As soon as the Earthen Kong noticed him, a boulder was imdiately blasted at him.
Woosh!
Zold expressionlessly raised both of his hands. With one stroke, he cleanly split the boulder in half.
Not expecting him to survive, the Earthen Kong's eyes lit up.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
The Earthen Kong swiftly moved through the open enclosure, grabbing anything it could set its eyes on and throwing it towards Zold.
But for each one, Zold countered perfectly. Every ti his hands moved, the objects were split in half, not even touching the fabric of his clothes.
From a distance, the woman reunited with Jake and watched Zold with a shocked expression.
Jake was also watching, awed.
'Strong…!'
But very quickly, the woman snapped out of her daze and looked at Zold gratefully. She grabbed a hold of Jake's arm and teleported away, vanishing from the open enclosure.
The two of them reappeared in the open area.
Focused on his battle, Zold didn't notice them.
He wanted to end this quickly.
The thought that other children may still be wandering in the Zoo weighed heavily on his mind.
Seeing that its attacks don't work, the Earthen Kong roared.
ROAR!
It slamd both fists against its massive chest, each impact booming like a war drum.
Zold's eyes narrowed,
At that mont, the Earthen Kong slamd both of its fists on the ground.
Boom! drrg…!
A deafening sound echoed in the enclosure, generating a powerful shockwave.
Zold was forcefully pushed a few steps back, turning solemn.
He instantly established one rule.
Don't get hit!
If he gets hit by at least one of the Earthen Kong's attacks, he would turn into a mush of blood.
Drrg!
At that mont, monoliths rose from the ground erratically, shaping the battlefield.
'... An earth manipulation skill?'
Zold frowned, feeling that it was getting troubleso.
This was bad.
He can't be on the defensive all the ti.
The Earthen Kong roared, swiftly jumping from one monolith to another.
Woosh!
It took only about two or three seconds for it to reach Zold's location.
Looking at the massive Earthen Kong hanging on a monolith close to him, Zold raised the vermillion red saber and pointed at its face.
Not seeing the reaction it expected, the Earthen Kong clenched its fist and jumped towards Zold!
Woosh!
But Zold had already moved away, rolling on the ground.
Using his quick reflexes, he quickly stood up and jumped in the air!
[High Jump]!
With one of the skills he obtained from a Tier I Beast, he managed to jump six ters high, just before the Earthen Kong landed on the ground.
BOOM!
With the Earthen Kong's massive body, the ground fractured, and the nearby monoliths were shattered by the shockwave!
Zold's eyes turned sharp, finding an opportunity!
He controlled the vermillion red saber and threw it towards the Earthen Kong's body.
Woosh!
Unable to dodge, the vermillion red saber struck the Earthen Kong from the back, opening up a sharp, thin wound!
The vermillion red saber was unexpectedly sharp, even sharper than a real weapon!
The Earthen Kong's body was extrely sturdy, reinforced by the elent of earth, even a bomb wouldn't be able to leave a dent on it!
Yet the vermillion red saber ford solely from Zold's spiritual energy could do so!
A fla erupted from the wound, leaving a few scorch marks on its flesh.
ROAR!
The Earthen Kong felt a sharp pain in its back, making it roar!
What was Zold's confidence in challenging a Tier III Beast as a newly awakened?
Although he had lost all of his forr skills, effectively being reduced to an ordinary awakened…
There was one thing that Regression couldn't take from him!
His mastery of everything!
Due to his talent, he attempted to learn everything in his previous life, mastering the most mundane skills and transforming them to a skill on their own!
One of his most unrivaled masteries created a self-made skill, [Formlessness].
[Formlessness - The ability to shape your spiritual energy at will, controlling its softness, hardness, sharpness, or bluntness. Precision so perfect that the energy itself becos a weapon.]
Using this, Zold could freely defend and attack with his spiritual energy alone.
Although its strength wholly depended on the quality of his spiritual energy, for Beast-classes, it was more than enough.
The vermillion saber imdiately disappeared after it landed.
Zold landed on one of the broken monoliths.
Woosh!
Imdiately after, he jumped towards the Earthen Kong!
His leg muscles tightened, doubling his speed!
[Muscle Tightening]!
Before the Earthen Kong recovered, it felt sothing land on its back.
Zold raised his hand and swiped it on the back of the Earthen Kong's neck.
[Infernal Claws]!
[Formlessness]!
Sharpening his spiritual energy to the maximum, his fingers carved deeply into the Earthen Kong's flesh.
The Earthen Kong's eyes turned bloodshot, screaming in anguish.
ROAR…!
The back of its neck was torn apart, releasing heavy amounts of blood.
But Zold was not finished yet.
Even as the Earthen Kong struggled, he latched on to its back and released a flurry of claw attacks.
Woosh! Woosh!
Ssh!
Even if the Earthen Kong's body was earthly brown, scorched burn marks had appeared on its back, charring its sturdy flesh.
Zold put his everything into each attack!
The Earthen Kong relentlessly struggled, jumping all over the place.
It even attempted to slam its back on the ground!
But Zold was like a pesky parasite, imdiately moving towards the Earthen Kong's head.
How could the Earthen Kong outsmart a man who went through death and beyond?
The Earthen Kong was not the strongest, and neither was it the largest of his forr foes.
He had fought Titans with his small human body, clashed with Dragons with his fists!
It was simply a one-sided match from the start!
Helpless, the Earthen Kong couldn't do anything but scream gruesoly.
Ssh! Ssh!
Its body was already full of wounds, profusely bleeding on all sides.
Scorch marks appeared throughout its back, leaving a charred, grueso sight.
"Roar…"
Then, finally—the Earthen Kong's eyes turned lifeless as it fell on the ground…
Thud!
Zold jumped away from its body, gazing at it expressionlessly.
He tried to summon a vermillion red saber, but it could only appear for a second before vanishing,
In an effort to kill it as soon as possible, he went all out in his spiritual energy usage!
At that mont, Zold shifted his gaze to his hands.
"It seems…"
He suddenly sighed as he shook his head.
"I'm not used to being this weak again."
All over his body, sharp, thin wounds suddenly appeared, making him profusely bleed on all sides.
The Earthen Kong's attacks generated powerful shockwaves, blowing off sharp stones and debris around the enclosure.
With his current strength, even if he knew they were coming, he couldn't dodge them perfectly.
While his skills were amazing, his body was rely ordinary.
'My body can't keep up with my strength…'
After recovering for a mont, Zold couldn't forget about the children potentially still roaming in the Zoo.
He quickly split open the Earthen Kong's body and took its Spirit Orb, its size double of that of the Pyre Lion's orb.
Zold pressed his palm against its surface, absorbing it fully.
