Chapter 932 Pay To Win

After Atreus unexpectedly grabbed the Tengu halberd warrior's body and encased him like a frozen princess.

The chill of the ice permeated Vikaat's entire being, rendering him powerless and unable to resist. Every limb, except for his head and torso, succumbed to the freezing embrace of the permafrost, turning his limbs into lifeless, frozen appendages.

The scene before the onlookers was one of surreal stillness, as Vikaat stood frozen in time, captured within the icy grip of Atreus' power. The air itself seemed to hold its breath, as if acknowledging the momentous turning point in the battle.

[What the hell is happening? Why isn't Vikaat using his world energy to escape?] asked Borat to Speki via a telpathic communication.

The Fire Summoner class mage then paid attention to the surrounding atmosphere around Atreus and Vikaat.

Gasp!

The red peacock-kin gasped in shock and quickly relayed to his fellow companions…

[I don't know how he did it or which artifact he used without us noticing…

But that Atreus has somehow blocked the flow of world energy in Vikaat's body.

Vikaat is no longer capable to even use his own world energy reserves.] said Speki.

[What nonsense is that?! How can someone block a saint's world energy unless they're using a domain or a legendary artifact to seal it?

And this guy isn't even a mage either.] questioned Xavolees, the white bearkin.

[All of you, stop! Don't move. Vikaat's body is in danger!] shouted Speki in bewilderment.

Other members of the group suddenly halted their movements. Because they were experienced enough to know that if they tried to attack Atreus now, they might as well hurt their comrade instead.

Crack!

The silence was shattered as cracks began to spiderweb across the surface of the ice, a testament to the immense strain placed upon it. With a resounding shatter, the frozen shell that entrapped Vikaat burst apart, scattering shards of ice in all directions.

However, the momentary peace didn't even like 3 seconds and…

BANG!!

With a swift and powerful punch, Atreus delivered a direct blow to Vikaat's head, sending the Tengu warrior crashing to the ground.

RUMBLE!!

The impact reverberated through the battlefield, the force of the strike rendering Vikaat immobile.

As the dust settled, revealing the aftermath of the devastating blow, a somber scene unfolded. Vikaat's once formidable body lay shattered, his limbs crumbling like fragile glass.

Only his head and torso remained intact, a stark contrast to the broken fragments scattered around him.

The sight of Vikaat's body with only the head and torso sent a chilling silence through the onlookers. The battle hadn't even reached its climax but the toll of the conflict was now painfully evident.

The raw power displayed by Atreus had shattered the once indomitable warrior, leaving him… broken.

----------------

After taking out Vikaat using his premade runes that carried the might of a legendary rank formation to seal a saint's world energy just through physical touch… Kahn turned his attention to his next target, Xavolees, a 5th stage saint with a formidable snow domain.

"Everyone, attack him together!" shouted Borat and directed the forces of his domain and attacked Atreus without giving him another opportunity.

They had done the mistake of not taking Atreus seriously and using their all might from the start.

And their ignorance caused the fall of 3 of their comrades so far, each suffering a fate worse than the other.

Soon, hundreds of wood elemental constructs such as weapons, projectiles and even puppet-like creatures, acting as soldiers attacked from below while dozens of gigantic ice elemental battleaxes and hundreds phoenix-like birds made of scalding heat attacked the blue wolfkin.

BOOM!!

Another massive explosion erupted, sending shockwaves in the sky above and ground below.

The rubble from the ancient ruins turned into smithereens after such massive and destructive explosion.

However, when the explosion cleared… Atreus was nowhere to be seen.

"Did we get him?" spoke Borat with a confused expression.

Despite being a 6th stage saint himself, for some reason, he could not sense Atreus at all.

And right then…

SWOOSH!

Like a sudden flash of sunlight, Atreus appeared 3 kilometers away, but his new location instantly put everyone on alert.

Because right now, he appeared behind Xavolees.

Thump!

Thump!

Like a pulsating heart, the Beowulf gauntlets reverberated and condensed huge amounts of world energy in them.

And in just a microsecond, Xavolees's entire body shuddered in fear.

Atreus' fist suddenly looked like a massive mountain to the bearkin, his 4 meter tall figure appearing to be insignificant in front of his terrifying killing intent.

"Ah, fuck…" said Xavolees and quickly used his epic rank battleaxe to block the attack.

However, much to Xavolees' dismay, his domain and weapon proved utterly ineffective against Atreus/Kahn.

The battlefield became a stark contrast, with Xavolees' battleaxe shivering from the cascading fist attack by Atreus.

[This! This is too strong!... Argh!]

The frustration etched upon Xavolees' face was evident, his confidence waning as he realized the immense challenge before him.

SHATTER!!

With a surge of raw power, Atreus shattered Xavolees' epic rank battleaxe with a single forceful punch, using the full strength of Beowolf, Atreus completely turned the tide of this battle in just 1 second.

The resounding impact echoed through the battlefield, leaving a trail of shock and disbelief in its wake because just now… Xavolees' battleaxe instantly shattered like glass from Atreus' punch.

As Xavolees witnessed his weapon crumble before his eyes, a mix of anger and frustration clouded his expression. His pride wounded, he seethed at the taunting words that escaped Kahn's lips.

"A 6th stage saint and still unable to afford a legendary rank weapon... Your poverty disgusts me." said the blue fenrirborne.

Kahn's voice dripped with contempt as he addressed Xavolees, emphasizing the perceived inadequacy of his opponent's equipment.

RUMBLE!!

Suddenly, a massive 200 meters wide Azure Dragon Fist descended from the sky.

[That previous attack was just a feint…] thought Xavolees, frozen on the spot because he knew he couldn't dodge this attack at this critical moment.

"Go spend money and buy an OP weapon to kill the main story's final boss... That is me." spoke Kahn as his grim voice resounded and before Xavolees could even recover from the shock…

BOOM!!

A monumental clash turned the heaven and earth blind for a second… more than enough to signify that this was a one-shot move.

Finally, the bearkin's heavily injured body dropped on the debris of the ancient ruins, creating a massive 300 meters wide gaping hole.

And right before Xavolees started losing his consciousness, he heard Atreus' disappointed voice…

"I hate fighting poor people."
