52 Chapter 52: Inevitable End

[Barbaric Rush has been activated.]
Eon swung his wings and dove toward the Deowolf Fire Fang, which had used its Alpha's Challenge on him. Two Flamethrowers charged at him, but he was quick enough to avoid both while diving.
The Deowolf Fire Fang that Eon was approaching prepared for the incoming attack by activating its skills, Augmented Fang and Blazing Gnaw. When Eon got close enough while lunging his fist, the Deowolf Fire Fang lunged its fangs at him. The head of the Deowolf Fire Fang rushed toward Eon, armed with ferocity and courage.
However, Eon did not respond to the call for direct combat, knowing full well that fire elemental attacks would deal double damage to his armor. So Eon spun in the air to avoid the Deowolf Fire Fang's fangs. Eon spun again as he traveled on top of the Deowolf Fire Fang's head, slamming his fist on top of its head. Then he used his momentum and strong arm to push the Deowolf Fire Fang to the ground, shattering its head in the process.
[Barbaric Rush has dealt 417.4 damage.]
[Lethal Augmentation has dealt 430 damage.]
[Icy Touch has dealt 438.77 damage.]
It was overkill...
The roar of the last Deowolf Fire Fang echoed as it charged toward Eon with its blazing mouth. The effect of Alpha's Challenge caused the scenery to darken once more.
[Icy Touch has been activated.]
[Barbaric Rush has been activated.]
Eon charged at the Deowolf Fire Fang, uppercutting it. The blazing mouth of the Deowolf Fire Fang closed, and its head was covered in ice. While flying away, it spun in the air and transformed into an ice statue.

And before the last Deowolf Fire Fang's frozen body could fall to the ground and crumble, Eon dashed toward the nearest Deowolf Pyromancer. The Fire Field finally vanished; no one could protect them now. The two Deowolf Pyromancers launched Flamethrowers at Eon.
Eon, on the other hand, easily avoided the attacks by flying up and not canceling his skill, Barbaric Rush. He became accustomed to Barbaric Rush and fully comprehended how to control his movement and positioning in order to avoid attacks while rushing toward his target. He was like a spear being guided by an invisible thread that would always hit the target—the only thing he had to do was survive the process by withstanding and dodging all the attacks that came his way while he was on his way.
The Deowolf Pyromancer used Ghostly Leap to leap away from Eon's attack. Eon, on the other hand, simply spun in the air and changed the direction of his attack without even slowing down. And before the Deowolf Pyromancer could even land, Eon had already caught up to it, lunging his fist while dodging the Flamethrower.
The Deowolf Pyromancer had no time to react because Eon's fist was already crushing its head and pushing it down with such devastating force. As the small parts of the Deowolf Pyromancer's body scattered around, the shattered sound of ice echoed.
[Barbaric Rush has dealt 320.4 damage.]
[Icy Touch has dealt 504 damage.]
[Icy Touch has been activated.]
[Barbaric Rush has been activated.]
And before the last Deowolf Pyromancer could even react, Eon dashed towards it. The Deowolf Pyromancer attempted to stop him by unleashing its most powerful skill, Flamethrower, and launching a devastating line of fire. Eon, on the other hand, easily avoided it by flying up and down again. As a last resort, the Deowolf Pyromancer used its skill, Ghostly Leap, to leap away from Eon.
However, such skill was insufficient to stop Eon... It didn't even manage to stall him. Eon was flying at 370 kilometers per hour, which was more than four times faster than the Deowolf Pyromancer's top speed. There was no way out and no way to postpone the inevitable.
Eon struck the Deowolf Pyromancer in the face with his fist. The attack was so devastating that the head of the Deowolf Pyromancer flew out and crashed into a tree, thanks to his unstoppable momentum and the natural power of his skill, Barbaric Rush. The head then shattered into pieces, leaving the frozen body standing next to Eon.
[Barbaric Rush has dealt 320.4 damage.]

[Barbaric Rush has received four skill points.]
[The damage output and range of Barbaric Rush have increased from level 16 (980% of strength stat) (16 meters) to level 20 (1200%) (20 meters).]
An entire tribe belonging to one of the most powerful packs of Deowolves was wiped out. As he looked up and sniffed, Eon was taken in by the scenery. He sensed the remaining 20 Pup Diviar Wolves hiding in the cave's depths.
Eon, on the other hand, paid no attention to them; for him, all 20 of them were not worth his time. They wouldn't even give him experience points. Eon's focus was on the other side of the forest, on the massive army that was about to arrive at his location. Several packs of vicious monsters out to avenge their families.
They were not as powerful as the Deowolves Eon had killed, but their sheer numbers would compensate for their inferior quality.
And they were more than enough for Eon. They would be extremely beneficial to his ascension to power. Eon raised his arms as he analyzed the incoming army rushing toward him with his superior sense of smell, which few monsters in Kegali could match. His hands revealed sharp claws, and his wings spread slowly. He was preparing for another battle.
A harvest...
[Ice Armor has been activated.]
[Ice Armor has 1980 HP.]
[Vanguard has been activated.]
[Vanguard has granted you 330 damage reduction.]
Eon opened his mouth and raised his head. Then he let loose a powerful roar that reverberated throughout the area. A terrifying roar that terrified all monsters nearby—birds flew, land dwellers fled as fast as they could, and the approaching army of a hundred Diviar wolves surrounding the area came to a halt.
Eon didn't have to say anything; his roar was more than enough to warn them that if they continued charging, they would face Kegali's deadliest monster.
Brave hearts would never be shaken. The entire army continued to march in the direction of Eon.
Eon, on the other hand, would not wait. As his wings lifted him into the air, he began to walk. He would not remain in this area and allow his enemies to control the battle; he would not waste time fighting weak pawns; instead, he would hunt the ones worthy of his time. This upcoming battle was nothing more than a means for him to gain power as quickly as possible.
Eon flapped his wings and flew toward the army's strongest pack. He chose to approach them instead of waiting for them to approach him.
The final battle before ascending to new heights of power.
