Chapter 40: A Tough Battle
"We'll hold him for you," the other two said in unison while they instantly moved, to reappear just in front of the fast moving forward Jim.
"Time to test my ability to max," Jim was fazed when he saw the two giants suddenly appearing in front of him. They waved their fists, while each one had a small rock forming all of sudden around their fists, turning it into giant clubs.
"Die," one of them shouted, and the next moment Jim had all their fists moving fast towards him. Yet he didn't decrease his speed as he suddenly started to move right and left, lean here and jump there, ending up evading all of their attacks without being touched.
And he kept moving with unstoppable speed towards the three in the rear.
He knew these three had the special ability of the dirt tsunami, and he had to stop them before they attack everything here.
Time of essence, and it was a race between whose ability was going to be executed first.
"Of course it's me," Jim laughed when he reached close distance from the three giants, while the other two just appeared instantly in front of him, blocking his path. "Morons, I won't advance anymore," he laughed before finally stopping and letting his sword follow the indomitable will of the gravity.
"Rumble!"
The moment the sword touched the ground, the entire arena shook. The five giants had their faces change abruptly when that gigantic ball of lightning appeared, not from the ground, but descending from the sky like thick pillars of lightning assaulting Jim.
The sky suddenly dimmed all of sudden, and strange black clouds appeared there like descending from some higher place. The lightning pillars descended from them, and these pillars kept increasing in frequency and strength with every passing second, with the approaching clouds to the arena.
"Hurry, stop him," one of the three shouted, "only five seconds, buy us five seconds," another one shouted and the other two nodded.
They knew their mates needed roughly twenty seconds to activate their ability, and they could do it in ten if needed on the expense of exhausting their strength.
It wasn't time for them to hesitate, so each one of the two moved fast, penetrating the rapidly forming ball of lightning around Jim, trying to hit him with their rocks.
"Scram!"
Yet Jim only pointed his sword towards them. They were a couple of seconds late, as he just had his sword being relieved from the gravity and his lighting ability being summoned successfully.
He was one step ahead of them, that step he planned carefully with the decoy of Jenny and the feign attack of Deno.
Just as his words landed, and he waved his sword, more pillars of lightning descended from the sky assaulting the two giants, smashing heavily over their bodies, burning their skin and muscles while throwing them off in the air a couple of tens of meters away.
"Your turn," Jim sneered as he waved his sword towards the three giants.
"Damn you! Go to hell! Activate it now!" one of them shouted and the next moment the other two had their bodies emit a strange brown color, followed by the instant bulging of their muscles.
"They are summoning their innate strength, consuming their life flare!" Armando was speechless for a moment there before laughing, "they are so desperate, hahaha."
Pol glanced at him and didn't say anything. He knew this was considered the most powerful attack in his youth generation. If this failed, then nothing else would work.
"Should I interfere?" he thought, weighing everything before shaking off his head. "Too late, and that Wiser damn!" he glanced at Armando feeling much enmity towards him. "I swear today's benevolence shall be repaid in folds back later," he promised.
"Die!" the three giants shouted, while Jim casually waved his sword once, twice, thrice, and the lightning pillars just followed his will.
"Boom!"
Yet the next moment a giant dirt wave erupted from the front of the giants, forming a massive wall of tens of meters height in front of Jim.
"Tsk, too bad my attack comes from the sky not the ground," he laughed while he kept waving his sword with his utmost speed, while the lightning kept barbecuing the three giants.
Yet the giants didn't surrender, as they kept their bodies and fists clenched in the same position, withstanding the pain. "Let's see who is going to fall first," one of them roared, and the confrontation just kept escalating when the wall of dirt started to move.
It was obvious for the attack to be strong enough to stop Jim, yet he didn't move or even try to meet the incoming gigantic dirt wave while he kept waving his sword all the time.
"Boom!"
The next moment he was hit with the dirt, taking him inside and forming a gigantic dirt ball around.
Yet his ball of lightning protected him so far.
"Damn, Den when will you move?" Jenny shouted with distress as the outcome escalated beyond her expectations.
"He didn't give the order yet," Deno was as nervous as her, yet he didn't dare to move an inch without having the signal from Jim.
He saw how Jim managed to carry them all this far, and he trusted Jim and so he waited.
"Don't let the other two interfere," one of the three shouted with his loudest voice mixed with pain. The pillars of lightning fell upon them non-stop, and they all felt severe pain and burning from head to toe.
The two giants were just walking with difficulty from the other end of the arena after taking the first shot of Jim directly. They had many wounds, and despite their strong bodies; they still were heavily injured.
"Damn you!" one of the two giants cursed out loud while glancing over the other side. Deno was now starting to fight directly with the shapeshifters, while Jenny stood next to him, doing nothing.
