54 Chapter 54: Mission E (22)
Boom! Boom!
1
The poor house couldn't withstand the impact, collapsing instantly.
Roar!
After all the noise, everything became silent.
Hiiiiii!
Boom!
Like a bullet, he runs out of the disaster directly towards me; Her gray fur had red spots on her body, clearly not unharmed.
With bloodshot eyes, he charged directly with a frontal attack. Adjusting my posture, I executed my footwork and ran towards my target.
"Come on, come on!"
With a bloody smile, my blood jumped with excitement. This is definitely new, the first time I'm injured to such an extent, but I still can't help but feel thrilled.
My pupils dilate, and my breathing stabilizes, clearing all unnecessary thoughts from my head. I focus entirely on my target.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground cracks behind his steps; a thin grayish mist emanates from his body, and the atmosphere becomes terribly cold. I activated his ability again, but this time it's different. It's directed straight at me. I feel a slight shiver running through my body.
The pressure of my aura increases, and I grit my teeth. I don't have much mana left; I need to finish him off soon, or I'll be dead.
Gripping the hilt tightly, I position my sword diagonally.
Clank!
The collision of power creates a recoil that makes us take a few steps back. I quickly stand firm on the ground and attack again, raising my sword from above with the intention of a vertical strike.
Clink! Swoosh!
Protecting himself from my attack, the anomaly rotates his head in a circle to deliver a new blow with his horn.
Roar! Bang!
My sword cracks, and I don't have much time left.
Huff... hufff
Taking short breaths, I lift my head. We stare at each other for a few seconds.
Disappearing from our position simultaneously, we collide in the center, creating a crater around us.
Stepping back, turning around, I launch a frontal attack.
Swish! Roar!
Cough!
Releasing a mouthful of blood, I perform my footwork, disappearing from my position and reappearing behind his back.
Bang!
Twisting his spine unnaturally, he turns 180 degrees and receives my blow.
Squinting, I watch as my sword shatters in front of me.
Swish! Bang!
Throwing the hilt to the ground, I close my fist. With a frontal attack, I connect the punch directly to his face.
Bang!
Roar!
Performing my footwork, I appear in front of him. With an uppercut, I hit him in the abdomen.
Bang!
Crashing into a tree.
Cough!
Coughing, black blood comes out of his mouth. Getting up, he charges back towards me.
"Don't you get tired, huh?" I say mockingly. My limbs scream with fatigue.
The loss of blood is taking its toll. The pain in my left arm and the fractures in my side are starting to bother me.
Clutching my fist, I adjust my position. I could summon another sword from my ring, but I want to finish him with my own hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The anomaly comes charging directly with its head lowered with the intention of piercing my chest. As he's a few meters away from me, I activate my footwork and move slightly to the right. Performing a hook, I hit him in the ribs, payback, taking the opportunity to deliver a frontal blow.
Bang!
Falling to the ground, I quickly position myself on top of him.
"Let's have some fun, you bastard!" with a twisted smile, I tightly clench my fist. I surround him with my aura and throw a jab.
Bang! Roar!
Punch! Punch! Punch!
"It hurts!" "Damn son of a bitch!"
Roaring!
In his desperation, his arms move wildly, hitting me in my ribs.
Cough!
Releasing another mouthful of blood directly onto the anomaly's chest.
AARGGGH!
His legs move up and down, trying to hit my back unsuccessfully. Putting my last drops of mana into my fist, I hit him directly in the chest, aiming for his heart.
Aaaaaaaaaaa!
Applying all the pressure in my fist, I pierce his flesh, hitting his heart directly.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
"SCREAM, YOU BITCH!" with blood around my mouth, he stops moving completely. Feeling the strength leaving my body, I step back and fall directly to the ground. The pain is excruciating; my whole body is numb, my breathing is irregular, and I feel like I'm about to lose consciousness. Vaguely hearing footsteps running around me, I see Elsa blurred. She assumes an adventurer identification position, kneels beside me, slowly lifts my head, and places a vial on my lips. My dry palate is filled with a refreshing and cold liquid that passes through my throat. I feel my cold body slowly warming up, my breathing returns to normal, and I feel like I'm coming back to life. I'm still amazed at how a liquid can perform such a miracle.
