Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

1 week later…

"Ancient Pugilist Ability: Giant Fist!"

"Ancient Pugilist Ability: Atomic Smash!"

"Ancient Pugilist Ability: Gravity Pull!"

Boom!

A large part of the forest was destroyed by the shockwaves of the attack.

The energy and aura of the Giant blasted on all cylinders to a ridiculous degree as his opponent was completely suppressed. Even without the attack hitting yet, this human was already feeling crushed by the gravity that followed.

"Ugh…!" He grunted as he coughed blood.

Since a week ago after the Clown Society unveiled the Giant test subject and Clown declared himself King, the psychopaths of the Clown Society started building a new palace in the ashes of the old palace.

Apart from the palace that was in construction, Clown set the Pseudo-Grade B Giant that he created and controlled loose.

Of course, he justified his actions.

"The order of chaos brings stimulation…"

"The order of chaos brings destruction and death which brings evolution".

"Without dying, we can never be reborn".

"Through the ashes of the dead, we'll evolve as a race".

"Test Subject Giant-1 is the trailblazer of humanity, he is the closest to what many calls the Grade B realm. He carries our hopes of breaking our limits".

"Like us humans, Giant-1 also needs stimulus to break his limits and trailblaze the path to the Grade B realm for us, this is why he should not be caged".

"There are dozens of Grade C superhumans in our planet, they should also be engulfed in the chaos, they should serve as more than enough stimuli to push Giant-1 to exceed the confines of the Grade C realm".

With this, Clown justified his actions.

Though a lot of people thought it was bullshit, their opinion did not matter. In the end, it was the one with the power that gets to make all the rules.

During the past week, Giant-1 already hunted and killed 3 Grade C superhumans!

This was unprecedented in the history of the planet.

On this fateful day, Giant-1 was hunting another Grade C superhuman and like expected, this human stood no chance.

Seeing the gigantic fist powered by super Pugilist energy that surged towards him, this rogue Grade C Superhuman became desperate.

"Ahhh…!" He growled as he stared defiantly at the huge and mighty Giant.

He grabbed his battle Spear tighter as he glared at the mighty Fist flying towards him, the next moment, he roared and made his move.

"Special Pugilist Ability: Dragon Soaring through the skies!"

Boom!

"Special Pugilist Ability: Myriad Dragon strike!"

Whoosh!

The first ability from this superhuman was a powerful one-hit ability. With incredible force, it hit the gigantic Giant Fist only to be repelled.

This rogue Grade C Superhuman did not give up though, he gave his all for his last attack as his Spear seemed to turn into the vessel for different dragons.

Unlike the first attack, this attack hit many times!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

After stabbing 21 times in less than a minute, the Giant Fist finally dissipated but that was not the end. The mighty Giant pressed its right palm down, then the next moment, this superhuman felt like he was stuck in a blender.

His innards were lacerated by the extremely destructive force.

After the Atomic Smash ability, this superhuman lost all power to resist then the Gravity Pull finally took effect.

As soon as the Giant made a pulling gesture with his hands, gravity worked against the human as he flew uncontrollably towards the Giant.

Just before the Giant could catch him and get its 1st kill for the week…

Bzzz!

Whoosh!

As soon as a teleportation portal opened, 3 Grade C Superhumans charged out. One of them, a Grade C Fire Elementalist directly attacked the Giant as he spammed large AOE attacks against it.

The other was an Earth Elementalist as he terraformed the terrain to make it hard for the gigantic form of the Giant to go after them.

As for the last, she was the notorious White Flame.

White Flame Eleanor's eyes gleamed as she roused her Water Elementalist powers. The water flowed straight towards the dying Grade C Pugilist, and mid-way, she changed her energy type as the water turned into a bubbling white.

The water gained healing properties.

As soon as they engulfed the Pugilist, he started healing rapidly.

White Flame Eleanor did not stop at this. While she healed the Pugilist, she spread both her hands as a massive energy like a white flame erupted from her.

The next moment, her allies in this battlefield all received substantial bonuses that improved their overall combat power. Despite it now turning into a 4 vs 1 battle, they still stood no chance against the Giant.

After a short battle, Eleanor opened another teleportation portal.

Bzzz!

They escaped.

…

Bzzz!

The White Flame and the other 3 Grade C Superhumans teleported to an underground hideout.

"Cough…, ugh…" The injured Grade C Superhuman groaned in pain.

Despite surviving already due to Eleanor's emergency treatment, the injuries inflicted to his innards by the Giant were lethal. He was lucky to survive, to fully recover, he needed to recover for an extended period of time.

Leaving Eleanor, the other 2 Grade C Superhumans helped him in.

Eleanor took a deep breath and looked around her. Apart from the stairs that led down here, this underground hideout had only 2 chambers and the first chamber held 6 injured Grade C Superhumans, they all nodded at her in greeting.

These 6 were part of the victims of Giant-1 during the past week.

Eleanor nodded back at them before going to the 2nd chamber, there she met figures like Hunter Master Lydia, Core Protector Shanks, and Core Protector Levi.

She looked straight at Shanks. "The attacks of the Giant are becoming more rabid". She continued as she found a random place to sit and rest. "Just today alone, it attacked 2 Grade C Superhumans".

"The Hunter Union has been f*cked over by the chaos". She looked straight at Hunter Master Lydia who didn't have much of a reaction.

"The Mercenary Online organization is barely standing".

"The Summoner and Elementalist Academies have been hit hard, they are the only survivors of the old order. They are the only ones brave enough to resist him and have survived, they are still fighting".

"What are you saying?" Core Protector Shanks looked at her.

"We can't keep on hiding, we can't keep on cowering while millions die".

"I told you to put your revenge aside…"

"THIS IS NOT ABOUT REVENGE!" She exploded ferociously in anger again.

"Can't you see? Look around, our planet is dying while we watch!"

"By the time you make up your mind and conviction to stand up like a man to that cursed brat, there would be no one else left to save".

"Every day, I go out there, I see people dying, this can't continue".

"We need to do something".

"What do you suggest?" Core Protector Shanks calmed down.

"We need to pool our strength together, that's our best chance".

"A lot of Grade C Superhumans are reluctant to test their survivability against that beast, they hate the prospect of feeling human again".

"The Giant reminds them of a painful truth, their mortality and vulnerability".

"We have to make them!" Eleanor sounded desperate.

Core Protector Shanks sighed. "That's the problem, Grade C Superhumans cannot be controlled. Before getting to this level, each one of us were either the best of our generation or among the best, we all have huge egos".

"For decades or even centuries, we saw ourselves below no one".

"We already grew used to working alone since we previously stood at the pinnacle of strength above everyone else, suddenly being asked to change is hard".

"Grade C Superhumans can't change overnight".

Eleanor sighed and slumped her shoulders but the core of her ferocity didn't subside yet, she clenched her fist. "Not all of them will be willing to let down their ego, but some will".

She looked up at Core Protector Shanks again. "Let's meet all of them, let's try to convince them. Even if 90% refuses to drop their ego, the 10% that agrees is enough for us to launch an attack against the Clown Society".

"It's either we bow our heads to terrorism or we save our planet".

"There is nothing in between". Her eyes gleamed ferociously.

This time, Core Protector Shanks no longer opposed her, like the others, he already knew that stopping the Clown Society was now a do or die affair.

As soon as they made the decision, they no longer hesitated.

With Eleanor taking the lead, they started implementing it. The lawful organization leaders, the rogue Grade C superhumans, none was being left behind, they were all needed to make the plan a success.

While the Grade C Superhumans made their moves in the dark, after 1 week of wandering trying to find himself again, Blade finally met Christensen.
