practice his inner mana control till noon eat again and talk to Gomrick while waiting for his mana to replenish then do external mana practice till he exhausted himself mentally eat a potato and go to bed.

Khan then checked his status seeing what had risen after all his time from training.

Khan seeing that he had reached level 25 put 42 AP into dexterity and the last 8 points into Intelligence making himself more well rounded and giving himself some more mana to work with. He noticed how had unlocked the will power stat and the mental pain tolerance skill. Khan gave himself a pat on the back seeing with pained grin seeing the mental pain tolerance skill. However that changed once he noticed that his mana manipulation ranked up in just a couple days he realized that he was on the right track and went back to practicing with more ferocity and with a more focused mind.

Three weeks have passed and Khan is still vigorously training. Floating above his hands is a shaky dodecahedron as Khan is furrowing his eye brows and focusing as hard as he can. Slowly the shape is becoming more rigged and less shaky. Gomrick is standing behind him watching his progress "That's it, you've got it, keep on going your almost their." Then right when Khan finished forming it he felt a great since of clarity and the mana in his hand felt a lot easier to control "I Guess your not a fool after all" Gomrick said smiling down on Khan.

"I did it, finally I d-, Thunk" Khan fell right on his back passed out.

"That dumbass he never learns" Gomrick said kicking khan in the back.

When Khan finally woke up he went straight to Gomrick to receive his next set of instructions.

"Okay Khan I know your itching to fire off spells now. So I think will hold off on elemental magic for right now and get you to your first attack spell. Now the first attack spell any good mage should learn is the nonelemental Magic Missile. This spell can be really handy if you have to deal with anything that has a high or complete Physical Immunity. So I want you to shape your mana in the form of spherical oval and try and push it as hard as you can to collide with the wall like this." Gomrick said forming a white oval like ball of mana in his hands before shooting it off at the the wall.

Khan then formed the same shape that Gomrick made although taking at least 3 times as long to do so. Then he tried to fire it off it went a couple feet but then dissipated. "I see I have to form another will to fire it off don't I?"

"Yep" Gomrick replied returning to his corner.

Khan then spent the next couple hours working on it but eventually he got it. He sent a Magic Missile all the way to the wall and hitting it with substantial force.

"KUHAHAHA FINALLY I AM THE IMMORTAL KHAN FUTURE RULER OF ALL ORCS AND THE STRONGEST HIGH ORC TO EVER EXIST!!!" Khan bellowed after seeing the notifications.

"SIGH, That dumbass." Gomrick replied.
