Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

Chapter 114 Entering The Ancient Titan Ruins

Before Legolas and Christensen could step foot into the ruins, Brutus stopped them. "There are dangers ahead".

Legolas turned to face the Shadow Hound with a smile. "Thanks".

"…" The Shadow Hound's expression changed before turning cold again. "For what?"

Legolas maintained his smile. "For taking us through the fastest yet safest route to locate our friend".

Unlike Christensen who was clueless the whole time, Legolas knew a lot more about their destination. The memories were already fuzzy in his head, but he still remembered some details about the notorious undead Titans.

In his previous life, Legolas knew that after Clown pulled the trick of the undead Titans, few humans survived in the desert.

They were all swept to oblivion by the unstoppable momentum of the undead Titans, all the major tribes were wiped off the face of Darvis.

Since players played just a minor role when the undead Titan arc started, he didn't know much but still, he came here alongside his buddies to farm for experience points here and knew that he was now in a battlefield.

In his previous life, before getting to the Ancient Titan ruin, you had to bulldoze through an army of undead Titans that were ready to tear you apart.

Though he knew that it was still not yet at the scale that he experienced in his previous life, the fact that they didn't meet a single undead Titan along the way was testament to Brutus's incredible talent and navigation abilities.

"…"

Listening to his master heap praise on Brutus who caused them so much trouble till now, this was what Christensen did not understand.

"You're f*cking thanking him? He literally led us to our deaths so many times, we would not have survived without Predator's help".

"He deserves no thanks". Christensen glared at the Hound.

Smack!

"…" Christensen was shocked as he rubbed his head in pain while turning to look at his master with a look of grievance on his face.

"Do you know where you are?" Legolas gestured at the surroundings.

"No…"

Smack!

Legolas wacked Christensen on the head again.

"You may have graduated from my official training, but since you remain my student, under me, learning never ends".

"Lesson number #21".

"But you've not taught me up to 20 lessons…"

Smack!

Legolas ignored his student and continued. "Lesson number #21".

He raised a hand. "When going on a mission, always research extensively about your destination and targets to avoid dying a fool's death".

He turned to face his student. "Did you do any research about the ruins or even the undead Titans that we would face in battle soon?"

Christensen scratched his ears awkwardly. "No".

Smack!

"Lesson number #22, this territory that you're seeing is called the Ancient Titan ruins". Legolas looked at Christensen again. "Do you know any history of our planet, anything about the past?"

"…" Christensen scratched his head.

Smack!

Legolas continued nonchalantly. "I read about our history recently".

"From what I read, Planet Darvis started as a planet that was inhabited by much more powerful races than humans".

"Centuries ago, Planet Darvis was recorded to have been inhabited by Trolls, Giants, the Titans, and the Ancient Founding Dragons".

"Though it sounds sus, from the recordings, we descended from the Giants and became slaves to all the other races that were superior to us".

"Over the years, we learned and evolved until we annihilated the ancient races and liberated ourselves from slavery". Legolas coughed before waving, urging his student to ignore the details.

"We were also recorded to have gotten the super knowledges from them".

"What matters is that after the end of the reign of the ancient races, humans inhabited Planet Darvis and the remains of the ancients were spread across various regions in the planet which became known as the ruins".

"This certain ruin is the Ancient Titan Ruin".

"Once a great Empire that ruled a large part of our planet, the Ancient Titans have an illustrious history and you are now stepping on it cluelessly".

"History records that the Titans were annihilated here".

"Now, they have been woken up from their eternal rest by a psychopath".

Thud! Thud!

The ground vibrated the next moment as footsteps echoed from inside the ruin. Christensen was spooked as he looked inside only to be wacked again.

Smack!

"Lesson number #23, don't ever be distracted in enemy territory".

Smack!

"Ahh, 2 slaps, master, that's unfair".

Smack!

"…"

"Lesson number #24, always know your enemy before fighting him. Knowing your enemy gives you half the victory already, the rest depends on your skills".

"Without knowing Kiddo, I would have never succeeded in winning him over. Knowledge is even more important to those in our profession, summoners".

"The Titans are undead after being woken up by the psychopaths".

"Every part of their body is immortal, they are literal undead".

"They have only one weakness, the crystal on their head".

"When attacking, aim for the head, give them an attack to eat that would choke them and the crystal that powers them with undead energy".

Thud! Thud!

Christensen looked across the broken walls of the extinct Ancient Titan empire where he saw 3 gigantic humanoid creatures now matching their way.

"I-is that the undead Titans?" He stammered.

"They're coming closer".

Smack!

"Don't ever get distracted".

"…" Christensen swallowed his tears.

Legolas stopped his lecture at this moment as the 3 massive Titans finally came out of the ruin, the Ancient Titan ruin was a huge battlefield.

It was a ruin consisting of the massive destroyed buildings and the destroyed ancient wall that were the only surviving relics of the Ancient Titan race.

Over the years, the sand already took its toil on the relics, leaving them rusted and ancient as it should be.

This battlefield was one of the headquarters of the Ancient Titan race, it was a city but now it was nothing but a bloody ruin lost in history.

Filled with massive depressions, blackened sand, a foul smell of rot and undead energy, the Ancient Titan ruin was a battlefield filled with dark energy and undead energy, the perfect battle environment for Predator.

Legolas dipped his hands into his side to bring out his G-96 pistols.

He turned to face his student. "We'll be fighting our way in".

"Remember, aim for the head".

Bam! Bam!

2 gunshots and the 2 eyes of the first unsuspecting undead Titan were destroyed, impairing its sight and giving Legolas the prime opportunity to attack.

"Predator, are you ready to rumble?"

"Roar!"

Legolas grinned.

A massive energy erupted with Legolas at the center of it all.

At 63% overall control level, he already felt invisible, at 89%, Legolas felt so powerful that at this moment, he felt like a god.

At this moment, Legolas felt on top of the world.

He threw the pistols up as his student expertly caught them.

"Make good use of them, make sure you keep up with your beasts".

Legolas felt even more power flowing through his veins.

"Roar!"

He roared to vent the feeling of being so full of power as the next moment he exploded towards the 3 undead Titans with unstoppable speed.

Having fused with Predator, he got his beast's deadly fangs and claws.

His speed was so fast at this moment that with his claws, he climbed the nearest titan and scaled its huge body. In less than a second, he arrived behind its head as with all the power in him, he attacked with his claws.

Bam!

The head of the massive Titan was literally ripped apart.

The crystal shattered helplessly as all undead life left the eyes of this Titan, the other 2 Titans changed directions and charged towards him.

Legolas did not back down, he felt so full of power.

He kicked the falling Titan and launched himself at the closest Titan of the remaining 2. Instead of using his claws this time, Legolas clenched his fists tight as he went up face to face against the Titan before throwing a punch.

-----

You have triggered one-hit KO chance!

----

The punch seemed to carry the essence of nature itself with it.

BOOM!

On collision, the face of the Titan rippled like it was just hit by a sledgehammer. It lasted only a second before bursting into a bloody mess.

Alongside its crystal, it was destroyed.

Legolas did not stop as he dived at the last of the 3 Titans who rushed out. This time, with his claws again and the claw barrage skill, he tore so fiercely at this Titan's face that its face became unrecognizable from a sack of meat.

-----

You have activated active ability: Lethal Bite

----

A lethal bite to the head and this Titan lost its head and crystal.

"Roar!" Legolas flexed the energy flowing through his veins.

"This feels so f*cking good!"
