What sort of greeting is that! It's quite very dangerous for a simple greeting, isn't it?
"Gulp!...Uum...Can I retract my previous statement? That looks very dangerous!"
Double-Trouble! More like, what the heck, isn't this ridiculously unfair! Two C-BOSS type monster at the same time!?
This is outrageous! With only one of them can really squash a Level 13 like me in an instant, much less two!?......
'Oh my God, I'm really sorry Flora, it seems we really won't have the chance to meet with each other in the future!
Although I promised I won't disappear, I'm really sorry...For the last time I only hope your happiness from the deepest part of my heart'
Accepting my unfortunate fate, I let out a deep breath while smiling bitterly. Oddly enough, even though I know I can't win nor survive in this current predicament, my heart didn't waver at all. No fear surge inside me. My mind was calm and no uncomfortable feeling clouded my heart. No sign of despair at all, my mind was so calm that it's scary.
'Is this perhaps the satisfaction when you face your death? But I still have many regrets lingering, you know~ Or maybe it was still because of my unique skill? Really just how cheat is this one!'
[ No matter how hard or impossible it is, never lose hope and fight until the end of your breath. It doesn't matter how strong your opponents are or how many are there, as long as you stand up to them. ]
With my heart and mind felt at ease, a very familiar voice and scene appeared inside my mind. It was precious memory I thought I've already forgotten. This is the memory where I first met master when I was fighting a couple of thugs because of harassing Mother Superior. Being a five year old legit brat such difference in strength is really easy to notice, but this is what he told me. At first, I thought that Master is really a merciless old man, What would you think if you were me when you saw him just sitting while watching a five year old brat desperately fighting three grown up men while eating a chicken wing barbecue as if it was a popcorn?
But later on, I realized how wrong I am. If I run away at that time, or ask for help while crying then I would always be a loser in my entire life. Hahaha even still, I lost and faint...I woke up the next day, with many bandages wrapped around me while Mother Superior was crying the whole time~.....it seems the old man save me after I lost consciousness though~
"You became quiet, are you scared now you damn thief!"
"Man, you're really a mood killer you know that~ I'm still reminiscing a very precious memory so can you please shut up?"
Skull face seemed surprise because of my answer, although it really doesn't show in his face. What would you expect in a skull? But because he became silent, it's safe to assume he's quite surprised~
"Scared? So what? Isn't that normal, I'm a legit human you know~ Of course I'll get scared but even so, It's because
I'm scared that it makes me even more stronger than you can never imagine~ So shut that bony mouth of yours and tremble in fear as this scared human show you what real human is, skull face!"
"Grrr, ENOUGH! CHIMERA TURN THIS THIEF INTO PASTE!!!"
With a clattering noise made from its bare teeth, he shouted with tone filled with rage. With that acting as a signal, the huge monster began running towards me. The ground tremble and the scattered gold coins made 'jingle' sounds.
"Really, Why are all the monsters I met; Of course with the exception of my beloved Flora well, not like I consider her a monster in the first place, so hot-blooded!? Fight here, fight there Oh come on~ Didn't I always said I'm a great Pacifist! Damn! Looks like I need to go all out from the beginning!...............[ Poison Clad ]"
Activating the skill, a gooey purple liquid flows from the [ Poison Gauntlet ] towards my [ Magic Blade sword ].
Actually this is the first time I activated this skill because from all the fight until now, I deem it unnecessary but still...isn't this looks disgusting?
"""Grrrrroooooaaaaaaararrrrrr ---- Baaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"""
Three pairs of red eyes was staring directly at me as it gave off a very loud roar that seemed to make the whole place shake. It's eyes were getting crazier every minute while looking at me as if I was a very delicious meat serve in a silver platter. It was emitting a fierce thirst for blood that would make anyone wet their pants upon feeling it.
"Are you kidding me? Don't high class dogs prefer high class bones than thin meat? Look aren't your master possess some very high quality bones, why chose someone like me? I bet your master is more hard and bony~ Oh by the way, I have a disease called Hurt-your-stomach-if-you-eat-me disease, you'd rather not eat me if you don't want to suffer"
Not listening to my serious complaints, the gigantic body of the [ Chimera ] jumped into the air and landed on the ceiling before flying towards me at full speed. It was ten times faster than all the monsters I've fought until now.
Tsk - ! clicking my tongue, I prepared my two swords as I jumped in front to intercept it. If by any chance, It gained distance away from me, I felt like its attack would just become stronger than ever. Exerting a great amount of force to jump cause a strong wind to surround my feet as I propel myself like a bullet. When the [ Chimera ] saw me flying towards him, it raised all its claws which were bigger and sharper than a steel blade.
Reacting to this attack, I twisted my body in midair with all my might like a fish in water. Although this would be normally humanly impossible, but I just did it so I couldn't help but felt satisfaction on how flexible my body is~
Only a millimeter away from being torn apart by those claws, but still I managed to successfully dodged it by hairsbreadth. Floating midair while its body was in front of me; not moving, I decided to start my counter attack. Not using special skills, I raised the two swords in my hand and simultaneously slashed them at the [ Chimera ]'s bare back.
