The Ironhorn Tyrant roared again, its massive body shaking the entire valley
Dust rose into the air as its iron-hard hooves crushed the earth beneath it
Kael stood several meters away, his breathing steady but his muscles tense. Blue Origin Energy flickered faintly around his arms
"This thing is on another level…"
The tyrant lowered its horned head
Then it charged
The ground exploded under its feet as the massive beast rushed forward like a moving mountain
Kael reacted instantly
"Origin Rush!"
Energy surged into his legs
His body blurred sideways just as the tyrant's horns smashed into the ground where he had been standing
CRAAASH!
Rocks shattered
Chunks of earth flew everywhere
Kael didn't waste the opportunity
He leaped forward and focused all his strength into one strike
"Origin Strike!"
His glowing fist slammed into the creature's neck
BOOM!
The impact sent a shockwave through the valley
But the tyrant barely staggered
Kael's eyes widened
"So tough!"
The beast swung its massive tail
WHOOOSH!
Kael jumped back just in time as the tail smashed into a tree, snapping the trunk like a twig
The tyrant turned again
Its golden eyes burned with fury
This tiny human had dared to hurt it
The beast roared and attacked again, faster this time
Kael felt the pressure
Even with Origin Rush, the creature's strength was terrifying
He dodged one horn strike
Then another
The tyrant slammed its body forward, forcing Kael to retreat across the valley floor
Kael gritted his teeth
"If I keep fighting like this… I'll lose."
He needed something more
Something stronger
Kael closed his eyes for a split second
Inside his body, the Origin Energy surged like a storm
"Focus…"
The energy condensed inside his arm
Denser
Sharper
More violent than before
When Kael opened his eyes again, they glowed faintly blue
The tyrant charged once more
But this time
Kael didn't dodge
He ran forward
The distance closed instantly
The tyrant lowered its horns to impale him
Kael stepped to the side at the last possible moment
Then struck
"ORIGIN STRIKE!"
CRACK!
A loud bone-breaking sound echoed across the valley
The tyrant screamed
Kael's punch had shattered part of its horn
The beast staggered backward in shock
Kael didn't stop
He attacked again
And again
Each strike infused with Origin Energy
The tyrant's massive body began to weaken
Finally
With one last powerful blow
Kael slammed his fist into the creature's skull
BOOOOM!
The Ironhorn Tyrant collapsed onto the ground
The valley fell silent
Kael stood there breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his face
Then the system appeared
Enemy Defeated

Experience +450
Energy exploded inside Kael's body

Kael dropped to one knee
The power surging through him was overwhelming
He had reached the Peak of the Mortal Body Realm
But the system wasn't finished yet
Another message appeared

Kael stared at the screen in shock
His journey had only just begun
But already
He had reached a level that ordinary villagers could never imagine.
