As the three of them appeared in front of the Planet, they saw it.
It looked a bit like something humans would call a habitable Planet.
It had a lot of ground and a bunch of oceans.
However, the oceans were all boiling and moving around chaotically, while the ground was growing mountains at a rapid speed.
As Kyle watched, he could see the entire Planet shake.
All the Energy had already solidified, but it was still in the process of calming down.
With time, the oceans would stop shaking this violently, and mountains would stop popping out of the ground.
Then, a normal Planet would be created.
"Alright! Time to hunt some beasts," Kyle transmitted as he shot towards the Planet.
The other two followed.
As Kyle charged forward, he easily left the other two behind.
Since he had unlocked many more Clusters, his speed had improved drastically.
"Slow down, Meteor Hammer!" Swamp Dragon transmitted.
"Don't worry," Kyle answered. "I'm just having a bit of fun. If I see anything dangerous, I will regroup."
As Kyle looked at the Planet, he already saw hundreds of beasts, and he could even see more beasts materializing in the world's atmosphere.
This Planet attracted all kinds of beasts, and most of them immediately entered battle.
Kyle sensed his surroundings and quickly determined something.
"It's materialized in the Beast, Mortal, and Main Dimension," he transmitted. "We're in luck!"
Manny blinked a couple of times, while Swamp Dragon furrowed his brows.
"How do you know that?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Kyle asked, just as confused.
"The Energy is still in chaos. It's obvious that it has materialized in the Beast and Main Dimensions, but how do you know it's in the Mortal Dimension as well? How do you know it's not also materialized in the Hell and Immortal Dimensions?" he asked.
Kyle was confused by the statement.
It was like Kyle had said that a red ball was red, and the other person questioned him about how he could know that the red ball was red.
Like… it was just obvious?
"The Energy just says so," Kyle answered. "It's kinda obvious."
Swamp Dragon furrowed his brows more.
'I don't know where this question is coming from,' Kyle thought. 'There's a bunch of normal Energy. There's a bunch of weak and restrained Energy, and there's a lot of Biological Energy in the air, which means there are a lot of living things around.'
'If it were also in the Immortal Dimension, I would feel a huge pressure of dense Energy. If it were in the Hell Dimension, I would feel… not sure what I would feel, but it just doesn't seem like it's there. Also, the Hero Dimension probably feels super holy or something. The Energy would probably taste of benevolence or some shit like that.'
Swamp Dragon still wasn't sure if Kyle was correct.
The Energy in the surroundings was chaotic and difficult to perceive. The only obvious change in Energy would come when the Planet materialized in the Elemental Dimension.
Every other Dimension just felt the same.
"I got one!" Kyle transmitted as he charged towards a gigantic ice mantis.
The ice mantis was flying towards the oceans, and Kyle was planning on intercepting it.
"Where?" Swamp Dragon asked.
"There!" Kyle transmitted while he kept charging.
Swamp Dragon looked towards the place Kyle was charging, but he couldn't see anything.
About two seconds later, Swamp Dragon saw it.
If he hadn't paid attention to that spot, he would have missed the tiny distant ice mantis.
Well, it wasn't tiny, but it was just very far away.
'How did he see that?' Swamp Dragon thought.
Meanwhile, Kyle was about to reach the ice mantis, and it finally also noticed him.
It was a Level Eleven Primal Beast.
This thing was no joke.
Without Manny, Swamp Dragon wouldn't be able to win against this thing despite already being a 6/13 Primal.
Level Eleven Primal Beasts were much stronger than Level Ten Primal Beasts.
"Come back!" Swamp Dragon transmitted. "This thing is dangerous!"
"No, it's not," Kyle transmitted as he charged forward.
The next moment, the Ice Mantis readied its blades.
Kyle had once fought a Level Eleven Lightning Whale on the last Planet for a short moment, but that wasn't really a battle.
Kyle had simply approached it and pushed it to the other whales.
If he had actually wanted to win, he would have needed to fight this thing for quite some time.
Additionally, the whale had been slow and had focused on ethereal attacks.
Meanwhile, this ice mantis was fast and focused on physical attacks.
The mantis charged towards Kyle as well.
Its speed was almost twice as high as Kyle's.
In an instant, it slashed towards Kyle.
The attack was insanely fast, and it was basically impossible to react to it.
SHING!
A trail of ice was left behind as the ice mantis missed Kyle.
Kyle readied his hammer. The ice mantis noticed that it had missed and attacked with its second blade.
And missed again.
Kyle swung his hammer.
CRK!
The hammer burrowed into the mantis' neck, but despite not being the biggest beast, the ice mantis was still vastly larger than Kyle.
And yet…
The ice mantis' body lost all of its power, and it plummeted towards the Planet.
It was dead.
'Huh, that was easy,' Kyle thought. 'Was this guy just super weak?'
When Swamp Dragon and Manny saw the quick battle, their eyes widened.
How?!
So many things had happened that seemed impossible.
First, why did the ice mantis' fast attacks miss twice?!
It didn't look like Kyle had dodged.
It looked like the mantis had simply missed.
Additionally, it had simply received a tiny crack in its exoskeleton on its neck, but it immediately died.
Well, from Kyle's perspective, the only surprising thing had been how weak the mantis was.
The missing attacks?
Kyle had dodged them.
When Kyle had looked at the ice mantis, he felt its Biological Energy moving towards its muscles, which tensed.
It was obvious that it would unleash a strike going from the top left to the bottom right.
It was like seeing a man moving his right shoulder and elbow back while he had a clenched fist.
It was kinda obvious that the man was about to launch a straight punch.
So, Kyle had simply changed his angle a bit and moved to the side.
Naturally, the ice mantis had tried to adapt, but its degree of adaptation had already been considered by Kyle.
The same thing was true for the second attack.
Kyle had simply moved in a way that would make the attack miss.
Then, he had sensed the Biological Energy in the ice mantis' body and rammed his pick into the mantis' neck.
When the pick had hit the mantis' neck, its force shot forward.
Like a bullet, the force created a long and thin tunnel, and it perfectly severed the overlapping Energy Pathways in the mantis' neck.
The point of beheading something was to separate the brain from the Beast Core or Center.
By severing the Energy Pathways, Kyle had cut the fuel line for the mantis' mind, and it simply stopped working.
The mind stopped working, which meant there was nothing left to order the Biological Energy.
Therefore, the Energy Pathways were not repaired.
That's how it had died.
