"You think we are afraid of you? We trapped you once and we can trap you again!!" The one-eyed hunter dered.


    "You think so?" Dn replied inly.


    "Hell yeah! We just need to go all out!" Therge hunter said.


    "That''s right, we have yet to go all out!" The dwarf like hunter agreed.


    The hunters were just about to attack when a different opinion was made by Barry. He was absolutely angry by the fact that he waspletely ignored earlier by trying to warn his brothers and just recently they were angrilyined that they were not warned when Dn broke out of the restrictions they gave him.


    "Tsk, can''t you see that he is much strongerpared before? He was clearly holding back when we fought him earlier!" What Barry was saying was logical because Dn was holding back earlier and did not use the two Heaven Rank Techniques he has in his disposal.


    ''So not all of them were dumb and conceited.'' Dn wanted to adapt to the changes brought upon by the Legendary Core.


    After fighting with the hunters, Dn was now able to familiarize himself with the fundamentals as well as the control of the Legendary Core. Now that he was done with adapting his newly acquired strength, Dn decided to use his two Heaven Rank Techniques for a dry run.


    " If you want to die that much, then don''t drag me into it. Feel free to die, you nutheads!" Barry cursed and turned around to leave.


    "You coward!" The ck haired hunter scowled.


    "That''s right. I am a coward but this coward knows how to use his brains and retreat in the face of imminent doom! In this sense, being a coward is the wiser than brave people like you who foolishly want to take on their deaths for some energy refining formation. What''s the use of being brave if you know that it would almost assuringly only cause death?" Barry did not back down when he turned around and argued. Since he was already abandoning the pack, he figured that it would be better to do it through and through.


    '' A Heavenly Formation and a Heaven Rank Technique... I escaped during the war of the n with the founding sacred scroll. I''m definitely not going to waste my life fighting a monster like him.'' Barry thought to himself.


    Barry had a bad gut feeling when he felt the energy that Dn exuded from the Thundercloud Monarch Art. He always trusted his guts because it was due to his trust to it that he was able to survive up until now. Now, that he has reacted once again, he did not even think twice and retreat even if he might be wrong. It was even more so when he identified the technique Dn possessed.


    After saying those words, he turned around and continued his departure.


    "You think that those reasons would make you appear a better person? No, it won''t! You''ll still be a traitor!" The vine controller screamed with fury.


    "Pah! Go, walk away! Be the scaredy cat that your are! We''ll show you whose wrong! We''ll definitely win against him and take the formation for ourselves!!" A ck-skinned hunter shouted as well.


    "How pitiful. Can''t you see that he''s messing with you? While you were talking nonsense, he could''ve killed you all like how he easily killed boss. However, he didn''t that just goes to show how easy it is for him to kill you all. Everyone of you would just be whetstone for him to be even stronger. Goodbye. I hope you could all die with a corpse at least." Barry left as he said those words with his back fading to the darkness as he went straight to the cave''s exit.


    Barry''s words suddenly hit the 6 remaining hunters like lightning because what he said was right. He could easily have killed one or two of them while the 7 of them were quarrelling. They looked at Dn who was still being surrounded by the lightnings and the thunderclouds.


    "Are you done arguing? So should we begin?" Dn smiled as he said.


    Dn did not attack because he was overconfident but because he did not want to waste such wonderful guinea pigs to try the techniques of his Thundercloud Monarch Art and Tyrannical Thunderbolt Clouds. If the hunters knew that they would only be guinea pigs for a test run on Dn''s techniques, they would have vomitted blood from anger.


    "Don''t underestimate us!"


    The hunters summoned their Avatars and attacked in duos. The ck haired hunter sent telepathic messages to them that they should divide themselves into group of twos. One would act as the defending team, another would act as the primary attack which would be covered as a diversion while thest would act as the secondary attack in the surface but is the true? attack in reality.


    Although they were arguing earlier, they would still acknowledge the ck haired hunter''s n because he was still considered to be the brain of their hunting group and his ns were all effective when executed properly. They could easily put aside their differences once in battle because they trained themselves to be able to immediately switch tobat the moment they sense danger.


    ''So thats how it is...'' It was just unfortunate that their n was immediately seen through by Dn and then created a counter measure for an attack. Dn still decided to y with their n and attack the defending duo in front? of them.


    "Tigerbeetle Monarch: Piercing Thunder!" Dn released a thunder at the size of an infant which had the shape of a tigerbeetle. This was the skill created by the Tigerbeetle Monarch which possesses unparalleled piercing strength when mastered to Grand Perfection! Even in Novice Mastery, the user could use this skill to prate even a mountain wall easily!


