Chapter 80 Chomp; The Earth Guardian's Defeat!

As the hilt, which still had a bit of sharp obsidian in it, stabbed the guardian's eye, it let out a grizzly screech and stumbled backward. It was clearly distressed from the attack. Finally, it showed some reaction to anything that had been thrown on it thus far.

"Haha! I knew it! The stone is not the real you, but this is!" Lyrian laughed with a large grin on his face.

"What? You're telling me that the essence is the real guardian?" Han yelled as he stopped running and turned around. The others also did the same.

On saying this, the essence suddenly swam out of the eyesocket of the guardian and went into the arms instead.

"You won't escape me!" Lyrian said as he saw this, jumping over to the arms before stabbing the essence and gluing the rocks that formed the arm together.

The beast let out another screech, swinging its arm at Lyrian to try and kill him right there, but Lyrian swiftly dodged the blow, causing the beast to strike its own face. The attack also landed in its other eye where there was still essence, meaning that it damaged itself.

Jumping from shoulder, to head, to arms, and to the torso at immense, speeds, Lyrian stabbed his hilt into every crevice of essence he could find, causing the creature to be overwhelmed. Finally, it went berserk, shaking its entire body uncontrollably as Lyrian was thrown off due to the unbalanced force.

Immediately, the essence spread through the golem's body again and took full control, slamming its fists into the ground multiple times as it created a giant barrier of spikes all around itself and Lyrian.

Lyrian looked around quickly, waiting for the spikes to lower so he could escape, but unlike the other times, they stood tall. Most likely over 50 feet in height.

"So you're going full serious mode now huh?" Lyrian said to the guardian as he slammed its fists down toward Lyrian.

Lyrian swiftly dodged the blow as he ran around to the back of the beast. It wasn't easy by any means, but Lyrian found that as long as he could dodge the beast, he wouldn't have any big problems fighting it alone.

"Lyrian! There are spikes on these walls as well, we won't be able to get inside for a while!" Han yelled from the outside.

"Wait! We will try and breakthrough!" Leon also exclaimed.

Hearing this, Lyrian spoke as he dodged the guardian's attacks, "No, don't worry about me! This place is too cramped to hold any more people, we will all just get wiped out if everyone comes inside! Clearly, it trapped itself here, so this is its final attempt to win. It has no choice but to win, so I'll just kill it by myself!"

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "What!? Don't be stupid, we will help you!" Alten yelled from afar, as he and the other two who were standing back quickly came running.

"There's no need! I won't lose, trust me!" Lyrian said, convinced that he knew everything that he needed to win.

Everyone else went silent, as Lyrian powered his body up with Enhance and began dashing around the infuriated beast.

"Your gigs up, time to die, rock!" He shouted, jumping up to the shoulder of the beast and he slammed his fist into the shoulder socket where a chunk of essence was, bursting it at once as rocks flew to the side.

He landed back on the ground, and the guardian immediately tried to punch him again.

"Attacking me with the same hand? You haven't formed your shoulder joint yet, so this hand is no longer invincible!" Lyrian yelled, charging his fist.

As the giant rock fist of the guardian neared only feet above him, Lyrian unleashed his own attack, "Shock Fist!"

The two fists collided with each other with immense force, causing a giant explosion of dust as the guardian's rock hand was crushed into a thousand pieces, thrown everywhere throughout the enclosed space.

The only reason why Lyrian actually damaged the beast, was because the essence had left the fist to go repair the shoulder joint, something that he learned only moments prior could work.

However, just as he rejoiced slightly on seeing that his attack finally worked, the essence quickly took back all of the smaller pebbles as well, reforming the fist to an intact condition.

'Attacks won't work on its stone body, and I don't see how a liquid could ever die...' Lyrian thought to himself, narrowly avoiding another punch as he began dashing around the enclosed space again.

'I'm going to have to trap this damn liquid!' The guardian erected spikes from the ground again, Lyrian only being able to dodge by jumping high into the air before landing on his hands.

'That's going to be easier than normal since it's not just any liquid, but one that most likely can't separate like other unconscious liquids.' He said, dodging a series of rock fists from the enraged beast.

'But... neither I nor anyone else here has anything large enough to contain it! So it looks like there's only one option!' He finally jumped up to the top of the guardian's skull and grabbed the essence that was nearest to him with his hand.

Grabbing it felt slimy and warm, yet dry at the same time. His palm experienced an almost painful tingling sensation as the essence tried to escape his grasp, but he held on tightly.

"I got you now!" He yelled as the beast tried to frivolously move its body to throw him off. After nothing worked, it tried to punch Lyrian, but just before the punch landed, Lyrian put the essence in his hands in front of him as a shield, instantly stopping the punch in its tracks.

"Hahaha! How pathetic!" He said, seeing the guardian lower its fist as it continued to shake its body.

"So this was it? This was all I needed to do?" He said, "It's time to end this now!"

He finally took a deep breath before... biting into the essence!

[Warning! You have consumed a dangerous substance!]

As he ate it, he pulled the essence from the rest of the guardian's body with his hands, almost like he was eating one giant noodle.

"KREEEAHHH" The guardian let out another screech, but it was getting too late.

Its body ceased to have the strength that it had before, and as Lyrian finally consumed the last bit of essence, the giant body of the beast crumbled and fell, becoming nothing but a pile of rocks.
