Chapter 119 - Kare- Kare

A few days later...

After Jomel is used to Empterror, he tiyanak caught a human and Metric.

They told him that they saw the human and electric fighting, and Jomel is always fascinated by animals took the Merectric with him.

Which, the Tiyanak happily gave.

As long as they can be on good terms with this Monster Human, they'd be safe from being devoured.

Well, Jomel didn't find it odd that they would refuse him, since he lost interest in eating metalic things due to Empterrors change of diet, it works for him.

He was about to let the human devoured by Tiyanaks but begged him to be saved.

He refused.

But they told him a secret.

Where the Merectric came from was mysterious, every night there is a bolt of lightning crashing down the abandoned metalic powerplant.

He plans to go in there by taming a Merectric but alas when caught one, he was chased by a group of Malagastric which is the evolved form of Merectric, and also the mighty Fossarctric which the final form.

During that time, he lost the drugs for the taming process.

This Soul-Beast is quite strong especially their final evolution; Fossarctric so choosing this one is a wise choice.

The Merectric to Fossarctric are Electric and Wind type of Soul-Beast, which made them strong because their weaknesses are only rocks or Boulder and cold icy attacks.

But treasure such as lighting treasure is useless to him, even when Jonel senses that the person is not lying.

But the person told him that to get in there, he would have to pass through the dark forests that are full of Soils, Plants, and Insects monstrous beasts.

Jomels eyes sparkled, This time his stomach is the one who is baited.

And person knew the direction but he will not go with them.

Jomel agreed, as for lying...?

He can't sense any lying so he took the man with him.

After an hour he left with an army of hundred of tiyanak, mich to the surprise of the man.

He is thinking that Jomel is one of those monsters in terms of Soul-Beasts.

He is just a lucky Tamer, whose beast didn't submit to him willingly, that's why he is resorting to drugs to tame.

When they reached they have to go their ways.

They split up in terms of the agreement in three different directions. At first, the tiyanak would love to go with him but he refused them saying they would have to go in different directions.

Jomel continued going forward, to the dark forest, and in that night!

The usually dark forest was cut it looks like strong typhoon ravages a part of the big dark forest!

That time Jomel witness the massacre of his Soul-Beast Empterror, terrorize the whole forest right before his very eyes!

He also joined the fight!

Killing countless ghosts like zombie treant creatures and zombified Venomous scorpion Soul-Beasts creatures.

He practiced his Combat form to the maximum limit, His looks during combat form changed into a beautiful sight.

His long black hair turned into silver white and it was on his back like it was being swept by a strong wind all the time.

His claws are sharp with silver metalic colors and his soft feathers are white.

It was his new Combat form!

With his strong kicking techniques, he didn't need to go close combat or melee to the enemy.

His wind kick is range attacks that cut every tress it crosses and so does his brawler kick move.

His Metalic kick can are sharps too and can damage range and melee.

He became a kicking Master.

Plus the Blast wind or Wind Blast is sick, it is like he can arrive instantly to the enemy!

He just needs to control more to avoid crashing, which happens from time to time.

His hunger was gone he had eaten a lot of that treant beast and they taste so tasty.

Treants are Evil and Spirit Type of Soul-Beast that can use Plant attacks like wood spear etc.

The distinct flavor of treant-like corrupted Soul-Beasts comes from the combination of Evil aura because it is like roasted plant aura like roasted peanuts and spirit is like a sweet milky, soft and creamy with a little bit of toasted rice.

It's earthy, slightly sweet, rich, yet mild-tasting.

Jomel also created a sauce from the blood of scorpions like spiders, and it is perfect with undead treants meat.

Yep, although they may look like wood, deep inside there is meat.

He is not surprised though, even metalic beings have little meat in them and it is tasty.

The sauce is deliberately underseasoned that is so beautifully perfect together if the treated meat is covered with it.

Somewhat similar to African peanut stew and satay peanut sauce but mellower as it doesn't involve any spices.

Yes, it is similar to...

Kare-Kare.

Kare-kare is a Philippine stew/curry complimented with a thick savory peanut sauce.

Derived from the word Kare means curry, Kare-kare which translates curd and curry. It is made from a variation base of stewed oxtail, beef tripe, pork hocks, calves feet, pig's feet or trotters, various cuts of pork, beef stew meat, and occasionally offal or ox tripe.

Kare-kare can also be made with seafood (prawns, squid, and mussels) or vegetables (sometimes exclusively vegetables, becoming Kare-kareng gulay or Guleng Kare-kare in Kembangan).

Vegetables, which include eggplant, Chinese cabbage, or other greens, daikon, green beans, okra, and asparagus beans are added—usually equaling or exceeding the amount of meat.

The stew is flavored with ground roasted peanuts or peanut butter, onions, and garlic. It is colored with annatto and can be thickened with toasted or plain ground rice.

Condiments and other flavorings are usually added to kare-care.

It is often eaten with bagoong (shrimp paste), sometimes spiced with chili, bagoong guisado (spiced and sautéed shrimp paste), and sprinkled with calamansi juice.

Other seasonings are added to the table. Variants may include goat meat or (rarely) chicken.
