He can no longer continue accumulating thunder energy, seeing that the Supernaturals are already retreating. Without hesitation, he transforms his clouds into their thundercloud form.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! His eyes widen as the mammoth actually takes all the lightning strikes head without even flinching; in fact, the thunder energy was absorbed by its ice armour, only increasing its defence.
'F*ck! ' He curses loudly as he immediately realises that his opponent is immune, or at least has the ability to disperse the violent force of lightning.
He is unable to fight them head-on; his current form is not strong enough, and he can only sigh in disappointment as he sees them leave. He returns to his dragon-tiger form and can only watch as the purple eagle gets beaten up by the golden monk.
He is extremely vigilant; he will not let anyone escape under his watch. The purple eagle falls in despair as it watches its so-called comrades, leaving them all alone.
It lets out a piercing cry; its flock immediately rises to the sky, and all of them are now flying to its rescue, but this is quite futile.
The mammoth raises its trumpet, and its herd starts charging to the battlefield once again. Riding them were the sword slaves that are at the peak of Advanced Grade. It seems that they do not evolve into a fake supernatural and are directly promoted to a true supernatural after they achieve their evolution.
Following behind them are an uncountable number of diverse lifeforms; even someone as courageous as him turns pale after seeing this. He roars to the golden monk.
"Teacher! You need to hurry up and kill that thing!"
The golden monk does not know that there are now tens of thousands of lifeforms approaching them, but hearing the urgency in his voice, his expression becomes grave. He raises his palm and strikes; a giant palm appears out of thin air and flies towards the purple eagle.
The eyes of the purple eagle become sharp, its speed abruptly increases, and its body turns into a blur, piercing through the golden palm. The golden monk leaps and uses his palm to stop it, but his expression changes as he does not feel anything.
The purple eagle's eyes light up; its gamble pays off; turning its body into an elemental form for a split second saves it's life, but unfortunately, this would undoubtedly ruin its foundation, and it would take it hundreds of years or so to recover after all the cost of this ability was its blood essence and his own bloodline.
"Where do you think you are going!?" Cleo's eyes sharpen upon seeing this; he transforms into his malevolent tiger form and attacks.
(Yin Claws)
The purple eagle lets out a pained cry, causing its flock to panic and increase their speed to rescue it.
"Hurry up!" Cleo roars as he takes in a large amount of air into his chest, puffing it. The golden monk does not know what he is planning to do, but he knows one thing: he cannot waste such an opportunity.
He leaps and grabs the body of the purple eagle and smashes it into the ground. Without giving it any second to recover, he starts pummeling it with all his anger and strength behind his strikes.
As the flocks of the purple eagle approach, Cleo no longer holds it in and releases an extremely loud roar that stuns everyone, including the golden monk, but it seems that his attack is not that effective as it only takes one second to disperse the effect of his attack.
(Torment Roar)
The lifeforms start attacking each other with blood-red eyes. Cleo was shocked by this, and his expression quickly changes as he checks the information regarding his malevolent tiger form.
Malevolent Tiger: A unique type of technique containing similar practices, sets of movements, and breathing styles to the other half of the Dragon-Tiger Body Manual.
Passive skills: (malevolent presence), (bloodthirst), (Yin Creature)
Malevolent Presence: As a being of pure chaos, your presence will intimidate everyone, causing them to fear you. Those who have weak will will hallucinate your form into a form that they consider the most terrifying in their hearts and minds.
Bloodthirst: Able to absorb blood to recover your health and increase your strength; the more blood absorbed, the greater the ability that you can release.
Yin Creature: Born of evil yin, you are capable of absorbing all sorts of yin energy in any world.
Active Skills: (Slaughter Ghost Claws), (Torment Roar), (Berserk)
Slaughter Ghost Claws: An attack that evolved after absorbing a dense amount of death energy and killing. Deals both physical and energy-based damage, can be used as a long-range attack, but will lose the physical damage in the process. Those that are hit by this attack will suffer bleeding and the corruption of death energy. This attack uses malvolent presence, causing its target to freeze.
Torment Roar: Enhanced by killing intent and the remaining resentment of entities that were killed, it causes those who hear it to lose their minds.
[Berserk: Release all the killing intent, death energy, and resentment accumulated to abruptly increase the user's power, incarnating into a chaotic entity of death, destruction, and sin.]
He has been absorbing the killing intent and death energy on the battlefield, especially inside the stronghold, as there are documents that ghosts will form in a place full of such energy. Fortunately, the stronghold is not full of your energy.
He did not expect that such a thing would cause his Malevolent Tiger Form to evolve; no wonder its spirit has started to actually suppress its nemesis, the Thunder Cloud Dragon.
'But still, this form is truly not fit for a team fight.' He inwardly muses after discovering the effect of its abilities; it does not differentiate allies and enemies.
He sees that his attack was extremely effective on such a large number of targets, but suddenly, the owner of the unknown roar lets out a loud cry that startles all the lifeforms. Their eyes gradually become clear.
He frowns upon seeing this. It seems that as long as one has strong enough mental strength and psychic energy, they can negate his roar, but at least the damage is already done.
The golden monk returns back to his original form; he seems to be exhausted. Not wanting to harm him, he deactivates his malevolent tiger form and reverts back to his dragon-tiger form, grabbing him and the corpse of the purple eagle. He immediately retreats.
(Dragon Flight)
Meanwhile, back at the camp, all the major powers currently present in the stronghold have gathered: the army, the Diamond Family, the Destmond Family, the Freedom Warriors, and the Oriend Family.
The Destmond Family is the rival of the Oriend Family. They might not have an abnormal genius like Margaret, but they have the Star Twins, who are stronger than Margaret if they work together. In fact, even if Flare fights with Margaret, they are still weaker than the twins because the two have a special trait that strengthens their strength if they work together, but as individuals, they are actually weaker than Flare.
The Freedom Warriors are actually considered a force that is not governed by a single power; it is made up of smaller groups of genetic warriors that band together so that no major power can suppress them.
"Now that everyone of you has gathered, I am here to inform everyone that the academy will take control of this stronghold, which means everyone here must follow our command!" A strict-looking man from the Barbarian Race snorts after seeing the loud crowd.
The commander of the army frowns. Ersha can see that his superiors are actually thinking of wrestling with the authority of the academy; she cannot help but sigh and shake her head in disappointment.
The other major power immediately agrees; after all, if they are in a war, they must answer to one chain of command; if they disagree, it will only weaken their force and might cause them to lose the portal.
"Everyone! I bring news!" Suddenly, someone shouted, breaking the solemn atmosphere; it was Iron Captain riding Glutton.
Just as the other teacher frowns because of his sudden interruption, it was the female teacher that asks him.
"What information do you have?"
She instantly recognised Glutton. She has gathered enough information regarding Cleo in this short amount of time, as his reputation is quite well known in the stronghold. She also obtained information about Glutton and Leon.
"The Genetic lifeforms are currently approaching the Stronghold! The defensive wall is destroyed by some sort of elephant lifeform that is unknown to me and my group! Currently, Lord Miracle Child and a teacher are buying time for us to return and inform everyone about the incoming tide of lifeforms!" Everyone is stunned by this.
Iron Captain takes a deep breath and finally drops another shocking news.
"A teacher was killed in the battle."
