The air, filled with fog and mist, moved lightly as the similar-colored thing passed. Looking from above, one would notice a cloud moving through the mist. It was as if it were surfing in the mist; the ones in the mist could not detect its presence at all.
It moved from one place to another as if looking for something. Then it started moving deeper into the territory. As it moved, it blended further into the environment as the mist grew. After a while, it was perfectly camouflaged in the mist.
The cloud kept moving. Many flying creatures passed by, but no one could sense anything wrong. It was as if there was no one around; the cloud kept moving at a steady pace. It looked like it didn't have a plan to poke other Beasts.
Soon the cloud stopped over an area and started dropping to the ground. This area had a strange tree with multiple red-colored fruits. The cloud moved slowly and surrounded the tree. A shadow of a hand appeared from it and plucked one fruit.
It then brought the fruit close to its mouth and took a bite. It stopped after that as if processing the taste. The eyes of the figure closed as he savored the taste, and soon his bright eyes looked at the fruit again. A smile appeared on his face. If someone had witnessed this scene, he might have believed this was the last delicacy this figure would ever have.
This fruit was famous for its toxic nectar. Its taste was very delicious, but the poison was more lethal. It was popular because this fruit could make a person's muscles very flexible. A potion was made after detoxifying the poison of this fruit, which was popular among Agile Class warriors.
The additional flexibility allowed them to do advanced maneuvers and dodge attacks easily; Rishi had already known all this. This fruit could also strengthen the muscles and make the body overall more stable, so he didn't want to waste more time.
Rishi had gained a lot of physical strength due to the Blessing and the Ice body, but his body structure was unstable afterward. While this doesn't do any harm right now, later, it could become quite a herd. He plucked multiple fruits and stored them in his pouch.
He was grinning when the expression on his face changed. He noticed a projectile coming at him. It was a fruit oozing a red glow moving like a bullet. Rishi barely dodged it and turned his head towards the one who had thrown the fruit, but the next second he regretted it.
'Boom, an explosion occurred behind him, and he was thrown a few meters towards the front. A strange red smoke released from the explosion entered Rishi's body. Rishi moaned in Agony and moved back. A creature was looking at Rishi with an arrogant expression.
The creature thought Rishi was done, but what happened next surprised it. He saw Rishi releasing a cry, and smoke started coming out of his body. The next moment, he coughed and vomited. His whole body shook. He was still feeling a burn all over his body.
After finishing up, he returned to look at the one who had attacked him. It was a strange creature with wings made out of leaves. Its triangular head looked like an art piece made by cutting apples. Its head was covered in a mane of leaves.
It had two hands that looked like sharp, dry branches. Its lower part had a tail that had a strange end. It had a cylindrical structure attached to its tail that looked like the barrel of a cannon. The creature also had fruits attached to its shoulder joints that had leaves attached to them.
A strange, slow whistle sound appeared as the creature opened its mouth. Its tail, hanging to the ground, adjusted in the air and pointed at Rishi. Then the triangular ring around its end spun, and with a small explosion, another shining fruit was shot at Rishi.
This time Rishi didn't repeat the same mistake, he asked Vakar to defend. A strange bird stepped on his shoulder and released a chirp. Next, the cloud around them turned into a shield and defended the attack; the gust of wind pushed the smoke away from Rishi, who was approaching him.
It cried at Rishi to intimidate him, but Rishi's speed only made him faster. The creature opened its mouth; a long tongue appeared from inside it and coiled around the tree branch. The tree then shone green and became a small form covered in a white orb. The creature swallowed the orb before turning and moving away.
andasnovel.com It released a puff of red smoke and flashed away. Its speed was very quick; Rishi's Beasts could not match it. As a last resort, Rishi decided to use his trump card. The necklace around his head shone purple, and soon something flashed away like lightning.
Rishi started following them, riding on Hansi, and Vakar used the cloud around him to cover them again. Rishi used his concealment spell and further increased its stealth. The chase didn't continue for long. He saw a two-foot owl-like bird with a big eye placed vertically on his forehead approaching him. It was carrying a cage with its only leg, which looked like a human hand.
Rishi shifted to the cage, and he saw it contained a strange red-colored leaf with mysterious designs. While the patterns looked mysterious, Not many would think that this leaf was something valuable, as it looked normal. The leaf then flew and tried to move, but whenever it tried to escape the cage, an invisible barrier appeared, making all its struggles useless.
Rishi picked up the cage and asked Hansi to freeze it. He then kept it aside and continued on his journey. The cloud moved again for some distance. Two big groups of monsters could be seen fighting against each other. Rishi waited for every one of them to get tired, and once they were tired, Rishi asked his contract Beasts to attack.
Vakar used its 'Blood Rain' combo, and big, sharp water droplets started falling. Hansi used a spell, and a giant white-colored magic circle appeared below the cloud. The raindrops entered the magic circle from one side, while long, sharp spears made of Ice appeared from the other side. These then started falling on the remaining members.
Before anyone could react, they were already hit by it. Whoever was hit by it had its momentary speed reduced, and the weak ones were directly transformed into an ice statue. The Rain of spears of Ice stopped after some time, and the cloud moved on like nothing happened here was related to it.
When the other monsters gathered after some time, even they were terrified when they witnessed this scene. Who could have caused this? was the question they all had in mind. They looked at each other with hateful gazes but still retreated; their enmity could be noticed from their glares.
Rishi and his contract beast continued attacking multiple opponents and farming as many points as possible. While farming for more points, Rishi never noticed that he had entered too deeply into the mist. He was moving, sitting on the back of his contract beast, and his focus was on the frozen cage in his hand.
He was curiously analyzing the eagle when he suddenly sensed something. His body started feeling better when he approached that place. He approached the location and saw that there was a strange pond with crystal-blue water. It was so clear that it could be used as a mirror.
He moved closer and sensed that the amount of mana in this area was very high. His mana was recovering quickly here. He approached the water and was about to touch it when he saw two red-colored crystals inside it. His eyes then fell on a staring creature.
It had a long snake-like head while also having a big, spiky shell filled with crystals on his back. It looked at Rishi and roared. The next moment, the water around the area turned into fish that started approaching Rishi. They moved very fast and changed their target in the air, making them harder to dodge.
In just a few seconds, he was overwhelmed by the attacks and had to ask Hansi to retreat. He looked back at the beast that didn't chase after him but rather kept smimming on the water. Rishi sighed in relief; his opponent was not interested in following him.
Rishi knew the strange ability that the creature used: Mystic Zone. Only elite-stage Beasts had this ability. With this ability, they were very hard to defeat. The only weakness was that it consumed a lot of energy, but this one was on a planet where mana was in excess.
Rishi was not sure if he would be able to defend for a longer time without any consequences, so he decided to retreat from it for now. There was no profit in annoying this creature.
