Elias looked at the status screen for a moment before turning around.
"Let\'s go. We\'ll take the piece while he\'s fighting the Golem, the requirements for this checkmark are only two."
Hajin was surprised. He looked at Ragna directly facing the Golem, and with some hesitation he asked:
"...Are you sure? Shouldn\'t we help him?"
It was not that he thought Ragna was weak, but rather the Golem just seemed strong. Too strong for one man.
The Golem, from the danger it let out, was as strong as a beast emperor—and that was not yet accounting for the various abilities it could possess.
It seemed a bit too careless to leave it to one person alone…
Beside him, Celestia agreed. It was one thing for it to be strong, but the Golem was heavily physically resistant.
From her assessment, Ragna Newgate was a physical fighter. Him fighting the Golem was tantamount to trying to destroy an indestructible object.
In fact, she felt like she was more suited to fight it with her sorcery.
"I would say that this man is right, leader. It\'s a bit careless, no?"
Hearing their words, Elias suddenly stopped and had a strange expression on his face as he shook his head.
"Don\'t be ridiculous."
Hajin and Celestia stared at Elias with confusion. What was ridiculous about that? Then, before they could open their mouths to speak, a loud sound suddenly resounded.
BOOM!
Hajin\'s and Celestia\'s eyes immediately snapped towards the direction of the explosion and saw an unbelievable scene.
It was a two colliding forces, although one was obviously bigger than the other, the man clashed with the stone giant and tied the golem on a battle of overwhelming force.
The sight in front of them was one that could only be described as a superior display of strength. It was like… a battle of giants.
"That man alone is enough."
Elias commented and walked to the checkmark. I suppose no one really knew Ragna at the start, since he was hidden in the mountains…
To dare say words like that to Ragna, they haven\'t even seen the best of him the future version of him.
Behind him, Hajin and Celestia were speechless as they stood still.
***
On the side.
"Hehe! Let\'s start!"
Ragna grinned widely. He clenched his fist tightly, and without the slightest hesitation, shot it against the Golem.
The Golem, seemingly expecting his attack, raised its palm with unbelievable speed for its massive physique.
At that moment, both the fist and the palm collided against each other.
BOOM!
The shockwaves of their attack made them both tremble. The air blew harshly and slightly lifted Ragna\'s sleeve.
"Hehe, as expected… you\'re quite strong."
Ragna\'s eyes glinted with excitement. In contrast, the Golem was emotionless, merely acting as it was programmed to do.
Ragna narrowed his eyes and attacked once more with passion, exchanging blows with the Golem in sheer strength.
Whoosh! Pow! Bam!
"Hahahahahaha!"
Each of their blows caused shockwaves, creating miniature explosions as their fists collided with each other.
It was like a battle of two giants.
From an outsider\'s perspective, it seemed ridiculous and unbelievable. If the Sorcerer who made the Golem was here, they would definitely be shocked as well.
The Golem was reinforced with heavy physical resistance, physical attacks should be ineffective against it.
Not to mention the material used to forge its body, the Golem\'s physical strength could be said to be as strong as C Rank hunter.
But Ragna defied it. More accurately, his strength was penetrating through the physical resistance like it was nothing.
[Giant\'s Strength (Passive): The Body is the weapon itself. Through cruel training, the physical body contains attributes that render \'normal\' defenses useless.]
Bam! Bam! Pow!
After a while, the Golem seemed to have enough of him and suddenly clenched its fist. Thunder bellowed on its arms, and with unbelievable speed, it struck.
Ragna saw through the attack moments prior but didn\'t dodge. He relished taking his opponents\' attacks to experience their strength.
The thunderous fist struck!
Boom!
Ragna gasped audibly, with thunder crackling throughout his whole body. The lightning danced on his body.
It crackled, with thunderous echoes, it was deadly and ferocious. But aside from making him feel a slight pain, it gave no real injuries.
Ragna recovered quickly from the attack. As though he wasn\'t just fried with lightning just now, he laughed joyfully.
