Chapter 1379: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(10)
Laney read the details of the card with astonishment, and the more she read, the more she liked the beast, especially when she read the characteristics and its details.

…
Price: One thousand two hundred ultimate Sacred stones.]
The characteristics [Elemental Nexus] were tailor-made for a territory, making Laney further believe in Aakesh's words when he talked about becoming a King being her destiny.
The beast was no less stunning on top of its myriad of different types of abilities. The upper half of the card contained an illustration of the Hanswan.
It had a graceful and slender body, just like a swan. Its feathers were pristine white as if no dust in the world could sully them. They had a soft shine, further adding to the beauty of the beast. Its eyes were a deep, crystalline blue, glowing with wisdom and serenity. Along its body and wings, there were intricate patterns that represented the different elements it controlled. Flowing water patterns, swirling winds, frosty ice crystals, radiant beams of light, and musical notes intertwined seamlessly among its feathers.
In short, the Hanswan was a sight to behold. Its appearance further added to Laney's interest in the bird.
Since there were no words of complaint Laney could think of, her decision to initiate the taming battle was instant. She then left the queue and walked toward the square device.
Laney had enough wealth at that time that she didn't even flinch when she saw the price of the beast.
While waiting for her turn, Laney made some strategies regarding the taming battle in her mind. Time flew by, and her wait finally came to an end. It was time for her to tame the Hanswan.
In a sense, it was her first traditional taming battle because she defeated the Yellow King with Aakesh's assistance. Laney took a deep breath and placed the card in its respective compartment while placing her hand where it was required.
The next moment, Laney found her vision changing, and she was no longer in the store. She stood in a vast, serene grassland with lakes of different sizes. At the same time, the air made whistling sounds that further calmed the stress she had.
The next moment, a bubbling sound rang in the area from one of the lakes, and soon after, a swan emerged from underwater. Seeing the beast in reality was way more wondrous than seeing it in the card's illustration.
A gentle smile automatically spread across her face since just seeing the beast soothed her heart.
Whistle!
The next moment, a whistling sound rang in Laney's ears as the Hanswan flapped its wings and took flight. It then stopped midair and looked down at Laney.
If it had been before, Laney would have worried about a beast in the air, but since she had reached the True God level, she could now fly in the Sacred Dimension.
Her experience with flying during the trial helped her immediately master flying in the Sacred Dimension. She also took flight and stopped at the same height as the Hanswan.
The Hanswan were gentle yet ferocious creatures. As long as others stayed away from its range of abilities, it would remain calm and peaceful. But if someone dared to trespass in their territory, the ferocious side hidden beneath its beautiful appearance would rush out.
Growl! RING!
The sound of the bell ringing drowned out the beast's growl. The Hanswan didn't mind the ringing since it had been waiting for it.
It immediately attacked, activating [Glacial Impact]. The next moment, a massive ice projectile like a mountain emerged above it. It was immediately hurled at Laney.
Laney tried to dodge it but found herself frozen when a melody rang in her ears. Laney acted on time, forcing herself to move away, and the gigantic ice projectile was met with empty air.
When it crashed to the ground, a cloud of vapor and dust emerged, while Laney remained unscathed. Every customer had an advantage in the taming battle in that they knew about all the abilities of the beast they would be battling.
In cases of extreme power differences, knowing or not knowing didn't make much of a difference. But when the power difference between the two sides wasn't very wide, that knowledge was immensely beneficial to the customers.
Laney used that knowledge to her advantage and attacked. The next moment, a blue glow appeared around her, covering her completely.
In no time, the blue light melted into her, forming an armor. It was a great skill she had gained in Panagea and had exchanged for a terrifyingly high price.
In no time, Laney had turned into a blue mecha warrior. Despite her being in the air, the ground right below her began to sink. It was a gravity-related skill.
On the ground, Laney was immensely heavy, but for her, she was light as a feather. She added some energy to her legs and pounced forward. The next moment, she flew toward the beast like a kite.
A deep blue glow appeared around her armored hand, and she punched. Even before the punch could hit the Hanswan, it felt an intense weight hit it. The gravity beneath it had reached an outrageous height, trying to pull her down.
Growl!
The Hanswan growled, activating [Cryo Ward]. The next moment, the gravity affecting her slightly decreased in intensity, but at that time, Laney had reached it.
Laney had predicted the movements made by the Hanswan when she would use the skill, so she had already prepared for everything.
But as the saying goes, things and their implementations can be planned, but the result can not be. When Laney's punch seemed to hit the beast, a strong fluctuation of energy suddenly appeared around it.
