Chapter 145: The Elemental Beast Weaknesses[2]

Once again, the elemental beast loomed before everyone in all its full glory. With those menacing frosty spikes that glinted under the glare of the sun, the beast was as imposing and petrifying as it was last time. Those shimmering blue eyes swept over the humans. Its eyes settled on Nox, and a cold light flashed in them.

Behind the beast was a mountain that was partially destroyed. Though it was still standing, it would at most remain so for a few more days or weeks before collapsing completely to ruin.

The sight of the destroyed cave made the elemental beast seethe in anger. The cave had been its home for over a hundred years, holding countless memories and treasures. Its anger was palpable, and the temperature of the surroundings had dropped considerably.

"W-we really pissed it off this time," one man commented, trembling. In fact, under the security of those piercing eyes, the Awakened found it difficult to move their limbs.

They had made a foolproof plan that had a 50% possibility of working, and yet... they couldn't even move? The only ones who could still somehow move freely were the likes of Reyes, Captain Bofan, and a few powerful Awakens.

At that moment, when everyone was feeling despair, Nox's stern yet confident voice rang out for all to hear.

"Everyone, avoid the eyes of the beast; it's the reason you can't move!"

Hearing that clear voice, the Awakened, who were temporarily frozen, forcefully looked away, and as if by magic, they all became mobile again.

The elemental beast shot a hateful glare at Nox, who was slowly moving further away from the battlefront. It wanted to squash this kid so badly, but before it could charge forward, Reyes made a gesture with his hands. A low rumbling sound was heard, and an earth column with jagged edges burst from the ground, heading towards the elemental beast, ready to impale it.

However, the terrifying-looking earth column met an extremely thick ice wall.

**BANG!**

As if on cue, the others in the forefront charged forward and started to unleash their attacks on the elemental beast. Nox's plan was fully in motion.

Adina and Adam, tempest mages, fired series of destructive lightning bolts, halting it.

While Captain Bofan and the rest of the Maverick Guild engaged the beast in a fierce confrontation, Brolly and the Bladesong snuck up behind the beast and started to pummel it with attacks from all sides.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Silver Mist Guild, who was standing a few meters away from the raging obscurity of the fight, watched with intense focus. Above them, a pillar of pulsating blue and yellow flames loomed, its violent hues creating an otherworldly glow. The flames were condensed, forming a dense column that seemed to pulse with raw energy.

Maintaining the pulsing flame ate into their mana reserves, but it was worth it. Immediately, they saw an opening, the pillar of flame would struck the core of the elemental beast.

"It's working," Nox muttered under his breath, standing at a relative distance from the intense fight. One of the Awakened had been impaled by an ice projectile, and a few were injured, but compared to the first and second encounters, they were doing far better.

And Nox's idea of attacking the core of the elemental beast was very effective. He noticed that whenever an attack landed there, the elemental beast's speed stalled slightly, and it let out a painful roar from time to time.

Because of the multiple attacks from all sides, Nox noticed that the beast was finding it hard to multitask. It should have been very angry; however, its eyes were twinkling with mirth as if it were enjoying every moment. Nox was perplexed by this.

And why wasn't it using the ice dome type of skill? Was there a cooldown?

There was always something off about this beast, but Nox couldn't pinpoint it.

Fortunately, Annalize and Beast Sense worked this time around, and the information about the elemental beast cascaded down in front of Nox, covering his entire view.

[Frostfang Yeti-Glaciator -Lv9 King Tier]

Elemental Type: Ice

Progress: 95%/100%

Energy: 300%/300%

Description: Frostfang Yeti is a hulking colossus of the frozen wilderness, with thick fur laced with jagged shards of ice and a gaze that can freeze the blood of even the most battle-hardened warriors. It stands as the embodiment of winter's relentless ferocity.

