There is no antagonist in this story, as the biggest antagonist is MC himself

The three swirls were floating above Shi Yan's head like giant clouds.

Sparks flew inside the swirls and wisps of cold Yin Qi were repeatedly refined in the swirls, forming strange grey light spots.

The air above the Yin Field was filled with natural Yin Qi and had remained as such for a long time. But the huge attraction from the three swirls was showing a pattern of rapid consumption, swallowing it to the last.

Shi Yan's expression was serious, as if he had entered some enigmatic realm.

The swirls above his head suddenly emitted some grey light spots, all of which entered Shi Yan's body.

Because of that, Shi Yan's body started forming a vacuum which everyone present felt!

His body was now like a black hole, sucking in all the grey light spots that released by the swirls!

The grey light spots flickered and jumped as they entered into Shi Yan's body.

Shi Yan was now covered in a grey glow and a chilling atmosphere spread out from him in all directions.

Whoever got near Shi Yan couldn't help but feel stiff. The circulation of their Profound Qi would slow down and they would have to use their Qi for defense or else they would be affected by the dense Yin Qi.

It was like Shi Yan had transformed into a giant Yin Qi-swallowing monster!

Shi Yan was sitting as still as a stone while the three swirls floating above his head were wildly swallowing and transforming the Yin Qi in the Yin Valley. He was continuously refining the Yin Qi, transforming it into purest form of Yin energy, which was in turn nurturing his cultivation.

In Shi Yan's chest, the three meridians of Tian Que, Shen Que, and Yin Du started rapidly gathering the grey light spots that had rushed into his body.

These grey light spots all represented the purest form of Profound Yin Qi. Huge amounts of light spots all entered the Yin Swirls and were refined to the purest degree. This refined energy then started gathering at the center of the Yin Swirls.

Unknowingly, in the center of the three Yin Swirls, three rice grain sized pearls slowly started forming.

Once he detected the formation of the Yin Pearls, Shi Yan's expression shook.

He discreetly started to detect his surroundings. When he realized there was nothing abnormal, he went back and continued circulating the Yin Swirls, ready to keep absorbing more natural Yin Qi.

"You don't need to stop." Xia Xinyan stood by Shi Yan's side, her beautiful eyes glinted, "I know what you're doing, and I know you can hear me too. The Nine-headed Sky Snake will reach here really soon, but we'll take care of that. You can keep swallowing the natural Yin Qi here."

Indeed Shi Yan could hear Xia Xinyan's voice, but he couldn't reply to her.

"Miss Xia, if Shi Yan doesn't stop here, the Nine-headed Sky Snake will attack him first." Ku Long said hurriedly.

Zhua Qi and Chi Xiao also looked at Xia Xinyan with a bit of surprise, not knowing what she meant by her proposal.

"The Nine-headed Sky Snake has nine heads, three of which can breathe fire, three can spit poison, and the remaining three can control the Yin Qi in the Yin Field to attack differently."

Xia Xinyan's pretty eyes glinted, and she explained in seriousness, "The three heads that can control the natural Yin Qi are very troublesome and they will be hard for us to take care of. But now we have an advantage. If Shi Yan keeps sucking in the natural Yin Qi like this, that means once the Nine-headed Sky Snake gets here, the Yin Qi attack will be swallowed by the swirls above Shi Yan's head! This way, three of the nine heads will be greatly weakened!"

Upon hearing that, Zhua Qi and Chi Xiao's eyes both glinted. Together they nodded and approved, "Not bad!"

"Once those three heads become powerless, the Nine-headed Sky Snake will be a lot easier to deal with. Zhua Qi is not scared of the venom, and you also brought the Silver Curtain. So now we only need to put our efforts in dealing with the three fire-breathing heads. Because of Shi Yan, this fight is going to be a lot easier for us." Xia Xinyan said calmly.

Zhua Qi and Chi Xiao nodded quietly, they both agreed upon Xia Xinyan's suggestion.

"Would my young master be okay?" Han Feng suddenly opened his eyes and coldly stared at Xia Xinyan, "Although we are very interested in the Gate of Heaven, the young master's life is more important!"

"He's only bait, he can just keep up what he's doing now." Xia Xinyan frowned and continued, "If he wants to wake up he could do so anytime. But he will need a whole lot more time to try to gather the Yin Qi like this another time."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The thundering roar was getting closer.

The earth was shaking and in the distance, a faint but frightening figure slowly started to appear.

"Get ready to fight!" Chi Xiao shouted.

---

At another entrance of the Yin Field.

Beiming Shang's expression shook slightly. He looked far away into the distance at the smoke-like swirls that rose into the air. His cold eyes flashed with a trace of confusion.

"Grandpa, have they started fighting?" Beiming Ce asked.

Shaking his head, Beiming Shang said, "No, it's just that the natural Yin Qi has become abnormal. It is gathering towards where Chi Xiao and his group are at. The Nine-headed Sky Snake is out of the Yin Valley and is rushing towards them. I wonder what is going on over there."

"When should we get there?"

"Let's wait! Wait until their fight is almost over."

---

On another side, the people from the Dark World were also gazing at the three floating swirls. They were also full of surprise, and didn't know what was going on.

"Master? It's like... like the natural Yin Qi has changed and is all gathering towards that one spot? Could it be that the Nine-headed Sky Snake has already started to attack?" The demonic young man guessed.

"The Nine-headed Sky Snake is able to use the natural Yin Qi to cultivate, but it shouldn't be this overbearing. To make all of that natural Yin Qi flow towards one spot, I think even the Nine-headed Sky Snake would be unable to make such a grand gesture. Besides, the change is from outside the Yin Valley, it's obviously done by Chi Xiao's group." The Lord of the Dark World said with a deep tone.

"Should we go and see it?"

