Chapter 443 Assessment Over, Tianyuan Defense Zone (4K)
Compared to the Rakshasa's assessment task, Uta's task was not so circuitous.
His task was to scout outdoors, to investigate the detailed circumstances of a certain area, and to determine whether a Monster Overlord truly existed.
Such a task seemed not difficult, but in reality, it was even more dangerous.
Venturing into the wilderness surrounded by Monster power, no one could predict what they would encounter.
Uta set out with a squad of troops.
After ten hours.
"Boom—"
The Monster Tide surged from afar, charging directly at the squad led by Uta.
Gazing at it, Uta thought for three seconds but failed to come up with a plan, and so he charged straight into the Monster Tide like a colossal whale crashing into the waves, smashing the monstrous surge to pieces.
Twelve hours later.
Uta encountered a second assault by a Monster Tide, with flying creatures attacking from all directions.
Again, he shattered the tide, but the accompanying troops suffered quite a few injuries.
Fourteen hours later.
"Where should I start looking for clues of the Monster Overlord?"
Uta scratched his head, the task mentioned that there might be an Overlord Power related to the Frost Goblin in this area, and he was to bring back relevant clues, evidence materials to prove his findings.
What was he supposed to do?
Uta devoted 10% of his energy to swinging his fists and channeled 90% into thinking.
He couldn't think of an answer, but the Monster Tide in front of him had almost dissipated.
At this moment,
Uta snapped back from his thoughts, realizing his legs were bound. A chilling cold surged up from the depths of the earth, with ice creeping up his calves, visibly spreading coldness all around. The blood flowing from the monster corpses, the surrounding wind, the particles of elements subtly flickering in the realm... seemed to all freeze over.
Yet this cold didn't bother him, he hardly noticed it for quite a while.
Just as Uta thought to break free, a hunched figure glowing ice-blue darted out from the Monster Tide, with two ice blades gleaming with a cold, harsh light.
Several hours earlier.
"It's a human scout."

"This scout seems to be alone."
"This old man has already confirmed it, there are no human ambushes in this area."
"Let's make our move then, this human is swaggering around so brazenly, it's the first time this king has ever seen such a sight."
...
The two ice blades slashed down.
"Crack~"
The ice blades broke.
The ice blades that struck the pitch-black armor were as fragile as sculpted ice, fracturing upon touching the Combat Will Armament.
The Goblin Legend wielding the blades instinctively stiffened.
Uta no longer tried to free himself from the ice, his body erupted with strands of burning vital blood flames. Facing the Goblin close at hand, he couldn't help but throw a punch.
Dragon Force·Combat Will·Serious Punch!
The berserk punch tore through the air, bringing a shrill whistling that seemed to tear the Azure Sky apart, with the burly human suddenly emanating a terrifying oppressive force.
The Legendary Goblin only felt as if he were facing a Giant Dragon, its majestic and indifferent golden eyes looking down on him.
I'm going to die.
I'm going to die!
The Goblin protected himself with the two broken blades, his Domain of extreme cold continuously shrinking, attempting to form a barrier that could reduce the enemy's strength.
However, this intangible and formless Domain of extreme cold, which in theory should only collide with another Domain, seemed like a water droplet being squeezed inward when Uta's punch struck.
The endless chill receded inward, and the visible coldness condensed into crystals then shattered in the next instant.
Amongst the shattered ice, the black-armored fist continued unabated, first smashing the broken blades, then bombarding the blue body of the Monster Legend Goblin.
Its upper body caved in, pierced through the back, the whole body exploded outward from the center.
By then, the muffled "thud" had only just begun to echo, with green and red blood spattering around and icing the ground with sharp spikes.
Uta retracted his fist, standing still.
He felt very satisfied with the exhilarating punch.
The positioning of the Monster Legend was too direct; it was inappropriate for him not to smash a target so squarely with a punch.
After being pleased for half a moment, Uta thought to himself, "That's bad."
In front of him, the Frost Goblin didn't leave even a scrap of its body; he had made his attack too thorough.
He was greatly annoyed.
Then, in the next moment, Uta revealed a look of joy.
A Domain descended from the Azure Sky above, a realm of ice crystals stretched across the sky like a massive mountain bearing down.
The attacking Monster Legend in the sky showed a look of astonishment but didn't hesitate, instead attacking with even more ferocity and decisiveness.
One from above.
One from below.
There were a total of three Monster Overlords attacking, none of them weak.
The Domain of ice crystals above spanned an almost four-thousand-meter radius.
Only, the Frost Legend had died too swiftly.
This unknown human, not recorded in their ranks, was a top-level Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouse!
He mustn't be allowed to live!
Take this chance!
"Boom—"
Ice crystals from the sky began to collapse.
The earth transformed into an ice lake.
Amidst the spreading dust, Uta, cloaked in black armor, slowly walked out.
On his body...Nôv(el)B\\jnn
There wasn't a scratch.
"My turn."
Step!
The soundwaves burst forth, the golden image of a Giant Dragon pierced through the Azure Sky.
The Monster Overlord in the sky was sent flying backward, hurtling down.
Step~!
Uta's body steamed with vigor, returning to his original spot. His eyes focused on the ground below, he took a slight breath and then threw punch after punch.
Boom boom boom boom—!
"Roar roar roar roar!!"
The earth split apart, broken earth blocks flew up, and just as the ice crystals began to rise in the air, they turned to dust under the onslaught of the furious punches.
