Now, Aella asks about Noelle's hunt. Noelle answers that it went well and says that these Tempest bulls are something else. Aella enquires further, and so Noelle says that she traveled out of the forest and came across these bulls, who were very fast and strong. They covered themselves in Wind, which proved to be the most difficult part to deal with. My ice couldn't penetrate their shield.
[Previously]
As it was a plain the bulls noticed Noelle before she got close. Noelle who also spotted the bulls got ready and took a fighting position. She noticed that these bulls were all 4th level of Entry Beast. She created numerous Ice Arrows and threw them toward the bulls but the bulls created a wind barrier around them and charged toward Noelle. She made a bunch of Ice Walls in the bulls' path but they broke the wall instantly.
Noelle created ice from her feet to dodge the bulls. When she landed on the ground another group of bulls charged at her. Instead of dodging she created numerous Icicles and launched them at the bulls but the wind around the bulls is very sturdy and the Icicles just broke. Having realized this, Noelle tried to dodge but it was too late and the bulls collided with Noelle. She flew a short distance and slammed into the ground.
Noelle got up and wiped the dust on herself and rushed toward the bulls using her ice. She was just about there but the bulls created small wind spheres in their mouth and launched them at Noelle. As she was still far away, Noelle didn't notice the spheres until they were very close to her. She barely managed to dodge them by riding on the ice. As the bulls charged, Noelle summoned a freezing wind, turning the ground to slick ice.
The bulls lost their footing, crashing down in a chaotic heap. Ice spikes shot from beneath them, piercing their bodies and ending the fight in moments. After this, a radiant glow surrounded Noelle as she evolved into a 4-level Entry Beast, power surging through her.

She smiled, triumphant—but her senses quickly sharpened. More bulls were approaching, they were of the same level but their numbers were even greater than before. The ground trembled under their charge. Realizing this Noelle was confused as to what to do. Then she made a giant tower with Ice spikes facing the bulls. As the bulls crashed into the spikes breaking them but they died in the process. Seeing this, Noelle made another volley of Icicles and threw them at the bulls. The icicles did manage to kill some bulls but the bulls which were outside the range of her skill launched Wind Spheres at the tower hoping to demolish it.
But Noelle creates a bigger wall surrounding the tower to block the spheres. After a while, the exterior wall eventually broke but then she created another similar wall. Noelle turned the icicles into a more lance-like and unleashed a volley of them at the bulls. She continuously repeated this process for a while until none were left alive. After the battle, Noelle was a little disappointed that she didn't reach the 5th level of Entry Beast.
As she released all the icy energy around her, she was ambushed by two bulls at the 5th level of Entry Beast. They covered themselves with a layer of wind that completely erased their presence so even Noelle couldn't sense them. They charged her from opposite sides and crushed her in the middle. Noelle let out a painful scream and spat out some blood. She fell to the ground critically injured and was about to lose consciousness.
She cut herself with ice to stay conscious. The bulls noticed this and started to dash at her. She immediately created a layer of Ice around her and made large Spikes on the ice. The bulls stopped dashing and started to walk slowly around her. Now that the bulls are not hiding their presence Noelle was able to sense them. They compressed a huge amount of wind in their mouths which made a big sphere and they launched it at her. Senses this Noelle creates 3 more layers of ice around her to defend against the attack.
The spheres destroyed the 4 layers of ice around Noelle leaving her vulnerable. The two bulls quickly compressed a small amount of wind and launched them at her. She realizes that these wind spheres are not as powerful as before so instead of creating a layer of ice she created a pillar of ice under her. Just as she reached a little high, she immediately gathered a large amount of icy wind and made a giant lance, and threw it at one bull.
The giant lance killed a bull which was just enough for her to evolve and become a 5th-level Entry Beast.

With the evolution, she recovered her strength and mana. After reaching the 5th level she got a new skill "Ice Clones" which creates 3 physical clones of oneself with 50% of the original body's stats. Since she is a long-range fighter, this skill is very compatible with her. After that, she simply made another giant lance a killed the other bull. Now she was caught up in another dilemma. She has to bring all these bodies back.
In the beginning, she tried to lift two bodies together but she slipped and she noticed that the body rolled even on an uneven surface. Then she suddenly got an idea. She made a huge wagon and threw all the bodies on it and was on the way to the base.
[Back to present]
So, that is how it went. What about you?
