595 Primordial Sword Immortal (1/2)

A Companion Beast named Deep Frost Behemoth appeared on the screen of the cubes. It looked like a giant octopus. It was ice-blue in color, and its position was on a platform above a huge cube. The cube's surroundings were empty, making it look nothing like a city.

On the right side of the screen, a ranking appeared. Rank 16's Frost Giant's name kept flashing as an alarm rung.

Behind the Frost Giant's name was a 72-hour countdown. People guessed that this was the time given to the owner of Frost Giant to consider accepting the challenge. If the countdown ended and the owner hadn't accepted the challenge, it would probably be determined as a loss.

Everyone was discussing if Frost Giant would accept the challenge, but this question quickly had an answer. The alarm stopped and Frost Giant's name was completely lit up. Then, the ranking vanished. Frost Giant also appeared on the cube where the Deep Frost Behemoth was. They stared at each other.

Frost Giant was covered in ice-blue skin. Its head, shoulder, waist, and other parts were covered in frost metal armor. It also had an iron ax in its hand.

Although Frost Giant was huge, it appeared a little shorter in front of the Deep Frost Behemoth.

With a roar, Frost Giant's ax slashed at the Deep Frost Behemoth. After all, they were all Companion Beasts, so there wasn't any need for unnecessary communication.

Frost powers tore out of the ax, forming a huge ice streak that spread to the Deep Frost Behemoth.

The tentacles of the Deep Frost Behemoth danced, producing frost as they shattered the ice streaks.

The two gigantic monsters clashed intensely on the cube's platform. As they were both frost-type Companion Beasts and strength-based, the intense battle between the two terrifying Mythical Companion Beasts sent frost shards flying everywhere, like fireworks formed from frost.

The two Companion Beasts were evenly matched as they used various frost-elemental skills. However, both parties had high resistance against the cold. Their bodies were extremely tough, so they were only slightly injured. Neither of them could do a thing to the other.

The Deep Frost Behemoth finally couldn't help but take the initiative to launch an attack. The huge tentacles on its body were raised as dark-blue suction cups lit up. Rays of freezing light shot out from them towards Frost Giant.

Frost Giant didn't give in either. He raised his ax over his head and cleaved down. The ice-like power roared out like an ice river and collided with the Deep Frost Behemoth's ice beams.

”Who won?” The spectators were puzzled.

Now, the two Mythical creatures were frozen in ice, making it difficult to determine the victor.

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the ice. A moment later, the huge ice block shattered and Frost Giant broke out. He held the ax in his hand and roared as he slashed at the Deep Frost Behemoth.

Just as everyone reeled in excitement and thought that they were about to see the scene of a Mythical Companion Beast being killed, the Deep Frost Behemoth's body suddenly transformed into a stream of light and vanished. It seemed to have teleported away from the cube platform.

The first Companion Beast challenge ended in failure. Deep Frost Behemoth failed to win over the ranking, but this battle made many people discover something.

It turned out that the challenge didn't have to be fought to the end. One could even admit defeat and withdraw. This gave a variety of ideas to people.
