A boy could be seen standing in front of a portal that shone red. He entered it and disappeared from the view of others; After a moment of darkness, the light appeared again. The world inside was covered in water. A boy with platinum-colored hair could be seen sailing through the endless river; Around him was an area covered from every side.
It was as if this river was passing through a tunnel. The boy waited patiently; After some time, the darkness completely dissipated. In front appeared a world covered in water. There were little islands of strange plants and vines; he was looking around when he heard a cry.
He used his sensory skills to scan his surroundings and discovered that some aquatic beasts were approaching his boat. He moved his hand, and a book appeared on it; With the next movement, a white light released from it and turned into a giant creature with six wings. It was covered in blue-colored flames.
The boy sat in a meditative position, and the boat kept sailing; The eyes of the flying creature shone in a golden glow as it started attacking his opponents. He was fighting on his own without receiving a command. The battles became harder as they progressed along the river, but the creature was somehow always able to win.
This continued for some time before the number of opponents increased so much that it couldn't stop them from approaching the boat; The boy sitting with his eyes closed opened his book again. A white light released from it, and a cloud appeared around the boat.
The battle continued this time; there were now two magic beasts, which made them undefeatable as they moved further. This advantage became irrelevant as they faced stronger opponents. The constant battles had tired them, but they somehow defeated their opponent.
At last, the boat stopped in front of a giant beast; It had multiple dagger-like teeth. It roared at them, making the contract beasts feel some pressure. They would have considered facing him if they were in their perfect condition, but they couldn't defeat him in their current form.
The beast started approaching them; The scales and spikes on the back of the monster could be seen. The contract beast looked at their master; the boy made a staring hand sign, and a black-colored flame appeared around him and started burning his life force.
Two strange red-colored magic circles appeared below both the contract beasts, and they felt a sudden surge in their strength. They started battling against their opponent; In this fight, the boy guided them from his place using 'Soul Link.' He never said a word, but they could easily know what to do next.
This battle continued for a long time before the two contract beasts looked at each other and signaled what they would do next. The beast, surrounded by clouds, chirped; A square-shaped magic circle appeared below the giant monster. The force of the wave pushed him to the surface before raising him one meter above the surface; The six-feathered beast chirped and released a white-colored ray.
Everything that the ray came into contact with froze into ice. The beast didn't stop there; it then used another skill. Two magic circles appeared on the left and right sides; the next moment, they shone glacial blue and released multiple chains that bound the monster.
Vakar used his second skill; the cloud around him expanded before becoming a giant sword. The beast then controlled the sword and launched it at the monster; The sword peeled through the monster before dissolving.
The next second, a giant red-colored magic circle appeared above the monster. It started burning before burning meteors started appearing from it and hitting the monster.
Vakar used his cloud control skill to make a layer of cloud below the monster so it could not escape into the water. "Boom', "Boom," "Boom."
Multiple explosions occurred one after another; A cry could be heard before the surroundings quietened. The body of a giant creature could be seen floating. The boy slowly opened his eyes and looked at the corpse. He then started approaching it; he dissected it quickly and stored every valuable thing.
He then started looking for other treasures in this dungeon, and after he was done, he entered the blue portal and appeared outside the dungeon.
He moved back to his apartment; He was about to enter his bathroom to shower when he heard the voice of his maid. She gave him a letter; Rishi looked at the stamp and figured out who had sent it. He opened it and started reading its contents. After he was done, a smile appeared on his lips. "You had made the right decision."
The letter disappeared, and Rishi entered his bathroom in a good mood.
...
A human-like monster could be seen made up of ice. It moved around before disappearing; A boy appeared there. He didn't look to be in a good mood. He was moving from one place to another inside the room. His eyes lit up as he thought about asking for help from someone with more knowledge than him on this topic.
He went to the academy and went to the Teaching Department of the academy, where he searched for the office of his ice element teacher. He asked around and appeared in front of the room. He could see a nameplate on the door with the name Riya Negi; He knocked on the door, and "Come in," a voice said from inside.
He entered the room and greeted his teacher before asking, "Mam, I wanted to ask you something."
The white-haired lady with icy blue eyes looked at him and said, "You could have asked in class. First-year students are not allowed to visit the offices of professors."
Rishi apologized, "Sorry Mam, I was impatient."
The lady said, "Ask what doubt you have."
"Mam, I have recently mastered the Icy Body Cultivation technique; I can turn into an ice creature, but I don't like it. I want to make changes to it. How can I do it?" asked Rishi.
"So you want to know about Icy Body?" said the lady before she raised her voice. "What? You have mastered Icy Body; aren't you a first-year student? Is this some kind of joke?"
Rishi explained everything about it, hiding the essential details. The lady heard everything patiently before standing up and leaving, saying, "Follow me; I want to see it myself."
Rishi immediately followed her and soon appeared in front of a training ground. He followed the professor and entered. He then used his " Ice Transformation" skill and transferred into a monster of ice. The professor looked at him with her mouth wide open.
She approached him and checked him from all sides. Rishi transformed back and told her about the problems he was facing.
She was confused when Prof. Riya heard it: "How can it happen? I have never heard something like this happen. Your transformation was extraordinary and unstable. Did you mess up some steps while cultivating it?" She looked at him suspiciously.
Rishi didn't dare look at her. She thought for some time before replying, "There is only one way. You need to learn an ice-element body transformation art; This might make you even stronger."
He looked at her with hope and started discussing with her a solution. He learned that special techniques could help a beast tamer transform into another creature for some time. He also learned from Mam that he might not be able to find such a technique while looking in one of the libraries; he will need level two access.
At first he was a little disappointed, but he calmed down, started focusing on what to do next, and returned to his apartment.
In the following weeks, he raided multiple dungeons and leveled up quite a bit. He started focusing on becoming stronger. He had finally reached Elite Stage Level 7; It was time for him to do one of the most important things.
He started preparing. He wanted to be fully prepared for this ritual. He also started learning about demons, but he could not find anything about shadow demons. He called Vinay and asked him this question, and Yakshini told him three ways.
The first was to summon the shadow demon in sunlight; it would make him weaker; the other two were to have demon-suppressing formations; and the last thing was a weapon made from the remains of a sun-attribute beast. These things were not easy to find, but Rishi didn't give up; he wanted to be sure that he would be able to deal with the demon.
He checked everything before looking at the dungeon in front of him and the portal in front of him. His heart was pounding very fast, but he was also excited.
