Chapter 2-14. Last-minute battle

We keep a certain distance from each other and move sideways.

I found out that my opponent knew my position, so I dismissed the fog.

It doesn't make sense if the opponent has sensing skills, and it's a waste of MP.

From now on, it will be a close combat without any tricks. Since I cut off it's arm earlier, it knew that if I had a herculean jaw, and the attack worked on it.

The other party knows that, so it should be wary of my biting attacks.

"Gorurururu"

"Sha~h"

I just wanted to talk.

After all, only this kind of voice comes out.

The opponent doesn't have one arm, so be careful with the other arm.

Just because one arm is gone doesn't mean that it's attack power is reduced.

I'd like to cut off it's other arm if possible, but ... it would be difficult.

Gobokk clasped the soil at his feet.

I didn't know what is it foing that, but I was certain that it would be used as a means of attack, so I immediately activated the [Water Barrier].

By the way, this is the first time I used this skill.

A wall of water appears in front of me.

It's transparent so I can what is in the front ... This is convenient.

Gobokk throws the soil he holds on it's hand and throws it at me.

I wondered if he was desperate, but apparently he attacked by shooting soils like a bullet.

It was meaningless in front of the water barrier, but I can hear the crackling on the ground.

It seems that was so powerful because it makes a sound like that with just some small soils.

Gobokk, who confirmed that I had use the water barrier, attacked again at once.

Probably because it is a muscular body, the instantaneous speed is also fast.

It throw it's fist to break the water barrier with the same momentum with it's speed, but I didn't move at all.

It seems a little surprised because the attack did not pass, but it regained it's mind and hit several shots again. However, the water flow barrier does not move as usual.

This is amazing.

This barrier can actually withstand it's attack?

Though the skill I used is only added Barrier at it's name.

Gobokk gives up and circling around, I tried to attack it.

It seemed that I couldn't move the barrier, so I step to the side to get out from the barrier, and then I jumped.

However, the opponent have sensing skills, so even if I attack from a blindspot position, it didn't even hesitate to counter attack me.

However, I'm doing the same thing, and avoids the opponent's attack without seeing the attack.

However, because Gobokk probably has more experience in combat, It is better at avoiding and counter attack than I am.

I also repeatedly attack and evade, but I get hurt more and more.

Take a distance and use [absorption].

The wound does not heal, but bleeding can be stopped and physical strength can be restored.

However, the drawback is the recovery is a little slow.

Let's just stop bleeding here and carry over the recovery of physical strength.

If I have fully recovered my physical strength, I will run out of MP.

However, if this keep going on, it is not possible to launch a decisive attack.

It's the same with the other party. If I hadn't cut it's one arm, I would probably lost alredy.

Perhaps it has recovered it's strength, Gobokk immediately narrowed the distance and slash it's claws toward me.

However, it is an attack that I have seen many times.

It can't hit me that easy.

I moved my body to the side to avoid the attack.

[Infinite water manipulation]!

As I gradually got used to the attack of this guy, I took a lot of water from the lake and hit it like a tsunami.

It seemed that Gobbok can't ressist this amount of water, and it was rolled into the water.

It hit a tree and stopped, but I hit it again with water.

If possible, I'd like to make the Gobbok can't breathe, but it's difficult to keep moving a lot of water because my MP will be gone.

So, as soon as I stopped the water, water got stuck in Gobbok's throat.

Now that I've managed to restrain it with water, I didn't expect this is going to works.

There is also a sign of Gobbok's still alive.

It didn't jump out like before.

Immediately after that, the water that I sued with [Infinite Water Manipulation] is erased and Gobokk is released from the water pressure.

I aimed and bite, but ... my body was flying in the wrong direction.

Eh?

As soon as Gobok was released from the water pressure and saw me, it shook it's remaining arm and blew me away.

It would have been nice if I could just be hit normally, but it's claws pierced my chest deeply.

G-guah!!!

Apparently my lungs have been damaged and it's very difficult to breathe.

Is it only the remaining left lung that is functioning properly?

I bounced a few times and finally lost momentum.

I try to raise my body, but I can't move well due to severe pain.

I hold my breath.

And I use [Absorption] to stop bleeding even a little, but the wound does not heal.

I have more than enough time to hold my breath.

In the meantime, I have to kill him without moving.

I can't use it unless I get close to use [Herculean Jaw] of all my skills that can used against it.

However, it was difficult for me to move with my current condition.

Looking at the Gobokk, it is kneeling and out of breath.

Apparently, the previous attack was surprisingly effective.

My MP is low ... but ... the next opponent's attack will definitely end me.

First of all, I had to keep it away with a small amount of MP. 

Use the water again and wrap it this time.

This time I'm just restraining it, so it doesn't consume much MP, but ... I don't know how long this will last.

Gobokk is also rampaging around and desperately swinging it's arms so that the water does not come close to his face.

If I don't think about something during this time, I will die for sure.

...... Should I just give up?

No, I will never give up.

We promised to go up to the ground and meet him.

Am I going to die in this kind of place?

However, I wonder if that guy can push himself with his own defense.

I envy him after all.

I don't know. I relly miss him!

Don't think that kind of thought before I died!

But ... how can I avoid this situation?

Perhaps the water that I manipulated will lose its effectiveness in a few minutes.

Because I'm going ran out of MP ... If my MP runs out, I lose.

Even if I win, I may be worried about the rest.

This wound ... will it heal?

Well, I think that if I eat Gobokk and evolve, my body will be reformed and healed ... eat the Gobokk?

Wait a minute?

Where is the arm that I just cut off! ?? K-kuh!

I tried to move my body, but I still couldn't moove fast because of the severe pain.

So, look for the arm that was cut off by using the Haze sonar.

It was nearby.

I use my strength to produce a small amount of water.

Then I tried to get the arm and bring it in front of me.

"Gobaaaaaaa!"

At that time, the large amount of water that I was manipulating finally burst.

Is it no longer possible to maintain it?

However, there is no problem as long as I bring it's arm!

The little water lifts Gobbok's arm and brings it in front of me.

However, at that moment Gobok grabbed my tail, swung it in the air, and threw me again.

I couldn't move and resist, and I was thrown again while the severed arm is in my mouth.

This time I hit a rock and it hurt very much.

It's attack power is really not to be underestimated.

But ... I was convinced of the victory at that time.

Thank you for the meal.

I have gained experience points. LV is now MAX. Evolution is possible]

I managed to bite the arm and scrape the meat at that time.

If I hadn't recovered my strength by eating meat, I would have died in the previous attack.

It's really close.

Alright, the voice of heaven! This time is a rush evolution! Tell me where to evolve!

===============

―Evolution destination―

>EarthSnakeWaveSnake<

===============

Oh, is that upward compatible with the MudSnake?

Then I'll take the EarthSnake!

Evolution begins in no time.

There was no pain, so it turned out to be a race evolution.

The body became bigger and the antennae changed to horns.

The surface of the body is almost the same, but the feeling of thickening the skin is transmitted.

The wounds on my chest are completely closed.

After all, when it evolves, it seems that the body will be rebuilt and the wounds will heal.

Check the status later!

Now, Imma kick this mothersnakeing ass!
