Universal Power System



[At the military headquarters]

All holographic screens at the circular table had been turned off except for one. The sergeants were tasked with monitoring the remaining cadets and other areas while those at the table focused all their attention on the group of five cadets that were trying to attempt to make history by facing the final wave of the horde night, something only a few cadets had accomplished in history.

The horde night was actually the last test that the military had designed for the cadets that would initiate randomly on any of the last 5 days of the test where all of them would either get eliminated from the test or spend the remaining time peacefully by running away from the horde, but either way they were all cadets who would get accepted into the military school.

Within the last 30 years, nobody had cleared the third wave of the horde night; however, this time something was different, three different groups had been able to defeat the third wave and one of them had actually dared to fight the fifth wave.

All the officials and the main commander stared at the live feed of the fight that was about to make history.

"These kids have coincidently faced this type of beast before, but that one had the limiter placed on it so that it wouldn't go wild and start killing cadets, but this time these advanced tier beasts don't have any limiter placed on them. These kids are going to experience the true terror of an advanced-tier beast. Let's see how you fare against them!" The main commander said as the holographic screen was enlarged so that everyone could easily observe.

[Back at the west mountain]

The Terra beetles hadn't made a move yet and just stared at Mako and his friends who were frozen in fear from the oppressive aura they were releasing. Mako was already in his calculating mode of thinking, trying to come of a way with a way for them to make it out of this situation alive.

A minute passed by and nobody moved an inch, Mako was so deep in thought that he didn't even realize the time fly by until finally, Bill raised his voice slightly to make Mako snap out of it.

"Mako! Why aren't they attacking us?" Bill asked.

Now that Mako thought about it, Bill was right. These were beasts. Beasts were known for being vicious, bloodthirsty monsters, who attacked and killed people on site; however, these Terra Beetles just remained still and released their aura.

Mako didn't understand why the beasts weren't attacking them, but suddenly his eye caught something. There was a very faint flicker of red light right below the neck of the Terra Beetle King that was in front of him. Mako looked to his left and observed the same flicker on the other Terra Beetle King as well.

He was very intrigued and decided to use Analyze on the faint red flicker to see what it was.

[Analyze]

[01:24]

[01:23]

[01:22]

It was a timer that was ticking down right in front of them. The small machine was embedded into the flesh of the Terra Beetle King, and it didn't take Mako a second more to figure out what was going on.

"It's a head start! There is a timer on their necks that is counting down and preventing them from engaging us while the timer is still active. Hurry! Use your strongest attacks while you still can! We only have a minute left!" Mako shouted out his realization.

"We don't have much time, make them as weak as possible with your strongest move. Remember, this beast is weak to fire and penetrating attacks. If you have a strong move that has either of these quantities, then use it on the kings so they receive the most amount of damage.

The others didn't question Mako as they knew he was probably right yet again and just followed suit activating their auras and preparing their strongest attacks.

Mako began concentrating his fire aura on his fingertips as he was preparing as strong of a Flame Bullet blast as he could while making sure that he wouldn't damage himself in the process.

Bill fell down to his knees and began using his earth's ability to grind the rocks down into sand just like he had done before so that he would have plenty of sand for the tough battle ahead.

Erin's Ice began glowing white once again. She quickly brought out ten droplets of water and started condensing them into ice bullets once again; however, this time she didn't create ten bullets but rather only 5 as she used twice the amount of aura to condense two droplets into one bullet, making them many times more penetrative and destructive.

Erin laid out the 5 condensed bullets across her arm just like before and loaded one of them on her fingertips and began powering up so the bullet would be launched at maximum power.

Leon only had a level 1 Fire ability so his fire attack wouldn't be so effective against the giant Terra Beetle Kings, so he had to opt for a strong penetrating attack.

"Hey, Erin! Can I borrow that combat knife for now?!" Leon asked.

Erin looked towards Leon and smiled. She understood why Leon wanted the knife and quickly threw the knife into the air toward Leon. He grabbed it and instantly began speeding around the whole place.

Leon was increasing his speed to the maximum so that he would have as much momentum as possible when striking the Terra Beetle King, and as an added bonus, he also began heating the blade so he could extra damage to the King Beetle.

Lastly, Iris. She didn't have an ability that had a connection with heat or piercing so she began doing everything in her power to reduce the number by targeting the smaller Terra Beetles so that the team wouldn't have to worry about as much when the fighting begins.

Mako checked the time once again to see how much more time they had left.

[Analyze]

[00:09]

[00:08]

[00:07]

Realizing that they didn't have any time left, Mako shouted for all of them to release their moves now or else it would be too late.

[Flame Bullet has been activated]

All of Mako's friends let out a massive roar as they released their strongest moves on the Beetle King in front of them.

A gigantic glowing bullet of fire shot out of Mako's fingers. A similar-sized ice bullet was shot out of Erin's hand. These two attacks were the fastest by far out of all of them and were the first to make contact with the King Beetle, blowing up in a huge explosion that covered the King Beetle in both flames and ice.

Next, Bill had created more than enough sand now, and he directed the sand to be underneath the Beetle King, and from there massive sharp sand spikes erupted that stabbed the Beetle King.

Last was Leon. He kicked it up another notch and ran as fast as he could and when he had reached his maximum momentum, dashed in to stab the Beetle King with his heated blade.

The Ice and Flame Bullet had created an awful lot of mist that covered the Beetle King making it hard for Leon to find his mark; however, he was unlikely to miss such a massive target so he dashed into the mist blind; however, what happened next, was something nobody had expected.

[00:00]

"It has begun." The main commander announced as the timer in front of them had finally hit zero and now the beast was in full control of their bodies again.

'I can't believe that boy was able to figure out why the beast wasn't moving so quickly even though we only gave them a three-minute head start. He must have a really strong perceptive or optical skill that allowed him to observe the microscopic controller we had planted on those advanced-tier beasts.' The main commander thought.

The holographic screen showed the previous spectacular skills hit the advanced tier beast and then they saw Leon dashing through at top speed with a glowing red hot combat knife in his hands only to...

************

Leon emerged from the other side of the mist with his red hot blade extended out without hitting anything.

The Beetle King had disappeared!

Just as Leon escaped from the b=mist, the second Beetle King let out a massive roar as it began charging a giant ball of lightning to hurl at the group all the while the 20 or so Terra beetles began advancing forward to attack them.

Similarly, as soon as Leon exited the mist, he was greeted by several Terra Beetles ready to eat his face off. Luckily with his red hot blade extended out, Leon was able to defend himself and retreat back to the group.

The group themselves was busy dealing with 20 or so High tier terra beetles that were rushing them and now 20 more had joined the party alongside Leon. Things were looking bad as the second Terra Beetle King had almost charged up the lightning ball attack completely.

The group was caught in the middle of it all and even though they thought that things couldn't get any worse and that this was going to be so difficult to defend, Bill suddenly dropped another bombshell on the group as he made a shocking discovery.

"Guys! That first giant beetle beast isn't dead! It dug itself underground just before Leon could stab it and is now moving toward us from underground! Brace Yourself!" Bill announced.
