vora jumped in the air swiping numerous of times as claw-like purple and silver energy left her claws. they crashed into the side of the beast creating multiple explosions blowing it into the valley walls.
they both landed a few meters away from the beast expecting it to be dead but the red energy hadn't faded.
the shell wolf stood on its feet which were heavily damaged. green blood spilled underneath its body as its intestines hanged from its belly. the long tail head reached underneath its belly and began eating its own insides slurping them up like noodles. an apple size crystal was seen briefly and the beast ate and swallowed it as well.
vora and Damon looked in disbelief not understanding what was occurring. the red glow of the beast faded as it laid down. life faded from its eyes and its entire body turned grey and cold in seconds.
"it's not dead Damon. I know of these beasts. once they reach the prime level they have a skill called life swap which can only be used when near death as long as their kind is near. shield spoke.
suddenly they heard more yelling and screaming than they had been hearing behind them. the rest of the squad were doing well against the smaller ones and the only thing that gave them problems were their numbers.
"that one is changing, what the hell, is it evolving right here and now glee shouted. vora and Damon turned around as a single arachnid pups had become huge with bulging legs and body. it soon raised up looking exactly like the one they defeated.
"How, how is our luck this bad. vora said to him. Damon said nothing. he wanted to explain what shield just explained to him but knew it would cause too many questions. he asked why this information wasn't told to him from the beginning by him or the system and shield gave a simple response.
" the system will tell you only so much about a beast or thing. I on the other hand believe in live experience. now go kill it again and this time don't stand there with your thumb up your ass while it transfers its life into another of its kind. he said bluntly.
Damon, clenched his fists becoming a little agitated with shield. "vora let's kill that one as well. the same way he handled the first. he said angrily.
they both were about to take off towards the beast but instead it launched up in the air not caring about anyone else landing around forty meters away from vora and Damon. it was clear it was headed for them as if it had a vendetta. it screamed multiple times in rage releasing a plethora of echo waves.
the attack knocked them back creating wounds on their bodies. Damon activated recovery mist again while creating another two balls of storm clouds after getting back up and gaining his composure. "you wanna play it that way, ok let's do this wave for wave she shouted in her head. a deep grumbling sound was heard in vora's stomach as if she was about to regurgitate or throw up. her eyes flashed as she snarled before letting out loud howl. "Damon jump in the air." she said to him just before she released her attack.
purple orbs burst from her body along with silver wavy energy that began exploding as it moved outward over forty meters crashing into the beast flipping it over multiple times. its body was thrashed around and Damon followed her lead throwing the storming clouds along with a web of lightening. the ball of clouds did it again. attaching itself to the beast creating tentacles and webs of electricity.
with vora's explosive power and Damon's storm cloud which was still a freestyle attack because he hadn't done it enough times to make it an automated one hitting the beast at once. the beast continued tumbling as both of their powers did not let up for a second.
"let's finish this, Damon said as he relaxed his arms and began levitating eight inches off the ground and purple static sparked from his feet. vora took a running stance as her claws and feet became covered in purple and silver energy.
they both nodded at each other before blasting off at insane speeds. Damon concentrated his ki through his sharp fingernails and they began pulsating deep purple. he stiffened his fingers straight as veins bulged in his forearm. vora's speed was faster but this was part of their plan they had spoken out mentally when they nodded at each other.
the beast had yet gained its footing as it continued to tumble and try to fight off the storming cloud balls and the aftershocks of vora's attack. it let out loud screeches seeing them approaching slinging its head tail releasing sharp curved attacks once again.
Damon and vora dodged the attacks while still advancing. the beast has just now begun to fight off Damon's earlier attack as the balls began disappearing but vora was ready as a purple rose sprouted by its tumbling legs blowing up keeping it from gaining its balance. this gave them a few extra seconds in which vora slashed at its underbelly while its legs were blown upwards flailing around. her claws pierced it's stomach and a explosion occurred afterwards creating a open wound. it wasn't big but it was big enough for what was coming next.
pulling her claws out, the beast swung it's head tail while screaming and had begun shifting its body weight back down so it's underbelly wouldn't continue to be exposed but it was too late as Damon appeared right beside her. demonic ki shifted out of his fingertips as the lightening began spinning like a drill with a condensed sharp point.
He thrusted it inside the open wound vora made as hard as he could. the beast yelled in pain crying and screaming as its echo energy blades were slung out uncontrollably. the beast insides were once again on display as the electric drill spun and fried its insides boiling it's blood turning it black. it's stomach bulged up as the pressure increased and seconds later everything blew out of it spewing all over them.
its body had begun glowing red once again but this time Damon didn't wait as he stopped the drill attack and felt around pushing his arm deeper inside it until he felt a small hard jagged ball. snatching it out completely.
the beast fell dead to the ground the second its crystal was removed from its body. Damon's hand crackled with electricity as he held on to the crystal. he soon powered down and so did vora as their forms reversed to their original ones.

{lowly prime shell wolf crystal obtained.}
they both were breathing a little heavy but not too much. "good work, you're not half bad vora said jokingly which took Damon by surprise as her personality didn't fit the joking or completing type. not bad yourself he responded.
looking up they could see the others were finishing off a few more Arachnid pups while many others took off running scurrying back their holes.
Javelins fight had ended a while ago and she was coiled up laying on top of the beast who was five times her size. the lesser prime beast body had been badly burned and partially destroyed. "Damn, Javalin you didn't pull any punches with this one Damon said as he walked up to her. she then slithered up his legs and arm placing her head near his hand and began vomiting. a yellow crystal the size of lemon came out her mouth and into Damon's hand.
"ewww, couldn't you have just kept it safe another way he said touching the slim covered stone. he put it in his dimensional storage space along with the other and received another notification.
Ding !
{lesser prime beast crystal obtained.}
they all began looking for more crystals inside the dead arachnid pups from earlier and the recent ones. around twenty six were found which all came from high matured pups and a few mids that were believed to be near evolution. afterwards they continued on their mission as darkness was not too far away.
no one questioned Damon about getting the higher tier crystals. it was his soul beast that defeated the lowly beast and his finishing blow to the prime beast that killed it so they all didn't care.
the more pressing matter was them witnessing Damon in a different light which was his demonic form. he was asked a plethora of questions in which Damon responded with a simple answer.
"it's a curse, it comes with my ability to create rain. he said. kimbo gave Damon so many confused looks.
"what happened to him. if he had such power why didn't he use it against us when we tried to kill him. did he go easy on us, was he able to control it back then. was kimbos thoughts to himself. alot of things didn't make sense to him but he knew it didn't matter.
"I am very sorry. he whispered while watching Damon talk to the others as they all walked.
another three hours had passed and they had made it to coast city thirty minutes before night fall.
