[A/N: 3 more chapters incoming]

*BOOM*
Shooting through the mist, Silas appeared before the bat. He stretched out his arms before grabbing the bat\'s head and spinning around it.
A deafening screech left the bat\'s mouth, but since he wasn\'t in front of it, it didn\'t affect him.
Winding his arms back, Silas threw a flurry of punches, each holding his full power and weight behind them.
The sound of several bangs rattled the trees.In its rampage, the bat flew uncontrollably and destroyed everything in its path with its sonic screams.
Suddenly, multiple earth cannons shot through the air in hopes of blasting a hole through the bat\'s chest. However, despite their speed, the bear blasting them was not much of a sniper.
*Bang*
However, the bear didn\'t have to be.
"Gotcha." Silas smiled bloodily while opening up his arms and grabbing the bat\'s wings with his crushing grip.
Forcefully manhandling the bat\'s wings, Silas forced it in a certain direction, and before it could even comprehend what was happening-
*Splurt*
An earth cannon entered through its front torso and left through its back. While they were both of the same core grade, Silas noticed that beasts without elements were much weaker than those with elements.
From his perspective, it didn\'t make sense. Silas had always considered mana the strongest and most superior form of energy. Sure, elemental energies had certain properties, but mana was the most adaptable since it had all of the elemental features but on a smaller scale.
Yet, despite the bat and the bear being on the same core grade, one was clearly stronger.
Looking down, Silas saw the bat\'s guts shooting out of the other side, coating the trees behind it in blood and gore before it back, fell toward those very trees.
The bat let out the loudest screech yet, making blood leak out of Silas\' ears. Gritting his teeth, Silas grabbed the bat\'s head and pointed it toward the earth bear. Sound waves to slam into its thick brown fur while pushing the enormous several-ton bear several meters back.
However, despite the power of the screech tearing apart the ocean of trees and mist before it, it didn\'t damage the bear itself other than pushing it back.
The bear was too heavyand strong. Unless Silas used his strongest tier 3 spell, he doubted that the bear would even have a scratch on itsbody.
"Damnit." Creating an earth spike before his fingers, Silas quickly shot it into the bat\'s brain and killed it instantly.

"Oh... uhhh..."
*BANG*
Hearing the familiar bang of an earth cannon, Silas sighed and quickly switched his mana fusion for earth fusion, instantly increasing his weight while making his muscles, bones, organs, and even skin, tougher and stronger.
Stretching his arms out, Silas waited for the earth cannon instead of dodging. Anyone else would have called him crazy, maybe he was, but he knew what he was doing.
*BOOOM*
With his arms out, Silas caught the earth cannon within his arms.
He slid several meters back. He could feel the flesh on his hands tearing away as the boulder began to crumble between his fingers.
However, despite all this, Silas stopped sliding back. His momentum dropped to zero before the final pieces of the boulder made of earth fell to the ground with low thuds.
\'I\'ve grown stronger... Much stronger... Even with Earth fusion, that attack would have definitely killed me before.\' Silas grinned while looking at his hands that were automatically regenerating.
Even the bear seemed stunned by the sudden show of strength since it didn\'t create more earth cannons. It had clearly expected Silas to dodge all of its attacks, but now that Silas had blocked its attacks, it was unsure what to do. It was an intelligent creature. Silas could tell that much.
Looking it in the eye, Silas frowned. It had a silent glint in its iris that made him feel like the bear had become more dangerous than ever.
\'Nope.\' Silas turned around and began to run. The path behind him was no longer filled with beasts and monsters... No, saying such a thing would be a lie. To rephrase, the path behind him was no longer filled with living creatures. It was covered with the carcasses of hundreds of creatures. Whether they were killed by him or other creatures was no longer of his concern.
*Swoosh*
Suddenly, a blanket of mist covered the area between them, but since Silas had mystic vision, it didn\'t really matter. He assumed that the bear could detect others\' positions, but he wasn\'t too sure.
The sound of something freezing at a rapid rate entered Silas\' ears, making him instantly widen his eyes.
\'Ice magic?!\' He widened his eyes and looked for the source of the sound. After peering through the mist, Silas saw the mist being condensed into a single point.
He had killed quite a few of the mistwalkers, but so far, not a single one created ice out of their mist... Or could it be called fog?
*Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh*
The ice spikes passed Silas by a hair\'s breadth. Even with earth fusion activated, those ice spikes were essentially nails. They were sharp and were twice as fast as the earth cannons. They would have definitely broken skin if not even penetrated through a limb or two.
At the same time, a pillar of ice suddenly shot into the air with the carcass of the sonic bat hanging off it.
**RUMBLE**
Suddenly, earth pillars rose from the ground before shooting into the air. They moved like snakes, yet they weren\'t aimed at him...
Silas shuddered.
He had slid to a stop.
He could see something in the distance... Something that the earth bear had sensed before he did.
He couldn\'t move a muscle
He felt the hairs at the back of his neck stand up in attentiveness.
His entire body shivered.
Fear seeped deep into his heart
The feeling of pure dread finally fell upon every creature on the battlefield.
And the source of that dread was standing before his very eyes. It was a creature made of shadows that constantly moved and shifted. It was a creature of darkness that caused even the earth bear to shiver.
*ROOOOOOOOAAAAAR*
A terrifying roar came out of the earth bear\'s maw before the earth pillars turned into sand before forming into drills made of earth.
Silas was too terrified to look back. However, if he had seen what the earth bear had just done, he would have realized that it was going easy on him, possibly even playing with him. He wouldn\'t have known why, but it would definitely have messed with him.
The drills spun and shot toward the monster at extreme speeds.
Simultaneously, the shadow swarm raised its hand into the air and pointed at the drills.
Everything else happened quickly.
The shadows moved like lightning as the hand turned into hundreds of tendrils formed from pure darkness.
In less than a second, the tendrils had created destruction that spanned out for hundreds of meters.
Trees and earth were uprooted in an instant.
Every creature in its path was killed or put into death\'s palm.
The bear had barely built a fortress around it to block most of the attack. However, it was still injured after some tendrils passed through the fortress and stabbed through its thick fur.
And Silas... Well...
"Belgh."
He was in the air, lifted up by several shadow tendrils that stabbed through his chest and abdomen while puking out mouthfuls of blood.
Without a single thought, the monster whipped its tendrils to the side, flinging Silas through the air and crashing through hundreds of trees.
