Chapter 149: The Elemental Beast.....
"Are you sure it's okay to leave him alone with that elemental beast?" Brenda asked, her voice trembling with worry. Though they couldn't see inside the towering walls, the deafening crashes and roars told the tale of an intense battle.
"Haven't you noticed?" Hex's gaze remained fixed on the walls. "That kid is special... As much as I hate to admit it, he's the strongest person here. He's the only one capable of taking down that beast."
The others exchanged uneasy glances, nodding in silent agreement. Brenda bit her lip, her eyes glued to the towering barrier, while Hex's fingers twitched, itching to see the outcome.
"Could it really be the Crown Prince?" Captain Bofan wondered.
In Eos, Awakened individuals like Nox were categorized by their strengths—some possessed high mana reserves and durability, while others excelled with deadly skills despite weaker health and mana pools. It was a balancing act.
The youngest Prince was always rumored to belong to the weaker category of Awakened, his power lying in his skills, not his endurance. But Bofan couldn't shake the feeling—was this really him, disguised in plain sight? No one else his age could fight like that. No one else could strategize so coldly. Everything pointed to the truth... but if it was him, what was he doing here?
Meanwhile, inside the towering walls, the elemental beast was beginning to grow uncomfortable from the heat generated by numerous pits of lava strewn across the battlefield.
Its skills—Ice Hurricane and Frigid Expanse—were currently on cooldown.
The only skill the beast could rely on in this situation was Avalanche Stomp and its ice manipulation.
As the beast attempted to freeze the bubbling pits of lava, clouds of smoke rose into the air. Nox acted swiftly. He raised his hand, dark energy surging through his veins to his fingertips, and unleashed another attack.
"Shadow Oblivion!" he shouted, releasing a torrent of destructive power. The blast hit the elemental beast with a violent crack, sending chunks of its icy flesh scattering into the air. Before it could recover, he unleashed another blast, then another, each one more devastating than the last. The beast's form was disintegrating before his eyes.
Yet every time, the beast's skill Glacial Resilience came to its rescue. However, Nox noticed that the beast was taking longer to regenerate due to the presence of the lava pits.
The skill [Glacial Resilience] thrived in cold environments. Now, the atmosphere was a mixture of both cold and warmth, making the regeneration process much slower—a deliberate strategy by Nox.
He knew it would be easier to defeat the elemental beast if its regenerative skill slowed down. Since it only worked faster in cold environments, Nox had brought heat to the battlefield.
Nox sensed a turning point in the battle. The lava pits' heat was slowing the beast's regeneration, making it vulnerable. His heart quickened with excitement, not fear. He saw a chance to end this.
"This is it," he thought. "Just a little more." this-chapter-is-MVLeMpYr
Taking a deep breath, Nox raised his hand and unleashed Shadow Oblivion again. The attack's raw power sent dark energy waves crashing into the beast. He wouldn't hold back now, not when victory was so close.
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
With each blast, the icy landscape became increasingly unrecognizable, resembling a testing site for bombs back on Earth.
Seeing these dark blasts, the creature didn't simply stand idle as Nox's attacks rained down upon it. It tried to shield itself from the onslaught, but it was futile.
After a while, Nox glanced at his Mana points and felt a pang in his heart.
120/620.
At most, he could only use Shadow Oblivion one more time. The beast's energy, akin to its health points, had decreased considerably. He weakly raised his finger and aimed at the towering ice colossus that stood eight meters tall.
Those blue eyes stared back at him, the previous glee replaced by fear and desperation to survive. The beast was too weak to move its limbs. It couldn't believe it was about to lose to a mere Level Fourteen.
If the beast had known, it wouldn't have used its Frigid Expanse skill that night. Perhaps it could have frozen everyone and gotten rid of them for good.
All because the yeti-like beast wanted to push itself to its limits and gain enlightenment, it had purposely placed its most powerful skills on cooldown.
While the beast regretted its life choices, a screen that only it could see glimmered to life before it.
[Ding! You have successfully completed the last requirement: Enlightenment trial.]
[Enlightenment Through Trials: The Frostfang Yeti must undergo a series of rigorous trials known as the "Path of the Eternal Frost." This involves facing and overcoming hundreds of Awakened entities, each presenting unique challenges. Each trial tests the Yeti's ice powers, mental fortitude, and strategic acumen, pushing it to achieve a higher state of enlightenment.
By conquering these trials, the Yeti will transcend its current form, unlocking the profound wisdom and strength required to evolve into the Eternal Glacier King. Incomplete » Complete ✅]
The elemental beast froze upon seeing the awaited message. It was finally here! With this, the beast could change the tide of the fight!
[Would you like to evolve into the Eternal Glacier King?]
Another message appeared.
Nox's face paled. A message appeared before him, a new update in the beast's information on his retina. Focused on the elemental beast's weakness, he had overlooked the evolution requirement amidst the intense battle. It wasn't his fault; he simply hadn't had time to decipher the cluster.
The elemental beast's massive form shuddered as it selected the evolution option. Its icy skin began to glow, not with the familiar cold blue, but with a radiant, blinding pulse. The air around it vibrated with power, the temperature dropping further as ice crystals formed in the air. The beast's body expanded, muscles shifting beneath its frozen exterior, growing stronger and more imposing.
A shockwave of raw power followed, hitting Nox like a wall and forcing him back. For the first time in the fight, the beast seemed to be transforming into something far more dangerous.
With panic rising in his chest, Nox shouted at the top of his voice, his arm shaking as he aimed at the beast. "Shadow Oblivion!"
Before the elemental beast could successfully evolve, the dark blast engulfed it, exploding it into countless fragments. In that last moment, a defeated look crossed its face; the beast nodded slightly towards Nox before its body exploded into fragments.
Having depleted his mana, Nox collapsed to the ground. Several messages flashed in his retina, confirming the beast's demise. Exhausted, he was tempted to lay back and sleep, but the glowing blue crystal lay just inches away, ready to be picked up.
