Absolute Cheater - Chapter 519
Capítulo 519: Bionics XXII
Asher’s punch hit the Titan’s knee from the side this time.
A deeper dent formed—but still, the Titan didn’t fall. It only slowed for half a second.
The Titan reacted immediately.
It spun its massive body and swung its arm in a wide arc.
Asher jumped back, but the hammer-head still grazed his ribs.
The impact felt like getting hit by a truck.
He slid across the floor, boots grinding against the metal until he finally stopped near a cracked pillar.
He coughed once.
“Harder than the last one… great.”
The Titan didn’t give him even a second.
It stomped toward him, each step sending a heavy vibration through the hall.
The Knight reappeared suddenly, still damaged but functional. Its armor was cracked, one arm slightly bent, yet it still charged in with its sword raised.
The Titan caught the Knight’s sword again.
But this time, Asher was already moving.
He sprinted in from the side and hammered both fists into the back of the Titan’s elbow joint.
A sharp, heavy sound rang out.
The plating cracked.
The Titan’s arm jerked, grip loosening slightly.
The Knight pulled back and regained its weapon.
Asher didn’t stop.
He punched the same joint again.
Then again.
Cracks spread across the armor.
The Titan finally reacted, pulling its arm back and swinging it toward Asher. He ducked the hammer, rolled forward, and slammed his shoulder into the Titan’s lower back, pushing with all his strength.
The Titan shifted half a step.
Not much—but movement was movement.
“Good,” Asher breathed. “You can be moved.”
The Titan straightened and turned fast, swinging down.
Asher dove aside.
The hammer smashed into the ground again, cracking the floor even deeper.
The Knight came from the opposite direction, stabbing for the already-cracked elbow joint. The sword struck true this time.
Metal split.
The Titan’s arm jerked violently—and the entire forearm dropped to the ground with a loud THUD.
The Titan paused.
Its internal systems whirred loudly, recalibrating.
“Left arm… disabled.”
Asher grinned slightly.
“One down.”
But the Titan didn’t retreat.
It charged even harder.
With only one arm, it moved more aggressively, like the machine had decided speed was the only option left.
It crashed into the Knight and sent it flying again.
Asher used that opening.
He ran up the Titan’s remaining arm, grabbed onto its shoulder plating, and pulled himself up to the head.
The Titan bucked violently, trying to shake him off.
Asher held on.
He slammed his fist into the side of its head—
once, twice, again—
The armor dented deeper with each hit.
The Titan reached up with its remaining arm, trying to grab him.
Asher shifted position, jumping onto the back of its neck.
He grabbed the edges of the head plating and pulled.
Metal bent slowly.
The Titan flailed wildly, stumbling into a wall and smashing part of it.
Asher didn’t stop pulling.
The plating snapped open.
A burst of red light shot out—one of the secondary cores exposed.
Asher didn’t think twice.
He drove his fist straight into the glowing red sphere.
Cracks raced across it instantly.
The Titan screamed in a low mechanical rumble.
Asher pulled his arm back and punched again.
The core shattered.
The Titan staggered violently, one eye going dark.
Its voice glitched.
“C… core… fail—”
Asher jumped off the back as the Titan toppled forward, slamming into the ground and sliding across the floor.
But it wasn’t dead.
Its last two cores were still glowing.
The Titan pushed itself up with its one remaining arm, movements slower but still very dangerous.
Asher landed next to the fallen Knight and helped it up.
The Knight steadied itself.
The Titan looked at them, remaining cores burning brighter.
Asher cracked his knuckles.
“Alright,” he said.
“Round two.”
And the broken giant charged again.
Asher braced himself as the Titan—now missing one arm, sparks leaking from its open head—charged like a raging bull.
The ground shook with every step.
“Still running?” Asher muttered. “Fine. Come here.”
The Titan swung its remaining hammer-arm straight at him.
Asher didn’t dodge this time.
He grabbed the hammer mid-swing.
The force pushed him back several meters, heels grinding trenches into the floor—but he held on.
The Titan tried to push harder.
Asher pushed back.
Their strength collided in a deadlock, metal screeching, sparks snapping around their arms.
The Knight suddenly came in from the right, sword raised high.
It slashed downward, aiming for the Titan’s shoulder joint—the last working arm.
The Titan twisted its body to block.
Asher took advantage.
He pulled the hammer down with all his strength and slammed his knee into the Titan’s wrist joint.
A deep, heavy crack echoed.
The Titan’s voice glitched again.
“Joint… instability… detected…”
Asher didn’t stop.
He stepped in and hammered the same spot with his elbow.
Then again.
The metal gave way.
The Titan’s last arm bent at an unnatural angle—and then tore off completely, dropping with a deafening clang.
Now armless, the Titan staggered back, swaying as its systems tried to adjust.
Asher exhaled once, chest rising and falling.
“Now you’re done.”
But the Titan refused to fall.
Panels across its chest opened.
Mechanical claws unfolded from inside its torso.
Two extended like spears.
Another pair snapped open like cutting blades.
“Asher—!” the Knight moved to shield him—
—but the Titan lunged surprisingly fast for something half-broken.
A spear-arm shot toward Asher’s head.
He ducked under it and grabbed the mechanical limb.
The Titan dragged him across the floor, trying to crush him against the wall, but Asher planted his feet and pulled in the opposite direction.
Metal groaned.
He roared and tore the spear-arm off completely.
Oil and sparks splattered across the floor.
The Titan thrashed, its chest now opening wider, revealing the second core glowing bright red.
Asher’s eyes focused on it instantly.
The weak point.
The Knight struck the Titan’s side, stabbing again and again to disrupt its movements.
Asher sprinted forward.
The Titan tried to stop him with its remaining claws.
