Chapter 1582: Huan and the Creature(8)
The Huan in the experience area remained calm, unlike the consciousness. He patiently waited for the group to arrive in his range.
The group of people also seemed to be aware of the skill, so they stopped just outside the radius of the domain. The leader then sneered and pointed at one of his men to do something.
Following the leader's order, the man nodded, and the next moment, a bow shining like a sun appeared in his hands. He then took out an arrow from nowhere, nocked it into the bow, and released the shot.
Whoosh!
The arrow flew, tearing through the sky, and its direction was the sky. Once it reached the required range, the sun-like spherical arrowhead exploded, and a shower of light occurred. The next moment, the lights formed a spherical barrier around Huan and the group.
The leader nodded and then raised his feet, finally stepping into the range of the domain.
Huan had been waiting for that moment, so he immediately activated [Terror Dominion].
Hua! Hua!
Out of nowhere, the creatures that had been roaming in the environment and had been appearing and disappearing at random intervals seemed to have received some order.
The next moment, they appeared in the range one after another, and in no time, the number of creatures had surpassed the enemy group.
The leader only sneered when he saw that scene. He then looked into the sky and the core of the barrier surrounding the two sides.
The next moment, a beam of light emerged from that and struck one of the creatures. The creature dissolved into liquid, and not long after, it disappeared completely. It couldn't be any more dead.
For the first time in the entire scene, an expression emerged on Huan's face, and when the group saw that expression, they felt a chill crawling down their spines.
An evil smile spread across his face as he pointed at one of the creatures with the head of a horse but the teeth of a wolf and the tongue of a snake.
The next moment, the environment seemed to have woken up, and an energy storm occurred right above the creature's head.
Chhis! Chhis!
The sound of burning continuously rang in the area. The enemy group belonged to the side of positive elements, and the barrier created by the arrow boosted their side while suppressing negative elements.
Huan didn't know that the experience of the best skills of an element of their type had a different experience environment than other types. The latter session consisted of a simple session where the user experienced the skill at a full level, depending on its capability. It became an entire battle scene like a movie in the case of the former.
***
At the center of the storm, the creature greedily devoured the energy, and he was growing at a rapid rate. It was the support aspect of the skill. In no time, the creature's mental and physical defenses grew to an unprecedented level.
Huan then ordered the creature to attack.
Roar!
A roar that only rang in consciousness rang in the enemy group's heads, and they froze for a moment. The creature didn't let go of that moment and immediately rushed to their side, tearing the group apart in no time.
The leader, who seemed to have seen a grand victory for his side, was the one to receive the worst treatment.
Huan and the creature's consciousness stood frozen in shock as the battle ended immediately after starting. But before the emotions could last, the core of the barrier turned crazy.
Without a user to control it, the energy became uncontrollable. The next moment, several beams of energy appeared and struck the eldritch creatures.
With a simple touch of energy, the creatures started to dissolve. Only the enhanced being was able to put up a fight, but even it couldn't stand for long and soon died.
A few seconds later, only Huan was left in the area, with the barrier still going wild. The beams seemed to be alive, as they never targeted empty air but always someone.
Since Huan was the last one left, he automatically became a target. Not only a simple target but whatever remained of the energy poured out in the ultimate attack.
Huan had a cold expression on his face as he once again activated [Dominion Boost]. The next moment, the area rioted again, and that time, he was the source of the storm.
'The consciousness Huan' became surprised. According to the details on the skill card, the support aspect only mentioned allies, and nowhere mentioned anything about it boosting the user as well.
Huan didn't know that what he was seeing was the transcended level of mastery of the skill. Transcended mastery was the level beyond the level where the user had mastered a skill to its perfect condition and could unleash 100% of its power. It was one of the benefits to the chosen customer, as they could see that skill could be mastered beyond perfection and a hint of its ability.
The energy storm not only enhanced Huan but also affected the attack unleashed by the last of the barrier. The dark energy was slowly feeding into the attack, but its purity was such that more than 99.999999999% of energy burned to nothingness instantly after touching the white light.

Huan's eyes were shining as he returned to the store. The creature had the same reaction. Defeating the uncontrollable attack wasn't the end of the situation. After that, the world rioted against Huan for taking too much of its energy.
The last scene of the world exploding was still evident in his eyes. It was another thing that Huan was also devoured by the energy and turned into one of the eldritch creatures and soon died with the world.
The real Huan didn't have to worry about that since, due to the creature, he was immune to the influence of the dark energy, so even if he were to unleash that ultimate [Horror Assault], he wouldn't be devoured by the energy and would remain sane without too much pollution.
[Skill: Terror Dominion
Level: God
Cultivator: Early to Peak Supreme God
Elemental Compatibility: Horror: 100%, Fear: 100%, Paranoia: 93%
Skill Compatibility: 92%
Training Time: Three hundred seventeen years.
Note: The time to surpass the perfection mastery will range between three hundred thousand years to eight million years.]
He then focused on the content that had appeared on the screen after his consciousness returned. All the confidence and excitement he had accumulated in his heart disappeared as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him.
If others were to be able to see the data on the screen, they would freak out seeing the elemental compatibility and the training time. Taking three hundred years to master a skill of that caliber was an absolutely monstrous talent.
Huan and the creature didn't feel the same. After experiencing how the skill looked after its mastery level surpassed perfection, simple mastery to that level was no longer exciting to them.
Even if Huan were to tick all the boxes, it would still take him three hundred thousand years just to surpass the perfection mastery, and the last attack was something that could only be done after being well versed in the transcendent level of skill mastery. Huan couldn't even imagine how long it would take him to achieve that scene.
"What a shit talent!"
The creature suddenly scoffed. The elemental compatibility was so high, but it would still take hundreds of thousands of years, meaning the comprehension skill was lacking compared to the elemental talent.
Huan immediately flew out in rage but soon calmed down, having no words to retort back at the creature. It wasn't lying about his talent. Without the creature, his talent was only average compared to others in the Sacred Dimension, and that was when the comparison was with average races only.
The creature sneered, seeing the changes in Huan, but it didn't continue anymore since insulting Huan was only insulting itself. He then returned his focus to the semi-pillar.
Huan replaced the card with the attacking skill. Immediately after, his consciousness left the store and entered the experience area.
No matter how long the experience lasted, only one moment passed in reality, so the next second, his consciousness returned to the store. He noticed the difference between the two experience sessions.
The content on the screen further proved that. There was no note talking about transcendent skill mastery or how long it would take.
He didn't worry too much about it and immediately understood why there was such a situation since the only difference between the two skills was that one had a note from the store while the other didn't.
***
After experiencing all five skills, Huan walked out of the room to complete the purchase. He saw a line of several customers, so he also joined it and waited for his turn.
