The Seven Deadly Child
Ice Rhino
Issabela continued to run while occasionally dodging, directing the rhino towards the agreed field as planned.
Soon, Issabela approached the field, and prepared to sign a change of position with Gregoric.
"That's coming, they're coming!!!!" Theo who was looking from the top of the hill became excited.
"Haha.sister, prepare to see an interesting show. Look at your brother's abilities!" Gregor was no less excited, he then stood up and prepared to wait for the sign from Issabela.
Soon Issabela arrived in the middle of the field. He then gave the Ice Rhino a kick to get enough distance between the two. As the distance of the two widened, he immediately signaled towards Gregoric.
Gregoric who received the mark from his brother immediately jumped out and lunged at the ice rhinoceros with a fist punch.
Booommmm.....!!!
Gregoric did not hold back his strength at all. The powerful fist punch made the ice rhino who was advancing at high speed to hit Issabela again thrown.
Gregoric then advanced to confront the ice rhinoceros which now looked increasingly angry.
"Okay sister, I'll leave it to you, I'll go to Theo's place."
"Give me brother." Gregoric gave a thumbs up.
The ice rhinoceros immediately turned his gaze away from Issabela, now focusing on Gregoric. The ice rhinoceros prepared to butcher once more, its feet scratching the ground. The ground roared as the rhinoceros began to run towards Gregoric.
While Gregoric was looking at it, immediately took the surviving horses. He intended to clash directly with the rhino, not intending to dodge at all. Gregoric seemed confident in his physical strength, as he had already intended to become a Meridian Knight long ago. Hence, all this time he had been focusing on forging the body.
Booommm.....!!!
The ice rhinoceros hit Gregoric. But Gregoric, who had prepared, managed to withstand the collision by holding the ice rhino horn.
Although it managed to hold back, this clash pushed Gregoric backwards while still holding the rhino horn far enough. Leave a former straight line on the ground, according to the direction of the rhino's lunge. After a while, the ice rhino's thrust weakened until it finally stopped. Gregoric who was still holding the rhino horn then began to smile evilly.
Theo who saw the first clash made an expression of O's large mouth shape, he was stunned his older brother managed to resist the attack. However, he then saw his brother's evil smile.
"Ahhh again! smile at those street criminals again! so it was a family smile. Goddamnit! my family's really a psychopathic family." Theo muttered.
"You said something?" Issabela, who had been focusing on Gregoric's actions, asked.
"Haha.forget it, I didn't say anything" Theo replied awkwardly.
"Hmmmm" Issabela glanced at Theo for a moment then refocused on Gregoric's fight.
"Well, now it's my turn" said Gregoric, who was still smiling as if the rhino understood his words.
After saying, Gregoric was seen concentrating, then inhaling the air deeply through his mouth and expelling the air through his nose. The air coming out of Gregoric's nose is blue. After the blue air was exhaled, a chill spread around it. He gripped the ice rhino horn firmly, then the muscles of his arms were seen starting to enlarge.
The ice rhinoceros, feeling threatened, began to try to remove its horn from Gregoric's clutches. But whatever the rhino did, he failed to let go of the grunts, even Gregoric grip strengthened.
Gregoric did not release the momentum he had gained from the beginning, with his two hands and arm muscles getting bigger, he began to lift the rhino little by little until finally the rhino was fully lifted.
The sight made Theo's eyes again glare and his mouth formed the letter O. Not every day he saw a human being able to lift a rhino that is more than 3 times the size of his body.
"Wowww.haw...!" exclaim Theo.
After Gregoric lifted the ice rhinoceros up high, he slammed the rhinoceros hard on the ground. It causes a deafening blunt sound.
"Hmmm not bad, ice muscle technique." Issabela, who had been observing, made a comment.
The ice muscle technique was the hereditary technique of the House Alknight. In the past, many Meridian Knights from the Alknight house trained this technique early in their process of becoming Knights.
This technique utilizes where ice flows in the air to be flowed into the muscles. In this way the muscle mass will increase, then give the user strength several times the original physical strength. But because there had long been no Knight candidates with a double seed element with an Ice attribute inside the House, this technique had long since been no one to use.
The ice rhinoceros this time looked in pain, but his body still looked unharmed, and was preparing to get back up. However, Gregoric was unwilling to let go of the momentum that he had taken for granted. Before the rhinoceros rose, he again grasped the rhino horn while pressing it to the ground so that it could not stand.
Gregoric again inhaled a deep breath of air through his mouth, preparing to use the ice muscle technique once again. After his muscles grew bigger, this time Gregoric did not lift the rhino up high, but began to twist his body. Gregoric began to spin around like a top, after a quick enough turn, he then threw the ice rhinoceros.
The ice rhinoceros was thrown into the air quite high and then fell down with a loud thumping sound. Creating cracks in the ground.
