"Forbidden Pugilist Ability: First Ultimate Form!"
Jon Stones was a legend of Planet Darvis, but he was no Saint. This Pugilist was a warrior, he was a killer, and a damn good one at that.
He rose through the blood of thousands of powerful opponents.
During his prime years as he rose to the peak of power as a Pugilist, his brain was imaginative as he thought up different ways to increase his power.
The more he faced powerful opponents, the more the necessity to get more ingenious and lethal killing ways surfaced in his mind.
His aim was not just to become the strongest Pugilist in Planet Darvis, neither was it to become the strongest superhuman in Planet Darvis either, his real goal was to become the first superhuman to break the Grade B limit.
Having learned of the world outside Planet Darvis and their much more powerful supers, he yearned to meet these warriors to challenge himself more.
He was so determined to get this goal in his younger days that he became unbridled in his search for power, that was when he created this ability.
He saw it as a Forbidden Ability because of the requirements to use it.
This Pugilist Ability worked by increasing his power and vitality by sucking away the power and vitality of all nearby living life, granting him so much power that he named it the Ultimate Form that he could achieve.
The First Ultimate Form doubled his current power. At the Grade C realm, multiplication factors became much more important.
His base power was already so ridiculous that he could fight his current 3 opponents singlehandedly, if doubled, his combat strength would be ridiculous.
The requirements of the First Ultimate Form were much lower. It worked by sucking away the power and vitality of only small living beings like plants.
The 2nd Ultimate Form tripled his current power, but unlike the 1st Ultimate Form, the requirements increased to sucking even the vitality of small animals like ants and smaller rodents.
As for the 3rd Ultimate Form which was the greatest peak strength that he could reach, it increased his current power by roughly 10 times.
300 years ago, was the only time that Jon Stones was forced to use the 3rd Ultimate Form. As he became more powerful and unbridled, King Roland, King Tom's Grandfather deemed him as too arrogant and ordered his assassination.
Core Protector Shanks was the leading warrior of the assassination attempt.
Alongside 5 other Grade C powerhouses, both from the evil and official factions of Planet Darvis, they ambushed and isolated Jon Stones in a specially created plane where they fought him to the death.
The outcome was something that Shanks would never forget all his life.
Core Protector Shanks and the Blood Pugilist were the only survivors.
The requirements for the 3rd Ultimate Form were proportional to its power.
Every single living being below the Grade C realm was affected, every Grade E and below superhuman within a kilometer region dies in an explosive manner to feed the power-hungry ability.
As for Grade D superhumans, the weaker ones had a higher chance of also dying in an explosive manner. As for the more powerful ones, they could barely resist it, even without dying, their energy and power would still be sucked.
After that battle, Core Protector Shanks and the Blood Pugilist recognized the most powerful superhuman in the history of Planet Darvis.
Now, Jon Stones was pushed into using the first form of this forbidden ability again. Instantly after the ability activated, all the plants within a region of a kilometer all withered as their energy and vitality was sucked.
A powerful energy surged with Jon Stones at the center.
The power that was felt outwardly was only a marginal demonstration of the power in display, internally, Jon Stones experienced even more changes.
From the cells, Jon Stones' incredible experience came in play as he channeled the new energy surging within him to all the right places. His cells rapidly regenerated as all his severe injuries started healing rapidly.
In less than a second, he was back to 100% physically.
His transformation was complete in an instant, with his new pair of hands, and his current extremely muscular body, Jon Stones looked like a monster.
His opponents were intimidated but they dared not hold back.
"Axe Combination Attack: Green-White-Green!"
Orc Warlord Zeke led the charge at the front this time.
As soon as he moved, Jon Stones raised his now blood-shot eyes.
Orc Warlord Zeke's twin Axe struck down with power, but on the receiving end, Jon Stones grabbed both weapons with his uppermost pair of hands.
BAM!
The shockwave from this collision was crazy, the ground caved in even more from the impact but Jon Stones remained standing as he glared at the Orc.
With his 2 uppermost hands grabbing the Axe, his 2 lower arms moved.
Orc Warlord Zeke felt his heart skip a beat.
"Stones Specialty: Quadripartite Fist Barrage!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
"Ugh…!" Orc Warlord Zeke's groans of pain reverberated.
The Orc stood no chance, in just a second, his body was completely torn to bloody pieces by the rampaging 4 fists of Jon Stones.
Black Master Einstein and Clown were horrified.
Jon Stones casually threw the carcass of his opponent to the side but Orc Warlord Zeke was not dead. As soon as his carcass was thrown, a blood energy erupted as all his tiny body parts converged together to form the whole again.
Grade C powerhouses were existences at the very peak of Planet Darvis, everyone of them was a boss character, it was only a given that they all had their own special life-preservation abilities and techniques.
Orc Warlord Zeke coughed blood as he rapidly retreated.
Seeing this, Jon Stones was amused but he did not stop, he grinned.
"Sage Style: Whirlwind of Fire and Sand!"
"Sage Style: Fiery Sand Doppelganger!"
"Sage Elementalist Ability: Ancient Wall of Doom!"
"Sage Elementalist Ability: Wind Phoenix Cataclysm!"
Extremely powerful and aggressive Elementalist energy raged.
Jon Stones only grinned though, he did not stop for once. As soon as he took a step, it was like he was stepping through heavens as he arrived beside Black Master Einstein in an instant.
He completely bypassed the raging whirlwind of fire and sand.
Jon Stones threw a punch at his opponent, this punch broke the sound barrier as molecules in the air vibrated to the movement of this force.
BOOM!
Having anticipated this, despite being horrified, Black Master Einstein was still able to react fast enough as a fiery sand doppelganger was left in his wake.
He teleported higher into the air as he prepared to unleash AOE disaster.
Einstein's choice of action was good, it was Clown's that was disastrous. His attack was powerful but with his new defense, Jon Stones simply bulldozed his way through it as if it was not even there.
As for the Ancient Wall of Doom, it was as good as paper before Jon Stones.
Jon Stones slammed through it as he charged towards his opponent.
With one hand, he grabbed Clown by the head and with the remaining 3, he pummeled the life out of this Elementalist.
Clown's life choices saved his life this time, the magical runes and the shield generator erected by his psionic energy saved him from being completely mummified. He was still horrified by the current level of his opponent though.
Orc Warlord Zeke no longer dared stay close to the rampaging Pugilist.
He ordered his Orcs to escape even as he focused on defending, as for Clown and Black Master Einstein, they both focused on now kiting this powerful Pugilist.
Every time that Jon Stones moved, the airspace cracked.
BOOM!
This battle was now one-sided, but it showed no signs of stopping soon.
Far away in the distance, a pair of pitch-black eyes watched as ambition started burning in the eyes of the owner, Blade clenched his fists.
For a long time, his super way that pushed him to improve focused on revenge for his family. Now he got another anchor.
"What a powerful Pugilist". He recognized greatness.
"I'll only be satisfied when I can defeat Jon Stones on a one on one!"
