Elemental-Type Creature

Anyone would have quivered in fear when a punch that size was thrown at them. However, not only did Travis not quiver in fear, a slow smile formed on his face. This was mainly because he knew the weakness of all Rock Golems.

Even though rock golems were known for their massive sizes and brutal strength, they lacked one essential thing. And that was their speed. Yes, Rock golems were totally slow. And Travis planned to exploit their weakness to kill it!

*Swish!*

With a swish, Travis evaded to his far-left dodging the attack from the rock golem. However,

*Swish!... Swish!.... Swish!*

Before he could take a break, he suddenly somersaulted backwards dodging huge spikes from the ground!

He was lucky to have sensed it earlier or else he would have been mincemeat by now! The rising of the huge rock spikes from the ground quickly wiped away the silly smile on Travis' face. That was mainly because Travis just noticed something new.

"Damn it! My worst nightmare has come true! It is the elemental type!", Travis said angrily as he continued to dodge the barrage of punches and spikes from the ground.

Elemental-type creatures were creatures that have the ability to control a specific type of element. Some could even control multiple elements together. Moreover, elemental-type creatures were stronger than their colleagues.

For example, the rock golem Travis was currently fighting seemed to be darker than ordinary C-grade rock golems. This showed its strength which was far superior to his fellow rock golems.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

With each boom, an attack was thrown at Travis either as a punch or as a spike from the ground. Travis was only able to keep up due to the soul-sensing technique. Or else with the continuous bombardment of attacks, Travis would have been mincemeat by now.

"Now!!", Travis shouted as he launched himself in the most violent way possible toward the huge creature.

"Haaa!", by putting all his strength into his right hand, he made a fist and...

*BOOOOM!~~*

A huge boom sounded as huge clouds of dust spread apart sending ripples over the large desert!

Back at the stadium...

The whole stadium which was usually bursting with noise was suddenly very quiet. In fact, not even the sound of a falling needle or even a flying insect could be heard.

Everyone in the stadium had surprised looks on their faces as they looked at the huge screen in the middle of the stadium.

On the screen in the middle of the stadium,

A young boy around the age of sixteen could be seen delivering a punch to a rock golem in a desert. The young boy had short blond hair and medium-sized bright blue eyes like that of the sea.

However, what attracted the crowd's attention was not the looks of the young boy. It was the impact of the clash. The impact of the clash was tremendous. Huge clouds of dust spread across the desert in the form of ripples wrecking everything in its way.

"Didn't you say that he didn't have any superpower?", Mr Wright asked Mrs Rose who currently had a face full of surprise.

"I... I, don't know. He doesn't have any power. How can this be?", Mrs Rose asked confusedly as she looked at the huge screen in the middle of the stadium.

"Are you sure? If he doesn't have any superpower, he can't deliver that kind of punch!", Mr Wright said. Even he was doubting what he was currently seeing. He didn't believe that a person without superpowers could deliver that kind of punch!

"It seems that this guy can really surprise people!", Mr Wright muttered to himself as a slow smile formed on his face.

Back on The Uncanny Desert...

Huge clouds of dust spread across the desert in the form of ripples wrecking everything in its way. Travis was currently standing at his previous position before he launched the attack. He had an anxious look on his face whilst his eyes were closed. He was currently using the soul-sensing technique.

*Swish!*

A fist appeared out of nowhere shocking Travis. However, he was able to evade the punch before it landed.

"I knew it! It also has regenerative properties. Even though it's slow, this is going to be annoying.", Travis muttered to himself as he continued to dodge the incoming attacks.

The reason why Travis punched the rock golem directly with his fist wasn't to measure his strength. It was to check if the rock golem had any regeneration abilities. He suspected that the rock golem definitely had regenerated abilities! However, he wanted to be sure so he launched a surprise attack on it in order to test it.

And his suspicions were finally confirmed. The rock golem did really have a regeneration ability. This means he would have lost his only weapon if he attacked blindly!

The dust that was spreading finally settled making Travis see the rock golem really well. The rock golem was currently controlling the sand to attack Travis whilst it also regenerated its body using the sand from the desert!

Seeing the way the rock golem healed itself, Travis then began to think of solutions to destroy the rock golem.

*Ping! Ping!*

A message from the ceremonial menu suddenly popped up in front of Travis surprising him.

"So, only one position is left, huh? Think! Think Travis.!", Travis thought as he continued to dodge the spikes coming from the ground. He then turned to look at the Rock golem again. The moment he looked at the rock golem again, his eyes began to shine excitedly.

"That is it! I have to destroy the monster core"

An idea suddenly popped into Travis' head as he looked at a huge black ball that was located at the centre of the Rock golem's chest.

A monster core was the energy core of all monsters which contained a lot of energy. That is, destroy the monster core and the creature dies. It functions more like the heart of humans. Monster cores normally looked like a diamond with a royal cut and the size of hazelnut is in excellent condition. These cores are fairly popular because of their uses.

It's said these cores contain disabling properties which make for great offensive and defensive artefact enhancements like laser guns etc.

*Bomb!*

With a huge boom, Travis launched himself towards the rock golem again. This time, he had the nuclear explosive in his hand. He was using it this time. However, just before he could reach his destination,

"AH!~~"

He was punched away by the rock golem making him vomit blood in the process.

Travis was thrown back, vomiting blood all the way. However, just before he fell to the ground, he threw the nuclear explosive in his hand toward the core of the rock golem.

*Boooom!*

A huge boom sounded across the desert as huge clouds of dust were spread across the desert in the form of ripples. Travis tried to stand up but noticed that his health was deteriorating really fast. He felt dizzy for a moment...

Then everything turned dark.
