shadowslash then checks her new skill and find it rather decent.

Aqua Shield [White Quality] : Creates a shield using the surrounding water, the shield will block attacks at all direction.

He then rubs her head before leaving with Lilia.

Whenever they passed a person he/she would be stunned as they thought Lilia found a boyfriend.

The most shocked ones were those that knew Shadowslash after they left they started to inform the others of his return.

Seeing the mansion once again Shadowslash smiles when the maids saw this their heart started to flutter.

Lilia leads him towards his old office she then started knocking at the door and said "Reias-san its me Lilia I brought someone with me that would definitely surprise you"

Just after she finished speaking Reias voice was heard "What nonsense are you talking about? either way come in"

When Lilia came in Reias was still calmly sipping her tea but when Shadowslash came inside she spats her tea and started coughing.

She then looks at Shadowslash in disbelief abd started stuttering "Ma-Master, I-I would-wouldn't have have thought that that you returned"

Shadowslash then lets out a laugh as he came forward and rubs her head he complimented her saying "You have done a great job managing this territory"

Hearing this Reias felt sweet inside Shadowslash then looks at Kittens sleeping in the desk and scans her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that she is like Mystique not fighting nor training that much but at least she levels up to Level 5 during his absence.

Shadowslash then told the reason why he returned and after hearing his reason Reias calls the chief and told them to make a grand feast enough to fill a hundred man.

After that Shadowslash then started reading about the gathered information regarding numerous factions and association in the Archinviel Dukedom.

Since it would take some time for the chief to finish their work he had time to read lazily.

Just as he was busy reading Mitz came inside and informed him that old man Fresackio is searching for him.

Shadowslash nodded and told Mitz to bring him in the guest room as he puts the documents down and walks towards the guest room.

Just after a couple of seconds he arrives at the guest room a hurried footstep could br heard as old man Fresackio came barging in.

When old man Fresackio saw Shadowslash he immediately joked saying "You bastard to think you haven't informed your old buddy that you have returned"

Shadowslash laughs as he answered back "Well I want to surprise you to think that you found out about me is already quite surprising"

"Surprising my ass, everyone in the city have already found out that you have returned after all your reputation is still as loud as ever" Hearing what he said old man Fresackio answered

Shadowslash expression turned a bit embarrassed as he thought that he was secretive that people wouldn't know that he have returned.

To think that the servants who saw him walking to the mansion with Lilia would spread the information of his return this fast.

He then laughs bitterly and asks "So how have you been this past months"

Old man Fresackio laughs in a good mood and said "Because of the Sanctuary the overall quality of Tamers and Beastmasters have progressed rapidly and most monsters are those of the dragon kind"

Shadowslash smiled as he thought about going in the Sanctuary to check its present situation.

They then spends idle talks about their life during these past few months.

They only stop talking after Shadowslash was informed that the chief have finished preparing the food.

After bidding farewell to old man Fresackio and to Reias and Lilia he took the foods and went back to the Howling Ridge.

After arriving at the entrance of the secret realm he asks Hentai 'What do I have to do to deliver these food to Banjo?'

Hentai answered 'No need to fret Master since you have signed a contract with Banjo you just have to activate your contract so that you could be safe when going inside by time is an essence so you could only stay at a maximum of 40 seconds'

Hearing this Shadowslash nodded as he immediately activates the contract between him and Banjo and a trace of spatial energy envelops him.

After going inside he saw the chaos of the place there were floating trees destroyed ground everywhere purple lightining rage everwhere as it destroys this objects.

Shadowslash then saw Banjo sleeping peacefully in one spot he then approached him and shakes him a litlle bit.

Banjo was woken up by Shadowslash the first thing that appeared on his mind is that he was still dreaming as he do not believe Shadowslash could go inside of the secret realm just yet.

Shadowslash then punched Banjo's head and feeling the bit of pain he realised that he wasn't dreaming and Shadowslash is trully is in front of him.

Since the space is still unstable they still could not produce sound as the only sound that could be heard is the ripping of space.

Shadowslash did not say anything but he is asking Hentai what's next as he couldn't open the storage as it would make the realm more unstable as Hentai's storage could be considered as an another independent space.

Hentai then told him the method 'Master just need to put his hand on the space jewel and connects it to my storage and Hentai would transfer the food inside of the space in the jewel directly'

Shadowslash then followed the instruction Hentai gave him and transfered the food into Banjo's space jewel.

Unlike Hentai's storage which is considered foreign Banjo have already made a part of the secret realm his so his space energy is quite accepted by the realm.

Shadowslash then waved goodbye to him she went out.

Knowing that it is only a matter of time before the problem regarding the Howling Ridge us fixed he decided to stay at the mansion to relax.

He would never would have thought that the orcs have invaded his territory back at the Dragon Kingdom already.

Once he returns back at the mansion he was welcomed by everyone it seems that they are having a great time in his territory as they look healthy.

Also Teeth, Light, Chinbu and Browny have improved during the last time he had seen them especially for Teeth he didn't only Rank up but also evolved.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : Teeth (Under Contract)

Passive Abilities :[Reduce Presence], [Enhanced Strength]

Active Abilities : [Shadow Blend], [Intimidate], [Instantaneous Movement]

Forbidden/Berserk Ability : [Death Roll]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In terms of improvent he is number one in their group the only thing is that he has no worthy rival on the same rank as him since Shadowslash and the others have left if not he should have already Rank up to Silver Rank.

When he is hunting he could be as sneaky as an assassin as his passive ability [Reduce Presence] improve his chances in sneaking up to his target or being mistaken as a log.

Besides that he could create a combo with this ability and the active ability [Instantaneous Movement] with this ability his burst power have greatly increased but he could only use this ability once every 30 minutes.

Other than [Reduce Presence] he could also pair up [Shadow Blend] and [Instantaneous Movement] dealing a fatal sneak attack.

if he fought in direct confrontation his active ability [Intimidate] could increase his momentum while also reducing his opponent's momentum.

This would cancel out his [Reduce Presence] ability though.

Teeth is now bigger than Haze and is a now the same size as a regular crocodile back on Earth.

With his trait [Enhanced Gastric Acid Power] he could eat a lot more food as the time it took digest his food is much faster than an average monster.
