Fein looked at the frozen Sand Critters. He already knew that this monster are already dead. He felt it unfortunate that if he was just slightly fast the exp wouldn't be wasted.
"Are they really dead?" Sofia asked with uncertainty.
It was the first time in her life she saw a creature that was frozen to death.
"The power of frost is more terrible than you thought. The highest upper limit that it can reach is what they called "Absolute Zero". One of the most terrible power in the Universe. But it was almost impossible to reach because of the infinite amount of work you need to do to remove the heat from a substance."
Sofia who was the heir of the Vladimir Family also knew what "Absolute Zero" means. Absolute Zero can freeze anything. Because it means that all particles stopped moving. It even freezes time, space, and black holes. It was the lowest possible temperature one can reach in theory.
Sofia looked at Aoi in another light after thinking of this.
"Do you think Aoi has the chance to reach this?"
Fein looked at Aoi for a moment before touching his chin as if thinking. "Legendary Beasts that have Ice Attributes have the closest chance to almost reaching that state. But I don't think that they can attain it even at its peak. "Absolute Zero" is already at the level of laws and concepts. Only the so-called Mythical Creatures has the probability to reach it and it's also not 100% certain."
After saying this, Fein couldn't help but look at Voli.
Voli is a mutated beast. Fein knew that the mutated legendary beasts can become mythical beasts because of their specialness. What specialness? Fein speculates that what caused the mutation on creatures like Voli was due to the high concentration of mythical blood they have in their body. After all, Legendary Beast power came from the minuscule or traces of mythical blood that they have in them
If Voli can reach become a mythical beast, wouldn't that make him a god of thunder or something close to that?
Fein stopped his delusions. This habit of his was bad. He knew that he shouldn't expect things that aren't there yet.
He himself already has infinite potential. He just needs time and he can rival anyone with his talent.
Sofia sighed lightly. "Yeah, it seems I'm thinking too much, having Aoi is already enough for me,"
Sofia hugged Aoi with happiness in her eyes. Aoi on other hand was shrieking with joy.
"Aoi you are so strong just now! You can kill the enemies just like that"
Seeing the sweet interaction between Sofia and Aoi he can't help but feel envious.
Fein looked at Voli.
Voli also looked at his master. After seeing his master's face, Voli snorted.
"..."
Fein sighed. Does Voli have bipolar disorder? How come when they are alone he was still licking him happily? But now??
Suddenly a strange idea came to his mind. Thinking of this, a victory smile crept up on his face.
"I won't cook for you later!"
Voli who was merrily doing his own thing froze. He looked at his master with wronged expression, as if he was about to cry.
"Just kidding..." Fein chuckled.
...
-2 hours later-
Just like that, the group of Fein kept traveling in the desert. Sofia was insisting that they should let Aoi carry them to the sky because it was more efficient. But Fein was reluctant to do so. They are in the Monster World to gain experience. Fein wants them to thoroughly experience the process. Because for one to become stronger, hardships are indispensable.
Fein was humming while they were walking. While Sofia was beside Aoi. On the other hand, Voli was following behind Fein with sleepy eyes.
*ting*
They heard a sound of battle not far away from them.
"Are the monsters fighting?" Fein muttered.
He discovered earlier that his exp bar was closed just now. Meaning... He can't really gain exp even if he kills a monster. He theorize that this was because his talent was undergoing a sublimation process. That's why he was not that enthusiastic after knowing that there are monsters ahead of them.
Sofia had a thoughtful expression.
Isn't this the territory of Giant Centipede?
Sofia who familiarize herself with the desert specially marked the territories of different monsters on her mind.
Hmmm... The giant centipede wasn't that strong with their current strength. Although it was Class S. If it was their previous strength. Sofia would definitely not take it lightly. But she saw Fein's sword art, she knew that S ranks are now doable as long as it was alone.
As they get nearer to the battle. Fein's eye became smaller, as looked ahead.
'Isn't this the sound of a metal collision?'
Fein suddenly realized that the battle isn't as simple as they thought. It may be another human explorer who proceeded earlier than them.
"It may be a fellow explorer, let's go!" Fein rushed to the battle. Every step of his was covering a distance of 16 meters, as he appeared and disappeared closer to the battle.
Aoi lowered herself to the ground and looked at Voli and Sofia.
Seeing this, the two didn't comment any longer and jumped on top of Aoi.
It was logically faster to travel in the air than on land.
After making sure that her friends were holding it properly on its back. Aoi flew to the battlefield following Fein.
As they became nearer they saw 5 humans battling a Giants Centipede in the distance. There are three human corpses under the Giant Centipede. The body parts were scattered on the ground. Eyeball, female head, and gnawed arms registered on their eyes.
One that was particularly eye-catching was the Giant Centipede which has red blazing skin. It was blazing because the whole Centipede was covered by fire that exudes a very high temperature.
Sofia felt dizzy, she felt her insides turn upside down. She tried to massage her belly to prevent nausea.
The humans that are fighting the Giant Centipede are at disadvantage. They are composed of three men and two women. The team composition of the group was fairly high-end. As the two women were dealing damage in the distance as they were in the backline.
The three men in the front line are the ones responsible for the melee. One was carrying a big armor and kept aggroing the Giant Centipede.
Because of the fire of the enemy, the three on the frontline were struggling.
