World's Strongest Became the Game's Weakest Villain

Kalanaar broke into a loud laugh as he saw the approaching humanoid remnants running his way. Their strengths were way beyond what they had expected. If it was just one it would have been fine, but three at once made it rather tough.

The son of the strongest dragonewt, though, was having none of that.

He slapped his hand on his chest and tore off the cloth on top.

"Kala guy, no! It’s better to run and let them pass."

Em shouted but it was useless.

"A dragon warrior does not turn away from battles, miss!" Kalanaar’s white shirt flew off in the wind as his scaly skin and toned muscles revealed themselves. He reached for behind his waist and pulled out a harpoon made from a dragon’s tail, its folded staff fitting almost perfectly above his own tail.

"Little Dryad, I’ll let you join in. You too, handsome human."

"H-handsome!?" Kevin yelped. He closed his eyes and imagined his face at the front of the Times magazine.

’Handsome Human’ would be the title of the seven-page article. Yes, he could get behind that.

"Leave it to me, buddy."

Em clasped her forehead and sighed.

"Fine, fine, if we can’t avoid this then I’ll help too."

It could definitely be avoided, but Emily would be lying if she said she didn’t want to fight either.

"Oh! I am reassured, miss."

Emily reached into her never-ending spatial dimension and brought out a foot-tall speaker, almost like an amplifier for electronic guitars. As soon as she turned some dials around, many small drones rushed out and flew into the skies.

A pair of glasses were left at the bottom, Emily kicked it up and put it on.

As soon as the drones neared the remnants, Emily issued a simple command.

"Go, now."

"ALRIGHT!"

The other three charged ahead at the incoming Outer Gods. They jumped up and off the debris as they closed in on the nine foot tall remnants. The Dryad stopped first and slammed his hands on the ground.

Kevin and Kalanaar passed the dryad by and flanked the giants.

Roots swam through the ground and tightened around the first of the three giants.

"Alright, dragon!" An indigo glow loomed around Kevin’s fists as it connected with Kalanaar. Gravity loosened its hold on the newt as he soared through the skies, swinging his feet ahead.

The remnant at the front swung its fist ahead, but far off from where Kalanaar was, almost as if it hadn’t seen Kalanaar at all.

Floating at the position of impact was one of Emily’s drones. The illusionist’s illusions were hard at work.

"Face the Dragon’s wrath, invader!" Kalanaar spun the harpoon in his hands and stabbed it straight at the remnant’s head. The harpoon left a hole into the head of the monster, followed by a caving of its entire face.

In a go, the remnant fell backward.

"Shit! The others broke out of my illusion!"

The words of the three small drones were too late. The two remnants had already reached Kalanaar.

"DRAGON! JUMP HIGH!"

Gravity could hold people in place, but to go against it was the dragon’s own ability. Kevin lowered it as far as he could, but the dragonewt did not hear his words.

His eyes were stuck, somewhere behind the remnants.

"HEHEHE!"

The remnant swung its fist, and Kalanaar shot away. Clouds of dust rose as his body charged straight into the piles of debris.

At the same time, the remnant that had already collapsed suddenly sat up. It wrapped its hands around the roots holding it in place and its energy flowed into it.

"I-it’s usurping my trees!"

The roots changed hold and rose up from the ground, tearing apart and forming a wood golem.

Kevin clicked his tongue when he saw it. "Dryad you handle the tree thing. Em, how’re your drones holding up?"

The drone floating next to Kevin answered. "It’ll take a bit to bring back the illusions, once they know the trick they don’t fall for it."

"So I’ll have to make them focus on me for you, got it."

Kevin took in a deep breath.

Gravity around him lowered as another tree man was being formed. He pushed off the ground and floated into the skies. The reduced gravity allowed him greater mobility.

The force of his kick was enough to send him propelling forward.

"HIEHI!"

A fist came rushing at him when Kevin only swung his hand to the side.

Gravity around the punch increased ten fold and the monster toppled forward.

"Kev, don’t exhaust yourself!"

"I am alright!" He said, jumping off toward the second one. He got to a higher position and readied himself for a drop kick. Gravity started to increase manifold.

Kevin entered a limbo when the force pulling him up and the one pulling him down equalized above the head of the remnant. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

And then, like a tide rushing into the sea, he came crashing down.

His ankle sunk into the head of the Remnant and tore it into bits, crushing deep inside.

"Kevin, behind you!" He looked back and found a third remnant gunning for him. Kevin swung his hand to change gravity again when blood dripped from his nose.

He winced, too much of his ability had been used up.

His gravity manipulation was off by just a second, a critical crucial second.

The remnant had skipped on attacking with its feet or hands and had come baring its fangs straight at Kevin. Kevin braced himself to be eaten by the remnant as he winced.

But the attack never came.

The remnant had tried to chow down on Kevin, but all that got into its mouth was a giant stone. The remnant lost its balance from the impact as the gravity manipulation kicked in and it fell on its back.

All of them turned back to see the dragonewt standing amidst the rubble with a gigantic grin on his face. In both his hands were giant stones that would weigh hundreds of kilos each.

"This is getting fun!"
