A few seconds ago, if anyone had told everyone present here that a colossal fortress made of thick walls would burst out of the ground and trap all the Ravenous Monsters, no one would have believed it. But it was the current reality. A wall as tall as the Great Wall of China loomed before the special class students and the soldiers of the Tristan Kingdom, casting a shadow over them. It had been two minutes now, and still, everyone present couldn’t peel their eyes off the monstrous walls. The occasional bestial roars and shrieks of monsters still resounded from time to time, but they weren’t terrified. The wall provided a sense of protection. They didn’t know where the confidence came from, but they felt that no matter what, nothing would penetrate the wall. "An Ultimate-Tier skill..." Luton, the battalion leader, muttered to himself. He stared at Nox with sparkling eyes. Yes, from the aura alone, anyone paying attention could easily tell that the wall was the result of a skill—and a pretty powerful one at that. "Wow, I bet it must consume a ton of mana points," one soldier mumbled, his eyes gleaming with a blend of awe and amazement. "The important question is, how did someone his age stumble across such a powerful skill?" A lot of speculation was beginning to spread among the soldiers. Some thought Nox was royalty or the scion of a wealthy family with massive reserves of gold coins. They couldn’t think of any other way someone as young as this could acquire a skill like this. "Yes, he was brought up with a silver spoon." This was the common consensus. But then, Luton stroked his chin as he thought about something. "But even that first attack was an Ultimate Skill… could... could it be that this kid actually has two Ultimate-Ranked skills?" Luton’s heart accelerated, so loud that even he could hear it. Two Ultimate-Tier skills at such a low level? This was simply overkill! Meanwhile, in a different area, Glen’s gaze, unlike the others, wasn’t on the walls. Instead, it was fixed on Nox’s back, her thoughts unknown. However, if one were able to peer through the visor of her helmet, they would have seen fear in the depths of her eyes. As for Kali, he no longer thought Zara was the scariest student in the special class. Any little doubts he had were now gone.

Nox, unaware of the thoughts and conversations of the others, placed his palm on the wall. The texture was smooth and a bit cold. From time to time, a slight vibration transmitted from the wall to Nox’s arms whenever a monster slammed into it in an attempt to break through. Curious to see how things were on the other side, Nox soon activated [Barbarian Strength]. [Barbarian Strength (Ultimate)] An enhancement-type skill that temporarily elevates the user’s physical strength to unprecedented heights. Upon activation, the user’s Strength stat is increased by +600, transforming their physical power into an unstoppable force. Consumes 300 MP per activation and lasts for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Nox felt the veins on his legs constrict. Gritting his teeth, he stomped the ground. And... BOOM! A thunderous boom echoed, the ground cracked beneath his foot, sending shockwaves through the earth. The sheer force of his stomp sent a web of fissures sprawling outward, making the soldiers flinch at the raw display of power. Then, with a slight bend of his knees, Nox leaped. In an instant, he soared high above the towering Titanrock Barrier, defying gravity with his newfound strength. His hair fluttered violently in the wind as he reached the peak of his jump, his midnight eyes scanning the battlefield below. And what he saw made his smirk widen. The trapped monsters were in complete chaos. The horde of beasts, ranging from mutated wolves to towering ogres, were frantically slamming, clawing, and biting at the indestructible wall. Their bloodshot eyes brimmed with primal fury, but no matter how hard they tried, the barrier remained strong. A massive, four-armed beast with bulging muscles and a horned head lifted a gigantic boulder, roaring as it hurled it at the wall. BANG! The impact sent out a dull shockwave, but the Titanrock Barrier stood firm, its regenerative properties already sealing the minor cracks. Descending back toward the ground, Nox twisted his body midair and landed gracefully atop the wall. From this vantage point, he could see the full extent of the battlefield, and a cunning glint flashed in his eyes. "Not bad… but it’s not enough," he muttered. He needed to make sure