"Oh, Great."
"I found another Kaiju of mine."
"Werewolf."
Hayate's golden eyes shone in annoyance because this terrain gave Werewolf an advantage to fight better.
He wasn't affected in any shape or form as the Improved Frozen Cloud Art's activated within his Profound Veins. His body faintly released a bluish-white hue, absorbing the profound energy in this area.
"69% recovery, huh," Hayate commented while checking his condition. "Nice."
"No, let's round it up to 70% since [Mystic Art of Body Cultivation], and the recovery pill is still in effect."
A black mist filled with impurities from curing internal organs escaped Hayate's mouth, and his cultivation returned to the middle stage of Sky Profound Realm.
He closed his eyes and tried to grasp Kaiju Creation's control but received no response.
"Well, old school it is." Hayate picked a small glass bottle with a silvery shine inside it.
He also took the sword from Sword Management Terrace and waved it for a few seconds. "Good enough." He commented indifferently.
A person dropped right in front of Hayate, landing a few inches off his position.
Hayate stepped aside and glanced at the green-haired young man. This guy is part of the contestant from Xiao Sect, losing in the top 50.
"You're alone." He commented while walking away.
"W-Wait, please wait!" Xiao Wushan shouted because he couldn't be alone in this place.
Hayate ignored him and walked even faster, disappearing into the snowstorm.
Xiao Wushan looked around with a panicked expression. His thin body trembled in fear and cold because of this severe weather.
Auuu~!
A wolf howl echoed in the area.
"W-Who's there!?" Xiao Wushan returned to his feet and entered a stance.
He noticed a big shadow in the snowstorm, which approached him quickly. "Wind Claw!" He sent a wind blast to the shadow.
ROAR!
An enormous wolf who walked on two legs jumped from the shadow and smashed Xiao Wushan's attack away.
"Earth Profound Realm Beast."
"Impossible!"
"No! I don't want to DIE!"
Xiao Wushan cowered in fear, watching a menacing claw approaching his eyes.
"H-HELP ME!"
Clank!
Hayate's sword clashed with the Werewolf's claw.
"It's good to have a living bait." His golden eyes shone with an indifferent light.
He clenched his left hand tightly, destroying the glass bottle into pieces and spraying silver liquid into the air.
As Hayate kicked the Werewolf away, his sword was coated with the silver liquid and shone with a white gleam. He ran forward and waved the weapon.
Xiao Wushan saw Hayate's sword moving like piercing moonlight and stabbed the Werewolf in the heart. It caused the hideous creature to scream in agony, falling onto the ground lifelessly.
Hayate pulled his sword and commented, "That's one."
"T-Thank you." Xiao Wushan immediately said with a grateful look on his face. He wanted to bow, but Hayate's next word caused him to become pale.
"No, don't thank me yet." Hayate stared at Xia Wushan and walked away again.
"Don't move."
"Be a good bait, and I'll receive your thanks later."
"No way..." Xiao Wushan dropped dead to the ground and stared at the snowstorm.
"I-I... I'll live..." He muttered with fear in his voice.
Another Werewolf appeared and attacked Xiao Wushan, causing him to wince in dread. He tried to run away, but Hayate's words echoed once again.
He crouched on the snow and closed his eyes, trying to believe in Hayate.
"Good." Hayate's voice entered his ears.
"Keep it like that."
"They like the prey who cowered in fear, no more like they can smell your fear."
A lifeless Werewolf's corpse entered his sight as he opened his eyes again.
Xiao Wushan trembled a little. The Werewolf's blood was splattered onto his face, painting his pale complexion red.
Hayate cleaned his sword from Werewolf's blood by waving it down and added, "Keep screaming like bitch, they like it."
.
.
A few hours later, Xiao Wushan could see Hayate standing on a pile of Werewolf corpses with a silver sword in his hand.
Hayate's body released a faint silver aura, which was Everlasting Vigor and True Essence leaking from him. In this harsh cold weather, his recovery somehow recovers faster.
"The environment and profound energy in the atmosphere match my body's condition." He commented while jumping down.
Hayate has killed more than 200 hundred Werewolves and noticed the sign of their presence decreasing a lot.
"Hey, let's go." He said while burning the Werewolf corpse with Phoenix Flame.
Xiao Wushan followed Hayate to the north and saw a few people 30 minutes later. He entered a stance instantly, but Hayate only smiled because he knew these presences.
"Cang Yue, Xiao Xun'er," Hayate said while looking at his fiance and Ghost.
They approached Hayate quickly, lunging themselves onto him.
Hayate was tackled onto the snowy ground and hugged Cang Yue and Little Ghost. "Are you two okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm just glad we could find you." Cang Yue answered with a smile.
"Mhm." Little Ghost nodded her head.
