The beast's beak moved down aiming to bite off my head.
'Time to get serious,' I thought to myself, I can still get time to practice but now I am not going to take this lying down.
As the beast brought down its head, I raised my arm to where its beak would be, I concentrated my mana in my arm and ad as the bird was getting my mouth into its jaw, I used fire magic on the beak. I poured in more mana into the flame and the yellow flame turned bright blue, the beast fell back with its head on fire.
It let go of my shoulders and since I was now free from its grasp, I rose up in the air turning to face the beast, I used mana of the water attributed and after making a long string with it and then whipped it at the beast and slit its neck in an instant.
The bird began falling and as it did ice encased it and when it got to the ground it was swallowed by the ground.
The wounds on my body began healing and the armour repaired itself.
"Maybe I should test my limit, I have never really known the limit of my abilities," I said to myself.
A thirst for testing myself was rising, and quenching the thirst might have been interesting.
Once all my wounds had healed up and my armour fully repaired I began flying to where there were several beasts.
I stood in the middle of where they were and roared out.
Using radar I could tell where they were and their movements.
As I waited for them I saw it fit to make adjustments to my armour, I bulked it up, it reduced the density but I would increase the range of my defence, the clothes I was wearing changed into a full set of armour with the helmet and everything except a cape. The axes in my hands formed gauntlets on my arms, in my recent battles I had seen myself using my hands more.
Two beasts were closest to me and seconds away.
A fire-attributed tiger and a water-attributed wolf, they were both roughly five metres long.
I was in a tiny clearing with the fifteen-metre-long trees covering my surroundings. The two beasts arrived at relatively the same time and wasted no time before pouncing at me.
'Since I am going all out, I can use everything.'
Using light magic I formed strings in the air and tied the two they were shocked before they began tearing at them using their claws, by then ALdin was already done with his preparations.
Light-attributed fire was in the air floating around them. They did not even get the chance to notice it before they were attacked by the flames. Their fur caught fire as they were struggling to put out the fire the earth suddenly rose in several calms and the beast was caught and dragged into the ground and as a giant condensed ice lance stopped them killing them in an instant and spreading ice around it as it was swallowed into the ground.
Not long after a giant wind-attributed monkey, water-attributed tiger, fire-attributed eagle and a giant earth attribute snake arrived.
'This is going to be a challenge.' I thought with a smile forming on my face.
All the beasts charged in on me, and the first thing I did was unleash a blast of light on them, they had sensitive sight and were blinded by the light stunning them for a moment, as they were frozen I activated my water lord rune and once I gained control of the water around me I brought all the water towards me and conjured more using water magic and it began encasing all the beast but the snake did not take it lightly and broke through going up on some of the trees, it wrapped around a bunch of trees and rose it's top body, obviously a single tree would be unable to handle its weight. Earth spikes rose from the ground almost causing me harm.
I jumped up in time coming up the level of the snake's head.
I raised my hand ready to hit it but the eagle from the side flew at me capturing me with its claws. Using my strength I was able to break free and fly away from it, before any other beast coils got to me I used thunder to shock all those that were close to me. The snake was still on the trees and with my right hand I formed a large claw and flew straight to it piercing its stomach and the next second it had its jaw aimed at me.
I formed a giant ice block in its mouth and with lighting in my hand, I attacked the monkey electrocuting it. Before letting it go and moving to the other beast that was freeing itself I formed a blade with my armour and stabbed its chest.
The eagle and tiger were free from their restraints and jumped at me. I flew up higher and only the eagle was able to follow me, there I fired ice shards with frost touch in them and, they stuck to the giant bird's wings freezing its tips and building weight on it, sadly it realised the trick I was pulling on it and unleashed a burst of fire from its body and going into flames. With a sudden burst of speed, it got to me, using my gauntlets i puched it away as I was about to chase after it, giant ice rocks fired at me, the tiger was not going to let me off the hook that easily but I need to take care of one of them before the others broke free from their restraints. I dodged the tiger's attack using radar while still maintaining my battle with the eagle, I would also dodge its attacks waiting for an opening that came sooner than I expected. The eagle almost got hit by one of the tiger's attacks and moved back stopping its attacks at me, I flew in towards it and with lightning in my hands sent the eagle to the ground. I began diving ready to take on the tiger but I was met by the snake that almost chomped me whole, i moved back and out of instinct fired a fire ball at it. The tiger was not idle and kept on firing the rocks at me. Suddenly as well a great gale surrounded me and began pulling me to the monkey that had also freed itself.
The snake was back and rocks from the ground rose floating next to it, they formed giant spikes that fired at me, all three beasts were now attacking me it was hard but I was able to dodge all their attacks while also making preparations of my own, when I saw the first opportunity I went up into the sky in the sky waiting for me were giant thin lances that had been greatly condensed as I dodged the attacks. First I had to take down the easiest of them and the least capable of moving, the lances in the air went down at an extreme speed and pierced the tiger to the ground injuring it and making it incapable of moving at all, now I was only left with the snake and the monkey. I fled down fast catching the monkey off guard. In my hands was a lot of mana and I held the monkey and used frost touch on it, its body had gotten heavy now, next up was the snake, the remaining lance in the sky, I sent them down impaling its lower body to the ground. With both of them now distracted and not moving I could stun them.
Holding his hands towards them, Aldin fired dense lightning needles at them piercing them stunning them slightly and stopping them from moving.
Now that all of them were down and out of the count, it was time for the finale. I summoned a large amount of water mana and converted it too lightning, a storm was brewing above me and I unleashed it on all of them stunning them in an instant.
'Finally, i am done with them,' I thought to myself but I was mistaken.
He next moment my instincts made me rise in the sky and from below me I could feel several creatures surround the area, what came out was somthing I did not expect.
Gian spiders appeared under me. They were very many, I could tell they were all differently attributed. But that was the least worrisome part, they began throwing webs at me.
The webs stuck to me and they were extremely elastic, I could feel even more of them coming at me.
'I will deal with this later.
I poured mana to my surrounding area and using fire magic burnt all of them and flew higher into the sky.
The spider kept on growing in number and they bit the beasts I had been hunting and began dragging them away. From the sky I could only watch as they did this and my anger continued to grow, and without me knowing, lightning was forming on my sides, after all i was watching some lowly beast take my prey from under me.
