Chapter 48 Beast's Subjugation Part 1
After Destiny fell asleep in Nova's arms, he hugged her for a few more minutes before laying her on the bed with care.
As he made his way out of the City Lord's Estate, Nova repeatedly remembered those moments. If his conjunction was correct, then it was sad.
He wasn't in the mood to fool around with Maria and Alicia, so he found a nearby inn and stayed there.
In the morning, he again went to the City Lord's Estate, where he met the Subjugation Team's members.
"Nova! You're here." Said Maria and Alicia coming towards him.
"Mm." He nodded to the sisters and the other members before looking towards Destiny, who seemed downcast.
Sensing Nova's gaze, Destiny tried to calm herself down and put on her usual cold face. She also had a clue as to who she was or what she was...
-----
After the Subjugation Team, composed of the City Guards, Royal Guards, and Nova, set off to the beast's territory, they noticed an increase in its population.
'There weren't as many beasts yesterday as there is tomorrow. Something is fishy.' Thought Nova as he spread his senses.
The others also noticed this strange phenomenon. It was like the beasts were forming a beast tide, a controlled one. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Quickly killing the surrounding beasts, they went deeper into the forest, trying to find the Nebula Beast King.
After half an hour of killing, they finally saw a few Evolver Stage Beasts standing in line as if waiting for them.
Behind the Evolver Stage beasts, there was a giant snake that had his eyes closed as if sleeping. Feeling the humans entering his territory, he opened his eyes, revealing two yellow eyes with large slits.
"Humans, why are you trespassing on my territory?" Asked the giant snake, who was over 30 meters long.
Destiny was fighting the Middle Nebula Stage as an equal, despite being only a Peak Evolver Stage.
Blue flames surrounded her, which slowed the snake's movement.
Seeing this, the snake was enraged and roared toward the sky as his yellow slits slowly became crimson red. He entered a frenzied state that doubled his power and slammed Destiny with his tail.
Destiny crashed against multiple trees before stopping on a nearby rock. She had blood trickling down her cherry lips that, combined with her blue eyes, made for quite an arousing scene.
Looking at the injured Destiny, Nova's heart hurt a little, his eyes slowly taking on a deep shade of red, just like his halo.
'Blazing Fire!" Not caring about the energy consumption, Nova was surrounded by a sea of flames that quickly expanded. Not wanting to waste more time, he used his ability in combat for the first time.
'DEVOUR' Black chains made of an unknown energy were released from his body, and he quickly approached the Evolver Stage Beasts.
The black chains were embedded into the beasts chest, and what began like a small pulse of energy transmitted to Nova's body quickly transformed into a stream that dried the beast of their energy, and even their bloodline...
Feeling the power coursing through his body, Nova felt his stagnant cultivation getting closer to the next level until BANG! He broke through what he considered to be Middle Stage 10.
After a few minutes of fighting the Middle Nebula Stage beast, Destiny had a lot of wounds on her body, and even her clothes were exposing some of her soft skin in some places, like her breasts, for example...
She was enraged fighting this snake because he kept escaping her attacks. Even her flames were absorbed by the scales on the snake's body. She quickly looked at Nova's battlefield and was surprised to see him suppress the beasts.
When Nova sensed Destiny look at him, he looked back and almost felt his legs go soft seeing her dangling breasts and almost forgetting he was on a dangerous battlefield.
'I almost interrupted my Ability, focus!' He recited mantras in his head to escape the nefarious thoughts.
He concentrated more on his Ability output and was overjoyed to see that his cultivation once again broke through a higher stage, attaining Late Stage 10.
'My earlier deduction was correct. It seems my earlier stagnation was caused by overlooking my use of Ability. Why even be bestowed by the [Awakening], if you won't use it?'
Quickly trying to finish his battle so he could help Destiny and kill the giant snake, Nova channeled his Ability at full power.
