Chapter 278 Cleaning Up (Part 1)

The red flame-like aura surrounded Mako's body as he was ready to explode with strength and rage onto his opponent.

The opponent in question was one of the guards who had the transformation ability of a giant ape beast as his primary ability.

The ape beast was in utter shock after witnessing Mako emerge from the rubble without a scratch on his body as he was absolutely certain that he had killed him with the giant leaping attack that he did.

However, that wasn't the case at all. Mako didn't give the guard any time to think as he dashed in with insane speed his hands erupting in red flames.

The problem with beasts with large bodies was that they weren't very fast and opponents with agility and fast maneuvering capabilities were their kryptonite.

Mako landed a crisp uppercut onto the ape beast's jaw, dealing some damage as well as disorienting him.

Mako's brain functions were limited when he activated Rage Mode as his brain didn't really think of strategy during that time.

The only thought in his mind at that moment was to simply destroy... destroy... destroy...

With that mindset, Mako continued to attack the ape beast with a barrage of rapid flaming punches onto the beast's abdomen.nOVe(lb(1n

The punches were very strong and dealt decent damage with every blow. The ape's hide was burning with its flesh started to break from all the damage it was receiving.

However, Since Mako wasn't really in a strategic mindset, he didn't switch positions and just continued to attack from the front. If Mako wasn't under the effects of Rage Mode he would have abused the fact that his agility could completely overpower the ape beast with him not being fast enough to counter him.

The beast quickly recovered from the initial uppercut and quickly blocked the constant barrage of punches by slamming the ground with such force that the shockwave that was released fung Mako back into the air.

Mako continued to fly backward until he eventually crashed into one of the walls. Furious from the strong hit he had just taken, Mako dug his fingers into the wall that he just got stuck and subconsciously activated his Earth ability.

Cracks began to appear all around the wall as Mako used all of his strength and aura on the wall.

Suddenly the cracks widened a huge chunk of the earth broke off from the wall with Mako attached right on top. The rock quickly began to fall down to the ground, but Mako had other plans.

While still in mid-air, Mako yelled with anger as her exerted as much power as he could muster to flip mid-air while holding onto the giant piece of rock he had just broken off from the wall.

The ape beast's jaw was left hanging as he observed Mako successfully flip himself mid-air such that he was beneath the giant rock instead of being on top.

Using the momentum of the flip, Mako launched the giant rock forward that was two-thirds the size of the ape itself.

The rock moved at a decent speed as it moved through the air, aimed to directly hit the ape beast.

Seeing the potential damage that the rock of this size could do to him in his ape form, the guard became totally serious as he went all out to avoid that outcome.

He couldn't dodge the rock as she was standing directly in the path that led to the crater where his boss had just smashed into. If he were to dodge, the rock would continue on its path and smash into his boss which would definitely kill him given that he was defenseless at the moment.

He just hoped that his boss would be able to recover and fight back against his opponents while he did everything in his power to stop the incoming flying rock.

The silver-colored hair all over the ape's body began to glow as if the ape was covered in shiny molten metal. The glow began to oscillate like a blinking beacon which showed that the ape was charging up.

However, with such little time, the beast couldn't fully charge up and instead, it just used all the energy that he had managed to charge up and concentrated it into his fist.

The ape beast let out a massive roar as he faced the incoming giant rock head-on by punching it to pieces using all of his power.

The ape's fist collided with a rock, sending out a massive and chaotic shockwave that greatly shook the room they were all in.

However, the beast's strength was strong enough to start diffing through the rock as it moved forward, breaking into tiny pieces with the silvery light erupting everywhere as it was being discharged by the beast.

The rock slowly began to crumble as it continued to travel forward while colliding with the ape's fist, eventually destroying the entire rock with his fist emerging out from the other side.

The guard was relieved that he was able to avoid a critical hit that could have potentially ended the fight; however, he didn't realize that the threat wasn't over.

