Chapter 2191 - 2191: Speed God Deutos

Meanwhile, the other participants in the Elemental Source Land were also making considerable progress.

Almost all of them had successfully passed the first five phases without using the rewards they had obtained from their Elemental Spirit Altars.

Instead, most participants were saving their Divine Recovery Potions, Divine Strength Potions, and Divine Spirit Revival Pills for the later phases.

After all, the difficulty of the Elemental Beast Rampage kept increasing, and nobody knew how powerful the upcoming Elemental Beasts would be.

"Fortunately, the rewards are generous enough to help us survive the later phases."

A young man sighed in relief while looking at the rewards displayed on his Elemental Spirit Altar.

"That's right. If the difficulty continues increasing like this, we'll need every advantage we can get."

Another participant nodded in agreement.

Unlike Ajax, who had allowed only one Elemental Spirit to fight during each phase, most participants were using all their available Elemental Spirits to defend their altars.

Some even joined forces with other participants and fought alongside their Elemental Spirits to ensure that no Elemental Beast could approach their altars.

Naturally, this placed a considerable burden on them.

However, their efforts weren't without rewards.

Whenever their Elemental Spirits killed Elemental Beasts, they received various rewards, including slight increases in cultivation, improvements in skill proficiency, and, most importantly, an increase of 0.01 percent in their Elemental Spirit Ascendance.

Although these rewards seemed small individually, they accumulated over time.

After five phases, the participants' Elemental Spirits had become considerably stronger than they had been before the Fourth Round began.

"My Elemental Spirit has finally reached ninety-nine percent Elemental Spirit Ascendance!"

"Mine has also increased by several percentage points. If this continues, I might fully awaken its Elemental Spirit Ascendance before the Fourth Round ends!"

The participants were delighted with their progress.

However, their growth still couldn't compare with Ajax's four Elemental Spirits.

After all, Deutos, Tritos, and Tetos had already perfected all five of their skills, awakened three Unique Skills, and unlocked their respective Divine Talents.

As for Protos, he had his own Divine Talent and Unique Skills, along with an enormous army of Evolved Elemental Beasts.

Naturally, Ajax's Elemental Spirits were far stronger than those of most participants at the same cultivation level.

Nevertheless, the other participants were satisfied with their progress.

They didn't know how powerful Ajax's Elemental Spirits had become, nor did they know about the extraordinary benefits he had obtained through his special training.

For them, the Fourth Round was an excellent opportunity to improve their Elemental Spirits while obtaining valuable resources.

Meanwhile, when the participants received the special reward for completing the fifth phase, many of them became excited upon seeing the Divine Talent Fruit specifically designed for Elemental Spirits.

"This is a Divine Talent Fruit for Elemental Spirits!"

"With this, my Elemental Spirit might awaken a Divine Talent!"

"Quick! Let your strongest Elemental Spirit consume it!"

Many participants immediately handed the fruit to their strongest Elemental Spirits.

After all, a Divine Talent could significantly increase an Elemental Spirit's potential.

However, the results weren't as wonderful as everyone had hoped.

Some Elemental Spirits awakened Divine Talents, while others failed to awaken one.

The results varied from one participant to another.

"Why didn't my Elemental Spirit awaken a Divine Talent?"

A participant stared at his Elemental Spirit in disbelief after the fruit failed to produce the result he had hoped for.

"Don't worry. At least your Elemental Spirit is still strong enough to protect your altar."

Another participant tried to console him.

Meanwhile, those whose Elemental Spirits had successfully awakened Divine Talents were extremely excited.

"Haha! My Elemental Spirit finally has a Divine Talent!"

"With this, my chances of passing the remaining phases have increased considerably!"

Although not everyone obtained the result they wanted, most participants were still satisfied with the opportunity.

After all, even a fifty percent chance of awakening a Divine Talent was an opportunity worth taking.

...

Time continued to pass.

Soon, the Ancient Voice resounded throughout the Elemental Source Land once again.

[Phase Six of the Elemental Beast Rampage will last for seven hours!]

[During these seven hours, as long as your Elemental Spirit Altar remains intact, you will be considered to have passed the phase!]

"Which one of you wants to go?"

Ajax looked at the two Elemental Spirits standing beside him.

Deutos, the Wind Elemental Spirit, and Tetos, the Earth Elemental Spirit, exchanged glances.

"Summoning Master, I will go."

It was Deutos who stepped forward.

Ajax nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Go ahead. Show me what you can do."

"Yes, Summoning Master!"

Deutos immediately stepped forward and looked at the incoming Flaming Monkeys.

'Seven hours... Let's see how many of them I can kill.'

[Heavenly Wind Blades!]

'Swoosh!'

The moment Deutos activated his skill, countless sharp wind blades appeared around him.

With a single thought, the wind blades shot toward the incoming Flaming Monkeys.

'Slash!'

'Slash!'

'Slash!'

The wind blades tore through the air, cutting down the Flaming Monkeys before they could even react.

Although the Flaming Monkeys were all Emperor Realm Elemental Beasts, Deutos's Divine Talent, Wind God's Blessing, greatly increased his speed, allowing him to unleash his attacks at an astonishing pace.

Moreover, his perfected skills gave him precise control over the wind blades, allowing him to attack multiple enemies simultaneously.

[The Elemental Spirit Deutos has killed 1245 Emperor Realm Elemental Beasts!]

[The Host has received 1245 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals!]

Ajax glanced at the notifications before turning his attention back to the battle.

Before the Elemental Beasts could get close to the cave, Deutos was already jumping into the horde and killing them at an incredible speed.

'His speed is impressive.'

Ajax nodded his head in satisfaction.

'At this rate, he will have killed all the Elemental Beasts before the sixth phase even ends.'

[Gale Step!]

'Swoosh!'

Deutos didn't remain in one place for long.

Using Gale Step, he moved rapidly across the battlefield, appearing in different locations while unleashing his attacks.

Whenever the Flaming Monkeys tried to surround him, he used Nine-fold Wing Slash to unleash a series of powerful wind slashes, cutting through several enemies at once.

'Boom!'

A powerful wind attack swept across the battlefield, sending the remaining Flaming Monkeys tumbling backward.

Deutos then activated Windstorm Domain, creating a massive storm that covered the area in front of him.

Within the domain, countless wind blades tore through everything in their path.

The Flaming Monkeys that entered the storm were shredded before they could approach Deutos.

'His attacks are powerful, but his greatest advantage is his speed.'

Ajax nodded in satisfaction.

With Wind God's Blessing boosting his speed tenfold, Deutos could constantly reposition himself and attack the Flaming Monkeys from different directions.

Furthermore, his Unique Skill, Wind Master, increased the attack power of his Wind-type attacks.

Combined with his fully awakened Elemental Spirit Ascendance, he could slaughter large numbers of Emperor Realm Elemental Beasts with ease.

'The first few phases were perfect for Tritos, but this phase suits Deutos even better.'

Ajax smiled as he watched the Wind Elemental Spirit continue his massacre.

The Flaming Monkeys kept charging toward him, only to be cut down before they could get close.

Meanwhile, the Elemental Spirit Altar inside the cave continued absorbing the light particles left behind by the dead Elemental Beasts.

Its progress bar gradually increased.

'Not bad. Let's see whether you can maintain this level of performance for the entire seven hours.'

Ajax folded his arms and continued observing Deutos's battle.

After all, the sixth phase was only the beginning.

There were still many more phases to come, and Ajax wanted to see how his Elemental Spirits would fight.
