Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

Mira spun on her heels, eyes wide with a mixture of shock and frustration.

"Alex, what the hell!? I was just about to take it down!" she hissed, her voice an itchy growl.

Her breath came fast as the adrenaline surged through her, looking at the beast that had now awakened.

"Look! You took away my element of surprise!"

Alex skidded to a stop just in front of her, his breath ragged, but there was no time for explanations.

His eyes darted from the massive creature to Mira, his body tense with urgency.

"Listen to me!" he snapped, grabbing her by the shoulders.

"We need to get out of here now. Trust me Mira. This is no Ordinary beast!"

Her brow furrowed in confusion.

"What are you talking about? It’s right there — exposed and vulnerable. I could’ve—"

"No, you couldn’t." His voice was a strained whisper, his eyes frantic.

"Something’s wrong. Really wrong. This thing — we’ve been deceived by our own delusions. It’s not what we think it is!"

The beast stirred in the clearing, a low, menacing growl rumbling through the ground beneath their feet.

Mira’s gaze flicked toit for a split second, still hesitant to give up on such a fight.

"Alex, you’re not making any sense!"

"I don’t have time to explain!" His grip tightened on her shoulders as his voice dropped to a desperate whisper. "Mira, please. Enter the Void dimension. Just trust me on this. Now."

Mira’s eyes narrowed, her stubborn thoughts warring with the concern in Alex’s tone. Discover exclusive content at NovelBin.Côm

She could tell from the fear in his eyes — something rare, almost unheard of from him.

Alex was always calm, always calculating.

But now, he looked… scared.

Her heart pounded in her chest, torn between her instincts and the trust she had in him.

She opened her mouth to protest, but the beast behind them let out a deep, guttural roar.

The air vibrated with the force of it, and the forest seemed to darken as the creature’s eyes snapped open, glowing with an eerie, unnatural light.

It was fully awake now.

"Mira!" Alex’s voice cracked with urgency. "Void! Now!"

"But what about you!"

By now Mira had put her conflicting thoughts to the side and had decided to put her trust in Alex’s words, but that only made her worried about him now.

She could enter the Void dimension, but what could he do!?

Regardless, there was no time for internal debate.

Her instincts fully kicked in. She stepped back, her eyes locking onto Alex’s for a second, and then she gave a sharp but almost overwhelmingly anxious nod.

Without another word, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and in an instant, her form flickered and vanished into the Void dimension.

The moment she disappeared, Alex let out a breath of relief. But that was just one problem out of many that had been solved now.

The beast in the clearing slowly rose to its full, terrifying height, its massive form towering over the treetops.

Its scales shimmered with a dark, ominous energy that pulsed like a heartbeat, and its eyes — cold and predatory — focused directly on Alex.

And then, it hit him.

His instincts had been right.

The beast let out its aura for the first time, and Alex couldn’t help but feel his skin crawl.

This wasn’t just any Variant class beast. It was something far worse.

It was a C- rank like Alex, but there was another element to it that terrified Alex and sent shivers down his spine.

"King class!"

Alex’s heart pounded in his chest as he faced the beast, the words ’King class’ still echoing in his mind.

His muscles tensed, every instinct screaming at him to run, but he knew there was nowhere to go.

The dense forest loomed around him, and the sheer emptiness of the entire surrounding few kilometres made it so the beast could almost easily find him.

Not to mention the fact that it could probably catch up to him, even if he went full speed.

He was trapped, and there was only one way through.

The beast’s aura pressed down on him, like a million tonnes on his shoulders, its dark energy wrapping around the clearing like a suffocating fog.

Alex gritted his teeth, feeling the oppressive force of the creature’s presence.

This was unlike anything he had ever faced before.

A Variant class beast was already deadly and tough to deal with, but a King class?

That was an entirely different level.

It wasn’t just strength, it was intelligence, cunning, and raw, terrifying power.

How was he, still a Mutant class, supposed to take on a beast two classes ahead of himself!?

Whether he liked it or not, it was time for Alex to find out whether his talent really was the strongest or not.

’Let’s hope those soul orbs gave me enough of a boost in strength to deal with a beast of this calibre…’

His only hope lay in his own strength and his track record with dealing with beasts of higher strength than his own.

But even still, he had absolutely zero confidence in himself this time around.

[The King of Evermoor, huh. I didn’t expect you to encounter a King class beast so early.]

The System itself even chimed in at this moment, adding its own surprise in the mix.

But it didn’t offer anything to help.

’Fuck!’

Alex couldn’t keep waiting any longer, as the King of Evermoor suddenly made its first move!

The King of Evermore lifted its scaly claws and swiped them in Alex’s direction.

Alex’s sense of danger exploded as he did his utmost to dodge with his teleportation.

Where he was standing just a few moments ago had now been reduced to a shredded wasteland of trees, dirt and rock.

And it only carried on for tens upon tens of kilometres…

’Shit! That attack was too fast for me to react with just my agility alone!’

Immediately, things started looking drastically bad for Alex.

If the thing could attack that fast every time, Alex wouldn’t be able to last long in this battle at all…
