Time flew by quickly, and it had already been over three weeks since Marius and his family had arrived in this strange new world. Their training in the mountain range had proven to be quite fruitful as everyone had achieved an absurd skill level.
Currently, a battle was currently occurring somewhere within the mountain's outskirts, at the very dividing chasm that leads to its middle sectors.
Bang! With a loud boom, a cluster of boulders rained down from the summits of this very chasm's walls as a creature that was no less than a few dozen meters long and roughly four to five meters wide was flung by a man towards it.
Looking at the body of this monster left an impression in high walls of the hundreds of meter chasm. One notice that it was a snake-like beast with scaly dark purple skin along with blue colored ice crystals embedded into its reptile-like head, running from the back of its neck and across its spine through its entire body.
This beast was a well-known creature in the lands of Valoria, a mystic beast that could cause alarm to any lands across the vast continent, one known as the Tyrant Frost Wyrm.

Raooooor! The Tyrant Frost Wyrm had only just worked loose from its crater and lifted its head before roaring towards the heavens, its icy aura rising by more than twofold due to its immense rage when it glared at the human that had just tossed it.
Its aura was so dominating that the surroundings became influenced, taking on an icy hue as if the world was only moments from undergoing winter.
Marius who stood on top of a protruding rock which came from out of the chasm's walls, gazed at the massive Tyrant Frost Wyrm that flew above him with a cold look in his eyes as he smirked, he hoisted his battle-ax, pointing it towards it as he provoked, "Is that your best shot, Little Ice Worm? I'm disappointed in you..."
The Tyrant Frost Wyrm grew incensed, being a Superior Class Mystical Beast. It was naturally able to understand human language clearly, as such, now that it was likened to a common worm, its rage was far beyond the norm.
Roar! With another terrifying roar, its body erupted with its icy mystic power, freezing more than a hundred meters around its body in merely a few seconds. Its eyes glowed in bright blue lights as it opened its mouth and began to conjure a ball of icy energies.
'The buff for this skill isn't a joke, but thankfully I've come to find out that my Strengthen All skill is the most broken buff skill of all...' Marius thought with a smirk on his face, he didn't even hesitate as he saw its actions. He acted by jumping from his previous location, moving across the air like a blurry bullet.
The Tyrant Frost Wyrm had a cruel look in its glowing blue eyes, as its attack charged up in full it fired the energies immediately, sending a bright beam of ice energies towards Marius.
"Hmph! Not today! Strengthen All: Twisting Gale Swing!" Marius shouted as his body spun in the air with his battle-ax held firmly.
A bright glow of white Mystic Power conjured around his battle-ax as he chopped it towards the Frost Beam's direction, sending a twisting gust far beyond the usual standard of sheering winds towards the beam at high speeds.
The cyclone only needed an instant before it crashed with the beam, disrupting its energies by creating a hurricane of ice before it dispersed into the air.
After the cyclone vanished, the remaining energies from the Frost Beam had already veered off course, firing down towards the chasm's unknown depths as a frigid wind blew from below.
The Tyrant Frost Wyrm was stunned at this scene as it would have never expected for its innate attack to lose effect. If it were any other warrior of its class, they and the rest of the hundred-meter range would have been frozen stiff.
Nevertheless, despite its confusion, it was an experienced and intelligent creature, it knew that for a man to perform such a feat, then the man in question would most definitely not be an easy foe. It prepared to leave before it suffered any more losses, but sadly, Marius was one step ahead of it.
When Marius saw the Tyrant Frost Wyrm turned around as it ascended towards the sky, he stretched one of his arms forward and made a gripping motion as he shouted, "You won't escape so easily, Strengthen All: Aerial Submission Palms!"
Following Marius's words, a semi-transparent palm formed around the Tyrant Frost Wyrm's body, binding its movements as it now became filled with looks of alarm.
The palm's binding force hindered it to such an extent that even with its D category strength, it was unable to work loose. It lifted its head and roared towards Marius who was still soaring towards it as it prepared to fire another Frost Beam. However, its attempt was already a futile one.
Swoosh! Marius had appeared directly in front of the Tyrant Frost Wyrm's body; he then gripped the battle-ax with both arms as he shouted, "Strengthen All: Body!"
Following this, his muscles swelled as his entire body became even more sturdy and powerful, he then swung the battle-ax down with full force towards the Tyrant Frost Wyrm's head while invoking his other skill, "Cleaving Earth Smasher!"
For some reason, the instant Marius said Strengthen All, its body's binding force had abruptly vanished. The Tyrant Frost Wyrm wanted to make the change to escape, but sadly, Marius's ax had already smashed into its head.
With a loud boom and the sound of flesh being chopped into, a gush of blood spewed across the sky, Marius's ax had split its head into two, the Tyrant Frost Wyrm then wailed in a pitiful cry before it lost all life and its giant corpse started to fall from the sky.

Marius, who was now airborne, smirked as he saw those details, his body soon started falling into the chasm, but he merely reached his hand to the side and used his Aerial Submission Palms to conjure an arm that pulled him towards the surface.
Marius then landed on the ground with a flip as he wiped the sweat from his face. He then spoke with a pleased expression, "Whew, that should be enough, with this I should finally be able to advance into Rank E. It took me 15 days for my body to adapt to the energies after my last rank up, then I had to do that Advancement Test. I suppose after leveling this time; then I'll need one month to adapt before doing the next test..."
After finishing his words, Marius glanced around at the brutal but mystical mountain areas, the verdant bushes, and lush fields, along with plentiful energy and colorful plants painting the scenery before his eyes.
He sighed while thinking, 'It's a pity that we have to leave here tomorrow and truly start our life in this world. If we could have stayed a little longer then my strength could have grown further. Oh well, I can't keep Little Grevlin and Rose in this mountain for too long, that is not good for their growth. Plus, with my current strength, we should be fine as long as I don't offend any knights of that dynasty, Grevlin can also take care of himself and Rose to a decent degree by now...'
After wrapping up his thoughts, Marius prepared to head towards his family's direction, but right at this time, a notification sounded.

Marius smiled at this as he could feel the surging power in his body, he gripped his fists feeling even more confidence as he left this area, heading towards his family...
