Last Ruler Of The Empty Throne-Chapter 102: Second realm Ape I
Even with the power he applied, he was pushed back.
’Ugh...’ With a groan he endured the rattling pain the spear was taking against his hand. It was a first. Anytime he fought with his black rod, it never rattled against him.
However, it was now happening. Jon frowned as he looked up to see the monster that just attacked.
It was an ape of about 3 meters in height. It was dark in color but radiated a brown aura. However, the aura was another thing. It was thick, darker than even those power bears he had fought previously and the pressure it was applying to him was different.
’Where did it come from?’ Jon narrowed his eyes and scanned the ape. Jon was at the ending of the first realm, so there was not meant to be a monster that could match him, considering he was already killing first realm at the unranked.
However, this one was different. It felt like a higher version in existence. It didn’t make sense,
’Unless,’
-Yes, that’s a second realm.
Like a lightning exploding in his mind as Amelia told him.
He didn’t think they would start appearing. Not many of them in the camp had even entered the first realm and a second realm monster was already here.
And who was to say if one arrived, a second couldn’t.
’So, they have started appearing.’ He exhaled deeply and focused.
He couldn’t take this lightly. One misstep and his head would go with it. He gripped his spear again and took a stance. His aura, moon energy, mana and even ’One strike’ was applied.
Bluish fog began emanating from him, he even made a cloud clone beside him.
’Exactly, you can’t take it lightly.’ Amelia made space for them and watched the situation. But, that didn’t mean he would win.
The brown aura from the ape moved to the ground and the ground began rumbling,
RUMBLE....
Without waiting for anything, Jon sped to the ape and pierced out including ’One strike’ However, from the rumbling ground a pillar made of earth was raised and met the strike.
BOOOOM
Though, the pillar was not able to block the continued advancement of his spear, it reduced the power and speed. Making the ape able to block it.
BANG
The ape been pushed back lifted its leg in the air and earth spikes as large as half himself rose from the ground all around the area.
WHOOSH
Employing his two movement techniques, he began frantically weaving through the spikes. With that time, the ape was able to regain its balance and stomped the ground.
All the spike went down and weapons formed from earth began to form around it. And as they formed, it hurled them at Jon. Not giving him time to adjust.
Jon also had to shot his web continuously at the weapons approaching.
WHOOOOSH
As he was blocking from his front, the ape suddenly appeared at his left side with its fist coated with earth and thick brown aura and punched out.
Immediately morphing his spear in a shield, he defended against the strike,
BANGGGG
"Urgh..." he was pushed back.
His newly healed wounds began to open, however he didn’t try to stop it and prepared to defend again as the ape already reached him again.
BOOOOOOOM
"Arghh..." he was blasted away with the attack.
BANG
He landed heavily on the ground and immediately rolled on the ground to dodge the spike that had begun popping out around him.
He rolled to a thick tree and stood immediately preparing himself,
’One strike is useless, stopping movement is useless, but my physical ability is slightly better.’ His brain was already spinning, calculating his advantages and disadvantages in the fight.
Then, using another 100 points, he formed a spear from webs and morphed his spear into a shield.
’Go.’ Immediately, he boosted towards the ape from the tree. The ape too started raising so many earth pillars to block the dangerous web spear in his hand.
However, Jon wasn’t going to retreat. He ran further as even some earth weapons were been hurled at him.
BANG...BANG...BANG...
He used the shield to block the hurling weapons and pierced forward with his cocoon web. ’Pierce’ He muttered as the spear cleanly passed through the pillars set up for defense and reached the ape.
ROARRRR
The ape roared and exploded a thick brown energy from his body. The ground rumbled and earth was ripped out of the ground.
However, could that stop his will to pierce it.
PTSHUU...
ROARRRR
The cocoon spear went through the shoulder of the ape. It had moved its body in the last minute and avoided an injury to its chest however it was still blasted away from the release of its energy.
"Haa...Haa" Watching the blasted away ape, Jon began catching his breath. ’Clones’ with a thought, three cloud clones appeared around him and they began running towards the ape.
Using an earth pillar to slow down its retreat, the ape grunted. After the area cleared, it now saw four of the same person he was fighting.
ROOAARRR
With a loud, it boosted of the pillar it landed on towards the approaching Jon. Reaching 10 meters to Jon, the four versions of Jon pierced out.
RUMBLE...
With a shake to the earth, the next step the ape took lifted the ground beneath it up to the sky, and the pillar took the brunt of the attack.
