New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 2196: Second Divine Talent Fruit (Elemental Spirit Version)

In the fifteenth phase, the number of Flaming Monkeys had increased to two hundred thousand!

Moreover, they attacked Tetos simultaneously, led by 1,000 Peak Emperor Realm Elemental Beasts, unleashing an overwhelming barrage of flaming claws, piercing punches, and other powerful skills.

'BOOM!'

'BOOM!'

'BOOM!'

The enormous force of their combined attacks shook the entire battlefield.

Even with Heavenly Mountain Giant and Hundredfold Earth Armor, Tetos began struggling to maintain his stability.

As the attacks continued, the ground beneath him started cracking.

Then, a massive wave of attacks struck him simultaneously.

'CRACK!'

Tetos lost his footing and was forced to move.

The moment he moved away from his original position, he lost the benefits of Earth Master.

His Essence of Nature consumption increased, and maintaining his gigantic form became considerably more difficult.

'So, they've finally managed to break his defensive formation.'

Ajax narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time Tetos had been forced to abandon his strategy.

Nevertheless, he didn't panic.

After all, he still had several powerful skills at his disposal.

[Infernal Earthquake!]

'RUMBLE!'

The earth beneath the Flaming Monkeys suddenly shook violently.

Massive cracks spread across the battlefield as countless spikes of earth erupted from the ground.

The resulting shockwaves swept through the horde, destroying tens of thousands of Flaming Monkeys in an instant.

[The Elemental Spirit Tetos has killed 98,000 Elemental Beasts!]

[The Host has received 392,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals!]

'Not bad!'

Ajax nodded in satisfaction.

Apart from Heavenly Mountain Crusher, Tetos possessed another powerful offensive skill capable of eliminating enormous numbers of Elemental Beasts.

With Infernal Earthquake reducing the number of incoming enemies, the pressure on Tetos decreased considerably.

However, nearly one hundred thousand Flaming Monkeys remained.

They continued attacking him relentlessly.

Tetos gritted his teeth and gathered the remaining Essence of Nature in his dantian.

[Heavenly Mountain Crusher!]

'Swoosh!'

A gigantic mountain materialized above the battlefield.

It descended with tremendous force, crushing the remaining Flaming Monkeys beneath it.

'BOOM!'

The ground trembled as the final group of Elemental Beasts was eliminated.

[The Elemental Spirit Tetos has killed 102,000 Elemental Beasts!]

[The Host has received 408,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals!]

At the same time, the Ancient Voice resounded throughout the Elemental Source Land.

[Congratulations on passing the fifteenth phase! Please claim your special reward from the Elemental Spirit Altar!]

Tetos had finally completed the fifteenth phase.

However, he was visibly exhausted.

After fighting for sixteen hours against two hundred thousand powerful Elemental Beasts, even his enormous reserves of Essence of Nature had been nearly exhausted.

Ajax immediately sent him into the Divine Inner World.

'Let's see what special reward I received this time.'

Ajax hurriedly walked toward the Elemental Spirit Altar and touched it.

[The participant has received three Divine Recovery Potions, three Divine Strength Potions, and one Divine Talent Fruit (Elemental Spirit Version)!]

'Finally! Another Divine Talent Fruit!'

Ajax's eyes lit up.

Unlike the Divine Elemental Potion he had received in the tenth phase, this was exactly the kind of reward he had been hoping for.

Without hesitation, Ajax took out the Divine Talent Fruit.

'Who should consume it?'

After a moment of consideration, Ajax decided to give it to Tetos.

The reason was simple.

Tetos had excellent defensive abilities, and the upcoming phases would become increasingly dangerous.

If he could awaken another Divine Talent or upgrade his existing one, his defensive capabilities could improve considerably.

'As long as Tetos can defend the Elemental Spirit Altar, the others will have more opportunities to deal with the incoming enemies.'

Ajax also remembered another special effect of the Divine Talent Fruit.

When Protos had consumed one earlier, his condition had returned to its peak.

Although the fruit was primarily intended to awaken or upgrade a Divine Talent, it also seemed to restore the consumer's physical condition.

Considering how exhausted Tetos had become after fighting for several consecutive phases, the fruit would be useful for him in both ways.

Some might wonder why Ajax didn't simply use a Divine Recovery Potion.

However, Ajax didn't believe that the situation was desperate enough to justify using one of those potions.

Since Tetos needed to consume the Divine Talent Fruit anyway, he might as well take advantage of its additional effect.

'Tetos, you can have this.'

Ajax appeared inside the Divine Inner World and handed the fruit to Tetos.

"Thank you, Summoning Master!"

Tetos accepted the fruit excitedly.

His goal of catching up to Protos had become even stronger after witnessing the latter's upgraded Divine Talent.

Now, he finally had another opportunity to improve himself.

Without hesitation, Tetos consumed the Divine Talent Fruit.

'Kacha!'

'Gulp!'

The moment the fruit entered his mouth, a massive amount of Divine Energy flooded his body.

The energy spread throughout his body before converging toward his soul, where it transformed into a mysterious golden symbol.

At the same time, the fatigue accumulated from the previous phases began disappearing.

His exhausted body rapidly recovered, and his Essence of Nature returned to its peak condition.

Ajax watched the process with anticipation.

[The Elemental Spirit Tetos has consumed a Divine Talent Fruit!]

[Congratulations! The Elemental Spirit Tetos has awakened a new Divine Talent!]

'Oh? A new Divine Talent!'

Ajax was delighted.

'Let's see what this new Divine Talent can do.'

However, before Ajax could finish examining the new talent, another system notification appeared.

[The special effect of the Divine Talent Fruit has also been triggered!]

[The Elemental Spirit Tetos's existing Divine Talent, Primordial Earth Bastion, is being upgraded!]

'What?!'

Ajax stared at the notification in disbelief.

'System, didn't you say that only one of the two effects would be triggered? Why did both happen?'

The system remained silent for a moment before responding.

[I don't know. Maybe Tetos is simply lucky.]

'...'

Ajax was speechless.

'That's your explanation?'

Before Ajax could complain further, another line appeared.

[Perhaps the Elemental Spirit's strong desire to become as powerful as Protos triggered a special condition.]

Ajax shook his head as he looked at Tetos, who was currently surrounded by a Divine Halo while his Divine Talent was being upgraded
