Star Forge Titan

At this moment, the answer was obvious. Apparently, someone had temporarily stopped the robbers, which bought the farmers precious time to escape.

Looking at the two-headed ogre with an angry expression on his face after pulling his head out of the wall, the sturdy orc Gaoshan slowly took off the longbow hanging on his back, and walked towards the furious fat monster with bare hands.

"Monster, come and see me."

"What do you mean by—Fist Fighter's Justice!!!"

Chapter 20 Extraordinary Prototype

The orc Gaoshan is over two meters tall and appears much taller than most ordinary people.

But the two-headed ogre in front of him was more than three meters tall, and looked to be one-third taller than the orc walking in front of him.

Moreover, inside this body that is as fat as a pig, in addition to the massive amount of fat that can resist the penetration of weapons, there is also a huge muscle group that far exceeds that of ordinary humans.

It is precisely because of these huge muscle groups covered by fat that the ogre can exert powerful strength commensurate with its body size while being protected by thick fat.

Some of these special individuals are abnormal ogres who have had a "beer" belly since childhood but have an inexplicable love for fitness. They can even burst out at speeds that are completely inconsistent with their fat bodies in a short period of time through self-training.

I wonder if the two-headed ogre in front of me is such a special individual.

Anyway, Ivan vaguely remembered that in the late game, a bored player guild mass-produced a group of fitness-loving ogres. Wow, that scene was truly novel.

Of course, it's just a novelty...

Back to the two-headed ogres, these guys often have smarter brains than ordinary ogres. Although that is only relative intelligence compared to ogres, it still allows them to master some strange abilities.

For example, unstable flame explosion!

With a fart-like explosion, the mountain slowly walking towards the ogre was engulfed by the suddenly expanding magical flames.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"We're smarter than he is—"

The ogre burst into a cruel laugh, but the laughter only lasted half a second before it stopped abruptly like a duck with its throat strangled.

Gao Shan, with the color of gray granite, quietly walked out of the gradually extinguished magical flame.

Although he is a very enthusiastic person, he is also an adventurer who has been in this business for a long time. Naturally, he will hold back when it comes to people he just met.

Compared to the petrified skin on his arms, Gao Shan was actually able to complete the true combat state change of the Flowing Stone Fist in a short period of time, turning the skin all over his body into rock.

It is resistant to high temperatures and chopping, and because of the retained toughness of the skin, this layer of rock skin can even withstand a certain degree of impact. It is like close-fitting plate armor, and its defense is even better than that of rock skin, allowing the orc Gaoshan to walk out of the attack range of the fire explosion intact.

"Are you done? Then it's my turn."

From between the orc's protruding fangs, a beastly roar even more fiery than the previous "fire explosion" burst out.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!”

The ogre's eyes widened instantly. Both of their races were barbarians living in the desert wilderness, so naturally there were constant frictions between them.

Over the past countless years, God knows how many ogres were killed on the spot just by listening to the roar of the orc warriors.

At this moment, ancient rage and fear rushed into the two-headed ogre's brain, and it roared with its two bloody mouths, no less fierce than the previous one.

"I'm going to eat you!"

"Me too!"

The mace fell on his head, but the orc Gaoshan did not dodge.

He raised his right arm covered in gray-white granite, took a step forward to close the distance, and then swung a violent right punch!

With a blow full of courage and skill, the orc Gaoshan's fist hit one of the two-headed ogre's heads horizontally before the mace hit himself.

The impact that was transmitted directly from the chin to the soft brain made the head roll its eyes immediately. Even an ogre couldn't grow protective fat in the brain!

The monster's right hand lost control because it was half unconscious, causing the swung mace to fly out of its hand and smash into a house in the distance.

Suddenly, something strange happened. The remaining conscious head of the two-headed ogre immediately showed an expression of shock and anger. For a brief second or two, it was completely unaware of the existence of its half-brother!

"Dude, are you okay!?!"

The ogre's waking head couldn't help but scream as he instinctively resisted the orc's powerful fists.

After a while, the unconscious head shook violently as if it had just woken up, and then slowly opened its eyes.

"Is dinner ready?" the head said stupidly.

"Shame on this ogre!" screamed another head.

Taking two steps back and letting out a long breath of hot air, the orc Gaoshan raised his arms and once again assumed the shape of solid rock, which restored the rock skin on his body that had gradually faded over time.

