Nux slid between the Shark King's leg and popped back up to his feets, then he turned around and kicked at the spot behind it's knees with force.

Though it might be heavy, sturdy and incredibly strong, weakness were still weakness.

The Shark King, the name Nux had decided to call it, buckled from the kick and almost went on its knees, but before that happened, it straightened itself back up like a spring, and smashed the ground behind it's body with it's tail

Nux weaved out of the way and punched at its knees again, aiming for the same leg.

This process repeated itself until Nux felt that his plan was ready. The creature, in it's rage, spat out flames again, and this time, Nux let it hit him.

The Shark King seeing Nux fall to his knees got more confident, and it's took heavy steps forward, making sure Nux was at the hottest parts of the flame.

'A little more...' Nux thought, waiting for the Shark King to get closer.

Nux's Fire Immunity was passive, so he couldn't turn it off...

    Nux could see several Red/Black Runes floating around the his right arm. They moved in accordance to his arms movement, as if they were attached to it in someway. It should be known that Nux and the Shark King were both standing with their hands raised up. One was pushing and the other was pulling, and because of this, Nux hadn't seen his arm in time and didn't notice those Runes until now. 'Those are definitely Flames, I'm sure of it!' Nux claimed. 'But what Variant are they?'Nux's mind spun, and his thoughts flowed from one point to another. He thought back to how he had gotten the Arm Of Finality to actually be his arm. Natalie had explained to him that his body was filled with a red fog, and was deconstructed, before being rebuilt. He thought back to how his shirts were destroyed when he tried to put them on, and he thought back to the Apostle of Destruction's rusty Red armor. 'Are they perhaps, Variant Destruction/Fire Runes?'

    "Were...were am I?"Grabbing his head and trying to seat up, Nux reeled and fell back to the ground with a loud thud, earning him more pain to his already battered body.He glanced at his hands that was slowly being healed and sighed."So that vampire actually killed me huh? It didn't feel nice to have my blood being drained out of my bo... WAIT!!! MY HANDS ARE HEALING!!!" Nux exclaimed in shock. Indeed, his hands were healing at a frightening speed, and on a closer look, he realized that his beerbelly that he usually sported was no more. His skin was pale and a long blue hair kept blocking his view from time to time, annoying him greatly. After a while, he was able to sit up and access the situation properly. He felt different, as if he wasn't himself, and by himself he meant his bodily structure. He was known to be fat, too fat for his age even. But his pale skin, lithe body and blue hair that kept annoying him were new to him.Getting up to get a good look, a sudden headache ass

    Nux stared with shock at the look alike of the Infinity Gauntlet. Why was it so similar? If it actually was the Infinity Gauntlet, did that mean that there were Infinity Stones somewhere in this world? Who was this prince that was meant to be given this Treasure? It has to be Prince Naveen right? Did he have some of the stones already? What were his intentions? Nux didn't have any answers to any of the questions he asked himself, he just kept staring at the wooden interior with his mouth agape . "I have to take this back with me, I can't give it to that prince if I don't want Aragoth to fall. The wars between the Empires might escalate anytime soon and that prince might just be a traitor, he has a bad reputation anyways, so who would trust him with this kind of weapon. Sigh!! I suddenly feel stupid for trying to actually find a way to give the prince the gauntlet, why didn't I realize that it was Prince Naveen, there isn't any other prince in the next kingdom.

    With his eyes fluttering open, Nux woke up to the sound of water pouring, and the sound of a clothing being squeezed. He looked to his side and saw the delicate, smooth and unblemished hands of a woman move to his head. He tried to resist, but he was too weak to even lift a finger. He felt numb, and cold too. Soon, he felt the clothing rest on his head, a warm feeling washed over him, he felt his eyes clearing and feeling return to his body slowly, then he began to feel his fingers twitching.He opened his eyes finally to see a hand resting on his head and releasing a warm green glow, the hand obscured the person's face, but he could make out the details of a feminine figure.The hands resting on his head had two bead jewelries on them. He saw the clean off-white silk clothing worn by the woman and tied by the waist with a beautiful root like rope. At the neck, the cloth was parted to reveal large cleavages that he definitely knew were as soft as marshmallows. The parted area of th

