NOVEL WEB Chapter 65: Life and Death (1)
Horo's first battle on his journey wasn't easy, but he was able to finish the battle without sustaining injuries that his natural constitution couldn't heal in a short amount of time.
He stored his spoils in a space ring he had back in his family.
He learned that beast parts can be salvaged as materials to be used for things such as, clothing, items, even treasures and potions.
As he continued on his journey he fought many battles and he grew increasingly comfortable with each fight. Many of them were opponents much weaker then the first beast he encountered and he really only participated in them battles to test a lot of theories he had regarding skills and techniques from the different worlds he's experienced.
He also experimented with negative energy and how it interacted with things in this world such as the environment, beast and other energies.
He has plenty of foundational knowledge to go with these experiments because he already explored a lot of subjects since being in Azure Moon, but was limited due to being restricted to his household or the city most of the time.
He discovered that negative energy's basic nature is much broader than he could have imagined.
Back on earth it was mostly compatible with things of an evil nature, such as evil spirits, voodoo, demons and so forth.
While he was still an earthling, he also discovered that his negative energy was different due to being on a different level completely when it comes to quality compared to everyone else's. It was more encompassing, and wasn't as restricted to things of evil nature.
He was also able to evolve his traits by merging things that wasn't necessarily evil or negative.
Now his negative energy seems to be even more capable. It seemed to want to oppose everything. It also had the ability to merge certain things with any kind of negative attributes or their properties, such as yin energy, resentment, killing intent and more.
He speculated that his negative energy can incorporate anything that that could oppose something else, such as fundamental as antimatter which could make him a supreme being, but he would need more information and evidence before being certain.
He had also fought opponents just as strong as the first beast or even slightly stronger. When he encountered them types of beast, tested his limits and got more and more adapted to combat in this body.
As he was thinking over the things he had learned through battle, he came to an immediate stop suddenly.
He felt that something was off but he didn't understand what it was. His instincts had also improved significantly, to the point where they were nearly as great as they were when he was at his peak as a supernatural.
He sensed danger but he couldn't sense where it was coming from.
As he looked around, he suddenly sense something ahead, and when he turned to face the direction he felt the movement, he saw ripples in the view about 15 meters in front of him. It was as if space itself was lake water, and like a fish jumping out of water, a beast walked from out of the rippling space ahead.
It was a beautiful beast that was extremely dark, the same color as the night sky, and its fur shimmered while it stood sharp like a porcupine's but much denser. Its eyes looked like nebula with abyssal dark matter as its backdrop.
Even though its appearance was breathtaking, it gave off a menacing aura as it walked slowly out of space, literally.
