Only I Am A Reader-Chapter 527 Giant Vs Giant

In order to perfectly enact his plan, there were two tasks that Leo had to accomplish.

'A clean finish.'

Firstly, he had to take down the bloody abomination in as little time as possible, and secondly, he had to demolish the well-constructed Encroachment Tower in even less time than that.

While Leo couldn't exactly gauge the difficulty of the second task based on the vague explanation he read, it was a different story when it came to the living beast standing in front of him.

Its Aura, Energy Signal, and even its breath betrayed how strong it really was. Faced with such an opponent, there were many ways that Leo could handle this. In the end, however, he decided to follow the most basic rule of fighting. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝑚

'Go.'

Challenging size with size!

Although he was weaker in comparison, Leo had already experienced a battle against a monster that was even more gigantic than the bloody abomination, and that taught him a lesson.

Unless one could hit them with something that was just as gigantic, they would need a whole lot of time to take them down even if they were stronger in general.

[ 4.79% ]

Naturally, Leo wasn't going to repeat that very same experience when he was so tight on time, especially when one of his limits had been recently undone.

'Go wild.'

Not long ago, Shadow Nightmares were just unstable cards that needed restriction, but now, Leo had enough control to let it reach its limit.

Roaaaaar!

Even the bloody abomination could tell that something wrong was about to happen when it saw the extended shadow, but just like Leo couldn't do anything to stop its birth, it could also do nothing as its opponent came to form.

Hissssss…

The rising shadow no longer had to rise as a snake, its initial body already had proper limbs, a torso, a lower body… What originally looked like a miniature Eastern dragon seemed to transform into a Western one, and it was still growing!

Unlike last time when growth caused the Nightmares' bodies to distort, this Shadow Dragon was completely stable from head to toe, the only thing different about it was its Aura. Once he sensed it, even the confident Leo was starting to have some doubts.

'Is this really a dragon?'

Although Leo still didn't know why the Nightmares insisted on taking this form, he questioned its authenticity. It was from a completely different perspective, but the giant he created was just as creepy as the bloody abomination.

Its face might have looked like that of a majestic black dragon, but its expression was that of a crazy psychopath.

'Not sure about mine, but I guess this is what nightmares are made from.'

The Shadow Dragon intimidated everything around it including Leo. However, Leo understood that this was just an illusion. No matter how crazy this beast became, the current him still held its full reins!

With a steeled heart, Leo leaped over the Shadow Dragon's tail before running towards its head as the lone Black Dragon Shadow Replica grew bigger and bigger in his hand.

Naturally, he wasn't going to stand still while his pet did everything. It was time to turn this fake scarecrow into true nightmare feed!

Chomp!

Whether it was Fire Breath or the infamous Dragon Tongue, the grandiose Shadow Dragon did nothing of that sort. Rather than match its form's impression, it still resorted to the most basic forms of violence. Biting the bloody abomination's neck!

Craaahhh!

The fearsome Miniboss was the one that was supposed to incur terror in its opponents' hearts, but it ended up screaming in horror as a big chunk of meat separated from its upper body.

Before it could even do anything in response, the Shadow Dragon inserted its claws into both of its sides, nailing the bloody abomination in its place.

Graahhh!

The previous dread-inducing roars were reduced to cries of pain. The only reason this battle hadn't ended on the spot was that both giants were still equal in size, but the Miniboss' chances weren't that great.

'I would have done it, but it's too risky for its worth.'

Although Leo wanted to make something big enough to step on the bloody Abomination like an insect, something of that size could barely be maintained for a single second.

If the Miniboss somehow managed to survive that single attack, Leo would have to waste more time taking what was left of it on his own!

On the other hand, while the current size drained as much Enigma as his evolved regeneration Talent could produce, it was guaranteed to show the bloody abominations its place.

'Don't forget about me.'

As the Shadow Dragon took another bite at the Miniboss' head, Leo drove his spear through the abomination's head, creating a cavity in the middle of its ugly face!

Since the muscles that were holding it back were cut, the Nightmare Dragon drove its teeth deeper, biting off half of the abomination's face.

At this point, the Miniboss' body was still resisting, but red drool dripped from what remained of its mouth, making its face look completely unresponsive.

'One more.'

Seeing that his opponent was unlikely to make any more big moves, Leo jumped off, stabbing his spear in the middle of the Miniboss' torso to prevent himself from falling.

Naturally, he didn't keep himself hanging like that. Instead, he called on his Shadow tendrils to pull him down.

Swish!

Relying on Shadow Armament's enhanced sharpness, Leo used his enlarged spear to saw the Abomination's stomach in half.

Once his part of the job was done, the Nightmare Dragon similarly dug its claws deeper before pulling apart the abomination's upper body!

Now that it reached the point where only its legs remained intact, even the Miniboss that possessed a great amount of vitality could do nothing but collapse in place.

Confirming his victory, Leo momentarily controlled the Shadow Dragon to grab the Enigma Stone that hid within the remains and directly stowed away using the Nightmare's palm. Finally…

He raised his head to look at the towering structure ahead of him.

'Your turn.'

Waiting no further than this, Leo instantly threw his spear at the center of the Encroachment Tower!
