YM778.TV Chapter 69: Battling The Three Stonemen Leaders (Fixed)
The metal cudgel shattered to pieces as the force ran through the third Stonemen leader. His body shook and with blood spilling out from his lips, The overwhelming power of the attack launched him backward, his body hurtling through the air like a cannonball, slamming into the far hillside with a deafening crash.
"Pfft!"
It was unknown if he was dead or still alive.
Tron\'s eyes were cold. Ordinary Rank 1 single line Magical creature weren\'t exactly his match anymore. He didn\'t want to waste time on them when there are Single magic line and gold Magical creatures here that he could farm points from.
The First Leader, towering like a giant over the battlefield, roared with fury.
"Hoomaaaaaan! Dieeeeee!!!"
His rage echoed through the valley as his enormous form blurred with sudden, unnatural speed, closing the distance between him and Tron in an instant. His massive body, now casting a dark shadow, seemed to blot out the very moonlight as he raised his gigantic fist high above his head.
The air trembled as the monstrous leader\'s fist descended like a mountain, aiming to crush Tron under its immense weight.
Tron\'s face changed slightly. With a sharp twist of his waist, he channeled all his strength into his legs, grounding himself firmly. His hands gripped the hilt of his massive blade as he generated a powerful momentum, spinning his body with precision and unleashing a forceful upward strike.
"KA-BOOM!!!"
A massive and visible grey shockwave exploded in a circular motion. Space rippled like boulder dipped in stone as. At the epicenter of the collision, tiny spatial distortions appeared—like stretch marks in the air, cracks in the veil of existence. These spatial lines radiated outward like the fractures of a broken mirror, spreading from the point of impact.
The world around them trembled, the ground splitting apart as the shockwave expanded in all directions, sending dust, rocks, and debris flying into the sky.

[+8 strength, +800 limit points ]
[+2 agility, +200 limit points ]
"BOOM!"
Tron\'s right knee smashed against the ground and shattered it like glass.
His left leg dug deep into the Rocky floor until his ankle couldn\'t be seen anymore.
Tron\'s arms immediately went numb, his arms bulged and terrifying veins appeared across his neck to his chest eyes, back and thighs.
Some little blood vessels exploded spraying small amounts of blood in the air.
Activating Blood Rage didn\'t give the same effect as it once did before as he was now incredibly powerful and his cells could sustain the burst of energy without much stress. Hence, his body didn\'t give much side effect like bulging muscles and inflated body.
But with this extreme force, his cells were now beginning to show reactions. Moreover, that attack was simply too strong.
At the same time, the second Stonemen leader\'s attack reached Tron, sweeping its cudgel at Tron\'s exposed defense and smashed it against his head.
"Whoosh!"
The air burst apart from the strength of the attack and even Tron could feel the shockwave before it arrived. Magical creatures were definitely something for sure.
In an instant, Tron\'s pupils constricted, calculating his next move. He clenched his fist tightly, and a faint crimson glow began to emanate from his right arm—a manifestation of his blood rage, fueling his power beyond normal limits.
With a roar, Tron punched directly at the incoming cudgel, the crimson light intensifying as it collided with the massive metal pole.
"BAM!"
Time seemed to freeze in that moment. The impact was so powerful that it felt as though reality itself paused. Tron\'s fist connected with the cudgel, and for a brief moment, it seemed like the two forces were evenly matched. But then, his face flushed red, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth as the pressure surged through his body. His bones rattled, and his muscles rumbled.
A split second later, the full force of the attack fully effected. Tron was launched sideways, his body spinning like a tennis ball hit by an enormous racket.
[+10 physique, +1000 limit points ]
[+10 strength, +1000 limit points ]
[+3 agility, +300 limit points ]
Tron bounced once in the ground and twisted his body, standing stably on the ground as he drifted backward, his legs creating two massive lines on the ground.
"ROAR!" "ROAR!"
Seeing Tron was still alive and standing even after such attacks, the two creatures moved like a rolling stone. Their steps heavy but incredibly fast. They appeared before Tron and attacked almost at the same time.
Tron glanced at his status window.
[Singularity Magus (43%) complete]
The increasing strength negated his numbed arms and suppressed his internal injuries as the purple crystal started getting to work.
"I should be as strong as the Rank 1 Single magic line Creature now."
Tron felt it when he took the attack from the Rank 1 Single magic line Stonemen leader. Tron thought about it and still decided to continue grinding.
Morning would arrive in an hour or so and the Crystal\'s effect was starting to fade with the night.
Tron didn\'t want to waste such an opportunity like this to grow stronger.
When the first leader\'s attack came crashing down, Tron met it head-on. His blade clashed against the massive metal weapon, sparks flying as shockwaves erupted from the collision. Meanwhile, the second leader swung at him from the side, but Tron didn\'t dodge or block with his weapon—he simply raised his fist, infused with the crimson glow of his blood rage.
"Bang!"
His fist met the cudgel with terrifying slash, sending the second leader staggering back. The ground beneath them cracked from the pressure of their attacks.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The relentless cycle of attacks continued, the sound of metal clashing with flesh and bone filling the air as the three titans engaged in a brutal battle.
For over thirty minutes, they exchanged devastating attacks. At first, Tron had struggled to hold his own, but as the fight wore on, he adapted. His movements became sharper, his strikes more precise and stronger.
Tron was now starting to get bored. They were not releasing much stat points as before. But at least, it was better than nothing.
At this points, Tron grew complacent and flug Megaton away, embedding it within a rock and started fighting the two leaders with just his fists alone.
His fists trembled as they collided with the massive weapons of the two Stonemen leaders. Despite the force of their blows, Tron barely flinched. Instead, he felt a familiar warmth coursing through his body as his system registered the results of the battle:
[+1 Physique, +100 Limit Points][+1 Strength, +100 Limit Points][+1 Agility, +100 Limit Points]
The warm current flowing through his muscles was the reward for enduring the attacks. His cells absorbed the kinetic energy, tempering and refining his body 20,000 times faster to ordinary humans.
Every strike forged him further, his physical capabilities growing at an exponential rate.
Tron flexed his fingers, feeling the raw power that now surged through him. He remembered the pain of his past—ten years as a test subject, enduring agonizing experiments that pushed his body to its limits. Compared to that, this battle was nothing. The pain of his muscles tearing and healing, of his bones hardening, was a familiar sensation, almost comforting in its intensity.
But despite his progress, Tron couldn\'t help but feel a tinge of disappointment. The continuous stream of stat increases had begun to slow.
The terrifying Stonemen Leader\'s attacks no longer provided the same challenge.
The stats he was receiving was reducing. Tron sighed in disappointment.
"They\'re tired," Tron thought, his eyes narrowing as he watched the two towering figures in front of him. Their once relentless strikes were slowing, their breathing heavy. They were strong, but even their massive frames had limits.
Just as Tron prepared to deliver the finishing blow, the unexpected happened.
Instead of launching another attack, the second Stonemen leader changed tactics. It moved with a sudden burst of speed , reaching out and grabbing hold of Tron\'s fist. Before Tron could react, the creature yanked him forward, pulling him into a crushing bear hug.
For the first time in this battle, Tron was stunned.
"ROAR!"
The second Stonemen leader\'s arcane energy surged to life, causing the surrounding rocks and sand to tremble and rise.
Like a powerful magnet, they flew toward the Second leader with insane speed, attaching to its body and enveloping it. The rocks continued to gather, building layer upon layer until the creature and Tron were completely encased, transforming into what looked like a small mountain.
Both Tron and the second Stonemen leader vanished from sight.
But the fight was far from over.
