Chapter 78: Which one is scarier now?
1091 Words
I notices that the Haunted Terror right now is mad and also nervous despite being a mechanical being... I guess it notices what my gears grade are... Not to mention, the way I just block all of its attack earlier, it's nothing but pure skill combined with the game skill. I also have the confident to speak some trash.
Due to that combination of things, the Haunted Terror are getting terrorized by my presence... I immediately use my Blood Mark to keep an extra eye out as well as a last hit damage when my damage is not enough...
"Well then. As I said before, please don't die too fast on me!"
I dashed straight toward the head of the Haunted Terror. It screeches at me. Giving me a 'Terrorized' status effect which slows my speed by 10%.
Well, that's not good... But who the f**k cares?
"Godspeed!"
With Godspeed, 10% slow is nothing! My speed at this point is pretty similar of constantly using Phantom Flicker. No one can really see me even if they tried. Unless they have very good eye sight.
Apparently, the Haunted Terror did... It manages to see where my movement is going. The proof of that is when I tried to s***h its face in with my King's Fang... The face disappear, or should I say, change place.
It's now right behind me, and in front of me is the darkness...
I see, so it can move wherever the darkness resides huh. Maybe I shouldn't think of the darkness as the darkness. The darkness that's surrounding me is a part of the Haunting Terror... Meaning, its domain...
That's very annoying to deal with...
I should've attacked it when it's still tied with Dark Thorn.
"Well, I Guess if I didn't get serious like, right now... I would break my own word of letting you live for only three more minutes huh."
Due to me thinking a bit too much, a minute has passed. The Haunting Terror is grinning like crazy when it notices that I cannot do anything when it runs all around the place...
It's annoying now... But so be it... It's not like it can go against my speed anyway...
"Well then, let's see if you can actually survive from now on. Dark Thorn."
I summon my Dark Thorn and hold it along my King's Fang... I use Godspeed with Phantom Flicker to do some unthinkable movement. I appear right in front of the darkness where the head used to be, I immediately throw the kunai straight down toward where the face is now located...
As the kunai is falling down, the Haunted Terror is disappearing into the darkness... That blind spot, I immediately use to Phantom Flicker in an instant to grab the Kunai before it hits the ground... My vision caught where the head is going to be. So, I immediately throw the Kunai towards it. I stay on the ground and watches as the head appear grinning not realizing my kunai is going straight toward it...
When it realize, it's too late... My Kunai has clipped the edge of the Haunted Terror... That's when I immediately use my Phantom Flicker.
"Lethal Torture! Godspeed! Lethal Blows! Assassination!"
Three saw, three blows with assassination on, combined with the effect of wither from my Dark Thorn... Deletes half of the health of the Haunted Terror.
"Well then... It's useless to run you know? My Blood Mark has been giving your position away before you even appearing from the darkness..."
That's the reason why I can predict the movement of the Haunted Terror... At first, it's hard to get adjusted to the darkness... But now, I can see the mark clearer.
"Well then.. Shall we play once again?"
I use Judgement Drive and just chased it three times. The reason why I do that is to leave the Trail so that whenever it hits the trail, its movement is hindered by some point of a second. That will be the end of this thing...
"Now, just for some extra measure."
Because I cannot cover everything... I leave Lethal Torture to cover the rest of the area that Judgement Drive didn't cover... Making sure that wherever the Haunted Terror goes.. It is hit by something...
"The arena is set. Let's go head to head and not run away, shall we?"
I put my Mask that has been accessories all of this time on and take my stance... I centered my daggers to the face of the Haunted Terror...
The Haunted Terror looks very pissed. So scary that any normal people would lose their mind. But since I'm now trained with the Star Gazer and our initial encounter... This is nothing...
In fact, since it's taking its time... I decided to End the fight right here and right now...
"I don't like you wasting my time and trying to do something suspicious... So, just taste my sure fire hit attack..."
There's no Tomorrow...
Endless Flurry of attack befalls the powerless Haunted Terror. My Flurry of attacks push the Haunted Terror back. I pushed it so far that in this darkness that it hits the wall. I thought that this darkness has no limit. Turns out, it has and it's pretty far out... That's how much attack I let out during this time...
Of course, the creature tries to retaliate... But nothing can disturb me when I'm using There's no Tomorrow. All futile attack attempts will be destroyed and with that... The mechanical, disgusting and scary thing known as Haunted Terror... Cracks down and started to get engulfed in flame...
There's so little HP left on the Health Bar...
"Blood Discharge..."
I turn around and let the last bit of HP got taken out by my Blood Discharge... The Haunted Terror explode as I make my way out of the darkness...
"Oh, I did get out..."
I look at the map and I'm VERY far out. It's the MOST Northern side of the entire floor and after a look around, I notices something on the floor... A key.
I grab the key and immediately the system notified me.
'You have gotten the 'Royal Capital Key' With that, you have finished gathering all three clues for the main Scenario. In order to received more information about the Main Scenario, please enter the Royal Capital.'
"Alright then... The fun has just begun huh..."
So that Haunted Terror is not the boss... Let's see what this Royal Capital is all about... But first... Where is the Royal Capital Located?
