Chapter 60 - Every Fist Connected, This Is Gravity
In the face of a violent and ferocious strength-type Direbeast such as the t.i.tan Tempest Ape, Ling Jiu did not hesitate to use the new Arcana he had just obtained, Tungsten Form.
Encased inside the osmium soil, Ling Jiu suddenly became a two-meter tall Tungsten Giant. His entire body"s defense and strength had changed dramatically.
At that moment, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape"s second punch had already thundered over.
"Good timing!"
Ling Jiu"s right fist met the attack.
Baaaam!!
The two fists met, a ma.s.sive thunderclap blasted out, and a devastating power was unleashed as a shocking scene took place: The most ferocious Cla.s.s 5 Direbeast, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape, that was known for its strength, was sent flying backwards uncontrollably!
Its ten meter tall body flew out like a cannonball for seven to eight meters, before cras.h.i.+ng onto the ground, and causing the earth to shake and tremble.
In just an exchange, superiority was already determined.
"Haha! Come on!"
Ling Jiu got so excited that he strode and charged toward the t.i.tan Tempest Ape.
"Roar!!!"
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape was furious, and let out a wrothful roar. Immediately after, its body started to inflate like a balloon... and was growing at a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye.
Fifteen meters, twenty meters, twenty-five meters...
In a few breath"s time, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape grew from 10 meters tall to 30 meters, transforming into a behemoth no lesser than the Rock Giant.
"It became even bigger? Is this... the Gigantization-type Arcana?" Ling Jiu"s eyes shrank, as he grew more cautious.
The Gigantization, like the Tungsten Form and Tyranno-Form Arcanas, were all part of the Body Morphing Arcanas.
However, the Gigantization-type Arcana usually only appear in human Arcanists, and most Arcanists can only grow about five to six meters tall, nothing like the t.i.tan Tempest Ape"s 30 meter height.
This was quite terrifying to say the least!
"Gigantization is a good Arcana, but I can"t replicate it now!" Ling Jiu felt a little pity.
On the other side of the ruins, a few pieces of rubble flew away as several heads popped out. They were the Vulcan team members.
Right then, the members of the Vulcan team were looking at the two behemoths standong on the gra.s.sland, their eyes bewildered.
"Who... Who are they?"
"One of them should be a gigantized t.i.tan Tempest Ape, the other one I have no idea!"
"Seems like a Rock Giant. If I"m right, it should be an Arcanist that had used a top-level Earth-type technique, the Rock Giant!"
"An Arcanist? F*ck me! That person dares to go head-on with the t.i.tan Tempest Ape, d.a.m.n!"
After gigantizing, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape pounded its c.h.e.s.t as it let out a thunderous roar. It then stomped on the ground as it charged at Ling Jiu once again.
"I"d like to see how much stronger you"ve gotten once you"ve gigantized!"
Ling Jiu"s blood began to boil as he stomped the ground hard and used the powerful counter-force to shoot himself out.
Crack!!
The two sides collided, and a crisp blast erupted in the void. A devastating shock wave centered on the two spread out on all sides.
Everything within the blast radius were sent flying.
The two behemoths pulled back at the same time, each retreating seven or eight meters back.
"Evenly matched?"
Yang Gan stared with wide eyes. "Is this a Level 5 Earth-type Arcanist? Yes! He must be at Level 5!"
"A Level 5 Arcanist!"
"Great, we"re saved!"
The Vulcan team members were secretly excited, they did not care who was their savior as long as that person could defeat the t.i.tan Tempest Ape, and kill it or drive it away.
"Raaawrrrr!"
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape roared continuously. Instead of making it flinch, the strike only provoked its ferocity as it roared and charged again.
Baaaam!!
It was at this moment a terrible gravity suddenly came crus.h.i.+ng down.
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape stumbled and almost fell onto the ground. At this very moment, Ling Jiu controlled the Rock Giant as he slammed a fist down.
Baaaam!!
Even the 1G gravity of the Earth that had originally acted upon it had also disappeared.
Without the shackles of gravity, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape flew upwards uncontrollably.
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape thrashed its limbs about, yet there was nothing it could get a hold on...
Baaaam!!
Ling Jiu did not let go of such an opening, and smashed another fist over. The t.i.tan Tempest Ape was struck dazed, its eyes blurred.
"Using three Arcanas at the same time drains too much Gene Arcana, I need to end this battle quick!"
Ling Jiu sighed inwardly. The Tungsten Form mixed with Rock Giant allowed his strength to surged limitlessly, and even match the t.i.tan Tempest Ape.
He would have loved to fight the t.i.tan Tempest Ape on a head-on brawl, but unfortunately, fighting this way was just too draining on his "Mana".
Ling Jiu knew that once the Gene Arcana in his body was completely exhausted, he would be a toothless tiger then, and the t.i.tan Tempest Ape would slaughter him.
"Roar!!!"
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape roared as it tried to turn around to attack.
At this moment, the 8G gravity came crus.h.i.+ng down again, and the t.i.tan Tempest Ape"s body was strong and could withstand the 8 times gravity.
Just as it t.i.tan Tempest Ape charged over, bearing the 8G gravity, it changed again, and the gravity was no longer pointing downwards but upwards instead.
A gravitational force pointing toward the sky?
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape "fell" uncontrollably toward the sky. Of course, in the eyes of the others, it was flying with its head facing upwards.
Before it could even fly into the air, the gravity changed again, and then turned downwards.
Baaaam!!
The t.i.tan Tempest Ape fell from the sky, and slammed heavily onto the ground, smas.h.i.+ng open a giant crater.
"This is gravity!"
"It can be increased or decreased!"
"It can be pointed upwards or downwards!"
"Against a strength-type Direbeast like you, gravity is definitely the best!"
In this ever-changing gravity, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape can forget fighting as it could not even stand steadily, so the result of the battle was obvious.
In the end, after Ling Jiu"s flurry of frenzied blows, the t.i.tan Tempest Ape died on the spot.
"He... won?"
"Captain Yang, he won!"
"That"s great! We"re saved!"
The Vulcan team members were overjoyed, and even the captain, Yang Gan could not help but to breath a sigh of relief. The t.i.tan Tempest Ape was dead, and they were now completely safe.
However, before Yang Gan could even cheer up, he saw the Rock Giant walk toward the iron lump he had thrown out earlier.
"Sh*t! He"s going to take the giant egg!"
Yang Gan"s expression changed drastically as he rushed out without even thinking. That giant egg was his, and no one could take it away from him!
"What is this?"