As soon as the ape's fist cleared the whole rock, smashing it into pieces and discharging the last of the silvery light, the ape was expecting to see the room again that was blocked by the shadow of the giant rock; however, what he observed after breaking the rock was that now his vision was covered by yet another massive rock!

All color left the ape's face and his heart shuddered as the second rock smashed into his body instantly, knocking him back into the ground and dragging him along the floor before finally stopping.

Blood sprayed everywhere from the heavily damaged body of the ape beast who still couldn't process how Mako was able to do such a thing.

**************

Back when Mako had used all of his strength to flip himself and launch the large rock, he used the momentum of the rock to propel him back into the air once again and he proceeded to dig his fingers into another part of the wall and began to repeat the same move again.

The second rock had successfully hit the guard whose ape body could be seen shrinking while it was still under the giant rock which meant that the guard was trying to escape from underneath the boulder by reverting back to his regular size.

The guard was successfully able to squeeze himself out from underneath the rock from a small crack that remained between the crater he was in and the rock that had crushed him into this crater.

He was incredibly hurt with cuts and bruises all over; however, that didn't stop Mako who was already dashing across the room to fulfill his purpose and destroy his target.

The guard hadn't even taken a couple of breaths before Mako arrived in front of him, ready to continue.

"Please... I surrender... Have mercy..." The guard pleaded as he had no strength left to fight, a single attack being strong enough to take him out.

For a moment, it looked like Mako had listened to what the guard was saying which brought a sliver of hope into the guard's eyes; however, in the next moment, the flames surrounding his body ignited with greater fervor as he let out a massive roar in front of the guard's face, giving him his answer.

Mako didn't hesitate as he dashed forward to end the guard. The guard understood that his life was in grave danger and in desperation, he activated his fire ability and propelled himself backward by firing a powerful jet of fire toward Mako.

The flames seemed to have some effect on Mako as he slowed down and held up his arms to protect himself before eventually sidestepping to the right to escape from the sudden attack.

The guard continued to fly backward hoping to escape with his fire jets but Mako was quick to recover. His hands were blackened from tanking the fire stream but his pain receptors were dulled; another perk of Rage Mode.

Mako roared in pain and anger as he wouldn't let his target escape. His body subconsciously activated his Lightning ability as soon his body became covered with yellow arcs of lightning and he began rapidly firing lightning bolts at him.

It looked like the guard had quite some experience using the fire ability as a propeller to help him fly at high speeds as he was quite good at steering himself and dodging the incoming lightning bolts.

However, Mako wasn't done as he still hadn't ended his target. Time was running out for his Rage mode and so he had to make this last attack count. The guard was too slippery for him to attack him with his single-shot long-range attacks and too fast to catch up to using his own speed.

Using the window that Mako had given where he had stopped firing lightning bolts, the guard booked it towards the first entrance hoping to escape before Mako found a way to counter him, but he was too late as Mako didn't really think while in Rage Mode.

Using what little brain function Mako had, Mako began punching the ground with great strength again and again.

The guard had no idea what Mako was up to nor was he interested in finding out as he continued flying toward the entrance that was so close in front of him.

Mako had lifted up tons of small rocks that were formed went the guard destroyed the giant rock into the air with his ground punches and now with his ammo loaded, he was ready to fire.

Mako quickly began punching all the small chunks of rock very rapidly sending forward a barrage of very fast rock projectiles.

The guard looked back with a smirk on his face as he was not sure where he could make his escape when suddenly his smirk turned into terror as tens of hundreds of small projectiles were flying towards him at high speeds.

The guard tried to maneuver himself around the first few rocks but eventually one of them hit him straight in the face making him crash into the wall right beside the entrance.

The remaining rock continued to rain down on his battered body that got stuck into the ground with his blood flying everywhere.

Soon after the barrage of rock projectiles stopped and Mako's Rage Mode also came to an end with him collapsing onto the ground a moment later due to the exhaustion status effect for which he had no energy to fight against.

The guard's body or what remained of it was stuck into the wall with blood and pieces of flesh littered everywhere showing how brutal of a death the guard had suffered at the hands of Mako.
