"FIVE THOUSAND YEARS I'VE WAITED..."
"...I WILL MAKE THOSE LOW LIVES REGRET THE DAY THEY EVER WENT AGAINST ME." A deep ominous voice boomed, causing everyone to have goosebumps and their hairs to stand straight. Nux who was close to the being releasing the unfathomable pressure, couldn't help but eat dirt as his face was planted in the ground. He bones creaked and his blood circulation was reduced greatly, breathing became a serious problem, and his thoughts became muddled. "WHAT'S THIS?!!! YOU DARE TRY TO AWAKEN ME AS YOUR BEAST SOUL!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!" The being roared and began to release an intense bloodlust that assaulted Nux. Nux's body was buried deeper into the ground, his bones began to creak and crack slowly, causing him agonizing pain, he could no longer breath as his blood stopped flowing properly and his heart pace decreased. The being who was censored by a sinister veil of concentrated darkness, focused all of his pressure on Nux. 'If it wasn't for me not having my full power, I could have crushed this bug in seconds.' The being thought. 'Hades really outdid himself this time, how did this weak thing manage to awaken me? I need to kill him before I get sucked into his soul and forcefully become loyal to him, after that, maybe I'll pay Hades a visit.' Unbeknownst to Nux, he was about to get killed just because of his shitty luck. While the being was trying to end Nux's life, he was fighting back the pressure with sheer will power, not just his, but the body he resided in was also giving it's all. Even though Nux was in control of the body, the previous and true owner was still able to affect him in some ways, just like he did with his emotions the first time he met Mr Nicole. Nux was grateful, but was their resistance enough to contend with the being? The being might be weak at the moment, but it didn't change the fact that he was a God, a Deity a Celestial entity, though Nux didn't know that. Things were looking difficult, the God put his whole focus in Nux, freeing others from eating dirt. They got up speedily and retreated from the altar that was obscured by a black veil. Panic arose in their midst, and before they knew it, they were all running about like headless chickens. Why? Well... even they didn't know! Mr Nicole got to his feets with blood running down his temples, he had sustained an injury when he was forced down by the pressure. He wasn't the only one who was injured though, there where those who couldn't move and had to be carried off. Princess Emilia and Prince Naveen where no longer sitting idly in their comfy carriages as they weren't spared from the pressure either, heck they had it worse. Prince Naveen had ended up swallowing a Jade statue that he was scrutinizing when the pressure fell on him, while Princess Emilia had extremely hot tea spill over her and was forced to endure the pain because she couldn't move. They both came personally to the dark veil to inspect it up close. No one had witnessed this sudden turn of events ever before, things always went smoothly even when a Tribrid or a Chimera was born, but Nux –who Prince Naveen was beginning to suspect of having his beast equipment– was now causing a ruckus. "What's this excatly? Is it the work of the boys Beast Soul?" Prince Naveen asked. "We are just as stumped as you." Princess Emilia replied calmly. Right now, they had to drop their beef if both of them wanted to get what they wanted, Princess Emilia didn't want any form of unwanted disturbances in her kingdom. Even if she wasn't the queen yet, she was still going to face the inevitable consequences at a much later date. Prince Naveen on the other hand, had much more to loose. Naturally, he would have just secretly left the kingdom to collapse without batting an eye, but if his beast equipment –that he believed was in Nux's hand– was to get destroyed, he would feel the pain deep in his heart. Afterall, he had to do some unforgivable acts and pull some strings in the shadows, to get the Infinity Gauntlet to be made, and if he lost it, then he would not forgive himself. It was that serious. The commoners had eventually gone far enough to leave the range of the pressure completely and were beginning to calm, they didn't know why they had ran helter-skelter in the first place, but the smart ones figured out some things with their quick thinking. "It has to be that black dome surrounding the altar." A middle aged man said as he panted heavily. "I