Feeling the pressure was gone, Alexander could not help but catch his breath.
"This monster is so strong," Alexander muttered under his breath as he carefully observed the hulking figure before him, who was now watching him with equal intensity.
The large man with red skin took a few heavy steps forward, but then paused abruptly. His nostrils flared, and his eyes darkened with realization. The energy that had struck down his children earlier, he could feel it now, it was the sa kind that human in front of him is emanating.
"You... you killed my child! I'm going to kill you!" the red-skinned giant roared, his voice shaking the trees around them.
The scream echoed through the forest like thunder, reverberating in Alexander's ears, almost rupturing his eardrums.
Alexander instinctively stepped back, montarily overwheld by the sheer fury radiating from the red-skinned human like person. His body was tensed, and in a split second, he turned, ready to flee.
But before he could take a single step, the monstrous figure was behind him, moving with terrifying speed, as if the air itself parted for his advance.
A massive fist ca hurtling toward Alexander in a powerful, sweeping hook, the force behind it undeniable. His instincts scread, urging him to react, but he barely had ti to brace himself. Desperately, he crossed one of his arms, bringing them to his waist where the blow was aid.
The impact was imdiate and brutal. Alexander grunted in pain as the imnse force of the punch sent him flying into the air like a ragdoll. The world blurred around him as he soared upward, while his body spinning helplessly.
The arm he used to block the strike throbbed with searing pain, and he realized with horror that it was bent in an unnatural direction, twisted and red from the sheer force of the blow.
The pain was blinding, jolting him fully back into the mont. Still airborne, Alexander acted on instinct. Gritting his teeth, he reached out with his other arm, grabbing onto a low-hanging tree branch to stop his fall.
The sudden halt jarred his body, but it kept him from crashing into the ground below.
"Human! you dare trick earlier! You've just made furious!" the red-skinned giant roared, his eyes blazing with deadly rage.
With a furious snarl, he clenched his massive fist and slamd it into the ground with full force. The impact sent tremors rippling through the earth, and debris erupted into the air. The very ground beneath their feet quaked violently, creating an earthquake that shook the trees around them.
One by one, the trees began to uproot, swaying wildly before crashing to the ground. Even Alexander, who had taken refuge in a sturdy branch, felt the tremors. Despite the tree's impressive size and strength, it buckled under the pressure and began to fall.
He barely had ti to react before gravity took hold, sending him plumting toward the ground.
"What the hell is this strength?!" Alexander cursed in shock as he tumbled.
"System, wasn't this mission supposed to be just at dium difficulty? Why does it feel like I'm the mission is at the impossible level?" He demanded answers from the system, unable to comprehend how the giant's power had escalated so drastically.
"Uhhh. Just handle it yourself, Host. It's not like you're going to die," the system replied nonchalantly, as if Alexander's life was not facing a life and death situation.
"What do you an I'm not going to die?! I'm literally about to get crushed if that fist lands on !" Alexander retorted, frustration bubbling up inside him.
The casual attitude of the system during such a dire situation was enough to drive him mad, but there was no ti to argue.
The massive tree he had perched on began to buckle, the ground trembling beneath it. With no other choice, Alexander leaped down, landing heavily on the ground. His body tensed as he felt the enormous presence of the red-skinned giant bearing down on him with terrifying speed.
Without warning, the giant threw a straight punch, the sheer force of it sending a gust of wind that rippled through the air like a cannonball. Alexander barely had ti to dodge, twisting his body to the side with great agility, just in ti to evade the deadly strike.
Focusing intently on the fight, he pushed the system's uncaring problems to the back of his mind. There was no ti to think about anything else, one wrong move, and it was over. Continue reading at empire
Every punch the red-skinned giant threw was like a thunderous explosion, the force so powerful it created wind bullets that tore through the environnt with ease.
Trees were snapped in half, bushes shredded like paper, and the ground beneath their feet cracked and cratered with each missed blow. Alexander dodged with everything he had, while was sweat pouring down his face, his breath turned ragged.
His injured arm hung uselessly at his side, the bone was shattered and limp, needing at least a day to heal. Each dodge beca more desperate as the onslaught continued. The destruction around him was imnse, and he knew that one direct hit would an certain death.
"Boss, maybe we can talk about this? There's gotta be sothing I can do to make you forgive ," Alexander said, wanting to compromise.
He knew the difference in strength between them was like night and day, and he was grasping at his last straw to survive.
The giant, red-skinned man paused, glaring at Alexander with burning red eyes. A deep, guttural laugh escaped his throat.
"You killed my children, and now you want to bargain with ?" His voice was like thunder, filled with contempt.
"Human, I've been using only 10% of my power. If I were serious, you'd be nothing but just a puddle of blood by now. I'm letting you live because I want to. I'll go soft on you... just so I can torture you until death." The hatred in the red-skinned man's eyes was palpable, its like a living force that suffocated the air around them.
Alexander's eyes widened in shock, "That was only 10%? Are you serious?! I almost died from that destructive power, and he's still holding back?!" His mind raced, the sheer gap between their abilities sinking in like a cold wave.
"This mission is a total scam... the difficulty is insane!" he muttered to himself, disbelief swirling in his thoughts, he could not help but cry, but no tears was coming. It was almost too overwhelming to process.
As the liquid touched his tongue, he experienced sothing entirely different from anything he had
"Fuck those children, you can just cook them if you want to," the big man with red skin said, forgetting about the cause of this problem just a mont ago.
Alexander couldn't help but manage a broken smile as his brows trembled. He really wanted to smack his head with his fist, but he was too weak right now.
"Since you seem to have given a lot of your treasured wine. Here, take this. For I, Talon Ragnor, am an upright person and will not steal without giving you compensation." As he spoke, three blue crystal stones appeared on his palm and flew through the air, which Alexander caught.
