Chapter 607: I Want to Beat Ten
As Suolim's voice fell, Axi Na launched a charge.
To be precise, it was a Thunder Charge!
This is the storm giant's exclusive supreme Element, which on the basis of a charge combines lightning power to accelerate instantly, faster than a charge, farther in distance, smashing any target in its path, unleashing a lightning attack on enemies along the way, and at the moment of impact releases multiple times the power, unstoppable.
A Level‑1 Thunder Charge can unleash double power.
And Axi Na's Thunder Charge has been trained to Level‑3, speed so fast it's indistinguishable from real lightning; she lowers her center of gravity, holds her round shield in front, in a blink crosses a hundred meters, her towering body creates a straight, wide lightning storm across the arena.
Boom!
Axi Na rushed to the target spot; the void within ten‑plus meters trembled, but no lightning burst erupted.
She realized she had hit empty air, promptly withdrew the lightning burst to save stamina.
Lei En vanished.
Axi Na lost her target halfway through the charge, suddenly discovering that her "Thunder Eagle Eye" could not locate Lei En's trace; she quickly turned to search, to no avail. The lilting music from Lei En also fell silent.
An unseen enemy is always the most troublesome.
Especially since Lei En constantly claims to be a Wizard, possessing ranged attack capability.
Axi Na without hesitation stomped heavily, releasing a "Thunder Stomp", a rumbling boom, the ground shook, circles of roaring massive lightning erupted beneath her feet, spreading in an instant, covering most of the arena in a flash.
At the same time, a four‑ring "Static Field" expanded.
At the arena's edge, the watching Storm Giants nodded slightly; Axi Na's counter‑tactics were spot‑on, and her reaction was swift enough.
Thunder Stomp struck the hidden target.
The Static Field can slow approaching foes, creating an opportunity for counter‑attack.
However, in the next second the giants were dumbfounded.
Thunder Stomp indeed hit the target, but not one—ten! Each looked exactly like Lei En, clad in mithril light armor, a blood‑red cape draped behind, dazzling wind‑and‑thunder wings, gripping dark‑gold war hammers, surrounding Axi Na from all directions and the sky.
"Mirror Image Technique!"
A Storm Giant shouted hoarsely.
They strained to observe these nine Lei En, their eyes fixed. Because they realized they could not distinguish Mirror Images from the originals; each seemed like a real one, moving differently—some raising a hand to cast, some swinging hammers to charge, some vanishing after being stomped.
The scene instantly turned into a chaotic melee of ten versus one.
"How do we fight this?" some Storm Giants complained bitterly.
Storm Giants are born mastering lightning, their racial talent is extremely high, but it also limits learning other spells; they essentially only know lightning magic and are clueless about Arcane.
This ten‑against‑one brawl tactic is downright cheeky.
Axi Na swept quickly over the Mirror Images, her heart sinking; Thunder Eagle Eye likewise could not tell Mirror Images from the originals.
She recognized the property of "Endless Storm", instantly realizing these Mirror Images were copies created when Lei En wielded "Endless Storm", each bearing a seven‑ring "Real Barrier" that muddled her detection.
"Endless Storm really works well with him," Axi Na thought briefly.
Then the Mirror Images' attack arrived.
Ten Mirror Images: four charged from different directions, four kept distance to cast, and two were nowhere to be seen.
Axi Na forcefully stepped on the Titan blue‑forged ground, targeting a casting Lei En with a Thunder Charge.
She had just taken a step when several spells descended.
Rainbow Light Ray!
Thunderclap Technique!
Light Burst Technique!
Space-Time Shock!
The seven‑ring Rainbow Light Ray struck Axi Na's unarmored thigh.
A layer of electric‑like light membrane appeared, canceling most of the power, but ultimately it pierced through, leaving a shallow wound on the leg. The Mirror Image's spell was only half strength, not lethal, but unfortunately triggered a "Freeze", causing the surrounding space‑time to tighten like rope, making her whole body stiff.
Such a Freeze could not encase a charging Titan Giant; it shattered in an instant.
But at the same time, the Thunderclap Technique detonated overhead.
The Light Burst Technique also cleverly gathered into a beam, striking Axi Na's face, heading straight for her eyes. Caught off guard, her vision was flooded with white light, turning blurry.
Then, the Space‑Time Shock hit.
Axi Na had no spell to interrupt; the shock produced a jolt akin to a light tickle, but her perception suffered a brief misalignment, leaving her dazed for a moment.
Freeze, ringing ears, blindness, daze.
The four negative effects appeared almost simultaneously, overlapping; even with the Titan Giant's strong magical resistance and its "Iron Will", it eventually lost control of its body, stumbling.
That was deadly for a high‑speed Axi Na.
She immediately lost balance and fell heavily.