Then earth spikes began appearing all around the area. The spikes covered the area and were larger in size than the ones it had used previously.
CLANG...CLANG...CLANG
’Fuck...’ Unable to dodge the spikes this time, he collided head on with his web spear. And without waiting for him, a shadow was cast over him.
’The hell...’ Looking up, the ape was above holding a massive hammer made from earth and slamming it down.
BOOOOOOOOM
The impact in the ground was resounding, thankfully he had activated ’Double jump’ to avoid the full impact, however he was blasted away in the sky.
"Fuck...Just die." Cursing the ape, he used ’Double jump’ in an impossible way. He placed the skill effect vertically in the sky instead taking him horizontally when doing double jump.
And like that,
[YOU HAVE FORCIBLY EVOLVED ’DOUBLE JUMP’]
[’EXTRA STEP’ (SECOND REALM) LEVEL 1: YOU...]
He didn’t bother with the message, in the air he turned his body and shot forward. It was like pushing against the air like a catapult.
He cocked his hand back and threw the web spear still in his hand and muttered, ’Destroy’.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
ROOOOAARRRR
As the spear landed, the ape roared in what sounded like pain as the explosion engulfed it.
And strangely it seemed Jon was even crazy as he was entering the explosion. However before he entered the explosion he raised his hands, packed with telekinesis and clapped it together.
BOOOM
Like that, the explosion cleared immediately.
Looking at the ape now, it was now bleeding from different parts of its body, and it hadn’t lost any its body parts. .
ROAAAARRRRR
It roared in rage as it stomped the ground and prepared spikes to pierce Jon who was falling towards it.
However, before Jon could reach, he used the sky to lift himself up. In the air, he briefly closed his eyes and his full body began to glow blue.
The sky above him darkened, the clouds and clear sky disappeared. It was like it was night, and something happened,
The shape of the moon began to take shape behind him. A full bluish moon, so large it covered the sun that was already setting.
He then lifted his hand and put his index and middle finger together. An intense moon energy formed on it. He opened his eyes and said,
’"Moon Descent: Fall"’
His voice that sounded like hundreds of voices and the downward motion of his finger,
Immediately he said it, a blue light descended from the moon behind him and hit the ground.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
...
Alexa and Gar’al had to continuously keep retreating as the shockwaves of the fight kept spreading.
"What kind of enemy is that?" Alexa asked. She didn’t expect Gar’al to have an answer or anything like that, however he surprisingly did.
"Second realm," Gar’al said as they kept retreating.
"W-What?" Truthfully, Alexa had never thought of anything like that. She lived her life only in the present. And when the future came, she would deal with them. Now hearing second realm, it was something that was meant to be in the far future.
"B-But we don’t even have a lot of first realm fighters." Alexa was confused at the situation. How were they meant to survive if things were moving so fast like that.
"Then, we need to evolve faster than we already are." Gar’al replied as if that was the only answer to the situation.
Alexa couldn’t refute his words. That was truly the only way to survive now and in the future.
Suddenly, the sky became dark,
Turning their heads to that direction, they saw a large moon that wasn’t there before.
It was as if the moon had actually descended from space.
"Dear heavens..." Alexa shook her head and began sprinting further. They couldn’t even imagine the scale of the fight going on now.
"Let’s move faster." Gar’al said and they ran further.
...
Amelia was receiving another shock of which number she couldn’t count,
She had thought the only method he had was that devastating attack he used. However, his physical abilities didn’t even lose out to a second realm. He was only lacking in depth of his skill and mana.
However, what was with the moon that she was seeing. If this wasn’t reaching a depth in one’s skill then what was.
She had to admit, the second realm he was fighting wasn’t just on the entrance of it. No, it had already entered and stabilized itself in the realm.
And truthfully, she was originally worried about one of the three losing their lives. However now, she was even worrying for the condition of the ape.
After the attack had descended, everything returned back,
The moon had vanished revealing the still setting sun. Jon was breathing heavily as he was falling back to the ground. And finally the ape, the blood pooling over it was almost impossible. It was basically just blood now. And from the looks of it, it had used all of its mana to form a defense but couldn’t fully defend.
ROOARRRR
It wasn’t as loud as before but it tried to show its toughness,
Jon who was landing on the ground was already low on mana. He just had mana for one last big attack.
BANGGG
Landing heavily on the ground standing, ’Urghh...’ he winced in pain as he morphed his rod into gloves and approached the ape who was also approaching him.
"I crush that fucking life of yours." Jon cursed as he began round 2 with the ape, a melee combat.
