CHAPTER 22
YIN BEAST AND RANK UP
*Roar*
The Steel Armoured Centipede couldn’t take it anymore and started to charge at Shadowslash.
It caught Shadowslash and bit him into halves but only gain a couple of gas.
Shadowslash was in the bushes looking at the Steel Armoured Centipede killing one of his clones. The speed it showed proved to be troublesome. Because of that, JM couldn’t trap it in a quicksand.
It seems that he needs to use some drastic measures, too. He then leveled up the [Flame Bullet] into level 4.
He now used [Rapid Fire Flame Bullets] again for his attacks. However, this time the effect was much better than the first time he showcased it. The carapace of the Steel Armoured Centipede was cracking under the barrage.
Green liquids kept flowing from the crack making the Steel Armoured Centipede overwhelmed with anger. It is also currently in agony and it tried to use its poison spit again as a counterattack only to be melted by Shadow’s [Flame Bullets].
.....
After half an hour, the Steel Armoured Centipede finally died. Even though it was poisonous, he let JM consume it as he wants him gain some poison resistance by feeding it to him.
After consuming the Steel Armoured Centipede carcass JM suddenly turned a little green it seems that the poison is taking effect but it only lasted for a couple of minutes it was replaced by a glowing light
The bright light last for an hour before finally subsiding. It indicates that JM was finally able to Rank up into Silver Rank.
JM
(Silver Lvl 1) (Very Rare) (Steeled Earthen Armadillo) (Steel and Ground Type)
After JM finished his evolution he told them that he can now help Shadow in fighting other monsters in close combat. After Ranking up into Silver Rank, his body was now fully covered in thick armour while his claws were made sharper by steel element making it extremely honed and sturdy.
Hearing such declaration, Shadowslash was happy for him. He have always known that JM always wanted to fight side-by-side with him.
They then continued their hunt and exploration enthusiastically.
In just 20 minutes, they found another rare plant and it looks like a banana.
(
Golden Banana
:
The fruit that it produces will enhance the strength of the consumer by 10%.
Reminder : Prolong eatingof? the Golden Banana’s Fruit will increase the consumer’s strength bit by bit.
Reminder : The effect only works on Excellent Grade and below.
Quality : Blue Quality)
Seeing the description of the plant, Shadowslash became keenly interested and was about to call for France. Nevertheless, the SYSTEM suddenly notified him about something that made him more than happy.
(Leafinia have gained ability for plant transport)
(Plant Transport : Can teleport a plant near into the user’s territory.
Reminder : Can only work on Orange Quality and below)
He then initiated his contract with Leafinia and touched the Golden Banana, teleporting it to the other side.
Seeing this, the others eyes bulged. Don Don came forward and starts to inspect the place out of curiosity. He looked at where the Golden Banana was planted earlier. Upon realising it was truly gone, he started jumping and pointing as if telling he saw a ghost.
Seeing the others did not even bother with him, he got angry and picked a rock then throws it into JM.
*Ping*
It accurately hits JM’s head.
Seeing this, Don Don started to laugh as well as jeered at him.
JM was about to teach Don Don a lesson when he saw the latter actually climbed a tree then started to make fun of him again.
Shadowslash burst into laughter. He also marvelled at how cunning this monkey is. He obviously knows that JM couldn’t climb a tree as it is one of his weakness, and used this to his advantage.
After the little prelude they started exploring some more. This time they saw many rare plants in which Shadowslash teleported back as well. When they were returning back home, Shadowslash suddenly stops and looks at a monster.
Yin Beast
(Silver Lvl 8) (Excellent) (Yin Type)
Seeing this, he told JM not to charge at be but become his support for now. He also told Flora to only use [Fireball] when they start the fight.
Shadow begun his assualt and used [Rapid Fire Flame Bullets]. The others have also followed and made their own contributions, even Don Don did. Although, he only knows to throw rocks as of the moment.
*Boom* *Boom*
A ery surprising thing happened. When the fire type attacks hit the Yin Beast, it lets out a pained roar. Meanwhile, the other attacks just passed through it’s body.
With countless [Flame Bullets] drowning the Yin Beast, it was now badly injured. Suddenly, a dangerous flash came out if its eyes. It lets out a loud roar and countless [Yin Blades] started to come out from it, shooting them.
