[113] Chapter - 67: The Beasts Attack (Part 1/2) The beast slammed into the clearing, sending a convulsion through the earth. The ground shattered, spiderwebbing with fissures as plumes of dust exploded outward. It forced Eklavya, Zeliang, and Chandra a step back. Their instincts scream before their minds can catch up. For a fleeting moment, they stood transfixed. It was a half-step fifth-tier beast. At such proximity, its sheer magnitude was overwhelming—its colossal frame rivalling Chandra, the tallest among them. The twin heads towered above. The predatory gazes glinted under the argent wash of moonlight, while its immense wings folded with a heavy and deliberate grace. An oppressive aura radiated from its form, saturating the air with suffocating density, as though the very atmosphere had grown reluctant to move in its presence. The beast let out a low, resonant growl, its twin heads lowering slightly as both pairs of eyes locked onto them with predatory intent. The sound vibrated through the clearing, deep and oppressive, as if the air itself recoiled from it. Zeliang stepped forward, positioning himself beside Eklavya, his expression sharpening with focus. “Go deal with the low-level fourth-tier beasts,” he said firmly. “Chandra and I will hold this one back.” “After that, we will be able to win.” He added. Eklavya understood the grim calculus of the battlefield instantly. With three fourth-tier beasts anchoring the horde, their formation was a fragile line held against a rising tide—an imbalance that invited total collapse. Even if they managed to slay the titan before them, the victory would be hollow, bought with the lifeblood of their comrades. It was a sacrifice Zeliang refused to demand. Eklavya nodded. “Okay, but be careful. I will join after killing the fourth-tier beast.” They both nodded, understanding passing between them without further words. Zeliang drew in a deep breath as his ki surged through his body, Chandra doing the same beside him. Their auras expanded, dense and forceful, pressing outward and making the air around them feel heavier, charged with restrained power. Their focus locked onto the beast before them—unwavering. The purple tiger let out a sharp, piercing cry. In the next instant, needles of condensed violet ki formed around its mouths and shot forward in rapid succession. It was tearing through the air like streaks of purple light, each one carrying lethal precision. Zeliang and Chandra reacted instantly, dodging the barrage with swift, controlled movements before launching themselves into the air. The beast followed without hesitation, its massive wings beating once as it surged upward to meet them. At the same time, Eklavya had already broken away. He moved toward the horde with swift and controlled steps, ready to intercept the advancing beasts and support the others before they were overwhelmed. Gripping his spear, Eklavya activated his supreme body. Golden markings began to spread across his skin, flowing outward in intricate patterns like molten lines of light. The transformation was immediate, his presence sharpening as power surged through him. Without pause, he invoked the Ten Chakra Technique. Rings of ki formed around his arm, spinning rapidly, each layer tightening and accelerating as they revolved. They emit a faint, humming force that grows stronger with every rotation. A third-tier beast charged straight toward him, its claws tearing into the ground as it lunged. It was only a low-level one. Eklavya didn’t slow. With a single, precise motion, he drove his spear forward, the blade piercing straight through its skull. Blood burst outward as the tip sank deep and halted. Without hesitation, he twisted the shaft and flicked it aside. The lifeless body was hurled off the spear, spinning through the air before crashing into a tree at the edge of the clearing. The impact was brutal. Its bark split, and the trunk shuddered with a deep, cracking sound. The thick, ancient tree gave way
