Chapter 199: Fighting Giants Alone!
"We will kill them all," Jim decided before adding, "just keep close and listen well to my words… Deno and Gordan will be leading the group of Bulltors and try to defend any incoming attacks. Use the game gears, they can be used anywhere."
"But there are a hundred of them!" Lan couldn't still absorb this shocking decision of Jim, "how the hell can we stop them?"
"We stopped similar teams of thieves before," Jim said, "and this time it won't be different."
"But… that time we faced weak bandits, not a team led by a core disciple!"
"Just be ready, I won't let any harm come to any of you… this I can promise," Jim said and with his words he put an end to the ongoing debate and everyone had to accept his decision.
As they kept running, they noticed a long pole in the distance. The poles extended in each direction, marking the safe zone.
"See these poles stupid human? They mark the places where you'll fall!"
Jim didn't give his words any care as he kept pushing his team fast towards the poles.
"I'm ready," Lan said, "should we start now?"
"No," Jim firmly shook his head, "keep running until I order you to stop."
Jim was feeling odd about the arrangement of Mench. It seemed the core campus had a plan they were following.
But what puzzled him was the fact that they couldn't break the rules. Only grade two disciples could attack him, and from the light shining everywhere he noticed all the orbs glared with the same color.
That meant there was no way for the teams to know which group had any grade. "What do you plan, bastards?" Jim clenched his fist over his sword before revising what he had planned in his mind.
"Keep pushing forward," as the team passed the poles, he shouted and drove them forward.
"Hahaha, it's your death place fool. Grab them and kill whatever you wish!"
Mench's voice came and Jim could feel the group hunting him getting faster. "Don't look back," he shouted, "just keep running."
Despite that he didn't accelerate like others, but decreased his speed a little until he became the last one in the group.
"What are you doing?" Ashley shouted but Jim didn't answer in words. He simply raised his finger high in the air and kept it there.
"Start strengthening your gears and weapons," he said and others noticed what he was doing and started to mimic him.
'This won't be enough,' the old man warned, 'you'll need more strength to do that!'
The old man could already read his mind and could tell the weak points in his plan.
"Surprise is the greatest weapon of all times," Jim simply said while keeping his finger high in the air, "they won't see this coming."
The team just turned at him and thought he was losing his cool. He smiled as he said to reassure them, "just keep strengthening your gears and don't stop until I give the order."
They returned to mind their own spells while he started to feel so hot about his finger.
"Kill everyone else, but leave that boy to me," Mench's voice was getting near with each shout of his.
"Thinking so mighty of yourself," Jim sneered while knowing Mench's trick here. He was trying to demotivate everyone but Jim had another plan in mind.
Just as he felt many coming near him, he descended his finger and started strengthening his gear.
And the gear he decided to strengthen first was nothing else but his wings!
"Kill everyone," Mench's voice roared from his back, and Jim could tell he wasn't a hundred meters off him.
And at this moment he threw the wings on his back, turned around and jumped over the incoming disciples.
"Watch out!" Mench's scream came but it was too late for him to do that.
Jim's sword was unsheathed and the next moment his body shone brightly with golden light. The nearest disciples to him were less than a dozen, and they were all giants.
But before anyone could react, Jim used his strengthened wings and boosted his speed all of sudden.
"Die!" he landed his sword over the necks of those giants, causing deep wounds there and the blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Stop him!" Mench shouted and some giants started to flash to intercept Jim.
"Lan, the ore!" he suddenly shouted and Lan who was running near him moved with one hand holding the orb.
And Jim moved at once to evade the deadly hammers before letting Lan touch his body.
"I hope you know what you are doing," Lan muttered.
"Keep running," Jim shouted before the next moment he let his sword fall on the ground while he held it in the position to activate his spell.
"Hit him now!" Mench shouted and the next moment dozens of attacks came from different directions aiming to hit Jim.
"Earth prison… humph, even Pol failed to imprison me with it!" Jim only sneered and the next moment he moved fast while keeping his sword in the position.
His speed was now on a whole new level. The attacks hit the place he stood at but only a cloud of dirt was left behind.
And Jim appeared just beside a group of giants while his sword was ready to let go.
"You all will die here," he promised before letting his sword fall on the ground. The sword once hit the ground and created a big ball of lightning around him.
And then Jim was ready to attack.
"Use all your strong spells!" Mench shouted as seeing this spell made him recall bad memories from the previous encounter with Jim.
And the next moment more attacks howled towards Jim plus over twenty giants appeared the next second using their instant teleportation ability.
"You just came in time," Jim didn't defend, didn't attack, but only retreated. He used his speed to take a big circle around the group while letting all the attacks land over nothing but empty ground.
"Die!"