Crunch!
I hear my broken bones relocating to their proper places, and the pain gradually diminishes. Clenching my teeth, I endure the pain that comes with the recovery state. I feel cold drops falling directly on my face. Looking up, I see Elsa with tears in her eyes.
"S-sorry for being so useless, for protecting me... you got hurt so much... I'm so sorry-o," bringing her hands to her eyes, she tries to wipe them, but it's all futile; the tears don't seem to have an end.
Silently looking at her for a moment, "You know, the world is unfair, don't you think? You, born into a prestigious family, should have had all the attention for your strength level, but fate played you a trick. It turns out you didn't possess your family's bloodline; you received a lot of criticism and judgmental looks, but still, you didn't give up. You tried by all means to find a cure for your problem, and it turns out you found it."
Cough! Cough!
"But it's in this damn place. You're not sure it's going to work, but still, you decided to come here and take the risk."
Looking into her eyes, I still remember how her death was in the novel, very unfortunate.
"You're a tragic girl, Elsa, just like me. Don't we make a good team, don't you think?" I say with a smile. As I said at the beginning, we are good-looking for better or for worse.
"Waaaaaa!" "Waaaaa!" Elsa couldn't hold back her emotions any longer; all that could be heard was her sad crying.
***
We were sitting on the ground; Elsa is sleeping beside me. She was mentally exhausted. Looking on the ground, there were 4 orbs; all shining like stars in the sky. I still can't stop being amazed by this spectacle. Looking at my torn left arm, I sigh, taking a high-level position. I bring it directly to my mouth; the low-level position couldn't restore my arm. Feeling a small itch again in my left arm, the pain gradually increases. Tearing off a piece of my shirt, I bring it to my mouth. Clenching my teeth, I grab my arm tightly; damn, the restoration process is very painful. Through the corner of my eye, I can observe how the flesh of my arm regenerates slowly.
After another few minutes of pure suffering, I am amazed as I look at my completely restored arm. Before, the arm was torn by the beast's fangs. You could see the bone; even some parts were broken. My fingers were partially torn off, and in the wrong position.
Making small movements, I check that everything is in its correct place and there is no discomfort. The restoration is undoubtedly incredible; all the veins and arteries were perfectly there.
Nodding satisfied, I take out my 4 orbs: 2 orbs from monsters similar to yetis, and the 2 Elsa absorbed. Only the black substance remains. Crushing the 2 orbs, the essence is absorbed by my body; the place glows briefly. I take the 2 corrupt orbs and absorb them too. The same happens with the 2 orbs I obtained just now. After almost half an hour of absorbing all the spoils of war, I check my gained experience.
[21,200/160,000]
As I have killed 8 beasts of silver rank, they give a total of 200 experience. So, the 8 beasts amount to 1600. By absorbing my 4 orbs, thanks to my ability where I can absorb 100%, I have a total of 800. As they are silver rank orbs, they give a total of 200 experience, unlike zone 1, which only gave 100. Doing the calculations and by absorbing Elsa's orbs that were corrupt, they give the remaining 50% which is 200, adding everything up, I would have a total of 21,200 experience gained in this mission.
Perfect, I'm on the right track. Even if it's a system's dog, I can't do anything about it either. In the end, it's helping me one way or another. Sighing helplessly, I look at Elsa, who is already awake, staring at me.
"How's the sleeping beauty, are you feeling better?" I say with a small smile.
Her eyes were still red, but her breathing was even; she was already calm.
With a nod, she slowly stands up.
Taking the remaining 2 orbs, I hand them to her. "I won't accept a no for an answer. Although it's true that I got hurt, it's not a big deal. I decided to bring you with me, so I have to protect you, like an older brother would do for his little sister."
I see her eyes fill with tears again, and she runs to hug me. Patting her back, I try to comfort her. After a few moments, she takes the orbs and absorbs them again; the glowing threads enter her body.
I watch as her body emits a glow from head to toe; she finally ascended to mid-bronze.