"That was a good one! It stung quite a bit, but that\'s still far away from damaging me!"
The Golem retracted its fist, seemingly surprised at the man managing to resist the attack. It narrowed its pupils and stared at the white-haired herculean.
It had five abilities granted by its creator, [FireBlast],[Earth Eruption], [Water Shield], [Lightning Strike], and [Four Elemental Blast].
Among them, [Four Elemental Blast] was the strongest in destructiveness but it exhausted all of his energy reserves, so it was a trump card at best.
But the second strongest was—[LightningStrike]—a?normal second-circle spell that was improved by its creator.
If used on a Rank D student, that student would faint upon receiving the attack. It could even kill if one was not careful of using it.
However, thankfully the Golem was programmed to not exceed damage beyond fainting.
It would only release power equivalent to how much the participant it fought could handle, and it would continue increasing power until the participant faints.
But, in the case of Ragna, it released all of its dormant power… and yet.
The man was unaffected.
At that moment, even with its simple thinking, the Golem realized: the man in front of him was different.
Ragna looked up and grinned widely.
[Blessed By Nature (Passive): Since birth, you possessed unparalleled strength. Nature blesses you with its powers, making the body heavily resistant to external damage/control.]
"You\'re pretty strong, but hehe…"
Ragna chuckled and easily shoved off the attack like it was nothing. He cracked his fingers loudly, stretched his arm, and used a skill.
At this point, he already felt the extent of the Golem\'s power. It was strong... but no different from the meals he ate on the mountains.
Crack—!
At that moment, Ragna\'s whole arm blazed. A scarlet red phantom of a dragon suddenly enamored his whole arm as an overwhelming force surrounded it.
[Dragon\'s Fist]
In the Mountains, there were rumored dragons who occasionally appeared to devour beasts. They were real dragons, not mere wyverns, but flying beasts truly possessing dragon blood.
But their dragon blood, although pure, was quite few, only a fraction. Nonetheless, that fraction made them emperors of the mountains.
In the past, Ragna encountered a dragon like that. The dragon was gigantic and overwhelming, emitting immense pressure.
If not for the fact the dragon was injured when he met it, Ragna was sure that he would have never survived that day.
After killing the dragon, he devoured it and with his [Totem Deity] talent, he gained one of its abilities that helped the dragon conquer the mountains.
[Dragon Fist]
A simple, yet overpowered skill.
One fist to conquer the world.
"...you\'re not at my level yet. It\'s a pity. I would like to enjoy more of this fight, but it doesn\'t seem like you\'ll survive this. Since you\'re a beats, do you think I can eat you? Does stone taste tasty?"
Ragna grinned and continued while power gathered on his arm. With a dragon crawling on his fist, the Golem was not the least intimidated.
Golems were emotionless in nature. It recognized that none of its attacks would work on its opponent and subsequently improvised.
There were no options left other than its strongest attack, its trump card.
The Golem gathered both of its arms in front, with its hands spread out as though it was going to launch a beam.
Then, lightning bellowed, fire blazed, water flowed, and earth erupted. It was four elements integrating, mixing, and empowering each other.
[Four Elemental Blast]
The Golem slightly shook. With this one attack, it exhausted most of its energy reserves. Its mana was not unlimited.
A whirling ultraviolet orb manifested, twisting the air as it gathered power, and moments later the orb reduced to palm-sized
Standing a few meters away from the beam, Ragna could feel immense power. But he felt no fear, only thrilling joy!
"Hehehehehe, let\'s finish this, stone guy!"
At that moment, Ragna clenched his fist and shot forward like a blur. He punched as the dragon on his arm roared while the Golem released its attack.
BOOM!
Two attacks of epic proportions collided with each other, causing a massive explosion in the surroundings!
***
Whoosh!
Elias grabbed the puzzled piece from the container and put it in his pocket. He turned around and looked at a figure with slightly tattered clothes.
With a small smile, he nodded.
"You took your time, Ragna."
