The Ultimate Skill System: Absorb, Upgrade, Create, Transfer-Chapter 15 - : Raccolossus

Keiran soared through the sky, feeling the cool wind rush past him as he removed his tracksuit.

He carefully folded the fabric and tucked it away in a hidden crevice within a rocky hill.

This wasn't just a matter of convenience—it was a precaution. A battle at this scale would bring destruction, and he didn't want his clothes caught in the chaos.

Now free from unnecessary weight, Keiran flexed his body, feeling his muscles loosen. His flaming wings stretched out, flickering in the daylight like twin infernos.

Heat radiated from them, distorting the air around him. As he ascended higher, his gaze locked onto his target—the Raccolossus.

The Raccolossus was a beast of sheer power, a creature that embodied raw physical strength. Its body was covered in thick skin, resembling a living mountain of muscle. Each step it took left deep craters in the earth, and its massive hands, each larger than a grown man, clutched a fallen tree like a club.

As Keiran's shadow moved across the ground, the Raccolossus noticed him. Its glowing eyes followed his movements with intense focus. It wasn't just a mindless brute—it could sense danger.

Then, without warning, the Raccolossus lunged.

The sheer speed of its leap caught Keiran off guard. The beast propelled itself into the air with such force that the ground beneath it shattered, sending dirt and debris flying in all directions.

Keiran barely managed to avoid the attack, twisting his body mid-air to dodge. The Raccolossus, now suspended in the sky, hurled its tree-club at him with terrifying speed.

The massive log spun like a giant spear, its rough bark whistling through the wind as it shot toward him.

Keiran acted quickly, spinning in the air to avoid the incoming projectile. The tree barely missed him, passing by so close that he could feel the wind pressure against his skin. But there was no time to breathe.

From the ground below, the Raccolossus landed with an explosive impact, shaking the earth violently. The shockwave sent rocks and dust flying outward, creating a cloud of debris. And from within that smoke, multiple trees suddenly shot out like missiles.

Keiran's eyes sharpened. It had used its immense strength to launch the trees at him while still hidden in the dust cloud.

He maneuvered expertly, dodging the incoming barrage. But the monster wasn't stopping—more trees kept flying toward him, relentless and precise.

Realizing he needed a more decisive response, Keiran unleashed Flame Gust.

A wave of scorching wind surged from his wings, cutting through the air and blasting toward the Raccolossus. The attack should have seared its skin, but the beast crossed its thick, muscular arms in front of its body, absorbing the brunt of the flames.

When the firestorm cleared, Keiran saw the result. The Raccolossus was unharmed.

Its durability was beyond anything he had faced before.

The beast let out a guttural snarl before slamming its feet into the ground. The force created another shockwave, launching even more trees into the air toward Keiran.

Realizing that dodging forever wasn't a solution, Keiran ascended higher into the sky, flames intensifying around him as he charged fire energy into his body.

Then, he dove.

Like a meteor, he hurtled downward, his body surrounded by a blazing aura. The sheer heat from his descent burned away the incoming trees before they could even reach him.

As he neared the ground, he could see the Raccolossus's mana—a massive reservoir of energy swirling within its core. It was like a beacon, guiding his strike.

Keiran's skin hardened into Stone Skin, fortifying his body just before impact.

The moment he crashed into the ground, an explosion of searing flames erupted outward, engulfing everything in its radius. The earth cracked beneath him, and all nearby trees turned to ash.

The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield. The air itself wavered from the sheer heat.

And yet, as the smoke cleared, Keiran's eyes narrowed.

The Raccolossus was still standing.

It hadn't even sustained major injuries.

The monster's eyes glowed a deep, ominous red, and its muscles swelled even larger, as if its body was adapting to the battle.

Then, it charged.

The Raccolossus moved like a force of nature, tearing through the land with frightening speed. Trees were crushed beneath its feet, boulders shattered into dust. It wasn't just an attack—it was devastation in motion.

Keiran took a deep breath and shifted forms.

His body became a Giant Water Slime, a translucent, gelatinous creature that wobbled slightly upon landing. His flaming wings disappeared, replaced by a semi-liquid form that absorbed impact with ease.

The Raccolossus, mid-charge, swung its powerful claws at him, expecting to land a decisive blow.

Instead, its attacks passed through his gelatinous body, causing no harm.

The beast skidded to a stop, staring in shock.

Keiran's voice resonated from within his slime form. "This form is a bad matchup for you."

Frustrated, the Raccolossus roared and launched a relentless flurry of strikes. Each impact created shockwaves, shaking the battlefield.

A normal Giant Water Slime would have been obliterated by such power. But Keiran was different.

Using Mystic Convergence, he absorbed the monster's immense mana. His wounds healed almost instantly, the energy replenishing him faster than the Raccolossus could harm him.

"As long as the level difference isn't too high," Keiran thought, "I'll always be stronger in a one-on-one fight."

It was time to finish this.

He used Aqua Devour, forming a powerful vortex inside his mouth. The swirling water pulled the Raccolossus toward him.

The massive beast struggled, its limbs thrashing against the current, but the pull was too strong. Its legs, then its torso, were completely submerged inside Keiran's watery form.

The Raccolossus was drowning.

It roared in defiance, its body convulsing as it fought desperately to escape.

Keiran tightened his hold, expanding his form to engulf it entirely. The monster had no way out.

Or so he thought.

In a final act of desperation, the Raccolossus released a deafening roar. The sound wasn't just noise—it carried a shockwave so powerful that it ruptured Keiran's body, sending chunks of water flying in all directions.

The Raccolossus burst free, leaping high into the air, its body drenched but undefeated.

Keiran's scattered slime reformed within seconds, his body pulling itself back together. But he could already sense it—the Raccolossus was diving toward him again.

Shifting back into human form, Keiran unfurled his flaming wings and shot into the sky. The monster landed with an earth-shattering impact, sending another shockwave outward.

Hovering high above, Keiran observed the battlefield below. The forest was in ruins, the ground torn apart. The Raccolossus, despite all his attacks, remained standing.

Yet, his face remained calm.

"It became a little harder than I thought."
