Chapter 55.
An "Anomalous Event" born from the hatred for the Gods.
White hair, red eyes, a pitch-black body, and a size that had more than doubled-a giant over twenty meters tall-let out an enraged roar inside the boss room!
A colossal wave of air rushed towards him. The fully armored Eugene did not retreat in the slightest, his bull head and horns thrust straight forward.
"Specialized in Strength and Durability, possesses wide-range magical breath, capable of ultra-fast regeneration when near death, and its head is NOT a vital spot!"
Piece after piece of information flashed through his mind. Combined with the monster's performance in the anime, it was undoubtedly Level 5.
And it was a super-regenerating meat shield that was the perfect counter to insufficient burst damage!
In the original story, even Ryuu, whose skill and technique were considered the absolute peak among Level 4s, couldn't gain any advantage against this monster.
Her magic, which could blast open gates made of the hardest metal, barely scratched the giant's body.
"Heh, back to Dark Souls, huh?"
Eugene felt as if he was playing a VR Souls-like game.
A massive boss, an overly long health bar, and damage that kills in one hit.
But correspondingly, he was not a player who only knew how to roll around on the floor and steal a single hit!
Golden light leaped around his body; Eugene's movements were unprecedentedly agile.
The divine skill [Level Up], when applied to his stats, which were already exploding, resulted in an exponential increase in effect!
The vitality within his body seemed inexhaustible, like a riverbed during a flood tide, with a dramatically increased flow rate.
Moo-!!
Eugene's throat vibrated, letting out a high-pitched roar mixed with the characteristics of a wild bull and a lion.
"ROAR!!"
Facing the challenge issued by this tiny opponent, Black Goliath's face contorted, its tusks protruding.
Its four limbs, thicker than palace pillars, swung wildly, tearing open the several-meter-thick crystal layer like paper, kicking up a sky full of debris and sand.
Stomp!
The Minotaur's hooves crushed the solid ground, and raging battle fire burned in his eyes.
"Come on!"
As the short, powerful words fell, the massive monster's figure suddenly burst forth with agility disproportionate to its size, blending into the air like a gust of wind.
A silver streak of light trailed behind Eugene-the glow from the edge of his battle-axe!
Whoosh! His figure sliced through the dust like a sharp sword.
Eugene's pupils contracted. He activated a skill from a distance of over fifty meters from the black giant.
Flying Pounce XXX!
In that instant, the already blurred shadow accelerated again. The final point of his landing exploded like a hand grenade, shattering the ground into fragments!
Hoo!
Fifty meters' distance required only one leap! Only one step!
Eugene felt as light as an arrow leaving the bowstring, even though he was minute compared to his opponent.
However, he could inflict devastating damage!
Mid-air, Eugene adjusted his posture, straightened his arm, and fully exposed the giant blade of his battle-axe.
With a new and powerful weapon, he no longer had to rely on his horns.
Time to try a new skill!
Gulliver's "Gale Slash-Strike"!
Swinging the battle-axe in a full circle, Eugene rapidly spun like a top. His slash surpassed Gulliver's in speed, range, and power.
The shadow of the battle-axe in his hand immediately transformed into a complete, circular light blade!
In that moment, a pale wind sickle, accompanied by an extremely dangerous whizzing sound, effortlessly slid past the giant's ankle.
Following closely behind was a spray of black blood, gushing out like a high-pressure pump!
Black Goliath's ankle had been severed by more than half in a single strike by Eugene! "Aooooah!!"
Losing one of its ankles in just one exchange, the Goliath's massive weight immediately lost support, and it staggered to one side.
Its throat let out an unwilling roar, and its five fingers clawed fiercely into the crystal walls on both sides, barely maintaining its posture.
But even so, that ankle was twisted to the side at a horrifying angle.
"Haha!! Man relies on clothes, a horse relies on a saddle!"
Eugene was one hundred percent certain that ordinary equipment absolutely could not produce such an effect!
Ryuu's exclusive weapon, the "Wooden Sword: Elven Glow," was a genuine Level 2 weapon, yet in battle, it could only barely tear through this giant's flesh.
In comparison, the battle-axe forged by Tsubaki was a full level stronger in all aspects.
Eugene laughed wildly, his speed unabated, and rushed toward the giant's other heel.
He swung the giant axe once more, and the intense wind pressure actually tore a mark on the ground.
