Chương 59: A Freaking Tiny Human

Ch 59 - A Freaking Tiny Human The Bullkin who had been relaxing only moments ago, sitting around or finishing their meals, were now on their feet with tense expressions. Some dropped their bowls, and a few still had food stuffed in their mouths, too stunned to even finish chewing. What they were witnessing was a battle none of them had ever imagined would actually happen. The powerful swing of Gorut's axe slammed into the ground.

A heartbeat later, the earth seemed to split apart as massive chunks of land were ripped into the air at incredible speed, while Snuk's figure was suddenly launched high above them. The shockwave rolled across the ground, dragging dirt, rocks, and everything around it in every direction before crashing into the frozen Bullkin who stood there in complete disbelief. Dust and debris slammed into their faces without mercy.

In only a moment, several Bullkin were completely buried beneath the flying dirt caused by the devastating impact.

"What kind of battle is this? Who was that that actually challenged the Chief?" one of them muttered in confusion.

"That's Snuk."

"Snuk? Who's Snuk? I've never heard of him." Some of them truly did not know him, while others only vaguely remembered the Bullkin who had spent most of his life unnoticed. An instant later, the two Bullkin collided again. Their massive axes crashed together with overwhelming force, releasing an explosion of energy that lifted everything around them before blasting across the battlefield at terrifying speed. Several Bullkin were thrown backward.

They had been so shocked by what they were watching that they never realized the shockwave had already slammed them into the surrounding rocks. The Bullkin encampment was no longer recognizable. All that remained was destruction caused by a battle between two Bullkin, a battle none of them had ever believed they would witness with their own eyes.

"Where did Snuk get that kind of power...? This isn't normal. It doesn't make any sense. If this fight keeps going... I can't even imagine how it's going to end."

"I still can't believe what I'm seeing... but the Chief will win. This is nothing for him. He doesn't even look like he's trying yet."

"Even so... Snuk has already pushed the Chief this far. I've never seen anyone force the Chief into a fight like this before."

"Every clash between them is tearing this entire place apart."

"If this keeps going... it won't matter who wins. There won't be anything left of this encampment." On the other side, Jester was doing everything he could to keep this fight to his advantage. He tried his best to build momentum while dodging every attack thrown at him. But the longer the battle continued, the stronger and faster Goruk became. This was getting bad. Jester shot to one side, using Flash Step to appear high in the air.

Without wasting a second, he dived straight down, bringing his axe crashing toward Goruk. But Goruk avoided the strike with incredible speed.

"Not bad, Snuk!" Goruk laughed.

"You actually managed to entertain me. But don't mistake that for hope. You were born beneath me, and you'll die beneath me. This ends now!" A violent burst of energy exploded around him as Goruk's body glowed with an even deeper crimson light. Then he moved. Fast. Far too fast. His axe sliced through the air several times faster than before. Jester instantly leaped backward, narrowly avoiding three lightning-fast swings. But his footing slipped for just a fraction of a second.

One wrong movement, and he would fall completely off balance. Goruk pulled his axe back. A wave of energy surged from the blade before he charged forward again, raising the massive weapon high above his head for a devastating overhead strike aimed directly at Jester. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. The axe seemed to grow several times larger, wrapped in overwhelming energy that crushed everything before it. Even moving became difficult under the pressure it released.

"It's over, Snuk!" Goruk bellowed. Every Bullkin watching widened their eyes, holding their breath as they prepared to witness the end of the battle. It was over. There was no escaping an attack of that size. Snuk was finished. But just as the massive axe was about to crush Jester... Something suddenly happened. [75 Chaos consumed.] [Curtain Call: Chaos Version activated.] [25 Chaos consumed.] [Pocket Form: Chaos Version activated.] The cost was unbelievably high just to avoid a single attack.

But Jester had no other choice. He couldn't keep relying on Flash Step forever. Every use drained more of his stamina, and if he continued fighting that way, he would collapse long before Goruk did. At the very last moment, the massive Bullkin vanished from where he had been standing. The enormous axe slammed into the ground instead, detonating the entire area in a violent explosion. The impact was so overwhelming that the battlefield disappeared beneath a storm of shattered earth.