"No, we will wait for Beiming Shang's news. If Beiming Shang doesn't give us the signal, we will stay put for now. Your mistress should already be there, so if the Gate of Heaven really appears, your mistress will send out a signal, we don't need to be in such a hurry."

"Understood."

---

The three Yin Pearls were slowly forming. With more natural Yin Qi flowing in, the three Yin pearls grew brighter and brighter.

The Yin pearls were in the middle of the Yin Swirls outside of Shi Yan's meridians. They were rolling in the air and whenever a wisp of grey Yin Qi came in, the Yin Pearls would immediately absorb the grey light spots.

Only when the Yin Pearls were truly formed, would they finally sink into the three meridians by themselves.

Shi Yan knew this deep in his heart. So when he clearly heard Xia Xinyan's words, and knew that Han Feng and Ku Long were very worried about him, he still didn't stop the movement of the Yin Swirls.

He had a hunch that the Yin Pearls were at their crucial moment, and perhaps they will soon be truly formed successfully and then enter into his meridians.

When the three swirls showed up above his head, he was also shocked.

When the three swirls started insanely swallowing the natural Yin Qi, Shi Yan was finally sure that the [Black Formula] that was only ranked as a Mortal Level Martial Skill, was not something ordinary!

What kind of Mortal Level Martial Skill could cause such a big disturbance?

He really couldn't think of any.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Terrifying roaring sounds thundered from the distance and filled the whole Yin Field.

The Nine-headed Sky Snake was a demon beast at the pinnacle of Level 7. Legend has it that it was an ancient mutant, a hybrid born from a dragon and a python. It has the ability to keep evolving, so when the Nine-headed Sky Snake has swallowed enough Yin Qi, poisonous air, and fire, it could evolve again and become a Level 8 or even a Level 9 demon beast.

The reason why this Nine-headed Sky Snake decided to take over the Yin Field, was because this place was rich in Yin Qi, and the outer perimeter of the Dead Swamp was covered by poisonous fog. It wanted to occupy this place so that it could use the poisonous air and the Yin Qi present for cultivation.

Soon a mountain-like figure, the Sky Snake with nine giant heads, finally came out of the Yin Valley.

The Nine-headed Sky Snake had a body like a mountain, covered with silver scales and sharp spines. All nine of its heads were about twenty-something meters long. Each head was like a giant python and had creepy white fangs, each head was breathing out either poisonous fog, Yin Qi, or flames.

"Attack!"

Once Zhua Qi saw it, his face hardened and he charged ahead of others.

Earth Dragons abruptly came out of the ground. Zhua Qi's body flickered and he possessed one of the Earth Dragon's bodies.

When Zhua Qi possessed the Earth Dragon, its body covered itself in a hard earth armor. The dragon head faintly looked like Zhua Qi's face and its body grew twice the size.

"Zhua Qi was born from a Level 8 Mud Dragon and a human female warrior. The Mud Dragon was originally the true master of the Dead Swamp and was able to transform into human shape. It was also once the strongest demon beast in this area. Legend has it that back then, the Mud Dragon was the king of the demon beasts here and not a single warrior could offend his prestige! The Mud Dragon was a Level 8 demon beast, comparable to a Spirit Realm warrior. But a thousand years ago it suddenly died in the Dead Swamp, it was a baffling death. Many years after its death, the Nine-headed Snake finally appeared in the Dead Swamp, and drove Zhua Qi to the outer perimeter of the Dead Swamp. It forcibly occupied the Yin Valley to cultivate, which is why Zhua Qi has so much hatred for it."

When Zhua Qi possessed the Earth Dragon and charged at the Nine-headed Sky Snake, Chi Xiao quietly told about the grudge between Zhua Qi and the Nine-headed Sky Snake.

"Level 8 demon beast!" Xia Xinyan's expression also shifted slightly, "No wonder Zhua Qi can control the poisonous mist and also freely travel through the mud. So he's a hybrid between a Mud Dragon and a human."

"If he didn't know how to control the poisonous mist and the mud, he would've been killed by the Nine-headed Snake a long time ago. At the outer perimeter of the Dead Swamp, as long as Zhua Qi could hide in the swamp, nobody can do anything to him. That's the reason why it's so tough to handle Zhua Qi."

"You two! Can you start fighting now?!"

On the other side, Zhua Qi was in the form of an Earth Dragon, and he yelled from inside the flames that were breathed out by the Nine-headed Snake, his voice sounded a little urgent.



Growing up parentless, Shi Yan, who was left with a large amount of inheritance money, bore a general disinterest in life.

The only times he felt alive was when adrenaline coursed thorough his veins. He quickly found that extreme sports, bungyjumping, cave diving & skydiving, gave him the biggest kicks. The bigger the adrenaline kick, the closer he was to death, the more alive he felt.

Waking up in a pile of dead bodies in an unknown land, after a diving adventure had ended disastrously, he quickly realizes the body he now possessed was not his own.

Follow Shi Yan as he explores this new world where danger lurks around every corner, and death is only a breath away; a world in which Shi Yan could not feel any more alive.

