Golden Fox with System

153 Chapter 153

However, there was no time for him to sit on the ground and exercise his cultivation technique to stabilize his cultivation base. Theo had to get ready to use <Devour> on the colossal Shadow Mammoth that was almost upon him.

Despite its size, Theo could tell that its speed was as fast as the Fire Dragon. "Looks like I'm going to have to do the same thing I did with the Fire Dragon…" Theo was a little uncertain about it since his delay tactic would have the same element as his target.

"Hold on a bit, will you?" Theo couldn't help but doubt if it would work.

Thinking of another way to get through this, Theo muttered as he prepared to act, "I'll do it!"

With his Divine Eyes activated, a vast amount of True Lightning Mana appeared in both of his hands. Crackling, horrifying sounds were produced.

Raising his hands toward the Mammoth, a giant ball of Orange True Lightning Mana was forming. Turning it sharply in a spiral, Theo quickly launched it toward the Dark Mammoth, hoping to slow it down.

"BOOOOM!"

"…"

Along the loud whistle of the spinning lightning ball spiralling toward the Mammoth of Darkness. A big shockwave then shook the earth.

Despite that, he didn't destroy the Dark Mammoth. Of course, Theo had expected it, but what he didn't want to destroy it, anyway.

"Bingo!" Theo smiled as his plan worked.

But he knew now was not the best time to celebrate. Theo very quickly put another healing potion in his mouth, downing it in one gulp. He then immediately used <Devour> on the Mammoth when it came close enough.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Theo howled in pain, even though he had already pre-empted a lot of the damage by drinking that healing potion. Yet, it was simply too much essence invading his body at once. It wasn't something the healing potion could handle in time to keep him undamaged throughout the process. But still, it did mitigate a lot of it.

At least it wasn't as bad as before using the potions at all. Theo's body trembled at times while the notification screens appeared again in front of him.

This lasted almost 20 minutes, during which Theo could only endure the pain and suffering. Already with his body covered in blood, Theo didn't even care to use <Clean> on his body and fell flat on the floor, breathing heavily. But before he could be rest happily…

"But what's with that? Is it not over yet? And what exactly is this thing forming now?" Theo muttered, looking up at the sky, which was becoming more frightening than ever! What he saw at that moment was horrifying.

It was a "Being" formed from Mana of Lightning, Fire and Darkness. It was much like a Chimera that he'd only heard of in legends from his past life. It featured a massive, robust Mammoth's body wrapped in the purest Darkness, a head made of Darkness, and a Mammoth's tail made of Lightning in the shape of a snake. Also on the torso was a Fire Dragon's head, and its front paws were shaped like the Fire Dragon's were, with the Mammoth's hind legs.

It was, simply put, a very horrid monster.

If before, he had found the Fire Dragon to be scary and frightening… now, yes, he had begun to worry. He even doubted that his level 5 armour would be able to stand up to it if he was hit head-on.

"Should I give up and flee into the Workshop?" Theo muttered, "I'm not ignorant enough to think I will endure using all this Mana that is being used to form it if I use <Devour> and change it to "Essence." But still, I can exchange it for System Points… the problem would be how fast it would move. The speed of the Fire Dragon and the Mammoth and the Lightning Snake were already fast before… so how fast would the three be after merging into one being?"

"Seeing" this Chimera forming and getting bigger only made Theo's heart race faster and faster from anxiety and worry. He couldn't tell what the best choice to make was. He could clearly see that the being was clearly the "Boss" of this Heavenly Tribulation. If it wasn't, then what else would possibly come next?

*Sigh~

Sighing, Theo decided first to look through the System notifications in front of him as he tried to get some ideas and recover from what he just went through.

[Populated 6,317,957 Lineage Cells]

[Congratulations! You have reached: Level 4 Golden Fox Royal Lineage]

[New Golden Fox Lineage Technique Obtained - Golden Fox Breath]

[Golden Fox Breath Technique; Replaced Turtle Breath]

[Congratulations! You have reached: 12th Layer of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom]

"Quite a lot of improvement…" Theo smiled through a heavy sigh. He knew that if he could use <Devour> in time, he might also be able to trade in for System Points and greatly benefit from it. But that was also very risky at the same time. For he was not aware of how fast this thing would descend from the sky and reach him.

Meanwhile, the Elders and future Leaders of the minor Sects were observing the "Heavenly Tribulation." The Elder of the Snow Lake Sect took out a recording device to film this entire event.

The moment she did that, all the other Sect Elders narrowed their eyes at her, not expecting that she would have such courage and boldness in wanting to film someone's HeavenlyTribulation.

"Are you… are you crazy, Lindalva?" Jerrar asked, looking seriously at her.

"Humph! I just want to record this event to show my Sect leader, she's also close to advancing to the Spiritual Kingdom, after all, and I believe it will be a good reference for her." Lindalva says, with a slight disdainful tone.

She might be afraid of who was going through the Heavenly Tribulation, but she thought that because she was an Elder of a Great Sect, this individual needed to give her some face because of it.

"Huh?" Theo was thinking of his best plan to get through this. However, he still was listening with his Divine Sense and also his keen senses that remained after his constant evolution.

A wicked smile formed on his face. Theo muttered as he got up and used <Clean> on his body, "That's it! That's right, I can do that!"
