Chapter 24 - Fight of Apexes

Infront of Tyrant Horned Mastodon was another ancient primordial beast which was similarly gigantic as him.

The ancient primordial beast was also a four-legged beast with a towering height of more than 100m.

Its body was covered with rugged thick armour, while a diamond-like hammer located at the end of its long tail.

On its head was an impressive pair of straight horns that reached the span of 20m from one end to the other.

The name of this ancient primordial beast was Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus.

Seeing that Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus came from the direction of his goal, a fuming rage suddenly swelled up inside Tyrant Horned Mastodon's heart. Another bastard had pulled ahead of him.

Similar thought also struck in Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's head. His treasure was already robbed by other.

The two of ancient primordial beasts aggressively stared at each other.

Abruptly, Tyrant Horned Mastodon charged forward leaving an after image. They were 5,000m apart, but with his speed, he easily covered the distance in a blink of an eye.

A trail of destruction closely followed as the hill-sized ancient primordial beast passed the area.

At the same time, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus also took an action. He raised his front legs while standing on his hind legs and aggressively made a war stomp.

Boom!

A massive wave of earthquake spread around Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus. The earthquake created numerous hill-sized spikes protruding towards the rushing Tyrant Horned Mastodon.

Even after seeing the sharp spikes almost as big as him, Tyrant Horned Mastodon braved himself and rammed the spikes with his mighty horns and tusks. The earth spikes shattered into dust after the impact.

Nevertheless, that crash had stopped his charge while he was still 1,000m apart from his opponent.

Not letting this chance slipped, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus made another stomp, creating a huge compressed spike under Tyrant Horned Mastodon, targeting his softer belly.

But with that large amount of magical energy, Tyrant Horned Mastodon easily detected the attack. He made an agile side roll, avoiding the attack. The earth trembled because of his action.

Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus did not give up and made another spike Targeting Tyrant Horned Mastodon's behind, of which evaded by Tyrant Horned Mastodon.

Annoyed by Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus constant harassment, Tyrant Horned Mastodon gathered boundless amount of magical energy on his front legs and also made a war stomp.

Kang!

A loud explosion with a metallic sound reverberated through the area.

The explosion that consisted of half of Tyrant Horned Mastodon's magical energy had changed the hilly terrain into a massive crater.

The crater was impressively 5,000m wide, yet it was only 100m deep.

Surprisingly a black plate of metal was revealed at the base of the wide crater. It was as smooth as mirror and covered the whole crater. The 5,000m crater was devoid of any form of earth at all.

As the dust disappeared, the ancient primordial beasts were revealed. Both ancient primordial beasts withstood the explosion.

Both Tyrant Horned Mastodon and Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus were not perturbed by the sight of glistening metal under their feet as if they had known its existence.

But now, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus no longer had his advantage over earth affinity magic, Earthquake.

With a smug face, Tyrant Horned Mastodon steadily approached the guarded Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus. It had blown away all earth and soil so that Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus could not use his magic.

Though he could not utilize Earthquake, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus was not afraid of Tyrant Horned Mastodon. He was confident he could trash Tyrant Horned Mastodon in close-quarter-combat.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon was famous for his powerful charge. Receiving a direct hit from his charge could render even a higher level ancient primordial beast incapacitated, what's more the one on the same level.

Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus had interrupted Tyrant Horned Mastodon's first charge, so it was saved from that potential death threat.

Both of them were now only hundreds of meters apart, Tyrant Horned Mastodon was also on disadvantage as he could not reach a powerful momentum for his charge. But that did not mean he was powerless.

When Tyrant Horned Mastodon was 300m near Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus, he suddenly vanished.

Promptly, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus shifted his thick horn by tilting his head.

Klang!

Armoured dragon ankylosaurus was knocked back for 500m before he could stop the momentum.

Fortunately, he managed to block it, streak of sweat dripped from Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's forehead.

Taking this chance, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus launched a counterattack. He swinged his diamond hammer at the end of his tail towards Tyrant Horned Mastodon's head.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon clicked his tongue as his sudden charge was blocked. Perceiving the incoming attack, he promptly distanced himself from Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus.

Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's tail was very long, even when the tail was from his back, his tail still had a reach of 25m to his front.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon observed Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus that was wildly swinging his tail. That diamond hammer would bash on his head if he tried to do another sudden charge.

But he was not disheartened. He could still win this battle.

