Star Forge Titan

Jerome grinned and raised his arms, just like before, trying to block the destructive kick from the golden knight's phantom.

But at the moment when the two sides came into contact with each other, Jerome's expression suddenly changed drastically, and the speed was so fast that it was a hundred times faster than the Sichuan Opera face-changing in Ivan's previous life.

The Steel Armored Void was, after all, just a Void. So, despite the Golden Knight's impressive size, the punch he'd struck Jerome earlier was more imposing than effective. However, with the fusion force string controlling the power transmitted through the air, this flying kick was fundamentally different from the previous one.

"Hooa ...

The monster's screams resounded through the sky, but even louder than that was the roar of the earth!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like a heavy stone being thrown into a calm lake, with the golden knight's shadow landing at the center, the soil and gravel began to surge and wave like the surface of the water under the effect of the destructive kick.

The pit arena, which was already in a half-destroyed state, collapsed completely. Countless cracks spread rapidly in all directions, but due to the exaggerated effect of the force string, they were tightly confined within a radius of 30 meters. The result was that the completely collapsed pit arena began to sink further.

The monster Jerome who was in the middle of it was pressed into the ground alive by the terrifying force that was sweeping back and forth.

The audience who had no time to escape looked at each other in bewilderment at the scene happening in front of them, and then turned around and ran away. The excellent elimination mechanism of Silent Desert made them realize in an instant that this kind of excitement was not fun to watch.

On the other side, Alvin controlled the golden knight's phantom to float into the air again. Looking at the monster Jerome in the pit, which was covered in blood and gradually covered by fallen rubble and gravel, the black-haired boy's mind was elsewhere.

If the power that is controlled and transmitted back and forth is gathered together in one place, it will burst out with a power that is more powerful than the original one?

Learned a new usage!

Yes, the instigator of this scene now has the leisure time to think about the inspiration for his boxing style.

"Roar!" A completely violent roar came from the deep pit.

A wild figure covered in blood rushed into the sky at a speed that was totally inconsistent with his size.

The thin, deformed flesh wings behind him flapped to disturb the magic of the environment, thereby generating levitation thrust, allowing Jerome to temporarily break free from the constraints of gravity.

Then, his sharp claws whizzed through the air, like an extremely hungry tiger starting to hunt, wrapped in terrifying evil wind and astonishing momentum, and slapped the black-haired boy who was pondering the secrets of boxing.

The huge body did not affect Jerome's speed, and the excitement shining in its dim yellow eyes also showed that the physical pain did not bother this guy at all, and even made him become more brutal and violent than usual.

Blood, more blood, a horrifying voice echoed in Jerome's mind.

Only blood can feed the beast in one's heart, bring a moment of peace, and bring brief happiness.

Pain, more pain, a violent voice continued to roar in Jerome's heart.

Only pain can feed the worms of the soul and allow a moment of forgetfulness to take away the painful past that one does not want to recall.

Blood! Pain! Peace! Oblivion!

I'm already high...

Snapped! ! !

The golden knight's raised arm suddenly became extremely solid, while the rest of his body became even more ethereal and transparent than before, almost turning into an unclear shadow.

The virtual form of steel armor, or even the complete form of fighting steel armor, is ultimately an advanced use of soul power, similar to the soul armor ability mastered by fourth-level transcendents after reaching the peak.

Ivan, who had been to a higher place before, was naturally no stranger to this, so he easily completed the zoning adjustment of the virtual power ratio.

Therefore, the Golden Knight, who was more focused than the ordinary Steel Armor Hollow, only needed to raise his hand to launch a big fight.

An extremely ferocious slap landed directly on the face of the monster-like Jerome, causing his huge body, which was more than three stories high, to spin six or seven times in the air uncontrollably.

The attack was extremely aggressive and highly insulting, causing Jerome to see stars and lose consciousness, falling into a state of shock in which he completely lost the ability to think.

Just now, in less than a second, or to be more precise, in the extremely short moment of just one frame in the virtual game, Alvin relied on the bonus brought by his boxing skills and skillfully used the advanced combat skills he had mastered as a high-level player in virtual Paladia.

Now my physical fitness and the various talents and abilities I have mastered can already support the use of some advanced skills.

This method of disrupting the enemy's attack with an attack is one of them.

The initial inspiration came from the shield counter in other games, but cutting out the shield and then blocking and rebounding the opponent's attack was a bit cumbersome, so further advanced techniques were developed by players.

This is the no-shield counter.

Of course, it is undeniable that Jerome did put some pressure on Ivan at this moment, so it was worth it for him to use this technique.

At this point, Alvin has completed the test with words and actions, and has also completely seen through the true identity of the monster in front of him.

The incarnation of a certain Witch King...

This is a great opportunity. Even though the absolute strength is different, I can take this opportunity to preview how to fight a Witch King.

