Almost instantly, as Legion eliminated the Rhino demonic beast, Alec heard the system notification and assumed it must have been triggered by Legion’s action. However, he soon felt a cold chill creeping over him, which caused him to look down at the tree he was perched on; and he noticed that the ground beneath it was lightly covered in frost.“No way, this can’t still be about Legion,” Alec muttered as he turned his gaze toward the second battlefield, which they had all overlooked while watching Legion. While doing this, Alec pulled up his system notifications to check what had prompted the alert.[> Titan’s Ice Manipulation has finally completed its evolution.] [> Ice Manipulation has now changed to Ice Manipulation I.] [> The first stage of Ice Manipulation ability will soon be awakened.] [> Pay 250,000 system points for the first stage awakening (Y/N)?] Seeing this option left Alec quite perplexed, but he didn’t hesitate to select “Y” for yes. He was perplexed because wa
The system spirit materialized before Alec, appearing with its golem body as it has forced its way out from Alec’s space pouch. Ignoring the questioning look on Alec’s face, it focused intently on the icy blue light shooting into the skies.“What the hell? Why are you allowing a golem to undergo a breakthrough inside the Beast Forest?” the system spirit demanded.“How was I supposed to know my golem would level up so soon?” Alec shot back, spreading his hands wide in frustration.“You’re in big trouble,” the system spirit replied, dramatically slapping its golem head with a hand, making Alec scrunch up his face at the gesture.“Can you just explain what the real problem is?” Alec shouted at the system spirit, who trembled at Alec’s outburst.“Let me make it simple for you, normally, if Titan were having a regular breakthrough, it wouldn’t cause much of a reaction. You’d just see a flash of light, and that would be it, no big flashy display and no magical energy would be sent out wid
This time, Butcher was in charge of leading the melee golems. As the first wave of demonic beasts charged at him, he began to spin his lightning axe at a rapid speed, sending those rushing toward him sprawling backward.Thanks to the force generated by his whirling axe, he created a type of lightning repulsion, leaving most of the demonic beasts who were knocked back numb and paralyzed for a few seconds. Meanwhile, all it did for Butcher was push him back a few steps, with a little strain on his shoulder joints. “How the hell did Titan always manage to hold off the waves of beasts without being pushed back? It’s hard to fill his shoes; we really need his expertise in situations like this,” Butcher grumbled after clashing with multiple Tier 4 demonic beasts.He reflected on every time he fought alongside Titan as he led the charge, recalling that it took an exceptional beast of the same realm or a miracle to force Titan to move back. But as he sank deeper into his thoughts, Alec o
One of the peak Tier 5 ice elemental beasts that had appeared was an Arctic bear, roaring from a distance as it came with its minions. With its thunderous roar, the Arctic bears beneath it began dashing forward, compelling Alec to finally make a move since most of his golems were still occupied. [> Mid Tier Spell – Sand Tsunami <] After a few hand signs, Alec cast the spell, sweeping his right hand forward to summon a massive wave of sand toward the charging white-furred bears, which seemed intent on breaking through the defensive line established by his golems. There were five of the bears, all at the Tier 5 realm, three at mid-level and the other two at low-level.As Alec sent forth a raging sand tsunami at its minions, the peak Tier 5 arctic bear at the back snorted, wearing a smug expression that infuriated Alec. He watched as the ice bear inhaled deeply before exhaling a frigid breath toward the swirling sands that were crushing the demonic beasts in their path.Upon clashin
While Alec was busy with his own affairs, the rest of the team was preoccupied with theirs, still in disbelief that they had made it to the finals of the Inter-Academy Competition.One person particularly taken aback was Beatrice. The journey had been a rollercoaster ride for her, and now she found herself taking a stroll outside their living quarters, wandering through the open area behind their new home.A small noise caught her attention, and as she turned to its source she realized it was on the other side, so she peered over the fence into the quarters occupied by another team. There, she saw the captain of Onyx Academy, seated cross-legged and deep in cultivation, while his elder sister Morgana sat around, keeping watch as he tried to heal his internal wounds.Noticing that Dorian was merely healing his wounds, Beatrice decided to divert her gaze, only to hear the same sound again, this time louder. It was clear that she wasn’t the only one who heard it; even Morgana, who had
“I hope you know that Dorian is only the representative heir of the Voss family, if you truly want the clan to take you seriously, you’ll need to defeat all four representatives of the next generation,” Morgana said as she finally took her battle stance.“Well, I believe that as long as I’ve dealt with the favoured representative, the rest won’t pose much of a problem for me,” Maria declared as she finally made her move, swinging her blade toward Morgana.Causing dark slashes to fly toward Morgana, who skillfully parried them away before kicking off the ground to close the distance between them. “Just one important question, though, you claim you’ve come to challenge my brother, yet here you are fighting me. Not only that, but you’re extremely weak.” “ If I feel this way, Dorian would feel it too and in a normal match he would be able to decimate you in mere seconds,” Maria said, trying to maintain a conversation with Morgana as if they weren’t trying to kill each other.“You see,
The blade swung back with a blood coated aura, spinning rapidly before decapitating the Arctic Bear in one clean motion. It was as if there was no resistance at all. Alec noticed that the sword continued its return back to Alec even after slaying the bear, causing Alec to quickly summon the Changdao scabbard into his outstretched right hand.The blade rotated back into its sheath smoothly, bringing with it the drained blood from the bear. The bear's body slumped to the ground, completely devoid of blood, as the blade clicked when it finally settled into its sheath, Alec watched as the levitating blood was absorbed by the blade, disappearing entirely."Now that's some cool moves," Alec remarked, noticing the blade vibrating lightly and emitting a blood-red glow.[Changdao due for the next upgrade][One of the seals will be unlocked][30:00]After seeing the system notification, Alec watched as the weapon levitated into the air. 'Even you are going into an upgrade. What's up with all
The moment Alec cast his bloodline spell, his body began to change, bones cracking and muscles twitching almost immediately. The first sensation he felt was the shadow wolf trying to reach out to him. Though it communicated through growls, but Alec could sense and understand what it wanted, it was asking to be released before Alec’s shapeshifting completed. Swiftly, Alec casted another spell before the effects of the shapeshift fully manifested.[> Low Bloodline Spell – Manifest Beast Form – Shadow Wolf <] As soon as Alec invoked this spell, he felt the tattoo representing the shadow wolf on his back was attempting to tear its way out. The process was accompanied by intense pain, but he managed to suppress any sounds, not wanting to show the four demonic beasts analysing him any sign of weakness.Before their eyes, a massive shadow wolf emerged from Alec’s back, slowly returning to its full shape. It was a sight to behold; the sleek, dark fur of the shadow wolf rad