these creatures didn’t just survive in this cage—he needed them to wear themselves out. Turning slightly, he raised his hand. "[Titanrock Barrier—Fortress Mode: Elevate.]" RUMBLE! The entire structure shuddered as the walls expanded even further, growing taller and thicker. The monsters below screeched in rage, their escape route now even more impossible. The soldiers and students gasped from the other side. "H-He can still strengthen it?!" "Is there a limit to this guy?" "At this rate, the monsters will be trapped forever!" Back atop the wall, Nox crossed his arms, monitoring the beasts below. They were doing all they could to break free, but it was useless. He had them exactly where he wanted. His gaze shifted to the more powerful beasts—ones that stood out among the rest. The four-armed abomination, a scaled lizard the size of a small house, and a crimson-eyed dire wolf that seemed to command a pack. Perfect targets. Raising his hand, Nox activated [Runic Dominion]. A deep crimson glow surged from the runes before dozens of razor-sharp blood spikes materialized around him, suspended in the air like a crimson halo. The temperature seemed to drop, the very essence of death radiating from the lethal projectiles. Then— Whoosh! The blood shards rained down like a storm of spears. Squelch! The first to fall was the four-armed beast. A dozen spikes impaled its massive body, piercing its thick hide as it let out a monstrous roar of agony. It staggered back, black blood gushing from the wounds before it collapsed, twitching violently. The scaled lizard tried to react, but Nox’s accuracy was too precise. Two spikes shot straight through its skull, ending its struggle before it could even screech. The crimson-eyed dire wolf, however, managed to evade. Its sharp instincts allowed it to dodge several spikes, but one still lodged deep into its shoulder, making it snarl in pain. Nox narrowed his eyes. "That one’s a bit more clever," he murmured. "Let’s see how it handles this." "Supreme Spirit Wolf come out!" A chilling gust swept through the battlefield as a massive spectral wolf materialized beside him. Its translucent form shimmered under the moonlight, its glowing blue eyes locking onto the dire wolf below with an almost predatory hunger. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 "Go," Nox commanded. The Supreme Spirit Wolf leaped from the wall. The moment it landed, the dire wolf turned, but it was too late. Crunch! The spectral beast’s jaws clamped down on the dire wolf’s neck, sinking its fangs deep. The enemy wolf howled in pain, trying to shake off its ethereal attacker, but the Supreme Spirit Wolf was relentless. With a brutal twist of its jaws— Snap! The dire wolf’s spine shattered. It crumpled lifelessly. But Nox wasn’t done. The other beasts, enraged by his interference, had finally turned their attention to him. Dozens of monsters screeched and howled, their bloodlust now directed at the lone figure standing atop the wall. Grinding his knuckles, Nox smirked. "Good." He pointed his arms out like a gun, dark energy beginning to gather there. "Come at me." --- Meanwhile: Blazy and Astralux continued to hover through the battlefield. The deeper they ventured, the more vicious the creatures became. Mutated wolves with molten fangs ripped apart colossal centipedes, while towering ogres battered swarms of winged abominations with their crude clubs. The stench of blood and scorched flesh thickened in the air. "Found anything?" Nox asked telepathically. [No boss yet,] Blazy responded, barely dodging a boulder hurled by a three-headed beast below. [But the density of monsters is increasing. Won’t be long now.] At that moment, Blazy let out a shrill cry, signaling Astralux to veer right. A hulking, deformed chimera-like creature lunged at them from below, its mismatched limbs flailing as it tried to catch them midair. Blazy twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the attack before retaliating with a burst of flames, scorching the beast. [We’re getting closer,] Blazy reported excitedly. [The energy in this area feels… heavier.] Even Astralux felt like the air was particularly thick in this area... it felt as if something was lurking nearby. They pushed forward. Then, they saw it. At the heart of the battlefield, standing atop a massive pile of corpses, was the boss monster. [We found it!] Blazy quickly reported. *** Thanks to all those who support supreme BeastTamer with their valuable Golden tickets and power stones I really appreciate!
