Chapter 1250 Insane Growth Pace (Part 3)

...…

Shin stared at the huge burning creature for a couple of moments, waiting for it to fully reveal itself. He was itching to test some of his newly acquired skills and techniques in actual battle, so this guy came at the right time.

Not long after, the huge creature that came out from the lava revealed its entire body. It was a monster that looked like a hybrid of an alligator and a bear.

Its body was fit and muscular, showcasing a powerful physique. With its broad shoulders, fit chest, and perfectly shaped waist, this monster resembled a human upper body.

Its lower body and long arms, on the other hand, were similar to an alligator. It was filled with tough yet smooth scales that reflected the fiery light of the scorching hot surface of the magma river.

Its back was also filled with these scales which ran down to its tail was still submerged under the magma river.

Its head was similar to a real alligator with a ferocious look. Its burning eyes were glaring at Shin sharply, seemingly telling him that he would not leave this place alive.

Using his 'True Sight' Skill, Shin looked at the basic information of the monster.

-----------------

[Monster Name]: Wrath of the Burning River

[Monster Type]: Beast, Amphibian

[Monster Index]: Tri-Elemental Mutation

[Monster Rank]: Overlord

Level: 165

Health Points: 100,000,000/ 100,000,000

-----------------

Shin slightly creased his brows when he saw the information reflected right in front of his eyes. He could not help but have mixed feelings.

It was a Level 165 Overlord which meant that it was as strong as the three Overlord Rank Monsters that he had encountered in the Starry Spears Mountain Forest – the Stoneback Gorilla, the Ironhead Chimpanzee, and the Steelfist Ape.

This meant that this monster should be as powerful as those three, if not more.

But the strange thing was this monster only had a hundred million of health. It was still a huge number, but it was far from what a monster on this rank and level was supposed to have.

This could only mean two things – this monster had a very high defense or strong regenerative powers. Worse, it could even be both.

Moreover, Shin also felt that the monster index of this guy was somewhat strange. It indicated that it was a mutated monster, which meant that there was a high chance that it possessed a Beast Core.

And from what he could see, its Beast Core should be from three different elements given what the monster index had indicated. It was a core that was more likely formed from the elements of fire, earth, and metal.

Shin licked his lips behind his mask as he suddenly became even more excited. "Alright! Since you present yourself voluntarily, I will grant your wish and be my 'sparring' partner!"

Laughing, Shin spread his wings wide before dividing down.

Swoosh!

He turned into a streak of light and flew straight to the giant alligator.

Roar!

The monster suddenly became enraged when it saw Shin taking the initiative to challenge it. It felt insulted that this little human being had the guts to fight it on its territory.

It then raised its head and slammed it onto the burning magma river, sending a huge splash in the air and creating a wall.

Unfortunately for this monster, this one challenging it was not an ordinary human.

Swoosh!

Seeing the curtain of magma blocking his path, Shin calmly put his right hand on the hilt of the [Yamato] while channeling his mana into it.

Since he was planning to test his progress, he was not planning to use any of his Elemental Spirit Possession in this battle. Instead, he would be relying on his power and techniques under the Reality Manifestation.

His breathing changed as he used the 'Solar Breathing Technique'. The flow of energy within him moved accordingly as a scorching heat flowed through his meridians.

The blazing mana was channeled into his sword, making a fiery light shine through the little gap between the guard of the sword and its sheath.

Hu~!

As Shin breathed out, white steam suddenly came out from his mouth while being swept away by the wind as he continued moving forward.

Swoosh!

'Jade Kirin Scripture: Quick Draw (Fire Form): Solar Flare'

Shing!

Swoosh!

A blazing trail was left behind the tip of his sword as a burning crescent wave flew toward the curtain of magma.

Surprisingly, there was no explosion upon the collision. Instead, the crescent wave that Shin had sent cut through the curtain of magma and spit it in halves.

Shin quickly flapped his wings and swiftly flew through the gap that his previous attack had created and continued diving down.

Swoosh!

lightsnοvεl.cοm But as if the alligator monster was already expecting that to happen, it quickly moved its arms and swung toward Shin while a thick magma was covering its claws.

Upon crossing through the gap of the magma curtain, Shin was immediately greeted by these blazing claws. It was already upon him and about to fall from above, trying to shred him into pieces.

Despite being in such a predicament, Shin calmly adjusted his posture in the air while changing the flow of his breathing.

This time, he switched from the 'Solar Breathing Technique' to the 'Great Dominator Technique'.

Right after he changed his breathing technique, the flow of energy within him changed accordingly. From the scorching mana flowing through his meridians, it suddenly changed to a heavy and domineering mana.

Shin's body also responded according to this new mana flowing through his meridians. His entire body released an earthen glow.

At the same time, he flipped the sheath that he was holding on his left hand, changing from a reverse grip to an orthodox one.

Along with his actions, the sheath's form quickly turned into a greatsword.

'Legacy Style: Mondi's Style – Judgement Form'

Boom!

Without further ado, he quickly swung the greatsword upwards as its surface was suddenly enfolded with the earthen mana that was coming from his body. There was also a series of runes that flowed through the blade of the sword, which reinforced its toughness and increased its weight.

'Perfected Four Symbol Scripture: Divine Yellow Dragon Method – Mountain Crusher'

Shin was able to push the descending claws of a giant alligator with that strike, rebounding it back in the air. But at the same time, he was also thrown down due to strong force from the impact.

