As half of the varmint's corpse passed through the portal, it scented blood and turned menacingly towards Xavier.

Xavier was in complete panic when the varmint turned to face him with a frightening grin. But, before he could move, the varmint emerged behind him, holding Prince Magnus up and attempting to consume him.

Xavier reacted quickly, using his vector shield to blast the varmint away from the unconscious Prince Magnus.

The varmint, taken aback by the power it got hit by, smiled menacingly at Xavier in delight at his abilities.

The varmint then materialized in front of Xavier, hitting him in the face with incredible force before he could respond. And it fully knocked out Xavier as he flew away from the shock wave caused by the varmint's tremendous raw power.

The Varmint began to walk away from the unconscious Xavier, disappointed because he had thought Xavier would be a good challenge. And it returned to Prince Magnus, attempting to eat him alive.

As Xavier lay there fully unconscious, his cosmic eyes immediately brought him back to consciousness, stunning him with what just happened.

With a black eye from the varmint's blow, Xavier began to contemplate in horror, "When did he even hit me?"

"He moved so fast, I didn't even see him vanish or move from his spot.".

"He is beyond stronger and faster than Prince Magnus," Xavier stated, completely speechless.

Despite understanding that the varmint was well out of his league, Xavier attempted to fight back before it ate Prince Magnus.

But then Xavier realized that the gateway from which the Varmint had emerged began to expand even larger.

At that point, a swarm of Varmits began to emerge from the portal, much like bees in a hive. This left Xavier completely speechless and terrified.

When the varmint realized that Xavier had survived its attack, it dropped Prince Magnus and immediately dashed at him.

It attempted to strike at Xavier, but Xavier was able to survive the hit because his cosmic eyes activated his vector shield just in time to protect him from harm.

The Varmint was astonished to see his hand entirely twisted and distorted, and he wondered how Xavier did it.

The Varmint tried to strike Xavier again with his other hand, but Xavier quickly teleported behind its back and shot numerous air bullets at it.

This did not even leave a scratch on the varmint's skin, which was like a shell of thick armor, completely shocking Xavier.

The Varmint tried to grab Xavier and drag him off its back, but Xavier swiftly teleported away.

Xavier raised his left hand in the air and began to control the air molecules around him, bringing his sword, which was far away, into his left hand.

Now wielding his sword, Xavier stomped on the ground, causing an earthquake that shattered the earth beneath them. And trapping one of the Varmint's legs inside the ground.

Xavier took advantage of the chance by teleporting behind the varmint and attempting to slice off its second leg.

But, to Xavier's complete surprise, his blade did not even cut through the varmint's impenetrable skin, much less leave a scratch.

The Varmint smirked with pride as it noticed Xavier's expression of despair.

Using the leg that Xavier attempted to cut off, the varmint stomped on the ground with immense force, destroying the earth beneath them and shaking the entire forest. And it propelled everything, including Xavier, into the atmosphere.

The Varmint then leaped into the sky, aiming to catch and crush Xavier with its massive palms that were the size of Xavier's entire body.

However, at that moment, Xavier closed his eyes, deactivating his vector barrier. And he began to concentrate intensely, channeling his vector control into his blade. Creating a concentrated cutting power capable of slicing through practically anything.

With his sword's edge shining a vibrant bright blue, Xavier severed the varmint's hand completely, cutting the space behind them. Using his special sword technique, the Regokinesis Blade.

The Regokinesis Blade is a sword technique that Xavier developed himself, however, it required him to deactivate his vector shield, leaving him open to attacks, to utilize it properly.

Even with that disadvantage, when triggered after channeling vectors into his blade, Xavier could fully destabilize the molecular structure of his targets, resulting in a clean and precise cut. When utilized appropriately, it has the potential to cut through space itself.

The Varmint was perplexed as to how Xavier was able to cut off its hand.

With a smug expression on his face, Xavier murmured to the Varmint, "Not so tough, huh?" And it promptly booted the varmint back onto the now-destroyed ground.

As the varmint tumbled to the ground, Xavier appeared above it, stabbing it with his Regokinesis Blade technique.

Xavier thought to himself with awe, "This is the first time I can use Regokinesis Blade without my sword shattering into pieces."

The Varmint then suddenly attempted to defend itself against Xavier's attacks, but Xavier simply cut off its other hand.

But suddenly the varmint's hand, which Xavier had recently severed, began to regenerate rapidly. Leaving Xavier utterly speechless at the varmint's ability to heal its wounds.

The Varmint then struck Xavier, launching him into the atmosphere. Luckily, Xavier was able to deactivate his Regokinesis Blade and reactivate his vector shield to protect himself from the attack.

The Varmint then jumped into the air again and pushed Xavier, but the punch was then reflected by Xavier's vector barrier, breaking the Varmint's hand.

But the sheer intensity of the impact pushed Xavier away even further.

Xavier then crashed far from the forests, where the Forest Crown Hunt event occurred. And onto an island several miles from the Grand Kingdom of the United States.

Xavier got up on his feet and contemplated where he was. But then he spotted the Varmint descending quickly towards him from the sky.

Xavier took a stance and exclaimed "Multi-directional Echo" after reactivating Regokinesis Blade.

