Silver Grade Maha Beast

Mima was sitting, tears falling down her face, frozen in fear when the maw of the beast rose around her and was about to close.

She will be like a juicy crunching candy.

"NO!"

Lawa's shout came with a hand grip.

Crack!

Around her, a solid Yellowstone formed faster than the clasping maw, and she was protected but not without injury.

The stone had cracked and the clasped impact shook her body.

She fainted immediately.

The copper-grade lizard, too, was shaken and delayed. It felt like it had slammed an extremely hard rock, and some of its fangs cracked.

Old Man Luno descended on it with madman fury, but another copper-grade lizard appeared.

It was bigger and faster; the old man had to use both his concave objects to shield himself from the tail whip, and he was sent away like a rag doll.

Both lizards vanished inside the sand.

"Damn, fucker!" Old Man Luno shouted in anger.

His thickest concave object had shattered together with his left hand.

Lawa stood beside the fainted girl in paranoia, his eyes darting from location to location. Sweat rolled down from his face due to an earlier outburst

The outburst had shattered whatever True Master Brass had done to him.

The only saving grace was he had indeed healed to a degree due to the successive success he had.

Old Man Luno looked their way, seeing they were fine, he calmed down and ran Rena around his broken hand which began to mend it to a degree.

"Ever since I came here, I have become their training dummy." He said with remnants of anger.

"89 years ago, I met the big one. It was just Iron Grade and I almost killed it. Ever since he has harassed me and made others do so."

He expected this little explanation would calm down Lawa but no. It didn't. The boy's eyes kept looking around, not just at the sand but at the sky as if something would drop them

"Something is wrong with him!"

He ignored that and kneeled before the girl and poured her healing water. Her rag breathing returned to normal, and she became peacefully asleep.

"Can you pick her? We need to move!"

Lawa stared at him as if he were looking at the old man for the first time.

In a way, he was. Because the whole leaving the clan and coming here felt like another dream. But one that became a reality.

Lawa heard a distant chime of metal.

He looked back to the clan location and he felt some surreal easiness come back to him. Old Man Luno didn't disturb him.

Moisture came to Lawa's eyes and he calmed down. His erratic heartbeats reduced.

"Alright!" His voice was slow and low.

He picked Mima off and they began to run.

Body Stage gave one incredible physique. With the slightest Rena in the body, one can recover their fatigue and perform mundane activities such as running.

'I should go back to the clan. I don't think I can do this?'

Lawa said to himself.

Yellow Sand Dune was a powerful skill that one can even engage Gold Grade Beast and come out on top using it. It was a well-rounded skill in offence, defence and also utility.

Mastery was the only limitation to the user, and that was also Lawa's issue as well as his now wavering mindset.

"Are you alright!" Old Man Luno finally asked after some minutes of running. He can't just watch silently anymore.

Lawa looked at him as if he was a stranger but didn't say a thing.

'I need to return home. I can't do this!'

There was a groan from the girl, they put her down and watched her open her eyes.

"Anything broken?" The old man asked and she shook her head.

"Then we run!" He ordered.

The three people run on the empty desert together without saying anything. Even the girl was able to keep up with slight difficulty.

When their pace reduced to a degree to let Mima catch her breath she muttered, "Thank you for the candy. It helps a lot!"

The Chieftain remembered she had used the Sandine Skill.

"It's alright!" Lawa's voice was a bit steady now but he still stared at her like she was a stranger.

"Something close by." Old Man Luno muttered. His hand holding a vial, his face crunching in worry.

"Silver!" Mima said in horror.

"Yes!" Chieftain Luno croaked. He was tense beyond comparison. 'We are going to die here!'

Silver Bronze Beasts were also referred to as Bronze Silver Beasts depending on their traits.

Silver Bronze are Beast their Silver trait was higher than Bronze. They exhibit exceptional intelligence, crowd control and information transfer.

Some of them were so smart that they created what was called Bcraft. A device just like Craftwork that humans made but one that suits them.

Most Silver Grade command a hoard. If you see one, you see many copper and iron grades.

"The Silver is retreating!" Old Man Luno exclaimed. He felt a cold wind caressing him as it dried his sweat due to extreme fear.

A smile on his face and he looked around to share his joy with someone.

That was when he noticed Lawa raising the same pendant he showed them.

"Marmara Clan is really amazing!" He praised with utter sincerity.

Mima was confused. Why does the pendent work on the Silver Beast, too?

"Haha. Little girl. You have a lot to learn." Old Man Luno laughed, and he tapped her back, which made her almost toppled by its strength.

"You see, Greats Clan and Great City, as well as Kingdoms and Empires, can have a pact with Silver and above Maha Beast that live around them. The Marmara Clan are notorious in that regard. In fact, some of their Cultivation Profession is geared toward that."

The man felt good about himself. He survived again. Even though he was 111 years old, in the grand scheme he was just young.

He still had hope he may reach the Third Stage, which would make him younger and his lifespan increase.

"Shall we continue!" He said before he began to run.

All this time Lawa hadn't said a thing. He was still contemplating whether to go back. He should go back, he thought.
