Chapter 43 - Blood Beasts

Feng was completely oblivious to his surroundings, he couldn't sense the beast as he was in a crucial point of condensing the grimoire.

The blood beast had landed by his side and sent a slash towards Feng, a ray of blood light appeared in the form of three claw lines towards Feng! Just as the slash arrived at his side, a black metal covering protected Feng from the attack. It was Proteus!

This bought Feng more time, the slowly condensing grimiore was on the brink of finishing, that was when another loud growl was heard, but this time the air twisted and sound waves blasted towards Proteus, stunning him for a moment.

At that moment Feng's eye opened and a flash of golden lightning appeared within them. The grimiore condensation was complete!

Within the first page of the grimiore, a few ancient words appeared and at the top were a few understandable words.

"Lightning Web"

Feng extended his hands and spread out his fingers, a golden lightning seeped out of the ten fingers and turned into a lightning web, encasing all within its perimeter.

The blood beast was intelligent and knew its normal attacks wouldn't work. So it walked around the corners of the lightning web looking for an opening. Feng didn't follow its movement and focused his lightning mana into his fingers, the web became even more fierce and was retracted to form a mini web.

The beast saw its opening and pounced, as he did that the sillouhette of a sky wolf was formed behind it, a sky piercing howl sounded out and formed sound waves that traveled towards Feng's soul! Unlike the stun attack from before, this was an entirely different thing.

The lightning web that was located in between Feng's palms and within his fingers suddenly flashed out and sharpened at contact with the seemingly invisible waves aiming for his soul. The waves broke apart with a loud woosh and the lightning web tore through the air towards the wolf. Space seemed to twist at the very existence of this web, this terrifying power alerted the nearby creatures and the sleeping mercenaries of the fight between the two beings.

This blood beast seemed weak and only as strong as level 7 creatures which Feng could easily deal with so it was taken care of swiftly. Feng wordlessly walked over to the melting carcass of the blood beast and inspected the ground for the spoils of battle, the body had already dispersed, so there was no selling the body parts, all that proved its existence was a large blood pearl.

[Another one of these; furthermore the energy in the pearls from the blood beasts are richer than the ones obtained from the puppet generals. The Blood Queen is so generous, keep killing these blood creatures and you can get more blood pearls necessary to make Proteus's body]

Feng was still as wordless and expressionless as before when he picked up the pearl and placed it in his storage crystal. He walked over to his previous spot next to the stone egg and continued to connect with the laws of the world.

[Eh, what're you doing? Doing that won't bring about anymore benefits, just consodilate your foundation instead of trying to act badass.]

This words were for naught as feng had already begun to connect with the laws again, the previously dispersed lightning laws gathered again above feng's head and the golden lightning grimoire by his side flipped a page, on this page was another spell.

On the top of the page, the spell name was there, boldly written.

[Chaotic Golden Lightning Palm, that skill is…]

Feng did not further try to connect with the lightning laws and continued to cultivate until it was dawn.

. . .

The days passed by in a flash. Each passing day puppet generals and blood beasts came in a constant stream. During these days Feng constantly practiced the two grimoire spells, but he wasn't limited to that, he also developed a new offense, defense, and evasive form; The 'Grand Nihility Art' composed of various forms and styles.

Apart from that he also managed to compile information on the blood beasts; They were formed from the Blood Queens blood essence and was the second puppet ability when it came to blood techniques, Feng also observed that the blood beasts he faced were coming in an ascending order, from weakest and then ascending in strength.

After it reached a point of the cycle the blood beasts were accompanied by puppet generals, significantly increasing the challenge of the fights.

Over this time, Feng had gathered multiple Blood Pearls and 'High-essence blood pearls' as they called the blood pearls of the blood beasts. If they managed to gather a few more blood pearls, then Proteus's body could be formed. But of course, Feng did not forget to snag some pearls for cultivating his body.

[Feng boy, don't forget that you have other main mana types that you've yet to train not to talk of condensing a grimoire, so forget about the lightning for now and go train in those manas, the first should be the Primordial Chaos mana and if you have time, maybe train the Druidic mana along the way,]

'Right.'

[By the way, it would be best for you to name your grimoire, I learned this while I passed through this dimension, that's all for now.]

Feng knew that Damon had traveled through numerous dimensions including the empty and fantasy dimension, so his saying of 'passing through' the dimension was not exaggerated. He cast all thoughts of Damon aside and pondered the cultivation of the two strange mana and thought about names for his grimoire.

'Hmm, Tome of Lightning, nah too arcane sounding. Book of Lightning, too plain sounding. Hehe, I got it, Records of The Lightning Deity!'

Feng felt proud of this arrogant name and thought about the cultivation of the two strange manas.

According to Damon Druids were a friend of nature so the goddess of nature gave them the abilities of wood and tree manipulation, animal transformation, an affinity with nature, the ability to communicate with trees, and many more.

Feng was in luck for some part because one of Long Hu's subordinates was a Wood mana cultivator, so as long as she explained it to him a little, he was sure he could grasp it.

Apart from his confidence in that, he had no reason to believe he could do the rest; apart from being extremely sensitive to trees, he was not a nature lover like all the other druids, perhaps this was inherited from his celestial demon bloodline and a character from his father.

Thinking of his father, black lines appeared on Feng's head, he sighed and walked over to meet Long Hu's subordinate.
