BXBX NOVEL Chapter 316 The Robber That Only Robs Storage Pouch
A pointy hill could be seen a little above the mist; there was a dark cave there. Inside that camp, there was a single torch burning that provided light. A boy could be seen beside it, looking at a cage made of ice. There was a red leaf that was moving inside it, trying to escape.
Rishi had found out about this thing while he was surveying the mist. It was an artifact-type Magic Beast. Rishi had one of these around his neck. Rishi became interested in this beast because of its abilities. From what Rishi had seen, it could swallow Magical Trees and store them inside its body; this ability was very useful.
In the wilderness, many people found Mysterious trees and herbs, but they could not carry them with them and had to give up on them. The other thing in which Rishi was interested was its type. These beasts could be contracted without the need to use the contract provided by the book of contracts. These types of beasts could also be given to someone close to you who you want to protect.
This also reminded Rishi that in the future he could face people with different backgrounds; they could have such things for protection. Rishi also wanted it because, as a Beast Cultivator, he needed to have his own garden of herbs and Elixirs if he had such a Beast to help. He would be able to work on his plan faster if he had this Beast with him.
First, Rishi wanted to make this Beast calm down and use inspection on him by touching it. He was not sure for now about the limitations of his skills. This Beast was very cautious and timid; he sighed and put the cage to one side. It had been four days since he had arrived here. In these four days, a lot has happened.
His contract Beasts have grown stronger and gotten used to the environment; they have also mastered their combo spells. Rishi's next plan was to gather more points in the next two days. He was also curious about the strange waterpool he had discovered. He has now figured out what it was; it was called a mana pool. It was created in areas with excess mana concentration, which could help Rishi a lot.
This thing could push his speed of forming Mana hearts. If he was able to defeat the creature there, he would be able to get the mana pool for himself for one day. He had surveyed that area many times and found out that the Beasts compete for the spot there each day; the winner is then challenged the next day.
Usually one Beast is able to keep it for himself before his injuries add up and he needs to recover for some time in a secluded place. The main problem was that this Beast had a zone ability that was amplified by the pool. He needed a way to make it come out. Rishi was following its habits and found out that it leaves the pool to hunt every day.
He had to attack it at that time and hopefully be able to defeat it. He could not use any skills as he was marked by an advanced detection spell from the professor. He would be found out the second he used a skill; the only good thing was that he was able to summon his Shadow Beast secretly, and it did not warn them.
If he could contract this new artifact-type beast, then with the four beasts, he had a chance to take down an Elite Stage 5 wild beast. He sighed and started moving out. The ray of sunlight hit his face and refreshed him. He missed this sunlight when he was inside the mist.
He summoned his contract Beasts and went to farm some more points. This time he didn't need to search for more, as he had already gotten used to this place and knew exactly where to go to farm more points. It was similar to knowing the spawn spots of the monsters in games, and what he was doing was called spawn killing.
After farming some points, he went to harass some of the students, but he didn't eliminate or sabotage resources. He only snatched their Storage pouch and left. It was not his fault this time. The academy only gave him a storage pouch with a storage capacity of one foot; to get more, he needed to snatch it from others.
After recovering his resources and farming for points, he went back to his shelter. He didn't want to waste more time. The spells he was working on were now fully mastered. After resting for some more time, he was planning to hunt Epic Stage Beasts now; this would give him many points.
He needed to plan carefully for it. He knew the location of many epic-level Beasts. He now needed to choose one of them to hunt; the one he chose was a Beast that looked like a giant ape. This monster had a very strong physical attack, and his Zone was triangular-shaped. It started with the tip of the center edge of the triangle below the feet and ran parallel to the position of the monster.
This zone amplified the range of the monster's spells while also increasing its attack and defense to a high degree. Rishi's two beasts could fly, and he was thinking of harassing the monster from range with spells and slowly taking him down. After resting for some time, Rishi was in the territory of this monster, which lived in a rocky terrain.
He searched there, and his eyes fell on a three-meter-tall giant ape with brown rock-like skin and red hair. He was sleeping and scratching himself from time to time. Rishi asked his contract Beast to attack it with their combo spell; he was not giving the first attack advantage for fairness.
The clods around Vakar increased; next, they appeared above the monster, and then a Magic circle shrouded in a glacial blue appeared just below the cloud. Then giant spears started falling from the cloud. As the giant spears were about to move down, Hansi cast one more spell.
A second white-colored magic circle appeared, and every giant Ice spear that passed by it increased in size. Rishi knew what it was; this was the ice enhancement skill. He didn't know that high mastery of this spell could allow one to use it like that; he had just started exploring the basic use of this spell.
Vakar chirped, and the pears started falling to only one place. Two yellow eyes opened, and the beast looked around him but was not able to sense anything. His sleepy eyes were about to close again when he felt a chill. He looked up and saw multiple Spears coming at him.
He quickly used a defensive spell in a half-awakening state; the next moment, the Spears made up of Ice hit him and exploded one by one. The monster cried in agony as its body was wounded and started freezing. He struggled and tried to move, but the spears followed him as if he were a magnet and they were iron nails. He used his defensive skills and tried to defend.
The struggle continued for seven seconds before everything stopped. What was left was a wounded giant ape covered in ice crystals. The beast's eyes shone brightly, and he roared. The Ice around him broke as he grew in size. He now looked different; it was as if he were made of rock.
He roared at his opponents. Rishi was not scared, as he believed their attacks would not reach him, but the situations were often unpredictable. This beast picked up giant stones and started throwing them like cannon balls. Rishi's contract The beasts dodged it somehow before Vakar covered them in smoke again.
The Beast roared again when he was not able to locate his opponents. To make matters worse, some attacks hit him from time to time. The monster was slowly losing HP very fast; the Ice Burn was burning 0.5% of his HP every second. It suddenly stopped dodging and released a giant roar. Its body groaned again, and the earth in front of him started shaking.
It raised its hand and created a big barrier that surrounded him. It was trying to recover by raising this shield.
The poking attacks no longer worked; now they needed to hit with stronger spells. Vakar approached it; he controlled the clouds around him and created a giant hand, then used it to destroy the wals one by one.
The Beast found the opportunity and started to attack Vakar, but again another hand appeared and stopped him. The battle continued for some time, and both became low on Mana. Suddenly a chirp was heard, and soon strange creatures made up of Ice appeared and bound the beast.
Next, Vakar retreated before turning the cloud into a massive Sword that attacked the beast. After he retreated, the wounded Beast gritted his teeth and was about to break the chains when he saw massive balls of fire approaching him. Explosions appeared one by one. The place only became silent after five consecutive hits.
The most unbelievable part was that a giant covered in Ice and burning was still moving. Rishi sighed, "It's not easy to kill an Epic Stage monster after all."
The battle continued, and after some time, the Beast lost his life with a massive cry. It was as if he were announcing his departure from the world. Rishi collected his core and left; the other things were not suitable to even exchange outside.
