The Seven Deadly Child
The Frozen Pine Forest
Frozen pine forests year round freeze, containing frozen giant pine trees. However, when spring arrives, the ice melts in some parts and shows some brown tree trunks. Even so, the air around the forest was still cold.
At this time Theo group was walking leisurely, unlike other groups who were stirring by rushing to jump from one tree to another. They just walk down the path.
"Sister, do you have any Spirit Beast suggestions as to what I should take for my first assimilation?" Gregoric asked Issabela.
Issabela who was looking around then turned to her sister with a strange look
"Sister, didn't you spend last night in the family library reading catalog records about spirit beasts? Why haven't you made your own decision yet? don't you know yourself better about your needs?" Issabella asked back.
Gregoric smiled awkwardly. "Actually I already have some targets, but as you know, I want to become a Meridian Knight."
"As a Meridian Knight, when I change shape, my physical form will follow the shape change of the Spirit Beast that I absorbed right?"
"Nahh I've seen some friends who have assimilated Spirit Beasts. When they make a change of form, they become so ugly."
"So, I want a spirit beast that besides being strong and suitable for me, is also shaped a little cool. Because I don't want girls to look at me with weird looks when I change shape. That's why I asked your opinion, from the point of view as a girl. hhahahha…."
Issabela stopped, then glared at her sister, "Nothing, and in your brain there are only girls? stop playing around like that, you are a young master." whispered Issabela annoyed.
Gregoric pursed his lips, "I don't mean, brother."
"Isn't that what???" Snapped Issabela again.
"Sister, if you keep like that, you remind me of third uncle. He always nagged me with almost the same words, is this a family tradition word?" Theo made a comment after listening from earlier.
"Yes yes, Theo is right! you look like third uncle. Ahaha.." Gregoric immediately approached Theo and grabbed onto his shoulders. Then give her a thumbs up. 'Union of victims of family nagging' murmured gregoric slowly.
"Yes and don't be like that often, you look older!" feeling wind and support from Theo's 'family nagging union' added.
Hearing the word "old" coming out of Theo's mouth, the corner of Gregoric's eyes twitched, he looked at Issabela for a moment, then immediately let go of her embrace on the sister's shoulder and tried to get away from her.
"Ehh brother.." Theo felt something strange.
"Who's your sister? We don't know each other." Gregoric answered, getting away.
"OLD??" Issabela who had been silent was suddenly in a aura.
"Good, good, so you think I look OLD huh?" Issabela looked at Theo while putting on a smile, a strange smile that looked like a street criminal.
'Glek' Theo gulped and looked in horror at his brother. Now he realized that he had said a word that he should not have said in front of his sister.
He then turned to Gregoric while putting on a hearty face to ask for help. Yet Gregoric who received Theo's gaze immediately stepped further and further away.
'******** this, what family scolding victim association?' murmured Theo frustratedly, he then returned to look at his smiling older sister.
'And that smile, why do all family members have a smile********** such street criminals?'
Kkvm...!! blottkk..!! blottkkk...!!! bleakkk...!!!
Issabela hits Theo on the head with a wooden rod that she somehow gets from nowhere.
"Auhhhhhhhh.kak, do you want to kill me?" Shouted Theo while holding his head.
He then looked at the older sister in front of him. Her brother still put on a villainous smile as he furrowed his forehead as if beckoning 'Still dare to answer?'
Theo's back was cold, he immediately shut his mouth and dared not protest further. He could only complain in his heart.
'Damn, I was born into a psychopathic family!'
His older brother then disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of Gregoric who was immediately startled.
Kkinkkkk..!! blotakkk..!! blottkk..!!
"Auchhhh, brother, why did you hit me too?" gregoric protested while holding his head.
"Be quiet the two of you******little!" snapped Issabela and still put on an evil smiling face.
'I feel sorry for the man who will marry you later' Gregoric murmured softly.
"What did you say?"
"Mom.not anything hehehe"
Amidst the casual chatter the ground suddenly shook violently. Far away, Theo's group could see a cloud of dust moving closer towards them, this was clearly a moving flock of Spirit Beasts.
Issabela immediately jumped up on one of the nearby pine trees to see more clearly. After observing for a while, he then went down and explained the situation.
"This is still the first day and we are also still not too far into the outer forest area, but in front there is a herd of Ice Rhinos coming towards us."
"Ice Rhinoceros is a spirit beast with a Normal growth rate that has a strong body, I guess they will be suitable for you who have the ice attribute and also at the same time want to become a Meridian Knight."
In this world, Spirit beasts are divided into several levels of strength, almost the same as Knights, class E to Class S. But the difference is that knights have 8 levels in each class, but the difference is that knights have 8 levels in each class, Spirit Beasts only have 3 levels in their class, namely the initial, intermediate, and peak levels.
