Sothing rather surprising happens the next ti I leave the tournant dinsion to go hunt targets. Sothing so surprising that it has freezing in my tracks as I float high in the air above a massive ocean that stretches across the entirety of the Dinsional Block I'm in.
Because what I see surfacing in the water below is an enormous kraken Cataclysm Class monster.
The monster spans probably about three hundred ters in length from the tip of its head down to the tip of its tentacles, and it is covered in dark blue scales with little openings at the ends of each of its tentacles. Openings that I see spewing out so sort of pale blue liquid that freezes everything it touches. anwhile the monster's two massive eyes are glowing with a pale blue light as it opens its equally enormous maw that is for so bizarre reason above its eyes at the top of its head.
But the thing that has startled about the monster isn't any of that. It's not its appearance, or the natural ice magic it seems to be using.
It's the thing I see in its identify result along with the red glow I see on it.
{Charalba – Kraken of Cataclysm – Level 1000} -|-|-|-|- {Target – Reaper Directive – Annihilate the Rule Breaker – Target broke the laws of nature and began freezing the spatial boundary between the Dinsional Blocks and the void.}
I didn't know this was even possible. For a Cataclysm Class monster to be a target.
The kraken goes on roaring and screeching its anger out at as I float high above staring at it. And it even tries to swat with its tentacles, but I ignore said tentacles when they pass through without leaving a mark.
Hmm. Well, whatever.
You have now begun your assault on a target of the universe.
Should you eliminate the target, you will be given a single fragnt of an energy core for acting within your role.
Your ti limit has been removed.
Act as you please as you eliminate the target.
I frown a little at the notification. And more importantly, at the ntion of an energy core.
The System says that every ti I find a target, but I've never seen any such energy core. All I've gotten was a random reward every ti I kill a target.

No energy cores.
I'm not even sure what an energy core is.
Hey, Zal, do you have any idea what an energy core is?
"Of course I do," he answers right away while sounding slightly distracted in the process. "Energy cores are how we quantum beings grow stronger the fastest. But I don't believe you can absorb them yet. Not until you have your entire core."
Oh. Interesting.
I wonder if that ans I'm just saving up all the energy cores from these targets for when I do get the rest of my own core? Or if those energy cores are just going to waste instead.
It's also possible that they're being turned into the rewards I'm taking.
Regardless, I'm not sure I care right now.
Especially since the kraken is now shooting that icy liquid out at and it actually freezes my feet when it makes contact. Proving that it's got magical aspects to it.
So I quickly teleport away while reverting my body in ti. Then I transform into my True Form and proceed to beat up the giant kraken.
A process that is actually a bit harder than I was expecting. Especially when it starts to spew forth that icy liquid into the air, making it rain down like, well, rain. Freezing absolutely everything it touches in the process.
Even .
I grit my teeth as bits of my armor, cloak, and even skin freeze just from the drops of the liquid that touch . But after a bit I go ahead and use energy manipulation to create a barrier of ice above my head. Specifically because ice won't freeze ice.
Then I begin using Quantum Bolt and Quantum Singularity Implosion on the kraken, only for the thing to regenerate so fast that I can barely even see it having taken damage in the first place. Another facet of the monster that startles .
So I change tactics and finally let loose and begin using the finishing move that I learned to fight against the previous Quantum Architect. Ignoring as the icy rain sotis hits through my barrier of ice while I do the movents of the attack.
I ignore patches of my skin freezing solid. Ignore the pain that cos with it. And ignore the frozen parts of my gear and the shattering of the barrier above when one of the kraken's tentacles hits it.
All until I finally swing my scythe straight at the kraken. Sending a massive arc of pure reaper quantum energy at it.
An arc that splits the Cataclysm Class monster in two straight down the middle.
Congratulations! Your target has been eliminated.
Rewards will now be distributed to the Quantum Reaper.
Analyzing most beneficial rewards at the current mont…
Analysis complete.
For eliminating one target, the universe is forcefully altering the System to raise one skill chosen by the user by a single level.
Please choose a skill to raise a level.
I blink at that notification before smiling.
Nice.
Without any hesitation, I go ahead and raise the level of Energy Manipulation to level 29.
Just one more level left before I can finally ascend to Tier 5.
A smile stretches across my face at that thought. Only for to turn my attention to the two sinking halves of the kraken.
Uh. So I have no idea how to deal with this corpse.
Should I just inform the locals of this Dinsional Block, or should I try bringing it back myself?
It won't exactly fit in my storage ring, so…
I watch it sink for a bit before shrugging to myself and teleporting to a random civilization nearby to tell them about the two halves of the massive kraken corpse.
Whatever. I don't need body parts from it anyways.