"Second round." Gao Shan said in a deep voice:

The rock-covered fists were swung out one after another, making sharp hissing sounds in the air like arrows passing through.

When the quarreling ogres heard Gao Shan say this word, their seemingly slow and fat bodies reacted as quickly as an agile fat man. It seemed that their quarreling behavior just now seemed more like acting, but Gao Shan was not fooled.

Despite having put down their incredibly large bows, the orc archers' punches were still exceptionally sharp.

It's not the kind of jumping and showing off skills seen in some action movies, but a practical technique that requires both feet to stand firmly on the ground and use both hands to attack alternately.

Excluding the power brought by the special configuration, his boxing style looks closer to modern boxing, which is intuitive and efficient. Apart from feints, there are few unnecessary movements, and he also exerts extra force on weak points.

At the same time, the fist covered with rock skin can cause greater damage than normal. Even if it is just a light touch, the rough rock surface can cause a bloody mark on the opponent's skin.

However, things did not go smoothly. In the first round, the two-headed ogre was hit in the chin, causing one of his heads to faint for several seconds. This experience made him pay special attention to protecting his head. Besides the head, the ogre's body parts could not be easily penetrated by a pair of fists alone.

Those thick layers of fat are like flexible armor, able to absorb the impact of external attacks to a great extent.

In addition, the ogre has an amazing recovery ability, which makes it difficult for Gao Shan to cause fatal injuries to the opponent in a short period of time with his bare hands.

Looking at the orcs and ogres engaged in a fierce battle, Alvin began to realize a somewhat shocking possibility.

The boxing style popular in the silent desert area may be the prototype of some extraordinary fighting skills!

Unlike the completed and systematic extraordinary combat skills, the various schools of Desert Boxing often only have a few spell-like abilities, most of which can only affect the user himself.

Although truly mature extraordinary combat skills also have trade-offs in their strengths, they must be a systematic combination of multiple types of spell abilities that can assist and reinforce each other.

While having no obvious weaknesses, extraordinary combat skills will also choose to specialize and improve in certain aspects, in order to maximize the outstanding points with the most appropriate ability ratio.

Just like the extraordinary combat skill mastered by Alvin - Elemental Shell, which includes multiple abilities such as element manipulation and element shaping, and the most critical unique ability is element activation.

It is precisely because of the ability to activate elements that the elemental shells created by practitioners using other abilities can move autonomously according to the master's instructions.

This is comparable to a series of job promotion ceremonies that are organized in a systematic way with high and low levels responding to each other.

It is precisely because of this that extraordinary combat skills have become one of the most valued research results by all parties.

At present, judging from the time of development, it would not be surprising even if mature extraordinary fighting skills appeared in Desert Boxing.

Thinking of this, Alvin couldn't help but recall a name that the orc Gaoshan had mentioned to him before.

Legend has it that the Freedom Fists are following in the footsteps of the Fist of Sky, but does this Fist of Sky refer to a first-generation Freedom Fists leader, or does it represent a special boxing style secretly passed down within the resistance?

Or maybe, it is a person's title and also the name of the secret boxing style he masters?

This is where things start to get interesting.

Chapter 21 First Punch

The battle between the Mountain of Fat and the Fist of Rock continues.

Alvin was somewhat surprised to find that the Mountain King was actually observing the orcs' movements with great interest.

The giant black horse stared with its two big, round copper-bell eyes, looking very smart. It moved its front hooves from time to time, looking eager to try, as if it almost wanted to go on the field itself.

"Don't make trouble. You are a horse. How can you learn boxing?"

Looking at this scene, Alvin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After spending a few days together, he had already understood the horse's character. Although it looked tall and big, Shanwang was actually very naughty and a combative guy.

Even when staying in the stables of a temporary hotel, it would drive other horses, camels and other animals to the corners and occupy a large area in the middle.

But then again, Alvin had to admit that any male would feel his blood boiling after such a fierce fist-fighting fight!

The hand holding the reins moved slightly, and Alvin felt an emotion stirring in his heart. Although the guy with a dog head was an annoying lunatic, there was one thing he said that was true: fighting would indeed make people's adrenaline surge and experience the extremely real and strong sense of existence of life.

