It was chaos, pure chaos.
And the dying toll was simply as excessive. Tons of died within the surprising incident. If not for the soldiers of the ice phoenix tribe, extra would have died.
Not like what Alex and the others thought. It was not an remoted incident. Twenty tire 3 monsters have been summoned by the mysterious folks. And the dying and destruction they brought about have been immense.
Many of the metropolis was in shambles.
Though Alex and Taka labored collectively to kill a peak tire 3 beasts. It was nothing in comparison with what the ice phoenix tribe needed to handle.
Simply because the beasts have been summoned. Even when, many of the strongest members of the ice phoenix tribe have been away, they rushed to avoid wasting the folks. They fought laborious to safe victory within the shortest potential time.
And the one who shone brightest amongst them was none apart from the eldest princess of the ice phoenix tribe. Sister of Laya and Meena. Subsequent in line to inherit the title of the matriarch. Kalina.
Kalina had rushed out simply because the battle started. Along with her superior energy as a tier 4 warrior, she simply disposed of the beast that she got here throughout.
A tier 4 warrior was utterly totally different from regular folks. It was a site of energy the place they may immediately borrow part of the facility from their spirit guardian. So, it was referred to as the spirit guardian possession.
Within the spirit guardian possession state, for a brief period, they develop into the embodiment of the spirit guardian. They are often in comparison with gods in historical myths with excellent bodily our bodies.
Apart from energy, It additionally gave them superiority over regular people. Akin to their potential to stroll on air, gradual ageing, and talent to retailer and use an enormous quantity of vitality of their physique. And eventually, to synchronise with the spirit guardian to convey ideas and feelings.
In a extra basic manner, tier 4 warriors may also be referred to as the powerhouses of the tribe. They may also be regarded as folks with direct uplink with mysterious beings referred to as spirit guardians.
And Kalina was such a warrior. Utilizing her immense energy, she killed 5 out of the twenty beasts alone. And within the course of saved her sisters from hazard. She was a badass warrior and on the similar time a form, loving sister.
However even with all her energy, she could not save everybody. Her chilly eyes gazed on the corpse-ridden streets. And anger was clearly seen in them. Her ice arrows barely missed one of many major conspirators of the incident.
‘If solely I had been somewhat quicker.’ Her face darkened in dismay.
—————————
“Ahm… Hidden grasp, are you able to arise?” Somebody kicked Alex who was laying subsequent to the corpse of a big six-armed gorilla. He was peacefully nodding off, however the kick woke him up.
Turning round, gazing on the pipsqueak referred to as Meena. The pent-up anger in his thoughts arose. He wished to knock on her thick cranium and power some manners into it.
However earlier than he may do this, an icy hand grabbed his wrist.
It was a fantastic lady carrying a white gown. With piercing black eyes and wavy black hair. She regarded like a goddess, elegant and delightful.
Nonetheless, the wonder was obtrusive at Alex like she would eat him alive if he dared to hurt Meena.
“Hidden grasp, let me introduce you to my eldest sister, Kalina. Sister, that is the hidden grasp that I advised you about.” Meena kindly launched Alex.
But it surely did not ease the stress within the air. The grip was robust and Alex may really feel the blood provide to his palm being lower off.
“Hello, I’m the hidden grasp. Regular folks name me Meru.” Alex launched himself.
Solely after that did the dying grip lose.
‘She is just too robust and beautiful. She has a shocking physique with the appeal of a mature lady. How previous is she?’ Even in ache, undesirable ideas about her magnificence blasted by Alex’s thoughts. He was barely dropping management of his teenage mind.
“Good day, sir Meru. My sister advised me that you simply and Sir Taka killed the beast. You will have my heartfelt gratitude for safeguarding town and its folks. To thanks, I want to sincerely invite you to the palace of the ice phoenix tribe.” She glared at Alex and invited him to the palace with no room to reject.
Based on her sister, if Alex hadn’t intervened when the beast attacked. They might have succumbed to the assault.