"The key to air combat is altitude." As he spoke about the energy air combat theory that had never existed in the material world (it is not ruled out that other realms have similar theories), Alvin and the golden knight phantom behind him simultaneously performed an extremely powerful stomping and backflip action in mid-air.

The person they used as a stepping stone was the monster Jerome, who was still in a state of shock after being slapped.

The next moment, the golden knight's phantom suddenly exerted force!

Jerome came to his senses and fell back into the pit with a helpless and furious roar, while the golden knight's phantom took Ivan and did a graceful backflip, and reached a height of more than 120 meters in the air with great agility.

One hundred and twenty meters, this is the height of a thirty-story building.

Such a distance and such a height are enough for Alvin to launch a dive attack even more powerful than before.

It must be mentioned that this was the inspiration given to him by his senior brother Brad's battle just now.

But true genius, turning inspiration into practical skills, often only needs—

Just one second!

Moonsault! ! ! (The moon returns to heaven)

RE:

Super!!!

lightning!!!

kick!!! (Reprint: Super Lightning Kick)

Chapter 126: Beast King Roars

The phantom of the golden knight leaped high in the sky, and his majestic body covered with luxurious armor was like a cold crescent moon cast in gold, outlining a perfect steel arc.

Immediately afterwards, surrounded by thunder and lightning, and entangled in fire and hot wind, Ivan and the huge human-shaped shadow behind him performed a standard flying kick posture in 100% synchronization.

Then the sky trembled as if the air was burning, and the earth wailed as if the rocks were surging.

The shadow of the golden knight was like a giant with the power of thunder and fire, wrapped in golden lightning and red flames, tearing through layers of atmosphere and kicking at the monster incarnated by Jerome.

At this moment, the people around had been dispersed by the Freedom Fist members hiding among them, and Brad, who was somewhat exhausted, was also evacuated to a safe area with the help of other Fist fighters.

But when he looked up and saw the magnificent scene covering most of the sky, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"One day, a brave warrior will appear. His fist can break the sky and tear the earth apart. That brave warrior will lead the people of the desert, dig out the evil dragons hidden deep underground, break their throats, let the living water swallowed by the dragons flow again, and let the whole earth be covered with oases."

"A legendary fighter, a legendary hero, could it be that the stories my master told me when I was little are actually true? Then why would I bother adapting them..."

Brad's question went unanswered, as everyone present was deeply shocked by the astonishing scene before them. The roaring and trembling atmosphere drowned out all the exclamations and screams.

[God's Wrath] activated!

【Blood of the Phoenix】Ignite!

[Immortal Body·Ultimate Steel] Strengthened!

“Hah————————————————————ha!”

The boy's roar and the roar of the atmosphere superimposed on each other, turning into a war cry louder than thunder.

The ultimate emotion of comprehending the true meaning of boxing, under the influence of the talent of [Divine Fury] that was sublimated from violence, further enhanced the strength attribute that had already entered the realm of perfection.

The immense strain placed on his body by the Steel Armor's Void form activated the Ash Knight class's core skill, Phoenix Blood. This surging vitality and powerful, violent primal magic merged and transformed, spawning a pure white life flame that quickly engulfed Ivan. Even the golden knight's phantom behind him was outlined in a dazzling pure white, becoming more condensed and detailed.

Finally, the branch enhancement talent derived from the core talent [Reshaping the World] made the active metal skeleton of the divine metal Orichalcum integrated into Ivan's body glow all over.

The magic power normally stored in the bones continuously flows out from the bones that also serve as additional mana pools. This not only further strengthens the overall attributes of the Titan bloodline, but also makes the golden knight's shadow enlarge again, reaching a height of fifteen meters.

Although this size is not too exaggerated compared to the real Golden Knight in the Giant God period, the monster that Jerome transformed into below is only a little over ten meters long, about the height of three stories.

So, what Jerome was facing at this moment was a huge golden knight who was half his height, surrounded by shining arcs of electricity and bright flames, and falling as fast as a meteorite!

"How is this possible!" For the first time, astonishment appeared on Jerome's face which was full of madness.

"The Dou Qi Armor isn't even finished yet! What the hell is this thing!?!"

He did not expect his doubts to be answered, and there was obviously something more important to do at the moment, which was how to withstand this destructive blow that seemed to be able to penetrate the earth as well.

King of Beasts Fist—Beast Tide Rushing!

Jerome summoned all his strength and used this monster's body to unleash the secret combination of boxing techniques he created.

A massive brown bear charging down the mountain, a massive killer whale leaping high out of the water, a northern ice lion with claws and fangs covered in solid ice crystals, a dragon-blood monitor lizard with sparks in its breath...

All kinds of animals, wild beasts, fierce beasts and even magical beasts with spell-like abilities, at this moment, all appeared as vague magical shadows under Jerome's crazy punches.

