Galaxy's First Ruler

Chapter 70: Oldest Change



Chapter 70: Oldest Change

The world seemed to quake from the impact between the two parties.

Countless rocks rained down as the vast cloud of fuming ash settled, leaving behind a crater of 100 ft in size. As the gurgling lava came pouring down in the fresh hole, one could see the shimmers of white feathers dropping from the sky on to it. No sizzling noise came out as the lava engulfed the feathers within it, leaving no trace behind.

BANG!!!

A fist came blasting out from the center of the crater. The blackened hand grabbed the earth and pulled out its body with a jerk. Aldrich dragged his body out of the ground after getting buried by the Boss's attack. At the edge of the crater, above his eye level, he could sense the Red Bellerophon lying flat with its face down. The outcome of the impact was quite clear from the lack of presence of the two beasts.

Aldrich had already unsummoned the heavily injured Liath Macha. The kingly beast had done its work effectively and had brought down the Pegasus but at a heavy price. Aldrich still felt the vibrations as the heads of the beasts had rammed into each other. But this wasn't the time to waste. Aldrich used his enhanced strength and jumped towards the Boss.

SWISH!!!

A Bone Spear came flying at him as he crouched, making him duck out of its way. Aldrich saw the Blue armored beauty swooping down towards the other Boss and placed it on Pegasus's back. The remaining beast seemed unaffected by the loss of its brethren.

As the Pegasus reached the heights of the sky, Aldrich saw the Red Boss waking up from the concussion. Even with the burned marks and ash on her body, the dust couldn't diminish its beauty. Aldrich saw its perky chest rising and falling, accompanied by heavy breaths of rage. The reality of losing her mount seemed to have hit her hard.

Aldrich saw the two Bosses looking at each other and couldn't help but feel apprehensive about the gleam in their eyes. He dashed towards Boomie and found him already running towards him. But it was already too late to gather up.

Grrrrrr!!!

The three volcanoes around the rocky plain shook as a massive landslide occurred on their slopes. The baffling scene wasn't the landslide, but the massive boulders rising in the air, defying the gravity. Aldrich and Boomie looked up and found the entire Sky had got covered up by thousands of boulders ranging from 50 to 100 ft in diameter. The Pegasus fluttered above the sheet of boulders and the two Bosses smiled as they pressed their hands down towards the Dreamers.

BOULDER RAIN!!!

There was neither a place to hide nor a way to outrun this Skill. Even if they were to run constantly, Aldrich knew it was impossible to not get wet in this downpour. He found only one way to survive this crisis and assigned all 12 unassigned Attribute Points from his last level up to his Defense. The result was as expected.

"Change."

Defense: 139 (+90)

There was still quite a distance between Aldrich and Boomie when the Sky couldn't seem to hold on to the Boulders any longer and let them go. Contrary to the normal rain, the 'Raindrops' seemed to be concentrated upon Aldrich and Boomie.

Tink! Tinkk!! Tinkkk!!!

This was the sound of a child throwing marbles at a metallic wall and it got exactly replicated by the scene within the Dungeon. The only difference being the marbles were the enormous boulders, and the metallic wall was Aldrich's compact frame. Whatever touched him either got blasted away or cracked on the spot.

The juicy lips of the beauties riding the beast had become agape, seeing the incredible scene. Even Boomie forgot to dodge a few boulders while lost in the unbelievable picture portrayed by Aldrich. Aldrich ran towards Boomie, whose face looked quite pale by the frequent use of the Sash around his shoulders.

Aldrich stood beside Boomie and whichever boulder Boomie couldn't dodge got bounced off Aldrich's body. By the time this downpour halted, Boomie had already lighted up a cigarette and was leisurely letting out small puffs of smoke. But Aldrich knew things were far from over. He had felt two bursts of Mana when the Bosses had pressed down their hands. It could only mean that they have used two Skills successively.

He narrowed his eyes as the fallen boulders rolled by themselves and seemed to gather up at the same location.

"What the fuck these bitches up to now?"

Aldrich thought that the two Bellerophon must have heard Boomie's question. As he saw them furiously plucking out the feathers of the flying beast. But the light derisive laughter on their faces gave him a warning that something even bigger and mightier was about to happen.

The gathered boulders rolled upon each other and stuck together without falling. As hundreds of rocks took shape of a massive Golem, Aldrich got to know what Skill they had used.

DIVINE CALL!

Roarrrrrr!!!

The humongous stone Golem roared towards heaven and then looked at the two puny ants under it. Aldrich eyed the mile-tall Golem and a brilliant flash of emerald beam came out of his eyes.

Flaw Detection!

Aldrich's eyes stopped at a place near Golem's abdomen.

"Change. Target Lock"

[

Agility: 169 (+90 +39)

]

For the first time, Aldrich sensed the word horror written on the faces of the aroused Bosses and took a mental note of it. He crouched down and aimed at the marked spot on the Golem. No booming sound, no blinding flash, and no poetic picture could be heard, seen, and felt.

Only Aldrich's mind knew that he had used the Oldest Change again and enhanced his Defence just before smashing the target.

By the time Aldrich's blurry image could have vanished, he had already returned to his position. And all could only see a tiny hole, pierced through and through in the Golem's abdomen.

[Critical Hit]

Crackkkkk!!!

No visible crack could be seen, but the sound of countless cracks originated out of the Golem like thunder in a stormy sky. Boomie's cigarette fell out of his mouth as the colossal Golem turned to dust, losing its existence within the ashy Dungeon.
