Chapter 16: The illusion (1/2)

Ed disregarded the weapons he got. He was satisfied with the rest. He crushed the skill cards he got and asked the system about the map.

[The Map is another component of the Game interface; it should allow you to check on your allies, enemies and neutral characters within a radius of 20 km]

Ed understood what the system meant; he did play games before that used maps. After crushing the Map card, he was wondering if he should use the Upgrade cards or keep them for another time.

'It's better to get stronger faster so I'll use them!' Ed made up his mind and used one Upgrade card on his Wind blade ability.

Wind blade evolved into Wind magic.

Ed was pretty happy that he got another type of magic that easily.

”Raikou would you like to get stronger again?!” Ed planned on using the 2 Upgrade cards on Raikou. He thought about evolving his Two-sword Style but he remembered he only had 2 swords. He would level it up when he got a good sword, at least as good as the ones he has now.

”Woof!” Raikou was enthusiastic about leveling up. He knew this world was one where the strong ruled.

Ed crushed the two Upgrade cards and used them on Raikou. This time instead of light, a Shadowy sphere surrounded Raikou, Ed used his Sharingan and saw that his companion's Qi kept growing at a huge rate. It was even greater than the Bear they fought last time.

Ed was afraid that such Qi would attract the attention of someone so he turned around and looked towards the door. He noticed Becky's Qi was moving, It seems Raikou's transformation affected her as well but she didn't move, she still had her duties above all else.

A minute later the shadowy sphere disappeared and Raikou came out. He was a lot bigger than before; he was now almost 2 meters tall. His fur was even darker and looked like it glistening with patches of purple fur giving him a dangerous look.

Ed scanned him and was stunned at the result.

Name: Raikou (Shadow wolf).

Cultivation: King establishment (Level 1).

Description: A wolf heard of only in legends.

Raikou was now a legendary wolf. His transformation alone pushed him to a greater height than before.

”How about some training Raikou?!” Ed was excited at his partner getting stronger.

”Woof!” Raikou nodded in agreement and they both headed out towards the training area.

They both got ready to spar, Ed grabbed two wooden swords while Raikou and running and jumping around like he was warming up.

Ed activated his Sharingan and rushed to where Raikou was. Raikou then used his signature speed and easily dodged him. Ed then felt someone coming from his side and automatically swung his sword.

He had hit a fireball Raikou threw at him. 'My body moved on its own. This must be the Seikken's effect' Ed backed away and clad his swords in Wind blade. The skill hadn't disappeared even though he had evolved it.
