Leon thought of the techniques Blood Sparrows learned naturally. They were: blood wings, blood control and blood absorb.
None of the skills were bad, just mundane. Almost every Blood Beast had Blood control and Blood Absorb.
As he was thinking of how to train the Blood Bird a cry came from the heavens.
"HELP!"
"I don't want to die! Somebody HELP!"
Leon hearing the shout looked at his beast and said "Let's vote. Who thinks we should save this person?"
The tiger and it's snake tail went forward nodding. They said that we should save this person.
The snake on Leon's head sent through Soul Vibrations that it didn't care. The Blood Sparrow just looked Leon dumbly.
"I guess we're saving then."
Leon jumped on to the tree and continued jumping to the next one until he arrived to where the scream originated. He saw a girl holding an axe with a dead blood bat in front of her.
There was a 5 meter long red tiger with its mouth open about to eat the girl.
That Blood tiger was a nine redstar Soul beast, barely acceptable.
"Use Frost Ray on the tiger."
The tiger surprised but dodged the Frost Ray. It turned to see Leon standing on the tree with the snake on his head, the tiger snake next to him and the Bird sitting on the other side of him.
The girl also saw him. She thought she was saved but seeing a young boy with a bunch of baby beast she lost all hope.
"You run, what are you doing with such young beast, trying to fight this tiger go back..."
Leon took out his Fire Sealing chain and threw it as he jumped off the tree. The tiger dodged to the side. As it did this the Frost snake shot a Frost Ray to where it landed. It froze. As it tried to break out Leon pulled the chain and the chain curved and went back to tie around the tiger.
Leon then had the Blood Sparrow attack. He wanted to see what it could do. The Blood Sparrow flew swiftly above the tiger and landed on it's head. It then started to peck its head. Leon face palmed.
He took out the throwing knives and needed the battle by having them pierce into the tigers eyes. Reaching its brain.
The girl just stood their watching all of this. She fell down to her knees in relief.
Leon ignores her and went up to the tiger. He took out a bottle and filled it with its blood. He filled as many as he could he then looked for a core. Which he found.
"Wow, a runic core in a redstar beast, today must be my lucky day. I'll be able to make some money off of this."
Leon kept everything in his spatial ring. He then cut off some meat and kept that.
Leon finished all his task with swift elegance. Before the girl could even react he had turned back and was leaving.
The girl stood up seeing this and called out "who are you? Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
Leon looked at her, ignoring her hourglass like figure, she short had black hair till her shoulders and insidious red eyes. She wore a tight black full body suit outlining her curves under the now broken low spirit armor.
The axe she held was of mid spirit grade and looking at the dead Blood Bat, It was a Variation beast called the Four Winged Blood Bat. Leon could tell it was something she had bought recently considering how she didn't care about it as much. Leon couldn't tell her cultivation level but guessed it was around level seven summoning apprentice level.
'She probably doesn't have your average background'.
He said "My name is Leon, as for what you can do to repay me" he stared at the girl, head to toe not hiding his intentions in his gaze. The girl moved hands and covered her chest and her face turned a slight red.
"You can give me the blood cultivation art you're cultivating."
"What!?"
"The cultivation art, if you want to repay me, you can give it to me."
"My cultivation art! You really are taking advantage of the situation, I thought you were good person, looks you aren't." she stoped and took out a book from her spatial ring and threw it at Leon.
"Well fine here's the cultivation art you did save me if you need any more help come to the blood moon auction house."
Leon caught the book and turned back and walked away. He looked at the book as he walked. This should be the half step earth rank art Blood Orbs Control art. He jumped onto the tree and disappeared.
Behind him the women also left as she was walking, she heard shouts, "Miss Bella, Miss Bella." she hurriedly walks towards the shouts.
"Yes uncle what do you need." The man's face brightened as he ran up to the lady. "Miss you have been gone for too long so I came looking for you, in case anything happen."
"Well I may look fine, but I almost just died and my contracted beast is dead, let's not forget my soul will be weak for the next month. Luckily some white haired boy saved me, but to bad he didn't have any good intentions, he was only after my elemental art."
The man's face turned from worry to shock then to anger. "How dare someone take advantage of you, he should be grateful to even being given the chance to save you, should I go and drag him here, to make him beg for forgiveness."
"No, it is fine as he did save me, let's go, but do find out more about him. That boy can't be so simple. The aura around him was cold. I felt like the temperature in the area dropped because of him. Also white hair and grey eyes, that is something usually seen in the ice continent. I want you to find out who that man was, he said his name was Leon it was probably a alias.
The man agreed with her conclusion and the summons a ten meter long black panther. They both jump on it and disappear in to the woods. Behind them a Five pairs of eyes appeared.
Leon was hiding in a tree using formless aura on himself and all his beast.
"Good she wasn't fool who got revenge over such petty things, she remembered a dept."
Leon now left he was happy he got the new art. He had almost finished cultivating the three levels if Mystic Ice art. He would be soon be needing one.
The Blood Orbs art, as a half Step earth rank art, it formed quite the strong rune. The rune was that of Blood Orbs. At the peak the art would form five orbs that would constantly float around and follow the holder of the rune. They could be easily transformed and allowed the use of skills faster. Also increasing the strength of the ability used.
