Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

While the other examinees were battling amongst themselves and obtaining tokens, Nox, who had yet to stumble upon a single person, was quietly observing the intense brawl between an ape-like beast with white, glistening fur, standing over two meters tall, and a wolf with deep purple fur and a pair of glowing, menacing eyes.

BANG! BANG!

The ape was like a rampaging juggernaut, unleashing a barrage of reckless palm strikes on the massive wolf. Its eyes were a mixture of desperation and frenzy, with a hint of fatigue. The King-Tier furious ape had received a healthy dose of damage. Its white fur, now stained crimson from blood loss, was riddled with deep slash marks that exposed the tender flesh within.

The Black Ravenous Wolf wasn't faring any better. Though it tried to put on a brave face to taunt its opponent, the exhaustion was just too overwhelming to conceal in its eyes. Just as the ape continued its assault, the wolf slashed with its claws, which were over half a meter in length.

Both magical beasts had thrown defenses out the window and were outright fighting with everything they had! There was no effort to block or dodge! It was a full brawl. This was because both creatures had been fighting for over an hour now, but since the fight wasn't progressing anywhere, they had decided to go all out!

It was out of sheer will that they could even manage to stay on their feet! Their thought process was rather simple...

The last one standing would be the winner!

Because he wanted a much clearer view to witness this epic fight, Nox had made his way onto one of the surviving trees that had yet to fall! This tree was a mutant-type tree and was over hundreds of meters away from the battlefield, one of the reasons it had survived this long.

Still, with every clash, the strong shockwave, which senselessly synchronized into a single blast, rippled outward, causing the tree to waver, threatening to uproot from the very soil. Despite the tremendous force capable of hurling debris through the air, Nox plunged Oblivion Edge into the mutant tree, maintaining his balance.

If not, even he would've been flung away like a ragdoll! Two peak King-Tier beasts were no different from fighting a middle-ranked Emperor Beast!

From such a vantage point, Nox could clearly see the raging battle and the effect it had on the surrounding area, which looked like a scene straight out of a natural disaster movie.

Nox's gaze lingered on the savage battle for a while. It was usual for magical beasts to fight amongst themselves, but this fight seemed much more personal. At that moment, Nox's eyes caught something.

Because of the distance, he had to squint, and when he did, he noticed a small infant ape lying just a few meters away from the clash. Nox realized that the ape was dead and understood the reason for the fight. It seemed the wolf had killed the baby ape in an attempt to devour its flesh, and now the mother was seeking revenge.

Even though he had learned this, there was no hint of empathy in his cold black eyes. As he started to weave his arms in the air, a giant blood circle appeared mid-air above the two magical beasts.

Runic Dominion Activated!

A wide grin appeared on his face, his expression slightly distorted, and he seemed to appear more like his grandfather—though a more handsome version. Yes, you guessed it right, Nox wanted to take advantage of the fight to farm experience points!

Runic Dominion (Ultimate Skill) was the ultimate skill he had copied from Helen back in the Western Region Fight Summit! It was a skill that granted him control over endless weapon constructs that moved with precision and autonomy.

He could summon and control up to 1,000 blood weapons simultaneously for over a 100m radius. Though the MP cost was 199 MP per activation, Nox didn't shy away from activating this attack, as he had 1,020 mana points.

....

"What is he planning to do?" an instructor whispered, seeing the dreadful bloody magical circle that gave him a feeling of dread even though he was not there and could only witness the fight through the transmitting crystals placed in the dimension.

"Is he planning to attack two peak King-Tier monsters?! He's insane," another exclaimed with wide eyes.

Nox was just level 20, which was impressive for his age, but to go against two King-Tier beasts who were just a level away from entering Emperor-Tier was pure insanity!

Boris tightly frowned, deep creases on his temples. He rubbed his palms together and thought darkly: "Even back at the guild, we usually assign a party of Level 50+ Awakened to deal with an Emperor-Tier beast... this boy is getting too ahead of himself!"

Boris's chest seemed to clench, and he couldn't help but say, "Miss Bridget, could you order the Awakened nearby to get that kid out of there? It would be a shame if something terrible happened to a promising Awakened. Moreover, he's Arthur's son; we can't let anything happen to him."

