CHAPTER 56: VOLCANIC GECKO (4)

Spawned beasts revelled in eating raw, bloody meat. The scent of blood was able to stimulate their innate brutal instincts.

The current Volcanic Gecko was enraged.

The large amount of aphrodisiac had already made it go wild, and now this weak pathetic human had actually injured it. Its head had cracked, and blood was gushing out, so how could it allow this to happen?

With the stimulus of two different things, the Volcanic Gecko had truly become wild.

The lava on its body became as hot as flowing magma, and its ferocious aura caused the audience several hundred meters away to feel pressured. The audience felt extremely uncomfortable as they couldn’t even breathe normally.

Although they felt uncomfortable, they were still extremely excited.

They were already shocked by Maxwell’s Overdrive ability, and unable to fully understand how their hearts were feeling about it. And now that the beast had instantly burned Maxwell alive, the excitement from this show had just multiplied.

"Almost scared me to death! I almost thought that kid was about to win."

"Damn, what sort of martial technique is that kid learning? It’s a little too powerful! Fortunately, that Volcanic Gecko was still holding back, or else we would have lost our money here."

"The Volcanic Gecko is completely enraged since it wouldn’t allow a tiny human to insult its dignity. Just watch, Maxwell isn’t far from death now!"

Once again, there were screams and yells from the spectator stands.

The spectators in the exclusive rooms also felt their hearts rise up to their throats before settling down again.

Sebastian had a proud smile on his face, "No matter how strong you are, you won’t be stronger than a wild Volcanic Gecko. A Volcanic Gecko is capable of releasing magma-like attack. Once this attack touches you even a little bit, you’re pretty much screwed. Even your soul will be devoured by it, hahaha..."

Magma attack was a technique Volcanic Geckos possessed.

A large amount of dark magma can be sprayed out with an endless devouring power. With any slight contact, the affected area would expand and corrode.

Back then within Eden City, the Volcanic Gecko had relied on this technique to go on its killing spree. Out of several hundred thousand citizens, two-thirds of them perished from the magma attack.

"Unfair, this is so unfair. Why isn’t the Conglomerate putting a stop to this unfairness?"

"Austin, is there any way we can help him?"

Malachi was extremely anxious and worried as he watched the magma rolling off the Volcanic Gecko’s body.

Austin shook his head as he sighed, "There’s nothing we can do, everything is up to him."

In another area.

Lena smiled in an arrogant and conceited manner. Seeing the injured Maxwell in the arena, she couldn’t help but start laughing out loud. "You damn trash, let’s see if you can survive this day or not."

---

The grooves in the scales of the Volcanic Gecko started roiling about as dark magma started oozing out. This was the prelude to its magma attack technique.

The eyes of the Volcanic Gecko became dull as it glared coldly at Maxwell not too far away. Its eyes seemed to be filled with endless contempt as if it was saying to Maxwell. "Weak human, I don’t have time to play with you!"

"Thud!"

The Volcanic Gecko took a single step, and steam started gushing out from beneath its foot. The water in the soil had immediately evaporated leaving behind a red footprint that started burning.

"Thud!"

Another step and the battle arena started shaking.

The hot aura started spreading into the atmosphere and the temperature was immediately increased by over ten degrees. The audience all started sweating from this sudden change.

"Thud..."

The Volcanic Gecko began to accelerate!

Its speed was becoming faster while the magma from its body started roiling about with higher intensity. Bursts of black flames had now started to spray out from its body.

Not too far away, Maxwell was standing there with his eyes closed.

A system notification sounded off in his mind.

"Crackle!"

"Level Up: Yes/No?"

"Yes!"

"Crackle!"

"One hundred thousand XP have been deducted. Divine Technique: Overdrive has been levelled up and is currently at level 2. You can now release the power of four times the attributes!"

Level 1 Overdrive was double the attributes, while Level 2 Overdrive was four times the attributes. The power was basically squared two.

Martial Technique: Overdrive

Type: Divine Technique

Level: 2

Consumption: 5000 mana

"I only raised it by a single level and the consumption went up over ten times?" Complained Maxwell. It was also at this time that he loudly roared: "Constantine, how long are you planning on sleeping there for?"

"Sleep?"

"Didn’t he faint?"

"Maxwell must have been frightened to the point of going insane, so he’s blabbing nonsense."

Constantine, who was lying on the ground, suddenly got up. His whole body was covered in dirt as he scratched his head and grinned foolishly: "Boss, this one wants to rest a little bit longer."

"Let’s do this again."

"This time, I’m going to beat it into meat paste!" Maxwell roared out before stomping down and hurtling towards the Volcanic Gecko.

Around the same time, Constantine’s eyes widened as his arms bulged out once again. Surprisingly, traces of lightning could be seen on his palms. Those traces of fire gradually thickened and eventually covered his hands and became something similar to a pair of silk gloves.

This was the power of a fire attributed beast core!

The power of the Raging Fire Bull exploded forth.

Constantine directly grabbed onto the Volcanic Gecko’s tail, completely ignoring the bubbling magma. "You damn beast!"

The flames of rage shot out of the Volcanic Gecko as it turned its head about to bite a chunk out of Constantine.

Maxwell leapt up into the air, his hands clasping onto each other like a battle axe. He was using the same move he had previously used again.

The moment before slamming down, Maxwell activated: "Level 1 Overdrive!"

A powerful force exploded forth.

Ripples of powerful energy were visible to the naked eye. Before the ripples of energy light ended, he once again activated: "Level 2 Overdrive!"

The sky darkened as a tearing sound seemed to burst forth from the unknown void. Visible lines of powerful energy had now wrapped around Maxwell’s body. His body turned red as if every inch of his skin had been scalded by fire.

"Holy crap!"

Maxwell could clearly feel the qualitative changes in his power. The feeling he was currently experiencing was too damn awesome.

How can it not be powerful when the skill consumes 5000 mana?

This is practically powerful to the point beyond words!

"What the hell? He’s using that same move again, he’s definitely gone insane."

"That power, oh my god. It seems to have increased several times..."

Everyone stopped breathing as they watched Maxwell’s actions.

The Volcanic Gecko lifted its head up so that almost half its body was upright. Its height had now reached at least three meters. It opened up its mouth and directly sprayed out a jet of thick black magma at Maxwell.

Magma Attack!

The Volcanic Gecko most powerful form of attack!

Maxwell’s eyes changed as a trace of a smile coldly formed on his lips. He had complete confidence in his level 2 Overdrive as he coldly roared out: "Die for me!"

His pair of fists slammed down.

"Dragon Fire Palm Attack!"

Maxwell twisted his body to avoid the stream of magma before his left and right fists separated like a bow shape. His fists slammed down once again right onto the Volcanic Gecko’s head.

The Volcanic Gecko’s head was forcefully slammed down as the rest of his body followed suit.

Without giving it a chance to rise back up, Maxwell laughed: "Hahaha..."

"Bam!"

Another punch slammed out.

"Bam..."

Each punch was followed by a loud sound. The power of each punch shook the heavens and the sound of each punch shook the earth. Over ten thousand people in the spectator stands were trembling and dumbfounded in their seats. Maxwell’s punches physically landed on the Volcanic Gecko’s body but also mentally landed on the audience’s body. Every one of them had shut their mouths unable to say a thing. It was like their own faces were beaten and swollen to the point that they could barely endure anymore!

His pair of fists stored up more power as he then heavily slammed down.

"Crackle!"
