Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 274: Ultimate?

Chapter 274: Ultimate?

You think you can hold me by yourself? David looked at Miles with a smirk and created a lance of Earth. It still looked a lighter shade of brown, but Miles didnt know if it had any ability or not. I know you Miles Cross. Son of Malcolm and Evelyn Cross, grandson of Mercer. Your brother is the genius Merlin Cross, and your sister is princess Marcela. But you are a failure. You failed to awaken. Yet, as a Cross, you still showed the world that a Cross is never simple. You used Strengthening Serums to advance into Form-Rank.

Unprecedented indeed. Never in history, has a human being been able to do what you did. Well, the history is not that old, so it doesnt sound that glittering, but every human who had used a serum before should know what you did is indeed times and times again harder than cultivating the superpowers. David spoke slowly. As if he wasnt worried about his man.

I admire you Miles Cross, I truly do, David said and threw the lance towards Miles. Miles dodged the lance with small movement to prevent David from making any following attack, but as if Miles was the gravitational center, the lance pulled towards his body. Miles covered his fist with energy and punched the lance, breaking it to the pieces.

Splendid! You are the strongest person in your tier! No one can match your physical powers! But, we are not in the same tier, Miles Cross! I am two years older than you. My superpower is at the peak of mid-tier, and I have a passive ability that bestows me with a more durable body. I too had used the fourth serum like you. You are not any stronger than me. David laughed heartily and started to walk towards Miles slowly.

When David was in front of Miles, a smile formed on Miles's face, as he moved at speed David could hardly respond. If you think you can catch up with me just with four serums, you are wrong!

Miles could tell that Davids movements were rigid. Although he had passed the regression period, he still wasnt at the peak of the fourth serum, so he wasnt anywhere close to Miles's peak speed even before he used the fifth serum. Now that Miles used the fifth, with the help of energy and training room in his villa, he was already a tad faster than his previous self while David was still not as strong as Miles with four serums.

But Serums werent the only things that increased Miless speed. The second step of the Exaltedness of the Creator was increasing the user's strength, speed, and durability permanently by 20 percent. Although the temporary increase in the first step was 25 percent, it was provisional after all. The second step increased his stats permanently. On top of that, he could still use the first step to increase his powers another quarter.

Miles's base power was already more than 800 units after he used the fifth serum. With the permanent increase of 20 percent, his power reached almost 1000, it was more than 400 units than Davids. Although Davids superpower allowed him to have a defense superior to Miles even after all these boosts, with his speed and strength, Miles could still trash him.

What! David looked at Miles moving close to the speed of sound. His eyes could see Miles moving, but his body could hardly respond. Miles used the dagger in his hand and attacked Davids torso, but the shield was still effective. The center of gravity around David was the shield, and the strong pulling force was deviating the trajectory of the weapon.

Miles, despite his strength, could hardly move the dagger away from the shield, but luckily, he still had a free hand. Miles covered his hand with energy as he ran the Five Fingers Claw Death. His nails got sharper while five fissures appeared in the air. When Miles brought his arm down, the five beams moved across Davids body and his stone armor crumbled to dust.

Lets see how many of them you can defend against! Miles smiled and attacked Davids head with his claws. David was defending against the dagger with the shield, so he could only swing the axe in his hand to stop Miles from attacking and forcing him to defend.

But it wasnt working, as Miles was nimbler than he was. Although his weapon had caught the gravitational force on the shield, Miles could still move around David to avoid his attacks. He was keeping the weapon on the shield on purpose to prevent David from using the shield to disturb his other attacks. At least this way, each locked an arm, and David was stuck with Miles.

Stop moving, you agile monkey! David shouted in frustration. He couldnt land a hit on Miles, and he was locked too. One of his men got killed by Miles, while the other had already been trapped by Alex. The outcome was worse than he thought.

Soon Alex fried his enemy and looked at the duo. Miles also had a grin on his face. Although David was stronger and more experienced, his lack of physical power prevented him from getting rid of Miles. He had to be locked with Miles or he would give Miles too much advantage to beat him black and blue.

Heh heh, now the table turns. Alex approached with laughter. He was already charging his attack.

Lightning formed like a giant lance in his hand. Alexs figure expanded as lightning surged into his body. Purple currents in the air gathered in his arm that was clutching the lance firmly. The posture of Alex reminded Miles of javelin throwers, but he was obviously holding a lance, although the handle was a bit longer.

As Miles predicted, after running five meters, Alex raised the lance near his head and threw it towards David who was looking stupidly. Alex long realized Miles had a tough body and lightning could hardly damage him so he didnt even warn the latter.

When lance arrived, it was too late for David to run. He was locked down by Miles, and when lance was thrown, it moved at the speed of lightning, and not long after it arrived in front of Davids body. But David wasnt weak either.

Miles felt the gravity on the shield disappear, and the shield was brought in front of David to defend against lightning. Miles was about to attack since David chose to defend against lightning lance while letting his side open, but seeing Alex's unperturbed smile, Miles just stepped back and watched as the lance arrived.

David charged the shield with gravity once again, and wanted to stop the lightning lance with the shield, but what happened next stupefied him to his core. The lightning, as if it was a ghost, passed through the shield, and pierced through his torso. It was thick enough to penetrate at least two-thirds of his torso. His left lung, heart, and rest of the organs on his left side were crushed by the lightning, while he was still looking at Alex with his eyes wide open.

At this time, the Starmap lightning inside the metal shelter left again and appeared beside Alex like a pet waiting for its master to order it.

Remember this in the afterlife. Never let the enemy charge their ultimate attacks. With this bad boy in the field, my attacks are hundreds of times stronger. Alex smirked.
