CHAPTER 6
The next day, Shadowslash was teaching Banjo [Energy Ball] skill.
After their lessons and giving of pointers for half a day, he finally was able to learn and understand it.
They used the remaining time to hunt but still unsuccessful and have not found any Level 9 or 10 monsters.
Fortunately, they did kill a Level 7 Windchaser Horse.
They managed to kill it by having Sans ambush it, breaking its head by one attack.
During night time, Shadowslash began teaching Banjo on how to add Space element on [Energy Ball], which they practiced until midnight. This time, Banjo finally learned the [Space Ball].
The next day, the trio started exploring the forest again. This time, they decided to go to a much farther area.
After xploring for an hour, they finally found a prey with a Level 7 (Rare Grade) rank known as Shadow Jaguar.
At first Shadowslash thought that it was an intelligent monster but after observing it for a few moments, he found out it was just an experienced predator so he decided to target it.
First he ordered Banjo to shoot it using [Space Ball] to lure the target.
Then an unexpected thing happened, who would have thought it will split into two and both of the jaguar started charging at Banjo ruthlessly.
Shadowslash then showed himself and nodded at Banjo.
Both of them shoot at a different time for the two jaguars. Shadowslash [Fireball] just get past through the jaguar while Banjo's [Space Ball] exploded onto the other jaguar exposing the real one.
When the jaguar got close, Sans jump out the bushes and used [Iron Bone Pound] to crush the head of the jaguar.
Nonetheless, it seems that the jaguar had a keen instinct and avoided Sans attack. The good thing is, even though it avoided having its head crushed, the attack managed to hit its shoulder, taking the full blow.
*Crack*
Sounds of bones breaking were heard when Sans attack landed on the shoulder of the jaguar.
The jaguar is now limping. Its other limb was now unusable.
Shadowslash then ordered Sans to truly kill it.
Sans followed the order and walked closer to the jaguar.
The jaguar was very scared of Sans and tried to flee but with its other leg broken, it could not escape. Hence this is where it had its head crushed by Sans using [Iron Bone Pound].
Shadowslash was about to carry the prey home when he heard the SYSTEM.
(The Shadow Leopard is a great ingredient for Host to enhance his Dark Attribute. Now host can use the Fire Core to evolve.)
Shadowslash was very excited.
He ordered Sans to carry the Shadow Leopard corpse back home because he wants to evolve in front of his family.
After arriving home he told his mother to watch his evolution.
They entered in the cave eagerly and watched as Shadowslash finish eating the Shadow Leopard and Fire Core.
They watched as fire and darkness envelop Shadowslash.
After an hour, Shadowslash came out of the envelopment.
He now had 2 tails with colors of black and red.

Shadowslash was delighted of his achievement.
Now that he became a high level monster from a None Rank monster, his family was also looking at him with awe, pride, and happiness. They were truly happy for him.
"Mom, I am going to hunt again. I promise to find a Fire Type items for all of you. That way, we can make sure that many, if not all of you, evolve " Shadowslash said resolutely.
His mother nodded at him, telling him that he believes in him.
Shadowslash then brought Sans and Banjo with him.
He looked at Banjo and said,
"Banjo we are going to take revenge today, with my grade and ability we can take down that spider."
Banjo stared at Shadowslash for a minute then shakes his head. On the contrary, a determined expression was shown on his face as he said to Shadowslash, "No I want to take revenge all on my own, this is what I truly wanted."
Shadowslash nodded.
He has always respect his subordinates' decision. He wanted them to stand on their own.
Thus they started exploring in a much wider scope. After an hour, they found a bronze skinned bull.
Shadowslash could not view its information so they first started observing it. Later that time, approximately after half an hour Shadowslash concluded that it was a Bronze Rank.
Shadowslash shoots [Fireball] towards the bull. He continued firing for a couple of minutes. The bull at first was startled by Shadowslash ambushed then it panicked. Every [Fireball] cause pain but Shadowslash was 6 meters far from it, and even if it started running Shadowslash was chasing it while he was still continuously firing [FireBall] into it.
After an hour of running, the bull was now full of bruises.
It was burned until its body was emitting smoke and due to its injuries and exhaustion, it slumps into the ground.
Shadowslash then ordered Sans to pummel the bull to death while Banjo was coordinating and shooting it from a distance.
He was very tired as he used up all of his Mana so he just watch as Sans and Banjo finish off the bull.
10 minutes later the bull died. Its body was full of injuries.
Shadowslash then had Sans eat half of it.
The bull size was truly big, it will take an effort for Sans to bring the whole corpse back home.
After eating half of the bull Sans finally evolved. The SYSTEM announced that if Sans devoured all the carcass it will further Strengthen the evolution so he just let Sans devour all the bull.
It took a whole hour for Sans to finish its evolution.
Currently, it is with a size twice as big as before.
Its bones are now bronzed colour, the thickness of its bone was also twice as much as before.

Shadowslash then continued hunting.
After half an hour they found a Level 8 (Good Grade) Flaming Hamster and killed it. This time, they are letting Banjo devour all of it and they continued hunting until noon.
They returned home bringing a Bronze Rank bear thereafter.
They had a sumptuous meal, except Banjo who was still digesting the Flaming Hamster that is twice as large as him, making him take his time.
Night came and Shadowslash brought Sans to continue hunting with his ability [Shadow Blend]. Due to this skill, night was a great time for him to hunt. It also the time where much more savage monsters come out.
Shadowslash saw flaming python fighting a black wolf.
He recognized they are both on Bronze Rank. He estimated who will win according to their ability.
The phyton was losing with its body noting full of scratch marks.
The black wolf suddenly pounced on the flaming python and tried to bite the phyton's head but the phyton dodged its attack by moving its body sideward.
The wolf missed the head but not its body. The wolf then started slamming the phyton to the ground.
The phyton was also not succumbing to its fate easily. It started strangling the wolf and burning the wolf's body.
The wolf started to use all of its energy biting off the phyton.
The battle lasted for a couple of minutes until the wolf tear off the phyton's body.
Shadowslash then shoots the exhausted wolf blowing its head.
Following that, he ordered Sans to bring both corpses back at home.
After returning he gave the python to his mother while he gave 1/4 of the wolf to Sans. The rest were shared by him and his sisters.
After eating, all his sisters have level up twice while his mother has gone into an evolution.
She now have light red fur and a flaming tail.
In a single day, both Shadowslash and his mom have leveled up. Because of these achievements, they decided to have a celebration and had a great sleep after.
The next day, Shadowslash looks at Banjo who is now on Level 3.
It seems that the higher the grade, the harder it is to level up, but it is all worth it.
Banjo has grown from 16 inches to 30 inches and just a couple more until he unlock his Strength Attribute.
Shadowslash as usual has gone hunting with Sans and Banjo.
What's new is his mom was also bringing his sisters to hunt.
She said that he won't need to return back when he hunted some preys.
They will be eating prey they hunted.
Shadowslash then gave several hunting tips to his sisters and reluctantly bid them goodbye.
Shadowslash and his team was hunting in the forest. They were exploring for 2 hours but still didn't find a suitable prey.
They come across a strange place accidentally. It was a spine chilling place wherein even Shadowslash was hesitant to explore.
In there he saw Sans who seems to be absorbing some kind of energy, strengthening itself so he decided to muster his courage to go in and explor that place.
After exploring the place for half an hour, the SYSTEM announcement rang:
(A place with bountiful yin energy, the host is adviced to search the item originating the energy as a new mission.)
