A huge cleaving blade at least three ters long flew into the giant's hand. He had twisted horns that jutted up from his pauldrons, and I could see red eyes glowing and staring at . The thing had a massive upper body and gigantic arms, but the legs were a lot shorter.
I rubbed my hands together, the guy was strong, but now I could fight one on one with him. I jogged up at the glaring giant down at , and I waved to him. He gave a strange tilting of his head and then swung the single-edged tree cleaver at , but I was ready.
I glued myself down and then blasted the sword out to the Iron Giant's hand with a blast of power, sending it flying far away from where it stabbed into the ground. I looked back at the Iron Giant again with a big smile, and I was sure that I saw the little glowing eyes squint at .
"What? I don't have a sword, or don't you think you can beat a little shrimp like ? Does the big rusty man need a sword to fight little old ?"
This ti it was a left hook, but I used the force gluing down to blast up in the air. I only flew up enough so that I could drop down on the left fist as it passed under . I glued myself down again and walked up the arm with my hands in my pocket.
Next, the giant tried to hit with his right fist, but that's what I was weighting for. I roundhouse kicked the fist into the head, knocking the helt off, but then I jumped away fast. I knew what was coming next, the big guy was just to see if I was worthy of the fight, now I would face an Iron Enchanted Plate Demon.
The suit shattered into pieces and I heard the other cheer from the back, but I put a hand up in the air. I waved one finger to say that this wasn't over yet. Now was the ti to get serious.
I used the power of the Gates and directed it to flow through my body, augnting my strength and speed. It was crazy to think I had never known I could do this. I always just relied on forcing the power out, but I was trying to drain a river through a garden hose.
Now, I understood that the Gate was an enhancer for my own natural abilities, but at the sa ti, it was a weapon without . My Bitch Slap Of God was the closest I had ever gotten to using the power correctly, but now I truly understood how to leave a mark.
The Demon Armor was slowly building itself back together, and I started to run at it, crossing the distance in a heartbeat. I tried to drive my fist into the midnight black chest plate, but I was blocked and then back ard across the plateau.
I had braced myself and was able to use the power to force my feet back to the ground, but the Demon Armor was on . I dodged a kick that would have decapitated , but I drove my hand pooling the power in it as I did, releasing on contact.
The Demon Armor was knocked back and into the air, but I had left a line of power attached to him. I forced the power to return to as I did to right myself, and the Demon Armor was ripped back to .
The Demon Armor wasn't going to let finish it that easy and t my fist with its own. The connection released a visible shockwave, but I was still planted, so the Demon Armor was knocked back again, my line of power snapping. I rushed forward, but the armor was already back up and in a fighting stance with one foot forward and the other back, but I didn't care. It was ti to bring out the big guns.
I stopped, but the Demon Armor held its stance, so I started to circulate the power through my body. Faster and faster the power started to move running up and down every line inside until I started to glow blue. So, this is what real power feels like; it was like I had just opened the tenth Gate, but all the power was inside of , touching every part of at once.
I stamped my foot down, and then I moved ten ters in a flash, drove my knee into the Demon Armor's chest, and then hamred it into the ground with both fists. The impact cratered the ground and I spun in the air, dropping down to drive my fist into the helt of the Demon armor.
The impact sent shockwaves outwards and the armor was limp now, the blood seal destroyed or whatever was controlling it. I let the power slow down and the glow slowly left my body. This power, and speed...and only two Gates were open, it was a hard pill to swallow, but now the challenge was over.
As I stood up, the armor below turned to dust, and then there was a light behind . I turned to see sothing lit up in the middle of the plateau, so I jogged over to it. I gave a quick glance over and my friends were all waving at , and that made smile. I was interested to hear what they thought of the new power, but first I wanted to see what was making all the light.
There was a small pedestal glowing in the center, but I was having a hard ti seeing what was on it. When I got closer I could see that it was just a small purple gem. The mont I touched the gem the light disappeared and the gem flew from the pedestal.
It slamd into my left forearm and buried itself halfway in. Then everything went black.
