Several days later, Aris and Cera were both close to becoming High-Rank Spirit Beasts. Sadly, Aris hadn't found any worthy opponent during all this time, which frustrated him to no end. He wanted a proper fight, not a one-sided beating.
On this day, Aris and Cera felt powerful shockwaves coming from one direction. Aris immediately charged into that direction, Cera following him. These shockwaves felt powerful, and Aris knew that he would be able to have a real fight soon.
After a minute, they arrived in a clearing. What they saw shocked them.
There was a dead rhinoceros on the floor. Judging by the feeling of its body, Aris and Cera knew that this had been a High-Rank Spirit Divine Beast. This was exactly what Aris wanted to fight. Yet, it had already died. The fight hadn't even taken that long!
On top of the corpse, they saw another beast similar to them biting into the corpse.
This beast was Yersi.
