BATTLE CRY'S

Chap 49: Black-Haired Girl 2

Andros followed the vein forward and Vein gave him the sleeping baby, Andros carried him with a big question mark. What baby is this?, he thought.

Veins sat in front of the furnace and lit the fire using the flint just like Andros did first.

"You're good at it?" Andros sat down beside Vein.

"I've been here two years not just sitting idle" Vena blew her fire away from dying and threw some wood.

"So this little one..."

"He's your teacher's son"

Andros frowned and then revealed the child's bangs. Spirit Beasts if turned into human forms would not be like Demonic Beasts that would leave some body parts like horns or tails.

"So..what happened to your hair and lips? As I recall you said it was green because of the side effects of poison science that can't be eliminated."

"I managed to get rid of the remaining toxins in my body and they returned to their original color"

"Oh, I don't think you want to practice anymore."

"Because there's nothing I can do I found a high-level Poison Science Book in the library and studied it."

"Hm, so so..."

Eventually they spent the night exchanging stories under the stars like they used to.

Andros recounted the strenuous training given by Weiss while Vena listened carefully, and then Vena recounted her encounter with several Spirit Beasts in this forest with Weiss' wife, even those Beast spirits gave him pointers to poison science as well as passed down some great knowledge to him.

It made the ability of Vein to develop rapidly, the science of Venous poison is very high thanks to the book that he found it and reached the Gold Mage stage because of the magic plant he consumed.

"Have you reached that stage?!"

Andros now understood how important resources were to a Magician. If it has enough resources and a lot it is not impossible to form a lot of Wizard troops.

"Oh yeah, by the way, where's that little cat?. It was not visible from then on."

"Oh, he's on.." Vena hasn't finished saying something gray-black with a flash of light across the night sky.

"Ah, that's it!" Vein pointed at something. Andros' eyes widened.

The creature was a cat-sized adult tiger black and two-tailed, on his four ankles there was a blaze of gold fire that was the same color of his eyes that lit up. The cat had two tails waving in the air.

The cat landed in front of the Vein and smoothed its head against the body of the Vein, appearing to be spoiled.

"How big is this little cat?, you're sure it's not a tiger or a lion?"

Vea nodded, then the cat meowed at Andros.

"Miaw!"

"Well, that's amazing. Really cats"

"This Rin thought his strength was already on par with an early stage Silver Mage" Vein stroked the cat's head.

Spirit Beasts as well as Demonic Beasts could increase strength faster and stronger than humans at the same stage. Moreover, with the intake of Magic Herbs from this dimension, its development was extremely fast.

The next day Andros underwent a deep power purification exercise in the vacuum aisle inside the library where they had entered.

Andros broke out in cold sweat because so thin the air that was here, his veins enlarged his lungs deflated.

For days inside the passageway, he slowly began to get used to the thinness of the air and it made the deep power that his body produced more and more pure.

He did that for six whole months without exiting the passageway, and Weiss would provide him with resources that would become Andros's food at regular intervals.In that vacuum passageway for some time, Andros began to feel if there was a unique air seeping out of the walls of the hallway.

Andros stopped his meditation it was time he came out and continued in the next stage of training. He stood flexing his body, it had been six months and he had to go out to do another exercise.I felt the effect of meditation in this hallway that now he could produce a very pure inner energy, which is very pure, in his dreams did not cross his mind to reach this level.

Although his inner power still amounted to thirty-four, but the quality was much different.

Andros who was curious stepped closer to the wall of the hall, if seen in detail the walls of this hallway made of black crystal irregular surface. He touched the wall with his hand, as cold as ice. Andros closed his eyes, he felt that there was something strange about this crystal.

'huh, what is this?. this aura is very gripping' he said in his heart.

The longer Andros touched him, the more Andros let out a cold sweat, worry began to spring into his mind for no reason. Then suddenly he was scared and his knees shook and Andros immediately took off his touch and fell down.

His heart skipped a beat, while cold sweat poured down his temple. He still felt his knees did not stop shaking.

'what's that aura? It was terrifying' Andros swallowed his saliva.

---

After exiting, Andros found that there was no one in this large room. Andros entered the room but there was no sign of a vein.

Andros came out of the library and sunlight greeted his eyes. He inhaled a deep breath until the air that was five meters away from him vanished for a second.

Andros let out a sigh and white smoke came out from his nose.

"This Dragon's Breath is incredible"

Andros walked down to the bottom, there are many flowers of diverse colors growing lushly. In the middle of the flowerbed was a large black cat lying on the sun while lazing.

Andros approached the two-tailed cat. Rin, who noticed Andros' presence, immediately stretched out to reveal his stomach.

"Oh you want me to scratch your stomach? Alright"

Andros rubbed Rin's stomach gently until the cat let out a moaning sound that indicates if he likes to rub his stomach.

"Prrrr"

Then Andros heard someone's footsteps from the forest, Andros turned his gaze and found that Vena was walking with his Aunt Master who was holding a baby for a while.

"Looks like you?" Elian, Weiss' wife.

Andros saluted his teacher's aunt before raising his head back.

"Yes, but he's a lazy cat. All he had done since then was sleep" after saying so. A tail patted his neck hard.

"Aw, that's not good. Bad cat" grumbled Andros.

"Miaw!" Rin turned to look back at Andros.

this ungrateful cat, after his stomach rubbed Andros in campakan just like that.

"Haha, you are there" Vena laughed and approached Rin, Rin who realized that Vein was rising and stroking her head on Vein's body.

"Yes yes, this is your food" Vein stroked Rin's head and took something from the skin sac that was on her waist.

Veins take a piece of fresh fish meat that looks bigger than the bag. Andros' eyes widened again.
