Chapter 197: Many Spikes!
In the gray world, a tiny man and a literal gigantic mountain of iron were facing each other. Such a Titan would have intimidated anyone, but not him. He was even taunting it recklessly.
"Hey, big guy. For your sake, I hope that you can't feel pain. As they say, the bigger they are and the more fun they are to dice apart! Or, the harder they fall, I guess, but whatever."
"Die...CRUSH!" The monster bellowed in a cavernous voice.
It was ti for Josh's signature move: the magical equipnt changing! He promptly wore his spider set and dashed toward the enemy fearlessly: he was just missing a transformation scene.
"CRUSH!" The creature shouted as it attacked.
Just as the creature's iron arm was about to slap him away, Josh sprung in the air and landed on it. He then began running at full speed on its limb akin to a god of war. But that's when he felt the monster's gaze on him.
He activated his Piercing Eyes and managed to notice the creature's eyeballs that were, in fact, big clear expensive-looking sapphires. Still, compared to the monster's body mass, they looked so minuscule! He could feel killing intent oozing out of them as the big guy locked onto him.
Was this the monster's weakness? He'd have to get up there sohow. But, following the stare, he felt a magical surge spread his way. That is when he sensed tremors as iron spikes began disorderly erupting toward him.
The spikes would raise up and down on their path in a vast AoE wave. Each looked like a sharp huge tallic needle with thorns on the side, and he didn't want to touch any of them! These would skewer him easily!
But that's when he noticed that in the chaos, there was order to be found. The needles followed a weird, peculiar rhythm with a tempo that seed to be 3-2-4-2-6. It reminded him of an old MMORPG he used to play.
He would have to get the timing perfectly right as he slipped into the safe zones amidst death. Sohow, this made his blood boil in excitent. He was ready to overco this new challenge.
"1…2…3…here goes nothing!"
Josh confidently dashed forward. He would rely on his sense of danger to guide him, akin to an experienced captain navigating a storm. The killing intent in the attacks helped a ton with that.
He felt alive. The thrill combined with the ample mana coursing through his body made it even better. He scaled the arm with the sa zeal he had been climbing the Tower with.
The creature grunted as it tried slapping him. Oh gosh, right at the worst timing too! He was already busy dodging an iron spike wave, and he could see the undefined hand approach. Was this how a mosquito felt? He threw himself sideways as the creature's slap resounded SLAP!
But now, he was falling. It was ti for an old MVP: Vine necklace! He used the vines to grab onto the arm and pulled himself back up. Sadly, all of the magical plants instantly perished right afterward. Their sacrifice would be rembered.
He resud running with the determination of a professional marathoner. How great would it have been if he could have ridden Nightmare here! anwhile, the creature was slowly dragging its gigantic limb back in the air.
Soon would co another round of slapping. What if he did that? He made himself as small as possible and invoked Nightmare a distance away. The poor horse had only spawned that a gigantic palm was landing on it. Talk about a great decoy!
With a despairing neigh, Josh's pet disappeared as soon as it had appeared. It had taken too much damage. But, it had survived, albeit barely. One had to rember that it had an ability that made it extrely resistant too.
Josh was almost up to the creature's shoulder. He only had one more attack to endure before he reached his destination. As he saw the giant prepare for its assault, he felt like trying sothing. This enemy could talk! What if it could show human-like reactions too?
Josh summoned his rat before picking it up. "There we go, catch!" He threw it right in the titan's face.
That's when the creature reacted on instinct and blocked it with its free arm. This bought Josh the ti he needed to creep up to its eyes. He turned his weapon into a pickaxe, enhanced it with as much mana as he could, and plunged it deep into the eye sockets!
The sapphires shattered into a thousand pieces as the creature bellowed in rage. It fell on its knees as it blindly swung its limbs all over before toppling over entirely. The colossal creature was down!
"How does that feel! Hahaha!"
Just as he was celebrating, sothing changed. The atmosphere of the entire realm beca oppressive as the creature suddenly disappeared, rging into the ground. Its voice was heard once more.
"All souls…die….ANNIHILATE!"
The Floor had been shaking when the monster had initially appeared, but now it was even worse! Just keeping his balance was challenging. That is when he saw appear at the horizon what looked like a damn tsunami!
Once more, it was an iron spike shockwave. But, these ones were so tall and big that they would have made Nightmare look like a very small poney at best. He had to sohow deal with this, but how?
Josh would have loved to have the ability to fly right about now. The only good news was that his mana was now higher. He could afford to use his abilities longer than in the past. He steadied his heart for the fights to co.
To escape these ones, he would have to jump extrely high, but how? He would need to use sothing to propel himself. That is when he got an idea. He resolutely activated his accessory set. It was Big Chungus ti!
His body instantly inflated like a balloon. The increased size would make it even harder to dodge, but he was now tall enough to reach the narrower top of the needles. His bigger hands would allow him to wrap his hands around it too.
He then summoned Navi. It probably wouldn't be able to do much, but it was better than nothing. "Survey the surroundings and tell if there is any weak spot in the enemy's attack. Also, do you have any information on this Boss?"
