With a ferocity that could shatter mountains, the monstrous fists careened through the air like lethal missiles, threatening to obliterate anything obstructing their path.
The zombies, thirsty for Roy's blood but sluggish and uncoordinated, frantically scampered about in an attempt to evade the devastating assault he had unleashed.
However, their feeble attempts proved futile, as the massive fists descended upon them with a resounding boom.
Boom!
The earth shook violently as the colossal fists made contact with a massive waves of zombies, producing shockwaves that rippled across the forest and reverberated throughout the ruins of Celestia. The sound of the impact was ear-splitting and spine-tingling, causing even the heartless Lich, who had looked away from the battlefield and considered Roy a dead man, to tremble with fear.
The sheer weight and momentum of the fists pulverized the zombies' flesh and bones, leaving them as nothing more than unrecognizable blobs of goo.
Roy hurtled through the air and landed on the forest floor with a resounding thud. The verdant canopy above quivered with the force of his feet impacting against the ground, and the dense undergrowth rustled and swayed in response.
『Ding! Congratulation. You have slain 300 zombies!』
『You gained 0 EXP!』
『The stats of zombies have been extracted and transferred to you!』
『Your stats has increased significantly!』
A notification rang out, congratulating him on his instant victory over 300 zombies.
"Killing zombies is really beneficial!" Roy exclaimed in joy.
Although he had gained no experience points from this one-sided battle, several of his stats had increased significantly, surpassing the 400-point mark. His physical strength, speed, stamina, and endurance had reached the level of a aura grandmaster with only three limiters suppressing their true potential, making him capable of single-handedly taking down a battalion of aura masters using only his fists.
His HP had also reached an outrageous level, rivaling that of chaotic beings of the highest level. Adding his self-regeneration into the mix, he was a bigger monster than most of the chaotic beings serving Chaos!
Roy was confident that even if his head were to be severed from his neck, he would not die due to the substantial amount of HP he possessed and his impressive self-regeneration ability.
'I don't want it to actually happen to me though!'
He didn't want to test it out as losing his head would feel too weird.
Meanwhile, in the ruins of Celestia, the lich watched in awe as the shockwave from the battle reached his location.
Curious to know what had caused such a disturbance, he peered in the direction of the battlefield and was met with a sight that left him speechless.
"He is yet to awaken, yet he can use Fist Force? How can this be?! How could he have comprehend it at such a young age! This is… this is ridiculous!!!!!" the lich exclaimed in disbelief as he stood up.
His initial contempt for Roy was nowhere to be found, replaced instead with a deep sense of apprehension.
The lich was acutely aware that the concept of Force was an ability that only a select few could master.
In fact, those who had managed to do so had all gone on to become Realm Lords, incredibly powerful beings who could manifest their inner worlds and suppress everyone under the heavens!
There were different kinds of Forces, each with their own unique characteristics and abilities, and Fist Force was considered to be a fundamental form of Force, but even comprehending it was enough to place oneself among the ranks of the most skilled and accomplished practitioners.
Furthermore, the road to learning Force was an arduous and challenging one, fraught with danger and adversity.
It was only through facing the harshest realities of the world and overcoming countless obstacles that one could even begin to gain insight into this mysterious and powerful ability, and yet, despite all of this, here was a young man who appeared to be no more than 18 years of age, wielding Fist Force with seemingly effortless ease.
The lich was astonished - he had never before encountered someone who had learned Force at such a young age.
Roy had exceeded the lich's expectations!
"I cannot underestimate this young man," he thought as he observed Roy. "What he has accomplished is nothing short of remarkable. It's not just that he has comprehended Force, but he has also managed to infuse his own unique aura with it. His mastery of Force is truly impressive."
...
Roy was surrounded by an atmosphere saturated with the foul smell of putrefaction and demise as he made his way through the forest. The stench was overpowering, enough to make one gag in disgust, and although he was assaulted by the overwhelming odor, he managed to maintain his composure, exhibiting a remarkable sense of control over his emotions.
He knew that showing any signs of weakness could lead to being looked down upon by his enemies, and so he refused to succumb to the revulsion he felt towards the grotesque remains of the undead that littered his path.
His strong willpower allowed him to navigate through the carnage with ease, without flinching or showing any signs of revulsion.
A few moments later, his deep, black eyes locked onto the hundreds of approaching enemies, glinting with a ferocity that could rival that of a beast. He pressed on, moving towards the hordes of zombies with determined steps.
Roy swung his hands forward, and the two colossal fists raised from the pits behind him and soared through the air, hurtling towards the horde of zombies.
Boom!
A deafning reverbaroing resounded as the fists made contact with the zombies, reducing them to mere pancakes with each mighty blow. The unlucky trees that were caught in the crossfire suffered the same fate.
"Seriously?" Roy's eyes twitched as he saw hundreds of zombies emerging from the earth's depths.
The number of these creatures was more than twice the amount that he had just vanquished!
"How many are there? Oh well, I will just keep on prowling through them. It's a nice way of farming stats." Roy said as he continued to swing his colossal fists, and wave after wave of zombies were decimated. The forest trembled and swayed under the pressure of the impacts, and the air became thick with the stench of death and decay.
『Ding! Congratulations on destroying all the zombies that stood in your way and finding your way out of the Dark Forest! You have gained extra stats』
『Your strength has increased to 450 points!』 『Your agility has increased to 470 points!』
『Your Stamina has increased to 490 points!』
『Your Health has increased significantly!』
Roy's stats came closer to hitting the limit of his sealed potential by the time he was done with the zombies!
It took an entire minute of sprinting at full speed before Roy left the Dark Forest.
Then, he charged towards the ruins of Celestia with reckless abandon.
