Although it’s not a mutated legendary beast like Voli. A legendary beast is a legendary beast. Furthermore, The Blue Eagle has both of the rare abilities that everyone wants but couldn’t be sought. Domain and Transformation ability.
.....
In the continent of Germundia, legendary beasts are rare. Only less than a hundred are born every century.
In the secret realm, this is not the case. Because this realm is literally a world of monsters that was blessed by degu. The odds of the Legendary Beast are higher than the human world. Even the elusive mythical beasts appearing aren’t impossible.
Fein was in awe in front of the mysteries of the Monster World. He knew that the Mythical Beast have a higher chance of appearing in the Middle Realm. Humans didn’t have the chance to explore it as the danger and mortality rate of exploring it was too high. With the battle against the Leopard and witnessing the power of beasts in the desert, He even wonders if he can come out of the desert unscathed. He already died in his past life. He doesn’t want to die prematurely here.
Fein ends his thoughts here. There’s no use in worrying. What he has to do is train and improve his strength to increase his chance of coming out unscathed. And now that Sofia is with him, he doesn’t have to worry, because, with her strength, Fein was confident that he could raze the desert monsters to the ground. He only needed to improve his coordination with Sofia.
Fein retrieved his Abyssal Death Blade and began to perform various sword motions. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly as he thrust it forward. He’s making sure there’s not too much momentum and unnecessary movements on his part. Fein knew how important fundamentals are. His sword focuses on mastering the basics to the limit. That’s why his sword attacks look simple. But that simplicity is what makes it deadly.
Time passed as Fein continued to perform thrust and slashing motions for a thousand of times already without rest. His mind had long left the world already as he became immersed in the world of sword art where he and his sword are the only things that exist.
CLANK!
As Fein finished with his final slash, his hand trembled at the numbness he felt, and the sword fell to the ground, producing a metallic sound colliding on the ground. He stretched his sore arms, trying to relieve them a little, and retrieved a towel from his storage space to wipe the sweat on his body.
Fein felt accomplished when he was doing his training. Even though there’s no immediate improvement. He knew that in terms of sophistication and technique. His improvement isn’t small. Minor details can be deadly. An inch of improvement might become a deciding factor in a future battle. An inch of improvement would accumulate as he continues to train.
He sat on the ground to rest and wait for Sofia’s investigation result.
...
The cloud was passing as Sofia looked at the scenery below. After entering the desert in the sky. The temperature significantly decreases. Even though she was protected by Aoi, she still felt it slightly.
Upon seeing the barren desert, she signaled Aoi to go down a little so the view would become a bit clearer.
The initial area after entering doesn’t have monsters, as she thought. So she commanded Aoi to go down to the ground. Sofia jumped from the back of Aoi and stepped on the fine soil.
Suddenly, the ground trembled and a silver glint flashed in her peripheral vision, blinding me due to the light reflected by it.
‘Not good.’ Sofia condensed a blood armor into her body and attempted to jump out to dodge when she felt a cold air coming from Aoi’s direction. She quickly opened her eyes to see what was happening.
There Aoi was breathing a blue flame that freezes a hideous arm under the sand. But it’s not over yet. The ground trembled again, but its intensity was twice as higher than before. Aoi responded quickly, As she saw, her wings became icy. Her feather became white, like the color of snow, and her eyes became blue like jade ice. Aoi instantly appeared behind her and used her claws to grab her arm.
She flew into the sky at a speed that she found hard to believe; it covered everything they passed with frost. Her eyes widen because of her surprise at the powers Aoi possessed. She knew for one thing that having an ice attribute is rare. She knew earlier that she must be an A-rank, but she didn’t know her power was related to ice. And she knew that it was only one of her abilities.
“You save me,” Sofia muttered while looking at the ground that was now full of ugly monsters that were bigger than her mansion. The monsters had brown skin and red bloodthirsty eyes, as they looked at us full of malice as if they want to tear her to shred!
‘Whops, that’s close,’ Sofia shouted inwardly as the hair on her skin stood up. A chill went through her spine as she imagine what would have happened If Aoi didn’t react. Those monsters are likely to be A rank or even S rank. But she preferred the latter because if they are S rank, we won’t be able to escape that quickly.
Sofia blamed her own stupidity. If she told Fein what she did, he would probably become mad at her.
Sofia thought that there wasn’t any creature, but she was horribly wrong. If it was only one or five, she can still manage it, but the monster are more than a hundred and they are still coordinated. She won’t go down there anymore, and she would definitely become more careful next time. This scary experience taught her a lesson that she won’t forget. But, at the very least, she managed to know such a piece of valuable information that would reduce the risk of their exploration.
“Fortunately, you are here,” Sofia said as she glanced at Aoi with shining eyes.
Imagining her powerful image earlier, she knew that she have hit the jackpot. Now, she also has a fantastic beast that would become her companion in the future, like Fein, who has Voli as his beast companion.