Freya jerked from her slumber only to curl upon herself. She hissed loudly in pain as she clenched her shoulder. The burning in there turned into an inferno while tears leaked from her eyes. Despite Justin's best efforts, the stitching had done little to help with the pain. Bruising had formed around the wound, and her skin had turned an ugly black. The first few days it had swelled while she burned with a fever. Not once had Mouse come to see her, and the other healers did not have the power they did. They could only treat the infection, not heal the wound. She had been lucky it had not killed her.
Shaking her thoughts away, she parted her lips and breathed out slowly. Instead, she clenched to the memory of Justin's hands as he wrapped her... the unspoken questions between them. He had not asked further about her confession. Freya, on the other hand, had not pushed to give him answers. She knew soon enough he could come to claim them from her. Although, she had a feeling he already knew the answer. Justin was wise in his own way. It scared her just how... smart he truly was when he put his mind to it.
Shaking the thoughts away, she finally sat up. The makeshift fur blanket fell from her body. Still bare from her sleep, the cold assaulted her. She shivered from the cold while she glanced around the room. It took a few moments to realize... she was back in Bellaroos. She had thought for sure she was still at home... the dream... it had been so real. She had been able to feel the fur of her dogs...smell the smoke... feel the grass under her feet. She could still hear the blood curdling screams that left her sick to her stomach. The illness invaded her at the memory. Yanking around, she placed a hand over her mouth and leaned down. She pressed her head between her legs and allowed her eyes to clench closed. Her stomach, empty, attempted to undo itself. Horrible dry heaves wrecked her system as she trembled. Acid burned along her throat and choked her. She had seen blood... gore... but never like that. Never in her wildest dreams had she seen something so...
"Shut up." She cried out as a hot tear dripped along her cheek and curled itself to her jaw. She tasted the salt as its journey ended as it hit the floor. "Why me? Why?" She sobbed.
In her anguish, Freya shoved herself up and yanked her breast bind from the chair it sat on with her clothing. She couldn't sit here. If she sat here, she would lose herself. The only thing that was keeping her alive was doing something... moving... otherwise... The tightening in her chest and the memory of home will one day tear her down. She had accepted her fate, just as she had accepted there was little chance she would ever return home. It was the hiss that drew her from her thoughts and memories.
Freezing, her eyes landed on a small snake that was curled up on the chair. It was only about two feet in length with a rose red color. Black bands were placed along the snake with smaller yellow bands on the black. The snake flickered its tail with excitement, yet she could see it was rather relaxed. Could it be a pet? Unsure, she hesitated for a second or two before she stepped back. She kept the snake in the corner of her eye while she pulled on her breast bind. She had learned to use different materials to help keep her breasts in place, while also giving them proper support. It was a pain to have them always flopping around, let alone have them constantly being looked at. Once she had it in place, she picked up a new shirt. Blinking in confusion, she realized it was not the one she had laid out. Her old shirt had been fixed after the cheetah attack, but it would seem someone decided to give her something new. It was beautiful. A deep rose red was the background color while black rings were placed along the black of the dress. Down the side were black spots with dark orange painted in the middle. In the light, she could see it was translucent. It was beautiful with the collection of dancing colors. The dress was meant to come down to the ankles with elbow length sleeves. It took her a moment to realize it was made of snake skin.
Freya finger brushed down along it before glancing around the room. "Hello?" She called to check if anyone was in the room, but she was alone. Could... Looking down at the snake, she knelt down and narrowed her eyes. "Hello?" She mumbled, yet the snake only flicked its tongue at her. "If you are a beastman, I swear I will chop your fucking head off." Freya muttered. Her memory flashing back to the times she had snake for dinner. Perhaps, she would fry this one up. Huffing, she ignored it and looked at the dress again.
Freya chewed on her bottom lip, but pulled the dress on. The sleeves fit loosely against her skin with a softness that surprised her. The way it hugged her had her smiling just a bit. Brushing her hands along it, she picked up her leather sandals to put on. She had made them from deer hind, so they did the trick to protect her feet. She tightened the strap, and then went to working on her hair. She had been using bones for a brush. She needed to find something better though to wash her hair with. It had become dry and frizzy since her stay. After taming her hair, her attention finally turned to the snake. "Now, what am I going to do with you?" She mumbled before reaching over. The milk king snake did not even flinch when she picked it up and placed it around her neck. With that, she opened the door blushing a bit. She wondered if Alec had brought her the dress. "Lets hope Alec is in a better mood." Freya mumbled under her breath as her finger absently brushed along the snake's skin.
The hallway, true to the ancient times, were collective dirty bricks. There were no pictures, no color, and only the natural light and torches paved the way forward. Without them, she would have no ability to find her way. Which she needed as the quakes shook the stone. It woke her senses causing for her eyes to flicker about as she tried to focus on what caused the sounds. Her nightmare had made her jumpy... the thought of the calm before the storm and the bloodbath she had witness brought a new fear into her subconscious. This would be no common conflict. This would be a war to decide the fate of the clans... of her life. Freya felt sick to her stomach all over again. Her arms had moved to wrap around her chest as she shivered. She wanted to go back to her room and hide for the rest of the conflict, but she was pulled forward. She kept moving without breaking her stride as the vibration sounded again. It lead her down another hallway, down the stairs, and onto the main floor. Perking her ears, she absently brushed her thumb along the snake before stepping forward again.
Freya stopped at the sight before her. Widen eyes stared as she took in the sight of Alec as he sat on a throne of thorns. It was made of stone that have been beautifully and expertly crafted. It was hard to believe it would be created with the non-existent technology here. Stone vines collected along the side of the throne, cross-crossing, and climbing with thorns extending out like spikes. He sat there like a king overlooking his subjects. His feral green eyes glared down with clear displeasure. His black hair laid along his neck and shoulders like a mane. He had not cut it since Tessa's threat. To be honest, she found it rather sexy. Black wolf ears were curled back and pressed down against his skull. She had never seen them, but then again she never seen him show any wolf features while still human. His green eyes, so beautiful and clear, were now darken with dilated pupils. His lips were pulled back in a low snarl to reveal sharpened teeth including two canine fangs. Alec wore no shirt, however he did have on the feline pants that came down to bare feet. The only darken color in the pattern was the black tail that curled around him and flickered in annoyance.
