The ground began to vibrate with intermittent thumps as the hooves of this monster struck the ground. It is galloping straight for Soverick and it is knocking everything in its way aside including the trees. Trees are being tossed as it waved its head and smashed them aside. Sometimes, it will just collide with a tree and run it down.
These trees aren't weak. Each one is more than 10 meters thick at the base. There are even some that are 30 meters thick. These trees are thicker than the monster is tall and yet this monster is just plowing through them as if they are twigs and not giant tree trunks. Even the ground itself is suffering from the passage of the monster. Its hooves dig into the ground and upend a large amount of soil as it galloped.
He whistled appreciatively at the show of strength. His eyes lit up as he muttered, "I see that the world spirit has picked up a nice opponent for me. Let me prepare a welcoming gift."
He has gotten the attention of the world spirit so he should expect a challenge. He is also going towards the mountain. He is bound to face worthy opposition on his path. The guidelines say that the monsters that one faces will have a minimum chance of 50% and a maximum chance of 70% of killing you. That's just for a normal situation within the survival challenge. The probability becomes higher the closer you get to the mountain. He can't underestimate any monster in either case. But this one requires extra precaution from him.
He looked around and grabbed a hold of the first thing that looks very heavy. He dug his fingers into the trunk of a tree. Then he extended his control of momentum onto the tree by using his divine sense. A small film of momentum similar to the one shielding his body wrapped around the entire tree. It will allow him to apply force on the tree as a whole and from every direction instead of just the trunk. Then he heaved as he pulled up the tree.
His tiny figure of more than 2 meters attached to the tree exerted enough strength that a tree almost 300 meters tall and 17 meters thick at the base was being uprooted. The problem with lifting the tree isn't the weight of the tree itself, it is the anchoring of the tree to the ground by the roots that he has to overcome. A tree that tall will have a wide network of roots hundreds of meters beneath the ground. And yet, he overcame it. He pulled and the tree was raised.
The tree didn't rise without commotion. The earth cracked and was overturned as the roots were ripped out from it. The ground was unwilling but it had to give up on its intimate bond with the roots of the tree. The roots that refused to leave snapped and we're left behind.
Soverick rose far above the tree line with the tree in his hands. The angry ravens attacked him for coming to their domain. They surrounded him and tried to reach him but he waved the tree around once. He swatted at them with the tree and every Raven that came in contact with it exploded. That taught them to stay away from him right now. So they cawed at him while keeping their distance.
He smirked at the Ravens and made fun of them. "So you too can be intimidated. I didn't know. I would have done this had I known. Too bad that I don't have your time right now."
eαglesnovel`c,om He was able to see his new opponent from his position. It looks like a cross between a giant armored rhino and a giant porcupine. This monster is the armored spiked rhino. It has the base of a rhino with armor plates over its body but the sharp horns on its head are also present on other parts of its body in the form of spikes. It is not an easy opponent to fight because while it is slow, it packs a lot of power within its 20 meters tall body.
Soverick created two blades of momentum that cut off the root and the crown of the tree thus creating a very large club. Wooden weapons are so ancient. They are obsolete weapon wise but they can be pretty deadly if they are as big as what he is carrying. A club the size he is carrying has both the hurt and fear factor. It is a scary sight to watch a tree fall on you. That's what Soverick did. He wielded his makeshift club and struck it down on his enemy.
He had to adjust it first so that the thick base will hit the monster. The tree came down on the armored spiked rhino with the force of a falling mountain. The monster was caught off guard. It hadn't seen Soverick so it didn't see the attack coming. The tree sent it flying. All four of its feet were lifted off the ground as it was thrown back. It crashed into another tree with its back and its spike dug into the tree trunk trapping it.
It roared its indignation and frustration. "Rarwwww."
The forest echoed with its shout. It had heard the commotion coming from Soverick's direction as he uprooted the tree but it thought nothing of it. Even now it thinks the tree fell on it. It may have smashed into it with more force than normal but it is also not normal for someone to swing a tree.
Soverick had to hold the tree club tightly lest it flies away from his hands because of that hit. Swinging it and hitting the armored rhino with it almost made him lose the tree club. It didn't take much time since he can control momentum. He got the tree club under control easily and prepared for another hit.
