Chapter 211 - Scorpian Killer

Chapter 211 - Scorpian Killer

For miles and miles, all that could be seen was the golden yellow sand. The sun was shining brightly and the air felt dry. Riding on top of Noir was Ray and Randin. In the end, the two of them were the only ones who had journeyed out into the desert to search for the Scorpion killer.

Randin asked several times if Ray was sure he didn't need to bring anyone else. He would describe how ferocious the beast was but Ray insisted that he and Randin would be enough, as long they didn't encounter any higher tier beasts. After much debate, Randin decided to trust Ray and the two of them headed into the desert.

Right now though, Randin was seriously reconsidering if he should have come along at all. Sitting on top of Noir with all his heavy armour and his trusted battle axe on his back, the little dwarf was seriously struggling with the heat. The man was sweating buckets.

Ray had no problem as he was using his ice attribute not only to keep himself cool but also Noir. Of course, Ray was able to use this skill on the dwarf but lately, Randin had been asking too many questions and Ray was getting tired of it.

Before they had set off on their journey, Ray had used his endless Void skill in front of Randin and that was a big mistake. Randin kept asking Ray about how it worked and how it was possible he could do such a thing. Randin also wouldn't stop asking about what happens to Noir when she was put away.

Ray just knew that if he kept showing Randin more skills, then Ray would never hear the end of it and for once the heat was keeping Randin silent.

The desert was tricky to navigate but with a map purchased by one of the merchants and a direction crystal, they were able to navigate through the desert without getting lost. Even if most of it looked the same. The location crystal paired with the map would indicate where they were on the map.

As long as they didn't lose the crystal then they would know where they were.

Suddenly, Randin started to get up as he spotted something.

"Let me see the map boy!" Randin said. "As I thought this is the spot."

Ray looked at where they were but to him it looked like every other part of the desert. Just a load of sand with a few rocks here and there.

Then when Noir took another step, the ground started to shake.

"Put the beast away now!" Randin shouted, "Unless you want her to die, their stingers are poisonous."

Randin and Ray quickly jumped off Noir before de summoning her. The shaking continued and slowly a small sand hill was starting to emerge in front of them. Randin readied his axe and started charging towards the hill, which was unexpected.

When Randin asked to be taken along with Ray, he never thought Randin would be the fighting type, after all his main job was a blacksmith.

The sand had fallen onto the ground to reveal a large red Scorpion with a stinger as large as the body itself.

"This is payback for disturbing my meal the last time!" Randin shouted as he swung his axe down at the beast.

The beasts managed to lift one of its pincers to block the attack but the strike from Randin was strong. It had pierced through the Scorpion's hard skin and was stuck in a few inches deep. While watching Randin, Ray had noticed that Randin hadn't used any Ki in his attack. Meaning his attack was pure strength.

It was impressive to Ray and he was surprised how much strength the little man had. The scorpion then fired its stinger from above down onto Randin, However, Randin managed to pull his axe out of the scorpion's claw and jumped back avoiding the strike.

With the scorpion's tail in front of him, Randin swung as hard as he could hitting the scorpion's stinger, the blow only managed to go halfway through before the scorpion pulled its stinger away.

"What are you standing around for!" Randin shouted, "I thought you were going to help me, are you not meant to be strong?"

Randin continued to struggle to fight the beast one on one, while Ray slowly walked up to the beast. Finally, Ray was now standing side by side with Randin.

The scorpion once again threw its stinger down but this time at the new target, Ray.

"Boy watch out!"

As the stinger came down, Ray reached out his hands and grabbed the head of the stinger with both arms. Leaving the point of the stinger inches away from his face.

"You absolute mad lad!" Randin screamed.

The scorpion tried to move its pincer and as it did Ray gripped on to the pincer tighter eventually ripping it off from the best.

The scorpion could feel that Ray was on a higher level and started to burrow itself into the sand.

"Quick, if he gets into the sand will ever be able to find him," Randin explained.

Ray then placed both hands on the ground and cast "Ice bind."

A trail of ice quickly surrounded the scorpion's legs freezing it in place.

"Ice ball." Ray then continued to fire ice balls while walking over to the scorpion but when Ray got to close the scorpion, it used its two claws to try crush, Ray from both sides. This time, Ray used the ki in his legs to propel himself forward to avoid being crushed by the claws and dug his fist right into the scorpion's head.

"Looks like you can do something after all," Randin said.

Luckily for Ray, this time the system didn't take the beast Crystal. Even though Ray needed Advanced tier beast crystals to evolve himself. One crystal wouldn't make much of a difference. Creating armour for Noir would boost his parties' power more than feeding it to himself.

Randin quickly ran over to the fallen scorpion and new the exact place the beast crystal was located so there wasn't much time taken up looking for the crystal.

"Now let's go make some beast Armour," Randin said with a smile.
