Green Monster Epic

Chapter 544: Domineering? A Facade

Like a ball of fire, Allen sped ahead, with two figures behind him desperately trying to keep up.

"What a flashy bastard!"

Garfield had cast several layers of enhancement spells on himself and was exerting every ounce of his strength, yet he was still gradually being outdistanced by the hobgoblin in front. All he could do was grumble in frustration.

Elliot remained silent, his eyes intently fixed on the figure ahead that was constantly producing sonic booms. Even with Garfield's Lightness and Haste spells boosting his speed, he, like Garfield, was being left far behind by Allen.

After breaking the sound barrier, every increment of speed demanded extremely high physical and power capabilities. Even powerful Legends could only break the sound barrier when flying at full speed. Those who could accelerate beyond the sound barrier either possessed some innate talent or truly possessed overwhelming strength, forcefully pushing their flight speed.

However, Allen had no intention of simply relying on this brief period of flight to showcase his strength to the two Legends behind him. Instead, as he accelerated, he focused his mind and will, taking advantage of the remaining duration of the Frenzy skill. He began to condense the endless rage within his body into a liquid form, slowly channeling it into the Bone Splitter sword he dragged in his hand.

Flying at full speed, Allen and the others quickly arrived at the battlefield their team had chosen. The battle was still intense. With Allen and Fendi, two key combatants, absent, the team's efficiency in killing giants had slowed down. Fortunately, they had already killed two giants, freeing up several members, so the situation remained under the control of the Wildland Legends.

"Get out of the way!"

Allen, trailing a long tail of flames, had no intention of stopping. Instead, he charged directly towards his previous target, the high-level Legend giant now being held in check by Briar and Tim. Allen's warning arrived almost simultaneously with his charging body, reaching the giant. Briar and Tim, who were already struggling to hold the giant, had long since noticed the fiery and dazzling Allen and knew exactly what he was about to do. They had already used the force of being swept away by the club to fly dozens of meters away.

The Bone Splitter was raised high and then slammed down. The giant wooden club filled Allen's vision.

After neatly sweeping away the two little bugs, the cloud giant swung his club horizontally, intending to send the speeding Allen flying away like a baseball. Although this little fellow was quite strong and had been able to keep him tied up, preventing him from helping his companions, the giant had realized during their earlier exchanges that the opponent's strength and physique were inferior to his own. Naturally, the giant welcomed the opportunity to match strength with him.

"Roar!"

Roaring with rage, the cloud giant's eyes were full of confidence, mixed with a hint of mockery.

The giant club almost completely obscured Allen's figure, but the anticipated collision did not occur. Instead, there was a muffled 'thud' of something penetrating wood. The giant only felt the giant wooden club in his hand suddenly lighten. Then, the fiery, humanoid bug suddenly passed through his weapon.

Without any violent energy release or magical fluctuations, the bug was now like a lifeless rock, rushing towards the giant with his torch-like weapon.

"Ah!!!...%$@..."

The giant's heart was racing, and his mind was constantly issuing warnings. The instinct that his life was in grave danger changed the giant's expression. With his hands unable to retract in time, the giant could only abandon his ability to stay airborne and fall to the ground, trying to avoid the bizarre and powerful killing move and buy himself time to defend.

Allen's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and the Bone Splitter still resolutely slashed down. However, the point of impact changed from the opponent's neck to his head, which was much larger than Allen's height.

Whoosh!

As the giant fell, he tried to save himself. His limited number of spell-like abilities erupted from his mouth, with white clouds transforming into a giant wind blade, a colorful fireball, a giant python, or the shapes of unknown powerful creatures, all rushing towards Allen.

The magic-breaking runes on the Bone Splitter's blade had long been activated. The strange objects formed by the clouds had no time to display their full power before the Bone Splitter, carrying Allen's body, pierced through the densest part of the clouds without any hesitation.

Boom!

The giant's legs landed on the ground, crushing and snapping more than a dozen unfortunate trees, sending countless dust flying. Finally, having bought himself a moment to breathe, the giant pointed the diagonally broken club in his hand towards the sky. The club had barely extended a meter above his head when it collided with Allen's Bone Splitter.

Thud!

Crackle~~~

The originally sturdy club suddenly cracked at the point of contact with the Bone Splitter. As the giant raised his hand, the cracks grew larger and larger. When the club finally reached its limit, a pair of large hands fiercely clapped together towards Allen.

Clap!

The impact of the giant hands created a sudden rising hurricane, but the giant's palms did not feel any foreign object. However, where his eyes were focused, the flame was becoming brighter and more brilliant.

Thud!

In the end, the Bone Splitter still landed on the giant's upturned forehead in his horrified and helpless eyes. It did not hesitate because of the solid skull, but instead, carrying Allen's burning body, fell straight down, piercing through the giant's massive body, exiting from his lower abdomen and back, until the Bone Splitter's blade landed on the ground, and Allen finally stopped his body.

Crack!

At the point where the ground and the Bone Splitter made contact, a long and deep crack extended outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. Accompanied by a violent tremor in the ground, it stretched into the depths of the distant forest.

Crack!

Boom!

The cloud giant's towering corpse slowly tilted, crashing down after breaking countless trees, making a dull and huge impact sound that startled dozens of eyes around.

Still mired in the mud, vines, and various negative effects, the giants' eyes revealed a few traces of fear, and their faces had a few more traces of despair. After despair was an even more frantic counterattack, making the surrounding Wildland Legends caught off guard for a moment, quickly withdrawing their gaze from Allen and throwing themselves into a more intense battle.

Brigitte's eyes sparkled, and a look of infatuation appeared on her face as she gazed at Allen. The unmatched strength displayed by the tall figure before her was enough to inspire awe and admiration.

