BXBX NOVEL Chapter 352 Secret Hideout Of 'Hell's Gate'
The Vast land was filled with trees and had many mountains randomly placed there. Between these never-ending forests, there was a valley that was surrounded by three strange mountains. The Valley appeared so dark that nothing was visible from the top. This place was named Hell\'s Door\' by the Magic Beasts around the area.
There were many strange rumors about this place, such as that no one ever returned from there. There were also rumors that Demons appeared here at night. Every Beast was scared at night as strange roars and cries appeared, but in the morning nothing was visible. Only the bones and corpses were evidence of what happened at night.
This was not the only incident, No matter who was the prey and who was the predator in the day. At night, no one attacked each other and tried to stay silent because Shadow talked. Soon the sun set, and the forest that was full of the cries of various Magic Beasts became silent.
\'Whoosh\'
The sound came, and soon uncountable shadows appeared from the Valley. When they moved together, they created a dark veil. No one dared to fly when they saw this. It was as if no one dared to challenge their authority. Some strong, high-level Elite Beasts have tried only to find themselves devoured. These flying demons only drank the blood of their prey.
Similar to them, multiple strange creatures appeared that were terrifying. They feasted on their prey all night before disappearing into Shadow as the sun rose. It was not that they were scared of the sun; It was just that they liked hunting at night.
A silver-haired boy appeared above the Valley, sitting on the back of a four-meter-tall bird with six wings and a wing span of seven meters. The bird then suddenly disappeared, and the boy started falling. Instead of looking tense or scared, he looked calm and collected.
As he was just ten meters above the ground, Two black-colored long wings appeared on his back. They released gusts as they flapped; the boy landed soon, and the wings disappeared as if they were never there. Standing inside the Valley infamous for being Hell\'s Gate, the boy had no expression of fear.
As soon as he stepped forward, hundreds of eyes looked at him simultaneously. The next moment, a gust of wind blew his hair away. What appeared in front of him was a terrifying creature with one eye. It was Night Owl; Rishi patted it and gave it some high-quality Beast food.
The next moment, he felt as if the shadows around him had moved. Five shadows flashed in front of him and turned into five humans. They were all kneeling in front of him. At the front was Lax, their leader, while the other four were the new members. Instead of recruiting older adults, he chose young children with potential.
He had also hired some people to look around the place. They were paid very well, but they were not allowed to leave. These people were allowed to meet their families for one week every year; they were even allowed to bring them here.
These people were needed to do the other jobs. The size of the base has increased a lot. There were builders among the people hired. In the past year, they have created many underground rooms and chambers. This was Rishi\'s biggest secret; the only people who knew about it were him, Vinay, and the people present here.
As he moved, he saw multiple Beast lairs built around him; each one of them had different types of beasts. The walls had multiple mysterious runes that were stopping the Shadow Energy from leaking. As he moved, he discovered a big door that had strange symbols. It opened automatically, and the insides were revealed. The insides looked like technologically advanced rooms.
As he moved inside, he saw there were multiple rooms. The builders have even built more rooms underground. For now, most were empty, but one day they would be filled with people. As he surveyed the hideout, he was more and more impressed by the work of the builders.
He felt like all his money had not gone to waste. After surveying and ensuring the progress, he decided it was time to reward everyone for their hard work. He gave all the workers bonuses, but he had something else in mind for assassins. The Shadow Assasins he had created were powerful and could eliminate almost all targets of their level; they could even eliminate opponents much stronger and escape without leaving behind any trace. Rishi was still not satisfied.
These were the things that other experienced and talented assassins could also do. There was only one way to make them stronger and faster, and that was to teach them his techniques. As he had created and mastered them, It was easy for him to teach them to others.
These five people before him all had the shadow element; they were also talented. They have also made contracts with Shadow Demons, due to which they also have higher levels of affinity and Control over the shadow element. Their physique has been transformed twice, first by Rishi and then by the Shadow Demons.
Despite all this, they didn\'t have a high amount of Shadow Energy or powerful Shadow Spells, and Rishi was not scared to share his techniques with them for multiple reasons. First, they have all been made loyal by manipulation and the Dark Arts by Vinay; second, the Shadow Demons listened to him; but the biggest reason was that they would dare use their spells against him.
Instead of gifting them his Techniques and Spells, He first tested them and asked them which type of fighting style they liked. Still, there were some skills that he was going to teach all of them, and they were:
1.) Night Vision: Ability to see at night and in dark places
2.) Shadow Concealment: Conceal yourself in your own Shadow and disappear; staying stationary and inside Shadows will increase the Stealth.
3.) Shadow Steps: Increase movement speed by using Shadow Energy constantly.
4.) Shadow Blink: Move to a nearby Shadow.
5.) Shadow Aura: Use Shadow Energy to create similar-boosting Energy like Aura.
He taught them all these skills in a week and asked them to master them by practicing daily. At first, Rishi had created this force to attack the Tiwari clan, but as his status increased, he did not guess the Tiwari clan would stop provoking him. For now, they are not attacking him openly.
He didn\'t know what they were thinking, but inside his mind, they were enemies, and they needed to suffer now that there were many eyes on him. And he didn\'t need to deal with the Tiwari clan\'s temper, so he decided to use this time to increase their strength further.
Only Lax was of the elite stage, while they all were in the peak Advanced stage. Even if they attacked the Tiwari clan, there was little they could do. Once discovered, they would be hunted down by peak Elite Stage and Epic Stage opponents, which would result in them hiding.
If his enemies were giving him time, Rishi wanted to use this time to strengthen his forces. As time passed, others also will not relate the assassinations to Rishi.
