Chapter 48：CHAPTER 44 A ICY PROBLEM

Because of the increase in family members the whole cave became much more livelier the only thing missing to truly make the cave like a paradise is to increase the number of plants inside the cave

He also had the members of IMA to build a huge pond inside the cave he decided to fill it with aquatic monsters and have Clwyd move into the cave

The whole operation of building the pond and having the new monsters adapt in the inner part of the forest took a whole week to finally settle

The organization was now getting more powerful because of the new influx of members and the old members of IMA that have already advanced to Silver Rank long ago before the humans came have also rejoined the organization

In the topic of humans the army in the outer part of Jade Forest have already cleared all the trees surrounding the campsite and even though the construction of their base was still ongoing they already finished creating some of the buildings

Actually Shadowslash and the others have tried countless tries to disrupt the construction but they did not even manage to come close before countless arrows rain down on them

The SYSTEM have now accumulate an outstanding amount of Mana and Energy from taking 30% of his and the other summoned monster absorbed now it has enough energy to create the portal but it was the lowest level of portal but it was still worth it and today was the day the SYSTEM will create the portal

"So System this will be the place you will be creating the portal" Shadowslash was pointing in a wide space inside the cave and ordered the SYSTEM to lay down the portal

(Understood)

After replying the SYSTEM started to summon a ball of immense energy and Mana in the air before exploding it and create a mark all of the place

After seeing this Shadowslash asks in a somewhat uncertain manner "Is it already done?"

(Yes, The System is now creating a mark in the Host and his summoned monster spiritual space after finish creating the mark Host and his summoned monster have now the ability to teleport back into the cave)

(This ability will be a bonus ability that been granted by an item so monsters or intelligent humanoid species don't need to use the slot of their abilities)

Hearing this Shadowslash was very happy he could at least save some of his slot and yet gained an additional active ability

He then asks the SYSTEM if non summoned monster can gain this ability

(Non summoned monster cannot gain this ability even monsters who have been contracted by the Host using blood contract)

Hearing this Shadowslash was disappointed he wanted for all of his family to gain this fantastic ability

(Host please don't fret because even though the others do not have this ability but Host and his summoned monster can use the ability to transport a person or a thing)

(If its an inanimate object then the ability can directly teleport it but if its a living or intelligent life form Host and his summoned monster could only teleport them if they have their acceptance or if they are unconscious)

Shadowslash was at least satisfied with this now every hunt or exploration he would pair a member of his family with this ability with other members

He then proceeded to ask 'So what requirement is it to use this ability?'

(Mana but it does not have any specific amount, the amount of Mana to be used correspond of how many things or person would the user bring back with him and also the distance of the user to the teleportation portal)

Hearing that this ability has many restriction and it involves the amount of Mana he then started to think of how to increase the Mana of all of them

'System how can I increase the amount of Mana that a monster have?'

(It is to evolve, to level up and to find an object that has the ability to increase Mana)

Hearing this he was depressed none of those things are easy to do or find but at least he now have lead to what to do

After that he decided to explore the forest once again even though they have countless food reserve (The carcasses of the Hellsfire Bats) he still have the others hunt some monster but they need to do it in a team

He also pair the other member of the family with the family members with the ability to teleport

In the core part of the forest Shadowslash was exploring

He was searching for any thing wether its a monster with a great potential that he can use his remaining slot of summoning or plants that has any use to the members of organization or things that can increase Mana

While he was searching in the forest he came inside a cave he felt coldness in it

He then went inside and found that it was actually an ice cave and inside of it was a sleeping Frost Wyvern

Frost Wyvern (Crimson Gold Lvl 7) (Pseudo Legendary) (Ice, Strength and Wind Type)

He was scared even his instinct telling him to flee but he still stayed because he found a rare plant that could strengthen Clwyd

(Frozen Crystal Tree : A tree that absorb ice energy and accumulate it to strengthen itself, the chilling energy that it excludes can strengthen any Ice Attribute being

Reminder : The tree would bear a fruit if it accumulate enough ice energy

Crystal Fruit : Can increase the purity of the ice energy that a being accumulated

Effect 2 : Increase the strength of a humanoid being ice attribute skill or an overall increase on a monster ability

Effect 3 : An Ice Type monster that ate the crystal fruit have a 48% chance of undergoing an evolution

Quality : Cannot be scanned too high)

After seeing the effect of the Frozen Crystal Tree Shadowslash was reluctant to just leave it here

After all Clwyd can increase its level by absorbing ice or water element and he did not lack in water element but ice element if he transplanted the tree back to the cave the rate of Clwyd level upping would increase

Shadowslash then blends into the shadows he even seal all of his energy just to be extra careful

Sealing the energy is a risky move because it will slow down the user if he made use a skill and in the monster world if your slow in using your skill you die

It took a couple of minutes just to get to the tree even though it was close for his standard but because the Frozen Wyvern is sleeping in front of the tree he took his time and was extra careful

Once he arrived near the tree he started digging it he could not teleport a plant if it was still rooted on the ground

After uprooting the tree he immediately teleported it back to the cave

Feeling the Frozen Crystal Tree was gone the Frozen Wyvern was awoken it then let out a loud and powerful roar it then look towards where the tree should have been and found that it was gone

It became enraged and did not see any intruder so it started releasing attack everywhere

Shadowslash was gulping nervously in the shadows if he did not have the ability to hide into the shadows he would definitely die

Suddenly while the Frozen Wyvern was going berserk it let out a freezing breath towards the surrounding location where Shadowslash is

'Sh*t!' seeing the incoming attack Shadowslash immediately unseal his energy before using [Flaming Double Dark Slash]

*Boom* when the attacks met it created an explosion and countless chunks of ice were thrown everywhere

The Frozen Wyvern blanked out it did not expect to coincidently hit Shadowslash

Shadowslash then quickly use the Bonus Ability that the SYSTEM gave him to teleport back to the cave

*Pom* Shadowslash disappeared seeing this the Frozen Wyvern was startled it was still dazed from earlier and seeing the thief got away it was extremely furious it then continue to trash about destroying everything in the cave and the cave in the process

While the Frozen Wyvern was going berserk Shadowslash was in the cave breathing haggardly his heart was still beating fast out of extreme nervousness

He then look at his paws and saw it was still trembling the collision from earlier really hurts his arm he now realized that the Gold Rank and Crimson Gold Rank is really far apart it was like the fight between the Hellsfire Bat King without Russel they would definitely lose

He was at least happy that he transported the Frozen Crystal Tree back to the cave

After calming down he had Leafinia Transplant the Frozen Crystal Tree to an area where it was still clear of any plant he then had the monsters build another pond there
