Chapter 15 - Henry's first attempt in monster war

Henry assembled the required materials and on top of his list was a spearhead and arrows. He was to carry along with protective gears but he just realized that monsters were very dangerous wether you are wearing protective gears or not. He chose not to use them for that time but made a conclusion to carry along with his magic metal. It could help him incase he was to be overpowered by the monsters. He made a holder which looked exactly like a bag. It was exactly fitting the magic metal. On the bag was a holder that he could easily tie at the chest for easy access.

The monsters had adversely affected and occupied the planet due to the reduced population. The chaos were still on in the slums when Henry headed towards Miho forest for a do or die war. As he was going, he remembered and came back to put some mechanism to ensure that the Smith's family was safe at all. He left all his family members locked up in the house and also warned other people on the slums to remain indoors. He set his journey towards the forest to attack the dangerous monsters which had inhabited any place covered by green flowering plants. It was only few kilometers from the slums.

Initially, this forest was a tourist attraction site but since the outbreak of other races, it was turned to be homeland to monsters. Attacking by the source would help Henry to fight the leaders hence wining but this was to be very dangerous to his life. He just gained enough courage and went. As he approached the forest, he heard threatening voices which scared him from a distance. It was the voice from monsters moving out of the forest in their mission to destroy human race. He quickly moved a step and observed the exact place the voice was originating from. After keen observation, he saw a group of dragons flying up in space with their eyes wide open ready to seen any human.

Henry went down not to be seen at any time. His body was filled up with fear and anxiety. He relaxed for a period of time and stood up. This was the time he saw a dragon moving towards him. He quickly jerked out his spearhead and arrows. He made faster arrangements to encounter the dragon. He moved towards a large tree that was just next to him. At the tree base, he was sure with clear observation and hiding tactics. The dragon was coming at a lightening speed. Henry knelt down and observed the dragon from an angle as it approached. He was worried with the size and appearance of the dragon making him to shake in fear. His heart ran from top to bottom making his legs to tremble endlessly. This forced him to go down on the ground.

After realizing that he was alone in the midst of danger, Henry stood up steadily on the ground and looked directly in the direction the dragon was coming from. He knew he was going to be mercilessly destroyed by the dragon. He directed his arrows to the dragon though he was under the tree. The branches could hinder with the shooting but Henry didn't have such calculations. As the dragon moved very close, it increased it's speed to land on Henry and kill him. Henry let the arrow to go up targeting the dragon's head. Though the arrow was too small to kill it but he just believed that it was going to perform the task.

The spearhead directed arrows between tree branches to attack the dragon that was landing. Unfortunately, the arrow missed the target and hit a tree branch forcing it to fall down. Henry was shocked with this instance making him to move away quickly to give room for the falling tree branch. Lucky enough, the dragon was also confused after the tree was shaken. Henry moved but his eyes were on the dragon. The dragon lost the target after the tree was shaken. This gave Henry an upper hand in ensuring his safety. He didn't remove the magic metal at all since it could repell the dragon and make it to move away.

It was a chance for Henry to attack the dragon but he was also confused. He took another arrow quickly and placed between the spearhead and made a target again. The dragon had lost its balance in air and moved for some distance before coming back. Henry ran to the place the branch had fallen to take the arrow. It was of great important for him to have as many arrows as he could since it was a fight for the strong ones to survive. He grabbed the arrow with his right hand and tried to pull it out. All his efforts were in vain since the arrow had strongly stug between the branch. The water currents between the layers of the tree branch had formed a strong covalent bond holding it firmly. His eyes were still observing the motion of the dragon in the space. He tried moving it again but there were no change so he decided to let it go and focused on the dragon with all his attention.

The dragon in the space changed the direction and started moving again towards Henry. At this time, the tree had reduced its top cover exposing Henry to the dragon. Henry organized himself to make the second trial. He observed the movement pattern to set the strategic place to shoot. The dragon was angry with Henry since it came faster roaring. Henry gained courage and moved towards the dragon with the spearhead pointing directly to the dragon. During this time, he was in an open space where he was directly seen. The dragon landed with the mouth wide open ready to swallow Henry wholly.

He went down on his knees and let the arrow up in the space. As the dragon was moving in an irregular pattern, it was accidentally shot by the arrow at the tail making it again to loose balance. Henry saw some blood dropping on his head from above. This was the time a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations for binding to the dominator system. You been awarded 1 ability skill.]

[Total ability skills:13]

Immediately the system disappeared, he was filled up with energy and appeared very healthy. He observed the dragon and noticed that it was bleeding and it was the same blood that had dropped on his head. He knew he had at least reduced the powers of the dragon. The dragon screamed indicating danger to the entire jungle. The scream raised an alarm that made Henry to gather some fear and anxiety. He had only two arrows remaining since the arrow he just used went into the forest. This was becoming too dangerous to him.

The dragon coiled around in pain and came back to finish Henry. He was still in confusion hence not ready to shoot. Henry dodged the dragon confusing it to an extent that it missed its passing by Henry. He decided to grab the dragon by the injured tail. Since the dragon had enough strength, it went up with Henry in space. Henry screamed loudly and left the dragon to go. Henry came down from the space very faster due to the force of gravity. Luckily, Henry felt on large tree leaves which held him strongly. He never hit the ground. It was becoming tougher for him to succeed.

The dragon was still turning to take Henry. He quickly climbed down the tree which had greatly saved him. He dropped on the ground heavily shaking it. He looked back only to realize that he had lost all his arrows and he was only remaining with the spearhead at hand and on his back was the magic metal rapped in a manually made bag. The dragon moved closer to him to kill him but he quickly remembered the powers of the magic metal.

Henry hurriedly stretched his at the back and removed the magic metal. He directed it to the dragon and it started moving away from him. At this time, Henry was panting on the ground. The dragon disappeared and Henry was left with alot of thoughts. He was trying his level best but all was in vain. He never gave up, he decided to change the tactics of attacking the monsters since he was looking forward to become an awakener.

Though the game was very tough to him but he chose to remain strong since he was operating under the system. He thought of ideas that could help him kill even one monster to get potions. On top of his list, he thought of sourcing enough arrows to use since he had no powers to own digital fighting machines like pistols and bullets. The same arrows were also difficult to be found since they were mostly found in government parastatols or military schools. Since Henry had escaped from the military school and he was under investigation, he could not attempt to source arrows from there so he thought of other means.
