Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent! - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Stupid or smart?
Mira could feel the immense power thrumming through her body as her sword penetrated the Galephant’s hide.

The beast let out a deafening roar, its body shuddering from the pain, but she didn’t let up.

With a sharp twist of her wrist, she drove the blade even deeper.

The Galephant thrashed violently, its trunk whipping around in an attempt to dislodge her, but Mira was too fast, too precise.

She moved with such grace that the Galephant couldn’t even touch her.

Mira landed on the ground though, as the wild thrashing from the Galephant was too much for her to keep holding on.

But now that she was on the ground, she had to act quickly.

Her strength may have been increased by three times her normal values, but that didn’t mean she was invincible.

Without hesitation, she took her sword and slammed it into a tree, penetrating through it easily.

She started climbing as she kept an eye on the Galephant, which was heading directly for her, running wild between the trees.

It was charging right at the tree Mira was climbing.

THUNK

It slammed trunk first into the tree, making it shake excessively.

The impact nearly made Mira lose her grip on her sword, but she managed to hang on by clamping her fist down on it even harder and avoiding falling directly into the grasp of the clearly enraged Galephant.

Mira stabilised herself, finding a branch to keep her balance on without having to rely on using her weapon as the only thing keeping her up.

The Galephant, in its enraged state, kept slamming its head into the tree while loudly screeching with its trunk.

‘Shit, this isn’t good…’

But while Mira was making herself comfortable, waiting for the Galephant to tire itself out or even better, injure itself from hitting its head on the tree so much, the tree started to shake more and more violently.

The Galephant was stupid, without a doubt, considering it took to hurting itself by attacking the tree with its head, rather than taking a more methodical approach.

But its strength seemed to be in its favour, as the tree started to slowly become more and more unstable as the seconds ticked by and with each knock on the tree, it started to slant.

‘If this keeps up, it’ll completely bring the entire tree down before I can do anything!’

Mira was short on options, and decided to do something very bold.

Using the branch she was standing on as a springboard, she jumped directly from the tree, with the tip of her sword pointing down.

She had timed her exit from the tree perfectly, as the Galephant had just gone in for another charge.

Considering Mira’s good timing, the Galephant would arrive right before the tree at the same moment she would near the ground.

Slam!

Just as expected, Mira’s fall came to a stop when her feet met that of the Galephant’s head, causing it to slam into the ground below, sending an intense shock to the Galephant’s brain unlike what it had been giving itself by slamming into the tree itself.

But that was the least of its worries.

Mira’s sword, carried by the momentum of her fall, had penetrated the Galephant’s skull, just narrowly missing its brain by mere millimetres.

The Galephant was immensely lucky to have not been killed then and there, but for Mira, she was terribly unlucky.

She had just barely missed the perfect opportunity to take the Galephant out, and now she had to face its wrath.

And there was no tree for her to climb anymore.

With a fast swipe of its head, it smashed its tusks into Mira sending her flying back into the tree with a loud thud.

Still leaving her sword stuck in the back of its skull.

Mira had barely felt the stars around her dissipate before the Galephant came charging in once again.

This time, it had some strange green particles of energy converging in between its tusks, at the tip of its trunk.

‘Shit!’

Mira didn’t recognise what kind of attack it was preparing, but she knew one thing for sure.

That it would kill her if she let it hit!

‘That was the wind element!’

Mira had completely ignored whether the beast would even have something like a talent or an ability like this of its own, as from the start of the fight up until that point, she had been in control.

Much like the Galephant that had attacked Alex and the caravan when he first entered the Primordial Expanse, this one was about to launch a devastating attack.

However, there was one upside that Mira had realised quickly.

Although it was of the wind element, it seemed that the attack it was creating wasn’t ranged.

The wind energy was converging at the tip of its trunk, but it sat there the whole time, with no intention of moving.

‘So that’s why it’s charging at me!’

But Mira didn’t have time to dodge regardless.

She had only just regained her bearings from the previous attack that had launched her into the tree.

‘Shit, do I really have to use it!?’

And she was forced to do something she was very hesitant about, something that she would rather not use unless it was an emergency.

And this situation seemed like an emergency.

Poof!

Right as the Galephant’s trunk, covered in Wind energy by this point, made contact with the tree Mira was sat in front, a huge explosion sent a powerful shockwave into the surroundings.

But the Galephant’s enraged eyes were filled with confusion the split second before it hit the tree.

Because Mira had completely disappeared.

She was gone, just like that.

Unbeknownst to it, Mira had entered the Void dimension, making full use of her most powerful talent.

It was her only means of escaping that terrifying attack the Galephant had just launched at her.

And when she saw the aftermath it had caused with that shockwave sending all of the nearby trees uprooted and out of the ground in a 50 metre radius, she knew she made the right decision.
