The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Chapter 572 Getting trolled by opponents

'Clang'

'Crack'

A figure could be seen fighting against an army of skeletons. No matter how many he killed, they seemed unending.

To add to the spice, a group of hell pups was behind his back all the time.

They were large hounds, each two meters long. No eyes could be seen on their faces. Instead, there were big holes in their necks.

Without even having eyes, they were somehow able to locate him every time. They had sharp pincers on their backs as if they were not already scary.

'Bark'

Rishi had eliminated dozens of them, but they kept approaching him. They were agile and dodged his chains, somehow reaching him every time.

He had to constantly change his position every second, or they would be encircling him.

If it were up to him, he would have used stronger spells or summoned his contracted beasts.

But the last thing he wanted while being in this unknown place was to get out of his mana.

Slowly but surely, he was improving his battle tactics. He was getting used to these fast-paced battles.

As the time passed, he was forgetting about everything; he was lost in this battle.

Each of his movements was smooth and calculated, and with each sword swing, he reaped the lives of multiple opponents.

Wherever they fired arrows at him, he redirected them back towards the Skeleton Archers.

Skeleton mages were a pain, so he eliminated them first.

It was then that it suddenly struck his mind, 'Wait, why am I fighting them in the first place?'

'Am I not good at concealment?' He laughed at his stupidity before using the Shadow Cloak to disappear.

He was about to leave, whistling with his hands in his pockets, when he felt his danger alarm ringing.

Without wasting a second, he used 'Shadow Blink' and dodged.

When he turned, he saw multiple skeletons and hounds attacking that place. His concealment didn't work.

He took out his swords and started fighting again. With concealment, he delayed their response time.

This made the battle a little easier, but looking at their numbers, he didn't feel any joy.

'Shit, what crappy place is this? Since when are even creatures below Epic Stage able to see through my concealment?'

It was not that he was arrogant. The truth was that he had never been caught by a lower-level opponent.

Here, every creature was laughing at him, not caring about his concealment at all.

'Why? What could be the reason?'

He wanted answers. As he thought about it, he suddenly remembered what Vinay had told him.

'Vinay, how can undead creatures see without eyes?'

'They don't. They see through the eyes of the soul. Instead of looking at you, they only see your soul.'

"Wait, how do we conceal our soul?" He asked himself.

He thought about it for a while but was not able to find a way. He tried many things but was each time discovered by the opposites.

"I understand the logic behind these skeletons, but what about these pups?" He asked as he kicked the head of one hound.

They have not slowed down at all. Still as annoying as before.

After fighting for half an hour, Rishi saw that the area around him was covered in the corpses of his opponents, but they kept coming at him.

It was then that an attack landed on his back, and he felt the impact and was pushed forward. It was the claw of one of the hounds.

'You puppies dare?' His eyes shone in a red glow, revealing his killing intent.

'Bark' The hounds wagged their tails and moved back, afraid of him.

For the first time, he had succeeded in scaring these hounds. He chuckled.

"What happened to your bravery now? Come on, puppies."

He had not even celebrated this discovery when he saw skeleton soldiers encircling him and attacking him again.

Wave after wave of killing intent was released from Rihsi, but all to no avail. Skeletons didn't care at all and kept attacking.

"It looks like you guys aren't afraid at all." Rihsi laughed half-heartedly before starting to face them again.

Fighting against these undead creatures was not tough; he could do that with his eyes closed.

However, they were in huge numbers, which made them extremely annoying.

He kept fighting them, and it took him one hour to exterminate them all. Finally, he got some time to relax.

Now he used his concealment and hid his presence, which made it hard for anyone to notice him.

Instead of mindlessly venturing further, he decided to first find a decent hideout. He moved around and found some big rocks with cracks on them.

He entered one of them. After that, he hollowed out the rock from inside and created a shelter for him.

Making full use of his knowledge of runes, he made this big rock a perfect hideout. He inscribed multiple concealment and protection runes on it.

In this terrifying place, he didn't want to take any risks. First, he wanted to survey his surroundings.

"It looks like I need to delay my search for Vinay. First, I should gather information about this place."

He took out food and water from his shadow space, while he could survive without eating or drinking for weeks.

He could not compromise them because eating, drinking, and sleeping helped him recover stamina, mental fatigue, and mana faster.

As he had expected, the meat tasted even better after fighting such a tough battle.

While many things have gone wrong for him, one thing that he was proud of was that he had not wasted any mana.

To survive in this place, he had to make sure to not waste any mana, shadow energy, or frost energy.

He had to refine his concealment and battle techniques. Today, the opponents he faced were all at a lower level.

They didn't even have any special abilities, but he still struggled to face them.

'Boom'

It was then that he heard the sound of lightning. He peeked outside and discovered that it was raining.

'Drip'

Instead of normal rain, it was raining blood.

'boom'

Lightning struck and blasted a boulder into Rishi's sight.

'Oh Shit!'

Rishi started inscribing multiple defense runs. He only stopped after he had inscribed a defensive array good enough to eat multiple lightning strikes.

He didn't stop there and used an iron rod to create a lightning-absorbing array. This array could help him store a large amount of lightning.

Later, he could use it for different things. The only thing he could think of was to create lightning trap arrays to protect his shelter.

'Clap!'

But it all appeared to be a fancy dream when he saw the Irron rod getting struck by countless lightning strikes.

It first became red before the array below it exploded into a large explosion.

'Boom!'

Rishi was lucky he had picked a place quite far, or else he would have been in serious trouble.