Seeing that Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus did not actively chase him on his own accord, Tyrant Horned Mastodon distanced himself a bit more to buy some time.

Then, he bended his trunk and reached inside of his mouth. Hidden in his mouth was a slab of black metal. For it to be hidden in his mouth, the size of the black metal was not that big.

The slab of metal was only 5m long and 3m wide. With their impressive size of more than 100m, the slab of metal was very tiny.

But seeing the slab of metal, a panicked expression appeared on Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's face.

The slab of metal was the same type of metal with the one that they were currently fighting on.

The metal plate was not even dented after being blown with high power magical energy. This proved the resilient property of the metal.

Now, Tyrant Horned Mastodon used that metal as a weapon to fight him, how could Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus not worry.

But Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus still had his trusted armour. Tyrant Horned Mastodon would badly be mistaken if he thought he could win with just a piece of metal.

Moreover, seeing the approaching Tyrant Horned Mastodon, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus took the initiative to launch a powerful attack.

With a complex footwork, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus made a full swing with his long tail while turning his rear to the front. The swing was to fast that it broke the sound barrier.

Suddenly, the hammer tail extended its reach to an astounding reach of 125m. It also gained its highest momentum at that reach.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon that was 120m away from Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus was shocked as he hurriedly wielded the slab of metal and blocked that attack.

The momentum of that attack had sent him standing on his hindlegs.

Not missing the chance, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus made another 360-degree rotation and swiped Tyrant Horned Mastodon with another swing.

The swing accurately landed on Tyrant Horned Mastodon's left hindleg, shattering his thick femur. His thick hair did not do any good in negating the attack.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon's massive body came crashing after that attack, but he decisively stabilized his stance with his 3 other legs and blocked Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's third attack with his muscular trunk wielding the slab of metal.

Although Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's third attack was blocked, he was satisfied as his second attack had caused his opponent limping.

These attacks had shifted their power to an equal level. With his armour, he was not afraid of battle of attrition.

So, the fight continued.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon brandished the slab of metal while Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus blocked most of it with his tail.

The clanging sound of metal echoed throughout the crater.

Occasionally Tyrant Horned Mastodon would use sudden charge when he saw an opening, but most of the time was blocked by Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus.

His shattered femur would require much longer period to meld itself even with his high vitality, so his sudden charge was several times less powerful than before.

As the stalemate continued, both of them had worn themselves out.

Now that the fight had prolong for so long, their angers had cooled down a bit.

After all, they were currently bearing a huge pressure on their body. they could only exert one-tenth of their original power.

As Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus thought that Tyrant Horned Mastodon had tired himself out, a blizzard suddenly enveloped his surroundings.

His vision and sense were blocked by the cold dark blizzard. Sign of frost started showing on his body, slowing his movement speed.

Obviously, this blizzard was created by Tyrant Horned Mastodon.

In the dark blizzard, a streak of light suddenly struck the base of Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's tail. The attack managed to penetrate his thick armour and caused a bloody wound to appear.

With Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's vitality, the wound was rapidly healed. But this was only the beginning.

Numerous streaks of light struck the joints of Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus. The attacks even came from unpredictable angle which were hard to counter.

Sensing the dire situation, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus released an explosive magical energy of his own, blowing the blizzard away.

But Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus was still a second too late.

When the blizzard was cleared, he saw a large foot was stomping to his face, and a second later, his head was already stomped to the ground.

Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus tried to retaliate with his hammer tail, but Tyrant Horned Mastodon had cut him first. He struck the base of Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus's tail for several times, severing his tail from his body.

Loosing the mean to attack, Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus was badly weakened.

Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus hated to end like this. Even if he died, he would take Tyrant Horned Mastodon with him.

So, he decisively detonated his Beast Core.

Boom!

A large explosion occurred in the crater, creating a large mushroom cloud. Tyrant Horned Mastodon's hill-sized body was sent out flying another 10,000m away from the explosion, creating a trailing crater upon impact.

The explosion even managed to create a rupture on the black metal plate.

Tyrant Horned Mastodon was critically injured from that explosion. He did not expect Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus to be this decisive.

His body that was dominating on top of Armoured Dragon Ankylosaurus bore the full brunt of the explosion.

As Tyrant Horned Mastodon thought so, his vision suddenly turned blurry and his head rolled on the ground.

Instantaneously, his head and body disappeared.
