Chapter 166: Elite and Destruction

The [Sublevel 4 ELITE Guard] was standing there, its physique now completely visible as the smoke had disappeared, and it just stood there, looking down on Stark.

It was 1.5 times bigger than a normal guard, making it almost reach the very high ceiling of the floor, and at least eight times as high as Stark.

Just like its other peers though, it had mostly beige/gray skin with disgusting bumps all over it, and just like the other guards, a dark cloth was hiding its genitals.

But in comparison to the others, it wasn't bear-chested, as it actually had a piece of silver armor over its chest and stomach, allowing it to protect itself from stabs.

Over its head was also a silver helmet from the same materials as its body armor, with only two small holes where its eyes are supposed to be.

Beyond those holes was darkness, and only a little white point from its pupils was there to show that it was indeed alive.

As for its weapons, it had two: on its right hand it was carrying a giant metal sword with traces of blood all over it, something that showed that thing has already killed many living beings, whether humans or monsters didn't matter.

And on its left hand was... a morning star: it was a spiky black ball with a handle the guard was holding to control it.

"KRAAKRA~" the elite guard roared as it took yet another step toward Stark, ready to destroy the prisoner that tried to escape the Lucullus Prison...

'Heh~ it's fine, it should be as slow as the others-' Stark kept his focus on the monster, but it shouldn't be that fast.

~FWISH~

'Huh?' yet in less than a second, the morning star of the elite guard was already in front of his face.

It was too fast, way too fast.

"INVINCIBLE DODGE!" he rolled away.

[Perfect Dodge!]

The world slowed down around Stark, and he took advantage of that to activate [Perception] to check out his enemy, the small white pupils beyond the darkness of its helmet's holes burning with aura as a trail was left behind every time it moved.

...

~KING, KING, KING~

The guard just blocked all three with his sword, taking 0 damage as it was way sturdier than the cleaver the others had.

"SPATIAL INVENTORY," while he was blocking Stark's attacks, the boy opened his inventory void and took out four [Crystal Stun] potions.

~THROW, THROW...~

He threw them all toward the elite's body while it was occupied, and all potions hit it, exploding upon impact and releasing the white mist.

But...

['Status Immunity' makes 'Elite Guard' immune to status effects!]

Meaning that the [Stun] wouldn't work on it, even from his crimson fists.

And so right at that moment, when Stark was thinking of what he should be doing...

~THUMP, THUMP~

Stark lifted his gaze and saw the giant rush at him.

"BODY SLAM!" then it jumped in the air, preparing to land on top of him with its full weight.

"INVINCIBLE DODGE!" he couldn't avoid this attack to begin with since the monster was almost as big as the hallway, and even damaged the ceiling in the process of jumping, plus the impact would surely send him flying, so this was his only option.

[Perfect Dodge]

Stark looked at the corner of the hallway, his gaze shaking as he wondered when the hell would 'THAT' finish, he really needed it.

"MAD RUSH," not letting him get a single second of rest, the elite guard got up unharmed and rushed toward Stark, placing its shoulder in front of its body like a rugby player wanting to tackle down somebody.

~FWISH~

Stark slid down and somehow managed to avoid the attack by passing between the guard's legs.

~BOOOOM~

It crashed against the obsidian wall in front of it as it couldn't stop in its rush.

~SHATTER~

The wall was completely destroyed as the guard passed right through it, revealing another hallway behind.

"-12813!" it received some damage, but quickly got up and grabbed its morning star back.

This fight was getting really bad, and Stark had no idea how to beat this thing for now...

'Think, Stark, think...!' Stark faced the giant monster as it removed the debris from its armor and got up again.

"KRAKKR~" and the guard was also getting angrier for no apparent reason, I mean, it was the one that decided to crash onto the wall?!

Soon enough... they would be able to use 'THAT' perk for the first time...