    The defending duo has already created their defenses once Dn attacked. The duo used a Defensive technique called Ironsilk Web. It was a skill that enables the user to produce a spiderweb that wouldn''t be easily broken of any attack from a 11th level Awakened Spirit!


    But the Ironsilk Web could only dy the Piercing Thunder for a shortpse of seconds before snapping. "Impossible..." The defending duo could not believe what happened in front of their eyes as the two horns of the lightning tigerbeetle pierced through each of them! The attack destroyed half of their torso as their bodies were mutted by the residual thunder!


    Dn''s attention shifted to the ground as he prepared for another attack. "The same trick won''t work on me!" Dn swiftly used the Tiger yer Skill on the ground to break it. The ground broke as the huge venomous flytrap and a school of vines appeared. Dn immediately shifted his techniques and roared as he threw another punch: "Tyrant''s Thunder Break!"


    ...


    Tyrant''s Thunder Break was one of the five skills? Dn created in his Tyrannical Thunderbolt Clouds Art! This skill was an area effect skill which Dn envisioned?. He theorized that when he mastered it to Grand Perfection, the area affected would be 1 or even 2 kilometers in diameter! A skill he designed for a massacre!


    Dn designed the Tyrannical Thunderbolt Clouds Art to be overbearing in might! He wanted to use this technique to be the first mark of him bing stronger and try to cover his past mistakes with unbeatable might! The technique embodies his desire to never be weak once more and have the power greater than a monarch, the tyrannical strength of a heavenly tyrant!


    ...


    The two Avatars tried to fight back but it was futile as they were helplessly disintegrated by the immense force the skill contained. Everything within 3 meters of Dn was in rubbles! That was the terrifying strength of the Tyrant''s Thunder Break!


    "Nooo...!!" The two owners of the attack could only cough up tragic amounts of blood with their faces losing color.


    "No way..." Thest duo was shocked but they could not afford to be distracted in this critical juncture as they were already less than five meters away from Dn, ready to deliver the finishing blow.


    "Die!!" The two jointly attack with their des apanied with the use of a Low Earth Ranked Battle Technique which they both mastered to Expert Mastery! They poured out every single once of spirit energy they have and used their two de avatars at the maximum!


    "Now, I get it." Dn contemtedly said as though he was able to encounter enlightenment. He even disregarded? the attack nearing him when he reached the conclusion of his thought!


    Dn materialized the two skills he just used earlier! The strange thing was he ced the Piercing Thunder which was on his left hand on top of the Thunder Break which was on his right fist that was already on the ground!


    Shockingly, a joint skill was created which contained the two characteristics of the two skills stacked together! The piercing ability of the Piercing Thunder and the destructive range of the Thunder Break!


    *BOOM* *BANG*


    "Piercing Thunder Break!" Dn excitedly called out as the lightnings from his two hands ravaged the entire cave! The four remaining hunters were killed miserably by the sword-like lightnings? which were uncontrolled as it danced around the cave! They were not even left with a corpse after the skill died down.


    "Ooops, got a little carried away there." Dn scratched his head and scanned the dpidated cave walls and the ground.


    Dn was able to create the Piercing Thunder Break because the Tyrannical Thunderbolt Clouds Art was able to retain the stacking ability of the Thundercloud Monarch Art since it was derived from it. The degree of simrity in both structure and fundamentals of both skill were nearly uncanny. That''s why their degree ofpatibility is also of the same degree.


    Dn was able to figure out the right maniption of magnitude of both skill and experimented to try it. Fortunately, he seeded because if he failed, he would also be severely injured due to the bacsh of the joint skill.


    Despite knowing this, Dn continued on and gambled. He had already taken into ount even if he failed, the failure of thebination would kill his foes as well. The possibility he feared most was that the cave would be unable to hold on an and copse.


    If that were to happen, Dn would be forced to abandon the formation which he would not want to happen. Thankfully, it did? not happen or else, Dn would have greatly regretted it since the formation can only be formed once by any person who was not a God-level Formation Master like its creator.


    "With the nuisances gone, it''s time for my Legendary Core to evolve." He mused.


    "Ah, that Barry almost slipped my mind." Dn remembered. He then started? to sprint towards the exit of the cave to catch up with Barry. He needed to silence every witness so he could cultivate in the cave safely.
