The forest orc smashed its fist at Yeshua when it reached him. The wind strongly vibrated as sounds of friction were produced.
Heavy Punch! Bang!
Yeshua dodged the violent attack as he stepped to the side of the forest orc. Even if the menacing giant was already in his proximity, he did not panic. His eyes were full of fighting spirit!
Wind Claws!
Yeshua's claws were further sharpened as wind blades form around them. He then slashed them at the forest orc. The whirling wind in his arms brought forth a melody that expressed his will to fight back!
While the ground was shaking, Yeshua did not stop attacking the forest orc and bravely face it. Slashes of claws one after another were thrown by Yeshua to the forest orc.
The shaking ground did not impede the forest orc as it also threw heavy punches at Yeshua while it endured his attacks.
The ground was shaking affecting Yeshua's movement and speed but it did not stop Yeshua to exchange attacks with the violent green giant.
The orc's red blood splashed around as it growled in pain but it did not stop attacking Yeshua. Though Yeshua was damaging the forest orc, he was also exhausting himself with his constant dodges and attacks.
Soul energy was needed to control the genome sequence and some of it was consumed every time Yeshua unleashed his abilities. His soul was getting weaker strengthening the influence of savageness on him.
This was another difference of Alterers from spirit beasts. Spirit beasts did not have to worry about losing their mind to savageness but Alterers were constantly defending themselves from it. At this moment, Yeshua was fighting two beasts at the same time, the beast in front of him and the beast inside him.
These exchanges of attacks were very fast that only a few seconds elapsed. The ground was still shaking as the two wild beasts exchanged savage attacks.
Alas, the exhaustion caught up to Yeshua. At the same time, it was getting hard for him to completely focus his mind on the forest orc due to the savageness influencing him. Though he was stronger for his stage because of his elite rank genome sequence, Yeshua's low soul temperance became his handicap.
Bang!
A punch connected and smashed at Yeshua because he was late in dodging it. He felt like he was struck by a heavy hammer as his body arch forward when the punch struck his torso. A suppressed sound of pain escaped Yeshua's wolf maw while his breath was blasted out of his lungs.
Yeshua was blasted away and his body slid violently to the ground leaving a trail of dust. He could not help but cough blood while feeling his bones cracked. That attack really hurt Yeshua.
"Dammit! Grr… That attack will seriously injure me if my Alter Beast is only ordinary rank Wind Wolf. It's good that my defense is also strengthened."
Yeshua then looked at the forest orc. It was bleeding hard since it ignored the wounds that Yeshua dealt with it. It was breathing hard and was looking at Yeshua angrily.
"Heh, at least this green head looks seriously injured. It's crafty but it can't change its nature. It's confident with its defense and likes to rely on brute force. It didn't think that my small claws are better than its big arms, hehe." The wolf Yeshua smirked with deep meaning.
Maybe seeing Yeshua's smirk further angered the forest orc as it roared furiously and charged at Yeshua. Yeshua took advantage of their distance this time to finish this green beast.
Yeshua gathered the wind inside his maw. He was charging and compressing the wind as he prepared to unleash his strongest attack!
Tornado Blast!
Before the forest orc reached him, Yeshua released a violent blast of swirling wind blades towards the green beast. When the tornado struck the forest orc, its coarse hard skin was torn apart splashing blood around. Its defense was broken and it was tortured by the sharp blades whipping at it.
After a while, the tornado gradually stopped. In the middle of the swirling dust, a bloody green beast full of blade cuts could be seen standing. It was still alive but obviously weaker this time.
Yeshua did not give it time to recover as he became a blue flash and dashed towards the forest orc. Seeing Yeshua charging at it, the forest orc roared angrily as it raised its arm and summoned its stone club. Yeshua did not stop but even accelerated to reach the forest orc before it completed its stone club.
Yeshua arrived at the side of the forest orc and by this time, his claws were already glinting with blue sharpness as the wind swirled around his arms.
Yeshua flashed around the forest orc and every time he passed by the forest orc, splashes of blood spread and mixed in the wind. The forest orc growled in pain while the stone club's formation was being interrupted.
After a while, the forest orc difficultly completed the stone club and smashed it towards the flashing Yeshua. Yeshua felt the slowing effect again as he tried to keep a distance from its impact.
It seemed that the forest orc was making a desperate attack as it just swung the stone club violently. When the stone club smashed the ground, the ground exploded with so much force that it shattered and cracked.
An earthquake followed the impact of the attack and shook everything around. It was obvious that the attack of the stone club was combined with its Ground Smash ability.
The quaking continued for a few seconds until it gradually stopped. The dust floated around as rock debris showered the place of impact. The place was blurred by the dust but a giant silhouette could be seen. The dust settled and the only one remaining standing was the forest orc.
But suddenly, blood spurted from the mouth of the forest orc as it released a painful roar!
Bang!
The bulky body of the forest orc crashed to the ground shaking it. A bloody hole could be seen at the back of the forest orc like a wild beast tore its back and dug its heart out.
Indeed, its heart was dug out but not by a wild beast but the werewolf standing behind it. The wolf Yeshua was breathing hard as blood dripped from the heart he was holding between his sharp claws.
That desperate last attack of the orc was really dangerous. It was good that the forest orc became slower due to its injuries giving Yeshua time to keep a distance from it. He then circled behind the forest orc while the quaking was weakening.
When he reached its back, he violently tore the forest orc's severely injured back and dug out its heart. The forest orc was not able to resist because it was already very weak and it poured all its strength into its last desperate attack. Yeshua was then able to finish this giant green beast.
Though it was not as dangerous as the battle with the gang leader, the battle gave Yeshua the pressure he was seeking for his cultivation. Though some injuries pained his body, Yeshua was still successful in this battle.
Seeing the blood and feeling the exhilaration of winning, the dark blue werewolf Yeshua could not stop himself from howling wildly.
"Awoooooo!"
A domineering howl of wolf reverberated in the surroundings. Suddenly, Yeshua could feel a change inside him.
"This is… I'm advancing a stage?!" Yeshua was really surprised. He did not expect to advance a stage that quickly.
The sensation of his soul being thoroughly refined gave a mystical feeling to Yeshua. The soul tempering gene medicine was being digested faster at this moment than its expected effect. It was because of the power of nature helping Yeshua advance.
The power of nature was guiding the spirit particles around Yeshua to strengthen him. It was not only his soul that was being refined to the next stage but the spirit genes in his body were also further strengthened increasing his attributes and affinity to the wind.
Coupled with the increase of the attributes and wind affinity, the increase of soul temperance that amplified his abilities made Yeshua stronger than before. With his elite strength, Yeshua was almost as strong as a level 1 stage 4 Alterer despite being at stage two of level one.
This quick advancement of Yeshua was because of his bloody battle with Grey where he was even pushed to use his blood rage ability. Then, after being stimulated by the soul tempering medicine and his battle with the forest orc, Yeshua was thoroughly pushed to advance to the next stage. Of course, Yeshua was also a combination of two young souls. His soul potential was also not ordinary.
After a while, the advancement was completed.
