𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝟑6: Rock Soul Titan
The Titan gave one hell of a deafening shriek rushing foward to Hex like a mad animal. It was energetic, pumped up by it's rage.
Hex grasped the hilt of his axes tightly, his blast had barely made a mark on the Titan.
If he were to go all out, he would stand the chance of dilapidating the entire tunnel with his ability. That was if he missed or added too much intensity, whereas it was too much risk.
So there was no option but to go close ranged.
Fwooollp!
As soon as the Titan got into range it swung it's foot at Hex.
It's feet tore through the air with an amazing speed but not fast enough to hit Hex who tremendously charged out of the way.
Still he wasn't out of danger....
The Titan stomped it's feet at him, but luckily he sprinted out of the way faster than it came.
'It is pretty fast.'
Hex acknowledged keeping up his footwork as the Titan attacked again and again in a repeated movement trying to stomp him like he was some kind of insect.
Considering it's size he would seem like an insect to it.
But apparently he was too fast for it to get with it's obvious assault.
Though Hex only ran around, he searched with his eyes for any opening he could get.
Jumping right in while fight a Titan wasn't something to do. Because of the obvious special ability it possessed. Since it already clarified how useless it was to use fear spread there was a probability it would utilize it's other skills to win.
'There!'
Hex straightened his stance, stopping abruptly and bending his knees in a crouching position.
Booooom!
He launched into the air like a shot bullet at the Rock soul Titan's face.
Even the Rock soul Titan couldn't react fast enough to block this attack.
Hex soared further throwing his axe foward to penetrate through the Rock soul Titan's face when....
Screeerecccch!
His Axe made contact with the Rock soul Titan's face sharply, scratching past it like smooth rock without making any definite fatal wound.
"Tsk!" Hex gnashed his teeth at the sight of it. At this rate, even his axe couldn't make a wound on the skin of the Rock soul Titan.
'It's skin is too thick to....'
Gruuucckk!
The Rock soul Titan grumbled waving a hand with a tremendous speed and swatting Hex like he was a fly, down to the ground.
FWOOOSH!
BOOOOMMM!
Hex collided with the ground back first raising layers of dust after him.
"Tsk!" He coughed out blood from his mouth, for the first time in a long while, he took a fatal direct hit.
This attack made his entire body tremble greatly.
Who would have thought he couldn't dodge in mid air. This fight would be more difficult than he anticipated.
To think he had underestimated the Rock soul Titan so much.
Hex finally sprang to a bending stand brushing the blood from his lips.
The Titan had continued in it's match to meet Sky and the rest, it believed him to be dead.
That was a useful asset to catching it off guard.
Hex's look plummeted to his two red axes in his hands. They were two blunt and low level to make the fatal hits he anticipated. At most they were E ranked material.
With this kind of weapon, he could only muder soft skinned Cursed ones. But a Titan of this caliber needed a high grade weapon.
Luckily for him, he had the Phantom generated weapons. But still faltered to use them because of the witnesses that were there.
'If only Mizumi and the rest weren't here I would be able to use this weapons without hesitation.'
{I advise using them boss}
However as the Phantom advised, he still had no choice but to do so. Apart from his sister he was about to show a glimpse of the Phantom's power to someone else.
Hex wielded his hands open dropping the two axes from his grips.
"Equip Lightning sword!"
A purple-white energy began to swirl in Hex's palm afterwards the Lightning dragon blade forming in it's grasp.
'A hell of a first test run for this sword!!!'
{Poison, armour nullification, saves up Mana for deadly hits, speed supportive, lightning energy}
After Hex read this notification he realized how easily won this fight already was.
'Man, this stress cost a way lot more than fifty thousand coins!'
***
Sky shrugged again, as he narrowed his eyes on the approaching Rock soul Titan. It swatted Hex like he was a bug and this fact made his legs shake like leafs making it more difficult to stand.
Even with his skill and double attack powers, he would barely be able to put a dent on the surface of it's skin.
This was a battle of over several Cursed Slayers not one.
The only hope of survival was to goad the girls to run and take the fall. Let himself be the hopeless sacrifice and allow the others to survive.
As Sky shifted his gaze back to yell the girls to run, his tongue willingly held itself.
The state of fear and disorientation they were in was beyond yelling.
'Shit! Fuck! Why the hell did I pick the weaklings?'
The Rock soul Titan hung it's mouth open a large red energy surging in it. It was like a red sizzling flame in it's mouth and surely it would burn.
'Is this the end.....?'
Shwoooom!
Hex launched from behind into the air soaring towards the Rock Soul Titan's hind.
Floowwssh!
He sank the tip of his blade into the Titan's back and to His surprise it penetrated easily.
RIEECCCHHK!
The Titan mounted another shriek from it's throat aborting it's attack and throwing it's hand to it's back to grab him.
Hex dislodged his sword from it's back. It made a pierce but barely made a worthy hit to scar the beast.
'I have to hit harder.....'
Hex was not given enough time to think as the Titan twisted sharply spinning a fist and delivering a blow to his side.
However because of the enormous size of the Titan's fist, it was as humongous as a grown man so the attack connected with all of Hex.
"Gahhhhh!!!" Hex coughed out as the attack sent him plummeting down to the ground once more.
This time he avoided crashing to his back, he manuevered himself to a stand and hit the floor with a abrupt skid for a few feet raising a subtle cloud of dust under him.
Now Hex had gotten the Titan's attention. And it was pissed.
'Just because you can growl doesn't mean you should oppresse me with it.'
{Poison has been activated}
{Calculated time before enemy dies....}
{26 minutes}
{Time before Penalty}
{24:00}
Hex snarled. He didn't have that long to kill this creature, all he had at this moment were a few minutes.
BOOOM!
The Rock soul Titan raced for him fast not giving him any time to think again.
Hex gnashed his teeth at this moment watching the Rock soul Titan as it swung down it's enormous palm at him.
Shwoooom!
Hex leapt into the air, letting the hand crash into the ground raising pillars of smoke.
The wind from the attack was deadly enough that it sent waves if heat up Hex's spine.
Guuuugggghhh!
Just when Hex thought he was safe the Rock soul Titan crowed it's neck hanging it's mouth open and aiming at him.
It's mouth was sizzling a hot red energy. This made Hex gulp instinctively.
'Shit, I can't dodge this.....'
BADOOOOMM!!!
