The Original Beast Soul, veiled by a curtain of abysmal darkness, stared at its master.

Nux couldn't see it's face, but he could feel it's penetrating stare.

The Beast Soul stood on the water, but a tide of darkness never stopped pouring out of it's body, forming a base beneath that made it seem as if Nux's Beast Soul and the water, were one.

The staring contest continued on for a minute, before Nux heard a word in his mind.

"Limit."

Nux didn't know if all Beast Souls could communicate with their masters like this, so he thought of it as his Beast Soul being unique.

"I have reached my limit?" Nux iterated. "Just like I thought."

His Beast Soul didn't reply and simply stared at him some more.

Nux felt a touch on his body, and jumped out of his Soul Sea just to see Vivian staring at him.

"Bind the beast quick. I don't have much time to waste."

Nux sighed. 'It seems I have no choice.'

He looked at his hand for a second, then suddenly bit down hard on his thumb, drawing blood after

    'Nova?' Nux thought. "When did I even name him!" Nux looked down and stared at the academy with a worried look. He couldn't see the whole length of the academy due to how large it was, but he could see a sizable chunk. His treehouse was close by, he could see Mission Hall>X<, Martial Hall , the PE Class's field, which had surprisingly regained it's previous look and no longer had a crater in it, and could see other treehouses, more buildings he didn't know their use, and many students moving about. Nux took deep breaths, then slowly guided... Nova, on his flight path. It wasn't smooth at first, but Nux adapted quickly. Nova too seemed to be cooperative and didn't do things on his own accord. The duo soared through the air at a steady pace, while slowly picking up speed. The wind currents threatened to throw Nux off, but he held on to Nova's fur and didn't let go. His legs were also tightened across his abdomen, giving him a steadier grip. They passed by several oth

    Nux walked into the building, looking around curiously. The building was really busy, with students going about looking at all kinds of 'stuffs'. The 'stuffs', turned out to be raw materials used for Inscribing and Enchanting, ranging from Quills and Inkwells, to Hammers and Chisels.Nux had later come to know that special Hammers and Chisels were used to inscribe on large structures.At first Nux was confused about the whole of Inscription, like for example, why did they need Quills and Inkwells to inscribe when they could just stamp the set of World Runes needed?Asking himself this question, that was how he realized that his case was special. Not everyone could stamp World Runes like he did. Though that came with its own con... He couldn't stamp other World Runes, even though he could control them. Still, that was a boon to his strength. Though he might not be able to control other World Runes like others, he could still burn someone or something to ash with his Draconic Flame R

    "Come to think of it, I don't really know how to increase my strength." Nux started. "According to the knowledge of this body, to increase my strength, I have to cultivate Mana, acquire Treasures, be it Artifacts or Beast Equipment, and lastly, absorb different types of resources that can increase my body's functionality, and boost my stats and affinity for Mana.""Though most of those resources are exclusive to only the Nobles most of the times.""Pills are things that can't even be gotten through normal means. I would need to find an alchemist to concoct a pill for me." Nux paused. "Artifacts or Beast Equipments can't be gotten for now either. I would need to fight a beast to acquire their Cores, before finding a good Blacksmith to forge it.""Still, knowing all of this things, cultivating Mana will give me an immediate boost to my strength. And that brings the question, how do I cultivate Mana?""There should be techniques that would be used for cultivation, but I don't have acce

    The darkness was cold and empty. There was no sound, sight, feeling or taste.His body floated aimlessly and lonelily in this empty and dark space. His every breath was even and unperturbed, but there was something about that tranquility that was unnerving. It instilled a feeling of being a prey to a lurking predator. His eyelids were too heavy to open, probably due to drowsiness, or something else he couldn't fathom yet. Suddenly Nux's eyes snapped open, and his whole body twitched like electricity had just gone through it. His neck hair stood on their ends, and a tingling sensation was felt."That's all." A voice said.Nux shot up into a sitting position and raised his fist, almost throwing out a vicious punch at the Mutant before him.Martin flinched and subconsciously backed away. The last time Nux punched him, he had suffered internal damage and had to be healed.This was the second time they were meeting, so Nux wasn't so surprised by his looks and was able to hold himself bac