Upon seeing its move, Shadowslash made sure to intensify his [Rapid Flame Bullets], disregarding his Mana that is rapidly running out.
In just a couple of minutes Shadowslash and the Yin Beast completely run out of Mana. They are only left with their Energy now.
The two of them stared at each other before suddenly charging towards each other with giving it all despite their situation.
The Yin Beast raised its paw and smacks it down into Shadowslash.
Shadowslash nimbly dodge it and sent slash towards the Yin Beast. Nonetheless, it did not even manage to hurt it at all. Every one of his attacks just past through it so he immediately decided to retreat.
When the Yin Beast saw that Shadowslash was retreating, it lets out a loud roar again and started to chase after him.
When the Yin Beast was about to catch up to Shadowslash, a [Fireball] suddenly hit its face causing it to step back.
Shadowslash let out a cunning smile. When he saw that him and the Yin Beast were in a deadlock position earlier, he gestured to Flora to stop firing to lower its guard.
The Yin Beast looks at Flora and decided to target her. It started to charge towards her but then it suddenly saw a monster, with a size of a regular wolf having a silver like body, who happens to be coming in its direction.
It was JM. Knowing that Flora was a great variable in the battle, he decided to tank the Yin Beast while letting her continuously shoot her [Fireball].
The Yin Beast got very angry because it was being assualted on both sides. It was charging to the other yet was also receiving Flora’s attack. Now seeing that there was actually somebody obstructing its way to Flora, it became even more furious. Therefore it swing its paw towards JM.
*Ding*
Its attack hits JM but only produced a sound and did not even manage to make it retreat. It got even mad and started to focus his offense to continuously attack JM.
JM was being a sandbag for the Yin Beast but? continued to hold on. He dug his claws dip into the ground so that he won’t be blown away from the relentless blows of the Yin Beast, annoying it more.
The Yin Beast got so furious that it began to attack carelessly. Not only did it not manage to blow JM away from its countless strikes, it was also being hit by fireballs all the time. In addition, if it stops and was about to charged towards the pesky fox, the monster in front of would always hinder it.
5 minutes passed and the Yin Beast still have not managed to get close to Flora.
Suddenly 5 [Flame Bullets] appeared and hits the Yin Beast head causing it to release a more pained roar.
When the Yin Beast was also about to use its skills as well, another [Fireball] hit it causing its aura and energy to become much weaker making it vulnerable.
Knowing it will definitely die if this continues, it had actually decided to flee. However, it was still obstructed by JM.
After an hour, the Yin Beast finally falls and die. All of them, except for Don Don, were extremely exhausted, more especially for Shadowslash.
Resting for a couple of minutes, Shadowslash decided to call for France to pick them up.
When they arrived to their home, Flora was holding the core of the Yin Beast and followed Shadowslash’s instruction about swallowing up of the core. Also, she made sure to drink a good amount of yin water.
She then falls to sleep as the yin energy from the pool and the surrounding gather towards her, especially now that it was night time.
Seeing that it will take a long time before she finished her evolution, the others had taken their dinner and slept soundly.
The next day, when they woke up they excitedly went to the Yin Pond. After finally getting there, they saw an extremely flawless white fox.
Flora have now Ranked up and evolved. She had grown another tail and became a bit bigger. Moreover, the charm that she emits have greatly increased, and as for her color, she was now all white.
Shadowslash was at first dazed when he felt her seductive aura but it only lasted for a minute. He started to scan her to get information from the system.
Flora
(Silver Lvl 1) (Superior) (2 Tailed Demon Fox) (Fire and Yin Type)
She have now become one of the strongest members of the family.
Shadowslash was extremly satisfied with everyone’s progress. Therefore, he decided to relax for now.
The whole family then started to play as a relaxation. France and Karl were playing with each other or more accurately, France was bullying Karl. Even Clwyd was even there with France jesting Karl.
JM was chasing Don Don because of being hit by his rock from last time since he wanted some payback.
Meanwhile, the girls were having a meeting near the Yin Pond.
Sans was using his free time to train his moves while Shadowslash was relaxing underneath the Luminous Tree of Life.
Shadowslash, as seeing the serenity, decided to only hunt and explore in the forest thrice a week. The majority of his time will be spent bonding with his family.
