nWhile gaining an SS-level skill might be attributed to luck, the acquisition of an SSS-level skill was another matter entirely.

nHow had Howard managed to obtain such a power?

nThe SSS-level skills are considered treasures among the most powerful elite factions.

nWhile they are not completely off-limits, they are rarely shared without significant consideration.

nThe idea of stumbling upon an SSS-level skill inheritance in the wild borders on the impossible.

nThis is primarily because current methods of inheritance lack the capacity to handle such colossal power.

nSSS-level skills are typically conveyed directly by supreme experts or stored in high-level skill books, which are sustained and nurtured with spiritual power by influential forces.

nFor example, Howard’s access to advanced Draconic Magic came through the Guardian Divine Dragon of the Chan family.

nTherefore, when Howard unleashed the SSS-level skill – Annihilation of the Tempest Goddess, it completely stunned both Wales and Daniel.

nWales was somewhat less shocked; he had always perceived Howard as an extraordinary figure.

nHowever, Daniel was truly startled, rooted to the spot in shock.

nHis brief hesitation gave the mighty Extraplanar creatures time to gather their wits.

nThey understood that their underlings were no match for the continuous attack of an SSS-level skill and realized the failure of their strategy.

nTheir goal had been to divert attention, so the actual result – victory or defeat – was not their primary concern.

nNevertheless, they were reluctant to see their forces decimated.

nIn a flash, they began converging on Howard.

nTheir logic was clear: if Howard was the source of the skill, then perhaps defeating him would interrupt the SSS-level skill!

nIn a fleeting moment, the most formidable among the Frost Giants took the initiative.

nDespite their enormous size and seemingly sluggish movements, their large physique granted them a significantly wide attack radius.

nThus, it was a Frost Giant who first managed to strike Howard’s transformed storm.

nA massive fist pounded onto the ground, shattering the once brownish-yellow earth.

nThis was followed by the explosive emergence of several towering ice pillars, enveloped in a shocking chill, fiercely striking the storm incarnation of Howard.

nThankfully, as an SSS-level skill was in effect, Howard was in an invulnerable state during its activation.

nTherefore, although the ice pillars, borne from the cold, appeared menacing, they were unable to inflict any damage on Howard.

nNevertheless, the group of Extraplanar creatures was not without intellect.

nIn that brief moment, they understood that they couldn’t injure Howard under these circumstances.

nHowever, their inability to harm Howard didn’t equate to a lack of alternative strategies.

n“Strike all at once, use overwhelming force to rend his storm form!”

n“If we disrupt the state of his storm form, the skill itself will cease!”

nA shrill roar echoed as a winged Mortality Murderer appeared.

nIts multitude of legs shimmered with razor-sharp, frosty edges, lunging towards Howard’s storm form with astonishing velocity.

nThe Frost Giants followed suit, their hands balled into fists.

nAs they summoned a gale of chilling air, it swiftly morphed into a colossal axe.

nThis axe tore through the very fabric of space, fiercely descending upon Howard as well.

nMeanwhile, the blood-red ants ignited into blazing infernos.

nBi-bo, bi-bo!

nThe air resonated with the sound of intense burning, the heat rising so rapidly it painted the sky a fiery red.

nIt was at this pivotal moment that Howard’s expression shifted.

nWind is inherently linked to air, and in an environment of extreme heat, there was a real possibility that the wind could be extinguished.

nThe Extraplanar beings, human in appearance, lacked long-range offensive abilities.

nHowever, they quickly pivoted, launching an assault towards Daniel and Wales.

nThey understood the imperative of stopping Daniel and Wales from aiding Howard against these formidable attacks.

nJust then, Wales and Daniel snapped into action, albeit too late.

nThe human-like Extraplanar beings were already upon them.

nGiven the relative physical inferiority of humans to Extraplanar beings, a close-quarters confrontation was not favorable.

nDaniel, unable to risk being hit, hastily retreated to widen the gap between him and the encroaching foes.

n“This is bad!”

nTana, witnessing Howard on the brink of being overwhelmed by the trio of fearsome attacks, had her face contort with alarm. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮

nShe sprung into action, propelling herself towards Howard’s position.

nA shield of spiritual power erupted around her.

nIt was evident that Tana intended to use her own might to absorb the brunt of the assault for Howard.

