Chapter 1254: Infernal Radiant Sun Bear
Chapter 1254: Infernal Radiant Sun Bear
In terms of raw power, Souta could tell that she was slightly above Doranjan back then when he first just evolved.
After all, Yuko’s [Monster Force III] had evolved into [Monster Force Ultimate (Lord)].
Souta had also gained the same thing when he reached the fifth stage. Even when he became an Emperor, his [Monster Force] didn’t reach the Lord level. Still, it was a huge gain for Yuko to possess a Lord-level [Monster Force] at the fifth stage.
She had become an Infernal Radiant Sun Bear.
An extremely powerful species that could be said to rival dragons and phoenixes. They mostly lived in the deepest parts of volcanoes, and their might could generate extreme heat capable of burning anything.
The Sun Bear species preferred to live in volcanoes. Some of their strongest even resided in the sun of the Imperium, fighting the Golden Winged Roc for dominance.
"Good job." Souta’s smile grew wider.
Yuko had reached the fifth stage. She would now stand alongside Kessa and Doranjan as a powerful force. The three of them were all fifth-stage monsters.
Also, there was the Nightmare Conjurer who had submitted to him.
In total, there were four fifth-stage monsters under his command.
Souta looked at Yuko and said, "Let’s go. Once I’ve completed my preparations in the Depth of Banquet, you will have a stage to showcase your strength."
He waved his hand, and the scenery around him changed.
Swoosh!!
In the next second, Souta and Yuko were already floating above the Blood Realm, just below the moon.
"Master, what are you doing?" Yuko asked curiously.
"Watching," Souta replied with a smile. He was clearly in a good mood. "I’ve built the land before us, and I call it the Blood Realm. Various creatures in this land will fight for hierarchy. They will establish a connection with the core of the Blood Realm to enhance the growth rate of their dream power."
In the Dream Realm, the most important thing was dream power. Without it, it felt like swimming in the depths of the ocean.
Souta and Yuko continued to watch what was happening below.
The Nightmare Conjurer quickly established himself, as no one challenged him. Using his dream power, he transformed an area to suit his taste. Countless pieces of rock floated in the air as a dark mist covered the entire area. This would be his territory in the Blood Realm.
On the other side, King Tasman established a connection with the core. His power as an Eight Shackle Realm expert was terrifying. Numerous fourth-stage monsters were like ants before him. However, his dream power was close to nonexistent, so even though he established a connection, he couldn’t terraform his territory.
The Nightmare Conjurer and Tasman were currently the two undisputed beings in the Blood Realm.
The rest were still fighting for dominance. The battles would likely continue for a few more days before everything settled.
"Let’s go down," Souta said as he descended toward the land.
Yuko followed behind him.
It didn’t take long before Souta and Yuko arrived above a land filled with enormous mountains. Each mountain stood nearly three kilometers high, while the largest peaks reached up to five kilometers above the surface.
These mountains covered the entire territory like a barrier, separating it from the other regions of the Blood Realm.
This was Tasman’s chosen territory.
Souta and Yuko slowly descended toward the camp where Tasman resided. He didn’t hide his presence, so Tasman quickly noticed him.
Thud!
Souta and Yuko landed on the ground, and the group of people made way for them. They recognized Souta, so they knew he wasn’t an enemy.
"That’s the Savior."
"Who’s the monster behind him?"
"I don’t know, but just looking at that bear makes my heart race."
"Yeah, clearly a fifth-stage monster."
The people of the Everlasting Kingdom whispered among themselves as Souta and Yuko walked forward. They knew Souta, but they didn’t know anything about Yuko. It was their first time seeing her.
...
Meanwhile, in the Depths of Banquet.
Rulman Household.
Fadu was sitting on the ground with a wooden sword in his hand. His chest heaved up and down.
"Master, how can I grow faster?" Fadu asked as he looked up at Souta.
"I’m not your master, so don’t call me that," Souta waved his hand before adding, "I told you before that if you want to get stronger faster, you have to work hard for it."
