BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 Forest Of Shadows (4)
Many broken pieces of trees could be seen; A black smoke was coming out of them, making them wither. In the center was a giant crater; it looked like a meteor had fallen there. Nothing was clearly visible, but howls could be heard; some beasts were crying.
After some time, no sound came; it was total silence, as if there was no one. Then, a hissing sound came, sending chills to everyone who heard it. The sounds of slams and small explosions were still coming. As the dust settled, two creatures could be seen fighting with each other. They were both injured and tired, but no one was willing to back down now.
They fought for several minutes without a clear winner, but after some time, the flying creature with one eye started losing. It could not contest with its opponent, and as soon as it ran out of shadow energy and mana, it started to lose. This made it realize that it could not fight now that its body was covered in shadow energy. As it shot back to escape, the serpent creature hissed as its trident-shaped tail disappeared and appeared before the opponent, pinning it down to the ground.
The wounds of attacks and rotten skin could be seen. Its green blood was constantly dripping. It had shrunk from five meters to merely three meters; anyone could guess that it was in its last moments, but the presence it released right now was still intimidating. It used its fangs to devour its opponent alive.
It was then that it heard a cry; A flying creature appeared above it with six wings, It released a skill, and multiple chains of ice appeared out of nowhere and bound both of the beasts. Then numerous black chains appeared from the shadows and bound them. A figure jumped from a tree and slashed its sword, which was burning in a Dark fire.
A symbol of a six-sided star appeared inside a triangle; this sword attack hit them and blasted them before turning into nine separate sword slashes and attacking them. Six sword slashes hit the bird-type creature and chopped its head into pieces, while the last three hit the serpent and further injured him.
The serpent beast was about to go berserk when more chains appeared from the shadows near him and bound him even tighter. The creature in the sky breathed a blue fire, which started freezing the serpent, but it didn\'t stop there; it cried again, and a big red magic circle burning in fire appeared in the sky, and meteors started coming out of them, and landing on the serpent.
Five meteors hit and made the crater even deeper. There was silence once again; the only difference was that pieces of ice and fire could be seen near the area. A silver-colored boy could be seen approaching the place with a sword covered in Dark fire in his hand; Two black-colored Chakrams with sharp edges could be seen following him.
The feathered creature moved his wings and created a gust of wind, removing the dust and smoke. The boy took each step cautiously and started searching; He saw a three-meter creature bleeding all over. Half of its body was burned, while the other half was frozen.
It showed no emotion when the boy approached it and was only five meters away when its eyes opened. The red eyes shone, and a tail covered in ice appeared from Rishi\'s back and was about to stab him. Rishi used \'Shadow Blink\' and appeared behind the opponent, simultaneously focusing his liquid aura on the edge of his sword. He slashed at the back part of the opponent\'s neck and beheaded him.
It was thanks to his previous attacks that had hit the front part of its neck, which made beheading it easier plus the strength of his full-charged Sword Aura could not be underestimated.
A fountain of green fluid came out of it, and Rishi moved back, not taking any risk. The blood of some magic beasts could be poisonous, especially the serpent type; he was not thinking of taking any risks. Even after eliminating the opponent, he felt as if he was missing something, but he could not think of what it could be.
It was then that he remembered that he had not found the corpse of the other magic beast. He used "shadow sense" and sensed a faint ripple. He focused and discovered the shadow of the one-eyed creature he had eliminated was trying to escape wearing the same demon pendant. He pointed in its direction.
One of the chakrams behind him spun and moved towards the place where it swiftly caught the running opponent and slashed the shadow in half. The shadow entered the pendant. The Chakram caught the pendant and brought it back; Rishi saw it and was shocked.
High-level beasts have ways of escaping, especially these tricky ones. He used his \'inspect\' skill on the pendant, and a widow appeared before him.
[NAME: Summoning Relic

"What?" Rishi\'s mouth widened. "This is a treasure." He couldn\'t believe there were beasts, but he was already aware it was not simple, which was why he tried to eliminate them first. "Don\'t tell me this beast was injured and was looking for a source of shadow energy to recover faster; I have hit the jackpot."
"With this plus the Shadow Core and Beast Core of the Serpent Creature and other nearby beasts, I will be able to get a lot of money for them. The other parts of these magic beasts might also be similarly precious." He quickly gathered all the valuable parts and stored them inside his ring before using his sword aura to make them disappear.
Now that he had such a precious thing, he felt danger lurking around. He cleared his tracks and moved inside the cave; He wanted to finish as fast as possible before leaving this forest. The adventurers may come at any moment; this place will soon get attention, and everyone will be curious about what happened here. Rishi didn\'t want to get their attention.
He asked his contract beast to monitor the surroundings and inform him if someone had entered the forest. He moved to the cave and stared, looking for the perfect spot to train his Shadow Element.
