Chapter 20: The Abyssal Titan vs. Reo – A Battle Beyond Limits
A Titan's Awakening
The ground shook violently as the Abyssal Titan took its first step forward. Dust and debris scattered through the ruined halls of the dungeon, and a massive pressure filled the air, causing some weaker adventurers to fall to their knees.
Its crimson eyes glowed like molten lava, and its body, covered in dark abyssal steel, radiated pure destruction. It was twice the size of a castle, and each movement felt like an earthquake.
[Abyssal Titan – Disaster-Class Monster]
Threat Level: SSS-Rank
Celestia clenched her fists. "This thing… it's an ancient war machine from a forgotten era. No ordinary adventurer can take it down!"
Lucia took a deep breath, gripping her sword tightly. "Then we'll have to go beyond ordinary!"
Reo smirked. "Perfect. I've been waiting for a real challenge."
The Abyssal Titan roared, unleashing a shockwave of energy that sent rubble flying. Then, it raised its colossal fist, coated in dark magic, and slammed it down toward them.

Reo Strikes First!
Reo vanished from his spot, moving at insane speed.
BOOOOM!
The Titan's fist shattered the ground, leaving behind a massive crater.
Reo reappeared above the Titan's head, summoning Celestial Abyss Annihilation.
"Let's see if you can survive this!"
A massive vortex of golden and black energy formed above him, twisting like a raging storm. The spell collapsed reality itself, pulling in everything with its sheer gravitational force.
The Titan roared as the attack engulfed its entire body.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
The explosion erased everything in a 500-meter radius. The adventurers watching from a distance could only gasp in shock.
"I-It's gone…?"
For a moment, silence filled the dungeon.
Then—
THUD!
The Titan's massive armored foot stepped out of the smoke, completely unharmed.
Reo narrowed his eyes. "Tch. So you're not that easy to kill, huh?"

The Titan Fights Back!
The Abyssal Titan suddenly opened its chest, revealing a dark abyssal core.
"WARNING. INITIATING WORLD BREAKER ATTACK."
The core charged up, releasing a wave of destructive energy. The entire dungeon started crumbling under the sheer force of the attack.
Celestia's eyes widened. "That's an apocalyptic-class spell! If it hits, the entire dungeon will collapse!"
Reo gritted his teeth.
He had to stop it. Now.
"Lucia! Celestia! Buy me 10 seconds!"
Lucia didn't hesitate. She dashed forward, her sword glowing with divine energy.
"Moonlight Slash!"
A crescent-shaped light attack blasted toward the Titan's chest. It staggered slightly, but the World Breaker core continued charging.
Celestia floated in the air, her divine aura shining.
"Chains of the Goddess!"
Golden chains wrapped around the Titan's arms, slowing its movements.
But it wasn't enough.
The Titan let out an earth-shaking roar and broke free, sending shockwaves that knocked both Lucia and Celestia back.
Reo clenched his fist. "That's enough! Time to end this!"

Reo Unleashes a New Power!
A black and golden aura exploded from Reo's body.
[New Skill Unlocked – Eclipse Overdrive]
His stats skyrocketed. His speed, strength, and magic power increased tenfold. His eyes burned with divine energy.
The Adventurers watching could only stare in disbelief.
"W-What kind of power is that?!"
"He looks like a god!"
Reo raised his hand, forming a spear of pure annihilation energy.
"Celestial Abyss Spear!"
He launched it directly into the Titan's charging core.
BOOOOOOM!!!!
The entire dungeon erupted in an explosion of divine energy.
The Abyssal Titan screamed, its body being torn apart at the molecular level.

The Aftermath
When the dust settled, the Abyssal Titan was gone.
The dungeon floor was completely obliterated, leaving behind only a massive crater.
Lucia slowly got up. "We… we did it."
Celestia exhaled. "No… He did it."
Reo stood in the middle of the battlefield, his body radiating divine energy. His power had surpassed even SSS-Rank adventurers.

A Mysterious New Threat Appears…
Just as they were about to celebrate, a sinister laughter echoed through the dungeon.
A dark figure stepped forward from the shadows.
"Impressive… But that was just a warm-up."
Celestia's eyes widened in horror. "Impossible… That's…!"
The next battle was about to begin.