Axi Na's body rolled on the ground; a Mirror Image flashed forward, swinging its war hammer at her head. The Static Field she maintained activated, spawning bolts of lightning from the void that wrapped around the Mirror Image's limbs, slowing its movements.
Bang!
At the critical moment, Axi Na's spirit recovered, promptly raising the round shield to protect her head; the war hammer struck the shield solidly.
Clang! A burst rang out.
Lei En's Mirror Image did not trigger a Thunder Heavy Strike; lightning could hardly harm a Titan Giant, so it unleashed a "Destruction Critical", erupting with fivefold power.
The center of the round shield immediately dented inward.
Affected by the Static Field, the Mirror Image couldn't exert its full strength, yet still drove the entire shield down, pressing it onto Axi Na's head, obscuring her view.
The second Mirror Image also charged, swinging its hammer at Axi Na's abdomen.
The third Mirror Image leapt into the air, raising its hammer overhead, body arched back like a massive bow, then crashed down from height.
The fourth Mirror Image swung its hammer, flanking from the opposite side.
Just a glimpse, Axi Na fell into a surrounded beating, lying on the ground hammered repeatedly, bang bang chaotic sounds, causing the Storm Giants at the side to gape in astonishment; some giants who admired Axi Na were so anxious they jumped about, eager to help.
This human hits too hard!
Axi Na was battered like a sandbag by four Lei En for several seconds, the war hammer struck her body, emitting a muffled thud like a ground bombardment, leaving a series of bloody, flesh‑torn wounds.
The body of Lei En hovered in midair, cloaked in the invisibility of the Rainbow Light Cloak, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"What a solid body, truly worthy of a Titan Giant!"
The Mirror Image's power is only half that of the body; although it doesn't reach legendary Element level, it is still level eleven, each hammer delivering a devastating critical hit at five times the force, yet it can only inflict light injuries on Axi Na. Without boosting attack, it might take over a hundred hammers to defeat her.
Given Axi Na's combat experience, she could not possibly allow herself to hammer a hundred times.
"Ah!"
A high‑pitched battle roar rang out.
The battle roar, powered by Titan divine strength, generated a visible shockwave that pushed the four surrounding Mirror Images several meters away.
Axi Na seized the chance, rolled and rose.
The four Mirror Images, keeping their distance, were already prepared and unleashed another set of "Rainbow Light Ray + Thunderclap Technique + Light Burst Technique + Space-Time Shock" simultaneously, attempting to make her lose control again.
But this time, Axi Na was already prepared.
Her body instantly swelled to six meters tall, and she placed the simultaneously enlarged round shield atop her head to block the Thunderclap Technique; she also closed her eyes in time, nullifying the Light Burst Technique. The Rainbow Light Ray struck her chest, triggering "Burning"; the resulting Arcane fire could not pierce her skin.
The brief disorienting effect of the Space-Time Shock also had little impact.
After the blocking spell passed, Axi Na immediately shrank to about three meters, maintaining agile footwork; her feet moved rapidly within a small area, causing the two fastest returning Mirror Images to become misaligned, allowing her to face only one opponent temporarily.
She lunged forward a step, swinging the round shield.
The shield struck hard!
Titan divine power combined with a level‑seven force burst, instantly deflecting the war hammer from the Mirror Image's hand; her right‑handed long sword slipped forward from beneath the shield, delivering a level‑five Armor Penetration thrust.
Poof!
The sword tip sprayed a trail of sparks, as if striking steel, and ultimately pierced the Mirror Image's chest, the tip emerging from its back.
Axi Na quickly drew the sword, discovering it was stuck.
Her complexion shifted slightly.
She then saw this Lei En's mouth curve upward, revealing a strange smile. His hands turned metallic in hue; his left hand grasped the long sword that had pierced the chest, while his right hand clenched a massive iron fist, hammering fiercely.
Indestructible Iron Fist!
Axi Na decisively released the long sword, crossing her legs to evade the war hammer striking from the side.
Her mastery of the Shadowless Step was profound, swift as lightning, leaving afterimages behind; in an instant she slipped past the encirclement of two Mirror Images, and a spear over three meters long materialized in her hand, its shaft flashing with Electric Flash Teleport, simultaneously launching a thunderous charge.
Bang!
One Mirror Image that ignored evasion collided head‑on, its body torn into pieces.
Nearby, another Mirror Image was pierced by the lightning spear, leaving a bowl‑sized hole in its chest.
The two Mirror Images turned into bubbles and vanished.
The Mirror Image previously pierced by a sword also disappeared; the long sword fell, and a nearby Mirror Image caught it and tossed it out of the arena.
In the blink of an eye three Mirror Images were eliminated, and the Storm Giants shouted in triumph.
"Axi Na will win!"
