Chapter 50 The Boss Of The Second Floor (4)

There were many changes that occurred because of his breakthrough. Like getting two skill points and three stat points all at once, similar to when he first became a Vigor knight.

His vigor had not only increased in quantity, it had completely transformed into a much more advanced form. Although he didn't test it yet, he could simply tell.

Two of his passive skills increased by a level, [Vitality] and [Vetaran's hunch]. And he finally got his first active skill!

As if that was not enough he could actually use EXP to level up active skill. This meant that skill point were better off spent on passive skills.

Esdras didn't immediately get in to fight the boss despite the urge that almost overwhelmed him. He held back because his body had become almost foreign to him.

This was too great of a change that happened in too short a time.

So, he forced himself to get some exercise. It was only now that he knew how lucky he was to escape from the scavenger.

By his estimation, even five of his former self wouldn't have won if the scavenger used his Dulling mist earlier.

Clearly this thing was not a pure monster as it had some kind of mechanical aspect to it.

Shacking off these thoughts he dragged along his mace and jumped through the gate.

The scavenger had returned to stacking and disintegrating bodies even with one of it's legs lost. This was a better result than he expected, he thought it might have some kind of method to reattach it or something.

As soon as he entered the room the boss turned around and fired another shot of Dulling mist in the area around it indiscriminately, this tactic effectively kept Esdras at a distance.

On the other hand the monster was also forced to stay in place when it was firing the mist.

If Esdras could cast some spells he could have attacked and finished the job there and then but he was not a True mage yet.

But, he was not powerless either, seeing a chance he rotated his mace in his hands. At first it was slow but soon it was much faster than a modern fan, the mist around him scattered.

The scavenger couldn't keep releasing that mist for a long time.

Suddenly Esdras turned into several thin lines and vanished, his newfound speed was on full display as he crossed ten meters in two seconds.

The two arms of the scavenger shot at him, the monster was not ordinary either. Each palm was like the harbinger of death, capable of unleashing unreasonable force.

However Esdras dodged each one and they both shot forward once again in unpredictable directions and bending in freaky angles.

Esdras narrowed his eyes at the annoying interruption and used a tested strategy.

He grabbed hold onto one of the arms after it struck the ground, after brushing by his side, and held it in place.

The other hand attempted to attack him then, he smirked, this is what he wanted to see. Quickly, he changed his position behind the arm while still holding it down.

The monster attacked itself in screeching collision, Esdras looked at the result. It was fractured, evidently that hit was not strong enough to destroy it at once, luckily he was ready to solve that issue.

As if realization dawned on the construct it tried to pull back, however it was already too late.

The mace glowed with Vigor and radiated sky-blue light that turned into an arc of blinding light.

That was one of the major changes in the Vigor core realm, in this stage he was able to channel vigor outside of his body and into his weapon for increased attack power.

The attack destroyed the fractured arm with no resistance whatsoever, it was already in a bad shape, but didn't stop there. The vigor arc traveled in the air and shattered the other arm too.

Esdras was not about to let the momentum you painstakingly built, go to waste with a single step. He was closer than ever to the main body of the monstrous scavenger.

He channeled his vigor throughout his whole body, with ease, bringing his physical and mental condition to a peak. The air was as if it was split with a sword.

And yet, when he was about to land the finishing blow, he hesitate. It was an instinctive reaction.

The scavenger begun to glow with an eerie light, the green glow similar to the to the one within its own eyes, covered with remainder of its body like a protective shell, and yet he had seen it before.

Without a doubt if he came into contact with it, even for a very short moment, the damage would not be something that a low level health wash, and could heal.

However, he could not retreat now the speed at which he was going, would not allow him perhaps if he had taken a longer time to get to know his body better he might have been able to do something about it.

But there was no such thing, as if in this world.

He could feel it in the air, the tension or an unbelievable amount of pressure surround the two of them.

With a bloodthirsty grin, Esdras pointed his mace in the same way he was going to from the beginning. This was not a gamble. He knew what he was doing.

"[Penetrating Vigor!]"

With that roar, his momentum doubled and vigor within his core with unleashed territorial wave and yet it was in complete harmony with his body.

The Vigor around the mace turned into a perfect line surrounding the mace in a moment, as opposed to the chaotic form it was in before. Now it looked like the work of a master sculptor.

The Shocking spark around the scavenger was not trivial at all, it defended against the skill and held on for ten seconds before it gave in.

The breaking of the steel stone construct was not in a loud explosion. Instead it was a clean cut, like a hot knife through butter.
