I Can Give Talent

As soon as Mr. Bison accepted the Demonic Bighorn Sheep's challenge, Stripey who was always hanging around on Mr. Bison's back jumped onto the carriage.

"Umm, Bro Bison, send that sheep flying!" Stripey gave his support to Mr. Bison. 

At the same time, Leyvi also appeared beside Stripey to watch the fight, however, he knew Mr. Bison would win easily.

Seeing that the Demonic Bighorn Sheep was polite enough to challenge Mr. Bison instead of attacking wildly, Leyvi decided to spare this sheep's life. 

The Demonic Bighorn Sheep was at the peak intermediate level and it had huge curled horns on its head. Its size was almost as big as Mr. Bison but its huge horns made it seem like it was stronger.

"Alright, I will be the referee! Get ready to battle!" Leyvi announced.

"What? This human can talk to me." The Demonic Bighorn Sheep was taken aback. After the slight shock, he focused again staring at Mr. Bison. This Bison is strong! He had defeated a lot of demonic beasts with his powerful horns, but now he felt uncertain.

"FIGHT!" Leyvi's voice echoed through the canyon. Except for Tal, Tanya, Valenia, and Hana, the others were not interested in the fight between the two animals.

Mr. Bison and the Demonic Bighorn Sheep immediately charged toward each other. Right before the clash, the Demonic Bighorn Sheep was charging forward, using only its hind legs, as it headbutted Mr. Bison from a higher elevation.

BAANNNNGGGGG!!!

The two demonic beasts' clash produced a thundering sound that echoed through the canyon followed by a shockwave around them.

Mr. Bison and the Demonic Bighorn Sheep were pushed backward by the force of the clash however, the Demonic Bighorn Sheep fell to the ground as both its horns were broken.

Leyvi was surprised that the ram was only slightly injured despite having a full-force ramming clash against the Heavenly Lord Diamond Body. The curved horns must have been extremely sturdy and durable.

Looking at his broken horns, the Demonic Bighorn Sheep was dejected, "I lost, you can kill me." 

"Hahaha! Don't worry. We aren't going to kill you. Take this, it will regrow your horn." Leyvi gave it a Medium Healing Elixir.

"Madam, look at him wasting a precious elixir for a sheep," Valenia complained to Anda in the carriage.

"It's fine. I can make more." Anda chuckled and stated her support for Leyvi's action.

"Hmph, you are spoiling him too much!" Valenia complained again.

After consuming the elixir, the Demonic Bighorn Sheep's curved horns grow again. It appeared brand new and stronger. 

"Amazing! I knew humans could make stuff like this but I didn't expect it would be this miraculous." The Demonic Bighorn Sheep was fascinated by the effect.

"Yeah, my wife is amazing she could make many miraculous stuff. Do you want to join me and become my spirit beast? I already have a few spirit beasts so you won't be alone." Leyvi took this opportunity to recruit the sheep.

"Wife........I'm sorry human, I can't join you because I have things I need to do." The ram appeared to be remembering something and declined.

Leyvi looked at the Demonic Bighorn Sheep thoughtfully, from his tone, Leyvi felt that this was a sheep on a mission.

Leyvi nodded. Since the ram declined, he wouldn't force him.

"Mister Sheep, I wish you the best on whatever you need to do. Mr. Bison, continue the journey!" Leyvi walked back to the carriage.

"Boss, give me an elixir too, I had a bump on my forehead." Mr. Bison shamelessly requested.

Leyvi and the party continued their journey again after this small episode.

The Demonic Bighorn Sheep watched them going away silently. This was the first time he had met a human like Leyvi, so his perception of humans changed slightly.

"Huh?" He was suddenly surprised as he sensed the change in his body. He was about to break through! 

"Thank you bison and human. I wish we meet again someday." He turned and left the place.

His encounter this time turned out to be his lucky encounter.

In the carriage,

Leyvi sighed disappointed as he rested his back on the couch. "He didn't want to join us. Too bad. This is my first recruitment failure as a beast-tamer."

Leyvi figured other beast tamers must have felt way worse than him when they failed. After all, he only had to talk to the demonic beast while other beast tamers had to do more.

"Why don't you just force him to join? It shouldn't be that hard right?" Valenia asked.

