>FWOOOOSHHH<
My legs crushed the battered ground beneath as I once again sprang into action and charged at the impossibly colossal excuse for a Hobgoblin.
The monster, expecting I would have lost so of my nerve, appeared surprised by my sudden action and gave a slightly accorded expression to the emotion. It didn’t plan on staying still, though.
Roaring in what seed to be a champion’s cry, it stretched its unoccupied hand and aid to crush with sheer might.
I expected this, though.
Quickly summoning platforms for to climb on, I made way higher and reached the Hobgoblin’s face. Once again, I brandished my hand and made a tightly clenched fist.
>SWOOOOSHHHH!!!<
>BOOOOOOMMMMM!BOOOOOMMM!!!<
It exploded, causing smoke to proceed from the monster’s mouth. As the mist cleared, I saw scorched marks clearly imprinted on the Hobgoblin’s body, but there was still no reduction in its HP.
‘I’ve been staring at it for so ti now, even when the blast happened… nothing changed!’
Even if it was healing, or if the damage caused was rely a fraction, a slight reduction would be seen. Considering how keen my senses had beco, there was no way I could have missed any of that.
This only ant one thing!
‘It isn’t taking any damage!’
Or rather, it appeared it wasn’t.
A smile ford on my face as I put a few things together and ford a string of theories that would most likely prove true. The monster’s seemingly infinite pool of HP had to be the result of a Skill. The illusory strike had to be a Skill too.
However, considering the fact that it hadn’t used its illusory Skill to finish off or used other Skills it was sure to possess ant that the Skill it was using had a limit.
As for a way to bypass it, I didn’t have one at the mont. No matter what I thought of, it wouldn’t do much good. I could be filled by the illusion and be dealt a critical hit and it was possible that I wouldn’t make a dent in the monster’s health throughout our exchange.
Still… I was slowly seeing my path to victory!
If I couldn’t predict its attacks, it only ant one thing… I had to strike first!
As the one with the higher Agility, that wouldn’t be a problem.
Launching myself from my location, I ensured my body was in perfect harmony with my thoughts and charged at the monster to deal relentless attacks on it until it had gotten enough.
The earth trembled as a result of our clash. I could feel each blow I gave the monster send shock throughout my body. Its skin was tough and hot to the touch.
My body kept being blown back as a result of the clash between my mana and the Demons’. Though, with the way I dealt damage, it was clear that it was receiving the brunt of the impact, not .
I didn’t stop, even though it seed hopeless. I kept attacking, refusing to let it completely charge up its attack or brandish its lone staff.
The monster’s face slowly transford. From an arrogant gleam to an annoyed expression… until it finally beca that of slight apprehension. I could tell that the beast was changing its assessnt of .
I was nothing more than an inferior being to it—a weakling. However, to its astonishnt, this weakling kept pestering it so much that it couldn’t help but give away its emotion.
It was only for a mont, but I saw its eyes depicting fear—a fear of the possibility that I could win.
“GARUIIIIIKKKKKK!!!” It was at this mont that the Hobgoblin Chief let out an enraged cry that pushed backward, despite my firm stance.
It was as though the intelligent monster had reverted to savagery. No, it wasn’t exactly so… but, I could sense a form of primal pressure that it didn’t emit before. People called it all sorts of things, but I recognized it quite well.
“You’re finally getting serious, eh?” I grinned, though beads of sweat dripped from my face.
I had been a pain in its arse for so long that the Hobgoblin Chief was finally ready to face for real.
Was I supposed to feel honored? Nope, not in the slightest. Unlike it, I didn’t have any intention of using all of my might in this battle.
No matter how serious a person could be, they could never completely show all they have to an opponent—except for a single scenario.
There was only one reason why anyone would display their full strength to another… and that is when they are driven into a corner!
Desperation was the na of the ga!
As such, there was no need for to feel comforted in honor for any reason. The one who was getting desperate was the alleged superior creature.
Rather than feel graced by the sudden change in atmosphere, there could only be one emotion I could find rising uncontrollably from my depths.
Absolute confidence!
The mont it got flustered was the mont I beca assured of my triumph.
“This is the final phase. I’ll say it once again… CLENCH YOUR TEETH!”
