Kali has been inside the dark realm for six months now he has grown taller and his body started to develop muscles, and he has reached the pseudo master stage, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the master stage, beside him is a big black colored serpent with small horn-like spikes growing on its head making it looks terrifying and vicious, it is the black serpent it has reached the master stage and has undergone its first evolution and became a Wind Devouring Serpent.

...

Six months ago.

Kali and the black serpent are inside the cave training.

" Here drink this " Kali gave the black serpent a bottle of the black liquid he got from Banu.

The black serpent quickly drank it and its body suddenly trembled, the bottle of black liquid contains the dark and the rare space attribute, it came from the dark crystals, heart crystal, and the dark void stone he got from the old castle ruins.

He found out the name of the black stone he got from the ruins from Hell Pursuer, and he research its properties and found out that it contains a little of space attribute, space attribute is one of the rarest attribute, space attribute savage beast and materials are usually monopolized by strong families and factions to boost their strength, that is why she Kali found out about the dark void stone, that is when he decided to let black serpent evolve into a Wind Devouring Serpent, plus he also possess a lot of dark attribute materials, and about the poison gland that elder Barri gave him that can be used as the main material to evolve black serpent into an abyss poison serpent, he gave it to Banu as a reward for helping him.

After the black serpent trembled violently it calmed down and started to absorb and integrate the dark attribute and space attribute in its body.

When Kali saw that the black serpent is in a stable condition he proceeded to his meditation. The black serpent took a week to fully absorb the attribute energy from one bottle of the black liquid and he still has two left, after the black serpent finished his first bottle of the black liquid Kali didn't immediately feed it another one instead he took it outside the cave to test its strength, they traveled for a few minutes before they encounter their first sparring partner a pseudo master stage Blazing Ape, it has red fur and it's back and claws are burning in red fire.

" perfect, black serpent don't hold back " Kali ordered black serpent, after hearing Kali's order it immediately disappeared from its current position and arrived in front of the blazing ape in a blink of an eye, black serpent just used dark strike but it became faster and more unpredictable because of the increase in his dark attribute and the addition of some space attribute, the dark strike skill is now similar to blink which is a skill of space attribute savage beast that enables them to teleport in a short distance.

After arriving in front of the blazing ape black serpent immediately use tail whip and hit the blazing ape on its neck knocking it down, but the blazing ape still manage to stand up, showing its strength as a pseudo master stage, it attacked black serpent with its flaming claws but black serpent dodged it gracefully, and then made a counter attack and bit the blazing ape's neck, the blazing ape struggled but the black serpent didn't let go, after a few seconds of struggling it stopped moving and it's arms fell down as if the blazing ape lost all of its strength, black serpent killed the blazing ape in just two moves, its strength increased greatly after absorbing one bottle of the black liquid made from dark attribute materials, Kali and black serpent spent the whole afternoon fighting savage beasts even Kali started joining the e fight, there are times that he can defeat a savage beast on his own without teh help of the black serpent, he now use his white umbrella as a weapon, he use dominance reinforcement on it to make it as sturdy as steel, and like black serpent Kali now moves gracefully and silently like how black serpent moves, his movement patterns when it comes to fighting is similar to a serpent, because he's been studying black serpent's movements, Kali's strength also increased along with black serpent, he continued to feed black serpent the black liquid after and after completely absorbing the attribute energy from the liquid black serpent went to hibernation, it lasted for a month, when black serpent woke up it already reached the master stage and evolved from a black scaled corrosive serpent to a Wind Devouring Serpent, black serpent's species changed along with its attribute it is not a poison and dark attribute savage beast but became a dark and space attribute savage beast, though it still has the corrosive poison its potency stayed at the apprentice stage and it will not change, it also learned new skills, Devour and night assault. Devour is the space attribute skill that lets the black serpent who is now a Wind Devouring Serpent to devour its enemies, and the night assault is the improved version of the dark strike, which contains the dark and space attributes.

...

Present-day.

" Today is the day we will venture deeper into the dark realm, are you ready? " Kali asked the big and terrifying black serpent beside him.

" hisss hisss " it hissed loudly and full of battle intent, black serpent wants to fight a stronger enemy since it advanced to the master stage and became a Wind Devouring Serpent, because he wants to test his improved strength, and the deeper they go inside the dark realm the stronger the opponents are.

Kali and the black serpent ran towards the forest in front of him, Kali still runs when he travels because he doesn't have a savage beast he can ride and although the black serpent grew in size it still can't carry him.

" once I reached the master stage I need to tame a savage beast I can use to travel around," Kali said.

He and the black serpent disappeared into the horizon.