    Nux realised that he had passed out for a very long time as it was already nighttime.He left the building after passing by so many beds having people on them. He could see healers going about, doing their works quickly and diligently.New patients were brought in almost every minute, though old patients were discharged at the same rate too, creating an equilibrium. He saw different types of healing powers in play, and was surprised by the ingenuity of some of them. Some powers had nothing related to healing at all, but were used to heal nonetheless.Nova was asleep when Nux exited the Infirmary, but jumped to his feets and wagged his tail wildly when he noticed Nux.Nux rubbed his body as he stared at the night sky. There weren't much people flying in the sky. Most had probably gone to bed or were up to something.There wasn't a curfew, so Nux could still move about till dawn without being questioned.The Medallion vibrated lightly, and a loud voice rang in his head."This is Teache

  • Supreme Beast: The Book Of Souls   Challenging Me?

    "Hmmm." Teacher Joseph closed his eyes, having a weird expression affixed on his face.'I was confused by almost half of his thoughts.' He thought. 'Asura's Wrath? What does he know about the Asuras? Aren't the Asuras still in hiding?'Teacher Joseph then clicked his tongue. 'Supreme Beasts, that's to be expected. That old geezer always steals our students.''He also doesn't seem like a Mentalist to me, he's more of a fist fighter...' Teacher Joseph paused for a full minute, his eyes closed and his face still contorted. 'Is he actually related to the Asuras?''Aish! Too much thinking isn't good.' Teacher Joseph claimed. "I'll send your answer to the Headmistress." He said out loud. "Wait for her reply, because your stay here might be shorter than you expected." Teacher Joseph looked up, and Nux followed his action subconsciously. Both of them looked up at Aegis, and Nux was surprised see it spinning rapidly on its axis, producing a rough and sharp sound. It was then that Nux notice

    "Are you challenging me to a duel?" Nux asked with a hollow stare."Why would I be challenging a lowly thing like you, why would I even challenge a student in the first place?!" He ranted loudly, ganering more attention to himself. "First you disrespect and insult me... then you beat my disciple... and now you dare ask me for a duel!" Nux could feel the fat bellied man's anger. His face had turned beet red from embarrassment and anger, and he was this close to actually attacking Nux.Nux knew the rules of the Academy, and the fat bellied man knew it too. No one, under any circumstances and no matter who they were, was to fight anyone without it being a certified duel with witnesses, and a teacher overseeing it. The fat bellied man felt it to be beneath him to challenge and duke it out with a student, so he kept claiming and spouting shit, but Nux was unfazed, unfortunately for him. "You know what, I accept your duel." The fat bellied man claimed in a gruff voice."I want One Thous

    The Palm Strikes kept ramming into the crater, burying Nux in further.Within his mind, his Soul Sea to be precise, the waters were turbulent, and the space around looked to be shattering. There were several tears in the fabric of reality, and the distortion caused the whole Soul Sea to surge and quake violently. The sky tore apart under the disturbance, and the water boiled furiously. The three Beast Soul Islands were surprisingly calm, seeming as if nothing could shake them. The Original Island was the calmest, standing gallantly without the slightest disturbance seen on its surface.The original Beast Soul stood, 'staring' at the island. No one could know what was on it's mind, and being unable to see it's expressions made things worse.The Beast Soul was rooted to the spot where it stood, but then it began to move. The dark sands created a perfect camouflage that hid it from view, as it turned into a tide of darkness, and flowed smoothly over the Original Island. The tide of d

    Destruction Flames

    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?' As soon as Nux had this thoughts, the Runes arou

    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 tailNux 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...

    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

    Cultivation

    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
