Free Web NovelChapter 139: Monarch’s Delight
The next phase was Combat Capability Assessment. The staffs led them to the Tactical Evaluation Arena.
While Felix and Krisha were led to the arena, others were led to the spectator’s area together with the other staffs.
Felix and Krisha simultaneously underwent controlled combat evaluation.
They were assessed based on their beast coordination, reaction speed, tactical judgement, energy efficiency, and battlefield adaptability.
They weren’t number 1 and 2 successively in the Azure Cleave Dojo for a reason. In fact, they believed they reached that rank because that was the only rank, they had to reach.
Now that they had their second summoning and had far surpassed their self when they were at the Azure Cleave Dojo, then the evaluation went easier than they thought.
Now that Felix did not need to use a wooden sword, but Rain, just the River Strike alone instantly killed a Rare rank beasts at fifth tier.
At this point, he was already facing a Unique beast, that was entirely different than a Rare rank.
But Rain alone was already at Unique rank. Moon was also at the 3rd Tier Rare rank. With Ashen also joining in, the battle went easier, compelling the staffs to keep receiving Unique beasts with different type to understand Felix’s overall combat ability.
Felix had an easier time fighting against beasts on land, but against aerial, he was having quite a difficulty.
Though, he felt it was easier to fight against beasts under the water because of Rain.
Krisha, on the other hand, surprisingly managed to defeat a Unique beast at first tier.
At this point, the staffs were dumbfounded. It was clearly difficult for a Commander Beast Tamer to defeat a Unique rank, when they were at Commander Rank 6 or less. Although it was possible if they reached Commander Rank 10 since together with their beast pets, they could overwhelm the Unique beast, it was still unbelievable that Felix and Krisha could defeat one at their current rank.
Felix, meanwhile, defeated until Unique beast at second tier. It was incomprehensible. Sure, it was reasonable given by Rain’s rank, Felix himself was still at Commander Rank 6.
It was definitely exhausting for him to keep expending energy to keep up with Rain’s consumption to execute techniques repeatedly.
The staffs had also already prepared to examine Felix’s armament on this phase, recording his weapon synchronization, manifestation stability, and combat integration efficiency, and their preparation wasn’t still enough.
Felix’s overall strength was still difficult to assess.
The staffs were also panicking. They failed to provide a deep and accurate data information to the Monarchs.
Nevertheless, the Monarchs assured that it was fine, given that Felix was the first armament summoner in the history.
They would also expect more appearance like him, so the Monarchs sternly added that failure in the future was not an option.
After the staffs unknowingly spent an hour in the fifth phase, they finally concluded to move to the sixth phase.
The sixth phase was located in the Cognitive Stability Center. It was mandatory for all Commander Beast Tamer.
After all, it evaluates the Commander Beast Tamer’s mental resilience, emotional stability, corruption resistance, and cognitive synchronization health.
This was immensely important, given that there were various types of beasts who targeted the mentality of the beast tamers.
Such beasts were extremely rare, but they dealt fatal damage to the beast tamers. Hence, it was important for the beast tamers to focus and not forget enhancing their mental defensive ability.
Furthermore, the sixth phase was extremely important for beast tamers like Felix and Krisha, who had rapid-growth, unusually high-energy, and anomalous talents.
It would determine if their mental capacity could keep up with their monstrous talents, as most of the talented beast tamers with immense potential couldn’t shine because their mental health couldn’t keep up.
But as expected, after having their mental health tested, Felix and Krisha remained firm. Although Krisha’s mental health fluctuated for a bit, it remained on the A-grade, leaving the staffs to be awestruck.
Then, out of nowhere, Felix and Krisha were asked what they wanted to do with their power.
Felix responded with a grim expression, after having been reminded by the revelation from Flame Sovereign.
"My family remains my top-priority, then my friends, then the humanity. I don’t aspire to be a hero, but I know for sure that I am given by the power to make a change. I’ll use this power to protect the weak and repel those who tries to harm us. Like any other powerful beast tamers, it’s only right for me to become their umbrella."
Krisha, meanwhile, responded with her main goal. "I’ll grow stronger until I’m capable to enter space rifts and find my mother. She’s strong. I believe she’s alive. I’ll find her, alive or not, no matter what. I also don’t want the same thing to happen to others, so I’ll fight in the front line once I’m strong enough, with Felix."
She unknowingly mentioned the last part and when she realized, her heart skipped a beat and suddenly raced as her face flushed.
She had never expected what she had said, but there was no turning back.
Their responses were immediately forwarded to the Monarchs, who were delighted by their response.
They feared that, with Felix and Krisha’s young age and self-aware potential, they might covet power at an expense of the ordinary people.
However, they were wrong. With the help of lie detector, they confirmed that Felix and Krisha genuinely were like them—aiming first for the humanity.
After all, there were one thing that each mayor was extremely aware.
In the history of the humanity, the humans, before the space rifts appeared, ruled the world. freёwebnovel.com
But when the apocalypse descended and was now in the post-apocalyptic timeline, the historian believed that the current humanity’s expansion wasn’t even a quarter of the whole world.
Despite the appearance of the Monarch Beast Tamers, even they felt unable to break through and conquer half of the world, with the presence of Monarch Beasts spread across the world...
