Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

Chapter 146: Chapter 122: The Return of the Giant Beast,

The Extreme Swordsmanship

Translator: 549690339

Deep under the pitch-black sea, the Sword Armor Flame Beast, adorned with black and red patterns, flicked its tail and swam upward with astonishing speed, causing the icy sea water to retreat wildly in its wake.

Meanwhile, the Sword Armor Flame Beast clutched the mangled body of a mutated fish in its claws, but it didn’t devour it right there. Instead, it swam guardedly, keeping an eye on its surroundings.

When the Sword Armor Flame Beast had zoomed to a water depth of 300 meters in a blink of an eye, a dark figure suddenly attacked from the left.

Pft!

In the darkness, water currents sliced through. The Sword Armor Flame Beast, with its slender tail, instantly skewered the dark figure and carried its corpse towards the sea surface.

Boom! The wild waves exploded, and a gruesome black unique beast surfaced.

Based on the direction and speed outlined by the Tiger Whale, the Sword Armor Flame Beast estimated that it was now over eight hundred kilometers away from the coast.

However, its current direction was different from where it had previously encountered the Deep Sea Giant Beast.

In contemplation, the Sword Armor Flame Beast peered into the water behind it.

On its tail hung a strange mutated creature. The creature, about eight meters in length, resembled a snake but had no scales or head, only a mouth full of sharp teeth.

The Sword Armor Flame Beast glanced at the strange beast, then began devouring the blue fluffy mutated fish. It had been two days since it had last ‘eaten’.

The Sword Armor Flame Beast certainly didn’t expect to encounter a mutated fish right after setting out today.

From the energy contained within the flesh and blood of the fish, the Sword Armor Flame Beast estimated that the mutated fish was around Level 5, in its late period of progression.

This creature had a powerful ability to burst forth all the cold energy within its body using the blue fluff on its skin, matching the lethality of an ordinary Level 6 Mutant Beast.

Very quickly, the Sword Armor Flame Beast, starved for the last two days, swallowed half of the blue Fluffy Mutated Fish. Its enormous body visibly bulged.

Then, the Sword Armor Flame Beast slightly turned its massive body and reached out its right claw, gripping the body of the Mutated Fish swung towards it by its tail. A slight exertion of force from both its claws tore the fish into two.

Caught by surprise, the Sword Armor Flame Beast noticed a crystal emitting a radiant glow embedded within the fish’s flesh on its left.

A Level 3 Life Crystal.

A smirk appeared at the corner of the Sword Armor Flame Beast’s mouth as it carefully prised out the Life Crystal. It held the crystal gently between its claws and slowly placed it into the snakeskin bag hanging around its neck.

Given its current strength level, the Sword Armor Flame Beast had to handle the crystal with care. The slightest additional pressure, and the crystal risked being crushed to pieces.

Since Jack Clark’s return to Eastern Summer three to four days ago, the Sword Armor Flame Beast has hunted and eaten many mutated fish. However, only a few had Life Crystals inside them.

Up until now, it has collected only two Level 3 Life Crystals.

However, collecting two Level 3 Crystals over three to four days was still quite a windfall, equivalent to eighty contribution points.

This unexpected gain put the Sword Armor Flame Beast in a good mood. It took a joyful bite from the fish and in less than a few minutes, had eaten the entire mutated fish.

Just as it had barely had its fill, a dark figure burst through the sea surface in the distance and charged towards the Sword Armor Flame Beast.

Just as the dark figure was about to reach it, the Sword Armor Flame Beast suddenly retaliated. Its massive right claw swept across with a terrifying force, and with a roaring sound, exploded the advancing fish’s half head along with sea water.

Boom!

The sea water exploded, shooting up to a height of more than ten meters. Simultaneously, the body of a mutated shark flung into the air and then smashed back into the sea with a thud.

Scarlet blood oozed out from the shattered skull, turning the surrounding sea water red.

After easily killing another attacking mutated fish, the Sword Armor Flame Beast caught the food that presented itself. A solemn look flashed in its eyes.

