The Primal Blood Demonic Dragon

’Master.’

’What?’ Gin kept moving and changed direction sometimes while Musa operated like a radar.

’Are those elemental essence fruits too important for you?’

Gin didn’t even took time to think about it ’No, those are only basic element. And more element will be extra burden with my current physique and phee energy Tier. Already on overload from hassle of over higher ranked soul.’

’Then can you give them for my use?’ Musa’s tone suggested he was cooking an ambitious plan.

’You have to know that they aren’t elemental source which will awaken your elemental affinity for that element unconditionally.’ That’s also the reason he previously didn’t mention about keeping them for the ladies.

’I know master but essence liquid have also the properties to increase the effect upto a certain limit. And if used all available elemental source fruit together then there is very high chances of success with them also helping reconstruct my figure. There wouldn’t be need of extra elemental fruits or elemental stones of five basic elements.’

Gin reckoned the pro and cons while they spotted their next target.

Hundred meter huge, red with black strips anaconda.

Gin stopped in his tracks at distance of two hundred meter, hidden behind a tree. Concealed from snake’s eyesight.

Somehow Gin was hesitant from confronting with the snake.

’What happened?’ Musa was puzzled seeing him not moving. So he scanned the snake again and found his spiritual sense was indeed correct. That snake is only at base of Super Tier.

’Poison element is bad news.’ Gin shook his head while observing the snake at distance.

’Why? what’s the problem. Master can just kill it from distance using element in one shot, it is only at base super rank.’

Still Gin denied shaking his head ’If it doesn’t die from one shot then that would be absolutely worst. Both water and wood element isn’t made for destruction after all and not reliable in these kind of situations.’

’So what to go for next target master.’

’No, wait for some time. Let me think for a bit.’ While keeping his eyes on the snake Gin leaped into world of silence.

After a while he voiced in their link ’It might work, based on it is from reptile species.’

’Hm? what master?’

But Gin didn’t answer and leaped up from the tree. Next moment a giant silhouette appeared above which could be seen from even very far if creatures looked up in the sky.

Just few meters from Gin lay the giant snake glued to the ground shaking from fear or submission.

"Have to finish it quick." Energy flowed out of Gint through his feet and next instance thick wood branches bound the snake in place preventing it from moving despite it still not making any movement even after being bound.

A sharp wood blade appeared big enough to cover his height three times. Gin hacked the blade through the middle section of the snake, dividing it in half and also ending its life with tht one move.

Silhouette above became transparent soon after and vanished in no time just after the death of the snake.

Blood dripped from his forehead and Gin knelt on the ground as he stored the snake corpse.

’Master, materialising your soul have taken quite a troll on you.’ With his scanning it was visible to him how much internal injury Gin have taken from just showcasing his soul for few seconds.

His internal muscles have stressed with cracks appeared on blood vessels.

’Still his recovery is indeed amazing. His enormous vitality, water element and wood element energy coursing through heart to blood vessels and repairing them. Like problems, similer benefits. Because of such force on body going through, his physique is improving naturally with his strength as it gets repaired from three sources without any conflict between them. Such harmony is unbelievable to happen.’ More Musa explored Gin’s internal situation more he became shocked. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Soon in just five minutes Gin has recovered enough to move his limbs as however he wants to.

Feeling so low energy Gin sat down on spot to recover and let remaining internal energies do their job passively.

No activity could be spotted through few thousand km after the stunt Gin pulled. Gin could also feel he doesn’t have much time left of his current strength.

’How many super body would need for your rebirth?’

Musa thought about his plans and replied after calculating according to them. ’That Shadow leopard will be more than enough and there is also essence liquid for extra short energy if needed but for safe side one more super carcass will be best.’

’Won’t that snake corpse do?’ Gin seems to why he didn’t include it but still asked to confirm.

’No, master. It is too low grade.’

Sure enough, Gin thought while they more deeper inside wilderness with more thicker and bigger trees looking quite ancient.

The wilderness stretched endlessly, thick with ancient trees, twisted roots, and mist that clung low to the forest floor. Sunlight barely pierced the tangled canopy above, casting eerie patterns on the mossy ground.

Then, the silence shattered.

With a deafening roar, a massive panther, its fur like living bark and eyes glowing emerald green, burst through the underbrush. Vines and brambles wrapped its limbs like armor, and with every step, the forest seemed to pulse in rhythm with its movements. It wasn’t just in the wilderness. It was the wilderness. Even its skin colour looking like came in existence with the same source of wilderness.

Across the clearing stood Gin, eyes calm but sharp, his hands glowing with swirling energies—water in one hand, wood in the other. His long green robe fluttered in the wind, soaked slightly from the rising mist he summoned around him. He ready to give to his all in this battle sensing functions coming from his soul.

The panther lunged.

’Be careful master, this panther can avoid my spiritual sense.’

Gin heard Musa clearly but didn’t reply back. He raised both arms. The ground surged a tidal rush of water, created with the very moisture in the air and soul crashed into the beast in mid leap. It roared, twisting midair, claws slicing through the current, landing in a crouch. From its paws, roots shot into the soil, splitting the earth and sending a volley of wooden spikes surging toward Gin.

Gin spun fluid and a barrier of bark and flowing water rising in unison to intercept. Wood cracked, water hissed into vapor. The forest itself groaned with power.

They clashed again, the panther’s tail sweeping trees aside, its claws trailing vines that whipped and lashed but Gin was faster. Water surged beneath his feet and lifted him, moving him like a emperor of sea. His counterattacks came in waves: razor-edged leaves, water whips, and thorn-covered tendrils.

But the panther adapted. It merged with the trees, reappearing from trunks, its body shifting into bark and shadow, striking from impossible angles. The battle wore on, both combatants bleeding energy into the forest, their elements fusing and clashing in chaotic bursts.

Hours seemed to pass. The forest floor was soaked and torn, sap and steam rising from the battlefield.

Gin fell to one knee, breathing heavily. The panther tried to circle him slowly wounded and limping but still lethal.

Then Gin closed his eyes.

The mist thickened, and from it rose a towering tree created by Gin’s final burst of wood energy. But it wasn’t an attack, it was just a vessel to convey the real one. Water flooded through its trunk, spiraling into the branches, glowing with ethereal light. Gin raised his hands one last time.

The tree exploded in a storm of living spears, each one infused with water so pure and sharp it cut through the panther’s bark armor like silk.

The beast roared defiant and desperate but the final spear formed from twisted vine and spear of water pierced its heart and skull.

The panther collapsed, unmoving. Both spear did its job ending in one motion.

Gin stood silently, drenched and exhausted, surrounded by broken forest and fading mist. But soon he felt his strength leaving him, making him collapse on his knees.
