CHAPTER 28 GRANDPA

Shadow decided to plant the seed of the tree of life in the centre of Great Elf Village. After all, each race has a different kind of village. The village looks like a forest but is filled only with treehouses.

Shadow then called for Lily and told her to take care of the seed of life; he also gave her the Elf Warrior Orb.

Shadow then distributed the orbs to their respective races, and the item was also distributed to their respective professions.

Shadow then left the town and went to the beach. He wanted to investigate the ocean.

When he arrived there, he called for Thunder and told him his purpose.

Thunder nodded and told Shadow the situation under the sea.

There are five overlords in the area: the Torpedo Shark, Giant Dark Eel, Poisonous Golden Shrimp, Savage Manta Ray, and Thunder.

Shadow then asks about their characteristics and strengths. Thunder says that he doesn't know much because he is new to the area, but there are still rumours and stories he has heard.

First, the Torpedo Shark is the strongest of the overlords in terms of close combat; even Thunder is somewhat afraid of it.

Second is the enormous Dark Eel, a beast that has mutated. It has an innate ability called gigantification. It is also good at electric attacks, but in terms of combat prowess, Thunder is at a much higher level.

Third is the poisonous golden shrimp, the most fearsome of the overlords. It is the smallest yet the fastest beast in the area, with its deadly venom. Even the strongest of the overlords, the Torpedo Shark, is wary of it. The only beast that it fears is the enormous dark eel.

Fourth is the Savage Manta Ray, the weakest but most brutal of the overlords. With a tail equipped with venom, it was promoted into an overlord, but mostly because it is an underling of the Torpedo Shark.

And last was Thunder. Because of his new arrival, he is not as famous as the other 4 overlords, but with his strength, no overlord wants to have a deathmatch with him.

"Thunder, do you have any enemies or friends from the overlords?"

Thunder seems deep in thought and says, "My enemy is the Savage Manta Ray, while the beast that I am close with is the Enormous Dark Eel."

Shadow then nodded and told Thunder to cultivate with him. He wants Thunder to release some of its dragon aura while Shadow devours it using the Energy Assimilation Technique, then using the Dragon Body Technique to temper his body while also exuding some of the processed energy, so Thunder also benefits.

Shadow decided to stay with Thunder until he broke through stage 4 of the Dragon Body Technique.

Thunder was also improving at rapid speed when cultivating with Shadow because his dragon energy was very crude and low level, but with the energy that Shadow released, he was tempering his own dragon energy while using it to purify his bloodline, evolving into a true full-fledged dragon.

After cultivating with Thunder these past few weeks, Shadow broke through stage 4 of the Dragon Body Technique.

Thunder's strength also improved with the continuous supply of high-grade purified energy from Shadow; it levelled up from Gold Level 2 to Gold evel 4; iits horn also kept getting longer; its scales were getting glossier; and now it also has a tint of gold.

"Thunder, can you defeat the torpedo shark if you have some help"

"I don't know, master, but my strength has grown tremendously during the past few weeks. If I have reliable help, I can definitely defeat the Torpedo Shark."

Shadow then nodded and told Thunder he would return to town to bring the helper.

After returning to the town, Shadow immediately goes to his grandpa's villa.

He saw his grandpa was still doing his new hobby of fishing Shadow, then scanned him because the helper he decided was Trevo, his grandpa's partner.

He was surprised to find out that Trevo evolved from the Longevity Tortoise to the Longevity Dragon Horned Tortoise.

He smiled even though his grandpa seemed lazing about, but the truth is, he is the one who trains the hardest.

His grandpa noticed Shadow's presence and smiled kindly. "What is it, Shadow, for you to come to this old man?"

"Grandpa, I need your help to defeat a beast."

His grandpa's eyebrow shot up; he knows more than anyone how terrifying Shadow's forces are asking for his help to deal with a beast.

"What kind of beast is it that you even ask for my help?" Rey asks suspiciously.

"It is a GOLD LEVEL Torpedo Shark. Only Trevo can help me bring this creature down."

His grandpa realised why Shadow especially asked for his help in the town. Trevo is the strongest water beast.

Shadow then led his grandpa to the ocean, where Thunder is.

When his grandpa saw Thunder, he nodded appreciatively, looking at it. For him, dragons are the pinnacle of strength, but Thunder was different. He only felt fear when Trevo arrived.

"Master, with Trevo's help, I am one hundred percent sure that we can take down the Torpedo Shark."

Shadow nodded and told the plan: Thunder and Trevo will face off with the Torpedo Shark while he and Grandpa will just wait at the shore so that both of them have no distraction.

Thunder nodded and left with Trevo to face off the Torpedo Shark while Shadow and his grandpa were killing time having a spar between Master Swordsman.
