In the middle of a frozen lake, the sound of cracks could be heard. The gusts of the winds, containing a chill presence passed by and froze anything they came into contact with. The boy continued and pointed his sword at the ice statue before him. The area around the ice statue exploded, and the statue broke into pieces; The boy continued to launch multiple attacks on the small statues around him.
He then looked at the biggest statue in the center; He concentrated his ice energy on his sword. His sword shone in blue as the ice energy connected with it. The boy jumped at his opponent and slashed him, appearing behind him. The statue was hacked into two, then exploded into tiny ice crystals.
The boy looked at the impact of the attack; he sat down and started thinking of ways to use the combo in a better way. The statues around him reappeared, similar to those he had destroyed before.
He continued after some rest, and his movements became fluid each time he executed the combo. He tried it with different weapons and only left the training area when he was sure he was prepared.
Now that he had improved a lot, he was not going to repeat the mistake of his past self. He decided to focus on his contract beast. He purchased two support skills like 'Soul Link' and 'Bond Sheild' to strengthen his contract beast. He was practicing for it with his contracted beasts. It was not that hard for him to create a link with his third beast, as he had higher energy. His second contract beast was still very immature but was close to learning it.
The 'Bond Sheild' skill allowed Beast Tamer to share his power with his contract beasts to create a shield for them. Each bond shield was different from the others. It was very easy for Rishi to create a barrier, but he wanted it to be unique. He decided to copy Sheru's skill and create a similar shield with Shadow Element.
He chose this skill because both his contract beasts were mages, especially his third contract beast. He loved spamming his skills from far away, so he prepared this.
He was also preparing to evolve his second beast.
It was a beast with water element, and he was thinking of evolving it into a beast with both water and wind elements. The evolution he chose was called 'Cloud Chasing Crane.' He was preparing to evolve it fast so he could finally train with them.
...Two days later, inside his laboratory
He prepared all the necessary materials and decided to evolve his contract. Beast, he had already repaired and upgraded it so it wouldn't get destroyed again. A crane-like beast two meters in height could be seen inside the Evolution Chamber. Rishi motivated it before pressing the start button.
Like before, the Evolution Serum was injected into its body. Then multiple smaller injections injected wind essence into his body. Unlike his other evolutions, this one was very easy, and the beast experienced no pain at all. He knew the reason. It was simple because he was not doing anything challenging; His beast was born Elite Grade and was suitable for this evolution.
The body of his magic beast transformed; its body shrank. Its feathers separated from its body, and a new one grew. A mist started to surround it, and before he could prepare himself, a small explosion took place, releasing a bright white light.
The chamber door opened, and the whole room became covered in a cloud. Rishi was surprised, even he could not properly sense anything inside this cloud. He heard a 'chirp,' and something appeared from above, tearing clouds; It sat on his shoulders.
He looked at the creature on his shoulder; It had a long neck covered in white feathers and light blue eyes resembling sapphires. There was a beautiful blue-colored arrowhead-like crest on its head. Its body was white with strange light blue patterns; Its feathers were blue at the start, while its ends were grey and released grey smoke.
Its feathers were long and razor-sharp; His eyes then fell on the claws, which were strong and sharp. He could feel this creature's strength; it looked like Rishi, with its head close to his face. He petted it and checked its strength before summoning it back.
With this, he could now finally focus on training with his contract beasts. He opened the app and logged in to the academy app with his ID; He then went to the mission area. There were many missions, but they were easy and boring.
He was given a D rank and advised only to take D rank missions, but Rishi found them boring. He moved to C- rank missions and found that there was a mission to bring back the cores of Elite Stage ice golems. He needed to enter a C- rank realm to complete this mission.
He accepted it and left the city; Only a limited number of people knew that he had left the city. With his new concealment technique, it was impossible to follow him. He looked at the map on his smartphone and moved a little away from the city border. He summoned his third contract beast, Hansi. A three-meter-tall bird appeared with a wingspan of six meters.
Rishi climbed on the back of the blue-colored bird and gave it directions; the bird moved its six wings and flew at a fast speed.
After some minutes, four men appeared at the place where Rishi had stopped. One of the men had a small black creature with red eyes. He rubbed its head; the mouse-like beast smelled before squeaking. The man looked at his beast before feeding it some food and saying, "It said it sensed that presence; He was here a few minutes ago, we can follow his trail and reach him."
The other man laughed and said, "Why would we do that? We already know his destination. We will ambush him inside the realm. We can't fail this time."
They took their car and started moving to the location of the Ice Realm. Their speed was slower than Rishi's as he was taking a shortcut, but he needed to stop in between whenever he found something interesting. His contract beast also needed rest; he reached his destination in two days.
He reached there and changed his appearance before entering the realm; Four men followed him and entered the realm.
