Level 1 to Apex: My Monster Templates Defy Reality!
Chapter 45: Fight between the eras

Chapter 45: Fight between the eras

The red template card disappeared from his hand.

He then picked the white template card with a rabbit on it.

[Creature Template: White Horn Rabbit

Description: A common rabbit that populated both grasslands and forests. Quick on their feet, but easy to kill once caught.

-> Stats exchange:

AGI -> +10%.

STA-> +20%

VIT-> -20%

DEF-> -20%.

-> Skill: none.

]

He just took a quick look at the stats change.

In the stat point exchange, both of the template cards he was going with were good with stamina and agility.

They both took a hit on defense.

In that sense, he was going with the same kind of monster—too bad he didn’t have any other option.

He checked his status. After making sure the Dire Wolf was in the first slot and the White Horn Rabbit in the second, he tapped on the close button at the bottom.

Another red notification popped up in front of him.

[Warning: Less than 1 minute left. (52... 43... 37...)]

He glanced at his stat distribution and decided to hold it.

In human form, he didn’t need the support from those extra stats in this beginner village. His monster forms were a different story.

It would be better to save them in case of an emergency, though with so many elites already dead, he doubted anyone could push him to that point.

His smugness was short-lived as a bright light engulfed him.

The next moment, he found himself surrounded by massive trees.

Ding!

[The baby Nyxthar opened his eye for the first time.]

Ding!

[The world of Apex senses the birth of an ancient calamity.]

The next moment, Forsyx saw the bright sky begin to darken. A moment ago, the sky was clear—now it was full of dark clouds.

Crak!! Crak!!

Two massive lightning bolts fell on top of the two trees beside him.

Forsyx felt his body expanding.

He had just tripled in size within seconds.

His clothes disappeared as hair started sprouting all over his body.

His mouth began to become pointed, like someone was pulling his face by the nose.

Large nails burst out from his palms and feet. He felt a prickling sensation at the base of his spine—his tail was forming.

His ears began to shift up his head. He sensed a different world around him. The world from the sense of a canine.

The very first thing he noticed was the charred smell of the recently struck trees.

With one sniff, he could tell there were dozens of trees scorched throughout the forest.

From deep within the woods, he heard hundreds of canines howling and barking.

Ding!

[Etching the forgotten words upon the body.]

He saw hundreds of small golden letters floating around him, and the next moment, all of them began falling onto his thick back coat.

[The golden mark of Nyxthar is making chaotic changes to the beast. The enhancement to the chaotic variant in the process...]

Forsyx noticed that as the letters began falling onto him, his coat started getting thicker.

It even shifted from dark black to gray.

He felt the bones throughout his body growing in size again.

He went from around 1.5 meters to 2 meters tall, surpassing even his human form.

Ding!

[Due to the presence of the ancient mark, the Dire Wolf matured to its adult state and transformed into the Darkness variant of the Dire wolf, the elder Dire wolf, the ruler of the darkness.]

Ding!

[All stats increased by 30%.]

Forsyx smiled as he felt the extra power coursing through his body.

He had been waiting for this boost.

It was exactly what he needed to go up against the world.

He looked up at the sky and was about to howl when another notification popped up.

Ding!

[An unborn child linked to the past is detected!! The blood core of the Beast of the Red Sea has begun purifying the bloodline.]

Forsyx felt heat building inside his chest.

Before he could make sense of it, another notification appeared.

Ding!

[The golden mark of Nythrax detects the crimson blood core. The forgotten powers from different eras are beginning to consume each other.]

The golden letters began to glow again. This time, they started going deeper into his body.

He felt like hundreds of hot needles were stabbing him from all sides.

At that moment, he felt another intense burning sensation from inside his body.

It was like his own body was starting to melt him from the inside.

Unable to hold on any longer, he screamed.

Ahoooooooooo!

Blood started pouring out from all his orifices.

Ding!

[Internal bleeding detected.]

-2 -3 -4 -2 -4 -1 -5 -2...

The string of red damage numbers blurred his vision.

He screamed again, this time in pain mixed with confusion.

Ahhhoooo!

He didn’t even understand what the hell was happening to him.

’Am I going to die? What about his rabbit form?’ No, he couldn’t die. Not like this.

He opened his player status and started pouring stat points into his Vitality.

Each point in Vitality gave him 20 extra health points.

Even through the pain, he just stared at his health bar.

Every time it dropped below 20, he added another point to Vitality.

There was nothing but pain... and the relentless addition of vitality points.

Not caring about the future, he ruthlessly dumped one stat point after another into his vitality.

All he wanted right now was to survive. Survive until one power wins over the others.

He tapped on the vitality to assign his 20th unspent stat point.

At this point, it felt like he was only prolonging his misery.

Right then, another notification popped up in front of him.

Ding!

[Neither power can erase the other.]

Ding!

[Both powers have started to synchronize. They’ve stopped resisting each other.]

Forsyx smiled, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.

His massive, majestic form shriveled into a skinny mess.

He looked like a beast ravaged by some terminal illness, on the verge of collapsing.

Ding!

[The golden mark of Nyxthar has begun repairing the body.]

[The Crimson Blood Core has resumed refining the blood, causing further maturity to the bloodline .]

He coughed blood again... then smiled.

A new beast was about to emerge.
