Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 693 Earth

'Is he dead...?' Silvana asked uncertainly, looking at the thick flowing blood from above.

In response, Adam narrowed his eyes as two amber flashes appeared behind the dust veil.

"I doubt it. He's surely wounded, but even very solid rocks aren't enough to kill him. He's too big and strong to fall from external damage."

"ROOOOOOAAAARRR!!!!"

A furious roar answered Silvana's question as a large shadow jumped out of the dust cloud. No more roars came from the Mighty Commander, he lost this game twice already and he wasn't going to be a fool anymore.

Whoooooooosh.

In an amber star, the Mighty Commander charged at Adam, but his speed wasn't even enough against Adam's usual reaction let alone the fact that his Second Order was now active.

Step.

Fully in control of the situation, Adam took a few steps back, moving out of the explosion's epicenter.

Sharp shards flew towards him, but he only had to tilt his shoulders slightly to dodge each one, no unnecessary movement.

"RRRRRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!"

A less bright but still irritated growl erupted from the Mighty Commander, meeting Adam's calm eyes.

His fingertips trembled slightly after the two gravity blows, but unlike when he first acquired this ability, his body was much sturdier now.

Moreover, the blows themselves were not only stronger but also had a less harsh recoil, not because the ability was better but because Adam mastered the Energy Control.

Thus, by channeling a large amount of energy into his arms during his punches, he made them stronger.

He wouldn't be able to use his Elemental Root's ability again anytime soon, but his hands were on full alert.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The two stone bracelets that were nothing more than heavy jewelry before now shone vibrantly, amber waves of energy like lightning passing through the cracks from one edge to the other to repeat their circle once more.

"And... What is that attribute?" Adam raised an eyebrow curiously looking at his opponent.

For obvious reasons, Adam expected every monster in the fortress to possess powerful flames, but so far that was only partially true.

'The Solitary Commander and the Dark Watchers take advantage of the Irregular Energy, but... it has nothing to do with Stone Mimics or Shadow Walkers.'

"What the hell...?" Adam's eyes went wide as a chill ran down his back.

Whoooosh. Whooosh. Whooosh.

The Mighty Commander zipped rapidly from one stone peak to the next, becoming faster and stronger with each leap.

His trajectory was complex and unpredictable, even with the Second Order in mind, it was hard for Adam to keep track and figure out what the Mighty Commander was going to do next.

'Fuck... If he's attacking me at this speed, then...'

Thump.

Before Adam could finish his thought, two powerful legs slammed into his back, the ring of wind from the powerful momentum splitting apart as the massive muscles quivered.

In a heartbeat, Adam found himself in another part of the cave, plunging into a shallow layer of water with a high splash, yet it hardly softened his crash.

"Rha! Rha! Rha!"

The Mighty Commander's satisfied laughter echoed through the cave as he landed on the round platform, grinning contentedly at his opponent.

A silhouette half hidden in the shadows slowly rose from the ground, trickles of blood streaming from Adam's head, running down his shoulder and the fingertips of his left hand.

If it wasn't for the layer of water, he would pass out from the violent blow to his head.

"You..." Adam bellowed angrily, "Are you satisfied?"

"Gha! Gha! Gha!"

Enjoying Adam's state, the Mighty Commander joyfully slammed his paws on the ground with his tongue out.

Anger boiled inside Adam, but... casting a glance at the Mighty Commander experiencing innocent joy, something inside him changed.

"Hah..."

Adam smiled bitterly shattering his needle into splinters.

"You're like a child... But you're too big, right? I have something to tame you."

At the same moment, the energy traveled to his hands, turning into three rings on his fingers, a single silver thread coming out of each.

"This is more than I can fully control, but... for against you, this will be a great weapon!"
