Chapter 129
Shadowslash couldn’t help even though he was one of the people in the group who has hands
Since the others insisted to him that he should sit down and have his subordinates do the trivial stuff
Since its like this he then proceeded to take the spices and other ingredients and three huge cauldron
After cleaning the cauldron he started chopping the ingredients what was funny though is that he was using his katana to cut the vegetables
After that he then sat down and wait since the following procedure were left to Shena
After having their breakfast they then proceeded to their travel
.....
And when it was lunchtime just like yesterday Lilia, Herish and Shadowslash would plant some plants and create a small pond in the center while the others went to hunt
Just as they were busy doing their own stuff a tremor was suddenly felt and a huge scorpion came out of the ground
*Screech* The scorpion let out a loud screech before charging towards Shadowslash and the two girls
*Bam* Suddenly a whip like thing came out of the carriage and hit the scorpion’s face
The scorpion let out a confused screech before looking at the carriage
Banjo came out and looks at the scorpion furiously
*Roar* he let out an angry roar before releasing a [Dragon Breath]
After being hit by the attack a cracked appeared at the scorpion pincer
Banjo then arrives in front of it and with a yank he manage to lift the scorpion high
*Boom* He then slams it to the ground repeatedly even though the scorpion tried to retaliate with his tail it just couldn’t pierce Banjo’s extremely tough scale
Shadowslash and the two girls were watching as Banjo repeatedly slams the scorpion
The girls have a strange look on their face because even though Banjo was considered large for a snake but the scorpion is the size of their carriage to repeatedly slams it like a toy they marveled at his strength
Unlike the girls Shadowslash knew how strong Banjo is he just pity the scorpion he was just about to let his clone deal with it but because of its loud screech it woke Banjo up angering him greatly
“Okay Lilia focus at the task at hand Herish have already done her part we’re only waiting for yours before having lunch” Seeing Lilia was still watching in daze Shadowslash taps her shoulder
“I’m sorry* When Lilia came out of her daze she realised that she still haven’t finished Shadowslash’s assignment for her
Since she already done the same thing yesterday she was much more proficient this time around
Actually she wanted to only use her ability without the help of the Mana Crystal since she already obtain the pendant from Shadowslash
After spending two hours of concentration she finally managed to fill the hole
Since Shadowslash was using his tail to dispel the heat she did not feel the heat from the blazing sun
Herish on the other hand have already returned back to the carriage
Shadowslash waited for a bit of time before everyone returns
The fox group hunted a brown crocodile
Terradile (Gold Lvl 1) (Very Rare)
The monster groups hunted a savage looking boar
Brutal Tusk Boar (Silver Lvl 3) (Rare)
And finally the human group hunted a rat like monster and there were 3 of them
Earth Rat (Bronze Lvl 1) (Good)
After Shena cook the food they have lunch and have the others received their well deserved rest
Sans also captured another monster to be the guardian of the plants this time it was a normal looking hippo but when Shadowslash scans it he found that it was actually a Superior Grade monster
The hippo only manage to survive because of the mud pool it found on this barren land
Since it is like this Shadowslash created a pond next to the seedlings and absorbs all the mud in the pool before transporting it to the new pond next to the seedlings
They then continue on their journey and with Triple C speed they were getting close to nearing the Archinviel Dukedom
The land is as wide as tokyo and is ruled by Duke Fredrick Es Archinviel
Shadowslash terriitory maybe twice or nearing thrice as large as that
—
Five Days went by Shadowslash and the rest of the crew finally arrives at the boundary of the territory
But to cross from Hundred Race Land to Archinviel Dukedom they needed to cross the howling ridge
“Reias you have been here before haven’t you?” Seeing her shivers in fear Shadowslash asks
“No I came from another way since there are three territory that was stationed near the Hundred Race Land”
“First was the Bermiourgous County a subordinate of Zemir Kingdom”
“Second was Cerious Viscounty also a subordinate of Zemir Kingdom”
Listening to her explanation Shadowslash asks “So which territory is nearer at my territory?”
“Of course it is the Archinviel Dukedom and unlike the other two it is a subordinate territory of Dragon Kingdom”
Shadowslash was stunned to hear that there was already a monster ruled kingdom existing in the Hundred Forest Continent
“You mean there is already a kingdom ruled by monster?” He then verify what he heard
Reias shakes her head and said “No, the Dragon Kingdom is not being ruled by dragons but humans who obtains a part of dragon bloodline”
Shadowslash then nodded indicating he understood “To get to Archinviel Dukedom we need to cross the Howling Ridge but what about the other two?”
“Right I nearly forget to tell Lord Shadowslash that I came here through the Cerious Viscounty to cross and arrive here I have to travel through boat since the line dividing Lord Shadowslash territory and the Cerious Viscounty is the sea”
“To cross from Bermiourgous County to Hundred Race Land a person needed to travel through a huge expanse of volcanic land in which is much more dangerous than the Howling Ridge”
Shadowslash let out a sigh thinking his understanding towards the surrounding territory around his was miniscule
“Okay then what makes you shiver in fear when you thought about crossing the Howling Ridge?” Shadowslash then remembers that Reias have definitely shivers in fear when they arrived in front of the Howling Ridge
“It is because the Howling Ridge was considered one of the forbidden land in the continent”
“Just like any forest the Howling Ridge was teeming with monsters what is different between the two is that the monsters in the Howling Ridge are all brutal and savage and because the Howling Ridge was deprived of light they are all ambush type monsters”
“The most common monsters are the Blind Wolves their strength are mostly on Bronze Rank while some manage to Rank up to Silver Rank”
“What scary about them is that there teeths and claws are all laced with poison and they always move in packs of hundred”
“There are also other poisonous and venomous monsters living in the Howling Ridge during the invasion of the demons and Chaos Beasts a number of them even died on this place” After explaining the Howling Ridge Reias started shivering in fear again
Unlike Reias Shadowslash thought that if he had the time he would bring Rose in the Howling Ridge and have her create a copy of the Bewitching Everdark Rose and plant it on the ridge then they could enslave numerous savage and poisonous monsters
Just as he was thinking about this heard Hentai warning him ‘Master I have found a unique monster living in the Howling Ridge and just like you it is a higher being than a monster but unlike you it is a Wild Beast’
Shadowslash was surprised there was actually a monster who have evolved into a higher tier other than in the continent he couldn’t help but wants to battle with the said being
‘Master I highly recommend not to provoke the Wild Beast since to evolve from a monster to a Wild Beast or Spirit Beast a Rank much higher than Crimson Gold Rank is required and that only gives 50% chance in evolving into a higher tier since surviving a Heavenly Punishment is extremely difficult’
Shadowslash was quite shocked by this he then asks ‘Then how could I manage to evolve to a higher tier?’
‘Other than the fact that your soul was already considered powerful you have me to assist you’
Shadowslash nodded and went to find the others and told them about this information so that they wouldn’t be hasty in challenging their own Heavenly Punishment
He also sent this information back to those that were staying in the cave
Shadowslash then have Triple C advance towards the Howling Ridge
Since only Sans and him could see through the darkness they both volunteer to become the guards
Shadowslash then sat on Crunch becoming the driver
Sans was in the back of the carriage guarding the carriage
Banjo have also woken up and was now standing on guard since he was a phyton dragon he could see with hid enhanced vision even if it was not as great as the two
