I Am a Hero With A Hundred Abilities-Chapter 19: Ch 18. Battle of the Primes

The sky still crackled with residual energy from Gray's thunderous strike, but the battle was far from over.

As the lightning bolt crashed into the Hollow Goremite, a deafening boom echoed across the battlefield, shaking the ground beneath them.

Gray landed swiftly, paws skidding across the broken terrain. He exhaled sharply, his fur bristling with residual static, but there was no sign of fatigue—only the unwavering drive to fight.

Ethan's eyes narrowed as he watched the thick smoke consuming the Hollow Goremite's massive frame. For a moment, silence reigned.

"Did that do it?" Ethan asked, his voice calm but expectant.

Then—

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

A guttural, earth-shaking roar.

The smoke ripped apart as the Goremite stood tall, unscathed, save for a single scorch mark on its chest—its dark bones now charred blacker than night where the lightning had struck.

The emerald flames in its eyes burned with newfound rage as it lurched forward, its steps sending out shockwaves, carving deep craters into the ground with every stomp.

Ethan leaped down from Gray's back. "Hold it back. while I get ready."

Gray let out a low growl of understanding, his stance shifting, claws sinking into the ground as he braced for the assault.

The Goremite did not slow.

With terrifying speed, it reached Gray and swung its colossal fist downward. The impact detonated the ground, sending a thick shockwave of dust and rubble in all directions. A dust cloud engulfed the battlefield.

But Gray was already moving.

A streak of silver and storm, he burst out of the dust, horn crackling with power once more. Thunder rumbled overhead as the sky answered his call, and with a sharp jerk of his head—he unleashed another bolt of lightning.

Ethan moved swiftly through the battlefield, weaving between scattered debris and deep craters left in the wake of the Hollow Goremite's rampage.

His mind was razor-focused—every second counted.

After a brief sprint, he reached a clearing. "This place will do."

From his storage ring, he retrieved a rhomboid-shaped device, its smooth, metallic surface etched with faint, glowing runes.

The Celestial Ruin Array.

It had cost him 5 million points—a price so steep that he had no way to replenish his resources if this failed.

It was a One shot one chance scenario.

Ethan quickly knelt, digging a shallow hole in the dirt before placing the device inside.

As he covered it, he murmured, "Three more to go."

The Celestial Ruin Array required its four components to be buried at the cardinal points before activation.

Once fully deployed, it would summon an obliterating beam from the sky, a strike of unparalleled destruction.

The catch? It could only be used once.

He wasted no time, moving to the next location.

As he ran, he cast a quick glance toward the battle.

Gray was locked in a deadly dance with the Hollow Goremite. With Stormpiercer Horn on cooldown, Gray had resorted to pure agility.

The massive construct's bone fists tore through the battlefield, its strikes leaving gaping craters where they landed.

But Gray was always one step ahead, his movements fluid and untamed—dodging, weaving, anticipating each attack with feral precision.

Ethan clenched his jaw. "Just a little longer."

He reached the second position, dug quickly, and buried the device.

The battlefield rumbled violently, a result of the two pseudo-prime beasts clashing with unrelenting force. Ethan didn't falter.

He sprinted to the third location, digging in record time before setting the third piece of the Celestial Ruin Array into place.

Now, the final piece.

The ground quaked beneath his feet, but he pushed forward, ignoring the destruction unfolding around him. Gray had done his part, holding back the Goremite.

Ethan reached the final location. With precise movements, he buried the last piece.

Now, all that was left—was to lock the Goremite in place.

Ethan raised his hand, signaling Gray. The moment had arrived.

Gray caught the signal instantly, his eyes flashing with understanding. The battle's momentum shifted, his movements subtly guiding the Hollow Goremite toward the striking point.

The massive bone construct didn't realize it was being maneuvered—its blind aggression playing right into their hands.

Ethan positioned himself, his fingers hovering over the activation rune. All he needed was the perfect moment.

As the battle reached its climax.

The Goremite was frustrated and enraged as it swung its colossal fist at Gray, but the Stormborn Lupir was already moving.

He leapt, twisting mid-air, his horn crackling with power. Stormpiercer Horn activated—the sky boomed as a bolt of lightning, bright as a falling star, slammed into the Goremite's chest.

A crackling explosion of light engulfed the battlefield. The Goremite stiffened, its body locked in place, tendrils of electricity dancing across its blackened bones.

Now.

Ethan pressed the rune.

A satisfying hum echoed through the air as the Celestial Ruin Array activated.

In an instant, intricate golden arrays unfolded, their symbols interlocking at impossible speeds, forming a glowing geometric prison around the stunned Goremite.

The construct's green eyes flickered, its instincts sensing danger—but it was too late.

A single, blinding pillar of light shot skyward.

Then—silence.

For a fraction of a second, the battlefield held its breath, the world frozen in eerie stillness.

Then—

A cataclysmic beam, fifty times the size of the initial light, descended from the heavens like divine judgment.

It crashed down like lightning, engulfing the Goremite entirely.

A blinding explosion followed, its sheer force sending a concussive shockwave rippling outward.

Ethan and Gray were hurled backward, the force of the impact tearing up the ground, carving deep trenches into the battlefield.

The air roared with energy, the sky momentarily splitting apart from the sheer intensity of the blast. Dust and debris swirled violently, the aftermath of power beyond mortal means.

As the light began to fade, Ethan forced himself upright, his heart hammering in his chest.

As the light fully faded, a single object remained—a green core, floating in the sky. It pulsed with an ominous glow, no larger than a tennis ball, yet exuding an unsettling presence.

Ethan's gut twisted with unease. Something was wrong.

The shattered remains of the Hollow Goremite began to stir.

One by one, the colossal bone fragments lifted off the ground, moving toward the core, seeking to reassemble.

Ethan acted instantly.

He whipped out his rifle, firing precise shots at the core, but the bullets bounced off harmlessly, leaving no mark.

"Damn it!" he hissed.

Gray, breathing heavily, stood still, completely exhausted from the battle.

Stormpiercer Horn was still on cooldown. He couldn't unleash another strike.

The Goremite's reconstruction was slow but inevitable—its body knitting itself back together as the core remained untouched.

Time was running out.

Ethan burst into a sprint, his boots kicking up dust as he rushed toward the floating debris.

Without hesitation, he latched onto a reassembling piece, gripping its jagged surface before leaping to the next one.

Piece by piece, he climbed, propelling himself upward toward the core as the skeletal titan attempted to rebuild itself.

He made the final jump.

And snatched the core mid-air, its surface burning cold in his grip, then immediately he kicked off a floating rib fragment, using the momentum to descend.

The ground rushed toward him.

Rolling upon impact, he barely absorbed the force, his fingers still clutching the pulsating core.

But the reattaching bones were relentless—they now shifted toward him, fast.

Ethan didn't hesitate.

With a single motion, he threw the core into his mouth and swallowed.
