56 Chameleon Porcupine (1/2)

'Lucas Ranger is dead.' Nero sighed in his mind.

'Well, it's not like he even existed in the first place.' Nova went along, speaking in a saddened tone.

'No corpse for the Assembly, all they'll find is a sad and lonely ring. Anyway, we're close to the beast now, might as well use mana now.'

The fake alias Nero had registered by would now be pronounced as dead: the ring had lost connection to its host for a long time.

With great agility, Nero hopped from one branch to another, slowing down as he felt his mana sense tingle. Ahead of him, likewise on a tree branch, was a thick-furred green beast whose fur quickly began to take colour and shape similar to the of the branch it crept on.

The round long eyes were the only give away of its stealth.

'Well obviously, it can detect others as I detected it, it wouldn't have suddenly hidden unless it knew I was coming towards it. Its fur is really quite interesting, I bet its worth a ton.'

Nero quickly devised a way to kill the monkey without damaging its fur, he knew it was a Rank 2 beast and would not be able to counter Adept mana.

After moving in closer, instead of continuing in the same direction, he curved around the location of the beast and circled back to the point he started all the while leaving behind a trace of his aura. It wasn't completely undetectable by the creature but it chose to underestimate its prey, continuing to hide in sight.

Then, with explosive mental power, Nero relayed a signal to the refined Adept mana left around the furry.

Mana Domino! Because of Nero's intent, To Dominate, he could, with relative control, affect unrefined mana in the surroundings the way he wanted. Now, all of his mana started to clump unrefined mana in its core form together, acting as a condenser that formed more Adept, but unrefined, mana. The complete formation was a ring which began to collapse into itself with great speed.

It cut straight through the branches and trees in its way all while decreasing in size, sadly for the furry who was the middle point of the ring.

Just as the sharp ring converged completely and the furred monster tried to take off of the branch, the ring reshaped itself and formed a large collar-like shape around the body of the furred creature who was mid-process into taking off, leaving it without balance.

The fur of the falling beast greatly changed its colour as the collar around it continued to collapse, causing internal organs an inevitable demise.

The previously green fur had now turned to a glowing blood red, exuding a sense of pressure onto the unrefined mana ring, however sadly unable to counter it.

The fur had remained undamaged but the insides of the beast were a carnal mess of blood and gore, beastly blood sprayed out from the previously clear golden eyes.

In a sense, it was a clean kill. Only a little blood escaped from the body and the outside was completely intact. As soon as Nero felt the pressure from the beast evaporate, he immediately ordered for the Adept mana to be dispersed.

The Coil-shaped unrefined mana also dispersed seeing as it now had no container around it, leaving behind a 3 feet tall, porcupine-like creature with extraordinary claw-shaped hooks as limbs (which were now unfortunately crushed) and fur that quickly grew white with the dispersing of mana.

'How do I obtain the fur? Nova, skin it for me.'

'Acknowledged.'
