Rio looked at the notifications in front of his eyes.

These messages confirmed that he had killed the most normal Stage Purple beast since Nyla was taking care of the king and mutated tier Shadow Viper beast.
In case a few came from another side it was easily dealt with by him.
Lucas barely got any kills since his strength was not that high and it wasn't a situation where Sophia or his teammates would be able to offer him the last hit so he could get the purple cores or beast souls.
They needed to finish the battle as soon as possible because more beasts could've come their way due to the scent of rancid blood in the air.
A total of four Normal Stage Shadow Viper Shuriken beast soul was gained by Rio and he collected seven beast cores, five normal and two mutated.
He injected his mana into the purple cores and the AI announced the boosting numbers of his purple stats points.

Absorbing these Shadow Viper Fox cores gave him 8 stats points, making it reach a total of 10.
"Everyone is stained in blood but you're all clean and don't even have a drop of blood. How did you do that, Brother?" Lucas asked in a surprised tone, looking at Rio who was busy reading the stats points.
Because of his Heaven's Eyes and higher physical points and mana, he was privileged to have a faster reaction time than others.
He was even able to see the droplets of blood that were going to fall on his teammates' bodies.
"Rio..." Nyla gazed at the crimson-haired boy with a lively smile as if she was cooking a mischievous plan.
"Don't even think about that," Rio warned her as he understood what she was scheming.
Nyla started walking in his direction slowly while her hands were spread with a devilish charm on her adorable doll-like face.
Rio started moving backward while looking in her direction. He said, "No...Nyla...don't...don't come closer..."
His clothes were all clean plus he didn't want to be tainted in blood so he tried to convince her to spare him.
"Come on Sister-in-law. Dye him with the same color as us." Lucas cheered from the side.
"Yeah...Nyla...go for it." Even Sophia was supporting her.
Nyla chased Rio as he started moving away from the campsite.
Their movement gained speed as they first ran normally but soon Nyla started using mana enchantment strength.
This caused Rio to also implement his mana to boost his foot.
The sunrise had already happening right now.
"We should follow them before they go far away." Sophia urged Lucas as they also sprinted in the direction of the duo.
The group of four left behind the battleground that was scattered with shadow viper foxes' corpses and enveloped with rancid blood.
The sun began to rise over the horizon, Rio and company leaped through the dew-covered grass of the forest,
The forest was awash in golden light, the radiance of the rising sun filtered through the leaves of the trees and cast a warm glow over everything.
The air was fresh and clean, the rustle of leaves in the gentle morning breeze.
Magenta-haired beauty chased after Rio, her heart pounding with excitement as she ran through the dense forest with a playful smile.
She was covered in purple stage beast blood, her clothes and skin splattered with the sticky red substance, but she didn't care.
All she could think about was catching Rio and dying him in the same color as her, no matter how much he protested.
The crimson-haired boy was the fastest, his mana-enchanted legs easily carrying him through the underbrush.
Rio turned his neck to glance over his shoulder, as he saw Nyla was keep coming closer to him.
"No, Nyla...Don't be mischievous!!" He warned her to stop.
"You can't escape me sweetie...I'll chase you forever..." The girl said with a jolly smile as she ran after him using higher Mana than before to enchant her feet.
Nyla reached out with one hand, her fingers flexing as she tried to grab hold of his shirt.
Rio noticed the advancement of approaching hands and dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding her grasp.
But Nyla was quick to follow as she lunged forward again, but in her hurry to catch him, she didn't see the tree root that lay hidden beneath the leaves as their speed was incredibly fast.
"Aeeh" She cried out in surprise as her foot caught on it.
The Magenta-haired beauty stumbled and started falling to the ground.
Rio turned at the shriek of her cry, his heart racing as he saw her falling.
'Ah...this girl...she will get injured by her own mana-enchanted body's impact.'
He used higher mana to enchant his feet, reaching out to catch her with all his strength.
He caught her by wrapping his hands around her body and got hit by the momentum as they tumbled to the ground together, rolling over and over by the law of inertia.
Rio tried to stable his balance and finally came to a stop but this caused something unexpected to happen as they were face to face, their lips touching one another.
Nyla's heart skipped a beat as she felt his warm lips on hers and looked into Rio's sea-green eyes which were widely opened with astonishment.
As it was already done and the dish was cooked, Nyla decided why not fully savor her scrumptious dessert.
She pressed her lips to his and kissed him gently drowning in the moment of bliss.
The shadow viper fox's blood had already stained his clothes and his soft heart was painted by the love of a young maiden.
Rio could feel her well-rounded melons crushing on his chest and her plumpy lips sucking his which was gentle at the start but became rougher as if wanting to taste every single bit of him.
A gush of hot energy rushed into his body as he used his strong hand to push her delicate figure away, the girl rolled to the side.
Her coyish eyes closed, and a satisfied bashful expression shone on her adorable face as if she was still enjoying the feeling of his warm lips.
Approaching footsteps were coming as Rio used his hand to clean his smooched lips.
The redness of her rosy lipstick tainted his sleeve as the boy cleaned the mark of love left by the vibrant girl.
Sophia and Lucas finally caught on them as they found Rio's cloth had been stained with blood and Nyla laying to the side alongside him.
"Did we come at the wrong time?" Lucas said, looking at the duo who were on the ground laying side to side in an almost intimate position.
Rio stood up to pat his clothes as if nothing happened and looked around to inspect his new surroundings.
He observed the forest with his [Heaven's Eyes], taking in his surroundings every detail.
The mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks shrouded in.
As he scanned the forest, his eyes came to rest on a hidden cave nestled among the trees. It was barely visible from where he stood.
***
'Ah... this feeling... we finally kissed... my heart feels as if thousands of butterflies fluttering their wings to rush out. I kissed my darling...his warm lips tasted like red wine that's making me intoxicated... ah... what am I thinking... I feel like wrapping myself around him and hugging him all day...but he might push me away... I just want to kiss his lips again...'
Nyla's mind was filled with colorful thoughts as her face was flushed.
'I pray to all the gods, angels, and all the higher beings that ever existed in this world to make me this boy's wife. Please heaven...'
She asked all the celestial beings of the universe to fulfill her wish.
The Magenta haired girl heard the approaching footsteps and collected herself but her heart was pounding so fast.
A hand hovered In front of her as Sophia gave her hand to Nyla who held it and stood up.
A beet-red shade could be seen around her neck and cheeks. Her Dummy had taken her first kiss mistakenly which filled her delicate heart to the brim with happiness.
She saw that the crimson-haired boy was gazing in the direction of distant trees.
Just then, Lucas walked up beside him.
"What are you looking at, Brother?" He asked, trying to look in the direction he was looking at.
Rio pointed in the direction of the hidden cave, "I just noticed that hidden cave over there. Fog is coming out of it."
