SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Beast Horde [4.]

Kael stood motionless amidst the devastation.

His eyes swept across the enormous crater surrounding him, the shattered earth, the blood-soaked landscape, and the countless mangled corpses scattered in every direction.

"..."

Even he hadn’t expected this.

It wasn’t that he had underestimated himself.

If that had been the case, he would never have recklessly thrown himself in front of an entire beast horde.

No.

The problem was much simpler.

He genuinely had no frame of reference for just how destructive his current strength had become.

Ever since his explosive growth, he had only truly unleashed his power in two places.

The first had been inside the Tower’s start room, a place so absurdly durable that no matter how much strength he used, he couldn’t even leave behind a scratch.

The second had been inside the Instance while battling with Varek’s shadow construct. That place had been the Seat of Authority of a higher existence, a realm built to withstand overwhelming power. Even fighting at full strength there had produced nothing more than a few insignificant craters.

Compared to those places...

The battlefield beneath his feet was fragile.

Painfully fragile.

Kael slowly exhaled before pushing those thoughts aside.

There would be time to understand his strength later.

Right now...

The battle wasn’t over.

The temporary gap carved into the beast horde was already closing.

Like seawater rushing back after a stone had been thrown into it, countless monsters surged forward once again, trampling over the corpses of their fallen brethren without the slightest hesitation.

The losses they had suffered...

Were nothing more than a drop within an endless ocean.

Kael rolled his shoulders before planting one foot forward.

His breathing slowed.

His posture lowered.

One fist rested near his waist while the other extended loosely before him.

The familiar stance of his martial arts settled naturally into place.

A faint smile slowly crept across his lips.

"Come."

As though understanding the challenge...

The beast horde answered.

ROOOOOOOOOOAR!!

Thousands of monsters roared as one.

The sound rolled across the battlefield like an endless tidal wave, shaking the air itself. Dust exploded upward from the earth while the monstrous killing intent condensed into something almost tangible.

Any ordinary Awakener would have gone pale.

Many would have lost the courage to stand.

Kael only felt his blood begin to boil.

The excitement bubbling inside him became impossible to suppress.

He didn’t even wait for them to arrive.

His figure blurred.

The earth beneath his feet exploded apart as he shot forward like a cannonball.

The first beast reached him almost simultaneously.

A massive Verdant Wolf lunged through the air, its claws tearing toward his throat.

Kael didn’t dodge.

He stepped into the attack.

His fist rose from beneath his waist in one smooth motion as countless ripples of earth energy gathered around his knuckles.

Then...

He punched.

The fist collided with the wolf’s chest.

The impact wasn’t merely physical.

It detonated.

A violent pulse of earth energy erupted through the beast’s body before exploding out from its back.

Its ribs folded inward.

Its chest caved completely.

A massive hole was blasted straight through its torso.

The shockwave didn’t stop there.

It continued travelling forward in a perfectly straight line.

One beast.

Two.

Five.

Ten.

Every monster standing behind the wolf was swallowed by the devastating force.

Their bodies burst apart one after another as though pierced by an invisible spear.

Only the higher-level monsters managed to resist for the briefest of moments.

Even then...

They merely survived long enough to experience the sensation of being punched apart before joining the rest.

The battlefield echoed with dying screams.

Kael had already moved.
