Chapter 267 Atlas's New Form

Orion continued to push back against Marcus and his Shadow Leopard, determined to come out on top. His muscles ached with the effort, but he refused to give up.

Suddenly, he felt something shift within him, a sudden surge of energy coursing through his body. He felt his strength increase, his movements becoming quicker and more fluid.

Confused, he tried to focus on the battle, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something had changed. And then, he heard it - the system voice ringing in his mind.

[Host. Your beast, Atlas had completely absorbed the beast core and he has advanced into Forth-Stage Lord Realm Beast.]

Orion's heart leaped with joy at the news. Finally, after all the hard work and effort he had put into training Atlas, the beast had achieved a major breakthrough. Orion's face lit up with a broad smile, his confidence surging as he realized the implications of this advancement.

"Finally, he has finished absorbing that beast core," he said to himself, "And he has finished at the right moment."

With renewed vigor and strength, Orion continued to fight against Marcus and his Shadow Leopard, but now he felt a new sense of power and control. He could feel the energy flowing through him, connecting him with Atlas in a way he had never experienced before.

As Orion began to laugh, Marcus couldn't help but feel a sense of anger and confusion. He couldn't understand what was so funny, especially in the midst of such a fierce battle.

"What is so funny?" Marcus spat out, his eyes blazing with fury.

Orion slowly turned his head to face Marcus, his laughter subsiding but his grin remaining. "You will die today," he said, his voice filled with confidence and determination.

Marcus couldn't help but feel a sense of fear creeping up within him. He didn't know what happened to Orion but he felt something wrong.

But he refused to back down, raising his sword in front of him as he prepared to continue the battle.

Orion, on the other hand, was already summoning his newly advanced beast, a creature that now held even more power and strength than before.

As the beast emerged from its summoning circle, Orion could feel the energy pulsing around him, charging him up for the final showdown.

The Shadow Leopard growled and hissed at the sight of Atlas, sensing the immense power that emanated from the new advanced beast.

And then, something unexpected happened. As Atlas emerged from the circle, his form began to shift and change, taking on a new appearance that left both Orion and Marcus stunned.

Gone was the hulking figure of the Iron Hide Rhinoceros that Atlas had once been. In its place stood a sleek, majestic creature, its body made entirely of shimmering crystal.

It was a Crystal Rhinoceros, but unlike any that either of them had ever seen before. The beast was breathtaking, with each facet of its crystalline form reflecting and refracting the light in a dazzling display.

Orion couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and awe at the sight of his newly advanced beast. "He's become a Crystal Rhinoceros," he murmured, his voice filled with wonder.

Marcus, on the other hand, was too shocked to even speak. He had never seen anything like this before, and the sheer power that emanated from Atlas left him feeling weak and vulnerable.

The Shadow Leopard let out a roar, springing forward to attack, but Atlas was already moving, his new form agile and swift. With a single charge, he rammed into the Shadow Leopard, sending it flying across the battlefield.

Orion watched with satisfaction as Marcus struggled to get back up, his sword shaking in his hand. He knew that this battle was now all but won. Orion also looked at the status from his new beast.

Orion's heart swelled with pride as he read through Atlas's new skills and abilities. He had always known that Atlas had the potential to become a powerful beast, but he had never imagined that he would achieve such a remarkable transformation.

The Crystal Rhinoceros before him was a true masterpiece of nature, its shimmering crystal body reflecting the light in a dazzling array of colors. The beast was a sight to behold, its horn glinting in the sunlight as it prepared for its next attack.

Orion could feel the energy coursing through his veins, a sense of power and control that he had never experienced before. He knew that he and Atlas were now unstoppable, that nothing could stand in their way.

But as he looked over at Marcus, he saw a look of fear and desperation on the man's face. The Shadow Leopard was no match for the Crystal Rhinoceros, and they both knew it.

Orion could sense the Shadow Leopard's fear as well, its growls becoming more and more desperate as it backed away from the Crystal Rhinoceros.

But Orion had no mercy for his enemy. He had trained for months to reach this moment, to achieve this level of power and control. And he was not about to let anyone stand in his way.
