Today, instead of going out, Rishi was still inside the shelter. He was writing about something in a notebook. His eyes shone in gold; he was lost in his own thoughts. He thought for a moment before starting to write something. He sometimes even crossed out what he had written earlier.
It continued for a while with his pen in his mouth; he kept thinking about the solution to a problem. When he saw how, with little help, he could create Epic Stage Shadows, he started thinking about a way to help him create Epic Stage Shadows in the outside world.
He kept thinking about it, forgetting about other things. Kajal looked at his serious face, focused on thinking about something. She decided not to disturb him and watch from the side. She didn't know why; whenever she saw him concentrating on something and working, he looked even more handsome to her.
Forgetting about him, she closed her eyes and started meditating. In one corner of the bed, Kajal meditated while Rishi was doing his work on the table. Time passed, and both were focused on their own things. It was already evening. Kajal stood up and made tea for herself and Rishi.
After some time, Rishi suddenly said, "Yes," He then started writing something. After putting the pen down, he sighed, his eyes falling on the cup of hot tea. He picked it up naturally and took a sip. Slowly, he started returning to his senses. He noticed someone staring at him; he turned his head in that direction, and as his eyes softened, a smile appeared.
Kajal stood up and left, her ears red. She moved out and looked at the area around her; unlike before, there was not much danger. She was guarded by many Shadow Creatures that were hiding in the shadows.
Rishi ignored her for the time being and started looking at what he had found out, taking little sips one by one. He turned pages and gathered all the information; he then made some changes to it. He had started with the basic question: what was his ability? How did it work? What stops him from creating high-level Shadow Soldiers?
As he answered these questions, he could understand what he was missing. It was as if there was a limit set to creating a high-level Shadow Soldier by this method; he could solve it if he found another way to do it.
He pondered about it, and soon a thought came to mind: Why don't I create a Shadow Frost creature? He didn't use this method, as it was suitable for only low-level opponents who didn't have bigger body structures. For the creatures with high levels and large bodies, he did not prefer it because he had to use extra energy while the effect was not that high.
What if I try to work more in this direction and try to develop it more? It may take some time, but it will all be worth it if I am able to twist the rules. After having this thought, many ideas started coming to him. As he couldn't use 'Extreme Focus' all day, he decided to write them down.
After looking at them, he started to think about adding the Dragonblood, Draconic energy, and Runes into the picture. This would combine all his knowledge. He had saved the corpse of a Raptor Rider Commander, and he wanted to revive it himself.
He also wanted it to be stronger than others at his level. He had first to separate the processes. Like separating his Beast Cultivation knowledge and creating a way to upgrade the Shadow Creature, it was closely related to it, while it was only a part of the process.
Next, he would use the knowledge of the Rune Master and the Dragon Runes to create some Runes that could help him absorb the Draconic Energy and grow stronger like other Shadow Creatures he had created. For this process, he also needed to work separately.
The last process was improving the technique itself. He was thinking of making it more complicated, which could help him create stronger shadow creatures. Its concept was simple; he had learned that in order for your spell to gain something, you have to sacrifice something.
When he first created it, he focused most on ease and convenience, and because of that, the strength of his spell decreased. It had only now become powerful after he had improved and mastered it. Others do rituals not because they want their spell to be fancy. Some rituals aid in the casting of spells or summoning.
These little changes have a huge effect when applied together. He started working on it, but this time he knew exactly what he was doing. At first, he started with the first thing: He had to use his knowledge and experience as a Beast Cultivator to create a way to make shadow creatures stronger or even possibly evolve them.
It was out of the scope of the ordinary Beast cultivators, but Rishi was planning to do it. If there was one thing he was an expert in, it was this field. It was his strength, so he put in the most challenging work for it; he needed to use his inspection many times on the creatures and find ways that could work.
He also needed to think of a way to improve the bloodline of the Shadow Creatures. Even after becoming the Shadow Creatures, they all still had dragon bloodlines. If he could find a way to improve it in the creatures he summoned, then it would greatly benefit him.
It was already night, and he decided to take some rest. He stood up and stretched before joining Kajal at the dinner table. She had already prepared dinner, and eating dinner with her helped him recover some energy. Next, he joined her for a small stroll around the nearby area. After working hard for so long, he thought he should rest.
He could also see that Kajal was getting bored. He thought that he should not make her suffer because of him. If he were alone, he would not have stopped until he was done. They were moving around when his eyes fell on a Shadow Creature that was a little different.
At first, he could not recognize him, but as he looked properly, he guessed who it might be. It was a six-foot-long Shadow creature wearing a long robe. Its eyes had violet flames like others. He was holding a staff with a lizard skull in his right hand.
He looked as if he were a natural Humanoid Creature, Not a creature made up of only Shadow Energy. From its presence, Rishi could guess that it had become a lot stronger than its past self. He approached it and encircled it.
Priest, how does it feel to become a Shadow priest?" He said, putting his hand on his shoulders, that it didn't react to Rishi's comment.
"Don't worry, bro; I will soon turn that female priest into a Shadow creature. You look better in this form. It also looks as if you have overcome the shackles of your mortal body." said Rishi, Shadow priest had become a different person now; he didn't react to Rishi.
"We will talk later," he said as he followed Kajal. He wanted to spend time with her.
