Chapter 286 - Back to Ray (2/2)

Just then though, while Ray was deciding on how to find the others, a larger Dog had emerged from the forest. The sound of its heavy paws could be heard and felt through the ground.

looking similar to the others before, but this one was the same size as a house.

The beast looked at its dead comrades around it and howled into the sky. Several large tentacles then sprouted from the beast's head.

While others would be stood in fear at such a great beast, Ray instead smiled with excitement. It looked like he had found another advance tier beast.

Ray immediately placed his hand on the ground.

”It's been a long time friend, now come out, Noir!”

Just then, a large portal appeared just above Ray's hand and out came a large black-furred wolf with a horn on the front of his head, only this time Noir also had new beast gear equipment. On each of her paws, they were covered with sharp metallic claws laced with poison.

The beast was slightly larger than Noir for its muscle mass but Ray was interested in how Noir would fair.

The dog fired out its tentacles towards Noir, but she was too fast, jumping backwards avoiding the strikes, then before the tentacles could retreat back, she swiped at them with her claw. As the claws touched the tentacles a big cut could be seen and a green liquid surrounding it.

”That must be the scorpion's poison?” Ray thought.

Noir was at the similar level to the advanced beast, she had evolved the first time from a wolf, into a black horned wolf, and now evolved into a larger wolf that was able to equip beast gear. Even if the shadow plague increased the strength of an advanced tier beast to a king tier, Noir had beast gear which helped close the gap and it was looking like it did more than that.

The dog beast was learning and decided it should no longer use its tentacles, it then rushed forward and so did Noir. If the two were to collide, Ray, was afraid the beast would out power Noir, but before the two did, Noir shifted to the side and immediately got behind the beast.

It was amazing how fast she was even though she was large, she then struck with her metallic claws twice at the beast and tried biting the thing. However, when she went to bite the beast, her teeth and jaw were not strong enough to penetrate the beasts hide, but her claws still were.

She continued to attack the beast with the metallic claws, although the attack's weren't deep, it seemed to be having more of an effect then it should.

The only thing Ray could guess was, it was from the poison in the claws. It would take some time to react but it was finally working. Eventually, the beast was moving so slow even Noir had stopped attacking and looked to Ray for another command.

Ray stood there watching the beast and eventually it had stopped moving altogether.

”Maybe this place isn't so bad after all.”

It was time for some grinding.
