Speed Is King

“Huh? They actually understood my words?” Elliot’s jaw dropped for a quick second before drawing Gilgamar out of his sheath.

His right hand shimmered a deep hue of violet and turned into a deadly looking dragon arm with beautiful but dangerous looking violet scales.

“Hehehe. Oops. But no matter. It’s not as though I want to avoid this fight. I need a strong enemy to test out my new power! And I have the perfect move to deal with the two of you. Movement twenty! Good dogs don’t block the road. Bad dogs are to be whipped!”

Elliot entered into the opening stance of the twentieth movement and transitioned smoothly into an aggressive wide slash that unleashed almost his full power right out the bat.

B-B-B-B-BOOOM!!!

The space in front of Elliot immediately crackled with countless violent explosions as Gilgamar scorched through the air and set it aflame. Gilgamar’s incomparably sharp edge combined with intense fiery explosions made for a deadly combination.

GRAAAAHHHH!!

A wail of anguish filled the air as the first blue giant went down in flames without even managing to do anything except charge at Elliot!

“Hmmmmm.” Elliot’s mind registered the massive damage that he had just dealt and his heart couldn’t help but jolt slightly at his own power.

Elliot’s power had skyrocketed to an incredible height due to several factors.

First, he had been mindlessly focusing on upping his strength stat for a long time, and by now, with the countless bonuses he got from his apostles added to his own high level, his strength had swelled to nearly a thousand points! A single punch of his was as strong as a thousand grown men punching!

Second, he had transitioned from using simple skills which he got from the system such as Lightning Strike (5000% increase in damage), into the pure elemental energy based Nameless Sword Technique! Although Gilgamar didn’t tell him exactly just how many percent increase in damage the technique deals,

Elliot suspected that it is much, much more than 5000%. Probably very close to 25,000%. Skills provided by the system, though powerful, are generic and would never be able to compete with personalized skills which Gilgamar was passing on to him.

Third, even the Nameless Sword Technique had been further boosted by the use of his Purgatory Fire Energy instead of simply Fire Dragon Energy! Gilgamar himself had said that his power had at least tripled. And if that is true, then Elliot’s earlier slash was a mindblowingly powerful 75,000% damage multiplier from his base 1000 strength attack.

That would translate roughly to 750,000 grown men punching out at once.

750,000!

If one had never seen what an army of 750,000 men are capable of doing, then one would probably find it difficult to imagine just how powerful Elliot was at that moment.

The biggest soccer stadium of screaming fans only had a capacity of over a hundred thousand. And even then, the sheer power of their roars of excitement and their stomps would shake the superstadium right down to its foundations.

It was undoubtedly an incredibly powerful attack.

As big and as powerful the blue giant King was, it could not do anything against an unguarded fire attack with the power of 750,000 men. And so… It died.

The second blue giant was a step behind the first, and managed to summon an air shield which vastly reduced the effect of Elliot’s flames.

As a King, he had no lack of skills which could easily block or negate the attacks of his enemies. His comrade could have survived Elliot’s attack if it hadn’t been so enraged and cocky, and took precautions by setting up a shield beforehand.

But he didn’t and as it turned out, his death was a boon for the second blue giant who was able to react in time to put up his own shield.

He ignored his fallen comrade and burst through the flames to reach Elliot with his giant greatswords swinging.

CLANG! CLANG!

Elliot easily parried the blue giant’s furious attack at an angle and diverted both his attacks away. His powerful momentum caused him to be off balance for a second.

Elliot’s eyes gleamed in satisfaction and immediately sent a powerful Purgatory Fire Energy infused thrust towards his chest.

However, Gilgamar inexplicably slowed and stop right before its tip could pierce the blue giant’s chest!

Looking down at his sword, Elliot realized that the blue giant had dropped his greatswords and had caught Gilgamar with his powerful left hand which was shielded by some sort of air barrier.

GRAKA KAGAGRATO!

The blue giant snarled angrily at Elliot and showered his face with disgusting blue spit.

BAM!

A massive fist smashed into Elliot’s unguarded left flank! The blue giant had dropped his right greatsword as well and had opted to give Elliot a good beating with his fist instead!

Elliot was unwilling to let go of Gilgamar, so he chose to weather the beating instead. That first punch he got didn’t hurt quite as badly as he expected.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The blue giant pounded on Elliot’s left flank mercilessly.

Elliot gritted his teeth and chose to ignore it as he focused on weaving his Purgatory Fire Energy into the most powerful energy burst he could unleash.

“MOVEMENT TWENTY FOUR! BLASTING THROUGH THE IMMOVABLE MOUNTAIN!!” Elliot shouted loudly.

Gilgamar shone brightly for a brief second before unleashing a great explosion.

KAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!

The blue giant’s shielded hand as well as his chest immediately disintegrated. His head and four limbs, or rather, what remained of his head and four limbs shot out in different directions.

The second blue giant was finally dead.

One thing for sure, it highlighted Elliot’s lack of experience in fighting skilled and desperate fighters who are willing to take extreme measures just to deal damage to him!

Not for a single moment did Elliot think that there would be anyone crazy enough to grab Gilgamar just to stop its advance and to hold it in place. But the blue giant did. And he managed to deal damage to Elliot before died.

The question was, how much damage did he deal to Elliot?
