A figure started to walk outside the bushes. He saw his face and was shocked beyond words
"What! What are you doing here?"Henry asked in complete confusion.
Henry saw the Elosie's Grandfather slowly approaching him which shocked him because according to what he knew. He knew that he can't stand him.
He regained his compurse and would ask
"What are you doing here?"Henry asked him.
He was praying that her grandfather didn't saw him using earth's spiritual energy since then it will become difficult for him to explain it.
Also, he wanted to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. Since if others knows this then they can attempt to kidnap him and experiment on him.
So the less people knows about this the better.
A moment of thinking later Elosie's Grandfather opened his mouth and would say.
He was about to ask about the earth's spiritual energy and why he destroyed his core; however, he restrained himself from asking.
"Now isn't the time to do or ask anything, "Elosie's grandfather thought to himself.
Eloise's Grandfather thought for moment that what can he say. A few seconds later, he started to spout lies.
"I could ask the same thing of you. However, I frankly don't care what happens to you. I was just taking a walk in the woods."Elosie's grandfather asked with a serious look on his face.
Then Henry nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank god he doesn't know about this, ''Henry thought to himself with a relieved look on his face.
However little did he knew that he knows everything but he is acting ignorant.
"I shall take my leave, ''Elosie 's grandfather said to him.
The Elosie's Grandfather left the spot leaving Henry alone in the middle of the forest.
When he left he looked back at Henry and then he realized something more fascinating about him.
"Wait didn't he destroy his core so how is he still conscious"Elosie's grandfather thought to himself with a frown on his face.
He thought for some time but he didn't find the reason for it. He decided to forget about it.
"Forget about it. I will take a good look later"Elosie's grandfather thought to himself.
He left the forest and headed to the house.
Henry was lying on the ground helpless. He wasn't able to move since he is paralyzed.
"That old geezer could have taken me with him since he can see I can't move yet he is still leaving me alone here practically leaving me to my death.
Since I am in the middle of a forest which is packed to the brim with beasts."Henry thought to himself with a serious look on his face.
He looked at his surroundings and just spotted trees around the entire place. All of a sudden he heard a roar of a beast.
*Roar Roar Roar Roar!!!!!*A beast roared not too far from the place where Henry is resting.
He asked the system something crucial for his survival.
"Hey system, how long will the paralysis last?"Henry asked nervously.
He was praying that it won't last too long. However, his prayer wasn't answered since he soon received a notification that destroyed his hope.
(The paralysis should roughly end in the next 6 hours)
When Henry read the message he wanted to scream out loudly in anger.
"How am I supposed to survive in this forest surrounded by beasts in such a state?"Henry said softly since doesn't want to attract the attention of the beasts.
A moment later he calmed down since he knew anger isn't going to get him anywhere today.
instead, it will make his situation even worse than it is.
He began to think about what can be done to protect himself from beasts for the next six hours.
He soon made a realization.
"Can I use my spiritual energy because only my muscles have been paralyzed I think? "Henry thought to himself.
He decided to give it a try. So he channeled his spiritual energy inside his body and it was successful.
Even though the amount of spiritual energy he has is typically low due to the destruction of his core.
When he realized that he can use his spiritual energy his eyes started to shine brightly since he saw a hope of surviving.
"Thank god I can use my spiritual energy. I will create some dragon and will create a dome around me to protect myself"Henry thought to himself with a relieved look on his face.
He began to channel his spiritual energy uniquely and then two dragons appeared from the ground. He also realized another thing.
" I can't create more than two dragons but I still don't regret what I did, "Henry thought to himself.
He signaled the dragons to merge and create a protective barrier around him.
The dragons started to merge. It created slight fluctuations in spiritual energy. However, it didn't last for long since it will disappear.
The two dragons completely merged together.
The dragons surrounded him and formed a protective barrier around him.
The barrier had the blue scales of the dragons, hence it was very sturdy.
"I think no beast below the Late-stage basic Qi core formation realm will be able to break it.
Anyway, I have done everything I could. If it's still enough then I can't do anything anymore to protect myself."Henry thought to himself with a frown on his face.
Then right after he said those words Henry yet another message from the system.
(You would lose consciousness in a minute because you are damaging your cultivation more by talking and using spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy that you are supplying to the dragon will be cut off but the system will supply it with spiritual energy to maintain the barrier to protect you)
When Henry read this message even before he had the time to react his vision slowly started to turn black and his head started to spin uncontrollably.
He lost his consciousness and his connection with the dragon was cutted off. However, the dragons didn't disappear.
They used the earth's spiritual energy from their surroundings to maintain themselves.
The color of the barrier also started to change into dark blue from light blue in a matter of a minute or two.
All of a sudden the surrounding place was enveloped in a terrifying aura of dragons.
The beast who wanted to come near the place stopped dead in their tracks due to the terrifying aura here.
Like this, no beasts came near the domain where Henry was sleeping.
Then time began to fly away in an incredible speed and in a matter of a few moments it would become morning again.
Henry was still sleeping since his body hasn't completely recovered yet.
At the same time at the house of Elosie.
A young girl or in other words Elosie was walking towards the door of the room with a tray in her hand which had a cake and green tea on it.
"I am sure Henry would be super happy after he sees this cake," Elosie said with a giggle.
She kept walking towards her room of Henry. When she got close enough she opened the door elegantly with her leg.
However, the sight inside of the room shook her greatly. There wasn't be anyone inside the room.
"Where did he go?"Eloise thought to herself in confusion.
She kept the tray on a table and checked the bathroom and he wasn't there.
She spotted a piece of paper on the table and then she took it and began to read it.
"Hi Eloise I have gone out but I will return by evening today. ''Elosie read the letter.
Then she heaved a sigh of relief.
"At least he is trying to be normal, "Elosie thought to herself.
She kept the note and returned to her room. She continued to do her work.
At the same time in the forest.
A dark blue barrier could be seen surrounding something and it almost looked like scales.
It's Henry's Dragons. He was inside of it. Then he slowly opened his eyes.
However, his vision was bombarded by notifications. He readed a certain notification and was shocked.
"Are you serious I will have to do it now" Henry said to himself with a serious look on his face.
