Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

"Die!" Hendrix declared as he brought his hand down against the skull of the wide-eyed youth. He squeezed the skull of that youth, and an arc of blood sprayed out along with fragments of brains.

The other teammates' faces immediately went pale, and they hesitated. The leader, a swordsman, was literally trembling as he struggled to keep his composure after witnessing this bloody sight.

Though he knew his teammates weren't really dying, it was too visceral and traumatizing for the swordsman, who was only sixteen years old. After dealing with that youth, Hendrix calmly turned toward the swordsman. From the slit of his mask, those dangerous eyes were locked on the swordsman, and he immediately went paralyzed for a moment. It felt as if he were staring at death.

Hendrix was so terrifying that it was almost diabolical.

Just then, the swordsman snapped out of his daze. He summoned the last bit of his strength and charged forward, sword poised for a strike. However, he was already too late because during his hesitation, Hendrix had already made his move.

Hesitation was fatal against someone like Hendrix. That little moment was what allowed Hendrix to pivot on his heels and lunge toward the swordsman. The leader's limbs moved on autopilot as he hurriedly raised his sword to defend himself, but Hendrix smashed into him with brute force.

The swordsman staggered, momentarily disoriented. Hendrix swatted the sword with his bare hands as if it were made of paper, closing his grip around the man's throat.

"Very fragile!" Hendrix hissed as he lifted the swordsman off the ground with frightening ease. The man's face turned purple as he gasped for breath and kicked wildly. Without even sparing him a glance, Hendrix hurled him like a ragdoll onto another teammate.

A few minutes later, the bodies of the five teammates disappeared in bursts of white light.

Hendrix clenched his fists and stared into the distance. It had been over 30 minutes since he had separated from his siblings. During this time, he had encountered three teams and dismissed them with ease, solidifying the Armstrong position at the top of the list, though the others hadn't contributed much.

"Where are you?" Hendrix muttered under his breath as he clenched his jaw, Nox's face resurfacing in his mind. All this while, he had been searching for the boy with lightless eyes.

However, his search had been futile, and the only ones he found were these little fries who were way below his league.

Just then, a thunderous noise echoed in the distance. Beneath the mask, Hendrix's eyes flashed sharply as he recognized that sound.

It was lightning!

Curious, Hendrix immediately sped toward that direction.

Similarly, in another location, Jared raised his hands, halting his team in their steps.

"Did you guys hear that?" he asked, unsure of what he was hearing.

One of his teammates, a burly boy with a bandaged arm, nodded slowly. "It sounded like lightning," he replied, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.

Soon, the thunderous sound resounded once more, this time louder, startling them.

"It must be another team!" Jared exclaimed, excitement bubbling in his voice. "Let's check it out!"

After their first battle, they hadn't encountered any other teams. Naturally, learning that there was another team nearby made them excited, and they rushed in that direction.

Meanwhile, in another place, a girl crouched low behind a rock, her keen senses heightened. "I heard it too," she whispered, glancing at her team. "That was definitely lightning."

Her teammates nodded, anxiety etched on their faces. "What if it's a trap?" one of them murmured.

The leader shook her head. "No. This could be our chance. If we're lucky, it's another team already weakened. We can't miss this opportunity."

In another place, one after the other, all the remaining teams began to head toward the direction of the thunderous lightning.

Meanwhile, back in the battlefield, blue, red, and white light flashed in the air as Nyx and the third sister continued to clash. Whenever they unleashed an attack, the surrounding area trembled, and fragments of the valley began to fall. Several craters had spiderwebbed through the ground, yet both sides were relentless! Each strike of theirs was powerful enough to blow away low-level Awakened!

'T-this! How is this girl so strong!' the third born was confused. Nyx was clearly weaker than her, yet she was matching her in terms of strength, speed, and skill! She briefly glanced at her siblings and saw even they weren't having an easy time.

'T-this is not good,' she thought as the confident grin slowly vanished from her features.

Rab and Cole continued their assault on the second brother. Rab's shield smashed through layers of rock as Cole's fireballs detonated against the brother's makeshift armor.

"You're like bugs that won't stay down!" the second brother roared, slamming his fists into the ground. Spikes of jagged earth erupted, forcing Rab and Cole to dodge in opposite directions.

"Is that the best you've got?" Cole shouted, unleashing a massive fireball that incinerated the spikes in midair.

Rab grinned as he charged forward again, slamming his shield into the second brother's chest. The impact was so powerful that cracks spread across the earthen armor, and the second brother stumbled, gasping for air.

On the other side of the battlefield, Wendy continued her fight with the slippery fourth brother. He vanished and reappeared like a ghost, each time attempting a fatal strike with his dagger.

CLANG!

But Wendy was always a step ahead. Every time he appeared, her blade was already waiting, forcing him to retreat.

"Dammit!" the fourth brother grunted in pain. Each teleportation consumed a mana point; he knew he couldn't continue to teleport like this forever. He was an assassin-type Awaken, and his expertise was in sneak attacks, not one-on-one fights, an area that Wendy seemed very good at.

While his mind raced with ways to win this fight, he suddenly spotted dozens of people rushing toward their direction.

Among them... there was Hendrix.
