Speed Is King

If perfection were to take physical form, in Elliot’s opinion, the twin mountains would be it.

Elliot had never seen a pair before of course, and had no benchmarks to compare them with. But in his humble opinion, they were the perfect size.

They would fit into his palms with just the right amount left spilling out, and judging from how they looked, they would also be silky smooth to the touch.

Despite the seriousness and the gravity of the situation, Elliot simply just couldn’t take his eyes away from Lady Balastiera’s chest!

He gulped very audibly. Below, his little Elliot stiffened and reared its head gloriously up.

Roar! I am awake! I am rarely awake, but now I am! Wow! Wow! Woww!! Come on, buddy, let’s go!!

As soon as his little Elliot came online, it started to give Elliot all sorts of ridiculous advice which caused Elliot to frown very deeply.

Little Elliot, and all little dudes, for that matter, were so dumb, that it would take a very dumb adult to actually listen to its suggestions.

Thankfully Elliot wasn’t such a person.

He raised both his hands, and physically turned his head away from Lady Balastiera’s ample chest, and took several deep breaths to allow the image to fade away._{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

Not disappear, of course. It would be impossible.

For certain, the image before him had seared itself permanently into his brain.

But he would need the image to get the hell away from center stage so that he could function properly once more, and deal with the ancient that was sending so many bone spears at him!

Elliot was sure that if he ever became a remnant soul, Lady Balastiera’s full breasts would feature very prominently in the series of visions that whoever was consuming his soul would see.

It was that impactful for him.

Of course it was.

It was his first time!

Elliot waved his hand and reshaped Lady Balastiera’s dress slightly to cover her glorious twin mountains.

The main issue was, definitely, the fact that the Ancient was able to lock on to his position through the glowing energy around him.

That single fact alone made it impossible for him to bring Lady Balastiera to safety and escape.

So only one option remained for him at that moment.

He needed to bring the fight away from Lady Balastiera, and then put the Ancient to the test to see if she was truly worthy of her title!

Confident that his Ring of Absolute Stealth would keep her safe from danger, Elliot promptly left her there blinked away.

As expected, the Ancient followed him.

“Is blinking away all you can do? I didn’t come all the way here to have a blinking contest! Get the hell out here!” The ancient demanded unreasonably in a shrill voice.

Finally, after blinking away for a whole minute, Elliot stopped and started to go into the offensive.

He didn’t take off his ring to talk to the ancient, of course. As the weaker party, he’d be a fool to give up such a critical advantage. _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

Elliot’s transition from blinking away to attacking with everything he had was so fast and so smoothly done that the Ancient was taken completely by surprise!

Elliot held nothing back, and immediately unleashed his complete and awakened red dragon energy.

GROAR!!

The magnificent red dragon took flight and immediately unleashed his dragon breath attack on the Ancient.

At the same time, Elliot transformed into his strongest Gold Dragon Transformation and entered the opening stance of Stage 1, Movement twenty four – Blasting through the Immovable Mountain!

However, inspiration struck him at that moment, and he got very creative. He selected several runes from his vast mental repository and weaved his Golden Cosmic Dragon Energy according to those patterns prior to unleashing it through his sword thrust.

Combat Rune – Penetrate

Combat Rune – Poison

Combat Rune – Explode

Support Rune – Damage Boost

Support Rune – Damage Boost

Support Rune – Damage Boost

The result was spectacular.

His Cosmic Dragon Energy had immediately exerted its dominance over nature, and summoned all of the available energy towards him!

Every single shred of energy within a radius of several hundred meters had surged with startling alacrity towards Elliot and had immediately assumed the form of countless little dragons!

Their sovereign had called, and they hastened to answer his call.

Some were white, some were green and others were red.

However, most impressive of all was the single golden dragon that was perched atop Gilgamar. Its teeth were bared and the aura it gave out was regal to the utmost.

Overall, it was both a mesmerizing and horrifying sight.

Mesmerizing because of how unique and beautiful the scene was.

Horrifying because if you were able to see it live, it would probably the very last thing you would see.

As soon as Elliot completed his thrust with Gilgamar, all of those little dragons as well as the golden dragon shot forward towards the Ancient!

The awakened red dragon’s fire breath fell upon the ancient from the sky while Elliot’s movement twenty four thrust came at her from the front.

Both attacks thundered towards the Ancient like an unstoppable torrent of destructive tsunami!

It was one of the most powerful attack combo that Elliot could unleash at that moment.

“Hahahahaha! An ant has gained the power of a bear! Impressive! Impressive! But too bad! I am a bear hunter! Behold! Ancient Anomaly – Undead Universe!” The freaky Ancient roared with laughter and released a strange giant sphere that instantly covered Elliot.

The moment he was enveloped by the Ancient Anomaly, Elliot was transported into a dimensional area that was fully under the control of the Ancient!

The thousands of little dragons dispersed instantly, and Elliot’s awakened red dragon was somehow forcibly dispelled.

“Bwa ha ha ha! Within my Ancient Anomaly, I am the Mistress! Nothing moves without my authorization, not even energ- oof!!”

The ancient stared at her chest in confusion as a hole the size of a basketball appeared.
