Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

"Isn't there a cooldown on that skill?" Captain Bofan muttered, unable to hide his concern. "And how much mana does this kid even have?"

Meanwhile, Nox focused entirely on the two dark beams growing just inches from his fingertips. Though cracks were beginning to show, the yeti-like elemental beast was still engulfed in flames, its legs and limbs still bound by the earth.

"Kid, whatever you're going to do, do it fast!" Reyes shouted through gritted teeth. It was only a matter of time before the elemental beast escaped his grasp.

With intense concentration, Nox tried to merge the two massive dark blasts, casting a long shadow behind him. The shadow didn't just look menacing—it sparked admiration from the onlookers.

"Damn it!" Nox's hair whipped in the air as the dark pulses resisted merging. It was as if they were enemies, and Nox feared that forcing them together could result in a devastating explosion in his face, which would leave him seriously injured.

After several attempts, Nox finally succeeded in merging the pulses. The effort drained his stamina, but there was no sign of fatigue in his eyes. Instead, his gaze locked onto the elemental beast, which was slowly breaking free of its shackles.

With the merging done, Nox began condensing the dark blast, now twice the size of the sun. A red vein bulged on his temple, and his entire body felt as though it were on fire as he compressed the dark energy into the size of a soccer ball—just like one from back on Earth.

With the ball-sized dark beam pulsating with power, ready to bring the world into shambles, Nox strained his legs, activated Divine Velocity, and appeared behind the creature. He glanced up at its back, particularly the spikes running along it, and unleashed the beam.

Just then, the elemental beast broke free from the earth shackles, and as it was about to create an ice armor around its skin to reduce the damage from the flames, the dark blast slammed into the spikes.

The moment the dark ball made contact with the creature's spikes, the world seemed to hold its breath. All the onlookers watched in anticipation, their hearts beating like wild drums. For a fraction of a second, everything stood still—the tension was so thick it was palpable. Then, with an earth-shattering roar, the explosion erupted.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A blinding flash of darkness—an almost paradoxical light—expanded outward in all directions. The core of the impact pulsed like a black star, rapidly consuming the beast like a hungry creature. The devastating blast carved a deep crater into the earth, flinging rocks, debris, and chunks of ice from the beast's half-formed armor.

The shockwave sent Nox and the others skidding back. Because of the intense heat, he was forced to regroup with the others. However, his eyes twitched when he noticed the elemental beast rapidly regenerating its body as if it were in a competition with the dark vortex trying to devour it.

Both Shadow Oblivion and the beast's regenerative skills were ultimate abilities; hence, the two powers seemed to have reached a tie.

"T-this is unbelievable!" Nox felt frustrated. This skill was the perfect counter for his destructive Shadow Oblivion. As long as there were body parts, the yeti-like beast would always regenerate.

"Then I'll just turn it to dust," Nox said, his eyes narrowing. He noticed that the beast's health had decreased slightly—he had hit a weak spot. If he could use Shadow Oblivion once or twice more, he might be able to finish it off.

"Silvermist Guild!" Nox shouted. "Fill the craters with fire—I need lava!"

The Silvermist Guild quickly responded, condensing fire and creating liquid. From their spot, the strands of liquid flew out and settled into the various craters strewn across the battlefield. They didn't know what Nox was planning, but they decided to believe in him.

Though it drained their mana, the mages of the Silvermist Guild completed the task, and soon smoke began to rise as the frozen forest started to thaw. From a distance, they continued feeding the lava to keep it from being extinguished by the cold.

"Guide Masters," Nox called to Reyes. "I need you to build a wall enclosing me and the beast. Make sure it's 450 meters wide and stay at least 500 meters away." brought-to-you-by-MvLeMpYr

"B-but!" Reyes hesitated, but before he could continue, Nox assured him, his voice calm.

"Trust me, I've got this."

Feeling the confidence in those words, Reyes nodded.

So far, all of Nox's predictions had been right. Even though the kid was a potential spy, Reyes was beginning to trust him. He could feel it—if they wanted to get rid of this terrifying beast, they needed to follow the kid's lead.

The guild master watched Nox's back, a brief glint of admiration flashing across his eyes.

He then nodded to the rest of the group to distance themselves from the battle. Nox had specifically suggested that they stay about 500 meters away and that the earth wall should be over 440 meters in width and length. Reyes felt the wall was excessive and would eat into his mana reserve. However, he didn't complain.

From Nox's confident gaze alone, he knew the kid had found a way to defeat the elemental beast.

"As long as this beast is defeated, I don't mind," Reyes commented as he slammed his palm onto the ground, causing an intense vibration felt by everyone. Reyes's gaze was focused; manipulating the earth on such a scale required intense concentration, and a distraction could cause disaster.

BANG! BANG!

Soon, loud sounds rang out as towering earth walls began to erupt from the ground, boxing Nox in the middle.

At that moment, the elemental beast jumped out of the swirling vortex that was now fading away, unharmed—though Nox could tell it was several times weaker.

The yeti-like elemental beast stared at what was happening—the earth wall rising into the air reflected in its clear blue eyes. Despite knowing that it would be stuck with the annoying human, the beast didn't escape. Instead, it glared at Nox with a gleam in its eyes.

Then, for the first time, Nox, who had been trying to communicate with the beast, heard its ancient voice filled with power in his head.

"Young one, I hope you're the worthy one... I hope you'll be the one to give me that final push... so don't die early."

The beast's low yet powerful voice boomed in Nox's head like a loudspeaker, and before he could even give a proper answer, the towering walls finally reached their estimated height. The voices of the others ceased, and now Nox was all alone with the elemental beast.