Contrary to its expectations, even after placing the Blood Crystal into the snakeskin bag of the Mutant Sea Python, it still attracted these mutated creatures to a great extent.

It seems necessary to get rid of this thing ahead of time.

With this thought, the Sword Armor Flame Beast suddenly dived deep. Once it reached a depth of about twenty meters, it swam towards the coast at an astonishing speed.

Resources for bloodline evolution held a tremendous attraction for these mutant beasts, especially since the sea water seemed to diffuse the scent. This made the Sword Armor Flame Beast too afraid to keep it.

Though it has only encountered two Level 3 Mutant Beasts attacking so far, this tactic also saves it from having to actively search for food- mutated fish were delivered right to it.

But what if it attracts a Level 7, or even a Level 8 mutated creature?

At five o’clock in the afternoon, when the bell rang, Jack Clark and Freya Louise walked out of the school together. After parting ways halfway, Jack Clark took out his mobile phone and called Glenn Clark.

“Jim, tell mom that I won’t come home for dinner tonight. A classmate has invited me to his house, I’ll be staying there overnight,” he said.

“Oh, okay, bro.” Glenn didn’t give it much thought.

When he had just returned a couple of days ago, Jack Clark had shared some of the events that happened in Koroya with them, including those about close friends like Justin Welan and Zac Lyons.

As for safety, would there be any issues with Jack Clark, who has now advanced into the third layer of the realm ‘Triplex’?

After hanging up the call, Jack Clark waved down a cab: “Mister, to the express train station, please.”

“Sure, please take a seat.”

The express bore resemblance to the high-speed trains of the previous world. However, due to the manifestation of Unique Beasts, it only connected major bustling cities. The peripheral and remote places, those with more mutated creatures bearing unique manifestation traces, did not have this connectivity due to high maintenance costs incurred by occasional destruction of infrastructure.

Mist River City was about eighty kilometers away from the nearest coastal city—a city the Sword Armor Flame Beast had originally set out from to go to sea. It would take just over half an hour to reach via the express train.

At six in the evening, Jack Clark mixed with the crowd and stepped out of the train station.

From the steps, he curiously surveyed the city named Los Angeles.

Compared to neighboring Mist River, this coastal city was somewhat less bustling and the overall buildings were shorter, likely to guard against typhoons.”Thankyou, and 1’11 have one of these, and these too…” At the roadside stall outside the train station, Jack Clark pointed at a few appetizing snacks and asked the vendor to pack them up.

While packing Jack’s snacks, the stall owner said warmly, “Young man, judging by your accent, I take it this is your first time in Los Angeles, right?”

Jack’s smile was slight, “Yes, and since it’s winter break, I decided to travel a bit.”

At a height of 1.85 meters, with a straight posture and a handsome but mature face, Jack looked just like a college student right now.

No one could imagine that he was merely a freshman in high school.

“Here you go, that’d be 18 dollars.”

“Okay.” Jack handed over the money upon receiving the bag. He then walked to the side of the road and hailed a cab.

“Driver, please take me to the Seaside.”

The wide open Seaside was windy with roaring sea waves. Standing atop the dam, Jack savoured the overwhelming view of the endless sea with a deep sense of tranquility.

Although he has ravaged the sea in his Mutated Beast form for quite some time, this was his first time enjoying the boundless ocean from a high vantage point in human form.

At the same time in Jack’s perception, the Sword Armor Flame Beast was still more than 300 kilometers away. It was expected to return only by night, which was perfect.

After all, he wouldn’t dare let the Sword Armor Flame Beast appear in broad daylight, especially when he knew that high-ranking warriors of these cities had light wave sensors.

Night, midnight.

The seaside was pitch black. Amidst the sounds of the howling raging wind, Jack took a turn around a high point in the dark before appearing at a rocky beach full of rocks.

With a few flashes, Jack landed on top of a reef rock that was several meters tall, gazing at the front.

Under the dim night, a row of dorsal fins, as sharp as long swords, broke through the sea surface, followed by a thick black scale armor that shone with a metallic luster, and dark red glows emitting from its gaps.

