Chapter 49: Form 5 - Gigantic Pestle
Chapter 49: Form 5 - Gigantic Pestle
[ Cooldown time: 2 hours ]
'I wonder what item will I get?', Adam thought excitedly
Presently, he has 2 more unused roulette tickets, particularly random and miscellaneous roulette tickets.
He had used the other three tickets specifically, item ticket, skill book ticket, and title ticket, receiving the 'Robe of Supremacy', 'Absolute', and 'The One Who Never Bowed Down', respectively.
Since there were 2 hours remaining cooldown time, Adam planned to continue his training with Greed.
Throughout those 3 days (9 days inside the tent), Adam had managed to increase his concentration, thus increasing his number of maximum summoning/division of coin from 5 to 7.
He only managed to increase it by 2 though 9 days had passed as increasing one's concentration was indeed a hard feat.
Soon, Greed immediately pounced on Adam...
The latter then invoked his Dark Wolf (rare), which he was riding on, to move and avoid the attack.
After avoiding the attack, a Mantis came from behind Adam, immediately assaulting Greed.
The 1,000,000 mana-powered Mantis continuously stretched out its claw, attacking Greed endlessly.
Greed, on the other hand, continued thwarting the Mantis's attack effortlessly.
'Ting!'
'Ting!', resounded on the area as the two continued switching attacks.
A while later, Greed swiftly moved his body as he felt a presence coming from behind him.
And as if to validate his intuition, a 'Bang' was heard as a Gigantic Viper's tail blasted on the area where Greed recently stood.
The 1 million mana-powered Viper whacked its Gigantic tail on Greed, causing the latter to get occupied as he fights two summoning at the same time.
Though that's the case, Greed still maintained his expressionless looks, and thwart or avoided each attack skillfully.
'Ting!'
'Bang!'
'Ting!'
'Bang!'
Sounds from thwarting and smashing of tail on the area kept on resounding as the three fought.
Soon, as they were exchanging attacks, the area they were at, suddenly turned darker, as if a dark cloud emerged, a premonition for upcoming rain.
Of course, the source of the sudden darkness was not a cloud as they were inside the tent, where no clouds were present at all.
Greed instantly shifted his gaze upward, looking for the source of the darkness. And as for what it is? It's no other than Adam's coin or rather, a Gigantic Pestle!
Soon, words from Adam were heard as he invoked the skill...
"Form 5 - Gigantic Pestle!", he uttered loudly
Just right after saying the name, the pestle instantly started descending towards the area where the three were fighting at.
Greed was about to leave the area, but suddenly halted as a Mantis's claw and Viper's tail kept on attacking him.
'Ting!'
'Bang!'
Seconds later, the area turned more dark as the Gigantic Pestle was getting closer. Amidst that, Greed was still occupied by the two monsters' consecutive attack.
Soon, as the Gigantic Pestle was only 5 meters away from the ground, Greed instantly bolsters his Power, increasing his stats and overall ability, thus avoiding the attack from Mantis and Viper easily while fleeing from the area.
'Bangg!'
The Gigantic Pestle then smashed on the two monsters. Greed on the other hand was left unscathed as he had fled from the scene.
Swiftly, as soon as the pestle hit the ground, Greed instantly moved towards Adam, aiming to finally end the fight.
'Gulp'
Adam just gulped at the scene of Greed sprinting towards him, while wearing his usual expressionless look.
'Greed!', he uttered
Soon, as Greed was only meters away from Adam, the latter immediately invokes the 3 Gigantic Spears that were levitating beside him.
The Gigantic Spear moved agilely as if its size didn't hinder its speed at all.
At last, the first spear met its target, Greed.
The latter then just brandished his sword, swiftly thwarting the enormous spear easily.
'Ting!'
The same scene occurred again as the second and third spear met Greed's broadsword. Its size didn't stop Greed advancement at all, nor the 500,000 mana-power inserted on it.
'Ting!'
'Ting!'
'Ting!'
All the spear could do was to buy Adam a second to stretch out his hand then insert mana on his 8th coin.
Earlier, during his practice with the skill, he had managed to increase his maximum coin division from 7 to 8, but that was only when he was in a state of meditation, where distraction was nowhere, unlike in the middle of the fight, wherein a total concentration was difficult to achieve.
Thus, he planned to attain a breakthrough during this fight...
At last, while Adam was inserting mana on his 8th coin, Greed eventually arrived before him, swiftly withdrawing his broadsword, aiming for an attack...
Adam on the other hand just looked at Greed that was only meter away from him, as he continued inserting mana on his 8th coin.
'T-this', Adam uttered as he looked at Greed's broadsword that was seemingly gleaming as it was surrounded by blackish mana.
'Death!', he thought as the 8th coin on his hand instantly vanished like a bubble being pricked by a needle.
He lost his concentration.
At last, Greed swang his broadsword towards Adam, the latter on the other hand just watched the sword getting closer to his neck, dumbfounded.
'Woosh!', resounded on the tent, signaling the end of the fight...
-----------
The atmosphere inside the tent turned dull as the noise from the fight earlier subsided.
Amidst that, on the corner of the room, a man and a boy can be seen standing, with the man's sword being one inch away from the boy's neck.
'I failed huh', Adam mumbles while looking at nowhere as 8th coin division was still out of his reach.
Currently, he could fight a 1 million mana-powered Greed, favorably. Above that would result in a disadvantageous fight.
He then remembered the command he gave to Greed, prior to this practice...
'Don't lose regardless, and don't kill me'
That's the command that he gave, thus, Greed fought with all that he got and in the end, didn't kill Adam.
Also, earlier, as Greed was about to be smashed by the Gigantic Pestle, he hastily boosted his strength, from 1 million to 1.5 million mana. As a result, he thwarted each attack and spears easily.
Soon, after mulling over, Adam then canceled all his summoning aside from Greed.
After a while, after eating and freshening himself, an announcement from the system came which brought him so much joy.