"Guild master, you don't have to worry." Bridget's eyes twinkled like those of a fox as she smiled. "Let's just watch."

Has the headmistress gone mad? This was the thought of everyone present there! Where was she even having this unshakable faith from? What Nox was about to do was clearly suicidal! If his attack failed the first time, the attention of the two King-Tier beasts would snap toward him!

These beasts would find an excuse to break out of the fight to kill him before continuing again!

...

"Come on, weaken each other more!" Nox muttered to himself repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the red blinking string of texts above the two magical beasts, specifically their Health Points and Stamina Points, which were gleaming with dangerous red.

Down below, the fight was beginning to reach its zenith.

The furious ape, whose fur was now coated in a deep shade of red, suddenly roared like a raging storm as it swung its palm wildly. The force behind its attack caused the air to hum with a pressure that seemed to distort reality itself.

The Ravenous Black Wolf growled furiously in return, and its deep purple fur glowed with dark energy. At first, the glow was subtle, but it gradually skyrocketed and became extremely bright. With murderous intent, the wolf lunged forward, aiming to tear through the ape's chest.

BOOM!

Their final blow collided with earth-shattering force, and the resulting shockwaves exploded outward, shaking the entire battlefield. Dust clouds shot into the air, and one of the branches of the tree Nox was standing on snapped. The main trunk tilted to the side as well.

When the dust settled, Nox saw it—the two beasts were wasted! They were panting heavily and swaying. It was as if every atom of strength had been sucked out from them.

The two beasts glared and growled, wanting to continue but were simply too weak.

Nox, who was observing the scene with sharp eyes, smirked. "Perfect timing."

And under his command, the blood circle hummed!

Danger! The fur of both creatures stood on end! Something was terribly wrong! Then they felt a terrifying presence above them. The two creatures' heads snapped toward that direction just in time to see a blood pillar, the height and breadth of a skyscraper, descend!

BOOM!

Meanwhile, back inside the academy, all the instructors were stunned, speechless!

A heavy, almost suffocating silence seemed to blanket the room. All the instructors were present, their eyes wide in disbelief as they looked at the bodies of the Furious Ape and the Ravenous Black Wolf, which were disintegrating into specks of black and white light in mere microseconds!

"He... he really killed the beasts! What rank is that skill?!" Boris Fanum exclaimed in shock, finding it hard to stop his body from trembling. Though the beasts had already been greatly weakened due to their all-out brawl, it still came as a great shock to the guild master and everyone present!

After all, even in their weakened state, the two beasts could easily snuff the life out of a Level 20 Awakened!

"That skill... it can't be," Boris muttered in a slightly shaky voice, knowing that it was because of the skill that Nox was able to shatter the world's logic and overturn the natural order.

Sweat trickled down his temples, rolling to his cheeks. The guild master had his suspicions about what rank the skill could be, but he didn't want to accept it! No, he refused to.

Those skills were very rare; it was just too absurd for a 15-year-old to possess one! The only people that could afford such skills were the Big Four and the extremely wealthy! As far as he remembered, the Cromwells weren't that wealthy.

'Even with the income generated from the Adventure Guild, we were only able to get our hands on one of such skills,' Boris thought with a grim expression.

"Or could it be that Arthur gave him this skill?" he mumbled, and though his theory wasn't too far-fetched, ultimate skills were rare to come by. This applied to normal Awakened, but Arthur was anything but normal.

"This makes a lot more sense."

"That old bastard was really telling the truth, huh." Brawn's eyes were practically shining with greed, as if he was looking at the rarest treasure in the world. Then, a cunning smile appeared on the old assassin's face.

No one knew what he was thinking about at this moment, but from the mischievous gleam in his eyes, one could tell he was planning something... something that involved Nox.

Seeing their reaction, the corner of Bridget's lips twitched, threatening to break into a stunning smile. "I told you... just watch."

Meanwhile, back in the level four dimension, Nox made his way toward the loots. There was one particular loot that had caught his attention, after all.
