“Roar!” The Raging Demon Bear charged at Daniel, who had never suffered such a loss in his life. He considered himself a dominant force; whatever food he desired was easily dealt with, and he had never encountered a worthy opponent. Who would have thought that he would be injured like this this time?
Listening to its powerful roar, Daniel realized that it didn’t even seem to have a scratch on it. Just as he was about to launch another fireball, his heart raced, and he quickly recited the incantation to generate a Flame Shield in front of him.
He saw the Raging Demon Bear suddenly unleash an invisible blade of wind that struck the Flame Shield. The Flame Shield trembled and ultimately vanished.
Daniel was taken aback; his Flame Shield had undergone several improvements and had strong protective power, yet it was shattered in one blow. If it got close enough to slap him, there would be no way out.
Just as he thought about it, the Raging Demon Bear lunged forward two steps and raised its massive paw to strike down.
Daniel hurriedly formed another Flame Shield. With a loud bang, the Flame Shield shattered like glass in Daniel's astonished gaze. Before the fragments could hit the ground, they transformed into specks of light and disappeared into the air.
However, the Raging Demon Bear had two paws; one was blocked, but the other came swinging down directly. Daniel quickly released another Flame Shield to block the bear's paw.
The Raging Demon Bear moved swiftly, alternating its two paws in rapid succession, striking more than ten times in the blink of an eye. Daniel also cast over ten Flame Shields, feeling frustrated enough to vomit.
Although the magical power consumed by each Flame Shield wasn’t much, casting so many in succession was exhausting. In just a moment, half of his internal magic power was depleted; if this continued, he would be completely drained.
Daniel hurriedly activated the Lightness Technique and flew far away until he was over a hundred meters from the Raging Demon Bear before stopping. Still shaken, he felt death had been so close for the first time.
This time he had been careless; no matter how one looked at it, the Raging Demon Bear possessed strength equivalent to a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, which was beyond his ability to confront directly.
Watching the pursuing Raging Demon Bear, Daniel steeled himself and conjured a Professor's Explosive Fireball in his hand.
Although the Raging Demon Bear had the strength of a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, it relied more on physical power and lacked outstanding spellcasting abilities. Most of its spells were close-range attacks with limited range, capable of hitting enemies only within about ten meters.
Waiting until they were only about fifty meters apart, Daniel finally threw the fireball. In a massive explosion, the Raging Demon Bear emerged from it mostly unscathed except for some charred fur.
Daniel couldn't help but frown; after holding back for so long, he expected that the Professor's Explosive Fireball would have significantly increased in power—at least 70 degrees—but it barely penetrated its outer layer. The Raging Demon Bear's defenses were truly formidable.
Without thinking much, he turned around and pulled back over a hundred meters, then prepared to cast Fireball Spell. When the Raging Demon Bear was fifty meters away, he unleashed another Fireball Spell.
He planned to kite the Raging Demon Bear to death; no matter how strong it was, it couldn't hit him from that distance. With one Fireball Spell, he would eventually wear it down.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the Raging Demon Bear suddenly roared in anger, swinging its massive paw. A blood-red claw shadow crossed the space and instantly appeared in front of Daniel.
With a loud bang, Daniel's heart raced. If it weren't for the Flame Shield he had on, he might have been killed by that strike.
Who could have imagined that the melee-oriented Raging Demon Bear could also have such long-range attack capabilities? He nearly fell victim to it.
The Raging Demon Bear let out an excited roar and unleashed more claw shadows. Daniel quickly retreated over a hundred meters away from it.
Listening to the Raging Demon Bear's triumphant cries, Daniel revealed a cruel smile. If it were an ordinary apprentice facing its attack range of fifty or sixty meters, they would truly be at a loss.
An ordinary Fireball Spell had an attack range of only about fifty meters, which might not even exceed its range. If he couldn't match its defense or attack, how could he fight back?
Such difficulties were nothing to Daniel. Long before he first improved the Fireball Spell, he had already considered how to deal with enemy attacks. So he had long since developed the Professor's Endless Ring, which was capable of attacking enemies from two hundred meters away.
Red flames gathered in his hand, forming intricate circles that concentrated the energy as much as possible. Because it was circular, it was less likely to dissipate and could travel further distances; this was also why it was called the Professor's Endless Ring.
Fireballs crossed over a hundred meters and struck the Raging Demon Bear, causing it to roar in fury. It jumped and bellowed in anger while unleashing blood-red claw shadows that spanned several dozen meters but only dissipated into nothingness.
The claw shadows could attack enemies fifty or sixty meters away, which was already quite difficult; as for one hundred meters away, it simply couldn't reach.
Under the relentless barrage of fireballs, blood soon seeped from the Raging Demon Bear's body, pooling on the ground until it nearly formed a river.
