Chapter 198 Helping Vinay To Evolve His Beast
The guild members of All-Stars were waiting; their eyes were fixed on the front, where two of their members were doing something. Two contract beasts were with them inside a magic circle; one was a humanoid creature with a body covered in silver armor, while the other was an undead horse-type magic beast covered in a strange blackish armor that looked a little bigger than its size.
A blackish-silver-haired boy was arranging the materials in front of him. In front of him was the corpse of a monster with a body that looked like a centaur; the corpse was cut into two pieces. The first part looked humanoid while the other part was of the horse.
He stood up, took out a small black orb releasing blackish smoke constantly, and fed it to the humanoid Knight. He then took some more materials and fed them to the undead horse.
This boring process continued for a long time before the boy with the skull mask asked his second contract to lie down next to the corpse of the boss monster. He used some spells and fused the corpse with the upper half of the monster before he called out his first contract beast and did the same with him; he fused the lower half of the monster with him.
The bodies of both the contract beasts started releasing a black smoke; the sound of their bones cracking and their bodies twisting could be heard. Their bodies were expanding little by little while shaking, and they cried in agony as if thousands of swords were cutting them.
This horrifying scene continued for a while before Vinay cut his palm and made them both drink his blood. He then chanted some weird mantra before releasing light green energy from him and transferring it to their bodies. This increased the pain even more. The others looking at the scene might think he was very heartless to his contract beast, but only Vinay knew how he was hiding his tears behind his mask.
Everyone had their fingers crossed and their breaths held as they looked at the two contracted beasts that had stopped moving. Even Rishi looked at the process carefully when he looked at the process; he was also worried if the evolution would be successful or not.
The process continued for some more time before the magic circle created from the blood around the contract beasts shone bluish before a flame came out of nowhere and started burning above the magic circle.
This continued for a while before a big explosion occurred, and a very bright light was released that forced everyone to cover their eyes.
When they opened their eyes, they saw a shadow of a knight riding a horse. They heard a loud neigh before the horse raised his legs and stomped on the ground. The impact shook the whole room. Then the monster started approaching them; all they could see were two giant purple flames.
When it came close, its face became visible to all. It was covered in black armor with purple-colored magic runes and carvings on it. On top of its eyes were two blackish-purple flames burning, and on its forehead was a horn attached to the armor.
It also had patterns and carvings, and its tip was made of purple crystal.
On top of its head were two demonic horns that looked natural; these black-colored horns came out of the holes in the armor. Its neck also had leather armor parts, from which a mane made up of a purplish flame became visible; the armor in the front had a "V"-shaped end.
It went from there and covered the beast\'s legs; its hooves also had the same colored flame that made them look cool. The whole armor was filled with carvings, patterns, and Magic Runes, along with some purple crystals.
When the eyes of everyone shifted from the excellent steed, they saw a knight sitting on top of it. He too was entirely covered in black and purple armor. A helmet covered his face; only two blackish-purple flames were visible on his face. On top of the helmet were two demonic horns.
Rishi\'s eyes shifted from its head, and he noticed a black and purple colored cool-looking armor. It had shoulder pads with thorn designs and some holes. A purple flame emerged from those holes, making it look even more intimidating.
On the chest was a large eye-like pattern with a strange purple crystal at the center. It looked like a natural eye; there was a circle surrounding it with many triangular blade-type patterns. They shone in a purple glow and connected to the other part of the armor with purple-colored vessel-like patterns.
There was also a purple-colored cape made up of fire gliding constantly, looking very beautiful. When he looked at it, a thought came to Rishi\'s mind, Not only heroes wear capes; sometimes villains do too.
From there, his eyes shifted to the weapons he was carrying. On his right hand was a long sword with a sharp blade attached to its pommel. Its crossguards were made like horns attached to a skull-like shape with the same colored flame burning inside them as inside the Knight\'s eyes.
The blade had strange carvings, Magic Runes, and patterns, making it look even more powerful and rare. On the other hand, the monster had a strange shield that was shaped like a tilting shield. It had two eyes on it that had a purple fire inside them, while it had a mouth below that was stitched. This shield also had two horns at the top.
The monster came near Vinay, who was standing like a statue. He looked at the creature in front of him with moist eyes. He had become very cold since he became a necromancer, but today was one of the few instances where he became emotional.
The mount licked Vinay\'s face with its tongue made of fire and neighed. Vinay snapped out of confusion and patted its head. The Knight climbed down and nailed his sword before Vinay, which created cracks. He sat with his knees bent and his head down.
When others looked at it, they were taken away by the loyalty of the Knight. Rishi looked at it again. He also saw the undead horse neighing happily and swinging his tail made of fire.
Rishi used his \'inspect\' skill to check the information about the magic beast before him. His eyes shone in a golden glow as he looked at the magic beast in front of him, but before he could look out the window, he saw the Knight glaring at him with killing intent in his eyes.
Even though Rishi looked back into his eyes, A strange red presence appeared around him that started pressing the Knight and made him unable to lift his head. He stopped there because he didn\'t want to harm the thing he had created; Vinay interfered and stopped the Death Knight.
Rishi sighed and looked at the status window before him.
