Chapter 47- Leaving For the Eastern Continent

One Year Later…

Somewhere inside the Ibbian Mountain Range, loud sounds of battle could be heard echoing out.

In the last couple of years, the Ibbian Mountain Range saw many visitors.

However, it was in the past year the number of visitors significantly rose.

Well-built men who resembled miniature mountains.

People dressed in traditional daoist robes.

And people who wore strange militaristic combat attires while carrying even weirder weaponry.

Since this area was closer to the Eastern Continent, those from the three Races were more prominent here.

These people who were roaming the outskirts of the Ibbian Mountain Range would glance in the direction where these sounds of battle were coming from.

Some wore pensive expressions and went on high alert, while some didn't seem concerned about the noise.

It was common for Spirit Beasts to fight against each other, so these sounds of battle were a common occurrence happening almost daily.

And the destruction these fights would cause was devastating, so no one dared approach that area.

However, the people who frequent this area realize that in the last few months, they have been hearing Spirit Beasts fighting quite a lot.

This made them curious, however, they still didn't dare approach the area. This Mountain Range was unexplored, so who knows what kind of new and terrifying Spirit Beasts they would be unlucky to meet.

In the area where the fight between these Spirit Beasts was happening, the scene of destroyed forest trees and large craters could be seen.

Those people were right that the fight between these Ibbian Beasts was destructive, but, they were wrong to assume that two Ibbian Beasts were the ones fighting.

ROAR!!!

An enormous-looking Little Nheer that was around twenty meters released a ferocious roar before charging toward the small figure several meters away.

While panting for air, Sol's eyes widen at Little Nheer.

"How long are you going to continue this? I'm leaving and it's not because I grew tired of playing with you!!"

ROAR!!

Little Nheer released another roar before he pounced towards Sol; his two paws the size of mountains slamming down.

"HUP!"

Sol yelled as he raised his hands and blocked Little Nheer's paws.

BANG!

The clash between them released a shockwave in the surroundings that further uprooted the tall trees around them, while a crater formed below them.

Sol and Little Nheer remain locked like that and the build of energy between them sent violent ripples into the void.

A bright green glow was released from Sol, while a blue aura blazed with vigor around Little Nheer.

This was a clash between the Eastern Continent's Aether Sol cultivated, and the Ibbian Mountain Range's Spirit Essence Little Nheer cultivated.

Over the years, the Ibbian Mountain Range truly became the center of this world.

The energies that were once unique to the Eastern Continent and Western Continent were now mixing here, before seeping into each region.

As Sol and Little Nheer clashed in a battle of raw strength, it didn't take long for Little Nheer to start forcing Sol back.

'And here I thought I was improving fast, but compared to Little Nheer's cultivation speed I'm way too slow. Just his raw talent alone compared to a human's is many times more extraordinary. I really want to know what kind of beast he is.'

Even though Sol was taught the characteristic of the various beasts found on the Eastern Continent, the Ibbian Mountain Range remained unexplored until now. So even his all-knowing Master didn't know what species of Beast Little Nheer, or even Little Zeel was.

However, his Master did have a theory.

In the past, in the same way humans have Deities, there were existences among Spirit Beasts called Divine Beasts.

His Master's theory was that Ibbian Beast like Little Zeel and Little Nheer were descendants of Divine Beasts, or at least they had mutated bloodlines originating from Divine Beasts that lived in the past.

'Having a mutated Divine Beast bloodline would definitely explain Little Nheer's absurd growth over the years. However, I won't lose!'

Sol released a loud growl and he forcefully stopped himself from being pushed back by Little Nheer.

Then with a loud bang, the bracelet on his right wrist fell to the ground.

Swoosh!

Sol's aura skyrocketed to new heights and the green glow around him gain a hint of black as the energy from his own bloodline coursed through his muscles.

Sol had long realized his bloodline might not be any weaker than Little Nheer.

If he were to use the strength of his current cultivation alone, he wouldn't be a match for Little Nheer. But add his bloodline energy into the mix and his strength surpassed Little Nheer's own by a significant margin.

Roar!

Little Nheer released an unwilling roar, but it was useless. He was pushed back by Sol, unable to stop his body.

After losing the clash, Little Nheer retreated back several meters, however, he wasn't finished as he charged at Sol once more.

Sol got ready to meet him head-on once again, but a voice suddenly sounded in Sol's mind.

"Brat, it's time."

It was his Master's voice, but not being used to this type of communication, Sol was slightly distracted.

In this split-second moment of distraction, Sol's vision darken.

Glancing up, he saw Little Nheer's large body overhead.

Sol was unable to react in time and Little Nheer's massive body landed on him with a loud bang.

Roar!

Little Nheer roared while a smug look seem to appear in his eyes.

"Fine, you win, now get off me I can't breathe."

Little Nheer released another roar before his size reduced and he got off Sol.

Coming out of the crater that was shaped like him, Sol looked toward Little Nheer and sighed.

"I have to go now."

Roar!

Little Nheer released a low roar and a sad look appeared in his eyes.

"Aren't you overacting? It's not like you will never see me again."

Little Nheer made a few grunts before he got up and went to Sol; pushing his nose into his chest.

Sol rubbed his white fur which now had a few streaks of gold in it for a while before Little Nheer turned and walked away.

Little Zeel leaped out of the forest nearby and came up to Sol.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

Little Zeel made a few noises as Little Nheer's figure disappeared into the forest.

"Come on Little Zeel, we'll see Little Nheer again. Though I don't know how long that would be."

Little Zeel leaped onto Sol's head, and the two made their way back home after Sol retrieve his bracelet.

After a few minutes, Sol's figure appeared in a clearing that had a small house in it. His Master was there waiting for him in front of it.

"Damn brat, what took you so long? And what happened to your clothes?"

Sol glanced down at his torn clothes as he said.

"I was saying goodbye to Little Nheer, and he threw a fit."

"Well, we're leaving for the Eastern Continent, so go get ready."

Sol hearing this felt excitement rise in his heart.

It was finally a year, and he was about to see what was beyond those mountains.
