The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 139

Title: Say Something Heartfelt

The endurance stat represents defense and vitality. Although Hoshiharu isn’t particularly strong in this aspect, he had reached over 600 points, which is roughly the level when adventurers level up.

Additionally, he wore armor purchased by Tiona for hundreds of thousands of valis. The combination of these factors reduced the strain on his body caused by pushing his speed to its limits.

There might have been many flesh and skin wounds, but none were life-threatening, and he hadn’t even lost consciousness.

However, his right leg and both wrists were broken due to the force he had to exert.

His new sword, which he had purchased that morning for tens of thousands of valis, had been completely destroyed by the previous attack, with only fragments remaining on the ground.

There was no time to mourn the loss of the new weapon. As Goliath roared in pain, Hoshiharu quickly bowed his head, opened the foot pouch on his left leg with his teeth, and took out all the remaining Advanced Recovery Potions.

Broken bones are a serious injury, and even with the effects of the Advanced Recovery Potion, it would take several doses to heal.

Without hesitation, Hoshiharu poured all three Advanced Recovery Potions onto his right wrist.

His eyes burned with fighting spirit.

There was only one attack left to defeat Goliath, so he couldn’t give up halfway!

All it took was one strike!

The Mental Power Recovery Potion he had swallowed ten seconds ago also began to take effect, quickly restoring most of the magic power consumed in his body.

“ROARRRR--!!!”

Goliath sat up from the ground.

It glared at Hoshiharu, who was about to stand at the entrance of the stone room, as if a fiery rage burned in its eyes.

*CLANG*

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The giant suddenly raised its fist high, then repeatedly punched the wall in front of it, causing tremors like an earthquake to sweep across a small portion of the 17th Floor.

With a series of seemingly incompetent and violent blows, countless stones of various sizes fell from the stone wall.

“Could it be...?”

Hoshiharu’s expression froze.

*SWOOSH*

Goliath immediately grabbed a stone the size of a human head and hurled it toward Hoshiharu.

“There’s something like that!”

Hoshiharu quickly jumped out with his intact left leg, narrowly dodging the stone.

He could only move one leg now, and it was difficult to continuously use the Sword Step. If Goliath kept throwing stones with both hands, he wouldn’t be able to dodge so many of them.

Should he try to leave the stone room first?

Use the Elixir to heal the broken bones, then make the final strike?

With Goliath’s large body, there was no way to exit through the door of the stone room. It could only move within the two-hundred-meter distance inside the stone room.

But Goliath’s body was incredibly tough. If Hoshiharu wanted to deliver a fatal blow, he had to use all his strength to perform Absolute Speed. The blade alone, even if shot through the eye, could not penetrate the brain, which was what he had planned to use afterward.

“—Unleashed streak of light, bow limbs of the holy tree. You are an expert of the bow! Shoot, sniper of the fairies!”

At that moment, orange-gold magic surged.

A rhythmic chant came from the other side of the stone room.

Goliath’s stone-throwing movements suddenly halted, instinctively sensing great danger, and without hesitation, it abandoned Hoshiharu and turned to face the two girls on the other side.

Lefiya stood in the corridor, surrounded by a circle of orange-gold magic composed of countless geometric patterns and magic words. A vast amount of magic power surged from her body, turning into a blazing light.

“ROAR!”

Sensing the danger from this magic, Goliath immediately grabbed nearby stones and hurled them toward Lefiya.

“—Penetrate, arrow of absolute accuracy!”

Lefiya turned without hesitation and pressed against the corridor wall. She used the parallel chanting skill she had practiced under Hoshiharu’s supervision for over ten days, causing the stones to be deflected.

At the same time, the spellcasting also concluded.

“Arc Rays—!!”

Following Lefiya’s shout.

A burning lotus arrow fell from the sky and turned into an unparalleled flame. Countless burning arrows trapped Goliath in a field of fire, and screams continued to erupt.

What incredible firepower!

Seeing even Goliath being completely suppressed, Hoshiharu couldn’t help but praise her in his heart.

“Now!”

A shout from Lefiya was heard from the other side of the fire.

Now?

Judging by the range of the shot, the path was almost completely blocked, leaving no room to advance. Based on the situation, Lefiya’s intention was to have him escape now and then find a way to break through.

Although Lefiya didn’t know how Hoshiharu performed such super-fast movements, as long as he healed his injuries first, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to break through Goliath’s blockade.

Hoshiharu had the same thought earlier.

However, after seeing Goliath exposing its defenseless back to attack Lefiya, his mind quietly changed.

*VROOM*

Along with the appearance of a magical light point in the air, a sword shimmering like silver ripples of light was held in his right hand.

Monsters have a weakness called the “Magic Stone.”

It’s the dungeon’s way of creating monsters and giving them something as an energy source. Generally, the magic stone is buried in the monster’s chest, close to the heart.

“Say something heartfelt!”

Hoshiharu kicked off the ground with his left leg.

At that moment, he poured all the recovered magic power in his body into the sword.

At that moment, the Nameless Sword equipped with spirit reached a speed far beyond the speed of sound.

“Lightning Flint!”

It was like an aurora ray piercing through space and time.

Do not fear and advance bravely!

At the moment when the flaming arrow attack ended, a black shadow broke through the sound barrier at a dizzying speed. Under a series of smoke rings, the shadow pierced through the barrier in an instant.

*BOOM*

Only after the attack was completed did the sound of the explosion spread throughout the stone room. A fierce wave of air roared like a sea wave, causing Lefiya and Line, who were more than a hundred meters away, to be thrown backward, almost falling off the slope.

On the field.

Goliath’s body froze in place, and the heart on its back had been pierced.

Then, with a rumbling sound, Goliath’s body instantly disintegrated into thick black smoke, slowly fading away.

*BAAM*

A magic stone larger than a head appeared in the air and shattered into pieces before falling.

At the same time, Hoshiharu’s figure also fell from the air and landed on the ground with a thud.

“...Hoshiharu-san?!”

After the sudden silence, Lefiya let out a heart-wrenching scream.

“...You’re always crying.... Why don’t you come here and heal me...”

A weak voice from Hoshiharu came from where he had fallen.