    "Nux, how are you feeling?" Mr Nicole asked with a smile on his face. Mr Nicole had tiny, almost unseeable wrinkles at the sides of his eyes, a beard that circled around his mouth and aligned with his side hair, brown hair that was short and combed smoothly, a pair of thick glasses, and had by his side, a cane. Nux couldn't see how tall he was because he was seated, but from the bodies memories, Mr Nicole was a tall man with ripped muscles. "I feel better." Nux replied, before his facial expression changed to one of overwhelming sadness. "Although, I don't think I'm okay, mentally."Mr Nicole sighed. "Come take a seat." Nux did as told and sat down on a soft chair situated opposite Miss Moraya."Do you want to talk about it?" Mr Nicole asked calmly. Nux replied by shaking his head lightly, still with the sad smile. "Tea?" An outstretched arm entered his view. Nux looked up and saw Miss Moraya with a cup of tea stretched to him, he smiled and accepted it.Nux took whiff of the tea a

    Inside a carriage moving steadily through a steep mountainside, Nux sat inside, meditating under the strict gaze of Mr Nicole. They –Mr Nicole and Miss Moraya– had agreed to take him to the capital to awaken his Beast Soul. Nux had rejected at first, wanting to see his mother first and foremost, but unfortunately, she was far away. If he were to travel to where she was, it would take him days just to get there, then another few days to come back, and by the time he returned, the program for the Beast Soul awakening would be over and he would have to wait till the next year. Mr Nicole wasn't having any of his tantrums, so he had literally whooped his ass, then shoved him in the carriage to begin his journey to the capital.Though nux was infuriated, there was nothing he could do about it, it was for his own good anyway. On the way, Mr Nicole taught Nux several battle related topics, mostly combat. He explained that he was making his foundations strong, and giving him a higher chanc

  • Supreme Beast: The Book Of Souls   The Capital

    Nux put on his clothing, a blue shirt and black trousers with blue boots.Mr Nicole seemed to know what fit him because he came out looking extra handsome. His silky smooth blue hair cascaded down his back and reached his waist. Although it was tied back with one of Miss Moraya's root like rope, its beauty was still visible to all.Nux walked side by side with Miss Moraya, trying his best to avoid Mr Nicole who was still clearly mad at his earlier action.They walked through the streets that were bustling with people moving about. Mother's walked with their children in their hands as they pointed excitedly at different things that greatly resembled toys from his world.Fathers had their kids sitting on their shoulders and their wives smiling charmingly by their side. Miss Moraya was smiling too, though for a reason he wasn't sure of.As he walked, memories of the body he resided in surfaced and he remembered 'his' childhood, how he and his parents spent the holidays in the capital, b

    Nuxs ears perked up at those words and a wide hideous grin crept up his face, scaring those around him away. "Finally." He said. He turned around and sped towards Mr Nicole who was already heading in his direction. They met half way and walked to the center of the gathering where an altar stood. The altar was carved out of a black stone, its circular edges were smooth and had red rubies embedded in it. Mystical carvings were etched onto its surface and filled with what looked like liquefied rubies, though it looked more like blood. At the center, there was a smooth circular table carved out of the same black stone, with a red skull sitting menacingly on it. The skull had the same shape and size of a Human's, but on the sides of its head, there were two pitch black horns protruding from it. Its eye sockets were like two abysmal black holes that sucked in any form of light that reflected in it. Its black teeths were sharp and beast like, and from its mouth, a dark miasma was cons

    Shark King

    The Shark Queen glowed brightly as the Red and Gold rocks entered her body. The light turned so blinding Nux had to squint his eyes. The phenomenon occuring was one he hadn't seen before, and he therefore didn't know if it was dangerous or not. He considered retreating and reporting his sightings to Master Joe, but something in his mind was telling him to stay, and so he did. The Shark Queen let out a loud noises one last time and suddenly exploded. The explosion wasn't destructive, and the shockwaves, flames and rocks that shot out did little to no damage.Nux stood all through the explosion, only his pants and long black hair ruffling while he stood unmoving. When the explosion was almost over, all the particles, rocks, flames and whatnot that were pushed back by the explosion suddenly paused midair, as if time was stopped, and they began to flow in reverse, going back towards the origin of the explosion.Now Nux was truly intrigued. The fire first condensed to form a humanoid f

    Nux stayed shocked for just a second before he acted out, punching out and shooting flames around. The Orange flames lighted up the cave for a second, and he was able to see around, giving Nux a vague idea of where he was. He wasn't a hundred percent sure, but he wasn't in the Beast's belly yet, and he also wasn't in it's mouth. He didn't understand how that was, but all Beasts came with their own unique mutations, quirks and mind-blowing Abilities. Nux, after falling for some seconds, finally landed on a soft squishy part. Goosebumps erupted over his skin as his phobia for soft, wet and squishy things came up. He reigned in the urge to step away from the place he stood on and clenched his fists. His arms lit up with Orange flames, and he raised them up, pointing it around and looking for a clue that could help him escape from the place he was easily, without blowing the Beast up. He noticed, after a while of searching, that the ground was pulsating, further agitating his phobia.