Peng!
But the defense of this damn monster seems freaking out of the chart! I felt like I just slashed to a freaking hard metal! It's even harder than the [ Poison Fin Frog ] from before. Without no choice, I kicked its back and use the force from it to somersault in the air. Successfully doing it, I'm now facing the back of the [ Chimera ]
" Way of the Dragon God, second defensive form: Dragon Cyclone Revised Edition: Revolving Storm Blade!"
Tilting my body to the side, I spin my body as fast as I can. Simultaneously swinging my two swords, I put more power in it as I shout at the top of my lungs. 'Peng! sounds continued to echo inside the whole room as it accompanied the roar of the monster. It seems like despite the steel like body, it can still take some damage!
My swords became meat grinders, but it seems the [ Chimera ] can't just accept my affection without giving something back. Its folded wings spread out, with a wing span around two meters, it was totally insane!
With this unexpected actions, my newly born technique was stopped, leaving me hanging in midair. Man, flying ability is really unfair!
Bzzzzz
As my body was slowly descending in the air, my ability [ Menace ] kicks in. Turning my head I immediately saw the incoming claws that looks like huge four swords towards me. Immediately, I used the two swords in my hands to block it but with a 'Boom' sound, the swords broke into tiny pieces while the claw struck my body with more than half of its power still remaining.
Bang!
Fiercely ramming in the wall, I couldn't help but spat out a mouthful of blood while coughing. Intense pain surged inside my body as I felt my organs bursting from the attack.
'Man, just what the hell is wrong with this supposedly virtual game? This isn't like the first time I fought and get injured while fighting a monster! It feels as if, the more days I stayed in this world the more my body feels like it's becoming real...Damn! I don't know why but it feels as if this world is turning into a reality more and more! Just what the heck is happening! It hurts like hell!'
Blood sprayed from my body, dyeing the floor in blood. 'This was definitely a fatal hit' I thought when I noticed that
my HP bar was reduced by more than half. The claw of the [ Chimera ] had ripped open my abdomen, puncturing my organs so it really isn't that surprising.
With my face twisted in agony and pain, and my breath became shallow and rapid I noticed that the color of my skin turned pale as my blood was gushing out from my complexion.
'It seems I really can't win...huh'
Raising my head, I saw the Three-headed [ Chimera ]'s huge body was standing upright. It looks like a huge moving hill that was made up of iron or steel. Its three pairs of eyes was looking at me and then to the broken pieces of my sword. The three head's suddenly showed a malicious grin as if it was making fun of my sword and thinking 'What? Is that sword of yours made up of paper?'
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Looking at this shameless monster, my eyebrow twitched in frustration. Looking at the remaining portion of the sword in my hand, I couldn't help but forced out a smile with a pained expression.
"Oh man, look what you did to my sword~ This two is my favorite you know~"
"It doesn't matter anymore because you won't need it after I make you one of my mindless undead"
"Shut up you bald skull face! In the first place, who gave you permission to watch my valiant battle as if you are just watching some porn? huh? Don't you need to pay some money to witness the upcoming finale!"
"Hmpf, such arrogance I wonder how long it will last~"
Wiping the blood at the corner of my mouth, I stood up with great difficulty. A large volume of red liquid; seemingly my blood, spurted out from my wound but it was soon stopped.
'It seems like even if my body was deeply injured, it will still stopped the bleeding and I can still move my body; although the wound is still painful. Fortunately, these kind of things is still like the game!'
"Oh~ it seems you're one of those so-called [ World Jumper ] what a great specimen"
"Shut your bony mouth for a second, baldy! I need to eat my regular diet! And you ugly dog, sit for a second and wait, I'll accompany you later"
Maybe shocked by my still carefree and nonchalant behavior, Skull face look at me with agape expression and then began gritting his teeth. It wouldn't have thought that I would show such behavior in this sort of dire circumstances.
"Kill that thief immediately!"
"""Groooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrr --- Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"""
'Man, I would really like if they just wait for a minute~ seriously this monsters really lacks some manners'
With lightning-like movements, I immediately withdraw 5 [ Red Healing Petal ], 3 [ Blue Earth Flower ], 1 bottle of low tier [ Health Potion ] and shoved it in my mouth. Seeing that the [ Chimera ] was now only a meter away from me, I immediately use [ Teleport ] to evade.
"Seriously, both of you should learn some table manners~ I'm still chewing some pastries, you know~" I said while smiling wryly.
Readjusting my breathing, I looked straight at the blood red eyes of the [ Chimera ] and took a fighting stance. My fist was enveloped with blue light as I activate my skill [ Maken ]. Having lost my sword, I decided not to overwork myself by using different weapon in my upcoming death. I'd rather use my fist just like those fight back in earth~
With this it should be quite dramatic~
"I know I won't survive but still.... let me enjoy this farewell battle to the fullest. As for you skull face, I cahange my mind! Just sit there like a virgin watching porno, will you!"
