The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 138

Title: Fierce Battle with the Floor Boss Goliath

*BOOM*

The ground shattered, smoke and dust flew everywhere, a strong wind roared, and gravel scattered like bullets. In just one palm strike, a large palm-sized hole, a foot deep, was created in the rocky ground.

If Hoshiharu had taken such a blow head-on, he might have died not far from there, if not instantly.

Sword Step!

As the giant palm attacked, Hoshiharu activated the Noble Art Absolute Speed, adjusting his evasive speed to be faster than his opponent’s swinging palm.

Before the large black palm could fall, Hoshiharu had already moved away from the spot like lightning.

Landing harshly on the ground, Hoshiharu rolled twice before he could release the sudden increase in momentum from his body.

But it was fine.

“My legs are okay!”

His physical strength had become two or three times stronger than before. Particularly, his leg strength had increased significantly due to his agility surpassing the upper limit, which met the minimum leg strength required to execute Sword Step.

With this, he could fight!

Hoshiharu raised his head resolutely and stared at the giant.

Its brownish-gray skin was as rough as stone. Although its legs were very short and its muscular upper body made up about 60% of its height, its body was still as hard as steel, and hair hung from its perpetually hunched back.

The giant was naked, about seven meters tall, and its roar was as pitiful as a cry. The sound waves swept towards him, emitting a terrifying sense of oppression in this vast stone chamber.

“Goliath? How could this happen by chance!”

The two-meter-tall corridor was quite safe, and the giant couldn’t enter at all. Line hid here, staring at the massive Floor Boss in disbelief.

Goliath was born on the 17th Floor, and it was also the official name of the Monster Rex. Its strength was undoubtedly Level 4, and it couldn’t be defeated by Second or Third-Class Adventurers!

“Run!”

Lefiya was so stunned she lost her voice. Until the strong wind mixed with dust hit her face, she woke up and started shouting loudly.

In both their eyes, Hoshiharu had barely escaped Goliath’s grasp with his life, and the two girls almost felt their hearts pounding.

But after a moment, they realized that the young man at the scene not only had no intention of fleeing but was also standing and facing the terrifying giant head-on.

What was he trying to do?

Was he planning to fight the Floor Boss?

Could he be insane?

“Roar!”

The brownish-gray giant roared, then bent down and slammed its foot into the ground.

As the ground cracked again, Goliath also created a gust of wind with a cruel expression on its face and charged towards Hoshiharu.

So fast!

It was as fast and powerful as a high-speed train, and facing that momentum was terrifying.

But it wasn’t as good as Tiona.

“Sword Step!”

At the same time the giant moved, Hoshiharu also placed the sword in his hand by his side and then launched Sword Step again.

*WHOOSH*

At this moment, a small black shadow shot out at a speed no less than that of the giant.

With his light body, he instantly avoided the giant’s palm again and directly attacked with his long sword, slashing at its side ankle lengthwise.

In an instant, sparks flew like an electric welder.

The confrontation lasted only a moment, and the two passed by each other.

“So hard!”

Hoshiharu’s face turned pale.

Upon closer inspection, his arm was trembling, and the hand holding the sword was nearly paralyzed.

Right in front of him, a deep slash appeared on the side of Goliath’s right foot, causing a lot of blood to spill. This slash not only cut through the skin but also damaged the blood vessels underneath.

With Hoshiharu’s current strength, even cutting Minotaur muscle felt like slicing rubber. Breaking through Goliath’s cortical defense was impossible, but Absolute Speed greatly increased his speed, resulting in kinetic energy that shouldn’t be underestimated.

“ROARRR!!!”

Goliath roared in anger, its red eyes as large as a human head, and its face was filled with sorrowful rage.

It could feel that this small insect’s strength was no more than this, yet it escaped again and again, even injuring it repeatedly, causing its little reasoning to boil over completely.

*BAAM*

Goliath stomped the ground again, and its body shot out like an arrow from a bowstring. It extended its hands in a grasp, trying to capture Hoshiharu with both hands.

It had no long-range skills, Hoshiharu confirmed this.

“And it barely has any combat ability!”

He then judged Goliath’s action pattern.

This monster only relied on its strong Ability Value to do whatever it wanted. Compared to regular monsters, it was almost the same.

It could be defeated!

“Huh!”

Launching Sword Step again, Hoshiharu didn’t run towards the gap between Goliath’s palms but ran to its side.

This was a very unwise choice.

The stone chamber was only about twenty meters wide. With Goliath’s massive body, even if Hoshiharu ran towards the stone wall, as long as he turned and ran two or three steps, he would be immediately followed.

Indeed, that was the case.

Hoshiharu escaped from Goliath’s hands in an instant but immediately hit the stone wall. His back struck the stone wall hard, making his chest feel tight.

Fortunately, his endurance had increased significantly, and he was still wearing armor; otherwise, he would have been injured this time.

But then, Goliath also turned and faced the stone wall. With a sharp look in its eyes, it immediately clenched its fist and punched!

A strong wind blew close to his face, making Hoshiharu barely able to open his eyes.

But he didn’t need to open his eyes. Guided by his intuition, he quickly rushed to the other side of the stone chamber. The absolute evasion speed of Sword Step made it impossible for Goliath to catch up.

*WHOOSH*

As soon as he jumped out, Hoshiharu kicked the ground hard, using his legs as brakes to force himself to stop. Then he immediately turned around and placed the sword by his side.

*WHOOSH*

Immediately after, his figure shot out like lightning again.

*CLANG*

This time, Hoshiharu used only about 40% of the remaining magic power in his body in one breath, and propelled his entire body at a speed approaching the extreme speed of lightning.

The sound of metal clashing was heard only briefly.

Soon after, the sound of a body being torn was heard.

“ROARRR!!!”

Goliath roared, its voice turning into a scream.

The heels of both its legs were slashed, and its legs could no longer support its massive body. That stone-like body fell uncontrollably, with its arms barely able to kneel on the ground.

On the other side.

Hoshiharu bounced off the ground several times with a heart-stopping momentum until he crashed into the wall at the entrance of the stone chamber and barely managed to stop.

“Cough... Haah Haah...”

Hoshiharu continued to gasp for breath, his eyes immediately checking Goliath’s condition, and when he saw that Goliath had indeed fallen, he unconsciously sighed in relief.

Then he checked himself.

Luckily, only his wrist and right foot were broken.

Hoshiharu was immensely relieved that he didn’t feel any damage to his internal organs or tears in his muscles.