The Raging Demon Bear went from initially roaring with strength to low moans before finally collapsing to the ground.
Daniel continued to launch several more fireballs; the Raging Demon Bear merely grunted a few times and couldn't even stand up anymore.
However, Daniel remained undeterred as fireballs continued to fly out. In his line of sight, the chip had already given him a prompt: the Raging Demon Bear was indeed severely injured and unable to rise again.
However, secretly, his muscles were tense, trying to protect his weaknesses as much as possible, clearly preparing to fight desperately after he passed by. Daniel would not fall for this trick. Sure enough, after a while, the Raging Demon Bear could only helplessly stand up and let out an angry roar before charging at him.
However, it was useless; Daniel's speed was much faster than its. He casually took a few steps back to create distance and cast another Fireball Spell. In the end, the Raging Demon Bear could only fall helplessly to the ground, filled with resentment.
This time it lost in a way that was truly frustrating. It was attacked repeatedly by the enemy but couldn't even touch the enemy once, leaving its immense power nowhere to be unleashed.
It was unwilling!
A pair of leather boots stepped on the Raging Demon Bear's head. The bear grunted a couple of times before falling silent. It had long been bombarded by the Fireball Spells until it was barely alive, on the verge of death. There was no strength left to attack.
Daniel stroked his chin; such a powerful Raging Demon Bear was killed just like that, which felt somewhat regrettable.
The bear's fur had already been scorched to charcoal by its own attacks. Aside from its valuable hide, there was nothing else of use. Was he supposed to kill it for meat? He wasn't that extravagant.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly recalled the Slave Contract, which was recorded in his chip and could forcibly sign a contract with Magical Beasts to enslave them.
However, signing a Slave Contract required that the target's Mental Power be weaker than his own; otherwise, it could easily backfire.
The Raging Demon Bear possessed the strength of a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, and Daniel did not believe he could subdue it.
But killing it just like that felt too regrettable; Daniel hesitated.
After some thought, Daniel decided to try improving the Slave Contract. He had improved quite a few spells over the past two years; enhancing one more Slave Contract should not be a problem.
Information about the Slave Contract began to emerge in his mind as he organized it through his chip.
If I can improve it this way, it should work.
...
As long as I combine the Slave Contract with the Rending Spell and inscribe the Rending Spell into the Raging Demon Bear's brain.
As long as the Raging Demon Bear dares to rebel, it will be cursed by the Rending Spell until it is killed; this should work.
Thinking of it, Daniel simulated the modified Slave Contract hundreds of times through a chip, confirming that there was no way to escape after various attempts. Only then did he prepare to inscribe it.
At the critical moment, he suddenly remembered that he had no materials on hand; where would he find materials to set up the Magic Array?
However...
Daniel's eyes flickered as he directly used the blood of the Raging Demon Bear to inscribe the Magic Array.
The Raging Demon Bear possessed the strength of a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice and was an excellent material in itself. Using its blood for the inscription yielded great results.
It was just that this was somewhat cruel to the Raging Demon Bear. To turn it into a slave while also using its blood to draw the array was rather harsh.
As the magic circles were inscribed, the Raging Demon Bear sensed something was wrong but had no way to resist. Severely injured and barely clinging to life, it lacked the strength to fight back and could only allow Daniel to proceed.
When Daniel finally recited the incantation, a beam of spiritual light shone forth, and the Slave Contract was successfully enacted.
It seemed as if an inexplicable connection had formed between them.
After resting for a moment and recovering half of his magical power, Daniel cast several restoration spells and poured a vial of recovery potion into the Raging Demon Bear's mouth.
The Raging Demon Bear's injuries quickly healed significantly, allowing it to stand up.
At that moment, the previously quiet Raging Demon Bear suddenly let out a roar, standing upright and swiping its massive paw at Daniel.
Yet Daniel did not move; he merely smiled coldly as he watched.
Suddenly, the Raging Demon Bear's movements froze in mid-air as it clutched its head, curling up and howling in agony. Clearly, the effects of the Rending Spell had taken hold.
After a while, the Raging Demon Bear finally stopped convulsing and looked at Daniel with extreme fear in its eyes. With its limited understanding, it simply could not comprehend why such a situation had occurred.
Daniel raised his hand, startling it into stepping back two paces.
"The effect is quite good," Daniel said. "You've tasted the power of the Rending Spell. If you don't want to taste more, then do your job well for me."
"Roar, roar, roar."
"Speak human language."
"Roar, roar, roar."
Daniel shook his head helplessly. "I will ask you a question. If you agree, nod your head; if you disagree, shake your head. Do you understand?"
Raging Demon Bear nodded.
"Good..."