His eyes were focused on the small group below that stood before him. Although, a crowd stood on either side of them both of his people and some Freya could tell did not belong here. Some of them did not have feet, rather hooves replaced them. Rather than wear animal skins, many of the hoofed creatures wore bark, collection of grasses and vines to cover them. Mud was streaked along their body and blended into their forms. She could see some had tattoos in the form of scars and splashes of colors to represent their clans, their place, and relationships. Others had a collection of spots, stripes, or patches that stood out on their skin like birthmarks. It was easy to tell what kind of form they took. Although, the most intimating were the collection of horns some of the individuals held. Curled horns, straight, forward, and backwards.. no horns had the same shape. The other half was the opposite. They were much more... like the Bellaroos clan. They ranged from young to old, while some did not have shirts on they all wore one thing in common. They wore shed reptile skin while others wore turtle or tortoise shells. They kept their shoulders and back open though, which she noted glittered with the sight of scales. Their eyes were slited and she noticed off and on the flicker of a tongue.  It was not hard to figure out they were reptiles... the Hopi clan. That was mostly given away by the Komodo dragon that stood glaring at Alec. Its drool dripped down like acid and collected at its feet.
It was Justin's voice that brought her back. "Say that again, Aadesh." It was then that Freya realized he stood at Alec's side. He glanced at Freya for a moment before turning back to the three. A man stepped forward. He was the only one out of the clan that wore a thick white woven shirt and pants. Curled grey hair settled on his shoulders and fell in his eyes. There was no ability to see the color, nor did Freya care to see them. Just like the clan, he had hooves. Behind him, stood a female with long thin legs and small hoofed feet. She wore a collection of wines and bark just like the others. A small white tail perked up behind her while two small white ears curled forward towards the two. It was easy for Freya to decipher her as a deer, but the male... She was not so sure.
"We will noooooooot be apart of this war." The R curled and the 'not' was dragged out when the male spoke. It took her only a second to realize he was a sheep. A thunderous pounding of hooves sounded in the room from his clan. That must have been the sound she was hearing down the hall.
Alec snarled low in his throat. "Our tr-"
"I knooooow what it staaaaates." The voice dragged out again. "Hooooowever th-"
Alec narrowed his eyes making the sheep shut up. The sheep bowed his head and stepped back slightly. "Do not interrupt me again." It was a threat, unlike what Freya has ever heard before. It was dark with a promise of immediate punishment. He commanded the room with a powerful presence that had even her shrinking back. If he spoke like that to her, she would not be able to help but obey. "Our treaty states that when we call, you come and you obey. We grant you protection, you grand your support."
"We are aware sir, but you must understand... We... We cannot go against them." It was the female that spoke this time. Her ears folding back. This time it was Aadesh that stomped his hoof in support of her words.
"Why?" A growl erupted from Justin's chest.
"We... can't say. Please understand. It was-"
"Coward." The voice was quiet, but it seemed to overcome the whole room. The male stood back, clearly not the figure head, but seemed to care little. He was tall, lean, and yet formed rather well. His skin was pale, almost a light grey. He had short bluish grey hair that collected just above his ears. Black scales collected onto his chest to then blend into a flat spiky turtle shell on his back. It was rich in color, and he was the only one that had something on his back. Those black scales ventured further down over his ankles were he stood bare foot. The second thing that stood out was the white fur that collected along his arms. No other member of his clan had fur on them making her nervous. The female next to him did not even glance over, but dressed in white scales with long white hair she looked like nothing compared to this man. Freya was glad she was unable to see either of their faces. However, she could tell the male was smirking.
Aadesh snapped his head around, but said nothing. It was the other male that kept speaking. His voice rough and taunting. "You are scared because Valhalla threatened you."
"Klpeto, explain." Alec commanded the room again.
However, a slow smirk slipped onto Klpeto's lips before he glanced over in Freya's direction. "She knows what I'm talking about." That was when all eyes turned to her, including those deep green eyes that she knew all too well.
Freya's body tensed slightly as she glanced about. Her form turning just slightly in defense as if it would protect her. She did not like this one bit. She didn't like the attention or the curl of Alec's lip. His fangs flashing as if to warn away anyone that dared take a step towards her, however Justin was faster. He came down the steps, slipped around the group and moved in her direction. It was then she realized why. Klpeto's tongue flickered outwards. It was a brief glance, but she saw the onyx color.. the deepest shade of black that colored his tongue and mouth. It was only then she could see his black lips... his black lifeless eyes. There was no mistaking the painting of scales that collected down his eye and along his cheek. They stood out against his pale flesh. He was a black mamba... the  deadliest snake known to man. One bite from them could kill a full grown man within seconds. Even she stared him down, however it would seem he had no intention of moving closer.
Justin reached her side as she spoke. "I don't know anything about this." Narrowing her eyes at him, she watched the black tongue flicker again. The husky came to stand slightly in front of her, tense and unsure while blue eyes watched the other two clans.
"Dreamweaver says otherwise." It was the first time the milksnake flickered its tongue and moved to slither along her until it hung along her arm. She glanced down at it before turning to Alec. "What did you see, little bird?"
A hand shoved her back making Freya yelp. She skid for a few inches just as the eruption of snarling and snapping echoed in her ear. Rolling over, Freya's eyes widened at the sight of the husky. His hackles were raised, his ears were turned upwards and forward. His tail was raised and buzzing with energy as he stepped forward. A bluish grey mamba hissed and curled on itself. Its head was pushed backwards read to strike. She was shocked how fast the snake had gotten over to her, and now it had positioned itself just in front of the husky. The two had a stand off, but no other party moved.
Shaky, Freya rolled until she was able to push herself up again. She went to speak, but the mamba spoke instead. "You ssssssaw it. Their power... their bloodlust. You are not of thissssss world." Gasps echoed throughout the crowd, but finally Alec shoved himself up.
"Enough!" Silence filled the room. "What did you see Freya?" Alec's voice commanded making her feel small, but still she held her head high.
"I saw... Kenya." The image of the individual wormed itself back into her mind. The thought of the black and orange feathers... the orange hair that shadowed their face... the voice... the voice that told her she would change the course of the world. "I saw the fall of the Kenya border. I saw a girl commanding them, and a bird... a black and orange bird that flew to sit on her shoulder."
"It would seem the Valkyrie has abandoned their peace." The mamba cold hisses swept across the room leaving Freya feeling more naked than ever before.

