Chapter 137 The Light In The Dark
[Barbarian Champion - Berserker Magma Form Tier 2]
[The Berserker Magma Form is a formidable combination of the Berserker's strength and the destructive power of magma. With this skill, the user is granted increased physical strength and the ability to control and manipulate magma, enabling them to launch powerful attacks. Furthermore, this skill grants the user improved resistance to fire-based attacks and enhanced durability, making them virtually indestructible.
The user is able to form and manipulate molten rock, a combination of molten, semi-molten rock, gaseous substances, and solidified substances. This can be done both underground and on the surface, with the molten rock referred to as magma and lava, respectively. Furthermore, the user can generate and shoot out lava, either from their own body or from the Earth itself.
The user has the ability to combine molten rock with their martial prowess, allowing them to cause immense harm with physical attacks such as punches, kicks, or weapons. These attacks typically deal intense heat damage instantly, though it can take longer for some techniques to take effect due to the thick consistency of magma.]
[Level 5: Provide a 40% boost in fire resistance, as well as increase the efficiency of magma-based skills by 30%. Furthermore, decreases stamina depletion by 30% and also induces 20% elemental magma damage to every attack.]
Nathan's new skill, resulting from upgrading his Berserker Form to Tier 2 and combining it with a Magma Psychology skill, has transformed him into a living Magma creature. His breath was magma, and magma flowed through his veins, making him an unstoppable force in battle with incredible fighting potential.
Nathan felt his heart pounding rapidly, his body radiating with hot energy. It was an unusual feeling, but with his newly acquired berserker form, he had access to the magma within the crescent moon dimension, allowing him to control it from outside of the pocket dimension.
Nathan's resistance to fire has been greatly enhanced by this skill, allowing him to withstand the devastating effects of magma and fire while in his berserker form. In addition, he can create various magma-based abilities, which will be even more powerful due to this skill.
What was even more impressive, was that his Stamina depletion was reduced by 30%, making him more efficient in combat.
The most impressive aspect, however, was that he can now use magma as an element in all of his attacks, exponentially increasing his battle prowess.
"Silver! Night!" he exclaimed, and two Golems appeared beside him.
Silver nodded and then dashed forward, swiftly followed by Night. Night charged straight ahead, swinging its greatsword to destroy anything in his path.
"Lightning Step!" Nathan shouted, his body glowing with a dazzling display of lightning and flames as he blitzed forward, moving faster than lightning.
[You've killed Frost Ogre Lv. 85]
[You received 4,484 experience]
A large ogre with a body made of ice and snow.
Fang, surrounded by a throng of monsters, was constantly emerging from the ground and attacking with its powerful claws and jaws. It would then disappear and suddenly reappear on the opposite side, pouncing on multiple monsters with its massive maw.
[You've killed Snow Centaur Lv. 75]
[You received 2,166 experience]
A large creature with the body of a horse and the head of a human, made of snow and ice.
Night slammed its immense greatsword into the horde of monsters, sending several of them flying away. It continued swinging and thrusting the wild blade forward, then leaped in the air and drove it into the ground with a powerful strike that made it seem like a devastating attack had been unleashed.
The sound of the crash and monstrous screams echoed through the air as if a wild party was taking place. However, the fierce power of Nathan and his army was enough to make up for the hundreds of hunters that had once filled the area.
What was occurring was an incredible sight to behold; Nathan alone had such a strong influence with every skill he possessed.
[You've killed Ice Giant Lv. 81]
[You received 3,651 experience]
A massive humanoid with a body made of ice and snow.
Meanwhile, Silver, armed with a shield and sword, had much greater agility and fighting prowess that was a sight to behold. It could expertly utilize the force of its shield and the thrust of its sword. It lunged forward with its shield, causing the monster to stumble, then quickly slashed its sword and created a deep gash, leaving the monster immobilized.
[You've killed Snow Panther Lv. 72]
[You received 1,445 experience]
That was a large cat with white fur and icy blue eyes.
Nathan let out a cry of "Thundercloud!" as he began to pummel the horde of monsters before him with great force.
A brilliant bolt of lightning from the sky descended and spread across the sky, instantly signaling the start of the battle for Nathan. He acted quickly, shooting like a bolt of lightning into the oncoming horde of monsters. He then stored the lightning energy in the bracelet clasped in his hand.
Nathan needed to hone his skill in order to deal a devastating amount of damage to the daunting monster hydra he was about to confront. He rapidly swung his two swords, cutting through the icy and snowy bodies of his adversaries, who possessed the elemental power of ice.

The Book of Darkness, hovering ominously near Nathan, unleashed a powerful shock wave of dark energy, causing the monsters around him to stumble and some to even topple over one another.
The grimoire seemed to be an automatic weapon for him, dealing moderate damage in multiple directions and providing him with a useful form of support.

Nathan had already accumulated 72 stat points, and he realized that he had been procrastinating in deciding how to spend them. "Okay," he thought, "I've waited long enough; it's time to allocate these stat points."

Nathan switched to sharing vision mode with Geen's eyes, which were hovering in the sky, allowing him to observe what was unfolding in the distance. It was then that he saw the nine-headed hydra monster preparing to fire nine massive energy blasts. Nathan realized he had to act fast, so he rushed to retrieve Fang.
"Fang!" Nathan yelled in alarm, then he hopped onto the back of Fang, and their bodies dropped to the ground.
Cloaked in an invisible veil of shadows, Fang galloped swiftly across the terrain, arriving at the perfect spot for Nathan to launch his offensive within seconds. He leaped off Fang's back and readied his Lightning Thief Bracelet in preparation for battle.
Nathan's wrist erupted in a tremendous explosion, sending a streak of lightning shooting from his hand. The colossal hydra monster, which had been towering in front of him, was struck with a colossal bolt of lightning from the sky.
A deafening roar of thunder and lightning echoed through the air, followed by the monstrous hydra's horrible screech before it violently crashed to the ground, causing tremors that sent dirt, ice, and timber debris scattering across the area.
At a time when everyone was losing their enthusiasm and hope, they were all forced to accept that death was on its way. However, something miraculous happened.
Nathan, with his powerful presence, reinvigorated everyone, and hope was restored.
Shouts of "Nathan!" and "Nathan is coming!" filled the air, and the cries of hope and excitement were just as loud as the howls of the hundreds of monsters in the pocket dimension.
