《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

After they headed deeper into the forest, Roan took out the jade slip with Frandin's Yang Energy Lightning Cultivation Technique to look into it. At the same time, he connected with Rean through their soul connection so that he could see it as well. After all, Rean was better at Yang Energy.
By using their techniques' knowledge from the previous world, the two modified the technique, adding a few small tweaks to it. They also asked Frandin's opinion over a few parts since he was the one who would use it.
Eventually, Roan passed it back to him as he said, "Try to use the technique now. Don't waste much time, though. You'll have to slowly cultivate it to get a better grasp on how to use Yang Energy. Nevertheless, that speed should be enough for you to apply in the next battles."
Frandin nodded as he responded, "Alright."
He sat down on the ground and began to replay his own cultivation technique in his head. At the same time, he looked at the new one, trying to see which parts he could keep and which parts he should change. The process was slow, taking Frandin almost two hours to finally start on his first attempt.
Immediately, Frandin noticed the difference between the two as he said with surprise, "Impressive! The technique I was using up to now really can't compare at all."
Lightning Element gathered around Frandin's body much faster than before. On top of that, he wasn't using Yang Energy yet. Rean and Roan weren't surprised, though. Frandin came from a somewhat small city and power, so it was obvious that he didn't have such high-level techniques there.
Frandin didn't lose his concentration as he said that, though. After all, what he was looking for was Yang Energy as the result of the new technique. Of course, that was the hard part, so it took him a few more hours to finally grasp a sliver of it. Frandin controlled that small bit of Yang Energy and used it with his Lightning Element and Soul Power. Sure enough, the power didn't increase that much, but it was as expected since he only accumulated a small bit of it. Calina and the others, for example, accumulated Yin and Yang energy inside their bodies for use at a later time. Frandin didn't have a chance to do that.

Seeing that Frandin succeeded, Roan added, "This planet is quite bad for Yang Energy users. It's fully covered in snow most of the year, after all. However, there are places with rich Yang Energy, like volcanoes, for example. If you get the chance, you should try and cultivate near one. Until then, take your time to slowly draw Yang Energy from the surroundings."
Frandin nodded as he replied, "I understand what to do. I will have to use my Yang Energy, even if I only have a bit of it. That isn't totally bad since it'll give me time to slowly get used to it."
Roan then turned around and began to walk away. Frandin quickly followed after seeing that. It had already been half a day, but Frandin didn't have the chance to fight a single demon beast. It was obvious that Roan was using Rean's concealing skills to keep him safe during that time.
Still, he thought, 'With this pause, I can already imagine how crazy the rest of the training days are going to be.'
Sure enough, As soon as Roan encountered their first Stage Four Demon Beast, he launched himself at it while giving Frandin orders.
'Those three demon beasts following this guy are yours.'
Frandin bitterly smiled as he looked at the companions of the Stage Four Demon beast. One of them was at the Initial Stage Three level, while the other two were in Peak Stage Two.
Fradin couldn't back down anymore, though. Roan was obviously fighting the strongest demon beast, which was already equivalent to a Middle Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator, alone! He wasn't using Rean's Light Element to help himself at all. Frandin had no excuses to back down against much weaker ones. Then again, they were still very strong for a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Zasfin like him.

'Let's try the first skill in that technique.'
Lightning Element accumulated around Frandin's spear together with his Soul Power acting as a guide. However, Frandin was also driving his own Yang Energy inside the spear, making it stronger.
Following that, he shot forward!
'Raging Bolt!'
With great speeds, he appeared right in front of the Stage Three Demon Beast, forcing it to stop its harassment against Roan. It was still a Stage Three Demon Beast, though. In other words, it had the same strength as an Early Stage Core Formation Realm cultivator.
*Boom!*
Both Frandin and the demon beast retreated due to the shockwave of their clash. Frandin's hand went numb as he thought, 'Such hard skin...'
Nonetheless, his attack was not in vain. It also attracted the attention of the Stage Two demon beasts, which was part of the plan. The three, sensing that Frandin was also dangerous, immediately pounced at him simultaneously. The only problem was that Frandin was at a disadvantage against those demon beasts from the very start.
Frandin gritted his teeth as he thought optimistically, 'I'm sure he chose these demon beasts on purpose!'
It turns out that they were battling a demon beast called a Mountain Crumbling Bull, a strong Earth Affinity demon beast. For Frandin, who used the Lightning Element, they couldn't be worse opponents. His attack barely left any damage on the Stage Three Bull, while his Lightning Element had little to no effect against it. Last but not least, he was behind in cultivation.
Frandin was right. Roan was in a crazed fight against the Stage Four leader of this small group. However, he also paid attention to Frandin as he thought to himself, 'Hmm...it seems like he's still holding back. Perhaps I chose something too weak for him to battle against.'
If Frandin heard that, he would cry. He was already suffering as it was, and Roan still thought that he had things easy. Then again, Roan had his reasons to think like that. Frandin might not be able to cause much damage to the demon beasts, but he wasn't getting hurt either. Frandin had really come a long way to be able to keep up with fighting three enemies at once while his cultivation was lower than theirs.
And just like that, the battle continued on this side with no time limit whatsoever. Then again...it was just the beginning.

Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends
In the civilized world of humans, 'monsters' have all but passed into legend. But when something goes bump in the night, when people begin to disappear, when a dark mystery begins to haunt even the most peaceful villages, there is only one organization to turn to: the Hunters. The Venatori. Having lived a life of discipline and service, former soldier Caiden Voros finds something even worse than the wars of humans: the monsters that hunt them. Horrors yet unknown even to him and his many scars await in the claws, talons, fangs, and mysterious powers of creatures so far beyond humans that he must dedicate himself entirely to the art of slaying them. Harboring a secret of his own and in a constant struggle to find answers while maintaining his sanity, however, Caiden begins to ask the age-old question... Who is truly worse, the monsters or the Men? Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends is an episodic collection of stories, each of which stand on its own, but they also build upon each other in a consecutive order, bridging a gap between a novel and short story collection. These stories follow monster hunter Caiden Voros and his partner Gwen Vergil as they embark on tales of mystery, horror, and adventure to track down monsters - the living dead, beast-men, shape-shifters, spirits, and many more - that would do harm to innocent lives and, by whatever means necessary, put a stop to their terrors. Their motives, however, are not always what they seem.

They felt the golden dust of their divinity drift away from them, and the message of that wind became clear… This Winter will never end so that the Earth will.
