The Alpha Sky Titan's roar was not just a sound; it was a physical force. It slammed into Ryan like a solid wall, making the air in his lungs vibrate and his bones ache. The entire floating island shook as if it were a leaf in a hurricane.
Ryan didn't waste a second. He knew his simple knife wouldn't do much against a beast that used lightning as a blanket. This was not a fight he could win with strength. He had to win it with his brain.
The Titan moved with a speed that was terrifying for something so huge. It opened its massive beak, and a ball of crackling, blindingly bright lightning formed inside. It was like a miniature sun. With another roar, it blasted the lightning ball straight at Ryan.
Ryan's mind went into overdrive. He pushed off the ground, his Boots of Alacrity giving him a burst of speed that felt like a rocket was strapped to his back.
