Chapter 1437: Decision(12)

Looking at the high cost of the skill, Alon froze for a moment, having no idea of what to do. He had plans to go for the lower-level skill in cases like that, but his heart was urging him against that.

Alon didn’t know that [Golaith’s Harmony] was the mightiest skill of any type at the Divine Transformation level for the element of physique and one of the top five skills if all the elements were involved.

“Should I break my limit?” Alon repeatedly mumbled under his breath, not being able to form any argument other than the high price.

After a long time of confusion, Alon took a deep breath, and his heart calmed down. He deeply wanted to break the price limit, but in the end, he decided against it despite the strong ability of the skill. Even in the case of [Ember Infusion], he broke the limit, but that was only for some thousand ordinary stones.

The same wasn’t the case with [Goliath’s Harmony]. His limit was ten stones, while the skill cost thirty higher stones, which was three times his limit. He had only ascended into the Sacred Dimension for a few hours, so there was no need for him to be that anxious.

Considering thoughts like that, he returned the card. The next moment, his heart felt empty, as if it had lost something dear. Alon took a deep breath, reached for the left shelf, and pulled out the Emperor-level skill card.

There was a great difference between the Emperor and God level skill. For the latter, Aakesh could use repeated attacks, but the former didn’t allow such leeway. After every attack, there would be a cooldown of three seconds.

For the defensive aspect, it was restricted to only physical attacks and could no longer defend well against elemental strikes.

Despite that, the skill didn’t disappoint him. Its price was also four higher Sacred stones, which was one stone lower than the five stones he had set.

There was no need for any more confusion, so he had received all five types of skills. Two were God-level, while the remaining three were Emperor-level.

He then stared at the semi-pillar and the long line of customers waiting for their turn. Alon also decided to try his luck, so he walked in that direction and joined the queue.

Since each customer left after one or two seconds on average, it didn’t take long before it was Alon’s turn.

Alon decided to experience [Goliath’s Harmony] first, so he put the card in the compartment. The next moment, his eyes turned blank, and his consciousness left his body, appearing in a different environment.

Alon was standing in a battle arena, and his opponent was a meter away from him. There were numerous injuries spread across his body, while the opponent also had several injuries, but unlike Alon, neither of them was grave.

Around the arena, the spectator stand was full of viewers who were loudly cheering. To be precise, the cheer was for the opponent, and he was booed and cursed for being weak.

The element of physique was suitable for close combat, so Alon had expected to appear in an environment like that. Not even a second had passed as his consciousness quickly gathered all the information.

The next moment, Alon’s consciousness looked in shock as his opponent activated berserk mode. The next moment, the enemy quadrupled in size. Cracks had started appearing on the concrete beneath his feet, and an aura of a prehistoric beast was subconsciously releasing.

The viewers fell silent with excitement glowing in their eyes. They anticipated how the enemy would tear Alon apart.

Alon’s consciousness was in shock, seeing the power level of the opponent, but his body remained unfazed. It immediately activated [Goliath’s Harmony].

The next moment, an invisible wave of energy began to gather around him and soon converged on him. He doubled in size, causing a wave of laughter from the crowd. His eyes turned devoid of emotion, like a fanatic who only knew the battle of life and death.

All around his body, veins popped out, and his muscles tightened, outlining his body like a perfectly made sculpture.

At that moment, the enemy pounced. His punch, larger than Alon’s face, turned even bigger as it approached. Soon after, it seemed that the strike was of the same size as Alon.

Alon’s body remained unfazed and activated the defensive aspect of the skill. The next moment, he took the punch head-on, joining his two hands. The next moment, he got pushed a few meters backward.

The crowd who were laughing at Alon suddenly turned silent since they noticed that the punch didn’t hit Alon but an invisible membrane, only a few mm away from his skin. It was just that the force of the punch was so great that despite not hitting the opponent, it pushed Alon backward.

Even Alon was surprised by the sequence of events. He knew that since the skill was strong, he would see, but he didn’t expect to remain fully unharmed by the attack.

Alon’s body carried a lot of strength, so the moment he landed, he pushed himself forward, activating the offensive aspect of the skill.

Boom!

His punch broke the sound barrier and hit the enemy. The next moment, a gruesome scene played out as the opponent’s gigantic hand ruptured, not being able to handle the force of Alon’s strike.

There were three seconds of cooldown before the next strike, so Alon immediately pulled backward, moving out of the enemy’s range of counterattack. Three seconds passed in a flash, and Alon again punched, causing another rupture, and this time, the hand exploded.

Roar!

The enemy roared like a beast in anger, and his body expanded even further. His veins were on the verge of exploding, while his eyes had turned completely red, devoid of any sanity.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The enemy’s speed grew at an outrageous rate, and he immediately caught up to Alon. The next moment, a barrage of punches was unleashed.

[Colossus Shield] was able to defend against many, but unfortunately, it also got overwhelmed, and the invisible membrane cracked open, leaving Alon to defend using his body.

Fortunately for Alon, three seconds of cooldown was over, so pushing as much blood and energy as possible, he punched.