nWhy didn’t anyone attempt to intercept her?

nThe Extraplanar entities still in the fray were immensely strong and seemed to underestimate Tana, hence their focus on obstructing Wales and Daniel.

nThis, however, allowed Tana to tap into her strength, reaching Howard’s side just as the multitude of attacks were about to erupt.

nWith a resounding boom, the next moment was a maelstrom of attacks converging upon Tana.

nThe formidable force tore through her shield in an instant. Luckily, at that critical juncture, Tana had reached Howard’s vicinity.

nThe storm he had embodied unleashed its power, drawing Tana into its spiraling embrace, offering her protection.

nHoward, intrinsically a deeply sentimental and relational individual, valued Tana’s kindness towards him.

nNow, as she was willing to lay down her life for his protection, he couldn’t stand idly by as she faced attack.

nYet, Howard had not foreseen the magnitude of the Extraplanar creatures’ concerted assault.

nBlazing flames and terrifying heat, coupled with bone-piercing frost axes and the relentless stabs of sharp limbs against the storm, resulted in a chaotic confluence of forces.

nAlready volatile and ferocious, the intermingling of fire and wind was now uncontrollable, further complicated by the infusion of other elements.

nEven Howard’s execution of an SSS-level skill struggled to sustain the balance of the elements.

nBoom!

nIn the ensuing moment, a formidable energy burst forth.

nInvisible waves of force unfurled, laden with staggering power.

nEvery Extraplanar being and student it touched felt as though hammered by an unseen force, leaving them stunned and strewn across the ground.

nWales and Daniel were no exceptions.

nThey were hurled away by the sheer might of the blast.

nThough they remained conscious, they were wracked with intense pain, rendering them immobile.

nWhat about the nucleus of the explosion?

nIt radiated an ominous black light, an eerie force that contorted space itself, evoking the image of a black hole—profound and enigmatic.

nThankfully, this black hole was transient, fading away after a short duration.

nYet, in the aftermath of the black hole’s disappearance, Howard and Tana were nowhere to be seen.

nAlso vanished was the space rift.

nThe immense power of the blast could be attributed to the detonation of the space rift, resulting from the convergence of multiple forces.

nThis explained why even a combatant of Daniel’s caliber found himself immobilized, his consciousness blurred.

nTime seemed to stand still before Daniel finally came to.

nHe shook his head to clear it, rising to his feet and scanning the area.

nNoticing the Extraplanar creatures in a severely weakened state, he exhaled a breath of relief.

nThey had, at least, emerged victorious from this battle.

nBut the realization that Howard and Tana were absent struck a chord of panic in him.

n“What is happening?!”

n“Where have Howard and Tana disappeared to?! They… wait a minute! What happened to the space rift?!”

nDaniel’s pupils dilated abruptly.

nAs no mere ordinary awakened, the moment he witnessed the space rift’s vanishing, a potential scenario swiftly materialized in his mind – Howard and Tana might have activated the space rift, resulting in their transportation elsewhere.

nNormally, space rifts are associated with random teleportations.

nYet, given the enigmatic nature of the present Extraplanar creatures, it was conceivable that the rift could have a predetermined destination.

nWith this realization, Daniel swiftly sprang into action, soaring towards one of the humanoid Extraplanar entities.

nIntent on communication, he subconsciously assumed that only those with human-like forms would be capable of interaction.

nObserving the Extraplanar creature still unconscious, a chill glinted in Daniel’s eyes.

nHe raised his hand, delivering a series of sharp slaps to its face.

nStartled awake by the sudden strikes, the Extraplanar being’s eyes flew open to meet the fierce gaze of an imposing figure, instilling a deep sense of dread.

n… .

nAs Daniel was engaged in questioning the Extraplanar creature, Howard and Tana, just as he had speculated, were indeed drawn into a space channel at the instant the space rift exploded.

nHowever, due to the rift’s explosive state, the channel was far from stable.

nRather than being transported back via the intended space channel, Howard and Tana found themselves halfway through when the channel abruptly collapsed.

nThey were then separately cast into the chaotic Space Turbulence.

nHad it not been for their unconscious state, the sheer psychological toll inflicted by the Space Turbulence could have been enough to shatter their sanity.
