Chapter 17：CHAPTER 16 FLAME NIMBUS LION

Underneath the rhino the ground turn into quicksand causing its heavy body sink very quickly but afterwards it felt that quicksand was full of Mana and knows that it is a skill or an ability it lets out a snort dispersing the quicksand

Seeing the quicksand disappear Shadowslash expression changed and immediately fired a [Fireball] towards the rhino and slips into the bushes

*Boom* the rhino took the attack head on and did not even feel pain its body was like a tank so it was not scared of attacks

Shadowslash was now talking with JM in the bushes hiding from the rhino the [Fireball] earlier was a diversion to regroup with JM and change their plan

"JM what happened why did your quicksand disappeared" Shadowslash asks looking confused

"Boss that rhino must have the ability [Earth Manipulation] one of the weakness of my [Quicksand] skill" JM helplessly explained

Hearing the explanation Shadowslash nodded the possiblity is pretty high that the Earthen Steel Rhino have the an [Earth Manipulation] ability

"Lets risk it I will use [Clairvoyance] JM back me up even though it is a tough opponent with me tanking it we will have a 70% chance of winning"

JM nodded seriously he knows that it is Shadowslash that is taking the most dangerous role in the fight

Shadowslash then dash towards the rhino again but this time he used [Clairvoyance] when he activated he predicted what the rhino's move accurately

He suddenly jumps mid air and fired a [Fireball] blasting the rhino's face underneath him was spikes made of rock

The rhino was very bewildered and surprised that Shadowslash predicted its next move

Shadowslash wasn't finished he continuously shoots [Fireball] and every hit was a bullseye not only the [Clairvoyance] give him the ability to predict the opponents next move it also raises his accuracy to a whole new level

[Fireball] to [Fireball] it continuously hit the rhino's face what angers it more is that JM would sneak attack it using its signature move [Roll]

*Roar* The rhino could not take it anymore started to charge blindly hitting many trees in the process

Shadowslash eyes lit up seeing that the rhino lost its patience he immediately pounce towards the rhino and used [Dark Slash] to blind the remaining eye

He then nimbly used his tails again and gain some distance

The rhino let out a hysterical roar it is now blind and could not see anything anymore and what makes matter worst is that Shadowslash kept using [Dark Slash] and hitting its face accurately it is now bleeding in the face

*Bam* JM hits the rhino's left side of its face and continuously use [Roll] and ramming the rhino's face

Shadowslash [Dark Slash] was at first only leaves white mark but continuously hitting the same area over and over again

Within an hour the rhino was battered down it was bleeding very seriously and now felt spent especially since Shadowslash made a cut on its neck it lets out one last roar and finally slumps to the ground dead

Shadowslash and JM also slumps and was panting greatly especially Shadowslash it couldn't even open his eyes it was still not used in [Clairvoyance] so he need to at least rest his eyes for an hour before opening them

"JM eat the Earthen Steel Rhino carcass now and remember you need to eat everything including its horn to evolve go now I need to rest"

JM then exhaustedly approaches the Earthen Steel Rhino carcass and started eating it

3 hours later JM finally finish evolving and when Shadowslash scans his new data

JM (Bronze Lvl 4) (Very Rare) (Steel Scaled Earthen Armadillo) (Steel and Ground Type)

He nodded and was very satisfied with his improvement he was also happy because he also leveled up after the fight

They then returned and saw that the girls are not there but explosion was coming from the back he knew that their mock battle was still ongoing

When night came the girls all returned after their training and all of them level up and Shadowslash was also planning in finding a suitable prey for Flare to Rank up she is already Level 8 and with the daily meal of dragon meat leveling up to Level 10 will just take a couple of days

After having dinner they all sleep peacefully it is the greatest method to assimilate the energy from the dragon meat

The next morning everyone woke up early and got ready to start their daily training when suddenly France also woke and finished his evolution he lets out a high pitched screech and flew towards the dragon carcass and starts to consume it

France was getting bigger and bigger finally after half an hour its size was now at least 2 bulls combined before its size is just the size of a big wolf so its strength definitely increased drastically its purple feathers became even more vibrant and the tips are golden yellow its even crackling

After finishing his evolution France looks very energetic but the first thing it did was bowed his head to Shadowslash as a form of gratitude if he did not rescue him when it was gravely injured it wouldn't be the monster it is now

"Okay I understand and since you are full of energy I want you to start hunting 3 Water Type or Ice Type monster everyday and all of them must be Silver Rank at least understand?"

France nodded and patted his chest as a form of brag like saying "Leave it to me I can definitely accomplish the mission"

France then got out the cave and flew Shadowslash lets out a smile the daily quota of Water Type monster is for Clwyd he wants to greatly strengthen it so that it can guard the cave entrance much more efficiently

After watering the Luminous Tree of Life with dragon blood he brought JM, Flare and Foxxy to explore the forest this is the idea he will be implementing from now on he will bring 2 different foxes each exploration

They then set off searching for suitable prey to hunt and plants to transplant into the cave

A couple of hours have gone by in the past hours they did not found any suitable prey but they did found a {Orange Quality} plant the Bloody Fruit Tree even though its name sound scary but actually its fruit has an amazing effect of cleaning the blood and also if a person is suffering from any diseases that are blood related this is one of the most basic but effective ingredient to take

When they were about to return back to the cave and waits for France to return and have him carry the tree Shadowslash suddenly stops and was rooted in place he found a very suitable monster to hunt

Flaming Nimbus Lion (Silver Lvl 5) (Very Rare) (Strength and Fire Type)

Shadowslash then nodded at JM it is their signal of using [Quicksand] to trap a prey

He then dash towards the lion and shoot a [Fireball] towards the lion

*Boom* the attack exploded at the back of the lion

*Roar* feeling the attack the Flaming Nimbus Lion let out an enraged roar even though the attack did not cause it much pain it was still enraged that there was something that dared to attack it and it got even angrier seeing that its attacker was a small Bronze Rank fox

It was about to retaliate when suddenly started to sink it was startled at first then felt Mana from the [Quicksand] and deduce that it is a skill it lets out a loud roar causing Shadowslash and the others to cover there ears

While Shadowslash head was still buzzing the lion attack him with its own [Fireball] the only difference is that it is much more hotter and bigger than Shadowslash it seems that its [Fireball] is on {Red Quality}

*Boom* the attack was timely blocked by JM using his body even though he was blown away but he was prepared and shielded Shadowslash in its curl up form making the force of the attack lessen greatly

"All if you rain down hell!!!" he then started to attack the lion using [Fireball] what's surprised him though is that Foxxy used another skill other than [Fireball] a skill that looks like [Yin Blade] while JM was using his newly acquired skill [Mud Bullets]

The Flaming Nimbus Lion struggled more ferociously making it sink faster it was so angry that its eyes were red it took all the attacks because of its situation it cannot dodged even though it was also fighting back by shooting its own [Fireball] Shadowslash was destroying them with his [Dark Slash]

*Roar* it then used another sound attack but now Shadowslash was very careful and didge the follow up attack quickly

When 10 minutes was about to pass the Flaming Nimbus Lion suddenly escapes the [Quicksand] and pounced on Shadowslash

Seeing the [Quicksand] cannot trap the Flaming Nimbus Lion anymore Shadowslash immediately used [Clairvoyance]
