As Evan's Danger Sense blared alarms in his head, the ultra-low temperature swept over all their defences, and Evan poured out dozens of large monster corpses from his inventory, intending to use them to weaken the force of the incoming attack.
Monsters he had killed over the continent in the past year, and in the Tower of Trials.
Raptor Panthers, Cyclops, Predator Elephants, Blight Anacondas, Ghost Beasts, Vicious Slayer Monkeys, Dark Slayer Bulls, Razor Scorpions, Hydras, Ivory Rot Deer, Crazed Dire Hyenas, Chimeras, Greater Cave Boars, Raging Dread Pigs, Cockatrices, Minotaurs, Wyverns.
All of which were at least inferior stage grandmaster level monsters with levels as high as 350!
The sheer amount of monster corpses had the Pegasus High-rank spirit's jaw drop in shock, even the other Legendary Level existences who lived in the Underground Cove's lake (Hydran's Subordinates) were all astounded by the number of corpses that suddenly appeared.
Silverwing's charge tore through three-fourths of the defences put up, before beginning to lose power against the last one-fourth, but it was then that the real deadly attack was released.
The black domain of silence charged by that multi-coloured energy spread out over all the monster corpses in between Silverwing and Evan and Eliza, but strangely, they did not freeze over, but instead, maintained their original appearances.
It was as though nothing had happened.
But in the eyes of these Legendary level existences watching, that was far from the case.
They were so flabbergasted that some of them momentarily lost control over their law powers that were keeping the entire Frozen Cavern from collapsing and preventing the shockwaves from reaching the ground above and sending magnitude 9 earthquakes all the way over to Shelde, Lastham and cities beyond them.
The black domain's area of effect stopped spreading out and then disappeared, allowing light to return.
First, an eerie silence enveloped the area as everyone held their breaths.
And then, the hundred plus monster corpses that Evan brought out from his inventory, all disintegrated silently.
One could not even say that the ashes flew away in the wind because there was no dust or ashes at all!
They disappeared just like that…
Along with half of Evan's left fingers that had not completely let go of the last monster corpse he threw out.
The artifact rings on his fingers, disappeared too.
It was not only the monster corpses and Evan's fingers, but the exact same scene had happened to all the icy floor, and the air so on underneath.
A real 'empty cavity' directly appeared on the spot.
It was as if everything caught within the domain's territory had undergone some sort of sub-atomic or quantum collapse!
The end result of a temperature that was infinitely close to absolute zero! And a power, that should normally not be wielded by existences below the level of transcendence!
Hence the reason for the shock in the eyes of the Legendries watching as they could tell, that the majority of that black domain, was generated by Silverwing itself and not the skill!
'We were living so close to such an absurd existence all this while?!'
Such was the question they all asked themselves.
Of course, such a trump card was not one that could be used for free. All of Silverwing's energies had been drained.
Its energy cores had dried up completely.
The monster bird's body had also become extremely weak!
Evan ignored the pain he felt from missing the fingers on his left hand, summoning the unforged into his right and speaking to his contracted spirits.
"Hold Liz."
The three spirits appeared and caught the body of the falling battle priestess, and Evan took a deep breath to fight against the gnawing feeling in his heart, screaming at him to stay with Eliza.
A part of his mind was crazily insisting that he be with her, that he never let go of her in that state but he bit his lip and calmed his head.
'I think I know why now….'
With both Limit break and Blessing of Destruction's first activation still active, Evan kicked off the ground and blitzed forward after that abstruse thought.
He moved as a streak of reddish gold light towards the massive frame of the Monster bird Silverwing.
Although it had lost the dark aura covering its body, it had not lost the grandeur it possessed, nor had it lost its will to fight.
"Destruction Vortex."
Evan calmly called out and unleashed a roaring mass of spiral-shaped aura that was three times as powerful as the last one.
The whirling aura carved through the ground and reached Silverwing faster than it could react in its weakened state, colliding with its body and sending it flying.
Evan blinked into the air and appeared right beside Silverwing's head, his mystic eyes fully active as he activated paladin and three more strengthening artifacts he pulled out of his inventory.
He then stretched out his hands and grabbed Silverwing's beak under his armpit, locking it with enough force that the beak began cracking.
The essence of destruction radiating from his body constantly dealt soul damage to Silverwing as he and the bird crashed down onto the ground.
His mystic eyes, tinged with the essence of destruction's red, glared right into the eyes of the bird that tried to wrestle itself free from his hold.
It tried flying into the air but Evan used Weapon control to control the Unforged and made the destruction essence-laden weapon slash down on one of its wings, cleanly slicing it in half.
*…..!!!!!"
The bird tried to scream but Evan held it tight, preventing its beak from even opening wide enough to let out a single peep.
00:00:00
Time difference activated and Evan's perception of time slowed down greatly, its organized calculation ability allowed him to estimate several possibilities at once.
He pulled up his list of mimicked skills and scanned through them instantly, analysing what skills had similar effects or were redundant.
'Hyper cognition. I already have time difference and time difference has a hyper cognition sub ability, which is what I'm using now. Remove'
|Hyper cognition Removed|
00:00:01
'Ice Magic (High) was necessary before but if I get this skill, I'd be useless. Remove.'
|Ice Magic (High) Removed|
'Now then, should I remove Flux or Hookshot?
Honestly, Hookshot is only good when used in tandem with everlasting chains. There's also physical damage reduction but that one is very useful so I'd leave it.
What about Farsight though? No.'
00:00:02
'Farsight is more useful than Hookshot…in the end, and so is Flux. In the end, Hookshot is the least useful. Remove.
|Hookshot Removed|
The moment he removed the third skill and opened up a skill slot, Evan released the effects of time difference, letting the remaining three seconds flow normally while he struggled to keep Silverwing under in his hold.
At the third second his three strength artifacts overloaded and exploded into pieces, increasing the amount of force that Evan was contending with.
His muscles burst open and the bones in his arm made loud cracking sounds.
Silverwing's other wing swiped through the air, tearing through Evan's elemental shield with ease and going on to slash through his side and making him spit out blood and shattered bone fragments.
Blood splattered out and covered the bird's glistening white feathers while Evan's Health stat dropped so rapidly that the only reason he was still holding on was his Tenacity skill and his boosted life force.
The fact that Silverwing could casually tear through Evan's elemental shield and pierce through his body in his Limit Break + Blessing of Destruction mode was a testament to how much power this monster bird possessed.
And this was when the bird's body was weakened from using its trump card!
At the fourth second, just when he was about to lose his hold on Silverwing due to his broken bones, a wave of life energy directly poured right into his body, healing the broken bones, torn apart flesh and ruptured muscles.
A smile appeared on Evan's face and on the fifth second, he internally expressed his adoration for the person responsible for healing him, despite her wounded state.
'You're a darling, Eliza.'
|Adaptive Evolution has been Triggered|

Evan momentarily appreciated that the system bothered to ask his permission, and in that same moment, he gave his consent.
|Confirmed|
|Crash Lightning Removed|
| 'Unique' Skill: Harbinger of Ice Acquired|
|Unique 'Series Skills' require fi■--four skill slots. |
|All skill slots are currently filled up|
The moment that those last three notifications appeared in his field of view, Evan finally loosened his hold on Silverwing's beak, allowing the bird to knock him with its wing and send his body flying once more.
