The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

‘Crunch’

The sound of steps appeared between the sounds of winds carrying a chill. A small, soft, white substance rained from the sky. From the mist, an outline of a figure descended, and from the narrow opening of his mouth, a cold white smoke emerged that transformed the soft snow into hard ice crystals.

The creature looked at its own hands and discovered his soft, warm hands had become hard and cold. It was as if he were an ice statue, not a human. He sighed; a cold etheric ice energy emerged from his mouth and covered the boulder. It was as if a frost dragon had used his breadth.𝑛𝚘𝗏𝑒𝓁𝔫𝐄xt.𝗰𝗈𝓂

The boulder transformed from a solid form to a crystal form. As the light fell on it, two eyes that were colder than the ice itself looked at it. On the crystal-clear eyes without a trace of impurity, a reflection of the boulder could be seen; on the giant boulder made of crystal, a reflection of a humanoid creature could be seen.

It was a tall creature, with each part of its body made of ice. The form was rigid and asymmetric as if carved by a beginner sculptor. The creature’s eyes widened as it looked at himself; He touched himself to confirm if the savage, inhuman, ferocious-looking monster was his own reflection.

His whole body was forged from ice; Instead of blood, ice energy surged from his veins. He trembled, watching his reflection waver in the ice crystal, but he soon calmed down. His eyes regained calm before a splitting pain surfaced in his head.

He covered his head; Darkness descended in front of his eyes. Multiple images started appearing one after another, changing rapidly as if someone was forwarding them. The images started to dim and disappear before they appeared again, this time moving at a consistent pace. This time sound also played with them.

The creature soon started looking at the film, which showed the life of a boy born with silver-colored hair and an enchanting purple iris. The monster shook as he looked at these images; he realized who he was, ‘I am Rishi Rawat.’

He then felt the head-splitting pain again as the image of what happened before his transformation descended; He saw the figure of a gray-haired boy sitting in a meditative position. A white-colored mist was released from his mouth every time he exhaled, and the area around him became cooler.

After some time, the room’s temperature plummeted as if the very essence of ice had taken residence in this cave. Every place inside the cave was soon covered in a layer of ice, and the boy continued to be partially aware of the changes around him. Crystalline tendrils of frost spiraled around his toe, gently carving his feet with an otherworldly touch.

A surge of icy energy coursed through his body, causing his muscles to tense and his skin to shimmer with a frosty presence; He shuddered as the white mist started covering his entire body, and the next moment he became lost in the mist.

Slowly, from the depths of his being, a transformation began. His once platinum-colored hair turned into a shade of frosty white, and soon it transformed into a frozen waterfall. Glacial blue runes etched themselves across his skin, pulsating with an otherworldly glow and releasing a chilling presence that could make anyone shudder.

His body contorted and reshaped itself; His bones cracked as they expanded and reassembled into a new form. His limbs elongated, transforming into crystalized ice; His enchanting purple eyes have now completely transformed into glacial blue. With each passing second, his body grew in size.

As the transformation neared its completion, the slight light trace of intelligence in his eyes dissipated. He roared like a monster, which caused chills in anyone who heard it. He stood up, hitting his head on the concrete, and instead of bending, he used his raw strength alone to tear through his obstacles.

He appeared from the seven-foot-tall cave entrance and looked at the world covered in a white blanket. He roared and started moving around; Multiple ice golems came in his path, but he tore them apart with his bare hands and kept moving. Without a destination or a path to follow, he kept moving toward the center of the ice realm, from where he could sense the presence of more ice energy.

The eyes of the once-confused creature opened; He slowly retracted his icy hands and stood up, a trace of intelligence returning to his eyes. The crystallized eyes released a glacial blue glow before a voice as cold as glaciers appeared: “So this is how I became like this.”

He breathed and closed his eyes again; He sensed his being and how he felt. “I succeeded, but will anyone tell me how to turn back into a human again?”

It was as if the frozen brain had also started to work; he soon got an answer “The others transform back when they lose all their ice energy.” A smile descended on his crystallized face. “But it has been hours since I transformed; why do I still have so much ice energy?”

After thinking for a while, the eyes of the monster standing in a human-like pose with his right hand on his jaw lit up. “Is it because of the regeneration speed of my core? I think the environment also plays a major role.”

He sighed in relief as he looked at himself. “So I will be like this, a fusion of a human and an ice Element. if I stay here.” He looked around him before saying, “It is a good place to test the limitations of this form.”

He started controlling his actions but found that he could; He slowly started getting used to this form, and soon he was moving like his regular self. He tried using his skills, and his eyes widened in surprise as he discovered he could control ice. It was cool, but this was nothing compared to what he could do with the shadow element.

He started experimenting with his skill and discovered that his control of the ice element was increasing rapidly. He first started by creating an ice pillar, but soon he was able to create a spear. It was nowhere near as realistic as one he made from shadow energy, but its power and hardness were off the charts.

He started playing with his new abilities like a kid playing with a newly received toy. He enjoyed his time before he started getting bored. He was thinking about what to do when he heard a roar; He looked in that direction with his lips curled up and his eyes shining glacial blue.