It was a powerful fist-like force, akin to a steel-clad, hollow form. The simulated beast-shaped shockwaves alone numbered nearly a hundred. True to its name, a vast army of beastly phantoms surged from the ground into the sky like a tide.

What greeted this wave was a golden meteorite!

The brown bear was smashed to pieces, the killer whale was torn apart, the ice-fang lion was kicked to pieces, and the dragon-blood monitor lizard was pierced directly as if it didn't exist!

The wave of beast phantoms seemed to be just shadows, and failed to cause any effective obstruction to Alvin. At most, it only slowed down the falling speed of the golden knight's phantom a little bit.

But for Jerome, this little time was more than enough. He was no ordinary half-blooded orc, but a true monster with the blood of a king! He was the king of beasts who ruled over all the beasts!

"Hu——" In front of the falling golden meteorite, the hideous monster took a deep breath.

Over a hundred of these fist techniques created phantom beasts, which was a considerable drain even for him. But compared to the ultimate secret of this move, those were just appetizers.

The abnormally swollen muscles became shriveled, and the blue-black skin showed signs of cracks. The massive vitality of the monster, which was more than three stories tall, began to wilte. The ground beneath its feet looked unusually like glowing hot lava surging from a volcano crater because it was madly absorbing the magic power of the earth veins.

With such a huge amount of magic power gathered at all costs, the moves used are naturally not ordinary.

The secret technique of the King of Beasts Fist - Beast King Roaring Wave!

A pillar of light, plain yet filled with extreme destructive power, rose from the ground and collided head-on with the rapidly falling shadow of the golden knight.

Boom! A circular, transparent shock wave visible to the naked eye spread rapidly outward from the impact point. The few remaining clouds in the sky were instantly torn into countless pieces, revealing an entire cloudless blue sky.

The pressure generated by the explosion at the moment even turned the moisture in the air into a drizzle falling to the ground.

"Ha...haha...ha" Jerome's huge monster body couldn't help but let out a heavy breath, but he quickly tried his best to look up at the sky.

The King of Beasts Fist is the ultimate boxing technique that Jerome created after using various means of cunning and robbery to collect various boxing techniques spread throughout the desert, combining it with his own century-long combat experience in the arena, and using his own bloodline characteristics to integrate the characteristics of various ferocious beasts from all over the continent. It took him decades to create this.

The secret technique, Beast King's Roaring Wave, draws on the most essential parts of this boxing technique, integrating and controlling the characteristics of more than a thousand ferocious beasts, and extracting the most essential food chain hunting laws from them, turning it into an absolute killing move of pure destructive power.

Anyone who is still alive and has not gotten rid of the instinctive nature of the survival of the fittest will not be able to survive this move safely.

But the tiny black spot that caught his eye made Jerome feel as if all the blood in his body had frozen cold.

There was no exaggerated thunder and flames, nor the gorgeous and dazzling phantom of the golden knight. It was like an inconspicuous bullet, easily penetrating the chest of the monster incarnated by the legendary gladiator.

At the same time, it also pierced through the heart of the beast.

Like a collapsing hill, the monster transformed by Jerome half-knelt down, his knees hitting the ground, raising a wave of dust.

"Your boxing skills are pretty good." Behind him, Ivan, who was back on the ground, had no scars on his body, except for a little blood stain the size of a fingernail on the tip of his right toe.

"I've learned my lesson." Under Jerome's incredulous gaze, the black-haired boy casually raised his hand, and the vague shapes of beasts immediately appeared around him.

"But there's something even more delightful." With his back straight, Alvin was like a spear, firmly stuck in the ground with incredible tenacity.

“It’s breathing techniques.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull roar came from underground, and Jerome tried to open his eyes as wide as if his eye sockets were about to burst.

Crack! The Sorcerer King Menes broke the armrests of the massive throne in the center of the magnificent sedan chair.

That's... Earthly Calling!?!

Chapter 127 Earth Vein Network

The key to the third level is here.

Feeling the pure magic power surging deep underground, Alvin silently maintained this strange breathing method that maintained a special frequency.

Although he hadn't seen the whole thing yet, he was certain that while this wasn't the complete Witch King's secret technique, it was at least a very important part of it. After all, the one he had just defeated was the incarnation of the Witch King.

Earth Breathing allows the user's own magic power to surge at a special frequency, thereby releasing a strange magical fluctuation outward.

Then, Alvin felt something staring at him. It was not the gaze of a human or other self-aware creature, but rather some colder, more mechanical, and absolutely rational existence.

Yes, it was like a surveillance camera, an electronic eye connected to the data background. In the previous life, when he noticed that he was being "watched" by such a thing, he would have a similar feeling to what Alvin was having at this moment.
