Looking at the new skill Javalin got Damon normally would have been all smiles but the scene before him felt a little off looking at silverback eel fighting for its life as the poison spread throughout its body.
he wasn't sure if the intuitive itching feeling was because this was his first real battle with a wild beast but he knew he had to follow his gut feeling.
"you are a magnificent Beast and I respect you I know you can understand what I'm saying because of your maturity level. I'm a little bummed out because you tried to kill me for whatever reason but I have this feeling to put it all aside." he said the silverback eel.
the silverback eel looks at Damon with curiosity in his eyes.
"javelin, cure."
listening to Damon's command javelin went to the infected wound opening her mouth as white fangs popped out stabbing them into the opening wound on the silverback eel.
Within minutes the venom had been stopped and disappeared but the wounds on the silver back eel remained. Its breathing became better as half of its strength started to return almost immediately.
feeling its power and its physical strength return the eel was able to lift up his head slightly. its blue sapphire color skin was now dirty and looked to be drying out because it wasn't in water.
"I've given you another chance so please don't attack." he said to the silverback.
after regaining enough strength to lift up the top side of its body off the ground the silverback eel looked at Javalin for a few seconds. Their eyes met and Javalin gave it a nod in which Damon thought was weird.
"so you two can communicate with each other." he asked Javalin in which she looked at him and nodded.
"hmph I wonder if all beasts can communicate with others or if it's just a level thing with both of them being prime beasts and all. If either I'm sure it's a lot of shit talking while they fight as well " Damon thought.
in his thoughts and looking down he didn't notice but the silverback eel had moved closer to him. looking up he saw the eel stretching its head towards him but wasn't startled or scared and instead he stretched out his hand touching its head.
Its skin was slick,rough and felt a little elastic and dry but Damon knew it was because of how long it's been out of the water.
Ding!
[the wild beast lesser prime silverback eel would like to bind its soul with you. do you accept.]
Damon was dumbfounded and surprised, he knew awakened souls could bind their souls with other wild beasts and become their masters as well but did not know the requirements. he immediately accepted the request.
Ding!
[error ]
[your soul core only has one soul chamber that is currently occupied with the soul beast Javalin, another Soul chamber must be unlocked by strengthening your soul core before request can be met.]
"what, wait, damn it. you can't be serious right now." he says in frustration.
"you didn't think it would be that easy did you." shield chimes in with light laughter.
Damon separated the connection between them. "currently I'm not strong enough to bind a part of my soul with yours but if you can wait I promise you I will return for you."
with that said the eel nodded its head up and down with understanding. it then turned to look at javelin once more with respect as two portals that had small ripples and waves of water opened up, one right beside it and the other just above the river.
it entered the portal right beside it and came out the other portal above the river entering back in its domain.
Javalin slid up Damon's leg wrapping her lower half around his waist like a belt and upper half rested on his back and shoulder as they both watched the eel swim back up stream to its territory.
"you did very well girl and I'm sure that new skill of yours will definitely come in handy. at least one of us is having success with leveling up skills." he said while rubbing her head.
Damon noticed the time and that he needed to get back before 4:00 and so he turned back headed up the stream the same way he came from.
a while later after passing by the silverback eels territory he realized he had either gone too far or not far enough.
"Damn it, horrible time to get lost." he mumbles to himself.
thinking back and knowing the system and its blueprints of obsidian City, and thinking about the devices that helped everyone throughout the city with directions he knew there was a good chance the system could lead him back and was correct after opening the system finding the location of obsidian City.
not only did he find the location of obsidian City. there was a map of the area as well in which he could simply look on the map to find locations. looking closely he could tell the only locations on the map where places he had been. seeing this made him believe as he ventures throughout areas the system itself would record the locations and places and update it as he goes.
it was literally acting like his own GPS that gave him multiple directions as well as a Time he would arrive depending on his speed.
Damon immediately decided to take the shortest route which would lead him through a forest he hadn't been in before that was separated by a branch of the river, but was still near the grey leaf forest.
as soon as he stepped in the forest the visual map that he was looking at through the system began updating and an outline of how big the forest was materialized as if stating he had now been to that location.
"hmph, the system never ceases to amaze me." he said as he walked.
the forest was drastically different because of how the trees were. there were barely any leaves on any of the trees and all the trees looked to be sick and some type of way giving off a spooky vibe that he ignored because he thought the forest was just dying.
After a few mins of walking in the forest a few things did seem kind of odd to Damon like the air for one was very stiff and stale reminding him of the cavern in his subconscious space and that it wasn't a single sound, but once again Damon just ignored the signs.
"I think it would be best to hurry out of this area." shield says in a concerning manner.
"oh shield,don't tell me you're afraid of the environment, the trees only look spooky because the forest is dying. idiot boy your senses are below a novice, there is a fading and negative energy residing here that I do not like." shield responded to Damon's tease.
hearing this and shield's tone which made him concerned as well Damon did not question Shield's words and instead picked up his pace and began to run instead.
after around five minutes of running the negative fading energy became stronger to Shield because he was the only one that could sense it, not even Javalin could until it was almost too late and her instincts were very sharp.
"Damon, wait, stop and turn back now. but we are nearly, shut up and listen to me you must run the other way. the negative energy I was sensing, it wasn't fading, it was being concealed. Shield aggressively shouts in Damon's head that caused a slight ringing sound in his ears.
Damon had never heard shield react this way which caused him to panic. shield had said a few things aggressively before especially if Damon did something stupid but not to this degree.
gathering his thoughts seconds after panicking an electric charge within his feet could be seen as he crouched and pushed forward activating static jump. he shot passed the trees at a very fast speed with Javalin still wrapped around him.
now that Javalin could also sense the presence of something, she did her best to try and find it, and around a third static jump from Damon is when she saw something of a blur that looked like it was chasing them by teleporting from one spot to the next.
she couldn't make out the figure even with her great eyes as its body materialized and vanished like a ghost, but she knew it was a great distance away and was moving in on them at an incredible speed.
Suddenly a weird sense of energy could be felt around him as he used static jump over and over while Infusing a little demonic ki with each jump. it increased his speed, but he knew he couldn't overdo it or he would be useless by depleting his ki and so he used small amounts.
the weird sense of energy around him wasn't coming from whatever they were running from, but from Javalin and this made Damon even more terrified because out of nowhere he could suddenly sense her emotions as clear as day and she was undoubtedly filled with anger and a strong sense of fear.
Damon cut his eyes at Javalin who was looking back and remained like a statue not taking her eyes off whatever it was for a second.
"do I look back, should I look back. no stay focused and keep running I'm going to try and override the system." shield says.
So curious about what was happening, Damon wanted to listen to shield but before he knew it his neck had turned slightly around as his activated oculus.
Damon's heart felt like it stopped within a fraction of a second because that's how fast a beast or creature that was in pursuit of them appeared and then disappeared.
Boom!
Boom!
suddenly small explosions could be heard as Javaline fired three obsidian spheres hitting nothing but trees and the ground. Javalin's head was raised up but still over Damon's shoulder while firing out the black fireballs behind him. it was like he had the laser gun from the predator movie that was on its shoulder. but instead of a laser it was Javalin shooting fire balls.
