Murim Recurve

As Re'Kha continued to travel on horseback, she touched her Tikka jewellery, noticing that it had cooled down and was recovering its lost power. She quickly changed to the wind element and unleashed her Rupak.

As it was created using Wind Qi, it was invisible, and made no sounds while flying, perfect for reconnaissance. The Rupak flapped its wings and headed towards the hill, soon reaching its top as Re'Kha frowned.

The Beast, the Ras had finished forming now, turning into a hatchling Beast that was only a tenth of her arm. It matched with the description the village head said at the start about its size. If left alone, it would grow to a massive size within a day.

  As for the Rua, it seemed to be searching for something across the hill as the Rupak followed it. it then slid over the cliff and landed before the cave's entrance, rolling into it like a ball. Soon, it arrived at the place the Beast—Ras—had been before.

Upon noticing that not only had it been completely eradicated, but its two eggs had also followed suit, the Rua was furious. But, it was a cluster of hands, unable to produce any sounds. It expressed its anger by a series of clapping and ticking sounds the hands produced.

It then exited the cave and magically climbed over the hill as if its hands had glue to grip the rocky surface and travel vertically. It then arrived before the mural and placed a hand on it, causing something to change in the place as something was sucked into it.

The Rupak almost lost balance as the Wind Qi in its body was getting expended at a massive rate. It seemed to be resisting against something just to remain in the place. Within a couple of breaths in time, the Rua completed its process as the entire area no longer had an eerie feeling.

It then clenched a hand into a fist as the mural flew up from the rocky ground and shrunk until it could be grabbed by one of the hands. If anyone told the palm-sized stone was once a rock that was twice her height, Re'Kha wouldn't have believed them.

Even after witnessing the scene, she was still unable to believe it. After holding the mural, the Rua carried both the mural and the Beast—Ras—in its hands and began to run away. Two of its hands acted like legs to allow its movement.

The Rupak immediately gave chase when suddenly, one of the Rua's hands pointed at it, emitting the same feeling as before, but in a condensed form now.

The Rupak's wings turned stiff as it lost balance in the air and began to fall. Though, thanks to its trait of being a body of wind, even after it fell on the hill, no sounds were produced.

The Rua seemed to be looking around in confusion as one of its hands scratched another before it turned around and sprinted away, heading east.

Unfortunately for the Rupak, it wasn't able to get up, slowly losing consciousness. The moment this happened, Re'Kha sighed, 'It got away.'

She stopped her horse, waiting in the place as she recovered her Water Qi reserves, soon switching to the wind element the moment she had 10 units, summoning the Rupak once again. It took off to the skies and soon arrived atop the hill, landing on the spot it fell unconscious previously.

It probed around in a couple of places while using its Wind Qi perception, soon touching a place where there was a body of wind, barely retaining any Wind Qi now. It was the Rupak she had summoned before.

Now, it lay as a corpse, not disappearing.

'Based on how it felt, that was definitely Fear Qi. Even the Rua only uses Fear Qi to attack and affect the terrain.' Re'Kha thought, using the Rupak to probe the carcass of the dead Rupak.

She noticed that it hadn't suffered too worse an attack that its body had been infused with Fear Qi. The ability to keep the Pranic Avatar materialised as corpses were only possible for the Ras. And, all the Rua did was accumulate all the Fear Qi the Ras in its arms produced and unleashed it onto the Rupak.

And, it also seemed to have unleashed the fear that it had been accumulating in the place. The moment it slammed into the Rupak, it was killed. If Re'Kha had been there, she too would have died immediately.

If it was a Harmoniser stronger than her, maybe they might have survived by expending all their Elemental Qi reserves. This was the reason a Pranic Avatar was heavily valued by Harmonisers. They could be used to probe around in numerous situations without consequences.

The Rupak scoured through the entire place, unable to detect the Rua anymore. Eventually, after failing to find any traces of it, the Rupak landed on the hilltop, grabbed hold of the dead Rupak, and flew away, returning to Re'Kha.

It dropped the dead Rupak on the ground and vanished. Its time was up. Through her probing, Re'Kha had already determined that there wasn't anything disastrous in the dead Rupak that might harm her. After all, there was still Wind Qi circulating in its body, despite its death.

If it didn't have any Wind Qi, Re'Kha might have been afraid it would cause her harm and would have decided to burn the corpse by using a Fire Qi Essence. But as the Wind Qi circulated, it meant there wasn't any Fear Qi in it to harm her.

Moreover, it wasn't as if she was vulnerable to Fear Qi. For weak concentrations, her eyes would absorb them. Only in cases where the fear was vast like in Gro Mining Village would she be overwhelmed.

Thinking as such, Re'Kha carefully folded the Rupak's wings and covered it with a piece of cloth before she tried to stuff it in her storage ring, only to find that there wasn't enough space. She then thought for a moment before deciding to carry it on horseback, for the time being, intending to place it within the storage ring once she had consumed enough supplies.

She then thought, changing the course of her travel while relying on the Wind Qi perception to navigate. After all, it was almost pitch black, due to a lack of light. Their world didn't have a moon after all.
