Chapter 56 - Demonic Gorilla
Leyvi fed the demonic red fox a high-grade Medium Healing Elixir that Anda had recently made. The effect was better than the Minor Healing Elixir. The healing was faster and the regeneration effect stayed longer. It means that if one were to be injured again while the effect was active, it would be healed again.
After consuming the elixir, the demonic red fox looked beautiful and healthy again and her fluffy red and orange furs became smooth and shiny. She was surprised that she rejuvenated quickly after consuming the liquid given by the human. Even her milk was available again.
"Can I feed my babies first?" The demonic red fox requested.
"Sure." Leyvi nodded. He sat down on a rock to wait.
Valenia also landed beside him. She was curious about the whole situation as she observed intently.
The demonic red fox shrunk herself and went into the hole again. The cubs excitedly drank her milk and because the effect of the Medium Healing Elixir was still active, they were rejuvenated too and became cute healthy babies again. The demonic red fox was grateful for the human. She didn't have any qualms about becoming his spirit beast anymore.
They came out of the hole in a while, and the demonic red fox grew bigger again. Her size was as big as a normal cow. All three cubs jumped on her back wagging their tails excitedly.
Valenia's eyes sparkled as she saw the cubs. "So cute!"
Leyvi stood up and came near the demonic red fox. "Are you ready?"
"Please take care of us." The demonic red fox gave her consent. She could see that her situation would improve following this human from how he treated them so far.
"Good! My name is Leyvi Leyan and I will be your boss from now on! I will send my spiritual imprint so don't resist it." Leyvi introduced himself and then sent a spiritual imprint into the mind of the demonic red fox.
The process went smoothly and the demonic red fox officially became Leyvi's third spirit beast. Leyvi didn't try to plant his spiritual imprint inside of the cubs because they were still babies and they hadn't become demonic beasts yet. From what Layla told him, the demonic beast's offspring will become a demonic beast more easily if they are fed by their parents.
So, Leyvi would wait until they grew bigger and became demonic beasts first, then let his wives each have a spirit beast. This usually happened in the family where they had a skilled beast tamer.
While Leyvi was thinking about a name for the demonic red fox, Valenia was already playing with the cubs. They quickly got along very well probably because they were a fellow redhead.
Since red furs and orange furs were mixing together on her body, Leyvi decided to name her Scarlet. A color that represents red and orange.
"Starting today, your name will be Scarlet. Are you fine with that?" Leyvi asked.
"Yes Boss, thank you for saving us." She replied happily. She doesn't care too much about her name. She was just joyful that her babies were healthy and lively again.
"Hahaha! Good. Scarlet, you don't have to worry about your babies anymore. They will surely live a good life with the best beast tamer like me!" Leyvi started bragging.
Valenia rolled her eyes. Although it seemed like Leyvi was bragging, it was actually true so she didn't retort this time. She was quite envious of his ability. She wanted to talk with animals too.
"So, how did you get injured? Is it the human?" Leyvi asked.
"No, it was another demonic beast. Deeper in the forest, there was a demonic gorilla who became a high-level demonic beast recently. As it became stronger, it claimed bigger territories than before. Many demonic beasts were forced to leave, including me. I was pregnant at the time, and while I was going to a new area, a demonic baboon attacked me and I got injured. I ran here, gave birth but I was too weak to find any food." Scarlet told her stories in detail.
"Another gorilla?" Leyvi was intrigued. The demonic gorilla had just become a high-level demonic beast so it was a perfect opponent to test his strength. Leyvi's itch kept getting stronger. He wanted to fight the demonic gorilla.
"Do you want revenge? I could help if you want." Leyvi offered.
"No boss, I'll do it myself when I become stronger." Scarlet denied.
Despite looking tame now, Scarlet was actually quite a ferocious demonic beast. So many predicaments happened only because she was pregnant. If not, that baboon wouldn't have been able to injure her.
"That is fine too." Leyvi didn't insist. Although, if they met the demonic baboon accidentally, he wouldn't mind slaying it.
