Chapter 254

The Magma Titan’s massive form shifted, its belly opening wide like the gaping maw of a fiery beast. With a deep rumble, it unleashed an overwhelming torrent of lava, a molten river surging directly at Jake.

His instincts kicked in, and he dashed away, zigzagging across the uneven terrain punctuated by rock outcroppings. The Magma Titan, fueled by its primal fury, tracked Jake’s every move with eerie precision. A fierce growl echoed through the air as the lava streamed closer, painting the ground in vivid orange and red hues.

Spotting a nearby rock outcropping, Jake leaped behind it just in time, the torrent splashing against the stone surface with a thunderous crash. Lava splattered everywhere, a sizzling torrent of fire droplets showering all around him, leaving the air thick with the acrid smell of smoke.

As he crouched behind the outcropping, Jake felt an unsettling warmth emanating from the rock. To his dismay, he realized that the stone was beginning to melt, dripping like wax on a candle. The Magma Titan’s torrent of lava must be magically enhanced, significantly increasing its potency.

The steam from the fiery lava kept hitting the outcropping, devouring the rock and rapidly reducing its size, with hot splashes flying every which way. It wouldn’t be long before the rock was significantly diminished, no longer able to provide adequate cover to protect him.

Jake took a moment to gather his wits. He couldn’t stay there much longer. The safety the rock offered was fleeting. He quickly looked around, searching for another rock. Then, with a sudden burst of speed, he sprang out from behind the crumbling cover and raced toward another rock formation further along.

The ground trembled beneath him as the Magma Titan bellowed in fury, tracking his movements with a torrent of lava. The stream of fiery lava closely followed Jake, lagging just a hair’s breadth behind him.

He barely reached the next outcropping, diving behind it just as the torrent splattered violently against the surface, sending molten droplets cascading in every direction. He paused for a brief moment, fully aware that time was running out, and he had to find another cover before the magical inferno consumed his current refuge whole.

For the next several moments, Jake dashed from cover to cover while the Magma Titan tracked him with its torrent of fire. As soon as one rock outcropping was reduced to a size too small to provide adequate protection, Jake leaped from cover and sprinted to another.

At last, his opponent’s ability was finally exhausted. Jake ceased running and turned to face the Magma Titan, waiting for its next move. For a moment, they locked eyes. The monster’s featureless face couldn’t express any emotions, but it seemed highly displeased that Jake was still alive.

He didn’t have to wait long. The Magma Titan plunged its massive hands into the bubbling, molten lava, retrieving two enormous boulders. However, instead of hurling them directly at Jake like before, it smashed them down forcefully onto the island.

Instantly, the boulders began to smolder and crack, shifting as they morphed into humanoid forms. Jake noticed that the creatures bore a striking resemblance to the towering Magma Titan but stood only about six and a half feet tall. Their limbs were thick and muscular, with hands clenched into powerful fists. Still, they were no match for his own huge smashfists. 

The newly formed beings were made of hardened volcanic rock, their bodies glowing red-hot in some areas, shimmering with the essence of molten magma beneath their stony exteriors. As they straightened and rose to their feet, Jake noticed the fierce determination etched into their features, mirroring that of their creator. Glowing red orbs that served as their eyes gazed at him with fury.

Magma Golem - Level 150

With synchronized movements, the summoned golems advanced toward him from different directions, the ground trembling slightly under their heavy steps. The air around Jake grew hotter, infused with the smell of scorched earth and smoke. Each magma golem assumed a threatening stance, flames flickering around their tightly clenched fists.

Jake squared off for a fight against the two imposing golems that were the first to reach him. One lunged forward, its granite fist swinging in a deadly arc. Jake ducked just in time, feeling the rush of displaced air as the punch whistled above him. He instantly countered, delivering a powerful uppercut to the golem’s chin, sending bits of molten stone flying, but it barely staggered.

The second golem, as large and menacing as the first, charged at him with surprising speed. Jake pivoted, narrowly avoiding another crushing blow while countering with a hard strike to the side of its granite head. The golem grunted, but the impact barely halted its advance. Jake felt the heat emanating from the two magma golems, warping and distorting the air around them.

As the two foes closed in, Jake dodged a punch thrown by one of them and immediately countered. He unleashed a powerful strike, staggering the golem back. Seizing the moment, Jake launched himself forward, delivering a lightning-fast series of jabs that cracked its rocky exterior. Each punch sent tremors through the golem, and soon his opponent could take no more, shattering into numerous blazing pieces and glowing embers.

A few more magma golems approached him. While they didn’t move very fast, their punches were lightning-fast. He dodged a blow from one and ducked as a second swung at him. However, a third golem caught him with a sweeping arm. The punch was surprisingly powerful, sending him crashing sideways into another golem.

The golem seized the opportunity, wrapping its powerful granite arms around Jake’s torso. Before he could react, another golem charged from the front, its fists ablaze with fiery energy. He lifted both feet off the ground, and the golem behind him had no trouble holding his full weight at all.

With tremendous force, Jake kicked the golem before him in the chest, sending it hurling backward and crashing to the ground. Jake planted his feet firmly on the ground and, with a sudden burst of power, cracked the back of his head into the face of the golem gripping him from behind.

Stunned by the blow, the golem’s grip on Jake loosened momentarily, giving him the chance to break free. Spinning around, he unleashed a flurry of powerful strikes, shattering the golem into several pieces of granite.

The magma golems continued to advance on him from every direction. Jake charged at them, swinging his smashfists, igniting a brutal exchange. He weaved expertly, evading punches with acrobatic grace while retaliating with his own powerful strikes.

Ducking beneath a massive swing, he maneuvered behind another golem and unleashed a devastating blow, shattering the creature into countless blazing fragments of granite. 

He leaped at another golem, delivering a powerful combo that sent the granite monster wobbling. Fueled by determination, Jake unleashed another series of punches at his opponent. The golem collapsed, breaking apart into several pieces. Jake pivoted toward yet another magma golem, his resolve to win steadfast.

The clash between Jake and the golems continued for several more intense minutes. With fists like iron, the golems lunged at him, each punch reverberating but doing little against his sturdy armor. Jake mirrored their ferocity, countering with his smashfists, sending shockwaves through their bodies as his punches connected. His strikes were precise and powerful, breaking through the rocky exterior of his opponents.

Jake unleashed a flurry of punches, dismantling the golems one by one. Each golem crumbled into bits of molten rock under the relentless assault of his smashfists. At some point, he realized the fight should have ended some time ago, yet the magma golems kept coming. Focused on battling the golems, he had simply paid little attention to the Magma Titan.

But when he finally cast a glance toward it, he realized why the fight had stretched on for so long. The Magma Titan summoned a new golem each time he defeated one. However, Jake knew it couldn’t go on forever, as the Magma Titan’s ability had to wear out at some point. So he continued fighting the golems, defeating them one after another.

Finally, the battle concluded. The ground around him was strewn with shards of shattered granite and glowing embers. With no more golems itching for a fight, Jake shifted his attention back to the Magma Titan. The giant appeared deeply dissatisfied that none of its three abilities had succeeded in defeating him.

Alright then, Jake thought. You’ve had your fun. Now it’s my turn. 

And he launched himself at the Magma Titan.