In addition to classes and levels, they also have different types of growth rates. This growth rate affected how far the spirit beast could grow.
The growth rate in divided into three, namely Normal growth rate or commonly called Normal Beast, Normal Beast maximum will only be able to grow into a peak B-class Spirit Beast.
Then on top of Normal Beasts, there were Special Beasts capable of growing up to become peak A-class beasts. On top of the Special Beast, there was an Ancient Beast capable of growing into a legendary S-class Spirit Beast. This growth rate was a lineage that could not be changed.
"Huhhh, just a normal Beast? I want to find the Ancient Beast, or at least the Special Beast." Answer Gregoric.
"Much protest! this is still in the outer region.if you want to get a special beast, we have to go deeper into the middle region.we just save one crystal beast from this ice rhinoceros for a backup option."
"At least we've got the Beast crystal whose attributes and physical condition meet your needs" replied Issabela.
"Well, by the way, brother, where did master Beric disappear to? I haven't seen him since we entered the forest." Ask Gregoric.
Gregoric thought that if he and his brother were going to do the hunt, at least they would not leave Theo alone.
"Master Beric only served as a supervisor, not much different from me. he would only watch from a distance, otherwise he would not really be needed, he would not show himself."
"So take it easy, let me take care of Theo, you do the hunt yourself, I'll keep an eye on you from afar with Theo. Don't tell me you're afraid to hunt alone?" Asked Issabela while raising her eyebrows.
"If only one doesn't matter, it's a herd of Spirit Beasts, I thought Brother Gregor would need your help in the hunt. Don't think too much of me, I'll observe from afar!" Theo replied, he does not want to and does not want to feel a burden.
"Look, you guys moved some distance from here. While I'm gonna wait for this herd to come here."
"Later I'll lure and separate one of the ice rhinos in the herd for you. And when it's near, Gregor will come and face it. While I'll replace keeping Theo and being passively observing." Issabela gave instructions.
"Not bad, so much better." Answer Gregoric.
"Okay, then immediately find a good position and signal that you're ready!" Answer Issabela.
"Uhuuuu, it's getting funnier, I feel pounding." Theo put on a happy smile.
Gregoric then took Theo to an empty field not far from their previous area. Because according to Issabela, the field is suitable for use as a battle area for Gregoric.
Arriving in the empty field, Gregoric took Theo up a small hill that could be used to oversee the entire empty field. From the top of the hill Gregoric signaled to Issabela that they were ready in position.
Issabela, who saw all had been in the agreed position, immediately looked for a hiding place to wait for the herd of ice rhinos to arrive at her current location.
After waiting for a while, the ground tremors grew roaring, signaling the herd of ice rhinos was getting closer. Issabela could then see a horde of ice rhinoceros comprising about 50 ice rhinos approaching its position.
The ice rhino has a very beautiful physical shape. Just like the name suggests, the ice rhino has a body that looks like ice, white.
The ice rhino looks very fragile and seems to break at any time. However, in contrast to its appearance that looks beautiful and very fragile, in fact this ice rhino is very wild when provoked.
They were irritable, and moreover their bodies were extremely hard. Ordinary humans would die in one sitting, ordinary human warrior weapons would be broken when used to attack their bodies.
The downside of ice rhinos is that, even though they live in groups and are always moving in flocks, they don't really care about their herds.
If one breaks away from the herd, the other will not care and continue to travel. Only concerned with the safety of his own life. Therefore, Issabela suggested a strategy to separate one from the herd.
Issabela observed every ice rhinoceros that passed before her from behind the pine tree she was hiding in. After observing for a while, he finally chose one of the ice rhinoceros that looked young because it was smaller than the rest of the herd.
After deciding, Issabela came out of hiding. He jumped up and immediately launched a kick towards the ice rhinoceros.
Boom...!!
The ice rhinoceros flew a few meters and then fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Although the ice rhinoceros looked unharmed, because it was his hard body and also Issabela who did not give out all his strength, he said, as a top D-class Knight, of course, it was not a problem for Issabela to defeat this E-class young ice rhinoceros. But he deliberately reduced his strength because it was not him who had to face it, but Gregoric.
The unseen ice rhinoceros was injured then stood up again. The rhino looked at Issabela in anger.
Meanwhile, the herd was getting faster running because of the commotion, the young rhino who got a kick looked angry and began to be provoked to run towards Issabela.
Issabela's first kick had made the young rhinoceros come out of his flock, and as he ran to strike Issabela, he left the herd. This young rhinoceros was blinded by his anger.
"Good! get caught easily!" Issabela smiled with satisfaction, immediately running to lure the young rhino further.
