In those few months after the evolution, Abraham spent most of his time relaxing with his family. The only thing he did was train his Qi and blood energy. And thanks to the Qi training alone, his health points and other stats have increased a little. As for his exp, he got it from Robert and Gwen hunting beast or dalki.
Looking in front of him, Abraham saw what he came for.
Its immense form wreathed in flames that danced and flickered with an otherworldly intensity. Its body was an amalgamation of blazing crimson scales and obsidian-black armor, Spines jutted from its muscular frame, radiating an intense heat that caused the air to shimmer and warp around it.
Its eyes burned with an unholy fire, glowing with an intense and malevolent light. With each breath, it exhaled billows of searing hot smoke, adding an eerie veil to its fearsome visage.
The demon's muscular limbs, resembling those of the mighty dinosaur, were adorned with sharp, obsidian-like claws that gleamed with an otherworldly radiance.
At its back, it had a large club on the end of its tail.

[ Quest reward ???]
As the Emberthorn, the fire element demon beast, bellowed a deafening roar that reverberated through the volcanic landscape, Abraham prepared himself for the imminent battle. His eyes focused, his muscles tensed, and his mind sharpened, he stood ready to face this formidable adversary.
With a burst of speed, the Infernal Incinerator lunged forward, its massive claws engulfed in scorching flames. Abraham swiftly evaded the initial strike, his agility allowing him to dance away from the demon's grasp. Sensing an opportunity, Abraham retaliated with a swift blood swipe attack, his dagger slicing through the air with a crimson trail. The weapon made contact with the demon's fiery scales but only produced a clanging sound.

"Shit" just being close to the Emberthorn, the radiating fire coming from its body was affecting Abraham. Taking some steps back, Abraham got out of the affected range while also devising a different plan to proceed.
The Emberthorn felt enraged having missed his target and decided to switch tactics. In the lapse of a second, Abraham just saw the beast open its mouth and a huge fireball was coming out of it toward his direction.
[Blood wall]
Immediately a wall made from Abraham's blood formed between him and the fireball attack. The wall was destroyed instantly but it allowed Abraham the time to escape. The instance after, Abraham saw that the Emberthorn was preparing another similar attack.
"There is no need to block such attacks if I can just evade them." With this thought, Abraham equipped his two beast equipment.
[Shadow equip]
A dagger could be seen appearing on his hand and a pair of boots manifest itself on his feet.
[Silent Sting Dagger - Emperor tier] | [Best Advanced beast boots]
[Strength + 20] | [Agility+ 10]
[Agility +20 ] | [Stamina+ 6]
Then without wasting time, he activated the active skill of the beast boots.
[ Active skill ]
[Attribute shift: On activation, the user can pull up to 20% points from base Strength and pour them into Agility. The process is reversible by returning the point to strength. The ability remains for 5 minutes and after that is a cooldown of another 15 minutes]
[Agility: 92 + 20(dagger) +10(boot)+ 18(20%) : 140]
[Strength: 74]
Undeterred, the Infernal Incinerator unleashed a torrent of fireballs, each one hurtling towards Abraham with intense heat and destructive force. With the new agility, Abraham was able to swiftly dodge and weave through the fiery onslaught. Whenever one of the fireballs would hit the ground, an explosion would take place.
With evading, Abraham has been moving closer and closer toward the beast. Seizing an opportunity, Abraham lunged forward, his movements fluid and precise, preparing to launch an attack. That's when the Emberthorn turned 360 degrees and used the large curb on its tail attempting to crush Abraham.
But Abraham was ready. As soon as he saw the tail approaching, he used the flash step skill. Avoiding the strike, Abraham appeared close to the Emberthorn and he was less than one meter away from the beast. At such proximity, hp was decreasing at a higher rate.
[-3hp]
A small sacrifice for a critical hit. Abraham got into position and perform the Blood Hammer. The blood hammer consisted of blood spray and the hammer strike which focus on the inside, an internal attack, the perfect counter to those with abilities who hardened or transformed their bodies. But that was not all. Using his improved blood control, Abraham added a rotating effect to the blood spray causing it to behave like a drill.
[New skill created: Blood Hammer Drill]
[Blood Hammer Drill is a combination of the skill of Blood Spray, Hammer Strike, and blood control. While performing the hammer strike and using blood control to rotate a blood spray like a drill to pernitrate an opponent.]
As a last touch, Abraham did not forget to add Qi to the attack. What followed was one of the most unbelievable scenes ever done by a human.
High up from another mountain, Robert, Gwen, Happy, and Pele were watching the whole event happen in front of their eyes. Seeing Abraham in action, all of them came to a single conclusion. Even with all of them combined, they won't be able to produce such a feat.
When Abraham evade the curb from the tail and launched the attack, they only saw his hand come in contact with the beast's skin. Then, coming from the other side of the beast, blood started to erupt.
The blood hammer drill combined with Abraham's powerful Qi energy has got from one side to the other.
As the fire beast suffered the blow, a mighty and resonant roar erupted from its scorching maw. The roar echoed far and wide, reaching the ears of the group on the other mountain, striking a primal chord within them.
