Chapter 1088: Eliminating The Maritime Threats 3



Tear could control the element of ice with tremendous precision, dexterity, and mastery. Having spent thousands of years as the Ice Queen, the power of the crown granted her a gift that even with the treasure destroyed, ended giving her unparalleled control over ice.

And as she continued leveling up and becoming stronger, her magic only became more potent. The necklace made of Veredorr's Soul Crystal shone with a slight brilliance, she didn't notice, as she channeled her Icy Powers to her limits.

"I'll freeze all of you... {Frozen Sea}!"

FLUOSH!

The seas immediately began to freeze around her. Over thirty monsters were caught in the frost, instantly freezing into ice cubes within the sea, which suddenly became much colder than before. The ice kept expanding, capturing more and more monsters as they kept appearing.

Maria assessed her surroundings as she looked at everyone fighting, for a moment she considered closing the gates now that they had gained enough EXP, but the monsters would simply never stop coming.

"Is this some sort of infinite EXP glitch? How is that Leviathan thing summoning so many monsters?" she wondered, swinging her hands as enormous claws made of Void Sea ripped apart the monsters in front of her. "Well, nobody looks tired, so let's keep this up for a little while more... Or until they close, one of the two."

With a smile, Maria continued supporting everyone, quickly noticing Silva, Blackie, and Catarina's teamwork. The former evil Vampiress had died once, then a second time after her physical body was completely destroyed. However, after realizing how strong her soul had become, Maria ended evolving her into a mighty spectral ghost.

One containing Catarina's already developing fighting and demonic abilities, despite no longer having a physical body, much like her, Catarina was now able to materialize her body at will and channel tremendous physical strength this way.

Meanwhile, although Silva was rather clumsy underwater and unable to fight properly, with Blackie carrying her around and her powerful Miasmic Ability named {Miasmic Boost}, she was not only temporarily evolving most of the children's powers, but also her own and that of Catarina.

"ROOOAAR!"

A furious three-headed Shark Chimera, with the lower half of a giant octopus rushed towards them, and three more like them also appeared from above and below. These were S Rank Monsters with sizes varying between forty to sixty meters of height, true behemoths!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At the same time, Silva was also using her own magic, still trying to get the hang of it, she conjured Chaos Magic, which Maria had taught her some time ago.

"{Chaos Bullets}!"

Hundreds of tiny bullets made of compressed Chaotic Energy were fired around, piercing the monsters and leaving countless holes across their bodies.

The combination of Silva, Blackie, and Catarina made for an amazing team already, and Maria could rest at ease knowing that even if they departed eventually, that they would be alright on their own.

Her eyes then landed on the last team that she had recruited through her journey across the Golden Sands, Fabian and his friends, Spectra, his white-haired and ghost-like crush, Nick, the cheerful brat with purple hair and poison talent, Beery, the shy little boy with blue hair capable of summoning vines and other plants, and Garon, the brown-skinned, black haired and tallest of them all, with an affinity for fire and stone.

Their magic was certainly unique, as it was directly connected to their Miasmic Abilities, powers that people that were modified into Chimeras naturally develop, usually, this was the whole reason why the Vampires kept producing them, once stable and controllable, Chimeras created using monster parts and Evil God Fragment Secretions became incredibly strong soldiers.

Each one developing unique Miasmic Abilities that could easily surpass any Skill the System could give to them, they were not only powerful, but easy to produce and with an endless source of test subjects living everywhere across the poorest streets of the world.

Arthur himself, Maria's brother, had also become a chimera, and although his body was remade, the Miasmic Ability he originally possessed remained within him, this made Maria

realize one thing.

These powers seemed to become imprinted within the chimeras' very souls, and as they grew stronger, these Miasmic Abilities only improved even further.

And these children Maria saved and had been raising so far, proved it to her.

"They have improved..."
