Chapter 273: The Real Deal!
Chapter 273: The Real Deal!
Jim was shocked when he saw the faces of his enemies. He knew they were giants, but he never thought they would be Bulltors.
'They aren't the normal Bulltors you knew of,' but the next words of his old man left him speechless for a second, 'they look weak as they are devoid of their core for now. But I can assure you, there are Bulltors with their cores intact here!'
"Cores?" Jim was puzzled by this strange word.
'Remember that nasty looking hole in the chest of your Bulltor? It was originally the place of the naturally born core but got strapped off after getting birth.'
"How savage!" Jim felt anger towards what happened to his friend, Deno.
'Don't feel sorry for them now! You are going to have it hard if a group of those monsters appear here.'
Jim didn't know what the old man referred to but he had no time to ask. That gigantic monster was already flipping its body and in a matter of minutes, he would be thrown out of its back.
He had to reach that protrusion on its back and enter inside its body to be safe. As the warriors he summoned were converging fast towards that direction, he needed to reach there first.
Or things would get ugly for him!
Just the mere thought of falling off such a gigantic monster and falling to the ground made him squeeze the hilt of his sword. He had to reach there at any cost.
Even if he had to fight his way in the middle of those Deno brothers. He had to reach there no matter what.
"Sorry for that!" He took out one ore from his ring, an ore he once gained from his expedition outside the academy and inside the forest.
This ore was much different than the normal ores; its class and purity were unequaled.
So the moment he took it out, Jim felt a sudden gush of power inside his body. It was the power of ice, something he didn't expect.
"Time to get there in one go!" At the same moment he made sure to wield his wings and make them function. He didn't want to stop short of his target because his speed was lacking.
As he prepared himself by all the things he had, he didn't hesitate to point the sword tip to the ground. He didn't stop for his spell to get activated and kept running towards his enemies.
The number of enemies was getting bigger with each passing minute. Especially when Jim was moving closer to the pit that threw all them outside.
But the warriors of his reached the protrusion faster than him and started to kill their way towards it. This helped a lot in decreasing the pressure over him.
Jim also thought about summoning more to help him reach his destination. But the thought of losing them here made him refrain from doing that.
Plus the Bulltors in front of him all had empty holes in their chests, leaving him confident in his ability to bypass them all.
He knew Deno for enough time now to know the traits of the Bulltor race. They were strong without doubt, with heavy defense that could rival giants head on.
But they lacked enough agility and speed compared to him. In addition to the gears he had, he knew they wouldn't be able to catch him no matter what.
However he wasn't in a race to overthrow them behind. He was directly heading towards them. So one way or another he had to carve his path with blood, their blood.
And he already made up his mind for that.
"Sorry again," as he reached the first wave of his enemies, he had to shout this out loud, "one of your brothers is my brother in arms. But I have no intention of falling here. So die for me, please!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
As his spell was ready, he simply raised his sword and pointed it towards all of them. His attacks created long twisting arms of thick ice that instantly froze every single one of his enemies in a matter of seconds.
As for him, he was surrounded with his ball of golden white energy. He was moving fast, so fast that he even created afterimages while passing through every single one of them.
He tried his best to only hit those standing in his way and didn't go on a berserk of massacre here. First he had no time for that, and second that was his tribute for his friend, Deno.
"Impudence!"
Just as he was moving unhindered alongside his three warriors, this sudden shout came when a group of strong looking Bulltors came out of that protrusion.
Their appearance was no surprise for Jim or the old man. After all his intentions were clear and it was easy to know what he was aiming for.
The enemies held the upper hand from the start! Jim's main fear was for them to detonate or do something with the protrusion and close his only safe opening to escape this fate.
However with the appearance of such elite groups of Bulltors, it became clear that his enemies couldn't do that!
It seemed this protrusion was part of the gigantic flying monster. If they meddle with it, they might cause a stir and greater problems for themselves.
'Watch out,' the old man warned, 'they are the real deal!'
"I can see that!" Jim didn't look fazed while he watched the group of ten Bulltors with intact chests.
Instead of that big ugly hole in there, there was a piece of glowing crystal that looked cylindrical to the eye. The crystal was shimmering with thin arcs of blue light, dancing as if it was arcs of electricity coming from a source.
Just seeing it made Him realize how strong and different these enemies were. But the timing was wrong, so it was wrong to face them and try to have fun.
He had only a few minutes left, mostly three to four if he was lucky.
"I should get this done fast," he muttered while thinking about their main point of weakness, "let's put your speed to test, shall we?"
