Chapter 126: Annihilation Force

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Annihilation Force

Ronan returned to the camp as he met Hesa and Yen. They nodded at him before he returned to his cabin.

It had only been three days, but everything had changed. Everyone seemed to have grown up, and less than 900 people were still alive.

Most had been lost in battles, while others were still struggling to get points.

It was a painfully slow process for most, having to hunt more and more King Realm beasts just to have enough points to afford food and water.

The huge amount of death was to be expected, as teams didn’t fully cooperate and most were still getting to know each other. But one sure thing was that the more they knew one another and instead of fighting among themselves, the fewer deaths and injuries there would be.

There were also cases of people already going to the main camp, getting tutors, or even using the cultivation rooms.

Life for the top 100 was really different from everyone else. They had a higher chance of survival, with no worries about food and water or having their strength weakened by it.

They were the ones already saving up to buy weapons and booking tutoring sessions.

Ronan took a warm bath, feeling his head become refreshed, before collapsing onto his bed and sleeping through the night.

By morning, he glanced over his status once more, especially his abilities, weighing them and seeing where exactly he fell into.

Of course, he was stronger, but the last attack from the Mawbeast made Ronan rethink everything. No doubt, if he wanted to face a King Realm monster and be strong enough to even last more than a round with it, then he needed a trait at the Second Evolution (Lv. 21 upward), and that...

That seemed plausible. You see, the unique trait he got was one that had already crossed the Second Evolution, so all Ronan needed to do was just increase its mastery, and naturally, it would reach it.

Ronan set out today to hunt the Mawbeast. Unlike the two girls, who had to go to the camp to buy food and eat, Ronan already had food in his cabin, and he made sure to bring out some and dispose of it since he couldn’t eat it.

Of course, he was tempted multiple times to give it to the women, but their words echoed in his ears, and with no choice, he had to throw away the food that the majority of those in the camp were fighting tooth and nail for.

Outside the camp, Ronan began his journey as he started searching for the Mawbeast.

Ronan went as far as getting close to areas where there were dozens of King Realm beasts, yet there was nowhere in sight. It was like their population had dwindled.

Or maybe Ronan had hunted them to extinction, at least on this island.

"Fuck..."

Ronan sat under the shade of a tree.

It was high noon, and for at least five hours, he had searched all around. Any deeper, and he would meet Supreme Realm beasts, yet they were nowhere in sight.

It was quite shocking, but with no Mawbeasts, his traits wouldn’t improve, and he... he would be stuck unless...

[Inventory: Evolutionary Trait Upgrade Card (increases trait by five levels)]

This was still available, so without hesitation, Ronan used it.

First it was quiet then...

Boom!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Ronan’s body as the trees around him began to shake violently, their leaves being blown away by the sudden burst of power.

Ronan’s eyes widened as he felt the changes happening inside his body.

It was as if something had been unlocked.

[Ding! Evolutionary Trait Upgrade Card has been consumed.]

[Destruction Incarnate Lv.19 → Lv.24.]

[Destruction Incarnate has reached the Second Evolution.]

Ronan’s breathing became heavier as he felt the destructive power inside his body changing. It was no longer simply increasing his destructive power as the battle continued. He could feel that the trait itself had become something much more terrifying.

[Ding! Destruction Incarnate has undergone its Second Evolution.]

[Ding! The host has gained a new Ability.]

[Annihilation Force Lv.1.]

[Annihilation Force: The host can condense all accumulated destructive power into a single attack, temporarily transforming it into pure annihilating force. Anything weaker than the host’s accumulated destructive power will be destroyed upon contact. The attack can damage and even kill beings above the host’s realm. The greater the destructive power accumulated through battle, the stronger the annihilating force becomes]

Ronan stared at the notification for several seconds.

"An attack that can kill beings above my realm?.."

His eyes slowly widened.

This was exactly what he needed.

When he fought the Mawbeast King, his biggest problem wasn’t his ability to survive. His regeneration was enough to keep him alive for a while, but actually killing the beast was another matter.

Now things were different.

Ronan immediately stood up.

"Let’s see how strong it is."

He didn’t waste any more time and immediately headed deeper into the island.

Ronan searched for King Realm beasts as he moved, and it didn’t take long before he found one.

A One-Star King Realm beast was roaming through the forest, its massive body destroying trees as it moved.

Ronan didn’t hesitate as he rushed towards it.

The beast noticed him and immediately attacked, forcing Ronan to dodge while he waited for his destructive power to build up.

After fighting for several minutes, Ronan finally felt that enough power had accumulated within his body.

He stopped moving and raised his hand.

All the destructive power within his body began gathering toward his fist.

The surrounding air seemed to tremble as a dark purple glow appeared around his hand.

The King Realm beast charged toward him.

Ronan’s eyes narrowed.

"Annihilation Force."

Bang!

His fist collided with the beast.

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then the body of the King Realm beast trembled violently as cracks appeared across its chest.

Boom!

Its enormous body was sent flying backward before crashing into several trees.
