Universal Power System-Chapter 166 Absolute Annihilation

The mist was still thick and was protecting the trio from getting targeted by the red beams that the giant Bulked-Up Puffclaw was shooting. In order to make it stop shooting blindly and accidentally hitting the shelter along with Erin and Leon, Bill and Iris had to get the beast's attention.

Bill charged up his wind aura and took a skill out of the leader's book that they had fought against while walking back to the base.

Bill called upon the aura of the wind itself and strong wind began to blow around him pushing away the mist completely. The giant beast stopped shooting red beams randomly as it felt the strong winds pushing the mist away and within seconds all the mist and smoke had been completely removed by Bill's wind ability.

The beast had finally found its prey again and this time it was the prey that had come to it by themselves. Since Mako had burned a lot of the fuzz around its mouth, the giant Puffclaw couldn't hide his huge smile under its fuzz anymore showing it off to Bill and Iris which hit another nerve inside them.

There was another small staredown between them where the beast tried to do the same thing again as its gem began to blink with baby pink light, but this time Bill and Iris were having none of it as they rushed forward unphased by the strength or size of the Puffclaw they were about to battle.

The beast could sense an abundance of anger and hatred budding out from their hearts as the invisible Love barrages were having absolutely no effect on them. Bill and Iris ran at similar speed with Bill taking the lead.

As soon as Bill was within range, he jumped forward and squatted with full force on the ground, cracking it up in the process. Once all the energy was compressed to the maximum inside his legs, he jumped upwards while using the Wind ability to give him a boost, lifting him up tens of feet up in the air in almost an instant.

Upon reaching his maximum altitude of approximately 500 feet, Bill began to descend back down toward the ground, descending rapidly straight at the giant Puffclaw who remained far below.

Whilst Bill was performing his great skill, The beast tried to kill Bill right out of the sky by blasting him with the red beam from its gem, but Iris made sure the beast wouldn't be able to focus on him as Iris rushed forward with multiple rings of water that were rotating around her.

Once she got close enough to the Puffclaw's feet, she began converting the rings of water around her into razor-thin and sharp-edged water whips which she used to repeatedly slash the Puffclaw's feet.

Both Iris and Bill were moving so fast and in such irregular patterns that the Puffclaw was having difficulty keeping track of both of them. It screeched in pain as blue blood began to leak out from the hundreds of cuts made on its legs by Iris' water whips.

The Puffclaw tried to stomp on Iris to try and kill her in one go and to stop her from injuring its legs anymore. Even though she had made a hundred or so cuts from the water whips, water wasn't an especially strong offensive ability making it so that all the cuts were shallow and didn't do any severe damage; however, they did exactly what Iris intended them to do and that was to be a distraction.

The pain from the slashed feet was enough for the beast to focus completely on Iris and try to stomp her to death, but she was smart and always remained directly under the giant Puffclaw, the only place where she would be completely safe from its sharp claws.

While Iris was distracting the giant Puffclaw, Bill continued to descend reaching terminal velocity very quickly. In order to accelerate further and build more force, Bill used the Wind's ability to push him down even harder.

He was accelerating more and more and was becoming a literal human bullet as he descended faster and faster. While the giant Puffclaw was bust trying to kill Iris who maintained her position right under its feet and keep landed slashes at it causing more pain and damage.

Bill finally descended low enough so that at this moment he was 20 feet away from the head of the giant Puffclaw. It was at this time that Bill released the mound of sand that he had picked up with his sand ability while concentrating his energy to jump and made it wrap around its fist creating a massive boxing glove with spikes for the knuckles completely out of the sand.

The Puffclaw sensed Bill's presence at the last possible minute and shifted its focus from Iris and back toward Bill; however, this turned out to become a mistake as this gave time for Iris to escape from underneath its body, and when the Puffclaw looked up to see where Bill was, its vision was completely covered a massive sand fist with spikes.

Bill didn't hold back at all as he combined all of his strength with the speed and momentum of the descent as well as the boost given by the Wind ability and his awakened wind mutant gene alongside the power of the sand aura itself.

All concentrated into a... single... powerful... punch.

*SMACK!!!*

A huge sound resounded from the impact that Sand boxing glove made with the giant Puffclaw's head. The impact was so strong that it sent a literal shockwave with a diameter of a couple of meters down to the ground crumbling small rocks while shaking the ground itself.

The immense pressure and force inflicted on the body of the giant beast traveled through the entire body and down to its legs. The legs were already very injured from the continuous slashes that Iris had inflicted and that combined with the pressure from Bill's punch was just too much.

Right in front of everyone's eyes, the joint between the feet and the leg of the beast had collapsed under immense pressure and had dislodged itself completely from its position, severing it from the rest of the body.

The giant Puffclaw screamed in agony that was echoed by all the trees around them. With no feet to stand on, the Puffclaw fell face first onto the ground, with Its legs spewing out gallons of blue blood from its severed feet.

The Puffclaw continued to cry and scream in agony while failing to stand back up which was an impossible task for it at this point. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Bill landed back on the ground right in front of the wailing beast and without a single shred of remorse or mercy in his heart proceeded to summon several extremely sharp stone spikes from the ground right under the Puffclaw's body.

The ground trembled as Bill continued to pour aura into the ground and in the next instant, several stone spikes each about two meters thick erupted from the ground beneath the beast and tore right through its body as it rose up to about 10 feet in height, coming out completely covered in blue blood.

The beast's wailing had finally stopped as the beast was now dead and lying in a pool of its own blood... or so Bill and Iris thought as from the lens of the Analyze skill Mako knew that the beast was still not dead.

Bill finally collapsed onto the ground after confirming that he had successfully been able to kill the beast. Iris who was a bit far back also fell to the ground as she was also exhausted and was relieved to have finally slain that monster. Both of their eyes slowly began to dim and eventually return back to their original color.

Bill and Iris were both pretty exhausted as they had pushed their bodies well past their limits and had used too much energy than they actually had leaving them both in a critical state and in immediate need of sustenance; however, they had an even bigger problem on their hands, one that Mako was quick to identify.

A moment after Bill collapsed to the ground, the beast that he had just slain began to dissolve back into the same black goo that had formed it in the first place. Bill could barely see anything as his whole vision was going crazy, but within that blur, Bill could see the figure of Mako running towards him at top speed.

"BILL! MOVE! IT IS NOT OVER YET!" Mako shouted at the top of his lungs.

[Sprint has been activated]

Mako ran forward at top speed and performed a similar move that Bill had performed earlier and that was to leap onto the ground and start concentrating energy. However, the major difference was that Bill was concentrating energy on his legs so that he could jump higher, while Mako was concentrating all of his fire aura inside his body straight into the ground.

Bill could barely understand what was going on but when he turned around to look at the slain beast, he watched with horror as the beast had dissolved back into the same black goo and that goo was coagulating into individual blobs forming all the original little Puffclaws that had formed this massive beast in the first place.

The blob was quickly separating back into hundreds of individual blobs and would become a nightmare to deal with as they all were quite nimble and strong, but luckily Mako was able to come in just in time as before the blobs could fully separate, Mako was finished pouring all the Fire aura inside the earth.

"Not on my watch," Mako said as he activated the skill.