He then began to unleash a barrage of slashes on the varmint, slashing its entire body into small fragments.

Finally free to rest from his injuries, Xavier suffered a severe headache and nosebleed. Because he reached the maximum amount of time he could use his vector shield, which was three minutes.

He also became increasingly fatigued from utilizing his cosmic eyes excessively to perform multiple complex calculations.

But then Xavier heard a roar, and the varmint he had previously chopped into grains of salt had crash-landed on the island he was on.

"Wait, it can regenerate even after being sliced to the size of a molecule?" Xavier exclaimed, completely defeated.

The Varmint smirked and ran at Xavier, unleashing heavy blows at him at rapid speed.

However, Xavier was able to deflect all of its hits back at it, causing the varmint to injure itself with its attacks. But the varmint was unconcerned about the damage it was taking and just regenerated all its wounds. And continued its barrage of strikes against Xavier.

Xavier expanded his vector shield, pushing the varmint away from him.

Fatigued and annoyed, Xavier thought to himself, "I need to kill this thing quickly."

"Before I'm completely drained of all my energy," he added.

Xavier assumed a sword stance and began to de-expand his vector barrier as he focused more on his control over vectors than before.

"I need to create something new and more powerful than my Regokinesis Blade Technique," Xavier told himself.

Xavier then activated his aura, remembering what Instructor Joshua had mentioned about the aura's value.

How it was a great skill for intimidating your opponents. And how you could enhance your power and physical abilities by absorbing the ethereal energy in your surroundings as well as the energy you released from yourself.

Xavier began reabsorbing the ethereal energy he had discharged, as well as the energy in his surroundings, into his body. He gradually deactivated his vector shield at the same time.

However, as he proceeded to gather more ethereal energy, his sword began to shine brighter and brighter with each passing second.

A tremendous whirlwind began to form around Xavier's blade as it continued to blow brighter, with an incredible amount of energy flowing out of it.

Terrified of the attack that Xavier was about to launch, the varmint attempted to flee, but it was too late.

Xavier then immediately deactivated his vector shield and shouted from the top of his lungs, "Vector Nova!".

When Xavier unleashed his freshly developed special strike, Vector Nova completely annihilated and shredded everything on a molecular level. And everything within a few kilometers of them, including the entire island, Xavier, and the varmint, was on.

Even though Vector Nova destroyed the varmint, it was a new attack that Xavier had yet to master. So it didn't entirely kill the varmint but left a little bit of its eye.

Now drowning in the depths of the ocean after annihilating the entire island he was on, Xavier's vision blurred as he gradually began to lose consciousness.

However, the small fragment of the varmint's eye that had survived began to regenerate. But thankfully, Xavier's Vector Nova attack significantly hindered its regeneration ability.

Unable to regenerate more than half of its face and one hand, the varmint grabbed a vulnerable Xavier by the neck. And began to choke Xavier as he attempted to break through.

The Varmint then began to drag Xavier deeper into the ocean depths, creating the same portal that it and its comrades used to enter the human realm, only to drag Xavier out of it.

Xavier attempted to stab the varmint while traveling through multiple dimensions and realities in an unfamiliar and chaotic space.

But he was surprised to see that the sword his grandfather gave him had been shattered into bits, because of the Vector Nova attack he had used.

Using his now-shattered blade, Xavier stabbed the varmint in the neck, intending to rip off its head.

However, the varmint scoffed at Xavier's attempts and proceeded to choke him out as they moved across realities.

Xavier fought to stay awake but rapidly lost consciousness. However, his cosmic eyes began to glow brightly again. But this time, its radiance was more intense and vibrant than ever.

Suddenly, a massive gold imperial gate the size of the earth appeared, startling Xavier and the Varmint.

The gate then slowly opened, unleashing a blinding light at Xavier and the varmint. And it began to suck them in like a black hole, from which they could not escape.

As they entered the gate, Xavier and the varmint began to fall from the sky, teleporting into a beautiful and enormous fantasy-like world.

Crashing hard onto the ground, Xavier attempted to stand back up to retrieve his shattered sword and slay the varmint. But he couldn't move since he had run out of strength and energy.

Even after a fierce battle against the Varmint and conquering his limits, surpassing the strength of his previous self, Xavier lost in the end, making the Varmint victorious.

After regenerating one of its legs, the varmint slowly stood up and began to crush Xavier's head with its arm in delight.

Xavier, who was still in pain and had fuzzy eyesight, witnessed a gigantic, shadowy figure appear behind them.

The shadowy figure towered over not only the varmint but all the mountains nearby.

When the varmint realized that something overwhelmingly stronger than it was behind it. The Varmint slowly turned around in horror, noticing a massive, giant, shadowy beast with the eyes of a true Alpha Predator.

The Varmint's body then began to slowly fade away, as if its fundamental existence were being eradicated by the very presence of an Alpha Predator mightier than it.

As the varmint faded out of existence, Xavier slowly peered up to see who this shadowy beast was.

And to his complete and utter surprise, this huge beast was a dragon, a creature of utter destruction and catastrophic power.

Xavier tried to get closer to the dragon, but he passed out due to his severe wounds. But this time, his cosmic eyes were unable to awaken him because he had pushed himself beyond his limits.
