Chapter 192: Nyla's Innate Skill
The laughing alligator beast was completely intoxicated by the effect of this gas and seemed to be in a state of pure joy and happiness.
"it's so cute..." Nyla couldn't help but smile at the sight, as she started to find this beast adorable, gazing at their action.
"You won't say the same if you meet this beast in the day. Prepare yourself to kill this beast before it runs into the water again." Helia brought her out from her fairytale as she told her.
Soon, they noticed more laughing alligators coming out of the lake which was away from this one. Those beasts traveled for a dozen of meters away from the water pool before acting the same way as if they heard a hilarious joke and started rolling on their back with smiling faces.
"Nyla, we will take one-one each," Rio said in a calm voice, as he left the first laughing alligator for his beloved wife and traveled towards another one in the distance.
The magenta-haired beauty wanted to protest as she knew they basically came to this place for him so he could unlock his next spell but she saw the boy teleported away from her and was already nearing the beast that was sixty meters away from the laughing alligator in front of the girls.
Rio summoned his silver-blood sword, enchanting it with Thunder as the sharp blade buzzed with a cracking sound. His figure disappeared from his place as he stabbed the intoxicated laughing alligator's head with his weapon.
A notification played in his mind, confirming his successful strike.

As soon as the beast stopped guffawing and rolling around on the ground, a dark liquid flowed out of its body that dyed the ground black as if the creature's blood and a blue gas started coming out from its neck, spreading and enveloping Rio's figure in its embrace.
'Ah... It's the laughing gas.'
It was already too late to avoid the aftereffect of killing the beast as the boy was drowned in a tingling sensation that engulf his arms and legs.
The felt euphoria rising inside him as he was very light headed but despite all this, he didn't burst into laughter as Helia described previously.
A small beast core of laughing alligator beast formed near its corpse, the boy saw it vanishing in thin air as Eve took it shamelessly, knowing it was for her.
He came out of the blue shade as the boy saw Helia and Nyla looking in his direction and waiting for the laughing gas to show its effect that didn't happen.
The boy just appeared right beside the girls, using [Devlin's Movement Technique] which caused them to come out of their surprised state.
"Does the laughing gas no longer works?" Helia mumbled in puzzlement as she saw the boy was completely normal and unaware of how he was feeling internally.
Rio just shrugged, thinking inwardly, "If I'm not wrong my spiritual power should be higher than most people since I also have an eye type innate skill just like Wifey."
He had already figured out what could be the reason for him to be able to negate the effect of laughing gas but he was only half correct as The boy forgot his miraculous [Heart Sutra] That kept him calm and managed his unnecessary hormones from going berserk.
"You should get into action," Helia instructed and indicated Nyla to make a move as she saw her adopted sister was already behind Rio even though she was a black-stage warrior
Nyla stepped forward towards the beast as she stood at the center of a clearing, the moon casting a silver glow upon the forest around her.
With a fierce determination in her eyes, she raised her hand and summoned her beast soul. A long black spear materialized, the weapon glinting in the moonlight and the sharp tip seeming to glow with an inner light.
Rio watched calmly but an amazed emotion flickering in his eyes as a swirling yellow fire started dancing around the young maiden, her true power on full display.
The blazing yellow fire that surrounded Nyla was unlike anything Rio had ever seen before as this looked more terrifying than the last time she used it when they fought the Giant shadow viper fox. It seemed to be alive, responding to her every movement, swirling and pulsing in time with her heartbeat, roaring like a dragon.
He had long suspected that Nyla's innate skill lay in her control of this special yellow fire, and seeing it in action once again just confirmed his suspicions as the girl was using it even when she reached the black stage and it was even more spectacular as well as powerful now.
The weapon she was holding was upgraded from her purple beast soul after she advanced to the next rank as the girl was holding a black-stage long spear.
Nyla twirled the spear, the flames following its movements like a living thing. With a fierce cry, she thrust the weapon forward, and the fire surged toward the laughing alligator who was rolling on the ground with a smiling face.
The Alligator burst into flames, the fire spreading quickly and engulfing the body in a raging inferno. A yellow fire was burning its body as the beast was suffering in blistering torture, causing a look of discomfort and agony spread on its face as it shrieked in pain.
The beast rolled around to get on its four paws as it glared at the girl in front of its body. Its eyes filled with torment and hatred as if the beast wanted to chew the girl alive.
