Speed Is King

Lightning Slash!

Elliot wasted no time circling around the blue giants and attacking an unsuspecting one at the fringes of their formation.

With Lightning Slash’s armor piercing attribute, Elliot’s attack severed the blue giant’s head cleanly and quietly.

But too bad for him, the blue giant’s comrade happened to turn his way and saw his head drop down from his body.

“Gara! Gara!” His comrade shouted and pointed at Elliot.

Elliot swiftly entered stealth mode again and escaped into the trees.

“GAYARAKA HIJARARA!!” (Tighten formation, watch out for sneak attacks!) The assistant leader blue giant roared when he saw what Elliot had done.

Immediately, the blue giants started to move towards each other and formed a square formation with the assistant leader in the center. Ten trumpet rifle bearing blue giants stood at the ready near him while almost twenty others formed a rough square around them with their greatswords out and at the ready.

Hiding a short distance away from them, Elliot couldn’t help but gasp lightly at his incredible luck!

They had clustered themselves together to avoid getting sneak attacked by him, but in doing so, they had just sealed their fates.

Elliot could take them out very easily with his bio bombs!

“Well then, if you guys want to go out this way… Let me fulfil your request.” Elliot grinned as he lobbed the two bio bombs at them.

But too bad for the blue giants, he was wielding two greatswords instead of a trumpet rifle.

By the time the trumpet rifle giants heard his warning and turned their heads around to search for the bio bombs, it was too late.

The bio bombs fell gently among their midst and…

K A A B O O O O O O O O O M M M M M M M M M ! ! ! ! !

Both bio bombs exploded at the same time and completely obliterated the squad of blue giants!

[Congratulations! You’ve levelled up to level 367!]

Elliot’s level immediately shot up to an incredible level 367 after killing so many Lord and King level blue giants, getting closer to the soft cap at 399!

“Ahhhh. If only more of such things can happen to me!” Elliot sighed with deep satisfaction. He turned back to his human form and began to pick up all the loot that the blue giants left.

The bio bomb targeted only life forms and had eradicated the blue giants, and left their equipment fully untouched. It was the perfect outcome for Elliot!

And although he didn’t get to utilize a lot of his new sword techniques, he learnt several crucial lessons from the battle that would only make him more deadly and more efficient in the future.

“Congratulations on your victory, Master.” Wu Kong was the first to offer his congratulations.

“Well done, pip! I got quite a bit of strength gain, you must have killed quite a lot of enemies! Great job!” Red actually said many more than just those words, but Elliot tuned him out as soon as he began to chatter endlessly.

“Thanks guys. The grind is endless. You’ve done a great job recently, it’s only fair I do my part.” Elliot chuckled. “Red, don’t forget to update me regularly on the progress of those baby birds. I want to know exactly how strong and what skills they have.”

“Yes, of course I -“

“Moles! The coast is clear. Continue on your search for more seeds and for more of your brethren!” Elliot interrupted him and began to give out orders to the rest of his team.

“Aye aye, Master! It shall be done! As you wish!” The moles cried out excitedly. They were fully and completely bedazzled by Elliot, and treated his every command as a heavenly mandate.

“I need to let my Purgatory Fire Energy recharge and then continue to look for strong enemies to fight.” Elliot thought to himself. “I need more battle experience. The more I fight, the more I will be able to consolidate my sword skills, and the stronger I will be!

At the same time, I also need to quickly digest the Red Dragon Blood Essence. At this point, there is slightly less than half left. I might be able to transform half my body into the humanoid dragon form once I finish digesting it. With more Purgatory Fire Energy, I would be able to fight longer battles.”

Elliot quickly sorted out his thoughts as he looted the blue giants.

Up in the air, Khalendros and Khellendra were both shocked at the power of the two bio bombs. And in Khalendros’ case, quite pissed.

“What in the world were those two bombs? They’re so powerful… And he cheated!” Khalendros grumbled loudly to his wife. “He relied on external power to kill the blue giants!”

“What’s there to cheat about? This isn’t an examination.” Khellendra chuckled at her husband’s obvious discomfort at Elliot’s show of power. “And having the right tools at hand IS a form of power. You didn’t say that the blue giants were cheating when they used their Space-Lock Rifles, did you?”

“Well… No.” Khalendros conceded.

“He’s strong, and he’s going to grow stronger rapidly. Khal, with him, we have a much higher chance of winning the final Battle of Kings!” Khellendra’s eyes shined in excitement as she gripped her husband’s hand.

Khalendros looked at her wife with deep tenderness and nodded with a smile. He understood her passion. He felt the same way too.

“Don’t get your hopes too high.” Khalendros told his wife gently. “I’ll hate to see your heart crushed with disappointment once more if we fail to take this planet.”

“I know. I am holding myself back from hoping too much. But… There’s something about him that inspires me to believe. He has family that he’s fighting for, just like us. His motivations and ours are exactly the same. And his character isn’t all that bad. It just feels… like we’ve found a diamond in the rough.” Khellendra said softly.

Khalendros nodded in understanding.
