The Gargantuar started running towards Saksham. Every step it took shook the ground, leaving deep pits behind. The sound of every step felt as if an ancient war drum was being beaten, making Saksham's heart start beating faster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Saksham took a deep breath, opened his arms wide, and made a grabbing action in thin air. Vinayak looked at Saksham with interest. But the next moment his eyes widened as he saw Saksham pull two wide daggers from thin air. The moment he pulled out the daggers, his aura changed drastically. Saksham's eyes became sharp as he looked at the rushing Gargantuar. When Gargantuar was just 2 steps away from Saksham, he disappeared from his position. Before the Gargantuar could react, Saksham appeared from its right side and slashed on its right leg with his daggers.
Splat! Splat!
Green blood squirted out from the wound Saksham just gave to the Gargantuar. At the same time, Saksham's expression become a little dignified. When he slashed on its legs, he could clearly feel some resistance. He had never experienced it before. His daggers had always been so sharp that they had cut through each and everything that he had fought against. But this time, he couldn't do the same easily on Gargantuar's skin. Gargantuar's skin was much harder than he had initially expected. The last time, he didn't directly fight against a Gargantuar but he didn't expect the Gargantuar to be so tricky.
At this time, Gargantuar lifted both its hands and smashed towards the place where Saksham was standing. Saksham saw this and once again disappeared in a split second and came to its left side. But at the same time, the place where Saksham was standing, exploded. It almost sounded as if a small grenade had exploded near his ears. The ground shook once again and the dust and pieces of broken ground scattered in all directions. Looking back, Saksham saw a 1-meter-deep hole at the place he was standing just a second ago. The sheer strength of Gargantuar was really terrifying, Saksham thought.
Crack! Crack!
Saksham looked underneath his own feet and saw cracks spreading from the giant pit in front of him. He knew that if he got hit by that, even if he wouldn't die, he would get some serious injuries. So, he once again picked up his daggers and slashed the left leg.
Splat! Splat!
With the slash, green blood once again squirted out of the wounds. And Saksham once again left that position and came back to the position he was standing at the start.
Boom! Boom!
At this time, Gargantuar suddenly fell on its knees heavily. The ground once again shook due to its large mass. It flailed its hands, smashing on the ground again and again but it couldn't stand up no matter how much it tried. Yes, Saksham had cut the tendons on its feet. As long as it couldn't move, it was no more than a chicken to be slaughtered in front of Saksham. Just as Saksham was about to rush in to give it a final blow, he heard Vinayak's cold voice, "You are stronger than I expected. Especially those 2 daggers in your hand. They tore through the solid defense of Gargantuar pretty easily. Did IOEA give you these? Didn't know they had such a good thing in their hands. Anyway, I don't have much time to play with you. Gargantuar! Stand up! Buff Up and kill him quick."
With Vinayak's voice, the originally kneeling Gargantuar suddenly stopped moving all of a sudden. But that didn't reduce Saksham's vigilance even in the slightest. He could feel something was wrong with it. Suddenly at this time, the Gargantuar smashed both its hands on the ground and jumped up. As it landed on its feet, Saksham's jaw dropped when he saw the originally big Gargantuar was once again increasing in size. With the increase in its size, Saksham saw its muscles squirming hideously beneath its skin as the veins on its body looked as if they were just about to burst. Even the bleeding wounds on its legs also closed and showed signs of healing slowly. Saksham understood that Gargantuar had used one of its Bloodline Skills, [Buff Up].
Looking at the Gargantuar who was now the size of a 1 story building, Saksham clicked his tongue. Earlier, he could easily reach the back of its neck and smash the demon orb there. But things had become pretty complicated now. Just the feet of Gargantuar looked bigger than Saksham. Gargantuar also started walking slowly towards Saksham. Every step made Saksham feel like an earthquake. Saksham lowered his body slightly, ready to move at any moment.