    Burn

    Nux knew that he wasn't fast enough, and the terrain wasn't to his advantage. His opponents were aerial too, further worsening the situation. "Doesn't mean I'll loose though." He acknowledged. He came to a grinding halt and turned around in one smooth motion, he faced his palms towards each other and placed them by his side, close to his hip. Fire began to charge in between them, and as the birds got closer, he compressed the flames that had gathered and threw his palms out, unleashing a beam right at them. Large swathes of them dropped to the ground, dead, but a large number of them remained. Nux didn't slow down after that first move and immediately attacked again. His punched out, and a short burst of flame went out and killed some birds again. The birds were weak individually, and their strength lied in their large Numbers, so each burst of flame took out at least two to three birds. Some seconds later, Nux realised that his efficiency was lacking, and his Mana was draining

    "Now that you've successfully learnt the Spell, I want you to perfect it and be able to apply in battle, so keep casting the Spell until you run out of Mana. In the meantime... Natalie come out!" Master Joe called out. It took a few seconds, but Natalie finally came out shyly, her head lowered, and her hand behind her back. She had been hiding there for quite some time now, and she had been spotted by Master Joe. "Your training would begin now, and I want you to give your all." Master Joe said and went ahead to begin teaching Nux and Natalie from that day onward. Nux was taught some of the Spells he had purchased from the Limitless Sea Academy together with Crazed Arrows, the Spell he had won from Gregory. He was also taught some Techniques that could be used in hand to hand combat, and he easily learnt them.Nux didn't slack off for a second. Though this period was supposed to be a time for him to rest, he didn't neglect his training either. And so time passed, and Nux was able t

    "Rising Pillar seems like a really good start for your training." Master Joe said, a toothy grin appearing on his face. Nux knew this was trouble, he had been with Master Joe long enough to know when he was up to something. "Lets start with the basic." He jumped to his feets and dragged Nux outside. They moved through the small town they were in, left through the gates and entered the forest ahead. There they found an open area they could stay in and began their training. Aegis hovered fifty meters above their heads and began to spin on his axis, generating Mana in the process and forming a dome that covered the surrounding hundred meters."Rising Pillar is quite a simple Spell to be honest, and the aim of the Spell is to create a pillar of fire beneath your target. But first..."Master Joe went ahead and performed a movement sequence, then he suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, and out of the ground, five meters away from him, a pillar of Blue and Green energy rose up, shovin

    Nux and Natalie traveled together with Master Joe, as Nux was forced to call him. Their journey was purposely made long and smooth, perhaps by Master Joe's will, or for another reason. Either way, Nux enjoyed it. They made some stops at Inns and Taverns to eat and clean themselves up, and this routine seemed to calm Nux's mind. It felt just like a holiday break, giving him the necessary rest he didn't know he needed. It wasn't up to a month since he joined the Limitless Sea Academy, hoping that he would learn a lot before leaving for the Heavenly Brutes Academy. But he ended up not learning exactly what he wanted and instead had to deal with annoying people most of the time, Nobles to be precise. He had learnt a little bit of Inscriptions and Enchantment, and he had a Quill and Inkwell, but... he hadn't had time to learn Inscribing itself, all he knew how to do was control Runes he had affinity for, and stamp them, which was very dangerous. He had missed most of the classes, not i

    Nux spotted Natalie and walked over. He placed a hand on her shoulders and flashed her a brilliant smile."Are you okay?" Nux asked. She hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. Nux's smile widened and he proceeded to ask her what really happened while he was passed out. Natalie told how Teacher Joseph had come in and saved him, defeated the Apostle of Destruction easily while protecting him at the same time. Nux was surprised by what he heard, and he felt that something wasn't right."You said he saw you right, but he didn't say anything to you?" Nux asked. "Yes.""That's strange, does he not know?" Nux soliloquized. He didn't think for long and turned back to Natalie with a serious expression on his face. "You know you can't stay here anymore right?""Yes, and that's why she'll be going with you." Nux and Natalie looked up, and they found Teacher Joseph hovering right above them. "I assume you're ready to leave at this moment, No?" Teacher Joseph asked, going s
