Speed Is King

In the distance, a ginormous mass of beasts with all sorts of colours covered the horizon from every single direction.

With his sharp eyes, Elliot could see that those beasts were a complete mix of all the previous nine waves.

The only thing was… they were all bigger and stronger! The ants were at least two meters tall, which was double their previous size. And the Giant Spider Bees were just creepy as hell.

It was one thing dealing with a bunch of one meter tall flying spiders. But it was completely a whole new level of scary when those spiders were two meters in size!

One meter was still smaller than the average human being, so it could be considered that one was going up against a bunch of “small-ish” monsters. That “small-ish” range would extend all the way until maybe around 1.5 meters in size.

On the other hand, at two meters, each monster was already larger than the average human being! So Elliot was up against a whole bunch of “Big-ish” monsters!

And to make things much, much worse, they were so densely packed that they made it look like a humongous and endless ring of solid mass was closing in on their position!

But Elliot was not perturbed at all by the fearsome sight of giant monsters of all shapes, colours and sizes approaching at high speed from every single direction. The mighty air in which they charged towards him was completely meaningless.

In his mind, they were nothing but a slightly bigger bunch of defeated weaklings.

“Let them get closer before attacking.” Khalendros advised Elliot. “Save your energy. It looks like it will be a long wave.”

“That’s alright. I have a lot of skills to try out. I’ll just take this bonus wave to experiment and fine tune my skills.” Elliot said nonchalantly and initiated his silver dragon transformation.

His majestic golden scales receded and were almost instantly replaced by wondrous silver scales.

If his golden dragon transformation had made him look regal and gave out an aura that made people think like they were facing a dragon god, his silver dragon transformation gave him a royal look and an aura that was unmistakably that of a dragon overlord!

A mighty, dominating overlord that looked down upon the world from a dizzying height!

“Movement nine. Endless coiling dragon chases after the sun!”

Elliot raised Gilgamar up high and unleashed his Cosmic Dragon Energy with reckless abandon.

After going through a series of complicated weaving, the Cosmic Dragon Energy turned into millions of razor sharp wind blades!

Each wind blade was the size of a pen and thin as a razor. They actually barely made any sound when they shot out towards the beasts. But with over a million of them, the collective sound they made was hair-raisingly chilling.

If the sound was chilling to hear, then the sight of them smashing into the literal wall of bodies was terrifying to the maximum.

It was a sight that none in the universe had ever seen, and probably none in the universe will ever see again in the near future.

It was an incredibly unforgettable sight!

And all it took for that to happen was… One second.

All the wind blades took to traverse the distance between Elliot and the wall of flesh was just one second.

And it took another second to traverse the distance from the first beast to the last beast right at the edge for the horizon.

It was blindingly fast, and the result was a near instantaneous eruption of blood and gore!

The near invisible wind blades powered by Elliot’s Cosmic Dragon Energy found absolutely no resistance in the huge mass of beasts.

The exoskeletons of the ants, the leathery skin of the bats, the slimy coat of the orguls, the thick scales of the jartils and all the other beasts were sliced cleanly again and again and again and again by the seemingly endless wave of wind blades.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

The beast wall was transformed into blood and mush, and splashed down upon the ground like red rain.

The uproar of the viewers rose to an incredibly feverish pitch of jealousy, greed and absolute disbelief!

“This is getting totally ridiculous. Elliot Musk. We need to get our hands on him!”

“We can’t possibly keep such a high potential kid. Rather than let him fall into the hands of stronger powers and make them stronger, let’s kill him now while he is still weak. If allowed to reach his full potential under a real power, he would become completely untouchable within a few short years!”

“Go! Go tell the Sect Leader that his prayers had been answered. The solution to our succession dilemma is on Planet Earth! Tell him that if he doesn’t want to miss out on the biggest catch of the millenia, he better come here himself! Yes! Threaten him! Just do it!”

“Send in the Secret Regiment. I want him at all costs.”

Gaming Commission Chairman El’Taras could feel a massive headache forming in his head. He had originally wanted to use the Beast Tide as an easy method to power up Elliot SO THAT he could survive the furious onslaught of warriors that was sure to be sent his way by powerful organizations seeking to kidnap him or kill him.

At the same time, because of the unspecified location of the hidden dungeon challenge, he felt that it was safe for him to stream Elliot’s live video feed to get even more bets going.

After all, it’s just good business sense to take as much profit as possible when the risk was so minimally low.

However at the rate he was ridiculously impressing the entire universe with his unparalleled potential, he doubted if the amount of money he made through the bets would be worth all the fires he had to put out later on when EVEN MORE powers send in their warriors to get their hands on him!

Elliot was quickly becoming one of the hottest products in the entire known universe!!
