Floating Island - Triple S Talent

"Prepare yourself, cute lava doll," Lein muttered, his gaze burning with excitement. Adrenaline surged through his body as he raised his golden sword, igniting a two-meter-long golden light along its blade. He stood firm atop the vortex plate, ready to attack like a meteor descending from the sky.

As Lein rushed toward the lava golem, the giant raised its massive hand, preparing to hurl a blazing fireball. But Lein was even more prepared. With agile movements and sharp reflexes, he spun to the side, evading the fireball that shot past him with searing heat.

"Slash!" he shouted, the sound of his sword slicing through the air, emitting a sharp gleam as it swung toward the golem's seemingly fragile joint.

Lein's first slash generated a wave of golden energy that struck the golem's arm joint, followed by four shadow sword waves trailing closely behind, as if determined to ensure the attack landed.

The damage notification from the first slash rang out, surprising Lein with the amount of damage he inflicted. The previous battle with the Hard-Shelled Turtle only resulted in 15 damage points, but now his main slash delivered 450 points, and the shadow sword waves added over 200 points each.

The notification sounds echoed in Lein's ears. He was stunned by the numbers displayed. In his earlier fight against the Hard-Shelled Turtle, his single sword strike (Sky Sword Rain) only inflicted around 15 points of damage. But now, his primary slash scored 450 points, and the shadow sword waves contributed over 200 points each.

"Arrrgh..."

The lava golem roared fiercely, its voice shaking the lava pool surrounding it. The pain from Lein's attack triggered the golem's fury, and without hesitation, it unleashed more fireballs, attempting to rain attacks down on him.

"Heh, come on... hit me again!" Lein laughed with satisfaction, enjoying the thrill of dodging the exploding fireballs. The golem's large, somewhat rounded body reminded him of a giant teddy bear he once saw in a toy store on Earth. Despite the danger, there was an undeniable cuteness to it.

Using the vortex plate's teleportation, Lein appeared and disappeared from one side to another, effortlessly evading the fireballs hurled by the lava golem. The tool's flexibility allowed him to move across kilometers in the blink of an eye, making the battle feel like a game of whack-a-mole.

With each teleportation, Lein took the opportunity to launch another attack, gradually depleting the lava golem's soul energy. In less than 10 seconds, he managed to reduce the monster's energy by almost 10,000 points.

The lava golem didn't remain idle. The surrounding lava pool now bristled with giant skeletal claws, towering ten meters high, ready to snatch Lein at any moment. These claws opened wide like carnivorous flowers, waiting to ensnare their prey.

"Argh..."

The golem's growls grew harsher, and the heat around it intensified rapidly. Thin orange bubbles formed around its body, expanding and becoming more impenetrable. Lein observed from a distance, narrowing his eyes as he noticed the golem's energy surging.

"Ah, so you're activating the (Inferno Rampage) skill?" he muttered softly, standing atop the vortex plate while keeping a close watch on the monster's transformation. The lava golem's soul energy was now down to just 12,000, but the reddish-orange shield enveloping it had grown to a diameter of twenty meters, ready to explode at any moment.

"Damn, this bubble is huge," Lein said as he eyed the golem's shield, which had reached a 20-meter diameter, glowing red as if about to burst.

"Boom..."

A massive lava eruption burst forth from the golem's body, spraying with incredible force and covering a thirty-meter radius. The blast was so powerful that the red-hot lava spread like a wave of death, threatening to burn everything in its path.

[Your body received 150 points of damage...]

[Your body received 12 points of damage...]

[Your body received 12 points of damage...]

Despite the wave of heat hitting his body, Lein suffered minimal damage. Even after taking the brunt of the golem's massive explosion, he only lost 150 health points—an insignificant amount to him. While within the thirty-meter radius, the lava's burn effect continued to deal 12 damage points per second for five seconds.

"Why does this feel like nothing? Am I really this strong?" Lein chuckled, a hint of arrogance in his voice. The lava golem had used its ultimate skill, yet the result was disappointing.

"Maybe it's because this is just a level B monster," he thought. Without dwelling too much on it, he pulled out a black sword from behind his back.

"Alright... let's use both," he said with a faint smile, eyeing the golden sword in his right hand and the black sword in his left. With both weapons in his grasp, he looked like a swordsman ready for a deadly duel.

"If I had royal silver armor, I'd look like a complete knight," Lein joked, imagining himself in full armor. But he quickly dismissed the thought, refocusing on the ongoing battle.

"What?" Lein froze for a moment, surprised by the effect of the black sword he had just wielded.

"Oh right... I almost forgot about 'Master Black's' ability," he said with an amused smile. He had become so accustomed to using the golden sword that he almost forgot the special power of the black sword now hanging in his left hand.

Before his eyes, the lava golem froze. Its large head drooped like a sleeping child. "How does this monster look cuter than most kids?" Lein thought, finding the golem's submissive posture amusing.

"Alright... it seems I've wasted enough time."

"Alright, it seems I've wasted enough time," he said, his gaze turning serious once again. Without hesitation, he moved the vortex plate toward the lava golem, preparing for a merciless finishing blow.
