SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: End Of The Reassessment Test.

The Emberfang Tiger crossed the remaining distance in the blink of an eye.

Its body became a streak of crimson fire, the overwhelming heat pouring from it washing over Kael like a tidal wave. The stone beneath its paws melted with every step, while the already cracked arena floor continued to sink beneath the unbearable temperature.

Kael didn’t retreat.

Instead, he stepped forward.

He walked directly into the inferno surrounding the beast.

Heat surged against his body from every direction. It seeped through his already ruined clothes and seemed to sink straight into his flesh before reaching his bones. Every instinct screamed at him to back away.

He ignored it.

None of this pain was real.

The VR simulation perfectly reproduced physical sensations, but his actual body remained safely inside the pod outside.

If there was ever a place to fight without caring about injuries...

It was here.

The Emberfang Tiger let out a deafening roar as it threw itself toward him.

Kael’s eyes narrowed.

The moment the beast entered striking distance, his stance changed.

His feet rooted themselves into the fractured stone as he dropped into a deep crouch, his center of gravity sinking lower until he resembled an immovable mountain anchored firmly to the earth.

His fingers locked together.

Not into a fist.

But into a single rigid point.

The Emberfang Tiger opened its jaws.

Flames spiraled within its throat, forming a vortex of blazing heat capable of swallowing everything before it.

It lunged straight for Kael’s neck.

Kael answered by stepping into the attack.

His lead arm shot forward like a steel spear.

Thud!

His hand pierced through layers of scorching muscle before burying itself deep inside the Emberfang Tiger’s chest.

Right where its heart violently hammered beneath layers of bone and flesh.

The unimaginable heat instantly surged across his arm.

His skin split.

His flesh burned.

The smell of charred meat filled the air.

Yet Kael didn’t withdraw his hand.

Instead...

He twisted.

His feet remained rooted in place while his hips rotated violently, every muscle throughout his body moving as one. The force generated wasn’t borrowed from momentum alone.

It came from perfect coordination.

Every tendon.

Every muscle.

Every joint.

United into a single motion.

At the same time, his other hand clenched into a heavy fist.

Not a swift strike.

Not a sharp strike.

A crushing one.

His entire arm descended like the head of an enormous war mace.

Crunch!

The blow landed squarely against the back of the Emberfang Tiger’s skull.

The sound echoed throughout the arena.

Bone shattered.

The beast’s charging momentum vanished instantly.

Its enormous body stiffened.

The blazing hatred burning within its golden eyes rapidly faded as they rolled upward.

The violent heat aura surrounding it suddenly became unstable.

Without its heart maintaining the flow of mana through its mutated body, the immense fire energy erupted into complete chaos.

The crimson glow covering its fur flickered.

Then...

It disappeared.

The flames died.

The suffocating heat rapidly dispersed as patches of grey ash drifted from the beast’s body like dying embers carried away by the wind.

Its enormous body slumped forward.

Boom!

The weight of the Emberfang Tiger crashed onto Kael, pinning him beneath the corpse inside the smoking crater.

Several moments passed before Kael slowly pushed against the lifeless carcass.

With considerable effort, he shoved the massive beast aside before climbing back to his feet.

His arms trembled slightly.

The skin across both hands had been scorched black in several places.

His knuckles looked raw and torn.

Even lifting his arms felt strangely heavy.

Kael inhaled deeply.

His breathing came in slow, ragged breaths as he quietly looked down at the fallen beast lying motionless within the crater.

The arena gradually fell silent.

Without the Emberfang Tiger continuously releasing its terrifying heat, the temperature rapidly returned to normal.

For the first time since the battle began...

The air no longer felt like it belonged inside a furnace.

Just then, the familiar mechanical voice echoed throughout the empty arena.

[Trial Complete.]

[Evaluating Performance...]

Several streams of blue light descended from above, scanning both Kael and the battlefield.
