Chereads / Empyrean Defiance / Chapter 46 - Against The Ogre Destroyer

Chapter 46 - Against The Ogre Destroyer

After finishing the last Goblin Lord, Heracles shouted, "System, show me the remaining time until the deadline of my special quest!"

[You have 1 hour and 13 minutes remaining!]

Upon seeing his time limit, Heracles said with great vigor, "It seems like I still have over an hour to deal with this floor boss! I might as well try to finish everything as fast as I could to get a skill with a greater tier!"

When he made up his mind, Heracles charged without a moment of hesitation. As soon as he reached the minimal distance, he was faced by the floor boss great axe's slash. Due to the passive effect of his Divine Eyes skill, he was able to see the future, so he managed to slide downward to shorten the distance between him and the floor boss.

As soon as his sword was able to reach the floor boss, Heracles did not hesitate on using this opportunity to slash the enemy floor boss. Unfortunately, he was only able to damage the enemy floor boss a little.

After dodging from the counterattack of his enemy, Heracles thought to himself, 'He is a tough piece of meat! If that was the Goblin Lords, he would have lose a feet! Well, I only used a portion of my power! This time I need to be more serious!'

After receiving a damage from Heracles's slash, the floor boss charged with even more ferociousness this time. When the floor boss attack him with great force, Heracles was almost unable to dodge it.

As he dodge the numerous attacks thrown at his way, Heracles thought to himself, 'The floor boss's attack was really close! I only damaged him a little and he is this angry! Well, the book I have read in the library stated that Ogre Destroyer has a short temper! Although he is faster, every attacks he throws gives me an opening! I will use the effects of my Alexander's Swordmanship skill to deal with him!'

The floor boss continued his assault against Heracles which the latter managed to easily dodge them all using his future foresight. As soon as he finds some opportunities, he did not hesitate on using them to damage his enemy.

Although damaging the floor boss makes him stronger, the floor boss also began throwing big attacks that would give Heracles an opportunity to damage the floor boss.

As he watched the whole battle, Prince Elijah said to Leonard, "If he continues to go with that cycle, he would make the floor boss activate THAT beast skill! Therefore, I must inform my cousin! HERA-!"

Before he could inform his cousin, Prince Elijah got stopped by Leonard. He explained to the tenth prince, "Well, let Prince Heracles deal with him by himself. If he prepared enough, he would know about it. If not, it would be a great battle experience for him to learn."

Although he was reluctant on doing so, Prince Elijah decided to follow after Leonard's whim. He understood their escort knight's intention because of his mature temperament. He grew up with Prince Laxerus's personal guidance that would not hide things that are hard things to accept just because he was just a kid.

Heracles continues to dodge and wait for opportunity to attack against the floor boss. As he was trying his best, he said to his system, "System, show me the time limit of my special quest!"

[You have 42 minutes remaining!]

'I dealt a considerable amount of damage against the floor boss! Hopefully, I can finish him without anything bad happening!' Heracles thought to himself upon seeing the remaining time.

When he dodged the Ogre Destroyer's side attack, Heracles decided to take a huge step back, which forced the enemy floor boss to go toward his direction. Upon reaching the right distance, the floor boss did a frontal attack with an overwhelming force.

Heracles anticipated the attack, so he was able to dodge. Instead of dodging in using his footwork, he jumped as he could to attack from the floor boss's neck. He successfully pulling it off, but the sword he used got stuck from the floor boss's neck.

At the next moment, Heracles's expression suddenly turned very grim. He had no choice, but to run as fast as he could from the floor boss when he saw a little of his fate using his foresight. At that moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs, " SYSTEM, BRING ME MY DARK PURPLE STELLAR SWORD!"

At that very moment, the last sword he forged under the tutelage of his master suddenly appeared in his hands. It was a dark purple sword with little dots that twinkle like a star. He held his sword like he usually do.

Upon seeing his sword, Prince Elijah was shocked beyond belief. He said with a startled expression, "DID MY COUSIN JUST SAID DARK PURPLE STELLAR SWORD!? ISN'T THAT ONE OF THE STRONGEST METAL IN THE WHOLE DOMAIN!?"

Leonard smiled and said to the tenth prince, "I had the same expression when Prince Heracles showed me that sword! He got the ore from his master. It must be a system reward for that great Blacksmith from one of his quest!"

"Why would he receive an ore from his master? And what do you mean by great blacksmith? How could my cousin have a blacksmith master?" asked with a curious expression.

"The third prince did not share to you about Heracles's system? Well, that is because he have the Sword Vulcan system!" Leonard explained with a serious expression. "WHATTT!!? HOW COULD MY COUSIN FIGHT LIKE WITH THAT KIND OF SYSTEM!?" Prince Elijah wondered upon hearing Leonard's word.

"That I don't know," Leonard could only say in response to the tenth prince's question. Like Prince Elijah, he was asking the same thing when he fought alongside Heracles against the Triton Organization.

Meanwhile, at the battlefield, Heracles was watching his enemy very closely. He saw the future, so he was being wary to ensure such future won't affect him very badly.

"GRAGGHGGG!!!"