Leon ran around for a while until he found a cave. It was empty. He sat down and started cultivating the Mystic Ice art. He wanted to reach as high as he could in that art. He made the tiger snake and Frost Snake sit next to him as he cultivated.
He drank some Ice crystal liquid and ate some NetherWorld ice. He had already gone through half of his supply of NetherWorld ice. As for the Ice crystal liquid he had most of it remaining.
After a day of cultivating Leon broke through. He reached level eight summoning apprentice. He also reached completion of the third level.
Leon thought of using the comprehension from his last life to form a rune but gave up remembering the Tiger. The Tiger seeing Leon's face grew angry. It was the same face Leon had made before he formed the Eternal Sleep Rune.
The tail snake also hissed feeling the tigers pain. It then learned of this surprising event from the tiger. They both looked at each other and were communicating through thoughts. As they didn't share memories the tiger had to explain the situation to the snake.
The Frost snake looked at Leon and formed a ball of ice. The ball had regular ice on the outside but had most of the inside ice as purple.
Leon was thrilled. "You're almost done. I wanted you to finish it by yourself but seeing that you're so close I'll help you on comprehending it. No need to waste anymore time."
Leon and the snake talked on the comprehension of ice. Leon kept on feeding the Frost snake the NetherWorld Ice. He also gave it a few Ice crystal liquid he stopped being stingy about it.
The tiger was done explaining to the Tail snake the situation. The tail snake freaked out. It started moving around everywhere. It wanted to break away.
The tiger told the snake what Leon told it. The tail snake looked back at the tiger like it was looking at an idiot. It said, You know you will just go to Sleep forever right, LIKE death!l not actually death. Leon won't be affected by it at all, he was tricking you.
The tiger freaked out. It looked at Leon who was looking at it guilty back as he could also here the conversation. The Frost snake continued to cultivate.
The tiger tackled Leon and roared. Tell me you didn't lie to me.
"Well you see you were really tense at the time I had to clan you down."
How could you do this it said through roars.
"Looks it doesn't matter anymore you evolved so we know the method in saving you is a hundred percent successful. I already have the dream beast located before you know it you'll be saved."
The tiger had tears come down its eyes. Leon pulled it into a hug.
"Look your my favourite beast." He then made eye contact with the Frost snake which was looking his way, they spoke through their eyes. The Frost snake was understanding and it continued to cultivate. The Blood Sparrow was just sitting on the ground comfortably not understanding anything.
"There is a reason I created a Blood Oath with you. I wanted us to be connected. Although I won't die you won't either. Look the curse I told you about the Eternal Sleep Clan. Well it's not really a curse it was their inherent ability. They were able to control this Eternal Sleep rune and live forever. Well while they slept that is. When you sleep you won't age or need food. You'll be in a state of stagnation until you wake up. They slept through millennium. That is only one of the functions, the other is putting enemies to sleep." The tiger listened to Leon with a blank face.
"There are legends that the clan head of the Eternal Sleep Clan had a powerful technique that put everyone around him to sleep. It probably used the Eternal Sleep rune. Look I didn't want to tell you this as it would make you too excited." Leon Said with a smug smile.
The tiger and tail snake both scorned at Leon. Do we look excited? Do you think we believe you after all of this? Tell us where the dream beast is.
"You'll have to wait a few days. It'll come soon. You don't need to get so worked up about it. Have I ever let you down?"
They looked at Leon, didn't you just do that.
"No, I just hid the fact that We were not on the same boat. That was to make you feel better. You would Have killed yourself. Look I evolved you once I'll evolve you again. Even if we never find the dream beast if I evolve you enough times you'll be able to crush the rune in your hand. "
The tiger looked at Leon and then looked back at the snake. They quickly discussed and came to a conclusion. They'll trust Leon but he has to make sure to never lie to them again.
Leon sighed in relief. He held his hand to his heart and swore to never lie again to them. He then went back to cultivating with the Frost snake.
He though about and decided to form the Rune. He could always cultivate the art again and form another.
People wouldn't normally cultivate that same art multiple times. Although easier to do the cultivation the second time it is not as useful as having a variety. With millions of arts no one bothered to cultivate the same technique twice. They could find something better.
Leon was the exception as he cultivated at extreme speeds. Ten years of cultivation for the normal summoner was a day for Leon.
Leon thought of the Ice techniques he had. All of them much weaker then the fire arts he knew. He decided mixing arts was not the way to go. He didn't want the disaster to happen again.
He found a good art. It was a low grade earth rank art- Frost sealing art. It was the Ice art he practiced the most although he could still only remember fragments it was enough to form a rune.
He spoke to the Frost Sanke through soul vibrations. He concentrated and formed a circle with his hand. It formed A light blue circle Leon put his and in the middle and closed his hand into a fist. He took out all the NetherWorld Ice and let the rune absorb it.
He opened his hand and a rune was formed. It had taken the colour of the NetherWorld Ice becoming a purple. It said the words NetherWorld Sealing Chain.
"Interesting right. So who wants it between you two?"
The tiger who had laid down to sleep, got up and ran.
"I was kidding, Frost snake come here."
The Frost snake slithered to Leon unafraid. The tiger and tail snake watched with expectation. After this fails you'll know how it feels.
