480 The Epic Battle - Part 1
“You are just using such strong crystals like they were rubbish,” she rolled her eyes as she said in disdain. And I ignored her useless remark.
I didn’t care how valuable these crystals were. I only needed to store up as much energy as I could in my chariot.
In the upcoming fight, I got the feeling that sparing anything to do such a simple task would be hard.
Just as I finished doing this for the next five minutes, I finally got to see the final shape of that behemoth up front.
It was… Really massive! I thought it was standing on the ground as it had such towering stature from far.
But when I arrived closer, I got to see the true place of it. It was on water, just like what Fang said before.
“This…” but I had to admit, that thing was really all pitch black. It was so damn hard to tell its outer appearance except if one looked at the world around it.
Even in such a dim world, this behemoth made the world look bright and shiny. The blackness of that behemoth was like a deep night without any moon or stars, a pitch black mountain looming over the water surface.
“It’s… Huge!” I said what came to mind when I saw this thing.
“He is just floating on water, you didn’t get to see him while standing on all its huge tentacles,” Isac said, making me picture something terrifying.
Just from looking at it like that I got how helpless fighting it was. But I didn’t let such feelings dwindle inside my soul for so long. I clenched my fists, squeezing my fingers over the cold surface of my two glaives.
“I’m… Going to kill it,” I decided, and it felt pointless saying these words. After all, I came here not to play with it, but to kill that bastard.
However, saying these words out loud washed away any feeling of fear and dread inside my heart.
“You are a stupid courage person, you know that?” Isac from the side could only say that while shaking her head.
“Let’s see how it will stand against me,” I looked at the messages of the system. The curse of my Libra was still half way through completion. After reaching thirty something percent, the speed started to show an obvious decrease.
I didn’t know exactly what the distance between me and that behemoth was. But from me to the shore, there were almost a couple of miles left.
“What are you doing?” as I continued my movement forward, Isac from the side blurted out in clear panic.
“I’m going to say hi,” I shrugged, taking back my light glaive before taking something out.
“Another artefact?!! Damn Hye!!! How many artefacts do you have?!!!” She was shocked to see the pillar of Hector’s race that I took out.
“Just stand on the side and keep watching in silence,” I said in a serious tone, without even sparing a glance to her, “things will get a bit hectic from now on.”
“…”
She seemed to get fazed by my words and tone. She remained silent, giving me finally the peace I wanted.
I was moving at such a fast speed and doing reckless moves that I knew it would backfire on me. But I had to test this behemoth, I needed to know what it was able to do.
And my way of saying greetings was simple.
*Roar!*
Just as I crossed the shore and flew for half a mile, I heard such a mighty roar. From its intensity, I could tell that the bastard wasn’t that far away from me.
“Watch out! He is going to use his scorching land ability attack!” even if I stuck a tape over her mouth, she wouldn’t even stop talking! Dammit Isac! Can’t you just stay silent for a few minutes?!
But as she warned me, I saw many sparkling golden dots in the dim sky. From seeing these, I recalled the scene of the tens of thousands of the star weapons that I saw when fighting against that alien universe army.
Ok… You started your attack, and it would be fair for me to start mine.
“Thundering might!” The first thing I used wasn’t an attack skill, but the defensive skill of my pillar. The pillar broke free from my hand, flew and hovered for hundreds of metres above my chariot before expanding to connect the sky with water.
“Damn!” This fight was on another level than what Isac and other paragons here would imagine. “You are really a monster!”
*Boom!*
The next moment the pillar released its shield that spanned over a very wide area. I stood in the outer region of this shield, which spanned in a circular way to cover a huge stretch of land and a tiny part of the ocean waters.
It seemed the pillar recognised the area covered by my monsters to be under my protection. So it spanned and covered a very vast area that spanned towards the rear horizon.
As my first move appeared, it was time to use another.
“Crushing Wave!”
It was the first time for me to use such a skill. I always used the Thundering Might defensive skill of my pillar. But at this battle, I had to use all the skills I had from my pillar.
The pillar in my hand shook violently, yet this time it didn’t break free from my hand. Unlike what I expected, I felt a deep connection with the pillar.
According to the description of the skill, I should have a cone shaped limited wave attack.
[Crushing Wave skill: Pillar of Hector race prime exclusive skill. Can’t be linked permanently to you. You can only use it as long as you are still the owner of the pillar.
Skill details: holding the pillar, you can wave it to launch a mighty wave of energy that will attack only a limited space of one hundred metres width and five hundred metres length. You can control the wave with your mind, determining the location of its impact. Once it landed on your target, a mighty explosion will engulf the area of coverage by the skill for five straight minutes. The damage taken can be equal to one thousand eings damage. Can be used once per day]