Right now, Saksham was calculating his strategy. For now, he couldn't use his dagger's passive effects. There was nothing to kill so the passive was useless right now. What was left now were the active effect of the Assassin's Suit and [Asura's hell: 1st chapter]. Although he was confident in fighting against the Gargantuar if he used [Adrenaline Overload], he didn't know how long it would take him to kill it. If he used [Adrenaline Overload] now, he was pretty confident that his Assassin's suit would blow up before even 10 seconds.
Last time in the Hyper Occulus, when he used the [Adrenaline Overload], the whole Assassin's Suit exploded after 30 seconds of use. The suit couldn't handle the increase in so much power last time. This time, if he used the [Adrenaline Overload], the suit would definitely explode even earlier. That's why he was hesitating a little about using it. He knew that the [Buff Up] bloodline Skill of Gargantuar could only last for 60 seconds. So if things turn out to be bad, he would only activate the [Adrenaline Overload] then, or else he won't. Because once he activated it, he had to defeat Gargantuar within 10 seconds. And he was pretty sure Vinayak wouldn't sit idly, watching him kill Gargantuar.
And from what he observed till now, there was some difference between the Gargantuar and the current one. Last time, that Gargantuar's powers were restricted due to Adhiraj's strength being much lower than it. And it was also an adolescent Gargantuar while this looked much bigger than the one Adhiraj had even in the base form. Intuition told him that this Gargantuar was an Adult. Its strength was on a completely different level than the other one.
And also, If he wanted to kill Gargantuar, he had to do it in a way that would not give Vinayak much time to react. This also made Saksham understand that even though he was strong, he didn't have many cards under his sleeves to help him in situations like this. He swore that once he goes back, he would definitely get himself more cards and trump cards. This couldn't go on any longer.
Even the weapon and suit he got from the system couldn't help him much as his strength grew. He even had the feeling that [Dragon God's Daggers] will not be increasing much of his strength after his strength grew.
Clenching the daggers in both his hands, these thoughts revolved endlessly in his head. At the same time, he dodged Gargantuar's attacks left and right. Right now, the first priority was to delay 60 seconds so that the Gargantuar could get back to its earlier size. In this form, Saksham couldn't do much damage to it. His daggers were only able to leave a shallow cut on its body even when he slashed with all his strength.
At this time, Vinayak laughed, "Give up your futile efforts. You can't hurt my specially cultivated Gargantuar. His skin is much thicker than your average Gargantuar. With those daggers, forget about doing any damage."
"Yeah, but I can say the same to you. Although I can't damage it, neither can it." Saksham said coldly.
Vinayak snorted coldly as he heard this. He clearly knew this fact. With his current strength, he could only summon 3 demons. But due to not having much time, he had not contracted his 3rd demon for now. And from the 2 demons he had, he had cultivated Gargantuar the most, leaving the other one very weak. Seeing Saksham dodge Gargantuar's attacks, again and again, a sense of urgency struck his heart. He knew that if he let Saksham delay things anymore, the situation might become disadvantageous for him. And this thought enraged Vinayak like nothing else. 'How dare these puny ants!' Vinayak thought.
On the other side, as more and more attacks fell on the ground, the ground had become uneven with deep pits left and right. If someone came to see the situation there, they would surely think that some big machines dug those holes there. But the "machine" in question was slowly moving towards Saksham again. Saksham observed its movements closely and easily dodged its attacks while slashing its feet whenever he got the chance. By now, there were tens of bloody lines on its legs but none of them were enough to be a problem for Gargantuar to walk. Right now, his defenses had become very thick. But Saksham knew that this situation would end soon as it was very close to 60 secs. Vinayak knew this too and seeing that Gargantuar still couldn't do any harm to Saksham, he decided to move his hands and end this useless farce soon.
Suddenly Vinayak raised his hand and suddenly space once again opened in front of Vinayak.
Screech!!! Screech!!
From inside the space, a huge demon came out and soared into the sky. Vinayak said impatiently, "Kill that ant fast!"
