Chapter 355: Sigil monster (1)
"We need to dodge it!"
Cranberry called urgently jumping away from behind Zombie.
"Khahaha! Good call!"
The boy laughed but instead of following the girl, he instead charged straight at the incoming bicorn.
*WHOOOSH*
"HA?!"
His legs shone with a bright light and each step released a strong torrent of wind that blew past the confused girl making her gasp in utter disbelief.
Meanwhile, the boy was already by the charging beast, swinging his sword.
*stab*
...and he burrowed its blade right into the ground!
*WHAM*
Before Cranberry had the time to shout in confusion at what was the hell was he doing, Zombie jumped up, using the sword as an anchor, and unleashed a devastating kick right onto the monster horse's head lowered for a headbutt.
*SLAM*
"NGHHH...! (URGHHH....!)"
The beast whizzed in pain as the hit has knocked it completely off balance and almost tripped over its own hooves but somehow saved itself from crashed against the ground by slowing down and changing its direction.
"...ha...?"
The red-haired girl froze in place wide-eyed and gobsmacked.
|This... might be harder than I hoped for...|
Zombie thought to himself in confusion, propelling himself away from the cautious predating beast, with the continuous use of the whirlwind kick, gripping Kopia a bit harder.
|You're using both superbia and overpower on its STR at the same time, not to mention your sigil hunter title that grants you five percent more damage to sigil monsters for each sigil monster you have ever killed... and you have your leg power affinity on top of that - but the bicorn somehow didn't get knocked out from a clear hit....|
Patience sounded as if she was frowning with concern as she explained.
|The longer a monster bears the sigil, the stronger it gets. This horse just barely got it and it has been injured when the carriage toppled over... Zombie, this one is really tough, you better kill it as fast as possible or things will only keep getting worse for us!|
She added urgently as the boy was turning around following the monster horse to never show it his back.
|You think I don't know that?!|
Zombie complained while readying himself for another strike.
|Stop whining. We need to get you killed but if Cranberry dies before or right after you do, it will be completely pointless.|
Patience scoffed at him.
|Geez, thanks for the advice miss unskippable tutorial.|
Zombie responded, rolling his eyes at the sealed being..
|Shut up! You are the brawns I'm the brains, it's not my fault when you underestimate an opponent!|
The sealed overseer sounded as if she stomped her foot, fuming from anger.
|Who underestimated it?! I'm going at it with full power from the start!|
Zombie roared internally.
"Neigh...! (Human foal, I won't forgive you for this disgrace...!)"
The bicorn neighed furiously while focused solely on the boy.
|Watch out, the longer it is alive the stronger it will become, that's how the sigil works, do something already!|
Patience called out as the bicorn charged at him again.
"..."
Zombie squinted his eyes - Kopia flashed white and changed from a scimitar into a bastard sword allowing for a double-handed grip.
Although the boy was the most confident in his legs, there was no doubt that Kopia was his best weapon by far.
And if the bicorn wanted to test the durability of his flesh against her - well, Zombie certainly wasn't going to miss a chance like that!
Just like before, the bicorn charged straight at the boy, with its head lowered for a headbutt aiming to skewer him with its horns.
Zombie's eyes shone with a bright white light and as did Kopia's blade, with a perfect stance they waited for the right timing and...!
*SHIII'*
*CLANG!*
As Zombie was already mid-swing, the bicorn dug its front hooves into the ground, stopping itself right before the boy and shook its head as its horns shone brightly with the red light - and with a sound of metal clashing against the metal, Kopia and Zombie were pushed back!
|IT CAN USE PARRY?!|
Zombie gritted his teeth, trying to regain his balance.
"NEIGH! (IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE, HUMAN FOAL!)"
The bicorn neighed with a morbid laugh as it climbed on its hind legs and was about to tramble the boy with its front clawed hooves...!
"...AS IF...!"
Zombie roared with a mocking smile and as he was falling on his back he unleashed the flurry of swings.
*clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang* *clang*
Yet again the bicorn surprised the boy - the monster was just as capable of using parry not only with its horns but with its front hooves too, consecutively rendering each attack of the blade storm skill completely useless.
"NEIGH! (DIE!)"
The monster horse neighed triumphantly and rammed one hoof into the boy's face while the other one ended up smashing against his shoulder.
"NEIGH...! (FOOLISH FOAL! NOW, I SHALL FEAST ON YOUR...!)"
The beast let out a mocking voice before it realized that something was wrong.
Although it was firmly pushing against the human child's body with all of its weight, there was only that much that the child would bend backward - no matter what the bicorn couldn't push the violet glowing boy to the ground...!
"...a bicorn... why don't we make you into a gory kelpie?!"
Zombie moved his head from under the heavy hoof and grinned wildly as his eyes shone white.
Kopia in his hand also flashed with a blinding light and instantly transformed into a massive black blade - which the boy swung around from the unbelievably awkward angle and...
*SHIIIING*
*RIIIIP*
*SPLURT*
"NEIGH! (AAAAAAARRRGGHHHH!)"
The blade sang morbidly as it sunk into the bicorn's flesh, tearing apart its stomach and completely separating the monster's hind legs from the rest of its body, pulling out the tens of feet of the steaming pink intestines and making the mutilated beast whiz in pain, slam against the ground at the boy's feet, and start thrashing around in excruciating pain.
|Now. Almost done.|
Zombie nodded to himself and raised the enormous blade to chop the beast's head off like a guillotine.
"NEIGH!"
With a sound that was only the animalistic roar without any meaning and spat a red and black smoke-like blood right into the boy's face.
"FUCKING BASTARD!"
Zombie growled furiously, shaking his head, trying to keep the liquid away from his eyes while bringing the sword down on where the bicorn's head should be...
*WHAM*
But instead of the clear sound of the blade cutting through the flesh, the only thing he heard was the sword smashing against the ground, causing a small explosion.
|YOU MISSED IT!|
Patience called out in panic.
"Master! It's charging at the girl!"
"!!!?!?!?!!!!|
Although he ignored the sealed overseer, there was no way for the boy to ignore a high-pitched warning like that!
In the same second Zombie let go of Kopia, wiped off the sludge blocking his vision the best he could while already launching himself using the whirlwind kick, and launched right at the grotesque half of the monster horse charging at the red-haired? young girl while dragging all of its intestines that fell out along.
"AS IF!"
Zombie roared and threw himself between the beast and the girl who tried to dodge but was far too slow.
*STAB*
"KYAAH!"
Cranberry let out a panicked screamed just as the bicorn's horns pierced the flesh.
