The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Rishi's hard work resulted in him creating powerful battle art. This was the path he was going to take.

This art would increase his offensive ability in multiple ways. For now, he had a proper vision for this battle art.

He only needed practice and repetitive training to master it. He looked at the notes that he had written.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his tired face. He could not wait and decided to focus on creating the Battle Art first.

This took one month of his time, which left him with only a little time to spare, but he was satisfied with the result.

[NAME: Nether Shard Battle Art

Passive Abilities:

1.) Crystal Body:

Description: The shards, upon materializing, crystallize into a hardened form, making them sturdier and more resilient.

Effect: enhanced durability and toughness, allowing them to easily endure attacks and impacts without shattering. This crystallization process makes it easier to generate them using ambient shadow energy.

2.) Spell Displacement:

Description: The crystallized shards possess an innate ability to allow other spells or attacks to pass through them.

Effect: renders the thorns immune to direct spell-based attacks, enabling enemy spells to traverse through them harmlessly.

3.) Defence Break Drill:

Description: The shards rotate in the air at high speed and gain an enhanced piercing effect.

Effect: Amplifies their piercing ability, allowing them to maneuver through defenses or armor more effectively upon impact.

Techniques:

1.) Red Mode: Explosive Burst:

Description: Triggered by the user's command or upon impact, the Shards in Red Mode detonate.

Effect: Generates an explosive burst upon detonation, dealing area-of-effect damage to surrounding targets. The detonation releases shadow energy, causing damage to nearby foes.

2.) Blue Mode: Expansion:

Description: Activated at will, the Shards expand rapidly upon being launched.

Effect: The expanded shards increase in size, dealing additional physical damage upon impact due to their enlarged form. This mode prioritizes physical damage over shadow-based effects.

3.) Purple Mode: Spatial Transfer:

Description: Engaged by command or when triggered, the Shards enter a spatial manipulation mode.

Effect: In Purple Mode, the Shards can seemingly teleport or materialize from any shadow within a three-meter radius around the opponent's body. This sudden appearance adds an element of surprise and unpredictability to their attacks.]

He had succeeded in creating powerful battle art. It was not something that a magic beast could learn.

He now had to create something easy to use and had low consumption.

The result he came up with was not good. No matter how much he tried, the consumption of Shadow Energy, even a simpler version, was not something the Shadow Beast could keep up with.

This would lead to a fatal flaw: the user could not use it to its full potential outside the area rich with shadow energy.

Added to the slow rate of recovery speed of Shadow Energy, this ability became inefficient.

After thinking for some time, he came up with a solution. He could plant 'Shadow Core' inside the creature.

This would solve the problem. It would make them even stronger.

He also needed to engrave the Shadow Runes to implant these abilities with Special Serum to complete this evolution. His 'Inspect' ability became useless; he depended on himself.

Only now did Rishi realize that his decision of not wholly relying on 'Inspect' was right.

He started working on the required runes first; he had to engrave them with the 'Body Transformation' rune to make changes to the creature.

To allow the evolved creature to have these abilities, he needed to allow the creature to have them before evolution.

This was another headache; he had to use multiple resources and modify the structure of the beast's body.

He needed to purchase information about these modifications. The information he was able to buy was basic.

However, that was sufficient; he had no interest in changing the complete creature. He only wanted to attach one artificial organ.

It was something that allowed the crystals to form naturally on the back of the creature.

He was making it using crystals so that when it evolves, it will be able to retain them.

The evolution of Serum used the 'Beast Essence' of Phantom Golem; by doing this, the creature would gain the ability to control them.

The technique he would engrave using Rune was called 'Nether Thorns,' and the difference between this technique and 'Nether Shards' was way oversized.

The initial structure of 'Nether Thorns' would form naturally all over the back and neck of the creature.

The Wyvern would control them and attack the opponents when released from the air.

All he needs to do is control them and provide shadow energy. Runes itself would do the rest of the work.

After he had created the hypothesis, Rishi started experimenting, but before that, he fed the Wyvern multiple resources to increase its 'Shadow Affinity.'

He also planted a fist-size 'Shadow Core' inside its body with multiple runes engraved.

This was a painful process, and the Wyvern needed time to get used to it. However, the Wyvern was surprisingly resistant to Shadow Energy.

When Rishi saw this, he sighed in relief. This allowed him to be more confident.

He prepared the model of the new organ. It was like an enhanced egg tray with hollow space for multiple shadow crystals.

It had many runes engraved on it. He had made it entirely out of crystals to make them stronger, and he added runes that could help it recover damage by consuming shadow energy.

He then called the Wyvern and transplanted this two-foot organ on its back; this process required him to use machines.

He used potions to make the Wyvern fain and used other potions to make it recover.

This could have been way more dangerous if the organ had to be inserted inside its body, but it made things easier because it had to be inserted outside.

The process of organ fusion was more complicated. The wyvern cries of Agony could be heard every time of day for some days.

Rishi had already told the Wyvern the difficulties it would face and also promised that this would allow him to rise to another level.

The evolution of all its mates had put pressure on the Wyvern. It also wanted to evolve but didn't want to evolve into a wyvern similar to them.

His mutated body was the proof. It was taking another route. 90% of its cells have mutated now, with Rishi's help.

This made it resist the corrosion from shadow energy. The new organ on its back was connected to the 'Shadow Core.'

The Wyvern was now able to create 'Shadow Crystals' on his back. With the help of Rishi, it was even able to learn to use them to attack.

Rishi ejected the Evolution Serum from his body and started waiting for its evolution.
