Surviving the Apocalypse While Being Tempted by an Elf and a Dark Elf
Chapter 353: Acquaintance (6)
Luke’s confusion only increased the more he moved since those large explosions were often happening around, and they probably consumed a lot of life. Only a crazy powerful mage would have that much mana. Still, Luke recalled that he might have some ideas as to their identities. They could be the fire giant that destroyed Rina’s home and killed her parents, or they could be the creature that exterminated hundreds of thousands of dark elves and opened that crater in Shalia’s world. That wasn’t exactly accurate to say, but Luke had a score to settle with them for destroying the worlds of his friends like that.
Eventually, Luke decided to stop because he could sense two magical presences ahead. They were colliding against each other, and they were so powerful that they could destabilize the world to the point that even the sky had darkened. Besides, waiting for them to kill each other wouldn’t be so bad. In the worst-case scenario, two powerful overlords will disappear from existence, and in the best-case scenario, Luke will find two half-dead overlords to kill. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"The question is... how do I weaken my presence in order not to alert them?" Luke thought while he was hiding in the fortress outside the planet.
The most obvious way would be to replenish his mana... probably, it was hard to say for sure if such a simple method would work, but Luke decided to do that anyway. By increasing the size of his dimension, the cost would increase and keep draining it over time. Still, even if that was for the sake of being stealthy, Luke wasn’t crazy enough not to have a backup plan. He only wanted to use the mana clone in extreme situations, after all. Once he overcomes the battles before the big boss, he will let loose with that one.
In any case, Luke slowly approached the area after he jumped from his fortress. It was accurate to say that he fell from orbit, but at that point in time, his endurance was so high that he could endure that. Regardless, the tremors were making the entire area tremble. The explosions were as powerful as the Blasts of the giant red punches, but their scope was much bigger.
Eventually, Luke found in the distance two creatures fighting each other. One of them had an armor that apparently was made of flames. Although the fire giant was fifty meters tall, it was without a doubt a woman. It also fits the characteristics that Rina mentioned. Whenever she stepped, she created craters the size of her feet, and the area was burned down as well. She had short red hair and quite the bazoongas, but Luke would look at those for a short moment. She was an enemy that he had to kill, so there was no pointing in admiring her curves.
The other enemy was a guy who was wearing crystal armor, at least it looked like crystal armor, but even from far away, Luke could see a certain Aura coming from it. Most likely, it was armor made of ice. Luke wondered if it was a coincidence that those two were wearing elemental armors... Regardless, the guy had long black hair and also was fifty meters tall. Aside from the obvious different characteristics that pulled them apart was the fact that the man had a large tail and the woman had a pair of red horns.
Suddenly, the woman punched the space in front of her, and that had been enough to create and fire some massive Fireballs. The man only stepped forward slightly while pointing his fingers to his front and made some ice walls emerge and block them. Despite that, the explosion caused an earthquake.
"That is some crazy firepower... She must be using some type of magic that enchants her physical attacks with fire. That is why the blast of her attacks is that powerful," Luke thought. "As for the guy, he can read and anticipate the attacks with enough precision to use just the right amount of mana to block those."
Luke had to watch them fight for a while longer to confirm all that, but it was indeed completely true. Still, it was really troublesome that neither side was tired or wounded, even though it was clear that they had been fighting like that for hours. If Luke didn’t know any better, he would say that they were just training. Still, in the end, they never got too close from each other because they knew that the moment they did, they would receive the enemy’s most powerful attack.
"At this rate, my plan to ambush them won’t become a reality..." Luke thought while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
After looking around, Luke assumed that such a world had no longer monsters. He was behind the fire giant, and all the area around was basically burned land. There were even some lakes of lava around the area. It was impossible for minions to survive in such a place. After looking behind the ice giant, Luke could see some frozen mountains. It was kind of amazing that such a thing happened, but they changed the geography of that world to obtain some terrain advantage. Still, it seemed that the ice giant had the upper hand since he left his territory.
Luke couldn’t care less about fighting honorably, so he began to think of a plan to kill those creatures at the same time. Still, with the power he obtained, even with the mana of a clone, it would be pretty hard to kill a single one.
"This world made me remember that cartoon where two guys changed the geography of an entire island with their elemental powers..." Luke thought. "Still, that isn’t knowledge that I can use to stop them."
Putting that aside, Luke had to retreat because suddenly, both giants began to move away from the area. It was impossible to tell, but the day was ending in that world.
