Chapter 360 Finding Her Location
The swamp is known for its calm environment, Not because of peace but due to predators laying Ambush. Even shadows hid deep within the swamp’s waters; how would anyone else dare reveal themselves? The first danger in swamps was the aquatic creatures, with sharp, dagger-like teeth that could tear apart even the toughest shin.
They were not the real danger; the real danger was in the sky. Multiple feathered creatures ruled the sky and the battles there were fiercer than in the water. One such flying predator, known as Draco Fly, saw a strange fish leaping in the air. It thought it was his lucky day, opened its beak, and swallowed it whole.
It was about to leave when it felt a terrifying presence. The strange part was that it could not even tell from where this presence was coming. This presence differed from the predators here; It didn’t contain an ounce of Dragonblood.
“Why? Why does it always happen to me?” A voice appeared there. A boy covered in a veil of Shadow could be seen standing on a giant sword. “Why can’t this world see me happy? Does it want me to stain my hands again?” The red-colored presence released by the boy increased, and soon a giant red eye appeared in the air.
The eye placed vertically was still closed, but a terrifying murderous presence was released once its curtains fell. The bodies of the Draco flies in the air shook; they were unable to move. Next, multiple Chakrams with sharp edges appeared. They danced through the air for a while, and soon it started raining.
The only difference was that this one had green water droplets instead of normal rain. It was bloody rain. A chain was released from Rishi and carried the corpse of the draconian Fly that swallowed his lucky charm. As he extended his index finger, a strange black liquid ran to his finger and turned into a nail knife.
He calmly dissected the stomach of the two-foot-long creature with four wings. It had multiple eyes on its head and a strange beak. He soon found his fish. It was shaking as if on the brink of death. “Fate has decided for you to perish, but did it ask for my permission?”
A giant red circle appeared above his palm, and Rishi put the fish on it. He then used his other hand to put the fish on it. The icy part of the fish that had half-melted disappeared completely. A large amount of Shadow Energy was released from Rishi and concentrated on the fish’s body.𝐍𝑜𝗏𝖊𝑙𝞰𝔢xt.𝒸𝒪𝑚
He used the ‘Shadow Enslavement’ technique and made it his summon. As soon as the bond was completed. The fish’s body started to shine; it absorbed all the Shadow energy and transformed. What appeared was a seven-inch-long fish entirely made up of Shadow Energy.
Rishi had upgraded it to his limit. He had also made changes to its structure. It now resembled a flying fish. He granted it the ability to utilize darts containing Shadow Poison, A one-meter cube of shadow space, and a body immune to most physical attacks. It looked adorable now, different from its terrifying previous form.
“This deserves a name; what should I name it?” He started thinking but couldn’t come up with a good name. “Let’s call it Nimo then; it is the only fish name I know.”
Nimo, where did you find that Ore?” He asked with his eyes filled with greed. He liked this fish, but that was not the only reason he lost his temper before. Only this fish knew the location of Draconite ore; this type of Ore was expensive on Earth. Only high-level Beast Tamers could afford weapons made of this Ore; this could make him a lot of money.
Nimo told him through their connection that they found it in an underwater cave, but it had many ferocious Water serpents that lived there. Rishi called back all the fish and asked them to follow him and Nimo. He reached the location of the underwater cave, used his Shadow sense, and discovered that strange creatures lived there.
He looked at their numbers and started thinking of a plan. They were stronger than the Shadow Frost Fish. He was thinking about what to do when he suddenly got this brilliant idea. He released the ‘Shadow Frost Poison’ again. It took half an hour for it to affect the creatures; they have higher poison resistance.
The poison affected their movement speed; they became slower, and Rishi decisively commanded his fish to attack. A swarm of Shadow Frost fish appeared. They started attacking the Water Serpents. The body of water serpents had scales that shielded them from most of the damage, but with time, the damage acted up, and they needed to leave the place.
If Rishi wanted, he could have eliminated them all by himself, but that would be unnecessary. He was already regretting eliminating those Draco flies. He saw many of them moving around, searching for the one who attacked them. Rishi was not scared of them but didn’t want to waste his time.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm He also needed to look for Kajal; for every second he wasted on these bugs, he lost an opportunity to gather more resources. He absorbed the Shadow Frost poison back into his body. His army of fish started to bring Ore to him; their sharp teeth were perfect for mining.
With his one-meter-cube Shadow Space, Nimo could bring Ore more than hundreds of fish alone. Rishi waited there for half an hour. This place only had this much draconite. He was about to move deeper when he sensed that the black Ring he was wearing on his right ring finger was shining purple.
His eyes lit up. He closed his eyes and tried to sense Kajal, finding she was in the Area close to him. He needed to move to his left to reach her. While it delayed his Resource Gathering, having her with him would be much better.
He released a large amount of Shadow energy, used his telekinetic power to its best, and started approaching her. Behind him, an army of dangerous Shadow Frost fish was following him.
Anyone who sensed that he was not trying to disturb them. The swamp had no straight path, and he would need to waste a lot of Energy and Mental Strength to move higher. The trees around him were forty-fifty meters long, so he decided to take his time to reach her.
