The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

231 Forest of Shadows (2)



The withering trees have completely withered; the others have adapted to the environment and mutated. Even the grass was different; He looked around and noticed that everything had rapidly changed.

The sounds of various magic beasts made this forest more lively. These magic beasts were different from others; they had a trace of darkness or the shadow element on them or immunity to it. From normal eyes, it looked like a forest with the shadow element in concentration, but when looking through a special sensory type skill, there was a difference.

He used shadow sense, and an invisible sense moved towards the surrounding area, having him as its center. He carefully scanned his surroundings and noticed that there were small cracks in the shadows that were releasing pure shadow energy into the environment.

He noticed that the cracks were longer in the center of the forest; many shadow beasts fought against each other to claim the spot that released the most shadow energy. Rishi activated his stealth and started approaching the main battlefield. He could care less about the reason for this change; this was an opportunity for him to become stronger.

In his past month in this forest, he had improved a lot; now he had a basic idea about all his skills. He had also developed a fighting style that was suitable for him. He searched the internet and gathered more information about how the people who use telekinesis like to use weapons to fight. While browsing, he was inspired by a girl who used Chakram weapons.

This weapon, unlike swords and spears, was made to be used in the air. It gains momentum in the air and deals massive damage; This reminded him of folk tales he had heard in which a powerful chakram could move around by itself and destroy any opponent. It can follow an enemy and is impossible to dodge.

It took him some time to figure out the perfect shape; unlike other Chakram users, he was not going to use it to fight like a melee weapon. He was thinking of making it into a pure throwing weapon that had sharp edges. For starters, he could now create two of these and control them; he was thinking of increasing their numbers as he improved.

He had also experimented with his shadow weapons and even tried to get some answers that he was also curious about like; Can his weapons made up of shadow energy have any effect on magic beasts with shadow elements?" He tested it and found out that it does not act as a lethal poison inside the bodies of beats with the shadow element, but it does make them uncomfortable and make the wounds harder to heal. He also discovered that weapons created by shadow energy can fatally wound shadow beasts.

One of the most annoying abilities of Shadow Beasts is their ability to ignore some amount of physical damage, but it was now not a problem for him. He had also learned the 'Shadow Blink' skill that could help him teleport to the nearest shadow. It was a beginner's skill, and its skill book was available online. He already knew its principles, but he was not satisfied with them.

He tried to make it more suitable for himself, and finally, after his long struggle and failures, he succeeded in creating it. His 'Shadow Blink' allowed him to teleport into a shadow and remain in that shadow for a while. This made it an excellent initiating skill, and with 'Shadow Walk,' he could now also escape easily.

He wanted to improve it more, but he was not capable of doing so right now. He had plans to improve it in the future, and he was now getting experience in creating new skills. He has also managed to improve his 'Animate Shadow' skill. It now requires less time to cast, and the shadow is now able to have 50% of its original strength. He was also able to summon three shadows at a time.

He had also completed the first phase of his 'Shadow Marionette' spell, which was his self-created AOE spell that helped him manipulate the shadows of his opponents to eliminate them. The only bad part was that he could not extract shadow energy from the opponents against whom this spell was used.

He sneakily appeared in the center area of the forest and started to look at the situation, confident that he didn't want to take a risk.

The battle was taking place outside a cave; he could sense many shadow beasts concealing themselves, waiting for the perfect opportunity, while others were waiting outside the entrance of the cave. He got curious and sensed a dangerous presence from inside when, as a beast was about to enter, a dark orb came out of nowhere and hit it, blasting it meters away.

This shocked Rishi, as he had seen it. Beats tried to dodge the attack by turning into a shadow, but he was still hit by it. This sent a chill down Rishi's spine, as he was sure he couldn't do better. So shadow spells are able to counter each other if the affinity and control of their use are greater. This was an eye-opener; he already knew 'Shadow Walk' had a limit, and in front of an experienced opponent, it was just a flashy trick that could be countered easily.

It was a warning to him also; he now needed to start learning the "Ice Element," which would give him more defense. He looked in front and saw a long, five-meter serpent beast; it had a red iris and grey lines on its scales. There were sharp spikes that started from its neck and went to its back; Its tail had a sharp trident-like shape.

Many beasts ran away when they saw it; the presence it released was enough to make them run with their tails tucked between their legs. Rishi was itching to use the 'inspect' skill on him when he remembered that others get easily trigged when he uses the inspect skill on them, especially stronger opponents.

He will be at a disadvantage if it starts attacking him, so he decided to hold on for now. While he didn't use the inspect skill, he could still make a rough guess about his opponent. From his experience as a beast cultivator, he could guess that it was at least Elite Grade, and from the presence it was releasing, it was above Elite Stage Level five.

This made him at least as strong, if not stronger than the 'Undead Knight Boss Monster' he fought against with his team. He was thinking of what to do when he heard a 'howl' and a group of four shadow beasts appeared. They approached the beast hit by the attack and checked him before roaring at the attacker.
