After the Saphirelake Military Academy issued a mission to help the Lords in the Sacred Desert alongside the other Academies and Universities, many Awakened decided to reach out and offer their helping hand.
The Merits offered by the Academies and Universities were great. Every killed Undead rewarded some merit points. That was great, even though it meant that the dangers in the Sacred Desert were much higher than most anticipated. After all, great rewards usually come alongside great risks.
Fortunately, many Descendants decided that the Sacred Desert was a golden opportunity to grow stronger. Kaleb, Zeke, and Lincoln couldn't enter the Sacred Desert easily. They were still Lords and weren't willing to give up their Lord powers to help the Lords of the Sacred Desert to survive. They also used higher quality Teleportation tokens. However, their Teleportation Tokens granted them only temporary access to another location. The three Descendants and many others weren't willing to create a Link of Loyalty with a Lord in the Sacred Desert.
Instead of becoming someone's Subordinate, the Descendants decided to use a special Golden Teleportation Token to enter the Sacred Desert for two weeks. That ought to be long enough to kill tens of thousands of Undead and grow stronger. The energy influx of every Undead was more prominent than ordinary energy influxes after all.
Kaleb, Zeke, and Lincoln desired power. They were shocked when they heard of Michael's fight against Katharina Zenovia and the unknown Divine Lifeform that had appeared out of nowhere. No matter how they looked at it, Michael had grown even stronger.
The Descendants didn't want to be left behind. Thus, they left their territory and did something they wouldn't have done under normal circumstances. They jumped into a deadly situation with eerily low survivability. As long as they survived the ordeal, their power would skyrocket. If they died… They didn't want to think about that possibility. Their focus was on growing stronger and surviving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLincoln used his Soul Technique to conjure compressed earthen spikes. Each Earthen Spike drained a fraction of his Soul Power. It was barely noticeable, but the resulting effect was great. Each Earthen Spike pierced through an Undead with ease before continuing to expand. Since the Undead knew nothing about distance and spatial awareness, the Undead Summons and Undead Awakened pushed each other.
They were in a crowded space and didn't even notice that something had burst through the ground before their bodies and cores were pierced and shattered.
Every Earthen Spike killed three Undead on average. Lincoln was not yet proficient with Earthen Projectiles, but he was slowly getting the hang of the Soul Technique. It was more difficult to produce Soul Energy than controlling the Earthen Projectiles Soul Technique.
It didn't take long before Lincoln attracted the attention of the Desert's Guardian Statues. The Anubirats and Kleshabits attacked him, and several huge arrows came flying his way. Fortunately, Lincoln reacted fast enough to erupt a large earthen wall to block the attacks. However, the Anubirats were already near him when the earthen wall crumbled. They wielded a long saber in each hand and executed a beautiful blade dance, ready to draw Lincoln's blood.
Lincoln evaded the attacks and blocked some with earth pillars and other objects that shot out of the ground to protect him from the worst attacks. In the meantime, the Kleshabits readied their arrows and pulled the bowstring back, ready to kill the nuisance before them.
However, their longbows froze and shattered before they could release the deadly arrows. Kaleb had released a Nova Bullet—a highly compressed Icy Bullet with more destructive power than most Icy Bullets—toward the Kleshabits. His control of the Nova Bullets was still lackluster because each bullet was made from the compressed power of his Frozen Nova. It used every bit of the strongest power Kaleb could control of his 7-Star Soultrait.
If he tapped into a little bit more of Frozen Nova's power before ascending to a Higher Lifeform, Kaleb would freeze his fingers and hand. That wasn't something he could afford.
It was a good thing that the Nova Bullets were strong enough to shatter the longbows before freezing a portion of the Kleshabits' bodies. The Guardian Statues were powerful and highly resilient but only stone statues. Shattering them with high destructive power wouldn't be an issue.
Kaleb cast a few more Nova Bullets before he used Glacier Bomb, a Soul Technique that altered a projectile to explode upon impact, chilling the energy all around the explosion before shattering, destroying everything in its path.
Kaleb Zenovia used the Glacier Bomb to kill the Kleshabits. He gained their energy influxes and smiled brightly, happy that his assaults worked out.
"If you keep wasting your energy, you'll be dead in half an hour. We cannot care for you, so you better take care of yourself!" Zeke Lavita cursed. It was large that Kaleb managed to kill the Guardian Statues easily, but the amount of energy radiating from the young Zenovia was simply too high.
They had to kill hundreds of thousands of enemies in the next few hours. Kaleb could not afford to waste his precious energy like that.
"I have everything under control. How about you eliminate your foes while I take care of my troubles?!" Kaleb grunted, manifesting two Saber Artifacts in his hands before he jumped straight onto the battlefield.
Kaleb conjured Icicle Bullets around him this time to utilize less energy at a time. He was too excited to try out the Nova Bullets against the Guardian Statues. It was the first time he found suitable foes to utilization this technique, after all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKaleb Zenovia had only a few foes near his territory. There were mostly weak monsters around his territory, and most didn't dare to fight against him, his Eternal Ice Phoenix, to be precise. The Eternal Ice Phoenix was at the apex of the food chain in his territory and the surroundings. Even the Lords who'd been living adjacent to his territory didn't dare to oppose the Eternal Ice Phoenix.
The moment they got to know that Kaleb's first summon was an Eternal Ice Phoenix, they abandoned their territory and ran for their lives. Therefore, Kaleb easily expanded his territory without any major battles.
The only fierce battles were against some stubborn monsters and the Tekur in his first Interdimensional Flag War. The Undead were the perfect targets for Kaleb. He wanted nothing more but to test everything he'd experimented with. Unfortunately, his life was on the line. Playing around too much would be a bit foolish.
He released a few Icicle Bullets to crush the cores of the stronger Undead that were about to pounce on him while slicing several foes apart. Using the Legacy Arts of the Zenovia family in the middle of the Sacred Desert was certainly not the best, as the technique required a low temperature to work perfectly. However, Kaleb Zenovia's body was innately incredibly cold.
After Frozen Nova fused with Kaleb, it altered his body. He could naturally exude incredibly low temperatures and survive in all cold environments easily. Therefore, the Zenovia family's Legacy Art could still be displayed in its full grandeur.
And that was certainly something Kaleb did.
But, of course, Kaleb wasn't the only one who went crazy.
Zeke was not slower than Kaleb. In fact, at this moment, Zeke fought even more efficiently than Kaleb.
