Adamant Spikes were far stronger than ordinary spikes, with much greater advantages in both attack and defense calculations.
It was also thanks to Adamant Spikes, which were more outrageous than shields, that Nergigante had learned to use its wings as shields for defense.
However, while their strength and calculations were absurdly powerful, Adamant Spikes also became difficult to regenerate.
Roar of the Earth at full charge mercilessly blasted into Nergigante's wing. The blow forcibly shoved Nergigante sideways, leaving five distinct drag marks across the ground.
Once all the leyline power in Cheng Tian's arm had been unleashed, a glaringly obvious scorched hole appeared in Nergigante's battered wing!
The wing covered in Adamant Spikes had actually been punched through by Cheng Tian!
A closer look revealed broken spike roots remaining around the punctured section of the wing membrane. Those shattered roots possessed a crystal structure incredibly similar to the "Dragon Crystals" formed in the Elder Dragon's Land.
This indirectly showed that World-Ender Nergigante's Adamant Spikes were also products of highly condensed energy. They were entirely different from its claw-like spikes, which could regenerate at high speed.
When the wing spread open again, Cheng Tian saw clear burnt-through dents in its shoulder as well... but it had obviously not been pierced through, and he could not even see bone.
Cheng Tian estimated that Meowth's Strength had definitely surpassed 100, perhaps even higher than Beiye's.
What was even more terrifying was that after several deep breaths from Nergigante, both the hole in its wing and the crater in its arm visibly began healing!
And it was definitely no illusion that Nergigante's aura had grown somewhat stronger than before.