He quickly flipped his body during the flight, adjusting his angle in the air before spreading his wings wide.

His descent toward the magma river greatly slowed down due to his actions, so he was able to quickly fly over the surface of the scorching river before flying high up in the air once again.

His previous attack was just an experiment and a spur-of-the-moment after following his instincts. He was not planning to combine Mondi's Style, the Great Dominator Technique, and the Divine Yellow Dragon Method yet since he was still not that familiar with the latter two.

However, it was quite a surprise that he was able to pull it off successfully despite that being the case.

He was still planning to rely on the more familiar techniques that he had been using recently, especially with his high affinity for Fire Elemental Mana.

But given the current situation, it seemed like he would be able to continue with this path.

It was at this moment that he was a Battle Genius. He was someone who could continuously improve in battle rather than doing some intense training.

He was now reminded of the answer that was right in front of him. This was how he was supposed to combine everything that he had learned both outside and inside the game.

"That's right! This is how it is supposed to be!" he muttered as he excitedly looked at the monster below him.

He felt like an idiot for forgetting about this fact, but he quickly recovered his composure.

Spreading his wings wide, he suddenly dived from the air once again he continued his assault.

Swoosh!

The giant alligator raised its head and opened its mouth wide after seeing Shin coming down once again. It roared with full rage before raising its claws and pointing at Shin.

Splash! Splash!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following the actions of the alligator, the magma river where it stood suddenly showed some signs of strange movements.

Not long after, a whirlpool appeared on the magma river with the giant alligator standing at the center.

Then a series of splashing should be heard as blazing stone pillars suddenly shot from the magma river and flew straight to Shin.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Shin moved his body in the air, doing a series of aerial maneuvers to dodge the incoming stone pillars. He even left a series of afterimages as he moved, confusing the monster boss.

Roar!

With a deafening roar, the giant alligator suddenly raised both of its arms in the air. Then, following its actions, the magma river suddenly rose and formed another curtain of magma was formed.

This curtain of magma was much thicker than the one that was summoned previously.

This time, Shin did not force his way through and instead halted his advance by spreading his wings wide.

But despite doing that, he did not pause his other actions.

He switched his grip over the greatsword on his left hand and held it with a throwing posture. He then infused the Earth Elemental Mana on it before throwing the greatsword with all his might.

Swoosh!

'Perfected Four Symbol Scripture: Divine Yellow Dragon Method – Meteor Strike'

The greatsword turned into a stream of light during its descent. Its momentum was like a meteor crashing down from the sky and heading straight to the ground.

Swoosh!

It even formed a huge hole in the curtain of magma blocking its path as it continued flying forward.

Boom!

Within an instant, the greatsword arrived right in front of the giant alligator and struck the center of its brows accurately.

(-100,000)

The head of the giant alligator was pushed back, making it stumble a little while trying to regain its balance.

The attack hit successfully, but Shin was not that happy as he could see that the damage he dealt despite how strong his attack was quite pitiful.

It could be considered strong in the early stage of the game, but with how things were right now, it was far from enough.

Moreover, this monster still had a quite healthy HP Bar, which indicated that the damage that he had dealt was negligible.

What's worse was his pitiful damage was immediately healed due to the high regeneration rate of the monster.

Tsk! Tsk!

Clicking his tongue, Shin shook his head before continuing.

Swoosh!

His body disappeared and suddenly reappeared right in front of the face of the giant alligator within an instant.

'Elemental Skill (Shadow): Shadow Mark'

He then expended his left hand and grabbed the greatsword stuck between the brows of the monster before pulling it back.

At the same time, his breathing technique changed once again along with the flow of mana circulating within his body. Accompanying this change, the heavy and domineering mana flowing in his meridians turned into tough and sharp mana.

A golden glow shrouded his body as the greatsword transformed into a longsword.

'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Style – Meteor Form'

Holding the [Yamato] on his right and the transparent longsword on his left, Shin infused the mana with metallic nature within him toward the pair of swords before throwing a series of slashes in front of him.

'Perfected Four Symbol Scripture: Saint White Tiger Method – Ferocious Assault'

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A series of sword flashes appeared in front of Shin as he swung his swords multiple times.

(-20,232), (-21,923), (19,293), …

A series of damages also floated above the head of the giant alligator, indicating the inflicted damage that Shin had dealt.

(+10,000), (+10,000), (+10,000), …

But at the same time, there was also a series of green numbers mixed with the red numbers, clearly showing the powerful regeneration of the monster.

It was nullifying most of the damage that Shin had dealt, making him quite speechless.

Regardless, he did not lose his confidence and continued to attack with a series of skills while dodging the counterattacks that the giant alligator had thrown at him.

He knew that he could not afford to stop, nor pause, even for a moment because all the damage that he had dealt would disappear within an instance once he did.

But despite the current situation, Shin could still not wipe the wide smile behind his mask as he was enjoying this battle.

It was not because this monster was powerful, but it was because he found a perfect sandbag to test his skills and apply his theories.

He was also using all the mentalism techniques and swordsmanship that he had, witching between the Perfected Four Symbol Scripture and the quick draw and sword movements under the Jade Kirin Scripture.

He was quite enjoying the entire process and showing insane growth that even he, himself, was not expecting.
