New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 2193: Defence God Tetos (2)

There were only a few minutes left before the phase ended, yet Tetos had used just one skill to prevent tens of thousands of Elemental Beasts from reaching the cave.

'Protos said he had excellent battle prowess. Although I haven't seen much of his fighting ability yet, I can already tell that he's quite a good strategist.'

The objective of each phase was to protect the Elemental Spirit Altar.

Killing Elemental Beasts was merely a way to obtain rewards from the altar. It wasn't mandatory.

'Using almost no Essence of Nature to pass a phase is quite an achievement.'

The more Ajax watched Tetos, the more he liked him.

'For others, those rewards might be important, but they're not particularly important to me.'

Ajax wasn't worried about missing out on rewards.

'Moreover, if an Elemental Spirit can complete a phase without spending much Essence of Nature, that's even better.'

However, just as Ajax was thinking about how impressive Tetos's strategy was, Tetos finally made his move.

[Heavenly Mountain Crusher!]

'Swoosh!'

In the next second, a gigantic mountain appeared in the sky.

It descended at an astonishing speed before landing directly on the eighty thousand Flaming Monkeys gathered beneath the wall.

'BOOM!'

The ground trembled violently.

The enormous mountain crushed the Flaming Monkeys beneath it, leaving almost none of them alive.

[The Elemental Spirit Tetos has killed 80,000 Elemental Beasts!]

[The Host has received 320,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals!]

'What the...!'

Ajax was thoroughly shocked.

After unleashing the attack, Tetos jumped down from the wall.

The moment he landed, the Heavenly Earth Wall disappeared, revealing countless Flaming Monkeys turning into tiny light particles.

'He was waiting for them to gather in one place before killing them all at once!'

Ajax finally understood Tetos's strategy.

Instead of wasting his Essence of Nature on killing the Flaming Monkeys one by one, he had used a defensive skill to gather them in one place before eliminating them with a single powerful attack.

"That was impressive!"

Ajax couldn't help but praise him.

"Tetos, how much Essence of Nature did you use during this phase?"

"I used twenty percent."

Tetos answered honestly.

"Ten percent for Heavenly Earth Wall and another ten percent for Heavenly Mountain Crusher. However, I had already recovered the ten percent of Essence of Nature I spent on Heavenly Earth Wall earlier in the phase."

He paused briefly before continuing.

"So, I'm still left with ninety percent of my Essence of Nature."

Ajax was stunned.

While Deutos had to spend all his Essence of Nature in the seventh phase, Tetos had only spent ten percent of his Essence of Nature in the eighth phase.

Of course, it was not about battle prowess; instead, Tetos was better at defending than Deutos, who excelled at attacking.

"You really have become stronger, little one."

Hearing his praise, Tetos shook his head.

"I'm still far behind Big Brother Protos."

Then, he said something that nearly made Ajax choke.

"But, Summoning Master, I'm thinking of ways to catch up to him."

"What? You're thinking of ways to catch up to him?"

Ajax stared at Tetos in disbelief.

Protos had already upgraded his Divine Talent, allowing him to control a thousand Fire Elemental Beasts below the Divine Realm.

Moreover, his Elemental Beast Army consisted of powerful Evolved Elemental Beasts whose battle prowess exceeded that of ordinary Quasi-Divine Realm beings.

Even Ajax himself wasn't confident that he could defeat Protos's entire army easily.

Yet Tetos was thinking about catching up to him!

'If he can really catch up to Protos, I might as well retire and let them carry me all the way to the Heavenly Realm!'

Ajax shook his head, feeling that his Elemental Spirits were becoming increasingly ambitious.

"Rest now. We'll talk about this later."

He hurriedly sent Tetos into the Divine Inner World before the Earth Elemental Spirit could say anything else.

Otherwise, Ajax feared he might be shocked again.

One hour later, the next phase began.

[Phase Nine of the Elemental Beast Rampage will last for ten hours!]

As expected, Ajax sent Tetos out again.

This time, the number of Flaming Monkeys increased to ninety thousand, and their attacks became even more aggressive.

Nevertheless, Tetos used the same strategy.

[Heavenly Earth Wall!]

The massive wall rose from the ground, lifting Tetos high into the air while blocking the incoming Flaming Monkeys.

However, the Flaming Monkeys had become slightly smarter.

Instead of simply attacking the wall, they climbed onto one another and attempted to reach Tetos.

Whenever a few of them managed to get close enough, Tetos simply kicked them away.

'Boom!'

The Flaming Monkeys fell from the wall like stones, while Tetos continued standing comfortably at the top.

Ajax couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

'This fellow is enjoying himself.'

Even after ten hours, Tetos still had plenty of Essence of Nature remaining.

When the phase ended, he used Heavenly Mountain Crusher to eliminate the gathered Flaming Monkeys, earning Ajax another enormous number of Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals.

'Excellent!'

Ajax was delighted with Tetos's performance.

Not only had he protected the Elemental Spirit Altar, but he had also conserved ninety percent of his Essence of Nature, just as he had in the previous phase, while obtaining the phase rewards.

After collecting the rewards, Ajax sent Tetos into the Divine Inner World for recovery.

Then, he continued helping Protos evolve and tame more powerful Flaming Monkeys while collecting Divine Pearls from the weaker ones.

Soon, another hour passed.

[Phase Ten of the Elemental Beast Rampage will last for eleven hours!]

As usual, Ajax sent Tetos out to handle the incoming Elemental Beasts.

However, this time, the Flaming Monkeys underwent a significant change.

Wings suddenly grew on their backs!

'Oh?'

Ajax narrowed his eyes.

With their newly acquired wings, the Flaming Monkeys could fly over the Heavenly Earth Wall and attack Tetos directly.

'Looks like the Elemental Beasts can adapt to the participants' strategies.'

Ajax wasn't particularly worried.

After all, the Heavenly Earth Wall was only one of Tetos's basic skills.

He still had several other skills, and more importantly, his Divine Talent was far more versatile than most people realized.

As the winged Flaming Monkeys rushed toward him, Tetos remained calm.

'Since you want to get close to me so badly, I'll let you.'

Instead of building another wall immediately, Tetos allowed the first few winged Flaming Monkeys to approach.

'Let's see what you can do with their attacks.'

Ajax was curious about what Tetos would do next.