A peaceful life in the mountains is shattered when Freya wakes up alone, hurt, and confused in a strange land where people can change into animals, use magic, live primitive lives, and are in the midst of an ancient war.

However, what if she is the key to end the violence? What would you do if the price of love, freedom, and peace for everyone was your own life?

A gentle sun shined on the Blood Forest, bringing his warm touch on every plant and animal that moved in that region where even the earth had a crimson hue.

On the ground, hidden behind a thorny bush, a small rabbit was feeding on a long brown tuber, using his large frontal teeth to consume it. The sound of its continuous and rapid chewing resounded all around, making the creature somewhat nervous: the rabbit continuously looked around, moving his azure round eyes to scan his surrounding searching for danger.

Suddenly the creature seemed to sense something and rapidly looked towards the north, its long ear sticking up and its body readying to start running away. Yet, when the tense rabbit didn't see anything suspicious, it began to calm down. When it was almost going to return to his tuber, its long ears captured a swooshing sound coming from above it. The animal abruptly looked up and the last thing he saw was a grey figure, falling towards the ground.

The creature in question was a crow, a large bird that killed the small rabbit with a single talon attack. Which was strange: crows weren't supposed to be that strong, but this one was clearly not a common member of the species. Even the color of his own plumage, gray with some stripes of white and few spots of black, was incredibly particular.

The animal looked around, intelligence sparkling in its eyes, puffing his chest with a proud expression on his face. Who dared fight against it? They just needed to come forward and it would beat them to death! It even won a fight against a wildcat once! Plus, the crow felt its strength growing by the day! Now, there wasn't much that scared it.

Well, if not counting... the sneaky traitorous snake! The bird shrouded at that far memory. That demon that almost killed it when it was only an infant! 

Even now, it would check its surroundings twice each time that it would go down to drink, not wanting to be surprised by another sneak attack. However, thanks to that moment, he managed to activate his ancestral memories and know who it really was. 

The grey crow looked at the sun, its eyes fixing themselves on the far sphere of fire without any damage being done to them.

It then chuckled like a human being, and moved its long beak towards his prize. It was time to eat!
"Wooo"

Before the creature could take its first bite, a maddened howl echoed from behind the plants that were near it. Eyes widening in shock, the bird was petrified when it saw a bloody red wolf emerging from the thorny bush. The red wolf, a very big exemplary, was madly running around, its mouth filled with white foam and his reddened eyes filled with fear and grief.

The crow felt terror invade it: while it was sure of itself against other birds and even smaller mammals, it didn't dare to fight against a red wolf. It wouldn't dare attack a common red wolf, let alone the crazy strong one before him.

However, the wolf didn't even seem to notice the crow, running straight into a tree and crashing into the ground trembling. A low and painful wail emerged from his bloody mouth, as he tried to get up multiple times. Each time, he trembled in agony and couldn't do anything but fall down again.
The grey crow looked with horror at the strange phenomena that were happening to the red wolf, forgetting the fear that it just felt against the creature. What was causing it to behave like that? Was it a sickness?

Before long, the answer came. A shadow darted from the same direction that the wolf had emerged, placing itself right before the downed creature.

The crow, not too much far from this black figure, could see its shape and felt a shiver of fear running down its spine. A black serpent!

When it saw its eyes, the shivers of fears became tremors of terror. It was him! It was the devil! The bird wanted to take his prey and fly away, but then he remembered something. Its eyes ran to the sun for a few seconds, starting to shine with a golden hue. The bird seemed to regain confidence: it puffed his chest with pride, opening his beak, ready to issue a challenge.

However, what happened next made it close its mouth and start shaking in fear.

The red wolf summoned all his last strength, howling loudly to the clear sky and then getting up with a maddened look in his eyes. He darted toward the snake, with explosive force, his sharp fangs ready to tear the reptile apart.

The snake snickered, a pitying look appeared in his violet eyes. He didn't even move to avoid the assault. Instead, a strange silver aura started to emerge from the black scales that covered his body.
The silver light brought with it a sense of death, doom, and gloom that the crow had never experienced in its short life. Then under his petrified eyes, the wolf suddenly stopped in mid-air and then was sent flying towards the same tree that he crashed into before. The snake started hissing with an amused expression, as more silver energy formed around him and the wolf started to rhythmically move in the air and fall to the ground repeatedly.

The large bird was shocked beyond words: his eyes almost gauged out of his eye sockets seeing an adult red wolf being tossed in the air and crashed into the ground like it was nothing.

A feeble creaking sound emerged from his beak, almost an involuntary response to the bizarre scene that he was seeing.

The serpent sensed the sound, immediately moving his head towards the bird, looking at it with his violet eyes.

Under the examination of those eyes that populated his worst nightmare, the crow completely lost it: screeching in panic, the bird started to move its wings in a strange fashion, attracting the attention of the figure before him even more.

'Hmm? where did I see that thing again?' Darkscale felt some sense of familiarity when he saw a large bird moving weirdly around. It flew up for a few feet, then crashed down on the hard rock.
The strange thing was that he didn't even realize that the bird was there before hearing that sound it made. Which was very strange: normally the reptile was able to sense the presence of everyone around him.

'Maybe I was too much concentrated on training my Will Manipulation... ' thought the snake trying to find a solution on that little mystery. The crow itself didn't seem anything special: although it reminded him of something that he couldn't quite put his finger on, there really wasn't anything else that's weird about it. Well, maybe the color of the plumage.