"Hmpf, struggle until you die, damn thief!....Ah look, look my Peisha. Let us enjoy this pitiful bug get squashed. I will offer you his head sooner so just wait and enjoy his struggle...Ah my lovely Peisha, Your always beautiful in my eyes."
"Hey, seriously can you please stop that, it's gross you know~"
"SHUT UP!"
--------------------------------------------
After entering the battle state, the speed which I'm supposed to have seems like it reach a new height as it became faster. My surrounding; especially the [ Chimera ]'s movements slow down a little bit. Although it's still not enough.
"""Groooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrr --- Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"""
The [ Chimera ]'s claw that looks like a grim reaper's sickle passed in my head which had been a few millimeters away, instantly blowing away the things which are littering around the room.. It was a miracle that I manage to avoid that. If I didn't duck in the right moment, my head would have been smashed to pieces and my brain matters would fly away as if saying 'I'm one with the wind!'.
Using the shockwave created from the attack, I manage to gain some distance. Three pairs of eyes, six pupil that
flashed with ferocity that flashed with a ferocity radiance. This is the first time in my life that I have tried fighting such strong monster! The [ Chimera ] and me, a man and a wild beast were staring at each other, waiting for the tiniest opening.
But it seems the enemy would not even gave me some time to rest. Running through the gold coins scattered in the ground, the [ Chimera ] once again spread his wings and ascended to the air.
The dragon head opened its mouth, letting loose a deafening roar and then breath a very dangerous flamethrower.
"YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAARRRDDDDDDDDD! THAT'S OBVIOUSLY CHEATINGGGGGGGGG!!!"
Knowing that I have no chance in winning yet this damn monster was still showing such disparity in our strength, I can only feel mortified, as I ran in the opposite direction of the [ Chimera ].
In a moment, an unbearable pain came from my back. It was a feeling as if your back was being burned in the fire.
But actually, that's what's happening right now.
"Gaa...!?"
Enduring the pain coming from my heavily injured body, I immediately rolled on the side to escape.
'Damn.......This really sucks....! I knew that it was really strong but I didn't think that it was this powerful! DAMMIT!!!!!!'
Due to mortification, my whole body was trembling. The pain was rocking my mind as if it wants to explode.
Countless negative feelings that I had never felt before. Precious memories keep popping out from my head. The smiles from the people I know, from the people I met; whether it was from the original world or in this virtual game.
The faces of Mother Superior, father, Mother, Teach, Marie....................and lastly Flora...
'...in the end I can't help but want to see you for the last time, Flora...I'm sorry I can't stay with you forever....but for one last time, I wanted to tell you how lucky I am to meet you in my life and had a chance to fell in love with someone like you.....I love you....'
I haven't notice but it seems, tears flowed out from my eyes.
"Hmpf, crying won't do anything because you are still going to die today!"
"Shut up, baldy! Don't you know that when a man cries, there is always a good reason for that! Although I don't think you can still feel that with that skull face of yours.
Mustering all my strength to stand up, and my consciousness on the verge of fainting from pain. But still I manage to smiled while groaning in pain.
However, this was my last resistance because I know that I wouldn't last long anymore. Using the last ounce of my willpower, I gritted my teeth.
"M-man, if I can't go die with a bang then I don't think I can still declare that I'm the lover of the most beautiful woman in the world....can I?........[ Teleport ]"
With the last of my power, I used [ Teleport ] and manage to stand behind the back of the lion's head.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"
With the last of my fighting spirit, I launched my fist. It might be an idiocy, a futile effort so to speak. A skin that couldn't even cut by a sword, how could a mere fist with little power can hurt it? But I don't care!
With power that can even shatter my own bones, cause my limbs to swell, I will still fight. It wasn't due to my desperation to survive, but because of my pride. I'll die but I refused to believe that I can't hurt it! Forgetting about pain and my battered and bruised body, I released countless punch to the lion's face.
Because of how hard it is, it was of course inevitable that my fist would be crushed. Droplets of blood sprayed out from my already broken fist. The generated severe pain was suppressed with intense passion and male blood.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
The indomitable fists that kept striking like a storm. Each time was accompanied by blood. With a cracking sound, the fist which I put all my hope, my pride and my strength finally manage to broke the nose bone of the lion's head. The lion's head roared in pain and its body started shaking.
"With this I have still shown you how cool your man is.....right Flora?.....I'm sorry I couldn't free you from this prison-like dungeon........I love you~"
With my body as battered and covered with fatal injuries as it is, It has long exceeded its limits. My body falls limply and my consciousness was fading but the smile on my face has still not disappeared.
As my vision fades, all I can see is the upcoming claw of the [ Chimera ]. Seeing this, I resolve myself and accepted my fate...
'Thanks for the precious memories my love...I wish that in my next life I can still love you...'
Suddenly my vision was covered with darkness.....
