Chapter 128: Fire vine's skills

While the beasts were busy fighting one another, Henrick was excitedly checking the daily missions of the day.

It's been around half a month since he last completed the daily missions and got rewards from the system for those missions.

Although he was trying to circulate one full rotation of the pure internal fire energy to refine his muscles, he was unable to complete it until now when he was so in a critical situation.

'Ding,

Daily missions,

1) Complete one complete circulation of pure internal fire energy.

Progress:- (1/1). Completed.

2) Transfer 10 percent of pure internal fire energy to the fire vine seed.

Progress:- (0/10). Not completed.

3) Kill a hundred fire ghouls.

Progress:- (69/100). Not completed.

Soon, a lengthy halographic screen appeared in front of him with all three daily missions.

'The other two missions are not very hard. I can complete them without any problem, but I need to finish my other newbie mission too,' Henrick felt he could complete the daily missions; however, his worry was managing the time.

That's right!

Before evening, he had to get out of the beast mountain; otherwise, he would be in huge trouble because it was the time when the beasts roamed in hordes.

So, Henrick was in a hurry to leave out of this fire ghoul cave.

'I just need to clear another fire ghoul cave, then I can complete the daily missions and get rewards from the system after a long time,' Henrick gave more preference to the daily missions because he finally got back the hope in completing the daily missions. 

Moreover, since he was completing the daily missions after a long time, he hoped the rewards would be good.

Some might think he must be risking his life by entering another fire ghoul cave; however, as long as he left this fire ghoul cave, he had enough confidence to clear the next fire ghoul cave.

'For a newbie mission, it is impossible to encounter a rank 3 beast. Only my luck is bad that I encountered one...sigh,' Looking at the rank 3 mutated fire ghoul, Henrick sighed at his back luck.

'Until Spark kills the mutated fire ghoul, I will complete another daily mission,' Henrick stopped watching the fight between the beast as he decided to complete another mission.

Although the fire monkey was stronger than the mutated fire ghoul, it was still unable to completely defeat it.

Just when the fire monkey used a critical blow, the mutated fire ghoul mysteriously escapes that attack and maintains a steady battle with the fire monkey.

Coming to the attacks of the fire monkey, it used almost all of its skills and according to the situation, it repeated its attacks.

As for the mutated fire ghoul, it was as fast as a lightning sparrow. Using its speed to dodge the critical blows and at the same time, made some injuries to the fire monkey.

'Firevine seed, come out,'

Without wasting any time, he summoned the fire vine seed from his dantian.

'Swoosh'

As soon as he called, a small red-coloured seed with a small sprout of around 10 centimetres appeared in front of Henrick. 

'You are a glutton, little one. No matter how much pure internal fire energy I gave you, you are still so small without any skills,' Henrick bitterly shook his head at the hovering fire vine seed in front of him.

From the beginning to now, Henrick must have given it around 50 percent of pure internal fire energy; however, there were not many changes to it making Henrick a little sad.

'If not for the daily missions, I would have not given that much of pure internal fire energy,' Henrick honestly said his feelings as he held the fire vine seed in his hands and said, "I hope you don't make me regret giving this much pure internal fire energy."

According to the system evaluation, the fire vine seed was a good battle companion compared to the tamed beasts. So, Henrick hoped it was true.

Soon, Henrick slowly started the process of transmitting his pure internal fire energy to the fire vine seed.

'Since I have to enter another fire ghoul cave to reach 100 fire ghoul killings for my daily mission, I will cover this 10 percent of pure internal fire energy,' while transmitting his pure internal fire energy, Henrick thought in his head about the 10 percent of pure internal fire energy.

Even though he needs to save the pure internal fire energy to the hundred percent to finish the system mission, he thought he had to clear another fire ghoul cave. So, 10 percent of pure internal fire energy won't make much difference.

'Huh?'

Even a minute had not passed and Henrick noticed some changes in the fire vine seed making him raise his brows for a moment before he thought, 'Finally, it is growing. I hope it will become at least rank 1 battle companion now.'

Henrick didn't' stop transmitting the pure internal fire energy. Moreover, he even increased the speed at which he transmitted the pure internal fire energy.

Soon a couple of minutes were passed by and Henrick successfully completed his second daily mission.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master for completing the second daily mission.

Henrick didn't bother with the system notification as he looked at the fire vine seed in front of him.

'Finally….,' Henrick was so excited at the growing fire vine seed that he could not finish his words.

The small sprout from the fire vine seed had turned into a red-coloured vine of around 1 meter.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master, the fire vine seed has now turned into a fire vine.

'Ding,

Fire vine has reached rank 2 and awakened some skills. Please check its status page.

While he was observing the fire vine seed in front of him, Henrick noticed that the fire vine seed stopped growing and at the same time, his head was filled with the system notifications.

'What? It already reached rank 2?' Henrick was shocked by the second system notification as he hurriedly thought to check the new skills of the fire vine seed.

Until a few moments ago, the fire vine seed was a rank 0 battle companion and all of a sudden, it turned into a rank 2 battle companion. So, of course, he was surprised with the sudden increase in the rank of the fire vine seed.

'Ding,

Battle companion:- Fire vine 

Rank:- 2

Vine length:- 1 meter.

Skills:- Bind, Energy ingest.

Description:- A plant type battle companion that could resist any type of flames.

'Nice...nice ...nice,' Seeing the halographic screen in front of him, Henrick silently said 'Nice' three times before focusing on the skills.

'Ding,

Skill name:- Bind

Effect:- Can stop all the movements of the selected target.

Description:- The vine length will be temporarily increased and wrap around the enemies to stop their movements.

Note:- Depending on the physical strength of the selected targets, the binding time changes.

'Ding,

Skill name:- Energy ingest

Effect:- Can consume all types of flame type energies to increase its strength and cultivation.

Description:- As long as the fire vine is in contact with a fire type energy source be it a living being or energy reserve, it could absorb the energy from them.

Note:- 1) When it absorbs the fire energy from the living beings, it will have some difficulty in absorbing the fire energy from the high-level cultivators.

2) The skill is limited only to fire type energies.

Within no time, the complete information about the fire vine's two skills appeared in front of him.

'Haha...finally, the pure internal fire energy that I have been giving to you, didn't go to waste,' Henrick was very happy with the fire vine because all his investment was worth it.

'Maybe, it stored all the pure internal fire energy and used it at once to break through to the rank 2,' Henrick reasoned the sudden increase behind the fire vine seed's cultivation.

"Huh?"

While he was being happy with the fire vine's growth, he unconsciously glanced at the beats which were fighting one another and raised his brows.

'What happened to Spark? Why does it look so weak all of a sudden?' Henrick noticed that the fire monkey's battle prowess was decreasing for some reason.

'Ding,

Master, your tamed beast's celestial form will be over in a minute.

"What?"