Darkscale wanted to investigate further, but he was interrupted.

'Master, we have a problem... ' Carlelia suddenly said. The MAID hadn't talked to him in a while.
She seemed to have understood that he was pissed at her, and she stopped trying to start a conversation with him. She even stopped her old routine about how much he was in need of new souls to keep the ring operating well.

'Oh, that stupid human has finally started begging forgiveness?' It had been six days since he last saw the green haired human. He spent his time healing for a couple of days, then he began training his Will Manipulation. After his encounter with death, he had changed a bit his approach towards learning new ways to defend himself. Even if they were boring to train in, he needed them to have more tools in a fight.

In these past few days, he truly made some good advancement in his Manipulation Skills. His cultivation had proceeded well enough, even without the use of the pool of white water that was inside the Blue Cave. He actually didn't need to go to the Ghost Pond when he had so much Blood Energy available in the ground. This Blood Woods was truly an incredible place for people with his Heavenly Battleground Technique.

Sure, it wasn't like when he used it on the battlefield a week ago, but it was still the same rate of improvement of the Ghost Pond. But maybe that was only because the souls that were contained in the pool were very old.

'No... she's fine, but we are almost out of energy' announced the Artificial Intelligence.

"Again, I already told you to not use cultivator's time perception when talking to me!" he answered Darkscale annoyed. Here we go, when he finally was seeing some progress she immediately knew how to ruin it.

"Master, I am using your sense of time. It is very bad." tried to explain Carelia.

"Mine? How much is left, a week?" mockingly answered the reptile, shaking his head. Why wouldn't she just listen to him and stopped bothering him with this stupid energy quest?

"No, master... four days"
"???"

Sombre stared down at the two, Hornet kept looking around, he obviously had the feeling as if he was being watched.  His scales spiked and flattened a couple of times, his eyes darting around the forest.

Finally, once Sombre could tell that the other dragonbreath was no where nearby. He jumped down out of the tree, pinning Hornet down and freeing Violet. He kept his talons over the dragon's mouth, muffling any screams.

"Let me go!" Hornet hissed/mumbled through Sombre's talons before trying to wriggle free. His tail swinging around. "Let me go before I bite you!" Sombre rolled his eyes.

"What are you mixed with?" Sombre's tail lashed slowly. "A vampire, maybe a snake shifter?" He examined Hornet's scales, but there wasn't a single flaw to tell Sombre he wasn't pure blooded.

"What do you mean mixed?" Hornet bit Sombre's talon, making him flinch a little bit. "Do you think I'm some sort of hybrid!?" He snarled.

Sombre then heard a hissing sound from behind him, but he turned too late as a blast of hot flames came barreling into his face, he fell backwards onto the ground, his scales burning with pain.

He went into complete dragon form and unhinged his jaw, ready to spit at the deep, red skywing's face. His scales went from the colours of the forest, to a midnight black with red, orange and dark green spots. His wings flared and his eyes narrowed as he spat at the skywing, who promptly dodged out of the way, flew upwards and dove down at Sombre.

He tried his best to dodge his arial attacks and rolled out of the way a couple of times, but it was hard when he couldn't fly like the rest of the dragonbreath species. His scales turned to camouflage with his surroundings again and he started trying to dodge any blasts of fire breath like that.

The skywing shot another blast of flame in the opposite direction of Sombre, thinking that's where he was. The jungle around them quickly caught fire and soon they were surrounded by smoke and flames. Sombre had to go back into human form in order to make himself smaller and avoid getting burnt.

Hornet pounced on him and held him down until eventually the smoke got too much and Sombre passed out.

When Sombre woke up, he found he was lying in a moss bed, filled with leaves and feathers. He struggled to get up, but quickly realized he was being held down by strong, thick vines, which had thorns cutting into his skin slightly. He tried to wriggle free, but the thorns started to cut deeper into his skin, so he stayed still.

"Well what do we usually do with rogue rainwings?" Sombre heard Hornet as he walked down the hall towards his room, two more sets of footsteps behind him.

"There is no such thing as a 'rogue' rainwing." A woman's voice was heard from outside, he could hear her tail stitching slightly. "We're a peaceful species," she sighed, "he must be some sort of grey magics user like the other one." 

"Not even the most powerful grey magics user can impersonate a rainwing's face melting spit." A third voice growled, she had a gruff and dry sounding voice. "Maybe he's a mixed breed." 

Sombre watched the three walk into the room and turned invisible as they did, trying to tug at the thorns and escape, his tail lashing back and forth.

"There is no point in hiding your scales," a very queenly looking sandwing dragonbreath growled, "you'll be trapped in there until queen Raspberry identifies you." Hornet untied Sombre's mouth so he could speak.

"Let me go before I get myself out of here!" He spat and wriggled around again, only to be cut by the thorns along the vines again. "You won't like it if I escape on my own."

"I've never met a rainwing as aggressive as this one." Raspberry muttered, she had her scales set to be a bright green with red and black stripes and her eyes were a brilliant blue. "He must be some sort of grey magics user." 

"He smells like a real rainwing," Hornet said as he sniffed at Sombre's hair, his bright green scales making him look like a cactus with the way his scales pricked up, "he also has injured wings when in dragon form," Hornet combed back his frills for a moment, "maybe he's aggressive because he's from the outside?" 

"There is no way there are any living rainwings on the outside." The sandwing dragonbreath curled her tail and studied her claws as they unsheathed. "He's probably a mixed breed with a werewolf." 

"Do I look like a werewolf you lizard eating almond brain?" Sombre hit her in the side with his tail, which was turning dark green as he got more and more agitated. "I'm a full breed rainwing with spit that can melt your face," he flared his frills and bared his teeth, "and I'm also the dragonbreath leader from outside, so treat me as such and let me go!" 

