Chapter 421: Tsuka’s Dominance
Soon, they continue their march to the depths of the Core Vein.
This time, reaching level 6 and having an extra buff, the pressure on the Star Alliance was greatly alleviated.
Just the expanded aegis barrier gave them enough breathing room to rest and recover while not losing time on their task.
Furthermore, without worrying about running out of merits, Nash was more leisurely when fighting tier 6 dark beasts.
Instead of instantly killing them to get back to his command post, he still had time to examine and plan the most cost-effective approach.
Killing one tier 6 dark beast after another, Nash suddenly remembered something.
“Come, Tsuka, see if you can kill this dark beast!”
Holding down a common type tier 6 dark beast, Nash called out to Tsuka with his mind.
Hearing his order, Tsuka, who was tens of thousands of kilometers away, answered with a blinding light.
Like a meteor flashing through the night, before they could even process what happened, the dark beast Nash was holding down was blasted to pieces.
“This—Awesome!”
Tsuka’s attack seemed to be a bane of dark beasts. It couldn’t even put up a defense before being torn to pieces.
Watching this scene, everyone around couldn’t help but marvel at Tsuka’s power.
“So strong! It wiped out a tier 6 dark beast with one shot!”
“So this is Tsuka’s new ability!”
“It really advanced to a level 6 beast!”
“Hahaha, I thought our trump card didn’t awaken any ability. Seems it just wasn’t using it yet.”
Although everyone saw the phenomenon earlier, coupled with their rise to the Ashura ranking, most thought Tsuka failed to awaken an innate ability.
After all, unlike most dark beasts, its size didn’t grow further after advancing to another level.
They naturally thought Tsuka had reached its potential limit.
“This attack power is as strong as those mysterious beasts of the great teams.”
“Maybe even stronger. How is it able to fire so accurately at such a distance?”
The level 6 mysterious beasts from other teams were also strong, capable of single-handedly killing tier 6 dark beasts on their own.
However, unlike Tsuka’s power, which was so accurate and fast, theirs was quite destructive.
Besides the dark beast, everyone near the target might get blown away.
Some mysterious beasts even had to get close to the target, rendering their primary purpose as a shelter useless.
While everyone was reveling in Tsuka’s new ability, Nash was looking for more dark beasts, acting as an active tracker for Tsuka.
With their connection, Tsuka could target any dark beast he pointed at with pinpoint accuracy.
Wanting to test the limit of Tsuka’s ability, instead of waiting, Nash began to proactively look for tier 6 dark beasts.
Soon, as Nash bolted ahead of the team for a few hundred thousand kilometers, he quickly found a tier 6 dark beast.
“Tsuka, try to see if you can reach it here!”
Without replying a word, Nash only saw a streak of light targeting the dark beast before it could even react.
“Tsk, this is too much. I don’t even have to do anything.”
“You can just rest back, master. Leave everything to me.” Tsuka laughed, echoing into his mind.
“I sure would leave this to you.” Nash was also happy.
He thought that while Tsuka’s ability was strong, it wasn’t reliable.
However, without even holding down the target, Tsuka could still hit it 100% of the time.
Finding a few more targets, Nash confirmed Tsuka’s accuracy.
As if locked on by a homing system, once Tsuka fired, no matter how the dark beast dodged, there was only one result: to be pulverized!
Tsuka also didn’t seem to get fatigued. Even after firing dozens of consecutive shots from Nash’s experiment, Tsuka only felt its stock of light energy was depleting.
Having the elemental conversion tower, Nash could easily spend merits to convert some light-type elemental crystals to replenish Tsuka’s energy.
“I wonder how your power would fare against guardian type dark beasts.” Nash pondered.
However, instead of looking further, Nash decided to come back to the base.
Finding a guardian-type dark beast wasn’t so easy.
Nash didn’t want to endanger himself just to test Tsuka’s ability.
Anyway, Tsuka was marching together with them. Once they encountered a tier 6 guardian dark beast, it could just fire at the enemy.
Moving on, Nash started to let go of his command post as he began condensing elemental cores.
Now that Tsuka was there to alleviate his pressure, coupled with the expanded Aegis Barrier, Nash could take his time and improve himself.
—
Soon, as they continued their march, Nash confirmed that Tsuka was capable of killing mutated type tier 6 dark beasts on its own.
Although not one shot like before, it would only take Tsuka a few more shots to drill dozens of holes.
With a firing rate of one per second, it only took Tsuka a few dozen seconds to kill a mutated dark beast.
Unfortunately, after meeting a tier 6 guardian dark beast, Tsuka’s dominance came to a stop.
While the attack still had some effect, it couldn’t cause the guardian dark beast any fatal injury.
Even after giving Tsuka a few minutes to fire crazily, besides wasting energy, the guardian dark beast stayed intact, as if nothing had happened.
“I can use my special attack, master.” Tsuka suggested.
With the Final Light combined with its essence, a mere guardian dark beast was nothing.
“No, as I said, don’t use that reckless move.”
“But—”
“No means no. I can deal with this dark beast myself.”
Standing from his post, Nash fought the guardian dark beast, killing it after merging with over 200 celestial beasts.
Using absolute power to reassure Tsuka, Nash thought of instilling in it that it didn’t need to be so reckless in the future.
Coming back to the shelter, Nash quickly turned idle.
The appearance of a guardian-type dark beast was quite rare.
Besides encountering a few in a week, most could be handled by Tsuka or the Star Alliance.
Thus, besides helping from time to time, Nash basically didn’t do anything.
Chatting with Camilla or Elizabeth in his idle moments, time quickly began to pass by.
