Eon waved his wings as he flew at high speed under the bright sun. Eon finally found a strong monster to fight against after hours of searching, thanks to his superior sense of smell, which was a huge help to him. He'd have a hard time looking for monsters worth his time if he didn't have a strong sense of smell.
Eon dove into a section of the forest that was densely forested, but the ground was littered with stones. He landed in front of a massive stone cave. The cave measured 20 meters in height and 30 meters in length, just big enough to house the monster that lived there.
What was inside was a monster that many monsters avoided at all costs. Not only because of its incredible abilities, but also because of its aggressive nature. Unlike many of the monsters, including those of the same level, which were mostly killing monsters to feed or gain level, this monster would kill anything that came near its territory for no apparent reason— just to kill. It would attack any monster that entered its territory without regard, including monsters from its evolution line.
It could sense the movements of every monster even from afar, which was why it had seen Eon's arrival. When Eon landed on the ground, its violet pair of eyes emerged from the dark cave, making a terrifying growl that for many meant only death. The monster was so dangerous that the moment it decided to kill another monster, it was considered dead... That was the case the majority of the time.
When he saw the monster's ferocious eyes in front of him, Eon growled and stared back. He flailed his wings and displayed his claws.

Snow began to fall in the surrounding area. The image of the monster gradually emerged from the darkness, revealing the type of monster Eon had chosen to fight this time.

A 4 meter tall bear emerged from the dark cave, showing its sharp teeth and growling. Its razor-sharp claws were revealed as it stepped out. It had evolved from Bildabear and was now one of the most dangerous monsters in the forest. It had dark brown skin with violet tints at the ends of its furs, which indicated what element it could use.
Eon walked back, watching the slowly emerging enemy and preparing for the next battle he was about to face.
The massive bear stood up, revealing a towering eight-meter-tall monster. Then it opened its mouth and let loose an ear-shattering roar that echoed throughout the area. Stampede sounds were heard throughout, as well as the cries of birds flying away all at once. The Thundursa used its skills Spiky Fur and Thick Hide while roaring. Spiky Fur would return to the attacker 50% of the damage taken by the user. Thick Hide reduced Fire and Ice elemental attacks, but it was negated by Eon's Snowfield.
Then there was an explosion of electro power as the Thundursa activated its skill, Thunder Spirit. It was a skill that doubled the user's top speed and provided 20% damage reduction from electro-element attacks. This ability enabled the Thundursa to reduce the damage of three elemental attacks.
Eon, on the other hand, was just watching it get fully equipped. He just stood there until the Thundursa finished.
The ferocious Thundursa, on the other hand, wasted no time in attacking the intruder who dared to enter its territory. It used Feral Roar and Thunder Outrage. Feral Roar was an attack that dealt damage in a fan area in the direction of the user's attack. Thunder Outrage was an Area Of Effect skill that summoned an electro explosion that obliterated everything in its path.
Feral Roar's powerful force struck Eon and bombarded him with destructive force, followed by an explosion of violet electric current that echoed throughout the area. The Thunder Outrage's area was so vast that Eon had no way out—everything within a 50-meter radius had been obliterated. The majority of the living things that were hit were instantly destroyed... The majority of them.
Eon put his arms down and looked up at the Thundursa standing a few meters away after the destructive explosion of two powerful skills that were supposed to kill anything—especially Eon who was hit by both skills.
[Feral Roar has dealt 641 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Thunder Outrage has dealt 744 damage to your Ice Armor.]
Eon growled, and cold smoke poured from his mouth. His armor was not even badly damaged. Eon and his Ice Armor received no dangerous damage from the Thundursa's most powerful combination of attacks.
[Ice Armor has been activated.]
[Ice Armor has 2370 HP.]
The ferocious Thundursa stood motionless, its massive violet eyes fixed on Eon. Eon's defensive wall of Ice Armor and Vanguard was too strong for the Thundursa to breach.
The well-known vicious monster of Kegali, on the other hand, would not easily accept defeat. It activated its skills, Feral Roar and Thunder Outrage, and unleashed them with devastating force once more. Eon, like the first, did not even try to dodge, instead covering his head with his arms and standing firm as he withstood the destructive combination of attacks.
The thunderous roar of the Thundursa was accompanied by another electro explosion... However, when the attacks were completed, the intended target remained standing as if he had not taken the devastating damage that was meant to kill even the most dangerous monsters of Thundursa's level.
[Feral Roar has dealt 641 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Thunder Outrage has dealt 744 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Ice Armor has been activated.]
[Ice Armor has 2370 HP.]
Eon put his arms down.
The snow slowly fell to the ground, some of it falling on the Thundursa's face as it stared at Eon, who was the first to ever withstand such attacks.
The Thundursa roared once more, unleashing Feral Roar and Thunder Outrage.
[Feral Roar has dealt 641 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Thunder Outrage has dealt 744 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Ice Armor has been activated.]
[Ice Armor has 2370 HP.]
And one more time...
[Feral Roar has dealt 641 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Thunder Outrage has dealt 744 damage to your Ice Armor.]
[Ice Armor has been activated.]
[Ice Armor has 2370 HP.]
And then three times more...
The Thundursa was left chasing its own breath after multiple attempts to eliminate Eon. None of its attacks even penetrated Eon's Ice Armor and Vanguard.
Eon, on the other hand, simply stood there watching the Thundursa struggle. He growled, drawing his prey's attention to himself. Then he moved and walked toward his helpless adversary... It was time for him to put an end to the fight.
Due to its survival instinct and refusal to die, the Thundursa turned its back on Eon, took advantage of its double top speed of 232 kilometers per hour, and rushed away in the hopes of escaping. It was wise enough to realize it couldn't win...
The scenery of the ferocious monster, who was widely feared for its cruelty, was now fleeing for its life. Eon raised his hand and pushed out his white sharp claws, staring at the back of his prey. Then he jumped to catch up with the Thundursa, who was running toward the thicket.
[Icy Touch has been activated.]
[Barbaric Rush has been activated.]
Eon waved his wings and flew towards the Thundursa at an incredible 430 kilometers per hour, making the Thundursa's enhanced speed seem slow in comparison. Eon quickly caught up with the Thundursa, spinning in the air and lunging a powerful punch in its head before slamming it into the ground.
The massive bear didn't even have a chance to react; there was no cry, just the sound of its frozen body shattered on the ground.
[Barbaric Rush has dealt 802.28 damage.]
[Icy Touch has dealt 714.59 damage.]

Eon flew away from the scene without looking back. As Eon flew above the trees, he left trails of snow on the ground.
[Snowfield has received two skill points.]
[The bonus damage and range of Snowfield have increased from level 11 (11%) (27.5 meters) to level 13 (13%) (32.5 meters).]
Eon began his search once more, continuing his hunt.
