Unlimited Power 03: The Sinful Ruler

The shadow titan waited until the last moment before swinging his sword, he wanted to see the look of despair on his targets' faces. However, instead of that, he saw them clenching their teeth and readying themselves to take the hit… that would be funny if it weren't so insulting to him.

In the end, the shadow giant attacked with all his might, a full overhead swing that had the intention of smashing all of the humans still there. All of the foolish humans that thought of challenging him until now.

When he swung his sword, the shadow titan caused a blast of wind that made all of the snow in dozens of kilometers fly away. However, he didn't feel the ground trembling or cracking around. The humans did what they had planned… Julian used his Reflect to decrease a bit of the power of the swing. Arilene summoned her ghost guards to do the same. Lana buffed her magic to help, and even Karina struck back with all her might.

Louise and the others made numerous earth pillars emerge from the ground to stop the attack. All of them cracked, but their combined effort worked to stop the shadow titan's attack… some of the humans were still blasted away, but all of them survived the attack… when he saw that, rage filled the shadow titan's head.

"How dare you resist my power… how dare you to raise your weapons against me?" The shadow titan shouted while asking.

The enemy raised his sword again, and his target's readied themselves yet again. They didn't expect that they would have to do that so soon, but it wasn't like they had any other option. In the end, they repeated the same actions, but a few of them were blown away into pieces, unable to use any of their powers anymore…

While clenching his teeth, the shadow titan readied to attack again, but all of a sudden, something hit his neck and pushed him backward. The shadow titan took several steps backward while he tried to check his neck… he confirmed that w wound was there, but Jake was back on the ground already. All of his gear, aside from his sword, broke during the previous attack, so Jake was covered in blood and only wearing some gray pants. His whole body was purple due to the broken bones and damaged muscles, but he didn't give up, and his sword emitted that light blue glow again.

"You truly are an eyesore," the Shadow titan said. "I will get rid of you first…"

"Come and try, shithead," Jake said.

The shadow titan readied his sword, and Jake did the same. The chances of him dodging the attack were insanely small, and there was no point in doing that when his allies were nearby. They bought him enough time to recover and stock some mana in his sword, so it was time to repay the favor.

When he felt the enemy moving his weapon, Jake charged. The difference in sides was too big. Trying to block the attacks was a waste of time, so he aimed at the enemy's left leg when he passed nearby the sword before it could gain speed. Still, the enemy sensed his intentions in the end and made a shadow spike emerge from his knee to impale him. It stopped his charge, but the enemy at least trembled a little.

"I still can do something with my strength…" Jake thought and then jumped away when he sensed the next attack.

The swing of the sword was weird since Jake was too close, but the weapon still passed nearby. The shockwave made him spin in the air before he could land. The shadow titan used that chance to kick him, but Jake still trusted his sword toward it… he was sent flying dozens of kilometers upward, but at least he pierced the enemy's feet as well.

The power of the kick had been so high that Jake left the planet and saw himself unable to use only his leg strength to kick the air to return. In the end, Jake managed to stop and slowly return by putting his feet close to each other and then using Explosive Touch, but he couldn't return without a proper plan… his limbs had been smashed due to the kick, and even if he could keep using the Mana on his sword, he needed another way to create an opening…

"This place is cold like hell, and I don't know if I am resistant to space radiation, so I have to hurry up…" Jake thought, and then he used Explosive Touch on his feet again.

Jake began to fall, and even from that distance, he could see the others struggling against the shadow titan… he was lacking determination if he still had to let them participate in that battle…

"It is time to focus solely on attacking…" Jake thought.

Jake entered that planet's atmosphere, and then his speed increased as he approached the enemy. The shadow titan noticed his approach as well. So, he moved away from the others and assumed his stance to split Jake in half once and for all.

Jake didn't do anything until the enemy swung his sword upward, using all of his power and speed… Jake only saw some lightning bolts appearing around the afterimage of the weapon… However, his instincts helped him react on time, and then he swung his sword unleashing all of his mana.

The impact caused by the collision of attacks made the whole world tremble, and the shockwave pushed everyone away… those who had some power only flew away for a couple of kilometers, while the others were sent flying dozens of kilometers away from their original position… Louise and the others looked to where the shadow titan was supposed to be and only found a massive sphere of light there and some massive boulders falling around… that area covered by snow became a massive hole and Jake was nowhere to be seen…
