Chapter 485 Beast of North
The explosion from two atomic grenades was no joke as the highest mountain peak of the ice mountain range was blown open, and it didn't just stop with that. Multiple avalanches started, and the entire place became absolute ice hell.
Many other figures wandering in this place clearly heard and saw the gigantic smoke cloud rising from afar. They all wondered if that ice mountain was a volcano.
But at this moment, SAAI's impassive voice sounded in every corner of the Hunter's Necropolis, which shocked everyone to the core.
"Congratulations, Faceless Ancient, for clearing a Trial Condition!"
This announcement was reaped four more times before everything returned to normal. However, the people who heard it became dumbfounded and left gobsmacked. It was simply unbelievable for someone to clear a trial condition in less than a month after the trial plain descended. It wasn't done before in the Epic Plains.
Furthermore, it was done by none other than the most infamous terrorist of the Epic Plains, the Faceless Ancient of all people! This news was absolutely sensational.
In the trial plains somewhere in a forest filled with deadly trees, an elf in a disheveled state wore an expression of utter disbelief as he slashed his sword on incoming tree branches coming for his life.
The tree branches were cut into slices, and brown liquid shot out and the moment it touched the ground, the ground started to melt as the liquid was acid.
"Bastard! How the hell did this happen!? That vile bitch will kill me once she gets the wind of this massive blunder. Just where in the hell did that rat bastard end up completing the trial condition so quickly? Just what in the god's name is this dimmable trial type!" He roared furiously as more and more tree branches headed for his life.

Someone in a burning golden desert, three giants were on the verge of exploding after they heard the announcement.
"How the hell did this happen? While we ended up in this burning hell, that criminal broke a shackle?! Where's the justice in this world!" A 5-meter-tall giant roared as he slashed his massive broad sword at a giant scorpion, slashing it into two halves, and the burning sand also split pretty deeply.
"Mr. Vice Chairman, I think we should head towards it now. We can't afford to waste more time searching for our comrades. At least we needed to quickly report it to the Chairman after finding an exit. I reckoned the other will also have the same thought." An elderly giant from the Flame Iron Giant Tribe sternly suggested, looking toward a particular direction.
Everyone's expression went pale as they looked in the same direction as well. There is a silhouette of a gigantic pyramid!

In a dark swamp, a graceful figure stood on top of a strange mounter corpse while her eyes behind a dark mask were bloodshot as she emitted a dark, murderous aura like a demon.
"You vile scourge! It's all because of you that I ended up in this accursed place, and now you appeared again, and once again, you stood in my way of survival! If I don't kill you here, I won't be able to live anyway.
"Since you like to show off and clear these shackles, I'll be waiting for you here to take back all the debut you owe me with great interest!"
The dark water of the swamp rose, covering the masked woman, and the next moment, the woman and the corpse vanished as if they weren't there in the first place.

"Ahh…" A painful groan escaped Jacob's mouth.
He opened his eyes and was shocked when a mouthful of bitter water entered his mouth. He found himself drowning in murky cold water. Furthermore, he went black for an unknown time, so he didn't know what happened after the explosion.
'Where am I?' Jacob was startled as he tried to stabilize his body, and his eyes widened because of the excruciating pain that attacked him the moment he tried to move just one finger.
All the bones in his body seemed to have broken, and his heart was beating faster to try to heal his body while warm blood, which was almost black, was oozing from his body.
Although he wasn't burned or blasted apart because of that explosion since he was wearing so many treasures, his ice block plan greatly reduced the damage. But he didn't escape unscratched at all because he was too close to the explosion, and there wasn't any sea body to absorb the attack like the last time.
After that explosion, the heat emitted from the nuclear reaction melted everything around him almost instantly, and if that ice hadn't been made with spirit magic, his black robe would've melted as well.
But because he caused the explosion in the middle of an ice mountain and the tower was also made with strange frosty ice, it greatly reduced the nuclear fission heat.
However, he couldn't escape from the shockwaves of the explosion, and despite all those treasures, his skeleton frame was broken. It was a miracle he was even able to regain consciousness in this state, and the protection he was wearing for his head was all gone as well.
It was also thanks to his new giant skeleton that he was still fine.
As for drowning, it was the least of his worries because he could breathe underwater after he completed the water meditation.
Since he had regained consciousness, Jacob increased his acceleration to increase the healing process and used his reaming water mana to control the surrounding water to stabilize his body.
One after another, the clothes on his body disappeared, revealing his mingled body filled with terrible fractures.
The next moment, a 1000CC metal injection appeared in front of him, and by controlling the water, he was able to inject the glowing yellow liquid into his body.
This was an advanced epic-rank healing elixir that he got from the treasury, and he filled some of it in injections just in case he encountered a situation where he was too damaged to move.
Jacob injected five such injections before he felt a warm current all over his body, and with 25X acceleration, the healing process accelerated. After a few minutes, He was finally able to move his hands.
Without delaying, Jacob took out a body that was none other than Geko's. He was saving it for grilling. But he needed that lizard's nutrition, so he started to devour it whole without leaving even bones.
In the cold water, Jacob was eating as his condition visibly improved, and he didn't stop as he took out the giant snow monsters he was saving as well and ate them. He didn't waste any pills or elixir since they can't be replenished, just like the healing elixir.
If someone had seen him, they would take him as a sea monster right now.
In less than an hour, Jacob was fully recovered, and his previous fractured body was now flawless.
He then opened his star watch to see if that monster was dead, and then he saw it with shimmering eyes.
"Congratulations on killing the Beast of North: Fiend Yeti!
"Your glorious deeds have been spread far and wide!"
'Spread far and wide? What does this mean?' Jacob frowned but didn't pay it any more heed since no one was there to answer him. What matters is that he was able to kill the Beast of North, which means all that risk was worth it.
Jacob was finally able to turn his focus on silent surroundings, and it was at this moment that he noticed a faint blue glow in the depth of icy water!