"Barbaric girl, do you know what consent is?" Leyvi replied with a teasing question.

"Who's a barbaric girl! Madam! Look at him!" Valenia complained to Anda.

"Would you like it if Leyvi forced you to sleep with him?" Anda asked mischievously. 

"Madam! Fine.....I'm wrong......." Valenia sulked while Anda giggled. She knew that her madam always sided with Leyvi but she kept trying every time an argument happened.

5 days later, they finally saw the sword-shaped rocks from afar meaning they were near their destination.

During these 5 days, many demonic beasts attacked the party as they passed through their area. It was evident that the Demonic Bighorn Sheep was different because this was how demonic beasts behaved most of the time. The savage demonic beasts were easily dealt with by Lilian as she used her vines to do all the work.

After they arrived at the Sword Grave, everyone got off the carriages to explore the area. They raised their heads and looked at how tall each of the sword-shaped rocks was. Due to these rocks providing a lot of shade, they didn't have to squint their eyes looking up. Leyvi counted that there were exactly a hundred sword-shaped rocks here. 

"There's no way that these rocks are natural. Someone must have made them. There are exactly a hundred of them after all." Leyvi commented.

"That's what everyone thought too. But that's what made it to be more mysterious. Who could have made something indestructible like this?" Layla posed the question everyone had been asking for so long.

"Okay, attention everyone! I have checked that this place is safe, no demonic beasts around the Sword Grave, so feel free to explore. Who knows one of us might be lucky here." Leyvi told everyone.

The party immediately dispersed to explore the surroundings.

Valenia was the most enthusiastic searching for some clues about the Secret Martial Skill. It seemed that Leyvi's praise that day made her act like this. She thoroughly searched every single sword-shaped rock, looking for clues on the ground, and flew high up to observe from above, however, she found nothing. She went back down again dejectedly. 

"Is this rock really indestructible?" Mr. Bison wasn't convinced.

"You can try," Leyvi said. Leyvi and Anda looked at each other and smiled. They wanted to see Mr. Bison make fun of himself.

Anda didn't go exploring and just stayed with Leyvi all this time.

"It's just a rock, I've destroyed plenty of them. Watch this boss!" Mr. Bison retreated a few steps to take a distance, then he charged and rammed the base of the sword-shaped rock.

BONK!

The impact, earth shake, or the loud sound Leyvi expected didn't happen. Instead, he only heard a funny sound.

"Ouch ouch!! Boss! My head hurts! Emergency boss! I need that elixir!" Mr. Bison was in pain. It didn't seem like he was pretending.

"Hahaha! Look at that bump, it's so big!" Leyvi laughed at Mr. Bison's unfortunate end and ignored Mr. Bison's request for the elixir. As if he was going to waste an elixir for a bump. A physical injury like that will heal quickly.

After Leyvi was done laughing, he observed the rock again and was thoroughly convinced of the indestructibility claim. How else a strong attack from Mr. Bison only produce a funny bonk sound?

Although he was convinced, Leyvi wanted to test more so he called Scarlet. 

"Scarlet, try to dig a hole in that rock," Leyvi instructed.

Scarlet nodded and activated her digging ability. A forcefield appeared around her and it started drilling into the rock but once again, did nothing to the rock. Not even a scratch.

"How is this possible? Is this really a rock?" Leyvi was suspicious now. His focus shifted from the rock to the ground and something came to his mind.

"Scarlet, dig again, into the ground this time." Leyvi decided to test something else.

Scarlet summoned the digging forcefield again and aimed at the ground. Her eyes widened from shock because she couldn't dig it like the rock. How was this possible? It was one thing with the rock, was the ground indestructible too? What is this place?

It wasn't just Scarlet who was shocked by this discovery, Leyvi, Anda, and Mr. Bison also had the same thought as Scarlet.

Leyvi was getting more and more curious about this place. Everything looked normal on the surface, but the way this place reacted to force gave him some sense of familiarity. Unfortunately, Leyvi couldn't figure out what it was.

Leyvi raised his foot high as he wanted to try the indestructibility in person. 

Leyvi stomped.

CRASHH!!

A loud crashing sound could be heard from all directions. 

"Huh?"
