Chapter 2192 - 2192: Defence God Tetos (1)

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, seven hours passed by, bringing the sixth phase to an end.

"Deutos, how much Essence of Nature do you have left after these seven hours?"

As soon as the phase ended, Ajax asked Deutos.

"I have twenty percent of my Essence of Nature remaining in my dantian. If I cultivate inside the Divine Inner World, I can fully recover before the next phase begins."

Indirectly, Deutos was saying that he wanted to complete the seventh phase of the Elemental Beast Rampage as well.

Ajax had no problem with that.

"Go on."

Ajax sent him into the Divine Inner World before claiming the rewards from the Elemental Spirit Altar.

As usual, he received three Divine Recovery Potions and three Divine Strength Potions.

'Maybe there will be a special reward for the tenth phase.'

In the fifth phase, apart from the potions, he had received a Divine Talent Fruit for Elemental Spirits. Therefore, he was expecting another special reward for the tenth phase.

"Let's store them."

Ajax put away the rewards, allowing the number of Divine Recovery Potions and Divine Strength Potions in his storage ring to continue increasing.

He was saving them for the right time.

"Summoning Master, I'm back!"

As usual, Protos returned after the end of the phase with his Elemental Beast Army.

Ajax evolved the newly captured high-level Emperor Realm Elemental Beasts so that Protos could tame them, while the weaker ones were killed to obtain Divine Pearls.

"Summoning Master, I'll go now."

After finishing the work, Protos left the cave again before the next phase began.

One hour later, the Ancient Voice resounded throughout the Elemental Source Land.

[Phase Seven of the Elemental Beast Rampage will last for eight hours!]

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

As expected, Deutos volunteered to handle the phase again.

However, after eight hours of continuous fighting, he had nearly exhausted his Essence of Nature.

"Summoning Master, I can still..."

"You need to rest."

Before Deutos could finish his sentence, Ajax interrupted him.

If Deutos' dantian had been left with at least 10 percent of his Essence of Nature, Ajax would have allowed him to fight in the next phase; however, his Essence of Nature had been completely depleted during the current phase.

The duration of the next phase would increase by another hour, and the number of Elemental Beasts would increase by 10,000.

There was no way he could handle the next phase on his own.

"Only seven phases have been completed, and there are still many more to come."

Ajax reminded him that there would be more phases in the coming days.

It had been less than eight days since the Fourth Round began, and there were still more than twenty days remaining.

During those days, many more phases would take place, and their difficulty would continue increasing.

Ajax wanted his Elemental Spirits to perform at their best, not exhaust themselves during the initial phases.

"Yes, Summoning Master."

With that, Ajax sent Deutos into the Divine Inner World to recover before turning toward Tetos.

"The next two phases are your responsibility. Can you handle them?"

"Of course, Summoning Master!"

Tetos, the Earth Elemental Spirit, answered confidently.

"I've been waiting for this moment for the last few days."

"Good. I'll see how much stronger you've become."

Ajax smiled as he thought to himself.

'Protos gave Tetos a high rating for his battle prowess, saying that he's as strong as Protos himself. Let's see.'

Although Ajax had already checked Tetos's status interface, Protos had been the one training with him in the Earth Terrain of the Elemental Source Land.

During their training sessions, Protos had observed Tetos's fighting style, the way he used his skills, and how he made decisions during battles.

However, Ajax had no idea how Tetos had performed during those training sessions.

So, after hearing Protos's evaluation, Ajax had become increasingly curious.

That was why he had deliberately assigned the higher phases to Tetos compared to the other two Elemental Spirits.

Soon, Ajax collected the rewards, helped Protos evolve more Elemental Beasts, and sent him away again.

Then, the next phase began.

[Phase Eight of the Elemental Beast Rampage will last for nine hours!]

In the next second, thousands of Flaming Monkeys rushed toward the cave where the Elemental Spirit Altar was positioned.

However, Tetos didn't use any of his skills immediately.

Instead, he calmly waited for the Flaming Monkeys to approach him.

'What's he planning to do?'

Ajax raised an eyebrow but didn't interrupt him.

Only when the Flaming Monkeys were a few meters away did Tetos finally make his move.

[Heavenly Earth Wall!]

'Rumble!'

The ground beneath his feet trembled before a sturdy, khaki-colored wall emerged from the earth.

The wall continued rising, lifting Tetos high into the air while blocking the Flaming Monkeys from entering the cave.

'Huh?'

Ajax was slightly surprised when he saw Tetos simply standing on top of the wall and looking down at the Flaming Monkeys.

Unlike Tritos's Absolute Water Mirror, which destroyed the Flaming Monkeys upon contact, Heavenly Earth Wall didn't directly attack them.

Its only purpose was to block their advance.

'ROAR!'

'Rrrr!'

'Grrr!'

The number of Flaming Monkeys gathered at the base of the wall continued increasing.

However, Tetos showed no intention of attacking them.

Instead, he watched them with a slight smile.

Time continued to pass.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed.

The Heavenly Earth Wall remained as sturdy as it had been at the beginning, apart from a few scratches caused by the Flaming Monkeys' claws.

Considering how thick the wall was, those scratches barely caused any damage.

By now, more than ten thousand Flaming Monkeys had gathered at its base.

Some even climbed onto one another, attempting to reach the top of the wall.

However, the wall was nearly a hundred meters tall, and the Flaming Monkeys weren't intelligent enough to cooperate and build a tower of that height.

'Hmm... Another eight hours shouldn't be a problem.'

Tetos briefly considered the situation and estimated that he could maintain the wall until the phase ended.

Eight hours later, the number of Flaming Monkeys gathered at the base of the Heavenly Earth Wall had increased to eighty thousand.

'T-This... He's passing the phase just like that?'

Ajax was shocked.
