My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy-Chapter 373: The Nyxir

Just when they were just uncovering and making theories about the werewolves while walking to where the beast was said to be, it suddenly found them on its own as a huge fog draped their views and then a loud shriek was heard.

Then from far away, they could hear loud thumping footsteps heading for them and everybody took a stance immediately baiting their breaths waiting for whatever was coming out of the fog.

"Were we close to where the beast was?" Jake asked as he held his sword tightly waiting for whatever was to come.

"According to my calculations, we are at least 30 metres away from it." Bane said.

"Which means it found us on its own." Rex replied.

"Everybody! Take positions! Archers, you know where you are to stay. Damage dealers, over here!" Rivock ordered and everybody got to work with General Paul, Alex, Gray, Greig, Jack, Jay and Raze walking over with their different swords in hand.

The thumping sound was becoming louder and louder as whatever was coming was approaching them faster.

"Is it a mountain that's moving?" Alex asked as he held his giant sword tighter.

That was when, a deathly silence spread through the air, thick and suffocating, as the temperature plummeted. Frost spiderwebbed across the ground, creeping up boots and armor, biting into flesh like unseen fangs. Then, from within the swirling fog, a shadow emerged—a hulking, nightmarish figure, its very presence distorting the world around it.

The beast stepped forward, its colossal form parting the mist, revealing a monstrous body forged from ice, bone, and something darker—something unnatural. Its towering frame was draped in jagged icicle spines that jutted out from its back like frozen lances, glistening with a pale, otherworldly light. Each step it took sent tremors through the frozen earth, the very air twisting and warping in its presence, as if reality itself struggled to contain its existence.

Its face was a mask of terror—an elongated, lupine skull encased in translucent ice, through which eerie, ghostly blue flames burned like trapped souls. Rows of serrated fangs lined its maw, each exhale releasing a dense mist that sapped warmth from the surroundings, turning breath into brittle ice upon exhalation.

Six eyes, glowing like frozen stars, stared unblinkingly at the humans, radiating a primal hunger that sent a shiver through even the most battle-hardened warriors. The mere act of looking at the beast made their bodies feel heavier, their movements sluggish, as if the weight of an endless winter was pressing down on them.

The air itself groaned under its presence, as if nature recoiled in horror. Ice formed unnaturally fast, creeping up weapons and fingers, making even the simplest movements feel like wading through a storm of endless frost. The wind howled—not from the weather, but from the beast itself, carrying whispers that clawed at the edges of sanity, urging the weak-willed to kneel before it and succumb to the cold.

Then, it took another step, and the ground shattered beneath its weight.

The beast was no simple foe. It was a calamity—a walking death sentence draped in ice and despair. And it had set its sights on them.

"Okay! It really is a mountain." Alex gulped as visual Qi erupted around his sword.

"Hu…humans!" The beast spoke with its terrifying booming voice that it felt like the ground was shaking along with the hearts of all the people there.

"Right, it's a humanoid beast so it will have a level of intelligence." Jake said.

"What do you want here?" The beast asked.

"We don't feel comfortable talking with beasts and most especially, the ones that will soon fall by our hands." Rex said as he walked forward.

"Oh?! So you came here to kill. Me?!" The beast said.

"I guess you are not dumb." Rex said as he raised his hands and grabbed his shirt and with one swift movement, he tugged at it pulling it off and throwing it to the ground to reveal a set of toned abs and bruised body that hadn't healed yet.

His body looked to be made of stone and carved by a talented stone sculptor.

"Now I know where Alex got his signature move from." Jake chuckled.

"Why do you want to kill me? Beasts… we didn't harm any humans, yet here you are. Why?!" The beast asked.

"Let's just say we need your core because we are in a war. And it will really help us." Bane shrugged as his white lab coat fluttered in the wind.

"War?! Because you are in a pickle, you decide to hunt us to make weapons? We are also lifeforms and have lives to live! Yet, you decided to take lifeforms?

Just because my brethrens can't communicate with you, doesn't mean we aren't sad and annoyed!" The beast roared while Jake took the time to use his inspect skill.

'Oh? So it was the beast making the weather cold huh. And it also triggered a quest too. Usually, a beast as strong as this will trigger a warning from the system but it's telling me to defeat it.

Is it because the big three are we with me? Or is it because the system already deems me strong enough.' Jake thought.

"Feelings? Your brethren always attacks us whenever they see us. They have this annoying killing intent. We are just trying to survive." Rivock said.

"Is that your justification for killing us? Killing intent? You are at war? And you are trying to survive? Fine! You are trying to survive, so am I." The beast said and then all around it, two hundred ice spears appeared with their tips pointed towards the humans.

"Uhm… no one told us this beast had elemental powers!" Jack gulped loudly as the amount of ice spears pointed towards them was a lot.

"I guess it's time we showed you this arrogant beast why we are at the top of the human world." Bane said as he also grabbed his long coat and pulled it away, tossing it to the ground and then right on cue, his hands began changing.

As gears twisted and locked into place as his flesh morphed, the metal plating wrapped around his arms like a mechanical exoskeleton. Steam hissed from the shifting joints as his hands reshaped into twin cannons, the barrels humming with stored energy.

In short, Bane's hands looked like a cannon while all around Rex, a thousand Qi swords appeared with their tips pointed at the beast.

'So that is Bane's power, he turned himself into a part machine. A cyborg of some kind.' Jake thought.

"Just so you know, I'm going all out!" Rex shouted as the thousand Qi swords that covered the whole area spanning for about five metres all flew towards the beast while the two hundred ice spears all shot out towards the humans.
