[High B-Rank Danger Threat Dark Beast] (Part 2)

'I should have jumped out of the bus way' Vincent thought in slight regret

Then he examined his body and noticed that it was unaffected by the attack, ''Fire resistance works.'' -As his inspection came to an end, he noticed a scratch on his arms, ''A scratch, how did that happen?''

[Despite the fact that you are to a great extent impervious to Fire attacks, Fire fashioned into sharp forms still affect you.]

'It does? Why?' He asked.

[To better explain, imagine that the fire element was shaped into a sword and used to attack you. You'll receive no damage from the Fire itself. But It's a sword, the sharpness would still cut through.]

[In essence, you'll take physical damage from the sword in place of physical infused with fire damage from the element]

Vincent understood the vulnerability of his resistance skill and replied seriously, ''I should be more careful then''

[You should.]

Vincent put an end to the discussion and gave attention to the [Dark Beast], His mind clearer this time than when he was a minute ago focused on escape, as a result he was able to observe the features of the Dark Beast well

The Dark beast was a large, unique creature. It had a purple skeletal head, two forest green compound eyes, and slitted nostrils with no visible ears. The beast had a wide neck and two large arms. Its arms were covered in silky brown hair while the rest of the [Dark Beast] was covered in scales.

The Dark Beast roared at Vincent at the same time summoned 7 flame arrows out of thin air. The [Dark Beast] roared again to fire it off to him.

Vincent knit his brow in annoyance as he shot off across the distance to get around the flame arrows.

One flew straight to his head; However, he was able to evade as well as grab the arrow out of the air, shape it into a spear with his [Authority of Fire] skill and wield it to his side

After that, he sped up greater than before through more arrows dodging each with various acrobatic moves or simple sidesteps, the [Dark Beast] seeing Vincent dodge its attacks made a decision to also dash at him with great speeds.

Vincent and the [Dark Beast] met mid-way, claw against a spear of flames. They continually came to blows with each other; Vincent had the advantage considering that titan muscles weren't for joke

In the course of one of their clashes, Vincent was able to land a kick that hard-pressed the Dark Beast back which gives rise to an opportunity he took without delay. He kept up the Attack by shooting the spear he held at the beast after fueling it with tons of Ether.

As the spear hit, an explosion followed after

A few moments of inactivity went by and Vincent later let out a breath of relief at the thought of the beast dead ''I expected it to be stronger, I guess the system underestimated the [Dark Beast]'' He jabbed at the system

[No, I didn't]

''Then~''

[When a Dark Beast reaches S-Rank, they get an Ability called [Rage Mode] similar to the Migas [Beast Mode], During this form, their strength multiplies.]

[Most Dark Beast don’t tend to use or are killed before they use.]

[However, that can’t be said for a Lost One. When a Lost One enters into its Rage Mode, not only their strength, Agility and Endurance multiplies but also their Innate ability is boosted and may even evolve]

''Wait so its not dead” Vincent realized

[It’s not dead.]

Acknowledging the system, Vincent set his sights on the Blazing inferno Infront of him. Bit by Bit, A silhouette could be seen

Soon after, the [Dark Beast] walked out of the inferno unharmed but different. Now it stood on its four feet and was covered in a malicious aura.

[Status]

[Name: Arnaf Shadowgaze

Race: Danger Beast/Nightmare/Lost One

Danger Threat: Middle S-Rank

Description: The Beast was once a man, who had the Innate Ability of Fire arrows. When at death's step from an encounter with a Dark Beast, to survive his soul got corrupted. Hence now a Dark Beast/lost One.

Note Innate Ability Evolved from [Flame Arrows] in [Fire Manipulation (S-Rank)]]

Without warning, the [Dark Beast] shot off and was right before Vincent in the twinkle of an eye, its claw before now slashing towards his prey.

Vincent's reflexes kicked in and he jumped back on an impulse, nevertheless he wasn't fast enough to fully escape the claws of the [Dark Beast] which proceeded to tear through the first layer his skin.

Vincent touched down a few meters away from the beast, He looked at the flow of blood that dripped down chest and hissed in pain as his finger grazed the wound. ''I let my guard down there.'' His eyes came back to the Beast and watched in vigilance, ''If my reflexes were a little bit slower, you would have torn through me.”

“You'll regret this.” He growled.

''[Authority of Lightning: Thundra Possession, First Strike]''

From the clear skies, A single bolt of lightning struck Vincent. A large blast followed after with the rise of a dust cloud that went on to blur Vincent's figure. When the cloud of dust cleared to an extent Vincent could be seen. However, the yellow lightning that struck from the sky now surrounded him

'Devouring those Titans was my best decision ever.’ He thought as he felt the great strength coursing through his veins

[Authority of Lightning; Thundra Possession: Thundra Possession is an attack created by the Ancestor of the Planar Giant of Traversing Lightning. The user of this technique wraps their body with the raw energy of lightning from a summoned lightning bolt to increase their attack, speed, and defense.

With more lightning energy gathered, a greater increase in physical parameters comes until it reaches a point where it can no more than increase if lightning energy is gathered from Heavenly Tribulation Lightning or Lightning from the Z-O-L (Zone of Lightning)]

[Authority of Lightning; Thundra Possession, First Strike: The first part of the Thundra Possession technique series. The practitioner uses the raw energy from a strike of lightning to boost his physical parameters.]

This is the main ability Vincent picked up when he devoured the soul of the Lightning Planar Giant, the memories and experience of this skill was also absorbed with it. Due to this Vincent is able to adjust himself to this technique and could be said to be proficient in using it as the Lighting Planar Giant had once used it.

'I wonder what other techniques I would get from devouring the other titans!?' Vincent's smile widened with that thought.

[Not to interrupt your power orgasm but you do know that there is a dangerous dark beast in front of you, right?]

“Oh yeah!”

Remembering that there was a [Dark Beast], Vincent refocused his sights onto it.

There was a silent agreement between the two fighters, both taking this chance to size up the other. Fed up with the useless wait, the [Dark Beast] took off the bout with a blast of flame from its mouth.

Vincent responded by dashing through the flames unharmed and attacked the [Dark Beast] with a Lightning enhanced punch to the head but he severely underestimated the [Dark Beast] new mode.

Miraculously, the [Dark Beast] bent down to dodge the attack however couldn't fully succeed, Hence, the punch by a hair’s breadth missed the head but managed the chip of a part of it.

The [Dark Beast] rolled out of the way in retreat, its head injury opened up more as it tried to escape.

The moment Vincent reset his stance, He dashed again towards the beast again but this time the beast didn't back down and attacked back with equal momentum.

The clash between rage mode beast and Thundra possession Vincent was in Vincent's favor. Nonetheless, the Beast still managed to evade some of Vincent's dangerous hits. After another clash with no one winning they separated and stared at each other.

Vincent let out a sigh in exasperation, ''This is taking too much time, if one lightning is not enough, What about two.”
