Chapter 425: Danger Lurks in the Corner

A few minutes ago, Nox had swiftly sent Blazy and Astralus, the two creatures with area dominance, to head deeper into the monstrous horde to thoroughly scout for more powerful creatures—specifically speaking, the boss monster.

In Eos, there were primarily two easy methods to efficiently end a dangerous portal break.

The first method was purging all the ravenous monsters. This approach, however, would take weeks and even months because the monsters inside a dimension were almost endless, constantly respawning.

Nox had several significantly more important matters to carefully attend to, and he simply couldn’t afford to remain here for that long. His busy schedule was packed.

Evolving his beasts.

Heading to the Frostpire Kingdom.

Facing the terrifying Scourge Alpha.

These were currently the most critical and pressing goals for him.

Considering all this, he decisively chose the next approach, one that could effectively end the endless tide of monsters spewing out of the dimensional portal once and for all.

And this was…

Slaying the formidable dimensional boss itself.

But, of course, this was much easier said than done.

Nox estimated that the dimensional boss of a level-six dimension such as this would most likely be at the Demi-God rank, and quite honestly, even with all the ultimate-tier skills in his formidable arsenal, he wasn’t too confident in escaping this intense fight completely unscathed.

It was a Demi-God beast, after all. Nox wasn’t even really sure—it could be higher.

A monster of that caliber could slaughter everyone here.

It was the reason most kingdoms didn’t lend a helping hand to Tristan, as they felt this was a losing war.

However, the important thing was that… he wouldn’t be the only one engaging in battle against the monstrous boss. The elite special-class students were right there with him, and then there were also the battle-hardened Tristan soldiers, along with the scared yet competent battalion leader, who was at the Expert rank.

The only Expert currently present on this battlefield.

Not only that, but Nox had also overheard that reinforcements would be arriving soon as well. There were even rumors circulating that one or perhaps even two level-100-plus awakened individuals would be joining these reinforcements.

Nox didn’t plan on recklessly engaging the boss monster just yet.

This raised an important question then—why search for the boss monster now?

The answer was rather simple.

He just wanted to keep a close eye on it so that when the timing was finally right, he wouldn’t have to waste precious time searching for it again.

Swoosh!

Nox spun his body around with precise agility, narrowly avoiding the sharp claws of an Emperor-tier monster.

BOOM!

The monster’s massive claws smashed violently into the ground, and a large crater instantly appeared, with rust-colored dust billowing out in every direction.

The furious monster roared, visibly enraged, and proceeded to pull its claws out, preparing to strike at Nox again. However, it was already far too late, as its opponent was now upon it with terrifying speed.

A gigantic, blood-forged pillar with a constantly rotating tip materialized ominously above the monstrous creature and drilled downward with tremendous force.

The very moment the blood-imbued pillar made contact, it began spinning violently, burrowing deep into the monster’s thick hide like a relentless, merciless drill.

Flesh was viciously ripped apart, bones shattered like brittle glass, and a fountain of dark crimson blood sprayed furiously into the air.

The Emperor-tier beast let out a deafening, guttural roar of agony.

It desperately tried to resist, thrashing violently, but the sheer overwhelming pressure from the spiraling weapon held it completely in place, twisting deeper into its very core.

SHRRRRK!

The drilling force intensified. The gruesome scene became significantly more horrifying to watch, and the surrounding Tristan soldiers were forced to peel their eyes away, unable to stomach the sight any longer.

However, Nox watched with a bored, dismissive gaze, as if this was nothing more than a routine occurrence for him—something he did every single day.

Then, with one final, violent crunch, the blood pillar tore straight through the beast’s back, bursting out from the other side in a gruesome explosion of shredded organs and fractured bones.

The Emperor-tier monster twitched once, its massive body convulsing. Then, it collapsed with a sickening, resounding thud, its enormous form hitting the ground like a fallen titan.

Nox didn’t even spare a second to glance at the screen announcing his gained experience points, as he swiftly moved on to engage the remaining beasts without pause.

He employed the exact same devastating blood-drill tactic and, in mere moments, slaughtered the other Emperor-tier beast just as effortlessly.

The surrounding Tristan soldiers, who had just witnessed this entire shocking event, collectively sucked in a sharp breath. They stood frozen in place for several seconds, their minds struggling to process what had just transpired before their eyes.

For a moment, they momentarily forgot that they were still on the chaotic battlefield.

The very same powerful Emperor-tier monster that they had been desperately struggling against for so long… had just been completely annihilated in mere seconds.

“…Two Emperor-tier monsters gone, just like that… a freaking Emperor-tier…” a soldier muttered, his voice laced with pure disbelief.

“Holy hell… this kid… just what is he?”

Even the experienced Expert-ranked battalion leader, still catching his breath from fending off a relentless wave of monsters, turned his gaze toward Nox, eyes narrowed with deep thought. Though he could replicate the incredible feat Nox had just accomplished, that was only because he was an Expert-ranked individual. Nox, on the other hand, was still a low-level Awakened.

His grip tightened around the communication crystal, and he silently made a mental note to report additional detailed information about Nox to Commander Luthair.

Yes… he was the informant.

Nox exhaled calmly, retracting the blood pillar. It dissolved into a thick crimson mist, gradually fading into nothingness as he straightened his posture.

His sharp eyes scanned the battlefield, taking in the exhausted expressions of the weary soldiers. It was clear that they were once again beginning to reach their limits.

They had been fighting tirelessly since the early hours of the morning, and now, the darkened sky signaled that night was quickly approaching once again.

This particular horde was significantly stronger than the one they had fought yesterday, which was entirely natural. They had advanced much deeper into the battlefield, and the deeper they ventured, the more powerful and formidable the monsters they encountered became.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Nox’s piercing eyes glinted with sudden realization.

He had just come up with a rather brilliant idea—one that would provide a brief but much-needed respite for the soldiers.

But little did he know that danger was just lurking in the corner.
