The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Two fighters were dueling below the night sky filled with clouds. Only a little moonlight escaped from the clouds, making it possible for others to see the things around them. A ten-foot-tall giant with three long horns could be seen surrounded by smoke and mist.

He swung the two machetes in his hand towards the five-foot opponent in front of him, who looked very weak compared to this giant, but the young boy could somehow parry the attacks coming from this Demon using his sword clad in dark fire and three chains around him.

Two minutes have passed since the Demon transformed into a more deadly version of himself. It was very hard for Rishi to face him, and the fire around him made it even tougher.

He had managed to get five more hits on the opponent, repaying him for the damage he had done to his body. There were two big wounds on Rishi's chest and back.

If he wanted, he could recover it now, but he was trying to save the 'regeneration' skill for later to heal all his injuries at once, so he tried to hurt his opponent as much as possible in between.

The Demon was pissed off at Rishi, who was like a mosquito to him and was constantly annoying him. He increased the volume of his attacks, trying to end the battle as soon as he could.

Rishi also controlled his chains to attack the Demon; he used his sword aura with mana to cover all three chains in his sword aura, and while this increased his energy consumption by a long way, the result he got was worth it.

They exchanged some more moves; the battle was getting fiercer every second, and Rishi, covered in blood and sweat, was struggling to stand, supporting himself using his sword. His legs were shaking, as was his whole body; he cried in pain, but the sharp look in his eyes had not depleted a bit.

He exchanged some more moves and even landed a 'Triangle Slash' on the opponent, but the vitality of the opponent was very high; even when he was not able to regenerate, he was still able to fight. Rishi was trying to attack again when a machete came out of nowhere and landed on his chest, throwing him some meters away.

Rishi also used this opportunity to penetrate through his opponent with his three chains. He coughed some blood, and a smile came to his face. "This is it; this is how a real battle should be."

He used the 'regeneration' skill and slowly stood up by taking support from his sword nailed to the ground. His legs were shaking, and his head was cloudy, but his eyes were still sharp. He used 'Extreme Focus' and came to his senses; he came up with a plan to take out his opponent in one go.

If he wanted, he could use the golden portal behind him to escape and clear the trial in an easy way, but Rishi was not going to do that. For him, it was an opportunity to train.

He started approaching his opponent, who was breathing loudly and was filled with injuries. His opponent thought he would also be in the same or worse state as him. So he was ready to land the final blow and end the battle, but little did he know the glint in Rishi's eyes and the cunning smirk on his face were there for a reason.

Rishi started running toward him, using phantom steps to increase his speed; the Demon with injured legs was no match for Rishi's speed. He moved around in circles, using his chance to tie down the legs of the opponent. The Demon thought Rishi was being cautious, as one more hit would end the battle.

The Demon was constantly swinging his weapons here and there, but Rishi ignored it; he stopped when he had prepared everything. Rishi used 'Sword Dash' and appeared behind the opponent before using the Second Form' of the Triangle Slash Sword Technique, 'Sword Triangle.'

His attack landed on the tendons at the back of both legs of the opponent, causing two big wounds. The Demon cried in agony and tried to maintain balance, but Rishi executed the next step of the plan. He used 'Quik Draw' back to back on the two wounds with his sword blade covered in sword aura, making the wounds even deeper.

Then he used his chains covered in sword aura to enter those wounds and cause even more pain. The Demon swung his machete towards Rishi, but Rishi was already prepared; he used 'Sword Dash' to move to the front before using the Third Form' of his Triangle Slash Sword Technique, 'Star Slash.'

He created a star pattern shining in silver light in front of him in the blink of his eyes before launching it toward the Demon. The attack was aimed at his kneecaps. First, the star-shaped energy blasted the feet before six separate sword slashes appeared and attacked both kneecaps of the opponent.

With this condition of both his legs, the Demon was even struggling to maintain his balance like a half-chopped tree. Rishi pulled the chains to bend him to the ground before using a chain to leap into the sky. He used gravity to increase the power of his attack and kicked the Demon in the back.

It was already hard for the Demon to maintain his balance with this final attack; he was unable to stand up, carrying his own weight. A little push was all it took for him to fall like a fallen tree.

Rishi used his chains to leap high in the air again and finally reached the neck of the opponent. He called back all his sword aura into his sword before using mana to make it very large. He used all his focus in the 'Extreme Focus' state and concentrated all his aura on the edge of his sword; he used the Second Form' of his sword technique, 'Triangle Slash, and swung his sword with all his strength to hack the neck of the opponent in one go.

A small explosion took place, which blasted Rishi many steps ago. It was due to his unstable sword aura. The sword in his hand has also disappeared into nothingness; he was stopped after his back hit the boundary of the roof, and he heard a cracking sound. Some of his bones have broken.

He opened his eyes and was not able to see clearly. He looked in the direction of the opponent and saw that there was still mist, dust, and smoke there. He only saw a shadow of a huge giant sitting on his knees; on the place of his head was a fountain of blood and lava.

His body was still moving; he stood up and started dragging his body towards Rishi. It scared the sh*t out of Rishi, but he was unable to move for a second. He was about to use 'Shadow Walk' when the corpse stopped moving.

"That was close," he sighed as he closed his eyes. When he got the assurance that the fight was over, he could only see darkness and hear a "zing" sound.

A golden light surrounded his body, and the body started to slowly lift up in the air before disappearing. Rishi opened his sleepy eyes when he felt cool and comfortable all over his body.

He looked around before checking his wounds, and he sighed when he found out that all of his wounds were healed. He stretched before trying to scan his surroundings. He found out that there were multiple doors in front of him, each carrying a unique presence, symbol, and color. There was a rune at the center of each gate that was shining brightly. In front of this were steps to approach these gates.

He knew what he had to do, but he was waiting for something. A ding sound appeared in his ears, and he heard Gaia's voice again. Which made him sigh in relief. He was thinking that he was in a dream, not sure if it was all a dream world or reality.