Special Skills:

- Ice Hurricane (Ultimate Skill): Unleashes a devastating storm of icy wind and frozen shards that ravage everything within range. The storm grows in intensity the more foes it consumes, turning the battlefield into a frozen tundra. (Cooldown: 2 hours)

- Petrifying Gaze: The Yeti's stare freezes opponents in their tracks, encasing them in ice that grows the longer they remain under its gaze. Entire armies can be immobilized if caught within its line of sight for too long. (No cooldown)

- Avalanche Stomp(Advanced skill): A thunderous stomp sends shockwaves through the ground, causing avalanches of ice and snow to crash down, burying enemies and altering the terrain to the Yeti's advantage. (Cooldown: 2 minutes)

- Glacial Resilience (Ultimate Skill): The Yeti's body can regenerate rapidly when in cold environments, absorbing ice and frost to heal wounds and reinforce its defenses, making it nearly unkillable in freezing conditions. (No cooldown)

- Frigid Expanse(Advanced skill): The Yeti can expand its Ice Domain to a massive radius, draining heat from the air and lowering the temperature to sub-zero levels, freezing everything in its path and amplifying the effects of all its abilities. (Cooldown: 30 hours)

- Ice Manipulation(Advanced Skill): Grants the Yeti the ability to manipulate ice at will. It can shape, move, and control existing ice to form barriers, weapons, or traps. The Yeti can even condense moisture in the air to create new ice structures, giving it versatile control over its environment. (No cooldown)

Evolution Path (3/8): Frostfang Yeti → Eternal Glacier King

Requirements:

- Absorb the "Heart of the Frozen Conqueror," an ancient relic that grants control over the most extreme levels of ice and cold. (Completed)

- Endure the "Eternal Frost Trial": Survive a hundred-year-long blizzard in the Frozen Wastes, relying on ice manipulation and resilience without external heat or sustenance, while facing elemental storms and hostile creatures. (Completed)

- Enlightenment Through Trials: The Frostfang Yeti must undergo a series of rigorous trials known as the "Path of the Eternal Frost." This involves facing and overcoming hundreds of Awakened entities, each presenting unique challenges. Each trial tests the Yeti's ice powers, mental fortitude, and strategic acumen, pushing it to achieve a higher state of enlightenment.

By conquering these trials, the Yeti will transcend its current form, unlocking the profound wisdom and strength required to evolve into the Eternal Glacier King. (Incomplete)

Description: Upon evolution, the Yeti transforms into the Eternal Glacier King, a colossal ruler of the frozen realms. Its size increases dramatically, and it gains the ability to manipulate ice on a massive scale, creating glaciers and summoning deadly blizzards. Its body becomes an impenetrable fortress of ice, and its aura alone is enough to freeze enemies in their tracks.

Because Nox's main goal was to find out the weaknesses of the elemental beast so that he could exploit them, he had missed a crucial detail. Scrolling down, he arrived at the section he had been looking forward to all this time.

- Dominating frozen landscapes and forging ice-based creations

- Battle-hardened challengers who test its limits

- Cold, desolate places where only the strongest survive Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Dislikes:

- Being confined or hunted for sport

- Enemies that rely on trickery or underhanded tactics

- Excessive heat or unnatural climates

Strengths:

- Supreme battlefield control with Frigid Expanse

- Can take on hundreds of enemies at once with Ice Hurricane and Avalanche Stomp

- Near-invincibility in cold environments with Glacial Resilience

Weaknesses:

- Vulnerable when forced out of its icy domain or when in hot environments

- Slow to adapt in rapidly changing battle conditions

- Elemental attacks that bypass its ice defenses (especially fire and lightning, though in an extremely cold environment, fire would likely be useless.)

- Crystalline Structures: Attacking the crystalline structures on the Yeti, such as ice-covered horns or spiked protrusions, can disrupt its ice manipulation abilities and weaken its defenses.

"Vulnerable when forced out of its icy domain?" Nox shook his head and dismissed this weakness. The entirety of Coastal City was freezing; heck, the entire kingdom was, which left him with elemental attacks. So far, even those didn't seem to have any impact.

Therefore, everything narrowed down to the last option: the spikes on the back of the Yeti.

Those spikes that ran through the beast's neck and shoulders were the weakness all this while. In truth, attacking the core of the beast wouldn't really kill it; it would only disrupt its energy. Nox had known this from the start, but he needed to give the others something to hope for.

However, with this new discovery, taking down the elemental beast was now feasible!
