Novel Full Chapter 642 Return To Stronghold
Turning up the gear, Max went in for another round.
Fighting with all his strength, he felt liberated.
Thud~ Thud~ Thud~
With each punch, his body vibrated at a unique frequency.
His attacks didn’t diminish after hitting the enemy but accumulated, slowly tearing it apart.
As each punch slowly cracked the shell of the dark beast, the glint in Max’s eyes grew brighter.
“Oh? Is Max trying to break through to ultimate combat mastery?” Maximus thought with interest.
Integrating all his strengths into one, Max only needed a slight chance to break through.
Unfortunately, as the dark beast began cracking under the pressure, Max was out of luck.
A few hours later, before Max could achieve his breakthrough, the predatory dark beast suddenly shattered like a mirror.
Crack~
With a splash of flesh, a dark beast comparable to a master of the river of law collapses.
“A little short…” Max muttered in disappointment.
If only it had been stronger, he might have broken through to ultimate combat mastery.
“Don’t be down. Just get it next time. We have plenty of time and enemies,” Maximus said, patting his shoulder in comfort.
“Hmmm…”
Unable to achieve his breakthrough, Max vented his frustration on the remaining dark beasts, killing them one by one.
“Although brother didn’t break through, his strength has gotten stronger!” Serene cheered.
Although Max didn’t break through to ultimate combat mastery, he learned a special skill: cumulative attack.
By combining all his strength and following a unique frequency to accumulate damage, even the thick-skinned dark beasts became as crispy as potatoes.
The hours it used to take to kill feral dark beasts now only took a few dozen minutes.
After wiping out the dark beast group, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and escaped.
Boarding the Shadow Void Ship, Max requested they look specifically for predatory or even apex dark beasts.
Feeling an imminent breakthrough, Max wanted to fight another one.
Nodding in agreement, Maximus instructed Wanderer to search specifically for stronger dark beasts.
No longer wiping out every dark beast they came across, they soon found another lone predatory dark beast.
Excited for another round, Max went in to fight without consulting anyone.
“Too impatient…” Maximus shook his head.
Sure enough, while fighting the predatory dark beast, Max was nearly defeated.
If not for his tough body that could sustain attacks until he regained his composure, Maximus might have had to intervene.
“Rest for a few months. Let your brother and sister have a turn.”
“But—”
“Max, listen to your father. There’s no use in rushing now,” Erica said with concern.
Seeing her son hurt, how could she not worry?
“Hmm…”
Seeing even his mother was worried, Max could only agree.
Soon, during another journey, Maximus found a group of predatory beasts, more than enough for his family to have each one.
“Can we handle this?” they asked in doubt.
With dozens of predatory and thousands of feral dark beasts, they felt uncertain for the first time.
A dark beast by itself was not scary. However, once they reached a certain number, even the most headstrong individuals would have to retreat.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the rest. Just focus on one predatory dark beast to train,” Maximus guaranteed.
As if it were just a small group of dark beasts, Maximus got out of the ship and mobilized his domain, freezing them all.
“Fall~”
Exploding his strength a millionfold, Maximus killed all the dark beasts, leaving a few for his family.
“This—”
“H-how strong are you, Father?!”
“Damn, do father have a limit?!”
Although they knew their father was strong, they didn’t know he was this strong.
They had fought each of these dark beasts themselves, and with such thick skin, even a master of the ocean of law would struggle.
Seeing him kill them so effortlessly, they began to doubt if they had been fighting the same enemies.
“It’s just a trick.”
Maximus had not been studying the structure and very essence of dark beasts for nothing.
By identifying their weaknesses and the most efficient attack methods, Maximus could bypass their defenses and directly kill them at a fundamental level.
As long as their strength wasn’t too great, that is.
Maximus deduced that applying the same method to a primal or even apex dark beast would be ineffective.
“A trick?”
After explaining how he killed the dark beast in an instant, their eyes widened in disbelief.
“You can fight like this?!”
Hearing their father’s explanation, their eyes lit up.
If they could do the same, they could kill and harvest dark beasts at a faster rate.
Unfortunately, as they fought with the predatory dark beasts, they were quickly suppressed.
Forget about such precision of attack—they could barely dodge the enemy’s strikes.
Without a suppressive domain to freeze them nor ultimate mastery to control their attacks with such precision, they could only rely on traditional methods.
After suffering countless injuries and beatings, they finally killed the dark beasts they had been paired with.
“Hah~ Too difficult! These dark beasts are not meant for humans!”
“Father, I don’t want to fight anymore~”
“Grandpa, let’s take a break. My arms feel broken.”
“This is making me hungry and thin… no more, please…”
Seeing the girls—Lydia, Serene, Lila, and Maxine—complaining, Maximus felt a pang of heartache.
Unfortunately, to survive the coming disaster, one had to have the ability to kill these dark beasts.
Even with his strength, he couldn’t guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
“You have to continue to fight. You can’t break through your path of law without killing a predatory dark beast unharmed,” Maximus said, hardening his heart.
Time continued to pass.
After dozens of years deep in the Dark Void Domain, killing countless dark beasts, the Shadow Void Ship suddenly issued an alarm.
“Host, the dark beasts in the outer area are about to reach the warning level. A dark beast wave is about to emerge,” Wanderer reported.
“Tsk, as expected. The stronghold couldn’t clean out enough dark beasts.”
“It’s time to go back…”