"I see no leadership in this lizard." The skywing with the slimy voice from before came in, his hair dripping wet and covering his face slightly. "He can barely even fly, let alone lead an entire tribe of dragons." His tail flicked indignantly as his eyes landed on Sombre.

Sombre growled, but stayed silent, his eyes lowering as he gave up the struggle to escape the vines. His tail twitched back and forth while he listened to the two queens discuss what they should do with him. He felt disgusted at himself that he showed up to speak with these purebred dragonbreaths and ended up making a fool of himself.

Hornet sat quietly next to Sombre while the skywing went on and on about leadership to the two leaders. His red scales almost glowing in the pale light.

"So what's it like on the outside?" Hornet whispered to Sombre. "I heard it's full of magics hunters and humans." His leafy wings fidgeting.

"Do you guys not send scouts out to see how the outside is doing..?" Sombre's scales turned a very pale green with grey and blue spots covering it.

"No." Hornet looked down, his frills falling in his face. "It's too dangerous." His tail waved back and forth as he curled his claws.

"We had a war with the humans and won." Sombre's scales turned purple with pride, his eyes shining. "We won with only two full breed dragonbreaths and a lot of magics users." His smile faded as the three who were arguing about what to do with him looked over.

"Don't spread lies through Hornet's ears you cactus head." The sandwing queen hissed, her tail arching. "We don't want him leaving and getting into trouble."

"I'm not lying!" Sombre struggled to get free, this time the vines letting loose a bit. "We fought hard and finally won, I came her to let you all know it's safe to come out now!"

The giant scorpion's body froze, and he stopped in his pursuit. With a solemn expression, he looked towards the eagle beastman walking into the battleground.
So, it was him. No wonder Bai Qingqing was taken away without anyone knowing. With the appearance of this perverse stripeless eagle beastman, suddenly everything made sense.
But even then, so what? That would just add another defeated opponent to his list.
The eagle beastman was fearless in the face of death and was a hundred times more ferocious compared to the rootless beasts in Flame City. Also, he had extraordinarily good luck, coming out unscathed despite doing all sorts of actions that exceeded his means, such as recklessly challenging beastmen above his level.
Yet, he managed to escape from the claws of death time and time again, speedily elevating his status to that of a stripeless beast.
When he became a stripeless beast, the eagle beastman started challenging him. The eagle would endlessly repeat the cycle of challenging the scorpion, failing, then challenging him again, repeating the cycle endlessly. If he wasn't making use of him to search for the black crystal, he could kill the eagle any time.
Now that Chris's soul crystal had been found, there wasn't a need for him to keep the eagle beastman around.
At this thought, a murderous glint appeared in Saint Zachary's eyes as he stared at the eagle beastman.
Curtis was mildly surprised for a moment, but he didn't appreciate the kindness. Seeing that Saint Zachary had paused and was still attacking him, with no intention of cooperating with him at all.
Having reached this state, even with his eyes closed Saint Zachary could sense the actions of his opponent. With his eyes fixed upon the eagle beastman, he raised his scorpion tail and fended off the secret attack from the snake beastman.
The reason the other party had succeeded in sneaking an attack on him was because of Chris's soul crystal. The only thing on earth that could disrupt his nerves was her. Other than that, he had no other soft spots.
Muir, too, charged straight towards the giant scorpion without any disguise and pounded a fist on his opponent's face, letting out from his throat a howl even more ferocious than that of a wild beast.
His fist grazed past air, making a swift and fierce jungling sound amid the howling of the wind as he smashed into enemy territory.
Saint Zachary, who neither hid nor dodged when faced with the snake beastmen, speedily dodged from this fist. As the iron fist landed on the ground, it made a resounding loud bang.
Crushed rock pieces flew about, the ground cracked, and the area within a ten meters radius was enveloped in a ball of stirred-up dust.
With their visions blurred by the grey dust, Saint Zachary and Muir momentarily couldn't see each other clearly.
On the other hand, Curtis could use his tongue to determine the positions of living beings. He didn't stop for even a second and immediately went to bite at the giant scorpion with his mouth wide open.
However, he failed in his best chance of attacking. With a pair of feelers on his head, when the snake beastman reached certain proximity, his feelers would be able to capture the sound of the wind.
Instead of dodging, he pretended not to notice. Just as the snake's mouth edged closer to him, he suddenly curled up his scorpion's tail and went straight for the top of the snake beastman's head.
Curtis speedily left his original path, narrowly avoiding the venomous hook and also taking advantage of the opportunity to curl itself around the giant scorpion's body.
Failing to attack with his venomous fangs, he still had a most invincible tactic up his sleeve—that was, coiling his opponent with his snake body.
His softened body carried with it a terrifying strength. The moment it coiled around the opponent, it started squeezing with all its might.
The moment one found themselves in his coils, there wasn't any chance for survival.
Because his body was too close to that of the giant scorpion, it wasn't easy for the latter to aim at his opponent with his venomous hooks. Moreover, Curtis had—for the sake of his own safety—specifically coiled himself around the base of the scorpion's tail. Regardless of how agile the scorpion tail was, it couldn't possibly pierce at its own base.
But Saint Zachary was no ordinary beastman. Detecting the other party's intention at the first instant, he nimbly glided out as though lubricated with oil, barely allowing the scorpion tail to extract itself from the coils of the snake which were tightening at an incredible speed.
The pain on his shoulders had already turned numb. He shook his head, the world feeling warped according to his senses. He was obviously poisoned.
Before Saint Zachary could steady his footing, the eagle beastman ran towards him with his fists raised from the other side.


