Caught in the act.

For Blake to enter the peak of the hero realm, he needed to understand the principles of nature in order to manipulate it.

Till now he hadn't had a clue of what that meant, and just as always, He was on his own because the system wasn't helping him.

Blake thought that the best way to understand nature was by feeling it, so he had been indulging in a lot of meditation in vegetative areas.

Although he had figured out close to nothing doing this, Blake knew that patience was key in learning and growing.

With the system monitoring the environment, Blake remained in his meditation position for close to an hour before the system alerted him that the mana pillar was reducing in intensity.

Blake opened his eyes and quickly moved closer, but that was when a stream of air hit his face.

[Something is comi…] The system attempted to alert Blake about the unidentified creature but it was already too late.
