In between the foggy mountain there was constant ringing of metal flashing. 28 humans and a humanoid beast where fighting although it almost looked like the warriors will defeat the beast but the beast was too fast . if not for Ethan's water restricting skills most of them would have died but if the beast tried to attack Ethan alone it will be met by crushing blows from the squad although it has thick skin it still crushed it internal organs. suddenly when it was about to be at it last rope . puff it disappeared into thick purple smoke and drifted away.
Ethan immediately warned the team as they regrouped but it was too late an healers head burst into mist his body falling limp . Ethan and sunny couldn't move has they where high on alert they couldn't afford to make a mistake has their enemy has become more dangerous *as expected of an heavenly beast this one is comparable to a suppressor* Ethan sighed . * I guess I will have to use this hidden card* he said after another scream.
suddenly he turned to a white mist gas he blended completely with the fog . sunny looked surprised. he knew very well that Ethan's armour was way better than his own . suddenly the squad saw two mist fighting in the fog one almost invisible in the fog and the other purple. right now Ethan was using his A class skill which was comparable to some weaker S class skills called phantom ghost. this skills allows him to blend with the surroundings even a suppressor will find it hard to spot him.
Bang there was a hit and the beast turned to it original form trying to escape. it was already missing an arm . The warriors where shocked they knew how powerful this beast was in it sneak skills . the beast was running fast like breeze but it was too late like a death ghoul that wants to harvest life Ethan rushed out and beheaded the beast. the beast head was spinning in the air dread still on it eye it body fell like mat on the ground. bang .
Ethan quickly harvested the soul core a shining red bead in his hand he got a heavenly beast soul stone . * bluergh* of course his internal organs were in a mess. there where many gashes in his armour. who could fight a heavenly beast without receiving injuries .
*Quick let run it just alerted it mates they will soon be here* sunny shouted panicking. they could only handle one but barely made it out what if 10s or hundreds rushed here .
like a breeze the group rushed away with speed comparable to a Lamborghini. they rushed deep into the mountain. After they left multiple purple beast rushed into the area seeing the blood and head of their comrade they roared angrily and chased after the group
but the group where no pushovers each one of them where elites as they had managed to outrun the beast after 3 Days. the group found a cave and ventured in they setup camps and rested while healers healed Ethan and other ascended warriors injuries.
*Damn Ethan your skills are incredible how did you do that* an ascended asked the others where all at hears. although they all worked together that why they had such unique synergy but still each of them had their own secret techniques. * it a secret* Ethan laughed it off. * it cool you did a great job* sunny said he was trying to gain his leadership footing although he was the leader he still fell short compared to Ethan.
The others nodded Ethan and sunny put in a great effort. * haven't you heard Ethan is being tutored under a transcendence beings the second chief of the vanguard.* a guy named Colt said he was the healer that was saved by Ethan earlier. *really* they were surprised and immediately showed respect and gratitude towards Ethan he had saved their lives countless times . * don't flatter me I am just doing my job * Ethan said in a calm tone observing the surroundings. others saw him and they also examined here .
* strange innit look at those patterns in the walls it like a strange language and it was as I can get lost in them* said sunny said. others nodded their head became fuzzy when looking at it. * let not get lost too soon let leave here before we encounter danger* Ethan suggested. * no let rest here for a while and regroup I can't see the purple beast are not chasing us any more * sunny retorted still feeling bitter.
* ok no p boss* the others agreed. Ethan still felt something was odd at this place although he couldn't Sense it he trusted his intuition. but after some thought and planning he looked at an artifact it was a transcendence talisman he got lucky and bought it at 150 million ace token. Although it was one use he was still calm if it came to worst he could still escape.
Two days passed and the group continued their journey they encountered no danger and started climbing the mountain it was haggard and jagged but it was easy for the ascended only the awakened had rough time . this Ethan was already healed and energized but he had a grim look on his face he knew something was off and kept telling the team but sunny kept brushing it off. sunny had a fierce aura so maybe that why he looked calm and he was also an apex being and had better senses so would have already noticed.
when they reached the peak of the mountain they where shocked they saw a large vast area covered in snow . * hey look that's the portal* someone shouted excitedly. all of them was racing forward but sunny was faster. smirking he said * see I told you Ethan there is no da_____* spurts immediately he finished his sentence his head was already in the air . Everybody was shocked including Ethan what! an apex level being slaughtered in the blink of an eye for 10 seconds the air froze nobody could breathe even the snow stopped * everybody scatter it a hellish beast* Ethan voice waked everyone from their daze but it was too late.
