<strong>Mountains of Zragos, Arcana world;</strong>
In the deeper part of the level-3 snowy region where there are no trees present and is filled with glacial ice sheets and small-shrub tundra, located closer to the north pole of the planet, a handsome young man covered is engaged in a battle against an angry large white wolf with hundreds of dead wolves around them. The wolf seemed to be heavily injured.
"You are only prolonging your suffering. Surrender and help me grow stronger by becoming my meat just like your brethren." Vann aka Draco Galarian said with a smile on his face, trying to provoke an angry snow wolf.
*Grrr* Letting out a growl, the platinum grade wolf cursed him, "I will shred you to pieces, you bas***d."
Despite knowing that it was facing a top-tier beast of the same realm, it doesn't have an ounce of fear in its eyes. If anything, its aggressiveness is only increasing with each minute. Of course, if the Draco Galarian was in the peak stage of the Upper Elite realm, then, it would have probably backed out, but its opponent was only at the beginner stage while it is at the peak stage.
As a beast that possessed intelligence, the white wolf knew that no matter how strong the Draco Galarian is, its soul power was only limited to 3 million while it has over 9.5 million. So, it intended to drag the battle. However, due to its aggressive nature and the rage built up by the death of its family members, the white wolf couldn't help but attack him constantly so that its opponent will focus on using the soul power for defending.
Alas, it didn't know that the Draco Galarian wasn't some top-tier platinum grade beast but a Celestial grade beast, which can absorb the natural energy from the surroundings with ease and recover its soul energy ten times faster than a top tier platinum grade beast.
Being a more intelligent beast, Vann was just putting up an act to make his enemy feel that it has a chance against him. While he let himself be injured by the wolf's attacks, in secret, he was absorbing the natural energy continuously but not refining it yet.
After an hour of battle, both of them were heavily bleeding, and can be said that they were on the brink of death. The white wolf didn't have much soul power left except for one soul skill. Seeing that its opponent was also in the same condition, it decided to gamble.
*Awooo*
Letting out a howl, the white wolf jumped back to increase the distance and unleashed its skill, gathering all of its remaining soul energy at the mouth.
Putting up a serious expression, Vann used all of his soul energy to form a defensive barrier and block the attack. In an instant, a huge turquoise-colored shield formed in front of him.
The snow wolf fired a powerful Ice beam with minus two hundred degrees Celsius, cold enough to freeze anyone under Supreme Realm as long as they weren't defending themselves.
The Ice beam hit the shield. Cracks started to appear all over but eventually, it was frozen before it was collapsed altogether. But, still, it managed to stop the attack.
The wolf started to pant, indicating its tiredness, and is currently trying to recover its soul energy as soon as possible.
It was just then a smirk appeared on Vann as he took out a card from his pocket. It has seven stars on it. "It's a pity that you never visited the human world and restricted yourself to this primitive planet."
<strong>"Skill card: Heal, activate."</strong>
In an instant, the pre-activated healing card now become active and poured a tremendous amount of light energy into his body, healing his injuries, almost instantly. At the same time, more than half of his soul power was also recovered completely as he refined all of the absorbed natural energy.
The wolf was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. It finally realized the reality.
"Goodbye, little pup." Vann raised his hand. A mini sun started to form in the skies, raising the temperature in the surroundings.
As it was almost about to be formed, all of a sudden, he felt a chill on his spine and immediately activated his senses. He sensed the presence of two familiar auras and they were so close to his location. Before he gets to react to the situation, an extremely dark spear passed by him swiftly and struck the wolf that was on the brink of its death.
The wolf turned into charcoal and left behind a pure white energy orb in the air.
"You…" His anger rose to the peak as he turned around to find three familiar instead. It was Claire, Leah, and Azzy who were in the black robes that erased their presence and even managed to fool a Celestial grade beast until now.
But, he doesn't care about the numbers as his eyes were full of red and an angry roar escaped from his mouth, "How dare you snatch my prey."
"It's been a while, Vann Hildegard." Leah addressed him while looking at him coldly, "or should I say, Galarian King."
Her words made Vann return to his senses and he tried to feign ignorance with a frown on his face, "Galarian King? What are you talking about, Princess Leah?"
"Drop the act, Galarian King, no, Draco-Galarian King. I knew that it was you who possessed Prince Leonard after killing him and then, you killed Prince Vann after my fight with him, then, transforming into a new face." Azzy spoke this time. He may look indifferent on the outside, but inwardly, his blood was boiling in anger as this beast caused him a lot of trouble, although he only gained from these misfortunate incidents.
Vann fell silent upon hearing Azzy's words. Remembering the past ten months, he mumbled, "no wonder this brat was always being cautious with me no matter how friendly I acted. Wait a second…"
Suddenly, something clicked in his head and he realized that there were only three of them and no other human is lying in ambush even in ten-kilometer surroundings.
A laugh escaped from his mouth, "well, you cost me my late-night dinner. But, never matter, my food came right to my mouth. Once I consume the two of you, I will become a Divine Grade beast, hahahaha."
"Divine Grade? What was he talking about?" Claire felt confused by his words and asked Azzy. After all, she never heard of such a thing.
"The one before us is a Celestial Grade beast, a grade above the Platinum grade. And the one above Celestial Grade is the Divine Grade." Leah gave away the answer in a hurry before Azzy explained to her. Even after deciding to just treat her as a stranger, she still didn't throw away wanting to undermine Claire. So, she said without even bothering to ask Azzy's opinion, "I and Azrael possess Celestial Grade beasts. Once it eats us and consumes our Arcana spirits, it will evolve once again. But, at the same time, we can also defeat him if we once together."
"Celestial grade?" Claire looked at her boyfriend in shock.
