Interdimensional Farming in Another World

80 [Bonus chapter] End of spar



When a rock is heated and cooled rapidly, it will shatter. In nature, this phenomenon is called weathering. Alex was going to simulate it to weaken the thick body of the stone giant. Thermal expansion and contraction was the best way to do it. 

When a stone is heated, the different materials present inside it will expand at different rates. For example, if a stone contains air pockets and water, it will expand before the solid materials inside the stone. This will create pressure inside the stone which leads to tiny fractures on it. 

Now, if the stone is cooled rapidly after that, the different rates at which the material inside the stone shrink will make it even more brittle. And that's exactly what Alex was aiming for. It was the best way for him to get Thee out of his turtle shell. 

For that, Alex used the fire spell on the stone giant. He slowly increased the heat output until the stones became extremely hot. With his small cores working simultaneously, Alex concentrated on heating the entire body of the stone giant. Ten spells working simultaneously were able to heat the core of the stone giant easily.

Even Thee inside the stone giant grimaced in pain. He felt the heat drilling into him. He had to use a large amount of energy to protect his body from the heat. 

Alex and Thee wasted a huge amount of mana for this. And the reason Alex had to heat the entire body was the same reason that he couldn't beat it with physical attacks. The stone giant will heal itself periodically. Before it heals, Alex has to destroy it. 

'The first thing I cooked after coming to this world was a sweet potato. I had to create a stone oven and bake it. And I liked it. But never in my life did I think that I would try to bake a person alive. That too a person from the same tribe. Look how far I have grown as a menace to the society.' Alex thought.

"Sigh!"He sighed while shaking his head. But Alex still didn't stop cooking Thee. 

Even though he had to dodge Thee, Alex constantly heated the stone giant. It took a while for it to be evenly cooked. 

After that, he stopped the fire spells. Almost seventy per cent of his energy reserve has been used up. Another, twenty percentage will be used to cool the stone giant. It was a tricky situation. He had to do something different to take out Thee in an instant.

If Alex failed to grasp the timing before the stone giant fixes itself, Alex would lose the fight. There was no other way for him beat Thee other than taking that gamble. After all, Thee was a higher-tier warrior. He had more energy reserve than Alex.

The moment Alex stopped the fire spell. Thee became cocky. He thought Alex gave up trying to kill him by using a fire spell. He was thrilled to get this chance. So, he dashed forward without realising his stupidity.

"Meru, Know your place. Your tricks won't work on me."

"It already is…" Alex simply stated.

"Fear me, for this shall be your last struggle."

"Yep. Sure it is. After this, you would be pretty easy to beat. I won't have to struggle anymore."

"Aaargh…"

"I don't understand stupid. Speak properly."

The humongous body of Thee almost covered the entire platform while he attacked Alex. 

But before he could land a hit, Five orbs of liquid revolved around Alex before he swiftly pushed them to Thee. With it, A tsunami-like wave of water was sent. Quickly, the mana reserve of Alext fell by ten per cent. 

Before the stone giant could fix itself. The orbs carrying liquified air attached themselves to the chest and legs of the stone giant. It was the ice spell, but Alex was using but for a different purpose. 

The water wave rose up to twenty feet and covered the stone gian, instantly freezing before it had a chance to respond. 

The stone giant was temporarily stopped. But it wasn't the end. 

Among the five orbs, only one was used to freeze the water. The remaining four were stuck between the frozen wave of water and the hot stone giant. 

The moment Alex relinquished his control over the liquified gas, it expanded. The stone giant was too hot. And it was trapped between the frozen water and the hot stone giant. The gas expanded quickly and found a way to escape creating an explosion.

"Boom!" A thunderous sound resounded. The shockwave from the explosion released a layer of dense fog outwards. 

The entire training platform was covered by a dense fog. The water vapor and freezing gasses swirled around hiding everything from view.

Alex with his mana vision peered into the dense fog. Within there, he could see a crumbling stone giant.

The rapid heating and cooling made it brittle. An explosion due to the expanding gas has pushed it out of the sparring platform.

With a caved chest and broken legs, the stone giant lay motionless. 

Suddenly, a hand dug through the chest of the stone giant. It emerged, shattering its concave chest. 

It was the hand of Thee.

There were some blood stains and broken nails on the hand. Other than that, it was perfectly okay.

Within seconds, the hand pushed away the broken pieces above it revealing Thee. He was strained, gasping for air.

And yet, his eyes had a fire. His poisonous gaze finally landed on Alex. Even though he was beaten out of the sparring platform, he was unwilling to give up.

Promptly, he stood up and dashed towards Alex who was on the stage. He still had some fight inside him. Alex was the one who was weakened with all the dodging and spell casting. To recover his image, he needs to destroy Alex. That was the only thought inside his mind.

But before he could step foot inside the platform, a giant ice block slammed into him from the sky. 

"Tuk…" 

Like swatting a fly, Kalina smacked away Thee. Thee fainted instantly. 

Everything happened too quickly for the audience to react. 

"Why did you do it?" Alex asked Kalina while looking at Thee, who was sleeping in a pit made to perfectly fit him.

"He disrespected me?" Kalina replied calmly.

"How?"

"I am the judge of this match. And yet, after failing to beat you. He was trying to use an underhanded method to attack you. He asked for it."

"That's true," Alex said with a smile. What Kalina said was reasonable. She was obviously not using the chance to beat him up for making a move on her.

"Take this." Kalina gave back the golden mushroom to Alex. As promised, she handed it over to the winner.

Although he won against Thee, Alex was not really happy about that. It was worse than the outcome he had expected. Thee's actions went beyond just crazy. Now, he has to monitor him every day to get peace of mind. After all, he doesn't know when that crazy kid would come for revenge.

Thee was a bomb waiting to explode inside the Stone head tribe.

"Poka, Charam. You take Thee to the Mupan. He will fix him up. After that, Come to my house. We can have dinner there. Let's get out of here before someone comes looking. The villagers might get too shocked seeing the carnage and destruction we have caused." Alex spoke. 

His words seem to hold more power than they previously held. Even Poka, the guy that hates Alex, obeyed his words.

After some time, everyone ate dinner at Alex's house. 

Kalina decided to spend the night there and go home the next morning. 

Mupan was busy taking care of the injured Thee. He was excited to know that Thee broke through to become a tier 4 warrior. However, hearing about the entire scenario made him rub his temple. The kids have grown to become a headache. 

Kanal, Poka, and Charam went back to their daily life without Thee. They spent their days training like usual.

Along with Unda, the kids surrounded Alex to ask him for food. Alex compiled by cooking them the best dishes he knew.

Like that, everyone returned to their normal life. Only a few people knew what happened in the training ground. So, it was quickly forgotten. 

After a couple of days. A piece of news greeted Alex. 

Alex was about to begin his training. He was preparing to make more cores inside his body by transforming all his energy. A hundred cores distributed all around his body were his goal.

Yet, before he could begin training. Mupan visited him to give him a piece of awful news. Thee, the only tier 4 warrior ran away from the tribe. He left behind a letter saying that he would return to participate in the Champion's tournament. 

"Sigh!... And." Mupan paused for a moment before speaking. "He said he would beat you publicly before decapitating you. He said your head would be his trophy." Mupan said in a regretful tone.

"Quite vivid and detailed. Should I applaud him for writing a good letter?" Alex was unbothered by the threat. 

"Don't worry. Let me deal with it myself." Alex reassured Mupan.

"Next week, I will leave the tribe. I have already prepared everything for you to sustain yourself. I have something to do for the next few months. I will return occasionally. So, don't worry." Alex stated without giving Mupan a chance to object.