Not wanting to give the rhinoceros any momentum at all, Gregoric ran towards the place where the rhino fell, then he jumped up high, reaching his hands together in a grasping position with each other. He drained the ice covering both hands, and slammed the ice-covered fist of two hands into the rhino's head.
"Ice Impact!" chanted Gregoric.
His punch hit the rhino's head. Gaining additional, harder pressure, cracks in the ground widen and then disintegrate and create small craters.
Getting hit on the head hard, the rhino's body twitched several times until it finally stopped moving not to stand up again. Although the skin was very hard, the impact shook the rhino's internal organs. Moreover, the blow is right on the head, the head is the greatest weakness of every living creature.
Seeing the battle that had ended quickly, Issabela brought Theo closer.
"Good, our first hunt went well. Immediately end the suffering of this young rhinoceros, and grab his Crystal Beast!" Issabela gave the order.
"Anu sis, the skin is so hard, how do we split his head and take the Beast Crystal? I've been hit with all my might as well as his outer head like it's not scratched at all" Gregor replied.
"Hmm. basic inexperienced" replied Issabela.
Then he raised his hand. The ice froze over his hand, but in contrast to the ice that had enveloped Gregoric's previous hand that formed a large chunk of ice, the ice that enveloped Issabela's hand was beautifully elongated and sharp-looking. He formed ice into a sword.
After the ice sword was formed, Issabela thrust the sword into the head of the ice rhinoceros. The ice rhinoceros again twitched for a moment, then completely stopped, this time for good. The ice sword stuck smoothly like cutting tofu, digging in and then by gouging, Issabela took out a crystal from inside the ice rhinoceros' head.
"If you're dealing with an enemy of this kind, don't harden your ice, but try to sharpen your ice. It's more efficient to cut it than to hit it, but it's certainly not that simple, it all depends on the development of which quality your Element seed produces."
"So continue to practice developing mana qualities, do not just focus on body forging alone" Issabela advised Gregoric pepper unhurriedly.
"Give me! give me! I want to see her." Theo eagerly wanted to see the Crystal Beast for the first time.
Issabela threw the crystal at Theo. Theo swiftly caught it and then observed the Crystal.
The Beast Crystal was light blue, air-conditioned and had a round shape. Inside the crystal Theo could faintly see the shadow of the ice rhinoceros. Theo watched enthusiastically.
"Hehe sister, how's your brother, cool right?" Gregoric approached Theo who was observing the Crystal Beast.
"Yes you look more rhinoceros than this rhinoceros itself, I can't wait to see you absorb this Crystal and turn into a fully human rhino hahahhaha.." Theo laughs.
"Hehh, why does it seem more of a mockery than a compliment." replied Gregor annoyed.
"Alright, immediately save the first Crystal well, according to the initial plan, it as a backup." Issabela gave the order, then continued.
"There are some Spirit Beasts with ice attributes that have good physical body qualities for a Meridian Knight candidate like you in this outer Area. But their quality is not much different from this ice rhino, so it would be better if we go deeper into the middle of the forest. I hope we can find a suitable Special quality spirit beast."
"Sister, after reading the catalogue yesterday, there are actually 2 spirit beasts that I made a target. They were the White Tiger and the Frozen Bear, both of them were spirit beasts with special growth rates." Answer Gregoric
"Hmm, the two are not too difficult to deal with, but finding them is a different case. Both of them are types of spirit beasts that do not like to group together, so we have to find their nest first." Issabela gave her opinion.
"All we do first remains according to the original plan, entering more into the forest area, into the middle area, even though later you will not find your target, at least there are some suitable Beast spirits"
When the word bear is mentioned, Theo's ears immediately twitch. "Sister Gregor, I suggest you better find a frozen bear, it looks cooler" Theo said.
"Ohhh so do you think? I can't believe you also have enough insight in your childhood. Frozen bears are so cool, they look fierce, so my physical changes will look cool too." Answer Gregor.
"Look cool, look cool, what are you thinking? the important thing is the benefits, the form is not so important" replied Issabela
"Hahh, then why was it that when you did your first hunt, you insisted on just wanting a beautiful Ice Fox? At that time I was completely messed up by your whining." replied Gregor ketus.
Kkvmk.....!
"Auchhhh kakkkk, it hurts so much! where did the wooden stick suddenly appear from?" Gregoric held his head.
"Hush still!"
Issabela put on a villainous smile that left Gregoric speechless, swallowing back the sentence he was about to say. He just glared at Issabela while rubbing his head.
'Blessed be your future husband' murmured Gregoric softly.
"What did you say?" Issabela asked with a smile.
"It's nothing" Gregor replied as he stepped back.
Actually, if Gregoric or Issabela knew what Theo was thinking, they might vomit blood. Theo actually from earlier did not think the benefits or cool appearance of frozen bears. He's just still curious about the 'hibernation' technique, the full-year sleep technique. From the first time he heard it, Theo had already decided to make a frozen bear his idol.
After a while, this group of 3 people continued their journey down the path. Towards the middle forest area.
