Chapter 962 - Five Stage Illusion Formation
'What the hell?'
Ajax was shocked to see 1000 huge suns in the sky which released terrifying heat waves as though they were in competition with one another.
As for the huge moon he created in the sky, it was melted by those 1000 suns and before the remains could reach the ground, they were completely melted without a trace.
'And where did these spirit beasts come from?'
Currently, Ajax was completely covered in sweat as he looked at the thousands of spirit beasts of various sizes rushing towards him.
'Disappear.'
Since it was all an illusion, Ajax tried his best to make the suns and the rushing spirit beasts disappear; however, there was no reaction from them.
'Damn it...what is happening here?'
Ajax cursed in his heart as he didn't understand what was happening.
'Full heat resistant pills.'
'Fire god protection talismans.'
Controlling his emotions, Ajax created a bunch of bright red-coloured pills out of thin air before tossing them into his mouth and at the same time, he attached the red-coloured talismans on his face.
Heat resistant pills are just rank 4 pills; however, Ajax increased the power of the pills by using the theoretical knowledge of the rank 5 alchemy which he gained from the summoner's book.
As for the Fire god protection talisman, it was inspired by one of the skills of Raweth which Ajax watched in the Five elemental world.
Both types of items help Ajax protect from the heat waves released by the 1000 suns.
'Since the problem regarding the 1000 suns is solved, it is time for the spirit beasts.'
After using the two types of items, Ajax felt a little comfortable as he looked at the incoming spirit beasts before shouting, 'Halo, Prohis, Blood, Necros...everyone, appear now.'
Since he couldn't make them disappear with a thought, he had to create something that would destroy them.
Even though it looked like he summoned his elemental spirit, in reality, all the 20 plus elemental spirits were created with his thoughts taking his own elemental spirits as reference.
'Penta, Snow, Raweth….'
Ajax didn't stop there but created his contracted spirit beasts and soon, Ajax was completely surrounded by his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.
'This is the first time I have summoned all my summons at once.'
Ajax felt a little excited looking at all his summons which he had summoned for the first time.
'Only if I can summon my real summons, then it will be great.'
However, Ajax shook his head as he shouted, 'everyone, swallow the pills and attach the talismans to your bodies.'
Ajax gave commands to the summons in front of him.
'Swoosh'
Just as he gave the command, pills and talismans appeared in front of the summons.
"Now, go."
Ajax was confident in the summons he created because all the summons he created has the traits of his summons along with the peak elite general realm cultivation. So, he was not worried about them and focused on the pool.
'Let's go.'
After that, he flew on the flying sword.
'According to the old man, I just have to drink water from the pool. So, I will just focus on it.'
The flying sword was so fast and if not for his current situation, he would have enjoyed that ride; however, he was not in the mood.
'Huh?'
Just when he was only a few hundred meters away from the pool, Ajax felt like he lost something important in his life.
'Why am I crying?'
Soon, tears started coming from his eyes as he lost balance from the flying sword and fell onto a boulder.
'Aargh'
Blood trails started coming out of his head as his face was completely covered in blood.
'I feel like I lost something important but what is it? Why can't I stop crying?'
For some unknowns, his tears didn't stop coming from his eyes.
'Stage 1, Loss.'
The old man who was watching everything from the sky muttered to himself.
'From loss, you will start feeling agonized and grieve about something that you didn't even know'
Looking at Ajax, the old man continued to mutter in his head.
'Aargh'
Just like the old man said, Ajax started feeling agony and grieving about something that he himself didn't know.
Soon, he started groaning in pain as he clutched his head.
'This...is...not...real...I...didn't...lose...anything.'
Ajax tried to control his emotions as he stood up from the ground while clutching his head.
'Not bad, he can still stand. Looks like he is adapting to the loss, agony and grief much sooner than I thought. Maybe he must have something like that in his past.'
The old man was satisfied with Ajax's determination and continued thinking, 'It's time to take it to the next stage, Fear.'
'Puchi'
'Kacha'
'Swoosh'
As soon as the old man said those words, all the creatures that Ajax created were instantly killed by the creatures created by the old man's formation.
'Aargh...what is happening to me?'
Even though Ajax's focus was completely on his head, he glanced at the fight between his spirit beasts and the old man's spirit beasts and the pain he felt in his head grew even more.
'Everyone, come back again.'
Gritting his teeth, Ajax tried to create all the creatures he created earlier; however, he was unable to create them.
'What?'
'Azure wind dragon.'
'Elegant walker'
'Master Ren.'
Ajax tried to create many things; however, he was unable to create a single being.
Maybe it was due to the pain in his head and heart, it was unable to focus on creating the beings.
Soon, some unknown fear started appearing in him that made him shiver for some unknown.
'Kacha'
Within no time, he was surrounded by the spirit beasts created by the old man which were tearing his meat piece by piece.
'I give up this trial.'