concur." Another interjected. "I suddenly felt like running as far away as possible from that place, but my rational mind was saying otherwise. I ended up not knowing what I was doing until I found myself running in circles." A woman said as she shivered with her daughter in her hands. "What kind of Beast Soul can cause such kind of serious mental attack." A man asked, mostly to himself. "Did anyone see the beast soul?" Unfortunately, they all shook their heads. Back at the once celebration filled gathering, four distinct figures stood around the dome of darkness. Mr Nicole, Miss Moraya, Prince Naveen and Princess Emilia. They had been standing around the dome for a while now without knowing what to do. They were still contemplating and formulating ideas on how to deal with the situation. "We can try to break it." Princess Emilia suggested. The Royal guards of the two royalties had been sent to calm the population down. They had also figured out that the dome had used mental attacks to make them loose their reasoning and start going bonkers. Mr Nicole replied with a deep low growl, as they turned to look at him, a towering brown colored golem with a club made out of compressed black rocks in its hands welcomed their sight. "Make way, let the big man do his thing." Prince Naveen commented with a light smile. Neither of the girls laughed at his joke, they were too serious to laugh at that moment. Mr Nicole in his golem form, raised his club high up, and with a mighty roar, brought it down with all his strength.Destructive shockwaves were sent out from the impact of the strike. The sound of the collision reached them and almost made their ears bleed.Miss Moraya conjured a barrier made out of roots that shielded her from the shockwaves. Prince Naveen and Princess Emilia utilized their own ways to block the force. Prince Naveen created a wall of metal, and Princess Emilia made a wall of ice.A loud scream of pain resounded from within the dome and it wasn't Nux's voice, so it definitely was his Beast Soul. They weren't in the right state of mind to realize that Beast Souls couldn't show emotions like pain even when they were at the point of death.Mr Nicole who had caused this, rained down attacks on the barrier with his club. The loud ringing sounds caused the air to vibrate and reach far distances, the commoners who had gone far away from the altar heard the loud noises and believed that a battle was taking place.It was a norm for some awakened to loose control of their Beast Souls and a
Nux immmediately got excited at the notion of finally wielding great power. He jumped from his bed and sat back like a child receiving a new toy, however, Mr Nicole's words made him calm down instantly. "It isn't as easy as you think... Nux. We make it look easy because we have years of experience and practice under our belt, we have been in situations that forced us to grow stronger and do things that we never thought were possible." Nux had a solemn expression on his face as he heard those words, he further reigned in his excitement and listened to Mr Nicole's next words. "Observe." Mr Nicole said and sat back. "Turn around." Nux did as told. He sat properly and twisted his body from his waist, so that his legs were not moving from their position, and when he turned, he yelped and fell off the bed in fright. Lo and behold, Mr Nicole's Soul Book was levitating in his face. 'When did he manifest his book behind me, I didn't even notice a thing.' Nux eyed the book warily. "I c
'The Infinity Gauntlet!!!' Nux thought. The gauntlet which he thought was lost or stolen, turned out to have become Soul Bound with him somehow. His heart began to beat loudly, Prince Naveen was going to kill him if he found out about it. But on second thought, he realized something. Slowly, his expression began to change from one of fright, to one of happiness. 'If Prince Naveen were to 'ask' me if I knew anything about the gauntlets whereabouts, I can deny it. But... can he force me to open my Soul Book and check it himself?' Nux began to ponder, forgetting that he was in the middle of a teaching. "Nux! NUX!! NUUUX!!!" Mr. Nicole made a chop on Nux's head, knocking him back to reality. "ARHHH!!" Nux was forced out of his train of thoughts when he felt his head get attacked by Mr Nicole's powerful chop. Mr Nicole gave him a stern stare and asked. "Did you find anything that you don't understand?" Nux paused, then shook his head while still massaging it. "Ok. Where were we?