However, Gao Shan took the initiative to ask to use the fighter's method to understand the matter. Naturally, he would not make such an inappropriate move as snatching monsters before his teammates gave up voluntarily.

But, there is indeed a subtle itch.

Staring at the fighting movements of the orcs and ogres, Ivan's brain began to work rapidly. He recorded and analyzed the various information captured by his senses in different categories, and then began to do something he had been good at since his previous life - learning.

While studying, the somewhat distracted black-haired boy also noticed one thing.

Ordinary people living in the quiet desert area are indeed under various deadly threats at all times.

Looking at the devastated Oasis Farm, Alvin's originally excited mood for participating in his first adventure became heavy again.

He is not the kind of idiot who feels that everything is fine just because he came to another world. Because of the existence of empathy, even in a foreign land far away from his hometown, he will still feel uncomfortable when seeing innocent people suffer.

Because, this is not the right thing to do.

Thick smoke billowed from the burning houses, and the ground was covered with the still-fresh blood of innocent people.

The robbers and monsters, who originally had ferocious expressions, were now squatting on the ground with an honest look, but their brutality had already left indelible scars on this land.

The strong wield their swords against the stronger, and the weak wield their swords against the weaker.

Cannibalistic nomadic tribes, carnivorous bees, brutal bandit gangs that leave no one alive, barbaric tribes that use violence wantonly...

In a place as disorderly as the Silent Desert, even humans with the ability to think will quickly turn into monsters more cruel and ferocious than wild beasts if they cannot control the animal nature in their hearts.

With such emotion in his heart, Alvin did not stand still.

With his abilities, it would be easy to extinguish the ignited flame, and that's exactly what he did.

Seeing this, the other members of the adventure team, except Andre who stayed behind to guard the bandits, the halfling Lilim and the wizard began to do similar things.

This also made the farmers who were hiding in the warehouse and secretly peeking outside feel a little more at ease.

But at this moment, the two fighting parties are about to decide the winner.

After deceiving the two-headed ogre with a beautiful feint, the orc Gaoshan fearlessly approached the powerful monster and then swung an extremely heavy rock fist at the ogre's chin from a very close distance.

This was a very risky move, but it was also the fastest way to win that Gao Shan could think of.

For an orc archer fighting barehanded, the ogre's body is covered with an astonishing amount of fat under his skin, and the only parts where he can effectively strike with his fists are his chin and some vital parts.

So, he must take a risk!

Seeing that his nimble opponent was actually approaching him, the ogre immediately used his brutal and primitive intelligence to think of a way to kill him. He simply clasped his arms together and used brute force to squeeze the flea-like bug into a ball of rotten meat!

The ogre's fat arms folded inward with the sound of wind, creating an extremely strong sense of crisis for the orcs in the mountains.

But this also completely aroused the ferocity of the barbarian orc in his body.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!”

Taking a deep breath, the orc's war roar resounded through the sky, and Gao Shan's two rock-covered fists swung left and right alternately, hitting the two heads of the two-headed ogre almost at the same time.

The ogre's movements froze instantly, and it looked like it was struck by lightning and fell into a state of stillness.

but……

It doesn’t feel right!

The orc Gaoshan's heart suddenly sank, but he saw that the ogre who was hit lowered his head and gave him an extremely cruel smile.

This guy actually lowered his head before the fist hit him, blocking the attack with his stronger forehead. Although the impact on his head still made him dizzy, he managed to hold on and not fall into a state of complete unconsciousness.

The next second, the ogre suddenly closed his arms and hugged the orc tightly, causing the latter's bones to crackle under the weight.

The man-eating monster was about to grind the orc into a ball of meat with a wild laugh.

Suddenly, two cold lights flashed from the left and right, and the ogre immediately lost the feeling of his arms.

Andre, who had drawn out his greatsword at some point, and Ivan, who had drawn out his hand axe from behind his waist, both acted at the same time in perfect tacit understanding to stop the ogre's atrocities.

The violently swung metal sword, the spinning sharp hand axe, and the powerful arms of the cannibal monster that were strong enough to crush the plate armor like a can were easily cut down by these two weapons.

It didn't even hurt in the first place.

"Oh, how could that be..."

"This is impossible!"

Both heads of the two-headed ogre looked at their left and right arms with disbelief.
