Chapter 140 Fighting the titan
As the titan continued to stare at me, its gaze unwavering and cold, I broke into a full sprint, my feet pounding against the rubble as I raced towards it.
As I sprinted towards the titan, a fierce determination consumed me. My eyes narrowed into deadly slits, my teeth clenched in a grimace of rage as I focused all of my energy into a single, burning desire: to kill the beast and increase your mana points.
Despite my determination, a small part of me feared that another mage would get to the titan before I did.
The battlefield was a chaotic maelstrom, and I could not afford to let my guard down for even a moment.
I knew that if another mage was to strike the killing blow, I would never be able to forgive myself or him.
I had come this far, and I would not let anyone else claim the spoils of victory.
With every stride, my thirst for power grew, a fierce determination driving me onwards as I closed the distance between myself and the titan.
At last, I stood face-to-face with the beast titan, our eyes locked in a deadly battle of wills.
The air was thick with tension, the faint sounds of distant battle the only noise to break the silence.
The titan was massive, towering over me by a foot, its muscles rippling. But I was not intimidated. I had faced danger before, and I would not back down now.
Slowly, I reached behind my back and drew my fans, the blades shimmering with elemental magic as I prepared to strike.
The titan's voice was a chilling, hollow echo that seemed to reverberate through the air. Its lips did not move, but the words it spoke were clear and unmistakable.
"Titan slayer, so you've come again."
The titan's voice echoed in my head , its words carrying a weighty menace that seemed to hang in the air.
"I was watching as you killed them, my comrades. I wanted to come stop you but I was prohibited. Now, I will have my revenge."
I met the titan's gaze with a steely determination, my eyes flashing with defiance.
"Shut up and fight, beast," I snarled, the words a challenge and a promise. "Your days are numbered, and I will be the one to end them."
The titan growled and rushed at me.
As I faced off against the titan, my every movement was swift and precise. My fans sliced through the air, dancing around the titan's heavy, powerful blows with an agility born of desperation.
The creature's fiery sword swung at me with deadly force, the heat searing my skin as I dodged and weaved, searching for an opening to strike.
I could feel my body growing weak, the energy within me draining with every passing moment. But I refused to give up, refusing to let the titan claim victory over me.
I'm desperation, and with a burst of elemental power, I activated propelling and it was like there was a gust of wind that sent me spiraling through the air, evading the titan's sword strike by the barest of margins.
My eyes widened as I saw the preciseness of the propelling, any more delay and the sword would have driven into me.
I landed in a crouch, my feet digging into the earth as I prepared to retaliate. My eyes flicked to the titan's fiery blade, the heat of the weapon searing my skin even from a distance.
I knew that I needed to disarm the titan if I was to have any hope of winning this battle.
With every ounce of strength I could muster, I launched myself towards the titan, my fans slicing through the air with a deadly precision.
The creature swung its sword with a thunderous roar, the heat of the weapon scorching the ground beneath my feet.
I twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding the strike as I swung my fans towards the titan's wrist, aiming to sever the connection between the creature and its weapon.
The blades sliced through the air, a gust of wind trailing in their wake as they struck the titan's arm with a piercing blow.
The titan let out a bellowing roar, the searing heat of its sword flickering for a moment as it staggered back, a look of shock and fury in its eyes.
I pressed my advantage, using the momentum of my attack to spin on my heels, the blades of my fans whistling through the air as I sent a slash of air at the creature's arm once more.
The titan's sword fell from its grasp, the blade clattering to the ground as the creature let out a deafening howl of pain and rage.
I wasted no time, darting towards the fallen sword and scooping it up with practiced ease.
The blade was still warm to the touch, the remnants of its fire sizzling along the edges of the weapon.
The titan, realizing its loss, charged towards me with a murderous intent, its massive fists raised as it sought to crush me beneath its weight.
With a burst of speed, I leaped to the side, avoiding the titan's blow as I swung the sword in a sweeping arc towards its arm.
The sword cut through the titan's armor with a slice, the creature's roar of pain echoing across the battlefield.
I pressed the attack, driving the creature back with a series of quick, precise strikes.
I activated invulnerability and felt a halo of mana coat my body, forming an impenetrable barrier against the titan's deadly blows as I continued to hack and slash at it.
The titan bellowed in rage, its fists pounding against my defensive shield as I channeled the my mana into the blade of the sword.
The flames along the edge of the weapon died and were replaced with a coat of air as I drove the sword deep into the titan's shoulder.
The creature howled in agony, the sound of its pain reverberating across the battlefield as I twisted the blade deeper, the mana scorching its flesh.
With a final, mighty shove, I wrenched the blade free from the titan's body, the creature's roar of pain turning into a gurgling whimper as it collapsed to its knees.
I stared down at the titan, its elemental power fading as its body slumped forward, the last of its life slipping away.
