where he had met them earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader was still standing there, without moving an inch, despite the fact that its heard had been eleminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize for killing your herd,\" Adrian muttered as he stood before it, \"but my cat wants your core, would you be kind enough to hand it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«....» Noctis silently listened to its contractor’s words, fighting the urge to face palm....or was it face paw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the bull continued watching the two for a while before it finally stepped forward, releasing all its suppressed pressure as it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian’s eyes immediately widened as he felt the pressure hit him and he immediately realized how wrong he was on his initial guess about its rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the aura he felt from it was something akin to an A-Rank rather than B-Rank, his initial guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean that it was sharing its mana with its heard just to lower its danger level and attract foolish prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a lot smarter than I expected,\" Adrian said as the pressure continued pressing down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could keep himself standing, that took active effort, which wasn’t very ideal given that he was about to engage the thing in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull looked at him for a second z as if curious about why he wasn’t on the floor just yet, after all, it could sense that the pest before it was a lot weaker than it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pest was probably similar in strength of a bit higher than its former herd, so how come it was resisting such a pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A force suddenly slammed into Adrian, sending him backwards and crashing into a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even get the chance to register the attack before it landed, knocking the breath out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast had clearly used a gravity attack, but unlike the previous one he fought, this one’s attack was a lot heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«Incoming,» Noctis, now in the [shadow Vault], warned and Adrian immediately rolled out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second after he did, the ground where he was lying immediately caved, a large crater forming with in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian stood back up, but just before he could try switching places with his shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air warped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body slammed into the ground before he could react, his knees hitting first, then his palms, the force trying to crush him flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian forced himself to move just enough to trigger his ability and switched places with a shadow several meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t waste a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clone immediately stretched all the way towards the bull, before it suddenly transformed into multiple large spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spikes formed so fastz that it would be impossible for any other beast to react to, unfortunately,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was not like the other beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using just gravity to fight him, even when it had access to other elements was proof of that already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spikes stopped just before they could reach it, the air around them trembling as they tried to force their way towards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull then looked back up at Adrian who was standing in the distance and again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A force slammed into him again and his body flew through two trees before crashing hard against a third, causing the bark to splinter under the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—KGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision immediately went white and he landed back on the ground, right on his left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could’ve sworn he heard a crack from his left arm....which he did and by the way it was twisted at an unnatural angle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>«You cannot win this.»\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder who got me into this in the first place,’ Adrian replied, sarcasm ozzing from his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his good hand and stood back up, creating a makeshift cast with his shadows and wrapping it around the broken arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back towards the bull and realized one thing, the damn thing had no intention of killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had many chances to, but it didn’t take them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, it seemed the beast was amused by his struggles, or more accurately, it was amused at the fact that he hadn’t given up just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was used to baiting in preys and the moment they realize its true strength, they just gave up and accepted their fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this one, as small as it was, was standing up over and over again, which it saw as entertaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted to see just how far this pest can be pushed before it finally gave up and accepted its fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, for an overgrown cow, this one definitely was sadistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian continued looking at it, wondering how he would deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their level difference were so high that he had been the one getting ragdolled all this while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he hadn’t gotten the chance to land a single blow on the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There still remained the fact that it wasn’t truly trying else, he’d already be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all this, Adrian could only come to a single conclusion, he couldn’t beat this thing, not as he was right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t dumb enough to think that he would get a random power up the moment he was about to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, there was only one option remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian lifted his palm in the air, and a single shadow spike was formed, but this one was wrapped around an ice shard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Frozen Dark Rain]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shard left his palm and launched itself into the sky and to the beast’s surprise, multiple shards suddenly started falling from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lifted its head towards the approaching shards, but just before they could reach it, the were stopped midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast then looked towards the pest again, curious to see what it would show next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it looked towards Adrian’s position,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was gone, replaced by a shadow clone that looked at the beast for a second before getting dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bull just looked at the spot where the pest was before the shadow ice shards frozen in the air, caught fire and completely melted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It then turned around and heading towards its cave as if it hadn’t just lost a herd and the prey responsible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, the bull was certain that the prey would come right back, a lot more entertaining than it is now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it would calmly wait.\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-02T10:56:10.487Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea43c63061d98a4c996280dc9d410e4e9ec9a589f23de917c254682d7219f390","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-114","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-112",146,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-cover.jpg"]