Whoosh!!

Allen remained in a half-squatting position, the Bone Cleaver deeply embedded in the cracked ground, held firmly by his strong arms, like a frozen picture. The Rage Flames that had been swirling around his body slowly dissipated as the Fury time ended, until the last wisp of orange-red flame plunged into Allen's body without him making any movement.

Not far behind him, Garfield and Elliott also had complex expressions. The seemingly unpretentious, yet powerfully energetic slash from before, though not aimed at them, had still triggered intense warning signals in their instincts, telling them of the danger within, enough to harm them.

At this moment, a sense of relief arose in their hearts. With the combat power displayed by the Gnoll in front of them, if there were to be friction or disputes between the two sides, it might not be the Gnoll leader Allen who would suffer the most, despite being outnumbered.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's starting to show off again!!"

Garfield lowered his voice, watching the motionless Allen with a sour look, muttering to himself.

Elliott had initially felt some frustration upon sensing Allen's formidable strength, believing his own power to be among the top tier of the legendary participants this time. However, after witnessing the Gnoll's heroic fighting spirit and absolute strength, he couldn't help but doubt his previous perception of himself.

But soon, Elliott adjusted his mindset, his eyes bursting with ambition and fighting spirit. He looked at Allen, his large, wrinkled, gray-brown hands clenching and relaxing from time to time, as if he had already made Allen his goal, completely ignoring his friend's grumbling.

In reality, how could they know that Allen wasn't deliberately posing and creating momentum in front of everyone to show off? It was just that the backlash from using the Sky-Opening Sword Style with liquid Rage for the first time in actual combat had torn his entire body's muscles, causing hairline fractures in his bones, and internal organ tremors, preventing him from moving easily. Otherwise, he would have made a fool of himself on the spot, wasting the aura he had created.

Fortunately, this opportunity was good, allowing Allen to condense Rage and adjust his body to its best state while traveling. He didn't waste any time after reaching the battlefield, striking directly at his target, thereby achieving his ultimate goal.

Otherwise, completing the process of condensing liquid Rage during a fierce battle would have taken at least 3-4 minutes, and no target would have allowed Allen to prepare so leisurely.

Once the Gnoll's powerful recovery ability gradually restored the torn muscles, and his body, which had become numb from the pain, slowly regained sensation, Allen endured the lingering pain and slowly stood up expressionlessly, saying to Brigitte, Tim, and the others: "I'll leave the rest to you!!"

"I'll stay here with these two to observe and learn more about the Giants' combat details."

"Okay."

"Understood."

Brigitte glanced unhappily at Garfield and the others, then turned back to Allen with a slight smile and responded. Immediately, she and Tim charged towards the Giant that the main attack force was besieging.

No matter how bitter or painful, since he had already put on this act, Allen naturally couldn't let it fall apart. Allen, whose muscles under his black scales twitched with every step, still maintained a calm expression.

"...In fact, most Giants can't fly. Among this team of 7 Giants in front of us, only two can fly, which is good news for us."

The Fury skill's cooldown period was also the time when Allen's strength was at its weakest. Taking the opportunity to introduce the Giants' situation to the two guests, Allen slowly recovered his energy without revealing anything.

"However, these Giants can basically use some spell-like abilities. The most important thing to pay attention to is the white smoke they spit out from their mouths, which is similar to a Dragon's Breath, but even more bizarre and magical. This smoke can transform into some kind of powerful spell effect, or it can transform into some kind of summoned creature, making it difficult to defend against..."

"Of course, what we need to pay more attention to is their powerful physical strength. They only use crude leather and bone armor, combined with their massive physical defense. Ordinary weapon stabs and slashes often don't cause as much damage to them as their recovery ability..."

Although Garfield had been sarcastic before, and the two sides had some unpleasantness, Allen always believed that the importance of the mission far outweighed the previous minor conflicts. The more familiar everyone was with the Giants' style and abilities, the more confident they would be in the next mission.

After adjusting his mindset, Garfield finally regained his usual refinement and calmness. At this time, his eyes scanned back and forth across the several Giants who were still stubbornly resisting, silently memorizing the various abilities of the Cloud Giants, and trying to find the Giants' weaknesses.

Elliott, who was with him, also watched the most powerful Giant in front of him with a serious expression, eager to try. Instead of passively observing the Giants' abilities, the best way was to personally participate in the battle, which would allow him to discover the Giants' abilities and weaknesses more easily.

"Chief Allen, can I go down and test the Giants' strength?"

The Ogre Heavy Shield Warrior Marcus was being hammered like a sandbag. Although he was still stubbornly blocking the Giant outside the central battlefield, his embarrassed appearance was truly unbearable to watch.

"But don't worry, Chief Allen, I just want to personally feel the strength of a Legendary Giant. I don't want to take this opportunity to interfere with the distribution of your team's spoils."

Allen turned his head, his gaze meeting the other's frank eyes, and felt the fighting spirit in the other's heart. He wanted to refuse, but when he looked back at Marcus's embarrassing situation, and the trajectory of the two behemoths had already deviated from the main battlefield by a considerable distance, Allen finally nodded slightly, indicating his permission.

Having obtained Allen's consent, Elliott, who had been itching to try, immediately turned into a cannonball and shot straight out.

At this time, the mechanism of the pair of gauntlets on Elliott's hands had been opened at some point, and several sharp teeth emitting a ghostly blue luster stretched out from the gauntlets. As Elliott raised his hand and sent it forward, the slender body of the Pain Troll agilely passed through the iron curtain formed by the giant wooden club and slammed fiercely into the Giant's abdomen.

"Aaargh!!!!"

A series of shrill screams filled the basin forest, slowly dissipating around.

New month, stopped updating for 4 days last month it seems, not bad not bad
