"It doesn't have much DEF in front of me," Ryū directly slammed the hammer and after seeing there was a little dent in the shell, he left the hammer and saw Xiāo Chuō
*crack*
Once he heard that small sound of a crack opening, he took back his hammer since he could only use one crystal as he is now.
He switched to a bow and arrow, directly going out of the rhino's range and shot an arrow charged with spirit power.
Even though he's treated as an Agility-type, he's a Hybrid Power-type that can deal huge damage in any range.
From here on out, he could also act as a controller.
Being a Controller-type is a system where one process additional information and use that to hand out orders that provide the maximum damage damage while diminishing the demerits involved.
"Chuō, knock it up!"
"Got it!"
Xiāo Chuō dashed in front of the rhino and swung his staff below its chin, and although it made contact, the beast was heavier than he expected and only made it rise but not a total knock up.
"Sorry!"
"Triple Shot!" Ryū immediately followed up with three arrows aiming straight to its neck and its front legs.
*Puchi*
When he saw his arrows pierced through the bone armor, he pulled the wire connecting the arrows to his gloves and removed the arrows from the wound.
*Splurt*
"Good," Chuō grinned, finally seeing someone with great synergy with his own and continued his assault.
Of course, Ryū had to follow closely since he could secure his hits better and it's his role to deal great damage in favorable situations.
He changed to great sword, shield, axe, bow, staff, namely any weapon that could help him in securing a great deal of damage in as few encounters as possible.
This gone on for ten minutes before the beast dropped down hopeless on the ground, eyes squinted in anger as he stared at the source of his troubles.
Ryū simply held the rhino's head and search for its soul, and when he made contact with it, he was shocked.
"Not only do you want to kill my body, you also want to destroy my soul?"
A human stood before him, behind it is a dark yellow spirit ring and a beast guarding it.
"Please," Ryū snorts, "A soul can never be so easily destroyed, not unless it has little to no resistance to soul attacks."
The beast in human form sighed and created a chair to sit on, "Speak. What are you here for human? It isn't that you simply want to visit someone else's soul space. Even though I am a child in the eyes of thousand year beasts and above, I was taught to see through the hearts of you humans."
Ryū analyzed the soul space and also made a chair out of nowhere to sit on, much to the surprise of the beast.
"As you have said, I am simply here to take a visit to someone's soul space. But more of analyzing the soul than anything else," he smiled in the soul space but in reality, the one who will absorb the spirit ring took a dagger to kill the beast.
"Then you can fuck off now that you're done. I gave you hospitality, don't repay me with shit even you wouldn't like."
Ryū laughed at its language, "I didn't know you could speak curses like breathing. May you find peace in the next life."
"I won't thank you since you're the one who made me like this," the beast growled before he turned emotionless like a puppet the same time the spirit scholar killed the beast.
As for Ryū who is still in the soul space, he sighed seeing that one of his thoughts, or guesses, were correct.
He wasn't ejected from the soul space, but what he's looking at is a beast with a ring while the human soul was "ejected" than "moving" to the place where the soul is then recycled.
As a reincarnated and one who have known of the existence of the God Realm, he knew that the current God Realm is not one with the Shrek Seven Devils, but rather the ones who are the Gods prior to their ascensions.
That meant there are still some flaws in the cycle of reincarnation that the present God of Death and God of Life are creating to preserve the world.
These are just guesses and he didn't know whether he is right or wrong, but he would hold unto that theory until he is corrected with facts.
For now though, he absorbed the whole beast soul leaving only the spirit ring it nurtures for the spirit scholar out in the physical realm as he used it to strengthen his own essence.
As the process finishes, its whole memory flashed into his mind which he had processed in the subconscious so he could act like the Bone Armored Rhino on deeper instinct alone.
He calls it, Thousand Beast Art, where he can develop a beast-like fighting style that change and adapt according to the situation.
Also, the Bone Armor became a spirit skill he could use without consuming a slot to his essence which made it a cheat to be honest.
"Done? Isn't that too fast?"
Someone asked in reality as he went back and saw the scholar integrate the spirit ring into her essence in less than seven minutes.
'That would be my fault. The beast soul trying to defend the spirit ring from being integrated is likely the reason for the long wait.
I'll develop strong soul attacks and defense as well as soul cultivation since that could be my bread and butter in this world...'
