The next moment, everyone saw Caglis being knocked to the ground.
However, the Rock Shadow Beast with its forelimbs on his chest didn't make any further aggressive moves but instead raised its head, composed of a whole sharp rock, to look at Brand. Brand nodded, and the monster immediately stepped back.
"Approaching Black Iron Middle Rank!" Caglis said, rubbing his chest, "Isn't that ridiculous? This thing is almost catching up to your Obsidian Leopard, my Lord."
Brand nodded. He was very satisfied with the Rock Shadow Beast's abilities, which were close to the Black Iron Middle Rank, and it was even more valuable for having the traits of a semi-ethereal creature.
Semi-ethereal creatures can halve physical attacks, effectively doubling their Life Value. Moreover, their dexterity is significantly higher than corporeal creatures. Thus, although this thing's strength appears to be Black Iron Middle Rank at most, its combat power has already surpassed the Obsidian Leopard.