Activate skills: "Inch Long, Inch Strong" + "Powerful Blow" + "Gale Slash-Strike"!
Unlike anyone else, Eugene, with his system panel, could use multiple skills simultaneously.
If he wanted to, he could even merge magic and skills.
Bang!
However, this time, there was no clean severing sound in his ear.
The reason was that Eugene's giant axe was deeply embedded in Goliath's bone.
Good heavens, that couldn't even be severed...
Feeling the tremor in the axe handle, Eugene's eyes narrowed, having just finished showing off only to face a setback.
His opponent wasn't just standing there waiting for him to attack.
After taking the damage from the first axe strike, this monster, which supposedly lacked combat inTerrygence, had learned to meet force with force!
"No wonder you were sent to assassinate a God!"
Eugene glanced back, seeing the giant's almost completely ruined ankle rapidly twisting.
Large chunks of flesh rapidly reconnected, and in just a few breaths, it had completely returned to its original state!
This was an advanced magic that even the Dungeon's deeper-level bosses did not possess-ultra-fast regeneration!
This thing is too useful!!
Eugene's eyes were feverish, his mouth splitting into a wide grin.
I want it, I really want it!
That skill, I must steal it!
He made his declaration at the foot of the giant, raising his head, meeting the opponent's gaze, which also contained a strong conviction!
Kill!
I must kill you!
The two males, holding endless murderous intent for each other, glared at one another.
Three seconds later, they simultaneously launched themselves, and the battle resumed!
From Black Goliath's mouth, a powerful magical pulsation began to gather. Veins of energy made the air tremble.
And the movements of its hands did not stop at all; while charging up, it fiercely attacked Eugene!
Something's wrong!
Eugene sensed the feeling of incongruity.
In the anime, although this thing was equally powerful, it definitely didn't possess such refined technique.
Once it entered charging mode, it would definitely stand rigidly and enter a state of hard-lock.
In the anime, it was only by relying on its powerful recovery ability that it could withstand round after round of attacks and sweep the adventurers.
But now, it could act simultaneously.
The giant hand came sweeping towards Eugene from the side like a net, while the other was tightly clenched into a fist, ready to strike!
But facing the giant hand's siege, which could easily tear through the stone walls, Eugene was unconcerned.
An overly massive size also meant bigger blind spots!
He executed a dive, moving behind the Goliath.
The next second, before his opponent could turn around, he swung the battle-axe, chopping down onto the giant leg.
Puchu, the axe blade fully sank into the flesh, and black blood sprayed.
"The blind spot of a fierce man is applicable everywhere~"
Eugene grinned maliciously, kicking off the ground. The bull-man clung to Goliath's thigh, and before the giant could shake him off, he activated Flying Pounce again!
Hoo!
Like a great-winged grasshopper, Eugene quickly reached the Goliath's back in a few bounds.
He repeated his trick, using the axe as a grappling hook to stick tightly to the center of the giant's back.
"Roar aooaoo-!!"
With immense power but nowhere to strike, Goliath's arms grabbed at the air in frantic motions.
But no matter how hard it struggled, its body structure ensured it couldn't touch Eugene in the slightest!
Bang!
Its large foot stomped and shattered the ground. The black giant, infuriated, turned its body, facing its back toward the thick rock wall.
Then-it slammed backward fiercely!
Even for Eugene, who possessed the body of a magical beast, taking a hit like this would definitely be disastrous!
But at this critical moment, Eugene showed no intention of escaping.
The muscles on his arms bulged, and red filled his eyes.
He had clearly activated "Frenzy"!
Crunch crunch!
The irresistible axe, toward the depths of the giant's thick flesh, pierced in little by little!
Large amounts of black blood kept gushing out, almost drenching Eugene completely.
But this still couldn't conceal the pure white light spreading from his hands!
"Demonize!"
[Sacrifice a pinch of bull hair, gain a super-boosted enhancement for 3 seconds!]
At this point, Goliath was only one step away from the rock wall!
There was no time for three seconds, not even one second!
"Ignite 300 Strength, 300 Durability, 300 Dexterity, 300 Agility, 300 Magic! A total of 1500 attribute points!"
Hoo!!
In this instant, an overwhelming surge of pure energy, like a tidal wave, swelled from within the giant's body!
Eugene's hands felt as if they were grasping a blazing sun!
"Infinity-!!!"