"Axi Na, defeat this cowardly human…"
Several Titan Giants were not so optimistic; the battle had lasted less than ten seconds, and it was already hard to contend with the fact that all opponents facing Axi Na were Mirror Images. Lei En's body was still unlocated, surely preparing sharper attacks.
The thought hadn't even finished forming when the giants sensed magical fluctuations overhead.
Looking up, they saw two azure great swords materialize, each over three meters long, blades nearly half a meter wide yet as thin as cicada wings, emitting a faint blue sheen, extraordinarily wondrous.
"What spell is this?" the giants asked, puzzled.
Even Elder Suo Lim was a bit confused; he knew something about the outside world, but not all Arcane arts, let alone one created by a human Wizard.
"He's there!"
The casting wave exposed Lei En's body's location.
Axi Na, under assault by seven Mirror Images, also noticed. She looked upward, let out a roar, enlarged her form to block a wave of magical bombardment, withstanding three Mirror Images' war hammers; with a crack, she transformed into a massive lightning bolt that surged toward the airborne Lei En.
A Mirror Image, already in invisibility and on standby, promptly launched a Space-Time Shock.
Boom!
Axi Na's Electric Flash Teleport rose only a few meters before being interrupted, and she fell clumsily, staring intently at Lei En, fearing he would disappear again.
However, Lei En did not become invisible again.
The two Rending Sky Swords suddenly sped forward, tracing faint paths at speeds beyond naked eye perception, one left, one right, striking Axi Na from extremely cunning angles.
Simultaneously, several Mirror Images surrounded her again.
Axi Na sensed extreme danger; Mirror Images were already tricky, and with Lei En's two summoned azure magic swords, she feared she could not parry them.
She no longer dared hope to defeat Lei En, only to endure for a minute.
"Ho!"
Axi Na let out a fierce roar, her body rapidly expanding, and in an instant surpassed twelve meters. Titan divine power allowed her to control her size; the larger she became, the stronger her power, defense, and magical resistance, though at the cost of agility and speed, making close combat disadvantageous.
Twelve meters tall was the largest form Axi Na had mastered so far.
In this form, her strength reached level thirteen.
The same level Element yields greater effective power the larger the body in actual combat.
Her mountain‑sized, towering frame, mighty and unyielding, crackled with electric currents; she lifted a foot heavily and slammed down, unleashing a Thunderous Stomp.
Rumble!
The entire Thunder God Arena quaked, causing several non‑legendary Storm Giants at the edge to nearly fall, and half of the Storm Temple could hear explosion‑like thunder.
Arms‑thick bolts of lightning surged and roared, engulfing the nearby Mirror Images on the ground; there was no escape, not even the Electric Flash Teleport could evade.
The tsunami‑like shockwave blasted all Mirror Images into the air.
This Thunderous Stomp's full‑power lightning, comparable to an Eight‑Ring Spell, eliminated three more Mirror Images in a single burst.
Four Mirror Images flying in midair escaped a disaster.
Amid the raging lightning, the two Rending Sky Swords remained unharmed; lightning striking the blades only rippled faintly, their speed unchanged, and in the blink of an eye they surged forward.
Axi Na's round shield expanded to a five‑meter diameter, smashing the edge of the shield hard into one demon sword while she thrust her spear at the other.
Sss!
With a screech like glass being sliced, the round shield was instantly cut away in a large piece, only slightly altering the Rending Sky Sword's trajectory as it flashed past the Titan Giant's waist, carving a half‑meter‑deep wound.
Fresh blood splattered.
Axi Na didn't furrow her brow; steel Willpower gave her unyielding resolve, and her right hand, wielding the spear, remained steady and swift, striking the other Rending Sky Sword.
The result was worse: the spear tip was sliced off, clanging to the ground.
The Rending Sky Sword left a wound on her right arm.
"What a sharp demon sword..." Only now did Axi Na have a moment to be astonished.
She knew exactly how strong her defense was now; standing still while ordinary legendary tribe members attacked could hardly cause damage, yet these two lightweight floating azure great swords easily sliced her skin, leaving deep wounds.
What Axi Na didn't know was that Lei En was also marveling at her defensive power.
The Rending Sky Sword can pierce even the divine sun‑spotted viper in a single strike, yet it could only scar the Titan Giant; with Axi Na's regenerative ability, the half‑meter‑deep wound healed in an instant.
Twenty seconds had passed.
Only four Mirror Images remained.
Lei En muttered to himself, thinking that with Axi Na's defense and resistance, even at full strength he might not defeat her within a minute.
Without the Thunder God's Hammer in hand, facing Axi Na head‑on would likely be a disadvantage.
"I was careless this time..."
It's five o'clock again... still three chapters behind, probably won't finish this month, continue on the 1st and 2nd! Please give 2000 monthly tickets, next month adds another lottery chance (﹏).
