Did it even need an explanation anymore? The strongest skill that Alan could use freely? It was the Glacial Meteor.
But even it, with the might it descended with, didn't faze the Minotaur king at all! He simply roared once more, in order to increase his own vigor.
The Minotaur king readied his blade, and his mana ran flowed within it, and his muscles, enhancing his strength several-fold.
He swung once, and a crescent slash was released from his blade that went unperturbed towards the meteor, and even beyond it. Towards Alan, who dodged it by flying to the right. The meteor offered no resistance to stop or even weaken the slash, it was cut in half.
Those halves began to fall away from their intended target...and the stone was ripped apart. He had only delivered one blow, but it was enough to not only cut it in half, but also blow the meteor apart afterward.
But that...was exactly what Alan was hoping for. A confused look appeared on the Minotaur king's eyes as he did not see white anymore, but a smear of purple in the surroundings.
He questioned, as his feet dug deeper into the ground, and he saw another meteor, covered in ice, coming towards him. Alan deployed a gravity field in the Minotaur king's surroundings, with the help of the destroyed meteor. And sent another one barreling down.
The king's feet dug deeper into the ice, and in a fit of rage, he did the same to the second meteor.
And just like that, he increased the burden on him, as well as the range of the gravitational field. Alan sent another meteor, but even as his continued to dig deeper into the ice and shoulder's drooped down, he raised his head, staring at the ball of ice in the sky.
[So...that's the trick.]
The king mouthed, as he put his sword on his back and prepared to catch the meteor, widening his stance. And just like that...the meteor was caught.
The king groaned, even for a monster like him, with his vast strength, it was still a fucking meteor the size of a small mountain.
Alan flew down, encasing his body not in mana, but in aura, to protect himself from his gravitational and also increase his strength and attack power several folds.
He flew down towards the side of the Minotaur king, who had yet to drop the meteor on the ground, and prepared to attack. But the king wasn't helpless, even if he had his weapon on his back
He harrumphed, and dropped the meteor where Alan was, his hands still clinging on to it, to provide greater force. Alan teleported behind him, and struck the armor behind his back.
[Heavenly Sky Spear, Third Technique.]
-Heavenly Sky Redemption-
A crescent marking appeared on his armor, but it didn't go deep. It failed to tear the armor apart, but that did not mean it did no damage. The Minotaur was still hurt. He jumped on top of the meteor, ignoring Alan for a while, and looked at all the floating pieces of rock.
He swung his sword, and the force exerted was enough to send a strong enough wind that crumpled the rock down, to a size so small it couldn't hold mana anymore, and thus... The gravitational field weakened.
It saw a light from the corner of his eye, coming not from the skies or the sun, but from something below. Instinctively, he used his blade to block the 'light'.
It was a dragon breath, which Alan had fired. The breath pushed him back a few steps, as it should because Alan put it all into it, and began to freeze his sword. Small shards of ice still made it through. The shards were sharp, but not enough to damage his skin, which was protected by his armor.
But it wasn't the same for its eyes...after all, How 'tough' could the eyes of a living being be? They were often the softest and weakest, the best spot to target besides the balls, but the latter was only for male creatures.
The shards would still tear his eyes apart, so he closed them, and his eyelids provided a great defense against the onslaught of sharp ice. Alan, using this, teleported above the Minotaur king, and used a skill.
[Frozen field has been activated.]
A snowflake appeared on his fingertips, and disappeared the moment it touched the Minotaur king's head, his horns and crown couldn't stop it.
He felt himself as if another large burden was placed on his body, but it was different from the gravitational field, it was like his muscles weren't working properly, they were frozen!
It overpowered the skill with sheer will, and its own monstrous strength, and roared once more. Alan was sent flying in the air, towards the sky because he was right above the Minotaur.
It taunted, and Alan wiped the saliva off from his face.
"This face is precious you fuck!"
He cursed, wondering if the spit had some bad properties. He didn't want to wake up to have pimples on his face the next day! Despite his anger, he didn't respond to the threat and calmly assessed the situation.
'Frozen field should be slowing him down, as well as gravitational field...and although he isn't injured much... The armor he has is weaker than his skin.'
But that didn't mean it was 'weak'. Alan resolved himself to break the armor first, so he did, in fact...respond to the taunt. But it was different from what the Minotaur king expected. The king did not want to waste his mana in a futile attempt to send attacks in the sky...
But it wasn't the same for the foe it was fighting.
[... What in the mother Terra...?]
The Minotaur king widened his eyes and gulped, as his knees felt weak for the first time, not because of the frozen field and the gravitational field... But because of what he saw.
The entire sky, as far as he could see was filled with magic circles, it muttered in disbelief.
[... What kind of being has this much mana?!]
He braced himself, for an entirely new experience.