Boom!

The seawater exploded as the black Mutated Beast, standing at a shoulder height of four meters and a body length of over twelve meters, emerged from the sea.

The body is covered with rolling seawater, sliding along the crevices of the full-body scale armor, then evaporated by the high temperature radiating from its body, turning into a plume of white steam spreading out.

Its dragon-like head, covered with black armor, adorned with three pairs of red feather horns on both sides, radiating hot temperature and dancing flames, rendering the beast majestic and fierce.

The Sword Armor Flame Beast, with its powerful heat and towering frame, left a deep one-meter footprint on the beach with each heavy step it took. The force of its walk was enough to inspire awe.

There was no other way, the Sword Armor Flame Beast’s body density was just too astonishing.

Although not obvious in the sea, once ashore, there was almost a sound with each step it took.

The black Mutated Beast walked up to Jack. Its massive dark head raised up to a height of more than five meters, holding level with him, who was standing on the reef rock.

In an instant, Jack felt an intense sense of oppression and blistering heat hitting him head-on.

This intimidation comes from the differences in their size. A creature twelve meters long, four to five meters high, might not sound too intimidating, but when you meet it face to face, the heaviness of its presence leaves you mute.

It seems as if the Sword Armor Flame Beast could swallow Jack whole with just minimal effort.

Of course, swallowing is impossible since they are both ‘himself.’

At this time, Jack was watching it, and it was watching him too. Seeing himself from two perspectives gave him a peculiar feeling.

Standing before this formidable black beast, Jack felt a touch of sentimentality. Who would’ve thought that a few months ago, this giant beast was just a palm-size six-legged salamander?

Looking at the imposing ‘himself’, Jack actually felt he looked pretty awesome.

However, after having a brief look, Jack extended both his hands.

Simultaneously, the Sword Armor Flame Beast also slightly tilted its massive head toward him, making it easier for ‘himself’ to grab things.

Jack opened the sea python skin bag hanging from the Sword Armor Flame Beast’s neck, and reached into the sea water to feel around, and then pulled out two life crystals and the blood crystal.

Roar!

With a roar as majestic as a tiger’s, the colossal black Mutated Beast stirred a gust of fierce wind as it turned around to leave. As it departed, its tail swept across the sand, wiping away the footprints it had made.

Boom! With a splash, the Sword Armor Flame Beast quickly vanished, taking care not to be discovered by the ‘strong men’ who would rush over later.

Although prior to the Sword Armor Flame Beast setting off to sea, Jack has already scanned the surrounding area to make sure no one was around, he couldn’t let his Avatar linger at the shore too long due to the high-ranking warriors’ use of light wave sensors.

A secret is only a secret if nobody knows about it.

After the Sword Armor Flame Beast had swum a few kilometers into the sea, Jack only then retrieved part of his consciousness as he lowered his gaze to look at the life crystal in his hand, and a voice echoed in his head.

“Convert attribute points.”

“You have converted two life energy crystals, respectively giving you 36 and 38 attribute points.”

Compared to the crystal that came from the body of the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape King, these two crystals from normal Level 3 Peak Mutated Beasts contained much less life energy.

Yet, the two crystals combined provided Jack with 74. points. Coupled with the existing eight points, Jack’s attribute points added up to 82 in an instant.

Such a large number of attribute points excited Jack, but rather than reinforcing directly, he called out the attribute page, and his gaze fell under the data of the Sword Armor Flame Beast.

“You lack the current attribute points of too points to enhance/avatar’s Blazing Talent.”

sign later but never prompted.

Even the worst Blazing Talent requires one hundred points. No wonder those powerful talents all had a”+”

I’m not sure what the enhancement requirements are for my avatar’s strength, defense, and agility talents, and what about my Soul Talent?

In thoughtful contemplation, a voice echoed in Jack’s mind, “50 points will be deducted from your attributes, and Limit Enhancement will be applied to Mind’s Eye Bright Knife.”

Boom!
