Cosmic Peak

After making preparations about quests, he asked a stranger if there was any beast tamer here and found there was indeed a beast tamer hall in this town.

After going to the beast tamer hall and asking the price to hatch the S-grade Egg he got, he smiled weakly and left.

'damn...twenty thousand gold coins to hatch the egg in one day?' Aren thought while shaking his head, 'It looks like I will have to collect more golds for this as well. But I'll do it at a different place as I will move according to the plan I made.'

After leaving the Beast tamer hall, he left the town and started flying in the north direction. The nearest quest was located in Furjin's mountain that was fifteen kilometers away according to the marks he made on the map by reading the details in the quests.

[Quest: Crystal Feathers.]

<Objective>

--> Kill Crystal Feathered Hares in Furjin's mountain and collect their crystal feathers.

-->Collect a total of 20 intact crystal feathers.

<Reward>

-->580 gold coins.

-->Two uncommon Agility boost potions.

According to information, the crystal feathered hares were not dangerous, but...they lived in a hazardous environment filled with other powerful beasts and monsters. The Furjin mountain was such a place, a hazardous one.

Aren had put both of his spirit stones in his pocket as they gradually recovered their energy. His spirit energy pool was also recovering its energy as he flew among the clouds on his sword.

'If I can create a full-body Articule gear of armor-type, then my flying maneuverability will increase by a few notches. After all, if I wear an armor that I can fully control myself, I can move my body with extreme precision,' Aren thought with a bit of excitement as he was looking forward to making such armor.

Although he would need a lot of materials for that, Aren had decided that his next goal is to make a full body armor-type Articule gear.

'Should I open that blueprint box now or wait for a luck-increasing chance to open it together with Armalist box?' Aren fell into thought for a moment before he decided to be patient with it.

"I'll wait...There's bound to be some luck-increasing aspects in this magical world," Aren muttered while flying. He was not going at full speed right now since he wanted to recovery spirit energy in his spirit stone.

One thing that Aren liked was that after coming back from his near-death experience, he was healed by Klen and purified by Cerity's mystical purifying lightning, which ended up increasing his mental strength slightly and removing all of the fatigue that he had accumulated by staying hidden at Blood spring valley.

He had almost spent two days with high-tension, especially when he was creating his first articule gear. But Klen's healing and Cerity's purifying lightning benefited him, so he didn't need to sleep now and could continue with his adventure to get powerful.

With his current mental strength, Aren felt that he could go without sleeping for 3-4 days, so he wanted to finish these twelve quests before leaving the Wild Expanse and having a good sleep in the highway hotel of that elder.

...

After an hour, he finally reached the Furjin mountain. The mountain was huge and also very tall, approximately eight thousand meters tall. Snow and frost filled this mountain and the whole area surrounding the mountain as well.

"Legendary mountain? So even some mountains have grades," Aren muttered because when he focused on the mountain, he got some information because of his Astral-X eyes.

[Frost Devil Furjin Mountain]

-Grade: Legendary.

-Note: Many years ago, this whole mountain was contaminated by a legendary frost devil who died here. His residue power mutated many spirit beasts and other lifeforms as well.

He descended on the mountain but not at the very top since he saw some flying beasts there and didn't want to attract their attention. So, he descended to the middle of the mountain, specifically three thousand meters altitude from the base of the mountain.

While descending, he activated the<Chemo Mask> skill and sneakily flew at the ground-level on his sword while muttering, "it's really cold here, but not the same cold as I felt on Earth. It's like the clothes I wore have no effect of blocking this cold from affecting my body."

[Your movement speed and flying speed is decreased by 10% while you are in the range of this mountain. Your frost resistance is reduced by 10%.]

[Note: you have -10% frost resistance. You will take 10% more frost damage and will be more prone to cold and frostbites.]

"Great," Aren muttered, but he was determined to finish the task here as quickly as possible and without wasting time on taking other needless risks.

After three minutes of sneaking forward in the mountain, he saw a deadly frost bear with frost armor covering its body and deadly frost claws.

[Frost Plated Bear]

-level: 41

-grade: B

-lifeform: Supreme-2

-bloodline: Frost Devil Earth Bear.

-Health: [11,200/11,200]

-Defense: Physical [2300] Energy [2100].

-Attack: Physical [7400] Frost [7900].

-Note: Weak against fire, lava, and hot powers.

Because of the < Chemo Mask> skill, the bear hadn't noticed Aren yet. So Aren continued moving behind the bear's back.

The bear was standing and looking in the other direction. There was also a cave beside the bear, probably its home.

However, Aren suddenly paused because he saw a Crystal feathered hare coming out from the cave that was right beside the bear.

"Nice," Aren muttered as he took out his chakram before making a plan in his mind about executing the bear as fast as possible.

'Aember magic energy using soul energy will give significant damage boost to the chakram. On top of that, I will use the <Demonic Flame, Zarkhel> ability and also use the <Hyper Charge> skill which will increase the damage of the chakram even more since it would enhance both Demonic Flame and Aember magic energy. On top of chakram's own damage and its perk, which will increase the penetration aspect of all powers on it by 20%, I should be able to one-shot that bear,' Aren rapidly thought before he made the decision and attacked.

*Swizzzzzzzz...*

The chakram wrathed in dark-purple flames along with magical red and orange sparks flew towards the bear's neck while spinning rapidly.

The bear sensed danger and even turned around, but the chakram had already hit its neck, and after a second of resistance, its neck flew away.

[-13,570]

"Great," Aren grinned as he finished the task flawlessly. The bear couldn't even let out a single sound before it died. He consumed 100 soul energy and 100 Aember mutant magic energy. He had already found that if he invoked mutant magic energy using his soul energy, It becomes very potent.

"Time to harvest the feathers."
