Chapter 690 Baptism of Battle
Soon, under the unrelenting efforts of Paragon, Nyx, and Sira, they finally defeated the tier 12 dark beasts one after another.
As for the other dark beasts, the talents who had escaped earlier returned to help.
Although they feared the special dark beast earlier, they also had their pride and confidence.
If Paragon had not said they must escape, they might have fought the special dark beast until their death.
Now, with a chance to redeem themselves, they returned, killing all the dark beasts they saw.
While they were on a killing spree, Maximus slowly healed the three, too exhausted to even open their eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you spent? It's only a single tier 12 dark beast," Maximus joked.
"You!"
"We… we can still fight for a few rounds!"
"Come, how about we spar?"
Being provoked, the three couldn't help but look at Maximus in anger.
As an Overlord, how could a tier 11 Absolute call them weaklings?
"You still lack training! How could you become so tired after one battle?" Maximus shook his head.
These Overlords were becoming too comfortable on their pedestal.
If they were more enterprising, maybe they could fight a tier 13 dark beast and end the dark disaster before it started.
Too tired to speak, they no longer bothered to answer Maximus.
Among the Absolutes, only one had the same achievement of killing a dark beast at a high tier—Marcus.
That freak of nature was stronger than Maximus and Zar.
With a record of killing over a hundred tier 12 dark beasts, he even fought three tier 12 dark beasts simultaneously without losing.
Even for them, fighting such a number of tier 12 dark beasts would have left them injured.
However, with his pure guts and fighting will, this guy killed all three tier 12 dark beasts like an Overlord.
Meanwhile, seeing they were so listless, Maximus could only watch as his family continued to be beaten.
Fighting two tier 12 dark beasts simultaneously, it was already good enough that they could hold them back.
As for killing them, with their current abilities, it was impossible.
However, as the fight continued, their fighting ability broke through the ultimate one after another.
Under the test of fire, their ability was fully brought out, flourishing under the ravages of death.
With their control becoming more sophisticated, their path of law also began to increase, rapidly rising against the tide.
"A little more, and they could advance to Absolute!" Maximus thought in excitement.
With ultimate fighting mastery, they could beat these tier 12 dark beasts to pieces. What more when they advanced to the Absolute of Law?
Eagerly watching the fight, there was no longer worry in his eyes.
Maximus even wished there were more tier 12 dark beasts to temper his family.
Unfortunately, after they all advanced to ultimate fighting mastery, the tier 12 dark beasts knelt under the pressure and died.
"Huh~ Finally killed!"
"W-we killed a tier 12 dark beast?!"
"Did we become so strong?"
Even after feeling the pain and injuries in their bodies, they still couldn't believe they had just killed a tier 12 dark beast.
Although it didn't have much fighting ability, skill, or treasure, it was still a monster comparable to an Overlord.
Feeling doubt and disbelief, they stayed motionless in the void, digesting what had happened. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
"No need to doubt yourselves. You killed those dark beasts because of your strength and will," Maximus said, waking them up from their daze.
"We… killed it?"
"Hmm, didn't I say? You are my family, the people that I can trust and rely on."
Finally, after his comfort and enlightenment, they got out of doubt, looking at the battlefield in excitement.
Defeating a tier 12 dark beast with their own two hands, they proved that they had ascended to the top of the Aeon Plane.
They proved that they were no longer the weaklings they once were.
They were already warriors who could transcend all storms and, more importantly, someone who could be entrusted.
"Let's return home. It's been a long journey…"

Meanwhile, while Maximus and the others returned to the Aeon Plane,
The dark beast wave in the dark void domain had stopped.
The carnage of battle, the mindless invasion of the dark beasts, had finally stopped.
Holding the fort, the Overlords and the Absolutes slumped, floating tirelessly in the void.
"What happened this time? Do any of you know anything?" Elvian asked, staring out in a daze.
"Could it be Maximus…?"
"It's not." Before Ascelon finished his statement, Sira quickly denied it.
"Hmm? Then what's the cause of such a sudden dark beast wave?"
"It's the special dark beast…"
Soon, Sira began to recount what had happened in the outer barrier of the Aeon Plane.
From the talents being displaced in the chaotic void, a few talents with the seed of law being devoured, Paragon's uniqueness, Zar's unstoppable strength, Maximus' invincible strength, and finally, the Shadowcrest family's potential.
"This—"
Hearing these bits of information, they were shocked to the core.
Just the special dark beast alone gave them newfound fear.
If Zar and Maximus had not taken over the scene, the Aeon Plane might have already been on the verge of destruction.
There was also Paragon's weirdness.
When did that brat become so strong that he could kill a tier 12 Overlord alone?
Did he manage to get a plane-level treasure or something?
Furthermore, what was going on with the Shadowcrest family? All of them were too strong—it was unbelievable.
A whole family with an origin-grade physique, ultimate training manual, a supreme entity of law, the seed of law, and ultimate fighting mastery!
How could such a freakish family exist? Were they still living in the Aeon Plane, or were they on their last breath, dreaming of such impossibilities?
"How could you know all of this?" Frir suddenly asked, looking at Sira in puzzlement.
"It's my clone. I decided to rebuild it in case of an emergency," Sira admitted openly.
Now that her clone had reached the tier 11 realm and set an ultimate foundation, she no longer worried about these Overlords' covetousness.
Isn't it just a clone of an Absolute? It's not like it's another Overlord.
"You have a good idea!" They looked at Sira with envy.
Creating her escape path, Sira didn't even invite them in.
"I'm not alone. Even Nyx was in on it."
"You!"
"Good! Good! You two are too insidious!"
"Those representatives… it's your clone, isn't it?!"
Arguing over who took advantage and didn't, they quickly forgot about the current event.
Too much information—even for an Overlord, it was overwhelming to digest instantly.
Bickering with each other, they felt their mood begin to lighten.