Although the child referred to as Meru regarded shady. If each her sisters praised him, there can be some reality to the matter. So, she selected to ask him and observe.
‘I’d as effectively comply with them to the palace. Constructing a very good relationship with the ice phoenix tribe would do me no hurt.’
“Earlier than that, are you able to inform my tribesmen, the stone head tribe? Or else they may fear about me.”
“We’ll do this.”
It was at that second Alex seen a stretcher carrying Taka leaving. He was additionally being carried to the palace to deal with his accidents.
The beast had carried out a quantity on his first buyer.
‘This pesky piece of meat.’ Pondering that Alex kicked the carcass of the six-armed gorilla.
[Ding]
All of a sudden a notification flashed earlier than Alex’s eyes.
[Data shard found]
[Extracting data. Mana runes are found.]
[Modifying and improving to fit interdimensional farm parameters.]
[New function, fertiliser has been developed to enhance the mana inside crops.]
[The player can now create basic fertiliser by using the corpse of level 3 mana beasts.]
A sequence of notifications which startled Alex popped up in his imaginative and prescient.
‘I ought to be completely satisfied that the farm unlocked a brand new operate. However why does it really feel like I used to be scammed? To make fertiliser, I would like a degree 3 mana beast. Does it imply beasts just like the six-armed gorilla?’
‘For god’s sake, it was a tier 3 beast. One thing dreaded by everybody on this continent. It was not some piece of cow dung or rooster shit. For primary fertiliser, I must kill a beast like that. Was the farm joking?’
‘Properly, thanks for unlocking a characteristic that I’d by no means use.’
Alex complained in his thoughts.
The farm was one thing that he relied on to outlive. He was completely satisfied to unlock new options for it. However figuring out how laborious it was to kill one tier 3 beast. He felt dejected.
It was the rationale for his grievance.
Nonetheless, he may fear about making fertiliser one other time. Earlier than that, he would love to know what a knowledge shard was. And the way the farm was capable of improve itself utilizing it.
The place can he discover extra knowledge shards? By killing beasts?
One other plethora of questions muddled his thoughts. After considering for some time, he gave up on considering. He cannot ask inquiries to the farm and any conclusion he may attain with the restricted knowledge he has can solely be thought-about hypothesis.
And from his hypothesis, the awakening ceremony was one method to get knowledge. And one other one was by killing a beast just like the six-armed gorilla.
If there are extra, he has but to come back throughout them.
——-
“Sir, hidden grasp. Comply with me to my house. We’ve loads of chickens there. We will make loads of fired and roasted rooster.”
‘To your data, it is fried not fired. Anyway, was this the rationale she satisfied her elder sister to convey me to the palace? The satan solely wants my mayonnaise and meals.’
Alex averted Meena like plague.
In the meantime, two pairs of shining orbs centered on Alex and Meena.
“Do you assume he has any half within the assault? It isn’t daily that you simply see a younger child like him battling a peak tier 3 beast. He could be a spy. From what I heard, his powers are nothing like that of the stone head tribe.” Kalina requested Laya.
“It does not appear to be he’s an enemy. Sir Taka, earlier than he was carried away sang praises of his potential. He was completely satisfied that he’s an ally.”
“Hm… We will wait and observe. So, concerning the steel scarcity. Did you finalise the deal?”
However as soon as she heard concerning the deal, Laya grew to become meek. She did not need her sister to know that she deliberate to import metals from the west.
Her sister was nearly excellent if not for her prideful nature. She would not like bowing her head to the westerners.
“We may discuss that later. Let’s hurry again. There are way more urgent issues at hand.” Laya shortly modified the subject.
The group slowly walked by the destroyed metropolis into the centre, the place the monolithic shrine of the ice phoenix tribe was located. It was the image of delight for the tribe.
Surrounding the shrine was an enormous palace. Made with thick granite and marble slabs. It was stunning. Many sculptures and fantastically engraved partitions adorned the way in which in direction of the palace.
Alex was mesmerised by it.
Earlier than lengthy, they reached the palace entrance.
