ocean-life Chapter 13: You have slain the mutant
Chapter 13: You have slain the mutant
"Only eighty soul points left, and the bastard is still standing tall." Silas pondered internally, his gaze fixed on the Turtle mutant standing several meters away from him.
Silas knew fully well that he wasn't capable of defeating a Grade 5 mutant, especially the god of the realm. However, he hoped that with his newfound strength, he would at least hold it off until help arrived. He was sure the academy would send more staff to the realm if they noticed the raid hadn't been completed within the usual time.
And when help finally arrived, and they were busy with the mutant, he would stick around so he could land the final blow and fulfill his quest.
However, with the way things were going, Silas wasn't sure if he would still be alive when help finally arrived.
"What's the point of saving the soul points if I'm going to die without using them?" Silas mused, shifting his gaze toward the window screen floating beside him. "Lightning Dash increases my speed for a duration of two seconds. Within that time, I should be able to land a solid hit on it."
[Skill: Lightning Dash has been activated]
[-10 soul points]
Without wasting any time, Silas activated the skill.
Once the skill was activated, the whole area seemed to freeze, and time itself seemed to have stopped. The dust particles flying around in the air froze, and the mutant that had been charging forward at an incredible speed was now traveling at a pace similar to that of a snail.
The whole scene was a bit surprising to Silas, but he knew he had no time to be amazed by it. Seizing the opportunity, he dashed forward and headed toward the mutant.
Arriving within striking distance, Silas dropped the half-blade, clenched his fists tightly, then leaped a few meters into the air. He joined his fists together and brought them down like a hammer toward the bastard's head.
BAM!
Silas's fists collided neatly with the mutant's head, but there was no reaction from it.
Reacting quickly, Silas sidestepped, dodging the first beam by a hair's breadth. He shifted his gaze toward the second beam, and when it was only a few centimeters away, Silas ducked low, letting the beam pass over him.
[Skill: Lightning Dash has been activated]
Without wasting any time, Silas activated the skill and charged forward. He crouched slightly before leaping several meters into the air, high above the mutant.
With the lower half of the blade gripped firmly in both hands, Silas brought it down on the mutant's left eye.
The blade sank into the eye, causing green blood to splatter all around. What followed was a deafening screech from the mutant. Silas swiftly pulled out the blade and stabbed the eye again.
"DIE!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, repeatedly plunging the blade into the mutant's left eye. His whole face and uniform were soon covered in green blood, and the ground beneath them was slick with it.
He finally pulled the blade from the left eye and repeated the process on the second eye.
[Soul points: 40/100]
[Soul points: 30/100]
Silas made sure to activate Lightning Dash to keep the mutant sluggish while he kept stabbing the eyes over a hundred times. He continued piercing the eyes, screaming at the top of his lungs, until he finally received the notification he had been waiting for.
[Congratulations, you have slain the god of the realm]
[Congratulations, you have completed the last processing quest]
Silas landed gracefully on the floor after receiving the notification. The mutant stood tall for a few moments before collapsing, and the entire chamber shook as its gigantic body hit the floor.
