The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 25 Learning ’Quick Draw’ Skill
?The cold wind was blowing, and the tree leaves were blowing everywhere. A young man with silvery hair could be seen practicing with a Talwar, attempting to cut the leaves as they fell from the tree.
After some time, he began to practice some basic Talwar movements. In a loop, he was making an infinity symbol. He was spinning the sword in circles, creating a loop.
After a while, Rishi realized he couldn't improve any further, so he summoned Sheru and asked him to find a level 5 magic beast.
After some time, Sheru approached Rishi and informed him of the presence of a level 5 magic beast. Rishi pursued Sheru and soon encountered a level-five magic beast.
Rishi practiced with it for a while and noticed that he was improving faster, so he decided to increase the difficulty and soon encountered a herd of magical beasts.
They all wore white fur and had claws, cat-like ears, and large canines. They resembled rabbits but with larger canines and bushy tails.
Rishi activated mode 2 of the 'inspect' skill, and a hologram appeared before him.

.........................
Rishi examined the ten magic beasts, one of which was a level 6 magic beast, and the others were level 4 and 5.
He approached them, pulling out his Talwar. The magic beasts noticed a human approaching them.
They became alarmed and began screaming 'screech.' They gradually encircled Rishi and began attacking him from all sides. Rishi defended himself with his Talwar.
He began using a combination of all the basic Talwar movements closer to his body, and he was surprised at how easily he had defended himself.
He began practicing using his weapon in a real fight. He jumped from one location to another, using the spinning movement of his Talwar to defend against as many attacks as he could, and eventually, he was able to protect himself cleanly even when attacked by multiple opponents at the same time.
He then improved his Talwar skill by relying less on stats and more on skill. He also attempted to use the 'quick draw' skill on the easier prey several times but failed each time.
Rishi had no idea, but he needed a final link that would allow him to perform the skill. Rishi has become accustomed to all of the attack patterns employed by the magic beasts. His training speed has also slowed, so he has begun to use all of his strength to complete all of them.
He then began looking for a suitable opponent, but he was unsuccessful. He had battled many magic beasts and was only one step away from reaching level 8. He was also nearing mastery of the 'quick draw' skill.
He came across a scaly reptile-magic beast while looking for a suitable opponent. It possessed large claws, a yellow body, and two tails. It appeared to be the ideal opponent for Rishi.
When he used his 'inspect' skill on it, a status window appeared in front of him.

Fire Ball: Use ten mana to attack the enemy with a fire attack. It deals five times the regular damage plus burn damage.
Rishi didn't need to know the magic beast's stats to realize how dangerous it was. By looking at his name, he could tell this magic beast was a well-known beginner magic beast due to its high stats and fire elemental abilities.
Its path of evolution The Two-Headed Salamander was also a well-known magical beast.
"Sheru, it's the same as the old rules: I'll fight it alone, and you won't attack it until you feel I'm in danger," Rishi said. "I need to get stronger if I'm going to fight with you." He said this as he rubbed the head of his contract beast. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Sheru hid in a bush and began carefully accessing the fight.
Rishi was about to approach the magic beast when he noticed it had a watery mouth as if it were looking at his food.
Rishi ignored it and drew his Talwar to combat it.
It first examined Rishi from head to toe to fully comprehend its opponent, then began to approach Rishi slowly and carefully.
Rishi approached it calmly as well, and they both got close. The magic beast attacked Rishi with a bite attack, followed by a tail attack from both of his tails.
Rishi easily avoided the bite attack and blocked the tail attack, but something unexpected happened: as Rishi stopped one of the magic beast's tails, it used the other while activating its 'tail whip' attack.
Rishi could detect and even block the attack with his Talwar, but the impact caused him to take two to three steps backward.
This caused the lizard to 'hiss' and launch a 'fire ball' skill at him.
This caught Rishi off guard, but thanks to his quick reflexes, he avoided the attack, which hit his left shoulder and threw him back a few meters.
Rishi suffered a 300 HP loss and a burn de-buff, which reduced his HP by 50 points for a few seconds. To regain his HP, he took out a potion and drank it.
The magic beast didn't give Rishi a moment to settle and attacked Rishi again instantly. This magic beast's biggest weakness was its stamina, and it knew it well, which is why it wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible.
Rishi defended it in agony and became hypervigilant; he didn't want to take the magic beast lightly anymore; he was serious now and didn't back down.
He used all of his strength to confront the magic beast. He exchanged moves with the magic beast, which resulted in him getting more injured.
After a while, Rishi noticed that the magic beast was becoming frustrated and wanted to end the battle quickly, so he predicted he would use his strongest move soon.
He was correct because as soon as he dodged its tail, it began to prepare for a big attack, which scared Rishi. After all, he had very little HP and was not able to take another attack.
He only had one chance to win this battle, and that was to finish this magic beast in one blow.
Rishi concentrated completely, and his passive skill, 'enhanced focus,' was also activated. He attempted to use his 'quick draw' skill, and this time he succeeded.
Rishi charged toward the magic beast, then used 'quick draw' he attacked it and then quickly put the weapon back in the sheath. A blur appeared at the location between his sheath and the magic beast.
The magic beast opened its mouth to attack Rishi, but just as it was about to launch a 'fire ball' attack, its face became confused, and its head fell to the ground.
Rishi sighed in relief as he looked at the severed head.
He then noticed that a new skill appeared below the active skill.
Quick Draw: use 10 MP to attack a magic beast with two times the speed of a normal attack.
He decided to practice this skill by himself to level it up as much as possible so that he would need fewer skill points to level it up to a higher level.
