Chapter 127: Battle between the beasts

'What the hell? Do I have to become a slave to the fire ghoul? It's never going to happen,' 

When Henrick heard the mutated fire ghoul's words, he was shocked and silently thought in his head.

In this world any cultivator with some power could make others as their slaves as long as the other party agrees; however, if the other party didn't allow the cultivators to put their spirit imprint in their mental sea, then no matter how strong a cultivator was, he could do nothing other than killing them.

Nevertheless, if a cultivator was very powerful and had some special set of skills, he could make other cultivators as his slaves.

"You don't have time. Just say whether you agree with it or not," When Henrick remained silent for a few moments, the mutated fire ghoul asked Henrick once again baring its sharp teeth at him.

"Even if I die today, I will not allow a hideous beast to put your sprint imprint in my mental sea," Henrick scoffed at the mutated fire ghoul without any fear on his face.

'So be it. If I die today, I will die; however, if I become its slave, then there is no meaning for me to cultivate,' After finishing his words, Henrick silently thought in his head.

"Haha...I know you will not agree to my condition that easily. So, I have already thought of something which will make you agree to my condition,"

Even after hearing Henrick's reply, the mutated fire ghoul was not surprised much and it laughingly replied to Henrick.

"Huh? What are you planning to do?"

Henrick raised his brows as he asked the mutated fire ghoul while trying to move away from his place; however, his leg was currently being stuck in the rocks which didn't allow him to move.

"Don't worry. I will cut your hand and legs one by one until you agree to my condition," The mutated fire ghoul was not in any hurry because Henrick didn't have anywhere to go. So, it slowly moved towards him while replied to his earlier question.

"Huh? Removing hands and legs? Why? You will have no use with me being handicapped," Henrick tried to reason with it as he continued, "Instead of being your slave, I will help you with one thing if you leave me now."

"Haha... if you become my slave, I will have more benefits. Moreover, I want you as my slave for one sole reason because you can understand my words," The mutated fire ghoul didn't bother much with Henrick's words as he wanted to painfully make Henrick agree to his condition.

'What the hell? It wants to use me as a translator,' Henrick clenched his fists with that thought.

"I will start my enjoyment with your right hand," while saying that, the mutated fire ghoul extended its left hand to hold Henrick's right hand and with its right hand, it wanted to cut Henrick's right hand.

"Spark, wake up,"

The one thing he could rely on at a time like this was the baby fire monkey as he shouted at the fire monkey.

"Haha...it will not wake up anytime soon. Don't worry, as long as I make you my slave, your tamed beast will do nothing to me," the mutated fire ghoul mocked Henrick and looked at its right hand.

As soon as its gaze fell on its right hand, the huge sharp nail grew even bigger and all five nails came together before forming into a long blade.

"Say goodbye to your right hand," the mutated fire ghoul didn't waste any more time as it slashed the blade at Henrick's shoulder.

"Goodbye to your right hand,"

However, even with the incoming slash, Henrick didn't have any fear as he replied to the mutated fire ghoul with a mocking look on his face.

"Huh?"

Seeing the mocking look on Henrick's face, the mutated fire ghoul felt something was not right and hurriedly turned its head to see the fire monkey.

However, the huge fire monkey was not there.

'Swoosh'

'Kacha'

'Aargh'

Before the mutated fire ghoul could think what was happening, a huge silhouette appeared beside it and broke the blade from its right hand which made it groan in pain.

'Roar'

While it was groaning in pain, the mutated fire ghoul got to look at the one, who detached the blade from its right hand.

It was none other than the baby fire monkey in its celestial form. Moreover, after using the blood refining technique to absorb the blood of all the fire ghouls' dead bodies, the white hair on its body had a slight red lustre.

'How did it become this much stronger all of a sudden,'

The mutated fire ghoul didn't understand how this fire monkey would before so much stronger in a couple of hours.

When the baby fire monkey used the blood refining technique, the nutated fire ghoul was also cultivating with the help of Henrick's 'Ancient fire surge'. So, it didn't know about the fire monkey's actions.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master's tamed beast for successfully reaching the rank 3.

'Ding,

Tamed beast's bloodline 'Celestial monkey king' is purified by 5 percent.

'Ding,

Awakened a new bloodline skill.

'Ding,

'Ding,

All of a sudden, Henrick received many system notifications, however, except for the first one, he didn't bother about the other system notifications.

'Spark'

Henrick was so excited after seeing the first system notification that made him excitedly shout the baby fire monkey's name.

'Master,'

The huge fire monkey also replied to Henrick before removing the rocks from Henrick's leg.

'Roarr'

'I will kill you,'

With its right hand being slashed by the fire monkey, the mutated fire ghoul became so angry that it didn't even bother about the pain or its right hand which was twitching on the ground before running at the fire monkey.

'Slash'

'Slash'

'Aargh'

Since the mutated fire ghoul was still in its transformed form, it was very fast and it was able to make many cuts on the fire monkey's body.

'Oh no,'

Henrick became worried as he still didn't know how powerful the transformed mutated fire ghoul and at the same time, he also didn't have a clue about his tamed beast's strength.

'Spark, be careful. It is much faster than normal rank 3 beasts,' Even though Henrick had never seen a rank 3 beast before, it was a simple thing to say as the mutated beasts were always much more powerful than the normal beasts.

'Since Spark is also a mutated beast, it should be able to defeat it, right?' Henrick hoped that the baby fire monkey would defeat the mutated fire ghoul. So, that they could leave the cave.

'Roar'

'Roar'

Soon, both the beasts started fighting without any delay.

However, Henrick's worry was for nothing as the fire monkey was easily about to stop the mutated fire ghoul's attacks.

'Phew...finally, the situation is in control,' Henrick heaved a sigh of relief and moved some distance away from the fight between the two beasts.

'I should check what the system notifications that came after Spark's breakthrough notifications,' Henrick decided to check the system notifications as the situation was fully under control.

'System, show me the notifications other than the notifications regarding the baby fire monkey,' Henrick silently asked the system in his mind while observing the battle between the beasts.

'This fire ghoul is very tenacious and tough,'

No matter how much the fire monkey attacked, the mutated fire ghoul continued to receive them and was still standing. Seeing that, Henrick concluded the mutated fire ghoul as a tenacious one.

'Spark, finish it soon. We don't what this fire ghoul might do at the end of its life,'

Henrick warned the fire monkey to finish the battle soon because a beast at the end of its life would do anything to bring its enemy down with it.

After giving a warning to the baby fire monkey, Henrick focused on the system notifications in front of him.

'Ding,

Master has successfully circulated the pure internal fire energy in his body and refined all the muscles by one time.

'Ding,

Congratulations master for completing one of the daily missions. 

'Ding,

Complete the other two daily missions to get rewards.

Soon, his vision was filled with three system notifications which gave him a pleasant surprise. He didn't waste any time and hurriedly checked today's daily missions.
