I Can Elbow You All Day

Although the Rock Giant was now battered all over, it still possessed formidable strength.

The moment Sparta flew out of its pierced chest, he was slapped away by a palm several times his size.

The Rock Giant rose once more from the surface of the natural satellite.

Sparta dug his left hand into the ground to brake, carving a ten-thousand-meter trail of claw marks before finally stopping.

His broken right arm hung limply as he hovered in midair, while his left hand clenched tightly at his side.

"Roar—!!"

The Rock Giant roared and charged forward, swinging its damaged stone arms.

Sparta raised his lone arm above his head. The scenery behind him blurred into indistinct afterimages as he charged head-on at the Rock Giant.

The ground beneath him cracked under the wind pressure of his high-speed flight. Stones were ground into powder, while dirt and dust rolled into a curtain behind his feet.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

Sparta tore through the fierce wind, bending his lone arm to gather strength as he roared.

The next second, the two forces collided, producing a soundless shockwave in the vacuum of space.

The ground beneath the Rock Giant's feet instantly cracked and collapsed.

As the view pulled back, the shockwave swept across the satellite's surface, creating a visible ring of collapsed terrain.

The entire planet shook violently.

Both figures were sent flying at the same time by each other's power.

Sparta spat blood as his body bent like a bow and he was hurled back tens of thousands of meters. His back smashed through several mountain peaks, and only after collapsing an entire mountain range did he barely come to a stop.

Falling rubble completely buried him. Chaotic dust and haze shrouded the area, turning it into a region impossible to see through or explore.

The Rock Giant was likewise blasted backward by the recoil. Its enormous body collapsed several mountains before finally ending half-reclined atop a mountain that had cracked apart by half.

Its rocky body was covered in cracks, and its right arm had shattered into countless stones, but its three glowing red stone crystals had yet to go dark.

Boom—!

Suddenly, the ruins burying Sparta exploded.

A dark figure burst through the haze and flew into the sky, his hunched body holding one fist clenched.

Blood flowing from his forehead covered his entire face, ran down his neck, and dyed half his upper body red.

"I can keep fighting you all day!"

Sparta narrowed his swollen eyes, his super vision piercing through the blood and settling dust to lock onto the distant Rock Giant.

The half-reclined Rock Giant steadied itself on the ground again, grabbed a boulder dozens of meters wide beside it, and hurled it toward Sparta.

The boulder tore through the void, crossing tens of thousands of meters in mere seconds.

Rather than retreat, Sparta charged forward and shattered the incoming boulder into countless fragments with a hook.

The fragments howled past his sides. Only a few struck him, and they did little harm.

"You're pretty good at throwing things, huh?"

Sparta descended from midair and flew straight toward a mountain range formed by several mountains.

He looked left, then right, and found the mountain before him particularly pleasing.

Sparta thrust his lone arm violently into the mountain. His muscles bulged as he unleashed terrifying brute force.

Cracks appeared in the foundation of the entire mountain range amid the tremors, and it gradually began to separate.

The Rock Giant seemed to sense his intentions. Its remaining three stone crystals emitted dazzling red light as it dragged its damaged body forward in great strides.

"Try this!!"

Sparta let out a furious roar and lifted his lone arm.

He forcibly tore a thousand-meter mountain from the ground.

Broken layers of rock and rubble tumbled down, while dust and smoke blotted out the sky. It was no different from the end of the world.

Using his shoulder as a fulcrum, Sparta raised the mountain, stretching several hundred meters long, above his head.

"Hahahaha, the big delivery is here!!!"

Laughing wildly, he charged through the air, swinging his arm and the entire mountain at the Rock Giant.

The red light of the Rock Giant's three stone crystals flared. It actually stopped mid-charge and raised both arms before itself, attempting to block the attack.

The mountain, a thousand meters tall and several hundred meters long, swept out a sky-covering arc in Sparta's hand.

When the mountain collided with the Rock Giant, fine cracks first spread from the point of impact. Then the entire mountain exploded into hundreds of millions of rock fragments of varying sizes.

It was blasted away, its enormous body collapsing to the ground. Its already damaged right arm completely broke off at that moment.

With a bang, it fell to the ground and smashed out a deep crater.

The Rock Giant hammered its remaining left fist into the ground, trying to prop up its battered body.

But how could Sparta possibly let it have its way? He closed in with thunderous speed and slammed a wide hook into the Rock Giant's face.

Before it could rise, the Rock Giant was sent flying once again, landing on the surface and rolling several times in a daze.

It had only just struggled to raise its upper body while lying prone when Sparta's afterimage-fast body appeared beside it once more.

The second attack followed immediately.

Before it could stand, the half-prone Rock Giant was sent flying again by another punch.

Its massive body rolled and crashed across the ground, carving a trench thousands of meters long. The protruding hills and rock layers along the way were crushed into powder.

Before the Rock Giant had even stopped rolling, Sparta had already appeared where it would land, his third punch long prepared and ready to fall.

The Rock Giant was struck back along its original path, bouncing across the surface of the natural satellite like a ball.

Sparta shot into the sky, flying more than ten thousand meters high. His right foot stepped on empty space as flames gathered beneath it, sonic booms surrounding him while he dived from above.

The Rock Giant climbed up from the ground. Its three cracked stone crystals flickered frantically as it raised its remaining left arm and leaped into the air, attempting to withstand this ultimate strike head-on.

Sparta's dive turned into a crimson meteor, colliding midair with the Rock Giant's raised left fist.

The vacuum was silent, but the shockwave tore apart the asteroid's surface.

His right leg broke at the instant of contact, blood pouring from the severed end.

Meanwhile, the Rock Giant's left arm shattered inch by inch. In only one second, cracks spread from its fist to its shoulder, consuming the entire arm.

Sparta maintained his flying-kick posture as he pierced through the remains of its shattered left shoulder.

He rolled through the rubble and landed. The bone of his broken right leg pierced through skin and muscle, fully exposed to the vacuum.

Sparta did not pause for even a moment, using his one leg to propel himself away into the distance.

Several seconds later, the Rock Giant, having lost both arms, fell from the sky and blasted the dust on the ground a thousand meters into the air.

Sparta hovered in midair, panting heavily as blood surged from his throat with every breath.

His gaze remained fixed on the Rock Giant's broken body within the dust.

Under his gaze, the giant's sole remaining stone crystal flickered on and off like a faulty lightbulb.

Its body, supported only by its remaining legs, slowly writhed. With only a quarter of its head pressed against the ground, it relied on its legs to struggle back to its feet.

"You motherfucker..."

Sparta spat out a bloodied tooth that had fallen loose, his swollen eyes full of disbelieving shock.

This thing was truly hard to kill. With less than half its head left, it could actually stand back up again.

The Rock Giant's remaining stone crystal stopped flickering and shone brightly once more as it raised its head to stare at him.