After finding herself in a beastmen world, a leopard rescues her and later abducts her. Bai Qingqing suffers quite a mental breakdown because the males in this world are as gorgeous and handsome as strutting peacocks. On the other hand, the females are ridiculously ugly, but still highly cherished by the males. 
As a beautiful high-school student, she has somehow become the most mesmerizing beauty in this world.
Worst of all, this world is a matriarchal society. She doesn’t want three four husbands waiting on her! Her life becomes about teasing a leopard, tickling a tiger, seducing a poisonous snake, and capturing an eagle. Bai Qingqing, with a full harem, is too deep for tears. She really didn't want any of this.
"Hey, hey, Brother Leopard, Brother Tiger, Brother Snake, Brother Eagle, what are you doing? Stay back!" 
There are four male leads: The young and strong leopard, the emo and silent snake, the powerful tiger, and the aloof and loner eagle.

Sarah:'' Damnnnn Joffrey surely is an asshole.'' She said while pointing her middle to finger towards the TV
Izuku:'' He is, he said: "Everyone is mine to torment!"… who can be such an idiot.''
During this time with Sarah apart from doing a rewatch of TWD and GOT, he trained his skills regarding medicine he also learned alchemy in all of his forms, yes also the one from FMA.
Suddenly in front of Izuku, a blue panel appeared.
[Learn all of the jutsus and destroy the otsutsuki clan]
Izuku:'' Sarah the second mission appeared.''
Sarah:'' Where are you going?''
Izuku:'' It seems like I am going to Naruto.''
Sarah:''Mhhhhh, there are useful things there, what's your mission?''
Izuku:'' Learning all the jutsu's and destroying  the otsutsuki clan.''
Sarah:'' The first part is easy, you just need to use your omnia gremori to learn all of them, the second one is a bit hard, the recordings say that the otsutsuki leader has the strength to destroy a solar system(High 4-B) and your instantaneous evolution won't help this time, his power comes mostly from his bloodline and techniques.''
Izuku:''Mhhhhhh I will find a way don't worry.''
Under Izuku's feet, just like last time, opened a black hole that sucked him in.
.
.
.
Izuku was floating in the sky watching what was happening under him.
A full-scale war was happening under him, ninja's were fighting to show off all of their skills.
Izuku:'Mhhh so I am on the Village hidden in the leaves, Gaara might have just gone berserk.'
Izuku then spread his senses to find the one that shouldn't die here.
Izuku:' Ok found him.'
Izuku then opened a gate towards a rooftop where 4 men were fighting.
.
.
.
On the rooftop, the men are divide into two sides.
On one side there is a very old man, his skin is lighter, his hair is grey, his face is gaunter, and he has the wrinkles and liver spots of old age, he is wearing the usual ninja uniform with a samurai helmet.
On the other side instead, there are 3 men.
One of them has very pale skin, golden eyes with slitted pupils, purple markings around his eyes, and fang-like teeth. He also has pronounced cheekbones and straight waist-length black hair with some locks covering and framing his face or to his shoulders.
The second one is a tall man with tanned skin and dark eyes. He has waist-length black hair typically styled in a center-parted fringe that framed his face. He is wearing the standard shinobi dress of his era, consisting of dark red armor worn over a simple black suit with sandals. This armor is constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body; each collar of his shoulder guards bore the Senju symbol.
The last one is a fair-skinned man with silver, shaggy hair and red-colored eyes. He has three red markings on his face, one under each of his eyes and one on his chin.  He is wearing blue armor with a distinctive white fur collar over a simple black suit. This armor is constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body. Beneath his shoulder armor, he is wearing two extra shoulder guards on each arm. This clothing is accompanied by sandals and a happuri in place of the more traditional forehead protector.
Suddenly between them, a strange orange-colored portal opened and a kid went out of it wearing(usual Izuku's clothes)
The 4 men were stunned because of the portal.
Izuku:'' Oh hello there, I am sorry if I interrupt you all but isn't this fight a bit unfair?''
Hashirama:'' The kid is right.''
Orochimaru then looked towards the first Hokage and then towards Izuku, he stared at Izuku just for a second, he then looked towards the Third Hokage while throwing a snake towards Izuku.
Orochimaru:''Well well well Sarutobi it seems like this-.'' Before he could end he felt a treat coming from the direction of Izuku.
Izuku could be seen pet the snake that was positioned on his neck, the snake had his eyes closed, loving the touch of Izuku.
Izuku:''Tsk Tsk Tsk you shouldn't trow animals like that or someone could get hurt.''
Izuku disappeared and reappeared near the third Hokage positioning a hand on his shoulders to heal him.
Orochimaru was stunned, he couldn't see the kid move, but something felt strange his eyes were seeing more than what he should.
*PlopX2
Both halves of Orochimaru's body were on the ground slowly becoming snakes.
Tobirama:'' Why aren't we disappearing?''
When the summoner was too far the summonings were supposed to dispel or disappear(stronger the summon nearest has to be the summoner).
Izuku:'' Oh that's my fault.''
Izuku while moving towards Sarutobi gave both the Hokages enough energy to live for a minute now the only things that made them look like summons were their eyes and cracks on their body.
Izuku then teleported towards them and positioned his hands on his bodies.
Both the Kages felt strange energy coursing through them.
While coming here all the knowledge inside the Omnia gremori went inside his mind also the perfected Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, the book had also created a way that instead of chakra used mana and some of his sorcery so Izuku was able to use it easily and reincarnate both the Hokages.
All of the presents were stunned.
Izuku had just defeated a Sannin easily and had made two hokages came back to life.
Suddenly from Izuku's stomach, a sound could be heard
*Grooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl
Izuku:''Sooooo… Can we go eating some ramen?''

Izuku Midoriya after his usual beating by Kacchan came home only to receive another scolding from his mother because he brought dirt inside the house so he was thrown out, it was just an excuse to see her lover, trying to find a place to pass the night he met an old man who asked a weird question but it was that question that changed everything