Massive waves of dirt and broken stone surged high into the sky before spreading across the battlefield in every direction. Amid the overwhelming chaos, Jester burst forward in a streak of energy that cut through the cloud of dust and debris. At the same time, his axe lit up with a brilliant blue glow. [Thousand Crown Blades (Ultimate) activated.] [For 10 seconds, the user's weapon becomes surrounded by condensed energy. Every swing releases dozens of razor-sharp energy arcs that relentlessly pursue nearby enemies.] [Each attack creates additional energy slashes, turning a single strike into a devastating barrage capable of overwhelming multiple opponents. During the skill's duration, Movement Speed, Attack Speed, and Weapon Aura Power are significantly increased.] In that brief instant, Jester swung his axe at blinding speed.

Dozens of blue energy slashes erupted from every swing, multiplying into an endless barrage as they tore through the battlefield and raced toward Goruk, who was still recovering from his devastating attack. But the massive Bullkin was not so easily overwhelmed. The moment the barrage closed in, Goruk exploded into motion. He spun with incredible speed, swinging his massive axe in every direction just as the countless energy slashes reached him.

Clang after clang echoed across the battlefield as he deflected every incoming strike. The blue energy slashes scattered in every direction, crashing into the ground and exploding one after another, turning the battlefield into a storm of fire, dust, and shattered earth. But Jester had already disappeared. He reappeared behind Goruk before the Bullkin could fully recover from his defense. Without giving him a moment to react, Jester unleashed another relentless series of swings.

His glowing axe carved through the air at terrifying speed, each strike releasing even more energy slashes that crashed into Goruk one after another. The continuous barrage finally broke through. A powerful impact slammed into Goruk's massive body, launching him violently across the battlefield. His enormous frame crashed into the ground, bounced several times, and tumbled uncontrollably before finally coming to a stop, leaving a long trail of destruction behind him. Jester slammed into the ground again.

His massive body already felt unbelievably heavy, and every movement pushed his stamina closer to its limit. But the moment his feet touched the ground, the earth exploded beneath him as a burst of energy erupted outward. His body shot forward at incredible speed. He raised his axe overhead as he charged straight toward Goruk, who was still recovering in front of him.

The surrounding Bullkin were still stunned, trying to recover from the destruction caused by the previous exchange, when Jester's axe came crashing down toward Goruk. But just before the blade reached his head, Goruk suddenly raised both of his hands. The axe came to an abrupt stop. The overwhelming momentum still forced Goruk crashing down onto one knee, sending another shockwave through the ground beneath him. Yet the axe remained firmly trapped between Goruk's bare hands.

Goruk stayed kneeling, his body trembling as he struggled to stand. The fight was already over. Every Bullkin knew who had won this Rite of Challenge. Everyone watching the scene still couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. Their Tribe Chief had truly been defeated by a nobody, someone they had never even considered worthy of their attention. Yet this battle had proven one undeniable truth. It had reached a level far beyond anything they had ever imagined.

They remained frozen in place, staring silently at the unbelievable sight before them. Goruk was already kneeling, completely exhausted. He had surrendered. It was also clear that Snuk had chosen not to finish him, giving him the chance to admit defeat instead. With trembling hands, Goruk slowly lowered both arms. Then he dropped fully onto his knees before Snuk.

"I have lost," Goruk said, lowering his head.

"Your strength has surpassed mine, and I acknowledge you as the stronger warrior. From this moment on, I recognize your right to lead this tribe, and I will follow your command. If you believe my resistance deserves death, then I will accept that judgment without complaint. To fall before a Bullkin warrior stronger than myself is a fate I will embrace." One by one, the other Bullkin slowly dropped to one knee, lowering their heads before their new leader.

But at that very moment, something even more shocking happened. The Bullkin who had defeated their Tribe Chief suddenly vanished, causing every Bullkin present to widen their eyes in disbelief. Because standing before the kneeling Goruk was... A freaking tiny human?!
