Chapter 2397: 2397. Powerful Predator



Piercing eyes. That was the first thought that Onyx had as he faced a monster that was different from him. While it had the clear affinity for both light and dark manas, it was balanced. Stronger than him and his affinities.

It was a rare case since Onyx had not met anyone with a dual affinity like his that was stronger overall, he was surprised that he was even seeing a monster sitting right in front of the dual elements naturally occuring rune. The light and dark mana were potent there and it would be hard to remain there for long periods of time.

"This is the core of the dungeon. Isn't it?" Onyx responded to Aurora with a soft nod. He didn't take his eyes off the monster in front of him. The younger serpents had melted in to his shadows feeling the pressure around them and knowing that they would be unable to pursue a proper battle. In Onyx's shadow, they could be out of the way.

This didn't stop the one from using the monster appraisal skill though. The young serpent had already seen the monster in front of them and was mentally communicating every detail that he could with Onyx. The very fact that through this the young serpent who had learned appraisal skills had managed to take a step and become a monster appraiser was amazing.

The future for him was almost endless right now. Genesis needed those that would be able to bring this information home. The temer's guild would be incredibly excited to even get this young serpent to join them for even a few days. This was simply to be able to handle the many appraisal requests from the traveling tamers.

So many had already reported changes in their own monster partners let alone the fact that they were seeing entire herds of monsters change in characteristics. Some would remain the same while others would change slightly. Then there were monsters that would entirely alter their form and become something that they had never seen.

So much information could be learned and shared to help everyone who went in to the wilderness to travel. Even the merchants would be coming from this information sooner than later. They needed to remain safe after all.

But after glancing at the strikingly dark fur on one side and the almost shimmering white on the other, this tall bestial monster was similar to what some would have called a fusion between ape and man. Yet, there were differences.

On the dark side of its fur, there were pure white claws, sharp and coursing with calm, but sharp light mana. On the white fur side, the dark black claws radiated a soft but deadly dark decaying mana. Both could cause immense damage while the added physical buffs coming from the balanced manas were clear.

The light mana was increasing the bodily strength of this monster. The decaying dark mana made the pressure in the area feel threatening. Both were potent enough to do their own aspects clearly but together they did much more.

He felt that the claw had been curled in to just hit with physical force. It was a predator playing with food. No, Omnyx felt that he was being tested to see if he would actually be a real threat or something that could be ignored.

It made Onyx feel as if he was being insulted even though he knew that this light shadow ape was not even capable of thinking like this. Yet, in nature there was always a creature that showed its dominance over a territory with force. Just like this, if Onyx was a weak monster, then the light shadow ape would let him move about.

That was why Onyx didn't hesitate. He slammed his tail back against the fist that had just hit him. He didn't want to be beaten down. He would not lose this dungeon to the monster residing within it. This was a place for the future generations now.

Whether or not it was won through physical might or through magical might didn't matter. Onyx would be able to show the young serpents with him that with their strength they could all survive and build this future.

The light and dark manas in Onyx's body surged and he used them to enforce his own body as well. Multiplying the effects of the buffs that Aurora had given him. This was all won with time gained as Aurora began to send needles of light and spikes of light toward the light shadow ape, forcing it to retreat and begin using mana as well.