"Where was the high-level demonic gorilla live again? Leyvi wanted to know.
"Leyvi! Madam Anda told you not to!" Valenia stopped playing with the red fox cubs and reminded Leyvi. She felt like this guy was going to get them in trouble.
Leyvi smiled. "Don't worry, I was just trying to test a little. Don't you see my body already? A peak intermediate level couldn't even injure me."
"But-" Valenia was about to dissuade Leyvi but he stopped her first.
"Val, don't... it's fine." He had to scratch his itch no matter what.
"Boss, maybe you shouldn't. Intermediate-level and high-level, the power difference is very big. Even a hundred intermediate-level demonic beasts wouldn't be able to harm a high-level one." Scarlet tried to dissuade Leyvi too.
"Enough, I made up my mind. Where's the demonic gorilla?" Leyvi asked again.
Scarlet could only tell him reluctantly. Valenia has been frowning ever since.
"Alright, all of you stay here and be ready to run any time," Leyvi instructed.
Leyvi turned and flew in the direction of where the demonic gorilla lived.
After a while, he arrived at the territory of the high-level demonic gorilla. There wasn't any other demonic beast here. The demonic gorilla has been in his spiritual sense range. The size of this demonic gorilla was triple the size of the previous demonic gorilla.
Leyvi was amazed. Could a demonic beast grow this big?
When Leyvi was 2 kilometers away from the demonic gorilla, it suddenly looked in the direction of Leyvi and started roaring.
RROOOOAAAAARRRRRR!!!
The roar echoed through the forest creating a shockwave. The trees were shaking and the leaves were flapping intensely.
The demonic gorilla then started to stand bipedally and rapidly beat its chest in succession, creating a loud booming sound. Each boom would make the earth tremble.
Leyvi's eyes widened at this scene. Was there really such a big difference between intermediate and high level demonic beasts?
Leyvi focused. He activated his Fiery Trailblazing martial skill to the maximum creating a raging fire around him. After he was ready, Leyvi rocketed at maximum speed straight toward the demonic gorilla while charging both his hands with all of his remaining Qi. The aura gathered this time was 10 times denser than when he fought with the other gorilla.
Leyvi quickly reached the demonic gorilla with huge momentum and attacked with full force to the head!
BIG BANG DUAL PUNCH!!
Leyvi shouted his attack name in his mind.
However, the sight of the gorilla's head was quickly replaced with a gigantic palm.
BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
A huge explosion occurred and destroyed the area.
Leyvi was swatted like a fly and sent flying far away. He collided with trees and rocks and destroyed everything in his path. After more than 10 kilometers, Leyvi finally landed on the ground limp. He was familiar with this feeling. All the bones in his body were shattered.
His brain also registered a new sense of pain. He was naked and most of his skin was missing from his body. He felt an overwhelming intense burning pain coming from the area of the shredded skin. At this moment, Leyvi looked like a human-shaped red meat.
Leyvi endured all the pain in his body, brought out a Medium Healing Elixir, and drank it.
A few minutes later, he was fully healed. He wore a new set of clothes and stared at the direction he was sent flying from.
It seemed like the demonic gorilla didn't chase after him. It probably thought he already died. If it were any other person, they would absolutely die. If it were the previous Leyvi, he would turn into a bloody mist instantly.
"Yup, I am stupid. Maybe I should have fought with Lilian first to know the difference." Leyvi said to himself. If he told this to Anda, she would be furious. It looks like he needed to bribe Valenia.
Leyvi experienced firsthand the difference in power between the two realms. His increase in strength had gotten into his head causing him to believe that he could fight across the realm. Unfortunately, his fantasy was crushed. He couldn't even fight a demonic beast that had recently become a high level.
Leyvi turned and flew back toward the others.
In the demonic gorilla territory,
A huge demonic gorilla could be seen clutching its hand in pain. A huge chunk of its palm was missing from the hand and blood flowed.
Cultivators nearby would hear angry booming roars from time to time for around a year.
