Chapter 206 Trance State
A silver-haired boy touched the floor of the incubation chamber; inside was a giant black-colored magic beast. He looked at the beast with multiple devices attached to it, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. This evolution was complicated, even though the cost was way above anything else. He was lucky that most of the resources required were related to swords that he could get with his clan's help.
For this evolution, he first fed it magic herbs that increased intelligence, but he soon realized the effect was very shallow; he decided to increase it by feeding it an 'Elixir of Intelligence,' which increased the consciousness of any magic beast while also increasing its intelligence. These were mainly used by the masters of magic beasts who performed the mage role. He needed to take funds from the guild and a loan from Vinay to pay for it.
He had first bought five cores of the elite-grade swordsman and fed them to Sheru one by one. They all contained sword energy, which Sheru slowly absorbed the following month. He was able to get the cores from the clan with the help of his uncle, but they were not easy to get his hands on.
He didn't stop there; he had learned by now from his experience of evolving many magic beasts that there was no need to blindly follow the steps mentioned by his ability as a beast cultivator. He could make changes to create a better evolution route, but he risked a lot by expending such a large amount of resources. There was no looking back now. He requested his uncle and even promised that he would return this favor if he could get his hands on the 'Rune of Swordsmanship.' This was something that high-level sword masters created; they used their knowledge to create these runes. If a low-level swordsman focused on it, he could improve at a very rapid pace in the art of swordsmanship.
He was surprised when he looked at it; this thing looked like a pattern made on a rock tile. This looked very ordinary at first; he even asked himself if he had been fooled, but once he looked carefully, he realized that many thoughts and insights about the swords appeared in his mind.
He activated his 'Extreme Focus' and absorbed the knowledge about swordsmanship. It took him five hours to completely absorb all the knowledge, but the magic happened later when he practiced his swordsmanship. He improved at a pace incomparable to before. He was able to refine his swordsmanship using insight and improved whenever he fought; it came naturally to him whenever he got stuck.
He was able to gain all the knowledge from it but could not comprehend it; he needed to practice and fight to improve. He hid his improvement in swordsmanship even from his teacher. He was now very close to mastering the fourth form of the Triangle Slash Sword Technique, and he believed that he would be able to learn it after he came out of his seclusion.
He asked Sheru to comprehend swordsmanship from it; at first, he could not understand anything, but as his intellect and sword energy increased, he started to practice using a sword. At first, Sheru didn't know what to do, so he decided to practice with a real sword.
He held the handle by his mouth and started swinging the sword. When the maid saw it, she tried to stop him, but he growled at her before continuing his practice. His whole body was filled with cuts and injuries from copying the sword moments like humans. Rishi had taught it the basics while showing it many videos and movies of the Magic Beast using swords.
This burned the fire in Sheru's eyes; he wanted to grow stronger from the beginning, but as time passed, he was disappointed that he was not of any use to his master. He was decently used as a mount and shield, but his strength had lagged far behind that of his master. Only he knew how lonely he felt. He trained as much as he could, but no matter how much he improved, catching up to Rishi looked like a dream.
Now that he heard from his master that he could evolve into a strong beast if he learned how to use a sword, he was very excited; but when he started training, he realized that it was difficult for a beast to use a sword. It was also tough to understand swordsmanship. He tried all day, and he looked at the face of his master at the end of the day.
Even when he was so useless, he didn't give up on himself like others; he gathered high-level resources and fed them to him to assist him. He was very grateful to his master, and now that his intelligence had increased, he could understand how rare the resources his master was feeding him were. He could tell by the maid's gaze that even she was jealous of the materials he devoured.
Instead of disappointment, he stilled his will and became even more motivated to grow stronger. He had already learned to wield a sword, but today when he tried to follow the movements of the humans to use a sword skill, he fell sometimes when he twisted his body; the sword he used hit his body and injured him, but he didn't stop and kept training.
He didn't even listen to the maid; it was like he was possessed by something. He kept swinging his sword and following the movement of the human. Even the dreams he saw were about how he succeeded in using his sword and getting praised by his master.
Rishi still remembered that day when he came out of his 'Gaming Chamber' and saw Sheru covered in blood swinging his sword mindlessly. He was already weakened by the blood loss and tired, but he didn't stop. There was a pool of red fluid around him, and Rishi also smelled a smell that woke him up.
He looked at him again and sprinted towards him. He held him and tried to stop him, but he realized that Sheru was out of control. His maid was standing a little behind him, clenching her fists, in a dilemma about whether to interfere or not. It wasn't because she didn't care about it or was following the order; it was because of the golden glow in the eyes of the Magic Beast in front of it.
He was in a state where he did not notice what was happening around him. At first, she was not able to believe it, but she had to accept it when she looked at the state of the Magic Beast for some more time. This beast was in a state of trance. It was a state where one forgot about everything else and focused on the thing he was doing.
