There was only a little time left before the sunset. It was time for predators that hunt at night to hide again. In an area not far from the border of the Forest, covered in water, a being could be seen flying in the air with four large wings moving behind him.
Its eyes appeared to be filled with thick, killing intent. Looking down at the world, a large eye behind him was shining red. The creatures made up of shadows bow before him, asking for their mercy. Until now, they thought they could not be eliminated, but the demon before them had shown made chills appear all over their bodies.
"Foolish creatures, you dared to ignore my words." A cold voice echoed again. It continuously echoed in the minds of the creatures, making them feel pain.
"Do you think I am a joke? Do you believe I need your help?" He added, The more he said, the more his killing intent increased. The air became so heavy that it made it difficult for living creatures even to breathe. They became extremely submissive, and the fear of death paralyzed them.
"I didn't create you from the technique from a Skill or spell I learned somewhere; I created the technique myself." His chest raised as he spoke, as if proud of his creation. "Foolish creatures, I would have eliminated you even if you were five times as strong as you are now. You believe the one assisting you from there would help you," he said as he pointed his hand at the area, pointing in a specific direction.
Many shadows were enraged, but the moving eye shone again. Their faces hit the ground. "Foolish creatures, That being didn't even knew such a way existed. He merely copied my technique and added some Draconic Energy to it. Does he dare claim he knows more about it than me?"
He laughed maniacally. "I could have exterminated the likes of you if I didn't need you. Don't have the misconception that I need you for your strength. I need you because I don't want to waste my time in this realm. Stop provoking me, or I will exterminate all of you."
"The being assisting you and all his plans would fail; I know you can listen. I don't know what or who you are, nor do I care. I am not some bumpkin like them whom you can fool; I have seen many higher beings; you can't fool me. It's better that you also understand that I don't like interference with my things. If you tried one more time to become over-smart, I would exterminate all of them."
"Without them, I don't think you would be able to create more Shadow creatures. You might be strong, but you are not a creator. For especially you, I will show you who I am and what I am capable of soon. If you offer me something precious, I may even assist you," he said as his eyes and the giant's eye also closed.
The thick killing intent was absorbed into the eye and dissipated. The Shadow creatures were still bowing down. Even the Shadow Commander didn't want to make this person before him mad; he understood what he said most.
He never knew that he was the one who created this technique. A creator was respected and had absolute control over the technique he had created. He verified it for them when he just looked at him and eliminated one of the Shadow creatures. That strange, large eye also caused fear in everyone of them.
Rishi created a giant sword, which he then tied to both corpses. After tying the Raptor and its Rider, he looked at the dumb shadow creatures still bowing down. "Are you all fools? The sun is about to rise; it's time to hide," He said as he moved.
Rishi created more Shadow Soldiers and extracted the dragonblood and eyes from the corpses before leaving. The fish started doing their work of removing traces. Rishi moved towards a deep cave he had found and asked the Shadows to stay there.
He was about to keep the corpse of the Raptor Rider when he remembered that he could not trust these fools. He stored it in his Shadow Dimension. He then used his 'Ghost in Shadow' Chakram art's first and second techniques and appeared in the tree house before the first ray of the sun touched the ground.
He opened the door slowly, his eyes still looking cold. He had forgotten that he had used the silence spell; he didn't want to wake her. His cold eyes then shifted towards the girl sleeping peacefully; he lost himself again while looking at her. His racing heart suddenly calmed down, and his face returned to normal.
A smile appeared on his face as he noticed that the blanket was not properly covering her. He gently approached her and arranged it again before returning to his bed and sleeping. Some Shadow creatures were hiding in the Shadow of the giant tree guarding them.
As he fell asleep, the eyes of the girl with beautiful long eyelashes opened. She looked at her blanket before her eyes fell on the boy sleeping peacefully. She stood up and looked at his peaceful face. She had always heard rumors that Rishi was a scary person. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he could give anyone sleepless nights just by looking at him.
At first, she thought they might be true because even though she had seen how ruthless he was, she saw his gentle side as she spent more time with him. She started believing the rumors might be farfetched; her opinion only improved as she entered the realm.
She could see how caring he was. How could such a person be scary? He never even killed many Beasts without reason, as other people did. While she had seen what he had done to the Beasts around the area one night, she didn't judge him as she didn't knew the reason.
He never showed his other side to her. In front of her, he always appeared gentle and caring, never showing any pain. She had also learned from him that the Beast she liked was a Semi-Legendary Grade, and Kajal didn't know how to react then.
She had lost all hope of contracting it. She also felt bad for making such an impossible request. She was not among the ones who would believe there was nothing wrong with it; he was doing everything because of his own will. He didn't need a new beast, and he was doing it for her, and that was a fact.
