Chapter 26 – Meteor Impact

When the demonic bison noticed Leyvi coming to him, he was ready to fight. But when he sensed the aura released by Leyvi, he knew that he would die if they fought. He was just a low-level demonic beast. Will this human kill him? Why was his luck so bad?

"Mr. Bison, my name is Leyvi. I would like to offer you a job." Leyvi talked to the demonic bison as if it was a human.

The demonic bison was confused. Did the human just talk to him? And he could understand human language? Ah, it must be his head injuries. It has gotten worse that he would hallucinate now. His end must be near.

"Hellooooo...Mr. Bison, can you hear me? I want to offer you a job," Leyvi asked the demonic bison again while waving his hand in front of its face.

The demonic bison immediately snapped out of its confusion. This human really talked to him! He wanted to offer me a job? Is this human serious? Can he even understand me? 

"What do you want me to do? I'm injured right now." The demonic bison replied. While Leyvi can understand what the demonic bison is saying, the others only hear grunts and snorts.

From the group's perspective, they saw a man talking in human language and a bison making grunts and snorts, probably the language of bison. 

"Master, is Brother Leyvi talking to the demonic bison?" Tasya asked Anda. She had started to address Leyvi as Brother Leyvi instead of the awkward master's husband. Tal had also addressed Anda as Sister Anda.

"Yes, he can talk to anything, even with a stone." Anda teased.

"Master! Why are you teasing me!" She stomped her feet. Tasya was still embarrassed by what happened last time.

"You don't have to worry about your injuries, my wife over there can heal you to full health. She's an alchemist. Initially, she wanted to put you into an illusion and work for us, but I, Leyvi, stopped her from doing that as a gentleman. I prefer a more peaceful way." Leyvi was in his gentleman persona again.

The demonic bison looked at Anda and suddenly felt scared of her. He looked at Leyvi again and thought that this human was a savior. Anda sensed something wrong with the atmosphere, so she quickly glared at Leyvi. Hmph, he must be saying nonsense again!

"So, what should I do for this work? Is there any reward?" The demonic bison felt like he couldn't refuse because of the scary human girl so he could only take up the job offer. He was a lone bison now anyway and they could heal his injuries.

"Mr. Bison, your job is not that hard. You only needed to pull our carriage until we were out of the grassland. We are heading to Bara Volcano northeast of here. And of course, you will be compensated with an intermediate-level demonic core," Leyvi took out an Orange-colored demonic core.

A loud snort could be heard coming from the demonic bison. The demonic bison was shocked. As a low-level demonic beast, it was nearly impossible for him to get his hand on an intermediate-level demonic core. What job? This is a gift. All he needed to do was carry them. 

Demonic beasts could get stronger naturally by absorbing spiritual energy for a long time. However, they could level up faster by consuming spirit grass, other rare treasures, and the demonic core of another demonic beast. There are a lot of demonic beasts that would hunt another demonic beasts of different species to get stronger quickly.

Even Stripey has been consuming a lot of the demonic cores that they obtained throughout the journey so far. It won't be long until he becomes an intermediate-level demonic beast.

"I agree!" After he was out of the shock, the demonic bison immediately agreed. He was just chased out of his herd because a stronger bison appeared from the herd and beat him. This is the opportunity for him to be stronger! Furthermore, this human has no reason to lie to him since the human is stronger. So, this opportunity must be true. The Bison God has not abandoned him.

"Good! I will just continue to call you Mr. Bison from now on. Is that fine? You can call me boss since I'm your employer." Leyvi added.

"No problem boss. Mr Bison is fine." He didn't care anymore. Anything for the intermediate-level demonic core.

After the deal was concluded, Anda gave Mr. Bison a low-grade minor healing elixir and his injuries fully healed. He was confident now that his boss did not lie.

And so, the group continued their journey while riding a carriage pulled by a demonic bison. They estimated that it would take them 2 weeks to reach the other side of the grassland. All of Leyvi's group are inside the carriage except for Stripey. He prefers sitting on Mr. Bison. A monkey and a bison quickly become friends. 

