Within the backyard of the Stark Residence the following morning…
Ethan was standing with one arm raised as he held a massive sphere of condensed black mass above his open palm.
Its gravitational pull was so immense that pebbles, loose soil, and fragments of stone across the yard were constantly being drawn upward.
Isabella carefully regulated the sphere's suction, but with her control, the pressure radiating from it was enough to make the surrounding air feel unnaturally heavy.
With the possibility of dragons becoming involved in the search for his parents, coupled with the current situation involving both the Hero and the demons, Ethan had no choice but to return to his former training regimen.
This training regimen was designed to push his body through immense physical strain, forcing it to break beyond its current limits.
However, when Ethan glanced up at the mass of darkness, he couldn't help but stare at it with disappointment.