After Hayate jumped into the portal, they immediately followed him and landed in the middle of nowhere. It's been two hours, and they have only met wolf-like profound beasts so far.
Auuu~!
Another howl reverberated in the area.
Xiao Wushan started to scream like bitch, which led to his eyes crying tears.
"What?" Cang Yue stared at him weirdly.
Little Ghost also gave the same gaze and whispered, "Weirdo..."
"I'm the one who gave him that task," Hayate stated while pulling his silver-coated sword. "Don't mind him."
"Really?" Cang Yue frowned slightly.
Hayate shrugged and added, "It's better than doing nothing."
"Well, we have some guests."
BOOM!
A fiery red light swallowed the snow, and Hong Guan landed near them. Her red hair flowed steadily like a burning flame.
"Oh, you guys are here?" Hong Guan melted the snow around her into steam.
"How is the situation?" Hayate changed the topic.
Hong Guan pointed at the sky and replied, "Everything, from top to bottom, was completely surrounded by snow."
"There is no way out, and I've met some people, but they are dead because of Profound Beast's attacks."
"I guess there is one lucky guy here." She stared at Xiao Wushan.
Hayate plastered a thoughtful look for a moment and closed his eyes to sense the surroundings with his other senses. His lips twitched a little because they literally were surrounded by Werewolf.
At least, it's not as bad as Chaos Devouring Ant's case in Dragon God's trials.
"Hmm, God..?" Hayate realized something.
"What if this place..."
"Have you found the center of this place, mom?" Hayate asked solemnly.
Hong Guan shook her head and replied, "I was busy fighting these monsters."
As they were talking, Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli arrived at the center of Heaven Secret Basin Realm. There are so many ice sculptures they made on the way here.
"This is the center." Chu Yueli commented while looking at the icy crystal lake.
She looked around and added, "I can't sense the Master's presence here."
Xia Qingyue glanced at the icy lake and noticed feral beast-like breathing under it. She pulled Chu Yueli away from the lake and watched a shadow burst out of the water.
BOOM!
"What's this?" Chu Yueli's eyes widened when seeing a giant Werewolf.
This Werewolf is different from others. It has a towering over ten feet with dark blue fur all over its body and sharp spikes around its neck.
A pair of shiny blue eyes quickly focused on Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli, watching them like prey.
The Werewolf's nose wiggles a little because he smelt a familiar smell from these humans. It's stirred his beast mind for some reason.
AUUU~!
A loud howl escaped the Werewolf's mouth.
"Dodge!" Xia Qingyue warned because several ice spikes were flying toward them.
They jumped in the air and floated in the sky with the Profound Floating Technique. Chu Yueli created an ice barrier and watched the Werewolf smash the lake around.
"M-MASTER!!!" The Werewolf roared to the sky. The former blue eyes became red in a matter of a second.
"It's a Tyrant Profound Beast." Chu Yueli dodged another ice spike.
"What do you think, Qingyue?"
Xia Qingyue didn't respond for a few seconds.
She sensed something inside this Tyrant Profound Beast that was different from others.
"Kaiju's core." She frowned because one of Hayate's Kaijus somehow appeared here.
If their enemy is an ordinary Profound Beast, Xia Qingyue wouldn't be this serious, but Hayate's Kaiju is simply on a different level.
The Werewolf might be only a Tyrant Profound Beast, but Xia Qingyue remembered that's this world's standard. It's safe to assume this monster is a half-step to Sovereign Profound Realm.
"SHRED!!" A beast voice echoed in the area.
A brilliant blue light burst out of the ice lake and swiftly flew into the air, destroying everything with sharp blade energy.
Chu Yueli's shield cracked, which caused her to frown. She forced her profound energy more and waited for Xia Qingyue's answer first.
Xia Qingyue looked at Chu Yueli and said, "We'll keep this beast down until big brother arrives at this place."
"As long as we maintain a distance, it shouldn't be able to pressure us."
Chu Yueli nodded and replied, "My barrier could last a few more hours."
At Hayate's side, they were massacring over 2000 Werewolves without having time to breathe.
"What's actually the source of this monster?" Hong Guan asked while burning the nearest Werewolf's corpse.
"Werewolf's king," Hayate answered naturally.
"It's a monster from myth with the power to influence human or similar creatures into his kind."
"Werewolf's King is not a powerful monster, but you cannot kill him easily."
"His body was so resistant to any attack, a normal weapon won't work, and any energy-based attack will just get bounced back."
"Is that why you used that Silver Sword?" Cang Yue asked, to which Hayate responded with a nod.
Hayate lifted his Silver Sword and continued, "However, the most annoying problem about Werewolf's king is poison inside his body."
"When you bleed him, even just a scratch, a black miasma would start to pollute the air."
"To the point, everything inside a 1 km radius became a dead zone."
'What a Great creation, Hayate!' Hayate thought with sarcasm to his past self.
