Chapter 10: Careful what you wish for (2)

Noctis drifted downstream until he couldn’t even a speck of the accursed site.
The cold water wrapped around his body, it stung a little at first but as he continued drifting it felt more and more cool.
Noctis gave up resistance and just floated down the stream thinking about what he had just experienced.
The boar wasn’t normal even without that blast thing. No way it covered all that much distance so quickly and over such a long period too.
Noctis focused on the energy slowly nourishing his body. He understood how he healed through all his injuries somewhat now.
The energy accelerated his healing abilities too, and if he wasn’t mistaken during the bout, the energy could be used outside the body too.
Noctis raised his hand to eye level, water sliding off it, and tried to coalesce the energy at one point like the boar did it with his tusk.
’It’s harder than I thought it would.’
The energy tended to flow rather than compact. It would take him a bit of practice to just be able to concentrate the energy, that too while he was still.
As he was busy with this he noticed a sudden shift in the atmosphere around the area he was now drifting in.
