Today, Rishi felt a little lonely without Kajal. He decided to train for some time and focus on increasing his knowledge of runes by studying the new rune he discovered. As he focused on its profoundness, he was able to learn a lot of things.
He forgot about everything else and focused on it. At first, he was able to learn many new things. They were very simple and basic, but as he studied them, he found that they could significantly affect the final outcome. He decided to meditate for some time, during which he didn't have to think about other things.
All he needs to do is calm himself. After spending some good time with Kajal, he felt his mental health had significantly improved. He became further blessed that he had convinced her and he could finally move on in life and think of big things. While he could easily become famous as a beast cultivator, he wanted to become famous as a Ranker.
He had to also hide his shadow weapon crafting ability from others, as this was the secret related to the hidden force he had created. If this secret got leaked, it would bring him trouble. He was not going to share it with anyone until it was necessary.
It was useless for most people who didn't have shadow elements, while shadow storage could be given to others. It would be very complex to learn, and only someone with a lot of talent would be able to master it. He was thinking of teaching it to Kajal; this would help her hide things from others.
This ability might not be best in storage like 'Dimensional Storage' of Space Element, but this was the best when it comes to hiding things. It left no trace; if mastered, the other person would not even figure out how you were doing it.
He also wanted to grant Kajal a shadow creature that can protect her when he was not present, but unfortunately, his control over the shadow element had not reached that level. It would not be possible until he reaches Epic Stage and has his Shadow Core reach Legendary Grade.
Both would need some time as he cleared out his thoughts. He was ready to start a new session by learning more about the runic knowledge. As he was learning it, he was getting to know that it had a lot of potential. If it was mastered, he would be able to make use of his shadow construct to create arrays.
This ability would make him stronger; he would also be able to increase the strength and potential of shadow creatures, but once he had mastered it, he would be able to have more beasts than other Beast Tamers; this would help him a lot while facing multiple opponents.
Only after reaching here did he realize the potential of this method. As time passes, he may be able to improve it further and be able to create strong soldiers in an instant. Now that he thought teaching this method to one of his shadow assassins was the right choice, as he focuses on it, he will be able to learn more things about it. Rishi can easily get his feedback and improve its flaws in a systematic manner.

In the deeper area of the forest, there was a strange cave. It was filled with darkness; only the two torches burning there helped to see clearly. The water was dripping from time to time, making a dripping sound.
A six-meter-long beast could be seen there. Its body was still filled with injuries. A girl with long black hair could be seen taking care of him. She applied the medicinal paste to his wounds and fed him food. After spending some time together, the beasts had gotten fond of her. He rubbed his head on her.
Kajal thought that it was time. She explained to him, "Draco, it will take you months to recover, but I will need to leave in some days. Take care of yourself."
The woman was shocked. It looked at the girl, and her eyes moistened. It wanted to be with her. She was such a good companion. His clan always treated him as trash; no one took him seriously. It was the first time in his life that someone had helped and treated him with so much care.
Kajal looked at his reaction and continued, "There is a way for you to be with me and leave this place; I come from the outside world, which is filled with many creatures. There, you can enjoy many different kinds of delicasies daily. You will also be able to become a lot stronger."
"Your wounds would also be healed very rapidly. For that, you have to sign the companion contract with me," she said as she took out her book of contracts and offered him the contract.
The beast checked all the terms before it touched it with its head. The contract was accepted. It turned into white light and entered the 'Book of Contracts.' Kajal was stunned, not believing she had succeeded. Her heart was racing very fast. She opened her book of contracts and soon found out about the status window.
As she read its skills, she was shocked. This beast had powerful abilities if she could train him. He could become skillful. She released a long sigh, and a smile appeared on her face. She fell, sitting in her place softly, tired of taking care of this beast continuously.
After thinking about the one who had made this all possible, thoughts of Rishi started coming to her mind. She realized how much he mattered to her after not meeting for some time. It took her a long time to sort out her thoughts, but there was no looking back once she did.
After resting for some time, she stood up and decided to get ready. She was in a mess; she didn't want to meet Rishi in this condition.

The sun was already near the horizon. At this time, the beasts were moving back to their lairs. Some creatures were making excited sounds; these were shadow creatures. They liked to move at night, as this was the time when they were at their peak strength. It was also fun ambushing opponents.
Close to them was a cave in which a boy could be seen. His eyes were focusing on the creature in front of him. A large, three-meter raptor could be seen sitting on the floor with its eyes closed. Its body was filled with energy, and its presence was enough to make anyone shiver.
In front of him, a humanoid creature was meditating. It looked like a humanoid reptilian creature. The scales around its body have increased, and the rune on its chest constantly shone in a light golden hue. It slowly opened its eyes, and a light purple-colored flame revealed itself. It released an icy, cold presence that decreased the temperature of its surroundings.
Rishi's lips curled up as he looked at the monster. He was happy that it was finally ready. "Shadow Rider, It's now time for you to get even stronger. Are you excited?"
The beast clenched its hand. A powerful presence was released. The flame inside its eyes increased as it nodded its head, clenching its fists. The raptor behind him also opened its eyes and became active.