Leyvi was intrigued by this. He never thought about this before, but apparently, animals can understand each other even if they are not from the same species. Was this how the world works? Leyvi wondered.

A week later.

Tal and Tasya succeeded in opening their dantian and were now officially cultivators at the early stage of the Qi Refinement realm. That night, the party celebrated the occasion by eating the meat of an intermediate-level demonic vulture that they obtained yesterday. 

A demonic vulture suddenly targeted their carriage yesterday and Leyvi broke its neck by landing a fiery flying kick. This demonic vulture has a wingspan of over 5 meters. Tasya cooked the demonic vulture and it was enjoyed by everyone, including Mr. Bison.

Just as they finished eating, a demonic beast entered his spiritual sense range. It was slowly approaching them. Leyvi's expression changed. This demonic beast is dangerous!

"Everyone get ready for battle! Lilian, Protect the kids! Anda, assist me!" As soon as he alerted everyone, he activated his fiery legs. Power began to accumulate around his feet.

Lilian immediately summoned her thorned vines and made a thick vine barrier around the carriage including Mr. Bison. Leyvi and Anda were left outside the thorned vine barrier to fight the demonic beast. 

"Anda, what's the range of your ability?" Leyvi asked urgently.

"100 meters radius,"  Anda answered.

"Shit! This demonic beast is smart. It stayed just outside your range waiting to strike!" Leyvi complained.

At this point, both of them have identified the nature of the demonic beast lurking in the distance. It was an intermediate-level demonic leopard! From the aura it emitted, it was not far away from becoming a high-level demonic beast. It's the strongest demonic beast they encountered so far. This demonic leopard must have hunted a lot of demonic beasts to reach this level.

Suddenly, the demonic leopard dashed toward them. It was so fast that Leyvi was barely able to react. It clawed Leyvi with its big paws.

BOOMMM! 

It clashed with Leyvi's leg he barely put up as a defense. Leyvi was sent flying 20 meters away and his legs were bleeding.

"Dammit, it hurts!" 

Enduring his pain, he immediately dashed toward the demonic leopard as it was attacking Anda. Every time the demonic leopard tried to attack Anda, it would feel dizzy.

Anda slashed the demonic leopard a few times but it wasn't strong enough to cut through the thick hide.

BOOOMMMM!!!

When the leopard was dizzy, Leyvi landed a heavy fiery kick on it. Crack!! The sound of broken ribs could be heard. This time the leopard was sent flying by his kick.

ROOOOAAAAARRR!!! 

It was the first time the demonic leopard made a sound and it was a big roar! When it changed the target to Leyvi again, the dizziness went away. So it ignored Anda and pounced at Leyvi again.

Booom! Boooom! BOOOOMMMM!!!

They would trade multiple blows with each other and then, the demonic leopard bites Leyvi's foot and tries to crush it but Leyvi instantaneously detonates his fiery qi, and a big explosion occurs. 

The demonic leopard was seriously injured this time. The explosion broke all its teeth and its tongue was charred. It can't even roar properly anymore. At this moment, Anda's 'Paralyze'  started to take effect, and the demonic leopard couldn't move properly.

Without wasting time, Leyvi flew upwards and then dashed down like a meteor. He used all the qi he had into this kick. 

The demonic leopard tried with all its might to evade and as it was about to succeed, a bunch of vines restricted his movement. The demonic leopard made one last roar!

"METEOR IMPACT" Leyvi screamed.

ROOOAARRRR....BBBOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!

The meteor kick destroyed the demonic leopard's head and created a big fiery crater. Leyvi fainted immediately in the middle of the crater beside the headless demonic leopard.

"Leyvi!!" Anda rushed toward Leyvi and fed him a peak-grade minor healing elixir. 

All the wounds he received immediately healed but he was still unconscious due to the depletion of his qi. He would need to rest for a while to recover his qi.

Anda frowned. In this battle, she felt useless. Her abilities took too long to start taking effect on stronger enemies. Additionally, her combat power was low. She couldn't hurt the demonic leopard in the slightest. 

"I was too overconfident." Anda lamented.