"But I am working hard..." Fadu said.
Souta glanced at Fadu and sneered. "You? Working hard? That’s not enough."
"Well, you will get stronger since you have the resources of your family, but don’t expect your growth rate to be that high. You have to go out there and participate in numerous life-and-death battles. Hone your skills and techniques in real combat," Souta explained.
"I..." Fadu understood his words. He wanted to get stronger, but when it came to life-and-death situations, he couldn’t help but tremble.
He recalled the incident when Souta saved him. He had almost died at that time.
Suddenly, Souta turned his head as he heard noises outside.
Did something happen?
He glanced at Fadu and said, "Wait for me."
Without waiting for Fadu’s reply, Souta left the yard. He went outside and heard the voices of the people from the Rulman Household.
"The monsters from the Sea Fiend Cave attacked the eastern gate!"
"Yeah, I heard hundreds of patrol guards were killed!"
"The Sea Fiend Cave has taken over the eastern gate!"
"It’s only been a week since the traitors appeared in our household, and now something horrible has happened again."
The people spoke in low voices, but Souta could hear everything with his powerful senses.
He simply leaned against the gate while listening to them.
The Sea Fiend Cave they were talking about was a huge force outside the bubble region of Wave Bond City. There were hundreds of monsters living there, and there was even a fifth-stage monster ruling over them all.
The Rulman Household was strong, but it had just suffered a lot from recent events, so everyone was quite anxious. They could only hope that the City Lord could muster enough forces to repel the monsters from the Sea Fiend Cave.
Souta listened for a few minutes before shaking his head and heading back inside.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw Fadu standing to the side, waiting for him.
"Did something happen?" Fadu asked, concern evident in his eyes.
"Yep, the eastern gate has fallen into the hands of those monsters from the Sea Fiend Cave," Souta replied nonchalantly, as if it wasn’t a problem.
"The Sea Fiend Cave?!" Fadu’s eyes constricted.
"Don’t worry about it since you’re not the one handling it." Souta stopped beside Fadu and added, "Your family will probably lend support to drive those monsters out."
He was sure that the Rulman Household wasn’t going to ignore this. As one of the most influential families in the entire Tarrant Nation, they had a reputation to uphold. The whole Wave Bond City was basically their territory, even though they had never openly said it. Their authority here was even higher than the City Lord’s.
Souta had been here for a while, so he had learned a lot about the Rulman Household and the surrounding forces in the Tarrant Nation.
He glanced at Fadu, contemplating whether he should participate in the cleanup or not.
...
On the other hand, inside a spacious room, Freida and the other higher-ups of the Rulman Household were seated around a rectangular table.
"Sea Fiend Cave?"
"Who dared to occupy the eastern gate?"
"We should take care of them!"
"The City Lord will not tolerate this, so he will surely send people."
Freida rested her chin on her hand as she listened to the conversation of the higher-ups. She simply closed her eyes, and after a while, the noise around her died down.
She looked at them and saw that they were all watching her, waiting for her decision.
"Serkha, Dorun, Heming, Rek’ha, go there and cooperate with the City Lord. Eliminate those monsters," Freida said.
The four people she named nodded.
"Yes, Matriarch!"
Four elders of the Rulman Household were dispatched to handle the monsters from the Sea Fiend Cave. They would bring a few dozen elite members of the family to cooperate with the City Lord.
Freida waved her hand and dismissed everyone in the room.
After they left, she glanced in the direction of the eastern gate. She wondered what those monsters from the Sea Fiend Cave were thinking.
The overlord of the Sea Fiend Cave was a fifth-stage monster, and she was familiar with him. From her perspective, that monster wouldn’t have occupied the eastern gate unless someone had provoked him. After all, the Sea Fiend Cave was far weaker than the Rulman Household.
Suddenly, the door opened and Fadu stepped inside.
"Mother!" Fadu called out immediately upon seeing her.
"What is it?" Freida asked with a gentle smile.
"I want to join the battle," Fadu said without hesitation.
