Chapter 459 Mission Ends

(From MC's perspective)

Monster Zone,

Seeing the bull monster is getting berserk. I gripped my sword tightly and began to pour lightning essence into the sword. Soon the black blade flickered with a purple glow. Feeling the bursting power in it. I raised my sword against the monster and made a target in his eyes.

"Sword Divide," I released the lightning beam the next second. The powerful beam shot at the monster in a blink of an eye.

When everyone is hesitant, a purple beam went past them out of nowhere.

Bang!

The lightning beam lands a blow to the monster's eye. Which caused the berserk state to unstable. A gruesome injury can be seen in the monster's eyes. The attack from Zack came out as a surprise again.

Using this opportunity, Michael made his move. He released consecutive golden light attacks on the monster.

A few minutes later,

The Bull Monster lost its breath. Seeing that everyone sighed in relief. Now with this monster core their mission has come to an end. They can now return back to the academy.

Ernest who is on guard suddenly turned toward Zack and said," Your lightning element doesn't seem to be that weak. It can injure Class-5 Monster. But the only drawback is that it's not easy to replenish lightning elements here."

Hearing Ernest's words, I wasn't surprised. Because it's the fact. Unlike other elements, it's not easy to absorb lightning energy from the surroundings. Unless it's a specific blessed land of the lightning element.

Various thought comes to my mind before I say, "Yes."

This situation is not only difficult for me. But for others with Special elements as well. In this case, Ernest is slightly blessed. His soil element is a variant of the earth element. He can cultivate like any other earth elemental warrior.

Michael focused on dissecting the monster's body. Laverne as usual took her ice affinity stones to recover. A strange glint flashes in my eyes. She at least got ice affinity stones for practice.

"Do I have to wait for year-end to come?" I said in my heart.

Certainly, I can't waste the meantime. Like the teacher had said I have only two years to study here. So each and every day is important.

Several minutes later,

We reached the teleportation point. Which is much hidden from the surroundings. After clearing the rocks, we found a similar metal platform marked on the ground. Then we stepped inside one after another.

When four of us stood inside the circle platform. Michael activated some signal. Right after, the circular platform lit up with blue colors.

Swish!

We disappeared from the spot and appeared back inside the teleportation tower.

"We are back," Laverne said with joy.

"Yeah, it's lucky that we didn't come across Class-6 Monster," Ernest said with somewhat relief.

"Class-6 Monster?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

Then I see Michael remaining silent. I was wondering how to deal with the savage aura of Class-5 Monster. But if it's Class-6 Monster, I can only imagine the horror. I remember the piece of advice from Jonathan. He told me that high-level monsters are not that simple.

My expression couldn't help but turn serious.

Several minutes later,

I returned to my room. The group seems to be exhausted. Especially, Michael seems to have used his whole essence in his dantian. Only after some practice, can they replenish the reserve. After handing over mission items, we parted ways.

Considering my situation my expression couldn't help but turn ugly.

Before doing anything, I should take a shower.

A few minutes later,

5 P.M

Sitting on a chair, I'm going through online information. There are various facilities available to the warriors in the academy. But not all of them are free. You need certain points to access them.

As a new student, I received some points from the management. But I'm not in hurry to use it. I'm planning to use the facilities when I hit the bottleneck. Then I browse some other news.

Some exciting news caught my eye. In particular, the competition between four-grade institutions. I have learned a few things from my classmates. Competition not only exists among the students but also among the teachers.

Warriors in D grade institution wants to join C grade intuition. Similarly C to B and B to A grade institutions. Fortunately, my starting is high. Then I also saw the news about me. A strange glint flashes in my eyes upon seeing my picture walking along with Michael and others.

"People from the flame faction. What's with them?" I muttered to myself. Clearly, their actions are annoying. I hope their interest dies down after a couple of days. Now the news should have reached other factions in the academy.

Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.

A few minutes later,

I closed online pages and decided to cultivate. After stepping inside the training room, I sat cross-legged. I took out the class-5 monster core from the storage ring and placed it on my palm. Sensing the savage aura releasing from the core, my heart skips a beat.

I hope that the blood element will suppress the savage aura. I closed my eyes and began to run the blood element method. Right after, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Slowly, I feel the savage aura starts to recede.

My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Now I'm sure that there will be no problem with the cultivation.

Slowly, I began to observe the energy from the monster's core. As the energies entered my body, the hazy blood light instantly appeared. It immediately began to convert the energy into white energy.

Then the white energy slowly drilled into my bones. I feel the heart-wrenching pain the next second. For a second, I even lost my senses. My mind appeared to be in a blank space for a moment.

After a few seconds, I returned back to reality. But the pain returned back as well.

Time passed in a blink of an eye.

I noticed the changes in my bones half an hour later. This time the red tattoo completely covered my left foot. I don't know what these changes are meant. In particular the redbones. I have a vague feeling that the blood element method is completely changing my physique including my bones.

My expression turned solemn. I don't know whether it's good or bad. But I feel cultivating the blood element method is necessary. To accept the ancient inheritance, I have to be eligible for that. Only by practicing this method, I can develop my physique.

Then pushing down these thoughts, I looked at the monster core in my palm. Seeing that the monster's core is filled with energy, a look of disbelief appeared on my face. Because the monster core looked brand new.

Which shows there is plenty of energy left inside the monster's core. Seeing that I continued to absorb the energy.

1 hour later,

The monster core in my palm crumbles into pieces. Feeling that I opened my eyes and began to inspect my condition. I vaguely felt the barrier but I'm not sure. I believe after one more monster core, I will touch the body limit again.

But I'm not happy at all. I want my both body and essence cultivation to go in parallel. I don't want to have too much gap between these two.

Then I got up from the ground and walked out of the training room. Feeling the energy in my muscles and bones, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. The image of a Class-5 Monster comes to mind.

"I should do something about my lack of combat experience," I mumbled under my breath.

The best way is to train inside the monster zone. After gaining some clarity, I made up my mind to ask my classmates later.

…

Meanwhile,

A few hours ago,

Dean Rebecca Smith is listening to the information about Zack Lockwood. Hearing that he had joined hands with other Special element warriors. A trace of worry flashes in her eyes.

Then she quickly goes through the details of the mission. Seeing that it's a mission to collect the monster core of Class-5 Monster. Her expression becomes dignified. She knows about the monster zone.

Instead of calling it a monster zone, it's best to call it wilderness. There are many Class-5 and Class-6 Monsters roaming inside the #64 Monster Zone. For a newcomer, the place is not safe.

She is not worried about the other special element warriors. Because the old students are familiar with teleportation sites. In case of any threat, they know how to escape. Besides they are not without life-protecting items.

That's why she is unsure about Zack. "Should we send some guards for protection?" She muttered to herself. Then she made up her mind to send at least one Super Elite Warrior for their protection.

Right after her clearance, a shadow followed behind Zack and others. When they entered the teleportation, the shadow entered as well.
