The territory of the Ice Gorilla was in the extreme North of Planet Austere…
This single most powerful beast in Planet Austere had a transcendent status. There could be only one King in a mountain, no other Grade B Beast strayed anywhere close to the North, he was the sole ruler here.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
That fateful morning, this powerful beast was woken from his slumber and like usual when his sleep was disrupted, he woke up raging.
"ROAR…!!!"
His hoots sounded like the deepest of roars as he beat his chest aggressively, inducing mini-earthquakes in his surroundings as he finally fully woke up.
"…!" This beast's antics stopped when he noticed the commotion.
This was when he noticed it, the disturbance this time was not just between 2 Gorillas under him that were mad enough to fight and disturb his sleep, he discovered that what caused the disturbance this time was much bigger.
Looking, shock and confusion showed in this apex predator's face.
This Planet that already turned into his about a week ago suddenly seemed to have turned into an entirely different playground.
He could see humans and Skyrims everywhere fighting against beasts.
It was a shocking sight but this was not enough to leave this apex predator confused, what left him confused were the metal structures that roamed in the skies, this beast was flabbergasted.
"ROAR?!" He roared in a confused manner.

'Tsk, the first mission gives me only a 20% chance of a Supreme Talent, the chances are too low, I can't afford to underutilize this opportunity to benefit'.
'Afterall, it's not every day that I see pinnacle Grade B Beasts to tame'.
Clearing his throat in the Golden Cicada, Legolas turned to advise his companions. "Take this from me".
"In every situation you find yourself, in war, in peace, in love, in heartbreak, never forget to benefit yourself, very important!"
"Open the hatch".
"Yes, Army Commander!"
The next moment, Legolas jumped out of the flying warship straight towards the lair of Planet Austere's apex predator as this beast roared in challenge.
Mid-air, he made his move.

After making Predator his first Apostle Beast, Legolas' organic connection with his beast increased exponentially which reflected in the base control level.
Now, his overall control level when integrated with Predator already exceeded 100%, this was an incredible milestone for any Summoner.
BZZZ!
Power erupted from him as their connection deepened even further.
In the state of Unity with Predator, he no longer felt any barriers. Usually, despite integrating with his beasts, there was always a bridge differentiating their personalities and powers, this time it was no more.
Once they triggered Unity, Legolas and Predator really became one.
This was not the end, once the Warpsnare appeared from the beast plane, Legolas was prepared as he dragged the beast into his body.
He created one of his iconic partial forms again.
In the Darkness Demon form, Legolas felt full of power, it showed.
BOOM…!!!
Feeling the power radiating from this existence, the Ice Gorilla felt threatened as he roared in a threatening manner but Legolas was not here to play word games with him, he was here to benefit.
Bzzz!
The Ice Gorilla jerked as the strange beast suddenly disappeared into shadows. The next moment, he felt a cold chill approaching from behind.
-----
You have activated Darkness Demon Ability: Shadow Blink!
You have activated Darkness Demon Ability: Pain from the Shadow Realm!
----
BOOM…!!!
The Ice Gorilla felt like he was suddenly hit by a sledgehammer from behind.
"…!" This beast could not even roar in pain, it was a silent roar of agony.
This painful impact kickstarted the total destruction that followed.
As an apex predator, the Ice Gorilla had an army of his own but Legolas was prepared, he brought Bran and Akela for a reason. These 2 beasts came with their army of beasts as they clashed against the Gorillas aggressively.
For the first few seconds, the Ice Gorilla was dominated but once it regained it's bearing and rage, this powerful apex predator mounted a comeback.
Despite all of Legolas' crazy advantages, in the end, he was still a new Grade B Summoner, there was no way he was ending this beast anytime soon.
Mounting a fearsome resistance, this beast retaliated, yet the worst thing was he could never hit Legolas no matter how hard he tried.
The Ice Gorilla may be stronger by a crazy margin but he was slower, Legolas was not the one throwing the punches any longer, he only kited this powerful beast but the worst thing to the Gorilla was that the human looked cool doing this.
He was infuriated. "ROAR…!!!"
Legolas was toying with this powerful apex predator.
From the Golden Cicada, the crew that escorted the Army Commander here watched with flabbergasted looks on their faces. 'What power!'
'He can look so cool while fighting a Grade B apex predator!'
'Damn, I wish I was a Summoner too, their fighting style is so cool!'
A Nak warrior clenched his fist. 'The Army Commander is my role model, one day, I believe I'll be able to toy with apex predators too!'
Legolas may not have landed the most vicious of blows, in fact, he had no chances of killing the Ice Gorilla since this beast's vitality was borderline ridiculous.
Legolas had no intentions to kill it though, he already made his choice.
After toying with it for minutes, this apex predator lost hope of the battle and in shame, he ignored his dignity to escape, this was when Legolas did his thing.
Bzzz!
One burst of speed and in a second, he was already before this apex predator as he placed his hand on its head and did the thing.

You have activated active ability: Grandmaster Beast Tamer

The Ice Gorilla was no Azrael, the taming process ended instantly.
This gigantic Gorilla bowed the next moment. "Master".
Watching this scene from the Golden Cicada, all the members of the crew felt goosebumps. 'The Army Commander is so awesome!'
Legolas looked up at them as he patted the Gorilla's head. "And that, my boys, is what you call benefiting from the situation".