After some hours of getting ready, Nux returned the Infinity Gauntlet to its place after checking it for the third time.He had wanted to change its name again after its appearance had been modified by some unknown force, but he changed his mind and made his way towards the living room.Nux nervously sat on a chair in the center of the room. Across him were four chairs that had three figures sitting on it while subconsciously releasing an aura of a leader from them. Unfortunately, that aura was immediately shattered by their behaviors."Hello." A cute looking lady with pink hair and eyes said with a wave. "I'm Mei Mei, a teacher and scout of the Limitless Sea Academy." She said while closing an eye and looking through a peace sign with the other eye.'Did she just?!?!! NO WAY!!!'"Von Sandals, of the Elemental Rulers Academy." A man with pupiless electric blue eyes said without any emotions behind his voice, sounding almost like a robot."And I am Tyrannio Zulon, of the Heavenly Brute
The Supreme Beasts Academy, one of the four great Academies that he had been told about by his parents. It was everyone's dream to join any one of them, not to even talk being invited personally by their upper echelons.Nux was at loss, he didn't know what to do in this situation as the four individuals stared him down, waiting for his inevitable reply."Can I know what each Academy has to offer?" Nux gulped, but didn't back out from the staring contest. They could intimidate him all they want, but if he didn't want to join them, then they could FUCK OFF! They were the ones who came to him, not the other way around."Oh Oh! Let me start!!" Mei Mei raised a hand and shook in her chair. Von, the pupiless man, rubbed his forehead and sighed."In the Limitless Sea Academy, we train the best of the best Mentalists, we have raised prominent figures in our empire over the years, and we will bring more with time. If you join us, we will bring out the potential of your Beast Soul and turn you
In a yard, Nux stood before the four scouts under the dark night. The two moons in the dark starry sky released their silver glow and illuminated the world.Arcana –the name which this world was called– had many beautiful landscapes. Nux had yet to go out to explore the world, so he wasn't aware of the beauty it held.'When I grow stronger, I'll do just that. But for now, I should focus on what's before me.' Nux thought to himself. The four scouts were about to put him up against an F Rank Stage One Beast.Beasts were ranked from F, all the way up to SS, and between those ranks, there were grades between them, starting from grade one to five, so the ranking list was like this;F – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5E – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5D – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5C – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5B – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5A – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5S – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5SS – 1>> 2>> 3>> 4>> 5Nux was about to face the weakest Beast of this world, and it just turned out to be a big black Bear with blue flaming eyes.'It looks j
'I did it.' Nux thought as he stared at his bloodied hands. He had entered a berserk state and ended up pummelling the bear into an unrecognizeable state.Nux cracked a smile and turned to look at the scouts, but was met with the image of a snow white Fox with charming pink eyes and three pink tails walking gracefully towards him.'Another one!!? I thought the Bear was the only beast I was going to battle.' Nux thought with a frown. 'Well, I'll just bea...'Nux was forced to swallow his words as the fox suddenly transformed from a tiny cute little animal into a humongous demonic black creature that seemed to have been summoned from the depths of hell itself.Its piercing red eyes stared him down, and it's overbearing superior aura pressed down on him, making him want to just fall on his knees and start worshiping it.'HUH!?!' Nux stared in shock, his legs felt like they had been turned into jelly, and the pressure, like a giant rock. The demonic creature slowly walked towards him and
Nux hand whipped through the air to intercept the beast, but it created a platform made from darkness, and changed its tragectory mid air. Nux was surprised by this, but he recoverd from his shock and sent out a round house kick at the kittens new position. His leg smacked the kitten and threw it back by several meters, it richocheted off the ground a few times and came to a stop in front of a mound of hay. Nux was getting used to his strength, and the ground that was covered with cobblestone made things worse for the unfortunate kitten, so it had taken a huge blow to it's health with that kick alone. Nux didn't outright charge at the kitten again, he had noticed the order of things by now. The first beast that he faced was a strength type beast. The bear had almost dominated him in speed and strength, and even its defences was terrific, but Nux's non-stop attacks had broken through it and inflicted enough damage that killed it. The second beast was a mental type. The Fox had
