Chapter 18：CHAPTER 17 KARL

After activating [Clairvoyance] Shadowslash also dash towards the Flaming Nimbus Lion to face it off head on

Each and ever attack of the Flaming Nimbus Lion was predicted accurately and with the support of JM, Foxxy and Flare the situation of the Flaming Nimbus Lion became a lot worse

Shadowslash was doing his best to dodge the attacks because he knows one attack will definitely defeat him

*Roar* the Flaming Nimbus Lion suddenly let out a pained roar its right eye was blinded by Shadowslash [Dark Slash]

"Everyone aim for its legs and definitely its hind legs JM ready your [Quicksand] ability after injuring the legs activate it"

When the Flaming Nimbus Lion was about to use its strongest move the [Lion's Roar] Shadowslash suddenly released a [Fireball] on its mouth causing the techniques to explode its mouth

"Change of plans JM now" JM was already prepared hearing the go signal he activated it trapping the Flaming Nimbus Lion again

After being trap again the Flaming Nimbus Lion suddenly lets out a powerful roar its body greatly increased in size and it is now blazing it only used one smack destroying the quicksand and creating a crater

It then looks at Shadowslash with extreme hatred and pounced on him

Shadowslash then dodged and used [Dark Slash] but his claws can't cut through the Flaming Nimbus Lion muscles became extremely tough

"JM please ready another quicksand after the berserk mode Foxxy and Flame just stay put"

He then engaged in one on one fight with the Flaming Nimbus Lion their fight continuous for nearly an hour the Flaming Nimbus Lion did not land a hit to Shadowslash

Shadowslash situation was different his attack all landed to the Flaming Nimbus Lion body but did not even left a scratch

"Now JM!!!" Shadowslash suddenly flees the Flaming Nimbus Lion tried to chase after him but once again fall into JM's quicksand it raise its paw to destroy the quicksand lime before when suddenly its body started to shrink until it returned to its original bidy size it lets out its tongue while panting haggardly

Shadowslash was also the same as the Flaming Nimbus Lion the both of them used all they got and was now out of energy

Foxxy, Flare and JM started to rain down their attacks to the Flaming Nimbus Lion and with no energy left it was continuously sinking

An hour later the Flaming Nimbus Lion was really beaten up but was still alive it had a tenacious vitality and an unyielding will

Seeing the Flaming Nimbus Lion still kept holding its own even if it is full of bruises and energy it still haven't give up

"Everybody stop!!!" hearing his command the three stops bombarding the Flaming Nimbus Lion and looks at him confusingly

Shadowslash didn't speak but crawl towards to the Flaming Nimbus Lion he looks at it in the eye and asks "Why do you still kept holding on knowing that it is futile"

The Flaming Nimbus Lion eyes suddenly dimmed down it looks at Shadowslash and there seems an unspoken sadness within them

Shadowslash saw the pained and sad look of the Flaming Nimbus Lion and knows that it really had gone through some bitter experience

"Then what about being my underling?" hearing his proposal the Flaming Nimbus Lion was about to deny immediately when it remembered its situation and seriously started to consider the idea

'SYSTEM if the Flaming Nimbus Lion accepts my proposal is there any method that can secure its loyalty and the safety of my family'

(Take some of the blood on its heart and just leave the procedure to the System)

He nodded and told the Flaming Nimbus Lion that the condition in joining is a drop of blood from its heart

The Flaming Nimbus Lion was still considering his offer and seeing that it was really in a grave situation it finally agrees to Shadowslash and gave a drop of blood that came from its heart to him

(Binded Flaming Nimbus Lion)

Shadowslash then messaged France through the SYSTEM to pick them all up with the size of the Flaming Nimbus Lion which is about the size of a bull moving it with just them is impossible

Half an hour later Shadowslash and Karl was still resting because of their fight earlier they still need to rest (Karl is the name that Shadowslash pick for the Flaming Nimbus Lion)

Sounds of flapping were heard and France came to their view but what was very funny was Karl tense up when it felt France aura but seeing that it seems a subordinate of Shadowslash it was bewildered why would a very strong monster become an underling of a weaker one he shook his head erasing such question it will only gave him headaches

Then the four of them rode France while Karl was being carried by France's talon and beside him was the Bloody Fruit Tree

They all arrive at the cave Shadowslash was very happy to their gain even though they did not kill Karl with the battle earlier they have all level up dragon meat was very awesome his [Dark Slash] even upgraded into {Blue Quality} and turns into [Double Dark Slash] and his [Fireball] have also upgraded and have its quality raised he then used his SP to level up the [Double Dark Slash] into level 5 and [Fireball] into level 3

He then assembled everyone and introduced Karl to them after a couple of pleasantries they return to their training while Karl goes to Leafinia to heal his injuries and his eye

What made Shadowslash very happy is that France hunted 2 Water Types and 1 Ice Type Gold Rank monsters and gave it to Clwyd now it reached Bronze Rank

With this it can guard the cave entrance much more efficiently

Night came after having dinner all of them started to sleep what surprised everyone was Karl he ate the thrice the amount of dragon meat as others its red skin started to glow he walks like drunk person and finally slept actually he wanted to sleep underneath the Luminous Tree of Life but after being taught a lesson by France it didn't have the same idea before

The next morning Shadowslash had everybody gathered except France because last night he entered the evolution process

"Okay today we are going into teams to explore and hunt into the forest Flare and mother will be with me our mission is to Rank up"

"JM, Dorothy, Foxxy and Flora will be going on a hunting spree I will have France observe you for protection and evaluation"

They then started their expedition Shadowslash then brought Mary and Flare deeper into the forest

He will be responsible for tanking the monsters while his mother and Flare will be in charged of support

After searching for an hour they haven't found a suitable prey they saw many monster but none was suitable for his mother or Flare to use to evolve

When they were searching in an area they found a cave and the heat emitting from the cave seems very beneficial for him and the others so they entered but suddenly flees because inside they saw a huge fire dragon sleeping

They continued searching until finally they found a suitable prey

Fire Breathing Savage Wolf (Silver Lvl 7) (Rare) (Fire Type)

He then used [Shadow Clone] and attacked together even though he knows that his clone cannot help that much it serves as meat shield

The Fire Breathing Savage Wolf saw Shadowslash as a free meal and was delighted to see its meal deliver itself

Shadowslash then saw that the Fire Breathing Savage Wolf pounce on him so he quickly dodged and use [Double Dark Slash] to attack its hind leg

The Fire Breathing Savage Wolf then let out a yelp it was too careless and let Shadowslash injured his left leg now it was limping
