Adam didn't just rush into the fight. Instead, he popped up from the ground a few miles away from where the tal Eaters were waiting to jump him.
tal Eaters and the giants were natural enemies. When they t, it was all about fighting until one couldn't fight anymore.
Right away, the tal Eaters turned and got ready to face Adam, forming a cone shape and heading his way.
They were all super powerful, but each one was a lot weaker than Adam. They weren't even as tough as mage apprentices.
However, they were smart about working together. Even though there were more than a hundred of them, they moved and fought as one unit.
They started by shooting a liquid at Adam that he couldn't see or sll. Adam could tell from the way the liquid reacted with the air that it didn't have any power on its own. But when it ca out of the tal Eaters, so kind of special force made it stronger and faster, almost like a magical storm coming at him.
Adam crossed his arms in front of him, and the little light in his Vital Generator started pumping out power. Bright lines showed up on his body, sending energy to his hands. He made an electromagnetic shield that stopped the liquid's strange power and held it in the air.
This plane was really a forgiving one. The electric and magnetic stuff happening didn't cause any fuss.
Maybe it had sothing to do with these creatures being made of tal. After all, tal, electricity, and magnets often go hand in hand. Maybe so creatures here had figured out how to use those powers too.
Anyway, this was a big plus for Adam's ability to keep himself safe.
The shield he made sent the liquid zipping back at the tal Eaters. They didn't think twice and opened up, ready to gulp the liquid back down.
"Not too bright, are they?" Adam thought to himself.
While the liquid was hanging in the air, it got squished together, making it much heavier. When it shot back, the strong magnetic field made it hit like bullets.
These powerful creatures had certainly noticed the big change, but they still went to catch it. They must really trust their tough skin, or maybe they just weren't that smart.
***Bang, bang, bang, bang!***
The liquid smacked into their mouths and bodies with soft thumps, making their insides look out of shape. They stopped moving forward for a bit.
"They're smart but too sure of themselves," Adam thought.
The liquid that hit them splashed everywhere, quietly eating away at the ground and making holes. Adam carefully made his electromagnetic shield cover him all over. It looked like the tal Eaters had co up with this liquid just to take on beings made of tal. Getting hit by it would definitely be bad news.
The tal Eaters' lineup got a bit ssy, like they didn't see this coback coming.
When they saw none of their group was gone, they kept moving forward.
They changed from a cone shape to more of a spread-out fan. The one in charge, looking like a big bug, shifted color a bit, turning into sothing like a power station, making the force field stronger. The force field got so strong that little whirls of energy started to show up on it. After just a tiny bit of ti, they let loose a heavy shower of liquid.
"They don't have many tricks up their sleeve. Is it because they're low-level creatures?"
Adam wasnt going to just stand there and take it. Power from the generator moved to his legs, and flas shot out from his feet, lifting him up and away from the attack just in ti.
The liquid shower stopped mid-air and then changed direction to follow Adam. A second later, the tal Eaters were right behind him, with more whirls showing up on the force field.
Adam changed shape while flying, turning flat with lots of gun barrels popping out all over him. Power built up in no ti, and he fired a bunch of tight fireballs.
When the fire hit the liquid, the two forces clashed and wiped each other out, making a bright fog. Even with the big show, the tal Eaters were just fine.
"They're really good at blocking energy."
Adam changed again, this ti into a big, heavy sword. He turned on the electromagnetic magic full blast, and loads of electricity zipped around him fast. He turned into a missile and dived down, cutting right through the tal Eaters' spread-out shape and stopping just before he hit the ground.
Following that ca the sounds of Adam breaking the sound barrier, the soft thumps of bodies hitting the ground, and the quiet hiss of the corrosive stuff lting rock reaching him.
"They're not so good at handling a real hit."
Adam got a bit banged up too. Touching the force field and getting splashed with the tal Eaters' blood ate away bits of him. But for a being made of tal, this kind of damage wasn't a big deal. As long as his core power source and his inner spark were okay, he could fix himself up quickly.
The tal Eaters weren't so lucky. Adam's electric sword took out a third of them. The leader, now only half its original size, let out a mad yell. The ones left got back into formation, powered up their shield again, and ca at Adam even more madly than before.
Adam figured out the tal Eaters talked to each other with really low-pitched sounds. These sounds didn't carry much power and could only share simple stuff, which ant the tal Eaters weren't super smart.
By now, these natural foes had done their bit in testing Adam out. Even though he was kind of curious about what would happen if he got bitten, he wasn't about to try it himself. He figured this kind of info wasn't hidden. Considering what he had seen about ntal beings, he had a feeling that they were pretty easy to get along with, and it shouldn't be tough to pick up common knowledge from them.
The way Adam's energy setup worked, borrowed from magical arrays, was all about using power efficiently. After a few rounds of fighting, his core power hadn't gone down much, and he still had plenty left to take care of the tal Eaters.
Ironburg was a key spot for the Spark Federation, right on the edge of their land. Past Ironburg to the west was a no-go zone, crawling with tal Eaters, the sworn enemies of the Titans.
The Titans nad this planet Titania.
A massive fight between the two sides a hundred years back had cost both sides half their numbers. In the hundred years since, big fights were rare, but smaller clashes happened all the ti. This current fight was just a bit bigger and deadlier than usual, but it was sothing the Titans were used to dealing with."
