Chapter 179 Red King
[Combat system activated—]
[Skeleton Monster, Red King]
A grayish-yellow monster enters the field, using cards as its medium and Reiblood as its hub. The violent monster, combined with its warlike master, intensifies Red King's rampage.
Red King's massive, granular muscles are his most powerful weapon. His appearance makes all the monsters around him back down. Life on the island has taught the monsters that becoming Red King's target would be a nightmare.
"He, Red King, is your next opponent. If you can defeat him, then we'll be even."
Grandi looked at the crowd before him without the slightest pity. Whether it was the fallen, wounded hero or the cowardly mage in the distance, they had all lost the right to fight him and were destined to lose.
"Of course, if you surrender, that's a different story. I'll be gentler then."
"Impossible! We will never surrender!"
"Very good, I look forward to your performance, Miss Hero."
In the current atmosphere where they are surrounded and have nowhere to retreat, Zhao Yu's ability to maintain his fighting spirit is something that Grandi greatly appreciates. However, unfortunately, courage does not equate to strength.
After all, if you expect to improve your fighting ability just by shouting a few times, you might as well do more muscle training.
The two loud thuds were the agitation of Red King as it pounded its chest; it didn't like waiting and wanted to fight right now. Its massive tail slapped across the beach, creating a dust storm and making the situation even worse.
"Are you really going to sleep with Red King, sir? It doesn't hold back when it comes to its attacks. Do you really have to be so ruthless when dealing with a young girl who's only been in the industry for a few days?"
After Luo Yi deactivated his transformation and returned to Grandi's side, Xie Tuyu was taken into the Shadow Dimension. Grandi's actions struck Luo Yi as odd; it was the first time he had ever seen his superior use Red King to deal with human forces.
"You've failed before because you're too playful, Luo Yi. There's no need to be soft-hearted when dealing with enemies. The path we're on is one where we can't succeed without pulling out the 'fangs' of all those who are standing in our way."
"Shin is right. She's an idealist who doesn't do anything productive all day. She insists on playing house and bullying ordinary people. In the end, she went too far and got herself 'beaten to tears'."
Red King grew increasingly agitated. It looked at the human buildings on the ground with great displeasure and picked up the rock from the previous battle with Evil Earth and threw it directly at the tower of Sea Cloud.
It is because of these things that the giant ants are constantly attacked. Red King, the monster instructor, has long disliked these things. If he doesn't have an opponent to fight him, he plans to rush into the sea cloud and rampage around right now.
The Giant of Light appeared in a dazzling display, its red radiance infusing it with unwavering courage and strength. The giant's robust physique boosted Zhao Yu's courage, and she must give it her all in the upcoming battle.
Behind Zhao Yu was the sea of clouds, where many innocent people lived, unable to spend the rest of their lives under the rule of the otherworldly monsters.
Red King was thrilled to see that his opponent was a big guy. He never thought that after fighting so many soft monsters for so many years, he would finally be able to fight a powerful opponent. Even if he was a bit aggressive, this powerful opponent could hold his own!
The shout of "Ura!" is Red King's standard battle cry. His massive muscles provide him with exceptional mobility, and his humanoid limbs allow him to employ a wider range of combat techniques.
He leaped up and kicked back with his leg, using the momentum to propel his forward movement. His giant fist swung forward with earth-shattering power. Red King's Superman Punch forced Zhao Yu, who was attempting to block, to retreat repeatedly. He then adopted a guard stance to launch a follow-up attack.
All the swinging punches landed on Zhao Yu's body. The Titan, who only defended, was nothing more than a punching bag in Red King's eyes. The exposed flaws were simply pushed away by the opponent. Red King thought that the opponent was a useless fool who could not fight at all.
"A-Jiu, A-Jiu, are you alright? Can you contact Yaohui Zeta?"
Yixuan's repeated calls brought Ajiu, who was in a daze, back to her senses. However, after hearing the other party's question, Ajiu's mood did not improve much. If she could contact Yaohui, Zhaoyu would not have to suffer like this.
"It's alright, Ajiu, don't blame yourself. I'll figure something out, okay? Don't cry anymore. Let the adults handle the situation. You just need to focus on taking care of Sean."
Yixuan kept trying to comfort Ajiu, who was crying with her head down, even though the sounds of battle in the distance far exceeded her voice.
The wounded beside them and the mage behind them were already overwhelmed by reality, and if they didn't say something soon, they would really be drowned and suffocated.
"I know the strength of those otherworldly monsters. I started researching them when I wrote my first book. They have exceptionally powerful strength, but they are not invincible. I have analyzed hundreds of cases of otherworldly monsters being defeated."
Unlike everyone else present, who were filled with fear and sorrow as they fought the colossal creature in the distance, Yixuan showed no fear and was filled with hope.
Yixuan knows his enemies, and he knows himself even better. Although he is not very capable, it does not stop him from having lofty ambitions.
Zhao Yu's barrier was shattered by a single punch. After breaking through the blockade, Red King continued to press forward. Zhao Yu was forced against the mountainside, with no way to retreat and feeling utterly exhausted.
Fighting alone in a gloomy world, with nothing but hordes of monsters and ruins in sight, Zhao Yu felt an invisible pressure from all sides constantly piercing her nerves. She didn't know what to do... she didn't know who she could rely on now.
She knew she was just lucky and not a qualified warrior, but she didn't want to leave it to fate.
With a swift and powerful strike, the arm hammer shattered Zhao Yu's defenses, and Red King sent the red giant flying into a distant mountainside, causing Zhao Yu to fall into the waves.
The icy seawater slapped against Zhao Yu's face, which was contorted with shock. In her gradually blurring vision, an extremely terrifying figure was releasing a chilling pressure. The sound of Red King's footsteps reached Zhao Yu's ears, louder than the roar of the waves.
Is this how it's going to end...? I never imagined the Legend of the Heroes would end like this...
"Hey, Zhaoyu, can you hear me? This is Yixuan! Zhaoyu!"
"What? How is this possible... Yixuan, how did you do this?"
Zhao Yu's telepathy activated again; it was a call from the Light Magic Stone—a companion had come to help her.
"I used Sean's Light Magic Stone; it was an emergency, so I had no choice. I'll explain to him later. Listen carefully, Zhaoyu, I'll be in charge of the battle from now on."
