Chapter 41: Bursting Through The Woods (3)
Luis’ ears are ringing after seeing such a sight. His instincts are blaring, indicating that this is not a good sign. However, sothing inside him is boiling, making him feel excited.
This is almost the sa as the night when they first encounter the huge numbers of root crawlers. The feeling was the sa as that. Only this ti, his head was clear and his mind is focused on the present situation.
"Hold this prideful chick for . Make sure not to let this escape, it’s got a lot of debts to settle." Luis said to Xagrien and then to the little chick who’s the reason why they are in this situation. "I won’t make it easy for you to settle the dues. Fighting!"
Luis gave a refreshing smile that is sent straight to the spine of the little bird. If it weren’t for the fact that he was being intimidated by the other featherless being holding him, he would have flown straight away!
Xagrien didn’t have the ti to say anything when things turned bad. He is supposedly about to pull the moon elf lord to go outside when Luis hastily ran deeper inside.
Three frenzied root crawlers simultaneously charged forward. Luis t them halfway with his whole body covered by white light. He strengthened his entire body and his speed to keep up with the agility of the root crawlers.
At first, he felt awkward since he is now in a smaller body and the space is not that much. His initial attacks are dodged by these grimy creatures but he patiently continued his attack.
He saw that Xagrien is about to jump into the brawl but he stopped him.
"Do you think that is my best shot? Don’t step in and I’ll show you how this gorgeous lord kicks asses." Luis declared after his fist connected with a root crawler’s face.
The impact completely destroyed the head of the poor creature and a loud splatter of blood resonated within the tunnel.
Xagrien abruptly stopped. He hasn’t seen how the bearer dealt with the root crawler earlier since he only manage to see the bloodied arm of the moon elf lord.
But seeing how Luis killed it with just one hit, he could now see the strength and the ruthlessness of the moon elf lord.
Thinking about the things he did to the moon elf lord and yet Luis left him untouched made a warm feeling spring in his chest.
Luis doesn’t have ti to wonder about Xagrien’s thoughts. While he is slowly gaining montum, the root crawlers are also improving.
’They turned faster?!’ Luis exclaid deep inside. Although he was in a daze, Luis rembers their movent that night and it is definitely not like this! Their movents are filled with desperation as if they don’t have any regard towards their own life. They jumped haphazardly towards him as if these root crawlers are offering their lives on a platter.
Luis threw a punch to one root crawler and then to another.
The stream of root crawlers ca incessantly but the reincarnated moon elf lord is still unfazed. His pacing and precision are catching up with the agility of the root crawlers at a rocket-like speed.
"Kiiiiiiik!" Only the wailing of charging abominable creatures are heard amid the thumping sounds that ended their life. They didn’t get a chance to voice out their suffering as their heads, chests or entire torso exploded after their contact with the moon elf lord’s fist.
"You better line up properly. This mitch will end you nice and fast."
Luis feels his blood pumping strongly and rapidly throughout his entire body. The familiar rush of adrenaline makes every piece of his muscles alive.
Luis unknowingly smiled because of this. ’Ah, I can’t believe that I am saying this but it seems that I really missed this feeling,’ he thought.
With that, he let go of his inhibitions and packed more strength into his every punch and kick.
Just one attack is enough to harvest the lives of the multiple root crawlers but he made sure he only deals with them one at a ti.
It made a strangely satisfying feeling to Luis as he saw beads of crimson blood floating in the air.
Bam! Bam! Bam! The heavy thumping against the flesh of root crawlers sounded within the tunnel. It was accompanied by a splatter of blood against the floor, ceiling and walls. The strong tallic stench is practically everywhere but Luis doesn’t care about this.
"This so much fun!"
Each hit is heavy enough to propel jets of air pressure. These gusts of air disrupt the incoming root crawlers. In turn, it beca easier to slaughter the approaching hideous creature.
However, it is still not ideal for Luis to let himself loose.
The space is tight so Luis’ movents are restrained and the height difference between him and the root crawlers is a challenge in itself.
It calls for precise attacks one after the other to ensure that his fist will connect to his targets.
His brain and body are moving as one as he made move after move to kill them. Not a single movent was wasted.
’This is enjoyable in itself,’ Luis whispered with a jovial smile painted on his face as he continued his assault. He finds it entertaining to fight in this dark tunnel because of the elent of surprise.
Only the white light that radiates from his body is the only thing that serves as the illumination inside this tunnel.
"This is strangely like a whack-a-mole," Luis uttered as root crawlers materialized out from the darkness, they ca sporadically so it also piques his prediction skills.
It was challenging.
At this ti, most of his experiences of survival in the apocalypse are on full display. Boxing and Muay Thai. He used those two techniques interchangeably depending on the incoming attacks of the root crawlers. These martial arts are effective in this tight space.
If you want to live in a world where anything can kill you, then you have to be flexible and use anything that could help you at your disposal.
So even though fist-fighting techniques are not his forte, he is still brandishing his fists for the love of his life.
"Ahhh, I missed my Hyesung and Byul," he cannot help but utter in a low voice, referring to his favorite twin short sword that is made from wood. No one who knows him will underestimate it because of the material it was made since he used it to reap countless high-level zombies’ heads.
Luis is much more experienced in ard fighting and he thinks that he can perform well if he has weapons with him.
"I will just create another one." Though Luis thought that it will be inferior to his original weapons considering the current limit of his abilities. Ahh, it made him rember the add-on that he will never be thankful for.
’Fucking system.’ he cussed deep inside. All it shows are his status and that tir. There’s not even a voice AI to interact. That system administrator must be a tech-illiterate cosplaying as a programr.
Luis carried on with his ruthless slaughter. Ten. Twenty. Fifty. He lost count of how many root crawlers he killed while he is not that far from the entrance.
He was inclined to go deeper into the tunnel. So little by little he receives the root crawlers attacks a step forward.
In the midst of all this happening, Xagrien was left in a daze after seeing the powerful movents of the bearer.
It was a fighting technique that he had never seen and it left him captivated. It was precise and strong. He reckons that even without the monstrous strength of the moon elf lord, it is efficient to use it in fights.
He wants to learn that technique. Hot blood is surging in his bloodstream.
And the bearer... the moon elf lord looks so attractive when he was deeply focused in fighting.
Xagrien’s originally stoic face is flushed with excitent. Every inch of his being is screaming, wanting to beco stronger and his is drawn to co closer.
"Oh, you are still here?" The voice of the moon elf lord dragged him out of his bubble. "Make sure not to let that chick escape. I will follow after you once I am done enjoy- I an done with dealing with these root crawlers." Luis imdiately corrected himself. He sohow feels that it is not appropriate to say that he is just playing around, especially to this guy.
He turned to look at Xagrien and he noticed the faint twinkling in his eyes.
’That gaze!’
Luis’ heart strated to quicken it’s pace.
Luis shook his arm to get rid of the soaking blood. He feels ashad to face the guy with all the blood and dirt clinging to him. He feels like he is a pure maiden who is first ti eting a man. This is not how it should be for a male bitch like are him!
"You can rest with them outside. Just make sure to prepare sothing that I can eat once I am done here." Luis said hurriedly. Very much willing to stay away from the male moon elf. "See you later!"
"Beep! Beep!"
And he bulldoze his way inside the tunnel while holding multiple bodies of the root crawlers that he caught. He used these to act as the bumpers while he ramd through the crowd of root crawlers. Trying to shake off the pleasure tickling where his heart is.
