Chapter 264 Returning Back



"In the past week, I have already learned how to transform back into human form from ice form; My mastery of the ice element has also increased. "It's time for me to go back," said the boy as he excitedly left the Ice Realm. In the past week, he has increased the mastery of his ice skills to a new level. He learned some Ice Element skills in his Ice Man form; his Ice Enhancement skill had leveled up. He could now cover half his body in a layer of ice, which was very important.

He could now easily cover all his weaknesses, like the heart, brain, and lungs, at the same time.

He sat on the back of his four-foot-long contract beast after consuming multiple high-level Ice golems. It had become even stronger; It was all due to its passive skill, which let it become stronger by absorbing materials with ice or fire element energy.

It has learned a new skill known as 'blizzard.' It could now create a big storm of ice to attack multiple opponents. Rishi noticed that his height had increased again due to mastering the ice body cultivation art to the completion stage. He started thinking about what to do next; He thought about it for some time.

"I have a lot of things to do; This Tiwari Clan is getting on my nerves, but this is not the wrong time to attack them. They will easily figure out I was behind it, and I will now need to fast-forward the Assasin Guild Plan. I think I should now ask Yakshini how to make a deal with the Shadow Demon King. Once I am done, the leader of my future force will be able to become stronger."

"The annual exam is also coming close; I need to level up fast. I can also train my contract beasts in dungeons; is this all, or am I forgetting something?" He thought for a while before he remembered.

"Dare Dragons. Sameer Tyagi, I forgot to teach a lesson to him. It's not too late; there is a yearly guild championship one week before the annual exam, in which every guild will participate. I will crush his guild in it; My guild is still not strong enough to win it."

"If I critically injure the mage and archer of his guild, then the Black Cats will be the winners. I don't like Sakshi that much, but at the end of the day, she is also from my clan, so rather than letting Tiwari Clan win, I think helping her will be for the best."

It took him two days to reach Mazar; He submitted the 100 Beast Cores. The members of the Tiwari Clan soon realized that Rishab had returned alive, which caused an uproar among them. They decided to go into hiding and destroy all their tracks; their reputation would take a big hit if the public learned about this incident.

Rishi's day became peaceful again; He announced to the public that he was now officially a Three-Star Beast Cultivator. This caused an uproar, and the news spread like fire. Rishi and Kajal were deemed the two superstars of the Mazar Academy; even the other academies and schools started to pay attention to them.

An article was published in the local newspaper with the title 'The Rise of Mazar Academy.' In this article, a list was released. It was a list of the top five most famous newcomers; the name Kajal was at the top, while the name Rishab was in second place.

This made him a celebrity in the city in one night, and people started to investigate his background but could not find anything. This made everyone curious about his real identity; they contacted multiple information agencies, and from that day on, Rishi could see multiple shadows following him.

He was not concerned about them until they didn't cross lines. He started raiding multiple dungeons. He trained his contract beasts there; he taught them how to create a combo. His level started increasing rapidly; he could jump one level every three to four days.

Everything was going well when he suddenly got a call. He received it, and a smile appeared on his face. He talked for a minute before jumping from his bed and preparing. He dressed up in a hurry and left.

He had gotten a call from Yakshini asking him to meet her; He went to the academy and searched for room number 1226. He found the room in the corner and entered it; he felt a similar otherworldly presence. Even with awakening the ice element and having ice resistance, he was feeling cold.

He could see a boy sitting on a chair in the corner with his legs above the desk in front of him. He was still wearing the 'Skull Mask.' He turned his head at Rishi and looked at him from top to bottom as if analyzing him. A red light shone in his abyss-like eyes.

"As expected of you, in this little time, you have completely changed," said Vinay in a cold feminine voice.

Rishi turned a chair before taking his seat and looking at Vinay. "I need to work hard; everyone is not lucky to have a sugar momma like you."

A cold expression appeared on Vinay's face before his lips curled up and soon he started laughing, "Ha ha ha ha."

Vinay looked at Rishi and approached him before saying, "I can become your sugar momma too if you want," and winking at him. Instead of feeling warmth, all Rishi felt was a chill all over his body.

He controlled himself using his will to suppress the pressure before replying, "I am good on my own."

After some more light talks, Rishi got to the point: "How can I make a deal with the Shadow Demon King?"

Vinay didn't said anything for a while before replying, "You need to go to a place with the presence of the shadow element; there you need to complete a ritual."

Rishi heard the whole ritual before declining, "I can do all other things, but I can't provide the sacrifice. You believe, I will agree to sacrifice an innocent person?"

Vinay looked at Rishi and said, "Forget about making a contract with the Shadow Demon King then."

Rishi closed his eyes and thought about it before asking, "There might be another way."

Vinay looked at him and laughed, "I was kidding, I never said the sacrifice should be of a human. You can offer the sacrifice of a high-level monster with the Shadow Element."

Rishi looked at his face with an annoyed look and asked, "How should I convince the Shadow Demon King? The first thing he will do is will be harming me."

Vinay took out a ring, which looked similar to an old artifact. It had a small red gem on it, and he replied, "Take it with you; he will not attack you after you explain to him that you know the owner of this ring."

Rishi took the ring and discussed some more things before leaving. His heart was beating fast, thinking about meeting the Shadow Demon King. He had not met any demons till now; who would have thought he would meet a demon king first?

He was leaving the academy when a car stopped in front of him; The window opened, and he saw Prof. Anya waving at him: "Rishab, come inside."

Rishi was confused, but he entered the car. It was a luxurious car that moved at a very high speed; He asked Prof. Anya, "Mam, why did you call me?"

Prof. Anya smiled, fixing her glass, and replied, "It's a surprise; you will know soon."

The car moved for some time before stopping. Rishi exited the car with Prof. Anya; He was in front of a giant structure, and there was a big gate to enter it. Many soldiers were guarding it. Each one of them was well equipped.

The people that were entering and leaving the gate all looked powerful, and Rich followed Professor Anya and appeared in front of a square structure shining in a purple glow, Prof. Anya showed the guards two tickets, which they checked before allowing them to enter.

He followed Prof. Anya and entered the square gate; He felt similar to what he had felt while entering dungeons; this was a space portal. He could see himself moving at a very fast pace; the surroundings looked like a tuner shone in a purple glow. He released his shadow energy and used 'Shadow Sense' to sense something. He suddenly saw different small parts shining in a purple glow.

They combined to form a huge network. He wanted to sense some more, but he suddenly faced a backlash. He coughed some blood, and Prof. Anya looked at him with a worried expression and said, "Don't worry; we will soon reach our destination."

She wanted to help him, but they were in the middle of space teleportation, and she could not move her body. After two more seconds, they both appeared out of another space gate; Prof. Anya checked Rishi's condition and was confused; she had never heard of something like this happening during using portals.
