The following day, Rishi woke up late. First, he surveyed the area around him and discovered it was filled with multiple creatures. Each one was more scary than the other. Rishi could have tried riding his beast, but it was dangerous to move in the air.
You can hide behind trees on the ground, but you are clearly visible in the air. Fighting in the air was also challenging. Defeating weaker flying beasts was not hard, but Fighting with stronger Beasts was hard. Even the rider class was trained for months to be able to fight in the air.
Rishi was completely capable of doing it. He could even survive while falling, but he didn't want to take the risk. He had rarely seen any low-level flying beasts; what was scaring them was also a threat to him. He checked his loot and was happy to see that he now had many treasures.
As he didn't want to walk in water, he created a giant sword using Shadow Energy and then used his telekinesis to use it as a hoverboard. After activating his concealment, he was again able to move comfortably. As he moved, he saw multiple different creatures.
The deeper he went, the clearer the water became. He found strange pink flowers that grew over the water. He used his 'inspect' skill and discovered they are called spentinua flowers. They can cleanse the blood inside one's body and make the bloodline pure.
While this may sound useless to common people, this is a rare treasure for those with bloodlines. Rishi saw many Draconic crocodiles lurking below the flower, waiting for someone to get closer. If there had been someone else, he would have needed to waste his energy fighting them before getting the treasure, but Rishi was built differently.
He used the silence and 'confusion' spells and quickly plucked the flower in stealth mode; he even replaced it with a copy made of Shadow Energy. This time we went one level up and inscribed an 'illusion' Rune on them to make them look identical to the original ones.
As he looked at the flowers still blooming behind him, no one could tell they were fake. "Sometimes I overdo things a little," he laughed before leaving. He got this idea at night when he was about to sleep. Today he even implemented it; he was also getting proficient in gathering and replacing them faster.
He found more precious flowers and plants as he went deeper. He was moving around, scanning the area around him with 'Shadow Sense. While his scan didn't work very well outside, Inside the water it was working very efficiently. He suddenly noticed that a strange material was present there that he had never seen. Rishi used a chain to pull it out and found that it looked like an ore, but it was light blue.
Rishi used his 'inspect' skill on it, and a window flashed before his eyes.
[NAME: Croma Ore
GRADE: Elite
INFORMATION: This type of ore could be found in some specific swamps, but it is very rare.
USE: Can be used to store Mana.]
When he read the information, Rishi's eyes lit up: This was the ore used to power Magic cars and other equipment." They were used to create batteries. The batteries made from this ore worked way better and had a very long working life.
He stored it and sat in his place, His hand rubbing his chin as he thought about how to get more of it. He looked below, and there were ferocious flesh-eating fish waiting for anyone who entered the water. His eyes shone golden as he analyzed the situation. He had an idea.
"I didn't kill any beast after entering the swamp, and now thousands would have to lose their lives because of me. Is this fate? Am I sent to punish these beasts for eating other creatures alive?" The next moment, his hand started to shine a light purple.
His whole body became light purple for a moment, but soon it started concentrating on his fingertip. As he dipped his finger in the water. Many drops of a light purple liquid fell and mixed with the water. Nothing changed, but after some time, the strange fish started shaking.
They tried to escape, but soon a layer of frost appeared around them, and slowly they froze to death. Their Icy bodies started floating on top of the surface. Soon, thousands of beautiful Ice statues appeared. "Behold a hybrid poison created by me, Shadow Frost Poison. It is super effective against beasts like these who have cold as a weakness."
Next, Rishi raised his hand. Multiple black-colored daggers inscribed with strange runes appeared and fell between the corpses. He created some strange finger symbols; soon the daggers shone red, and thousands of fish made up of shadows appeared after some time.
"Animate Shadow is working great; now let's test my other spell," He said as he started concentrating. "Possess your body again, Shadow and Ice as one; Shadow Frost soldiers appear."
The shadows entered their bodies, and their bodies started shaking. After some time, it blasted, and what appeared were starfish-type monsters with half their bodies made up of Ice and the other half made up of Shadow energy. They were stronger and stealthier than their previous selves.
"Go find the Croma Ore and bring it here. It looks like this." He threw it into the water. The fish broke it into small pieces and smelled it before disappearing; after some time, he saw them bringing a large amount to Croma Ore. He stored it and ordered them to find more; he even suggested they find any similar types of ores.
The other ores present were low-level ores, and Rishi didn't want them. Soon he had all the ores present in the area. He started moving to another area and continued enjoying the sun while his slaves mined ores for him. "Life should be like this—so carefree, so relaxed. Now I know how necromancers feel; Vinay said he didn't have time to come; he is going to the undead realm."
As Rishi entered the deeper area, One of his Shadow Frost Fish jumped at him. He caught it with his hand and looked at it. It had brought a strange Ore back with it. This one was shiny red and had star patterns on it. He used his 'inspect' skill and looked at the screen.
[NAME: Dracorite
GRADE: Epic
INFORMATION: An ore blessed by dragons to make weapons and armor for their loyal followers
USE: Can be used to store and Channel Magic.]
"Oh my," he said in disbelief. He picked up the fish that had brought it, threw it in the air in happiness, and raised his hands to catch it, but it never came by. He felt like a gust had passed by; Rishi's happy expression changed, and his eyes started glowing red.
