Chapter 223: I Can Run On Air Too!
Chapter 223: I Can Run On Air Too!
It's hurt!
My body hurts! From that claw attack and that backfist attack, and the bite on my shoulder! Everything is painful!
I still managed to use the Blobbies to wrap them tightly around my shoulder as well. But my right arm is still painful to move. At least the Blobbies will help me move my shoulder.
I snapped Uncle Spear again and pocketed them to use later.
This time, I made another finger snapping gesture again with my left hand. Seeing that gesture, Grandpa Werewolf who was about to charge at me moves sideways. He's afraid that he will be distracted again by the smell.
I don't have any intention on using that magic again. I only made that gesture to stall for time to cool my head from the pain. They are too painful and I need a while to rest. Good thing Grandpa Werewolf got baited by my finger snap.
I don't need to snap my finger to let out that smell, it's just a distraction. And it's useful to trick him.
The pain is still there on my shoulder and my chest, but I somehow managed to keep a cool head and prepare for a counter.
I snapped my fingers while Grandpa Werewolf is on the move. Then noticing that there is no smell at all, he must have thought that he escaped from the area I made that smell, but I haven't done anything yet.
The real smelly gas is already in front of me. Right where Grandpa Werewolf is coming. He's not prepared to smell it right there, so he was distracted by the smell.
I used that chance to get some distance and grabbed Victoria who was thrown by his bite. I can just summon her to me, but I won't do that to reserve my mana.
I transformed Victoria into a Desert Eagle, and some Blobbies to do the same. Now I'm equipped with guns on both hands. Using other Blobbies as bullets, I compress the air inside the guns and shot them toward Grandpa Werewolf.
I shot a bullet once with the Blobbygun on my right, then shot another one with Victogun on my left while compressing air on Blobbygun and reloading the bullet, then I shot with my Blobbygun again and do the same with Victogun. I keep repeating the process.
Using Blobbies are really convenient. It seems as if I have unlimited bullets. And I can attack from a safe distance. Although the Aura I pour to those bullets doesn't last long, it was still quite effective since the Blobbybullets are sharp and pointy, and I had them spin very fast.
They don't pierce Grandpa Werewolf's fur, but it's still enough to damage him. Only enough to damage his skin. And since I shot rapidly non-stop, he has no choice but to defend. I have enough time to rest while he's defending.
But this isn't enough to defeat Grandpa Werewolf.
I keep shooting until I feel like I can move better. Then I threw away Blobbygun to the ground and transform Victoria into a whip.
I attacked the whip, not to damage Grandpa. But to wrap it around his limb.
Grandpa tried to block my whip with his hand, so I had Victoria moves the whip and wrap it around his hand. Then while grabbing Victowhip, I leaped toward Grandpa and shrink the whip at the same time to make myself faster.
Mid-flight, I pulled my other hand and makes it as if I'm about to throw a punch at his head. Grandpa tried to block my punch with the other hand which is not being wrapped, but the punch never comes.
It was because I changed into a kick. When Grandpa's hand is in front of his head, I move my body so my feet will reach him first. And then with both my feet landed on his chest, Grandpa Werewolf blown away. And since the kick hit straight on his bleeding chest, the damage is doubled.
While he's mid-flight, my hand still holding onto Victowhip. Then I swung the whip around and spin. Grandpa Werewolf were spun around, and then I throw him to a certain place. The place where Angela used Ground Spikes before.
I aimed Grandpa at the spike which was protruding diagonally at us. I didn't let go of the whip from his hand, I just make the whip extendable.
Grandpa's back hit the spike right on his spine. But only the spike got destroyed. Even his spine is so damn strong!
But since the whip is still connecting us, I shrunk the whip again and use both my feet again to kick him. The Ground Spike got destroyed. Then I see his hand is reaching toward the whip wrapping his hand! He must have wanted to throw me the same way!
"Victoria, release!"
In panic, I shouted to have Victoria release Grandpa. I don't need to shout it out, but I guess I panicked too much.
Grandpa slowly stands up and walk out of the destroyed Ground Spikes. Damn! How could he stay that calm!
But still, old age has taken its toll on him. He looks extremely exhausted. I still have a chance to win!
"Roy… you aren't like any other Aura users I have fought. Not even the one I lost against. But you are much more of a genius than him even though you're weaker. But that's makes this fight even more interesting!" Grandpa shouted.
"Well, I'm not happy at all! Can't you just drop dead already!?"
Even with the two of us talking, no one watching interested in our chat. They are already realized that this is a real deathmatch with both our lives on the line.
The Werewolves looked intensely at Grandpa Werewolf trying to learn everything they can from him in his very last fight.
As for the humans… they all looked worried now. They finally realize that I'm not joking when I said I might lose and die. The girls have tears down on their cheeks, but none of them take off their eyes from me. Well, everyone except Angela.
I don't know if she's not worried at all or have complete faith in me. I think she's the one who believed me from the first place that I might die. She's an idiot after all, and I told her to not think too much and just believe in what we say. So, she must have believed from the start that I might really die.
Even Albert looks so worried. I hope if I win, he will give me less work to do.
Now then, what to do? Should I enter extremely close combat again? That will only give him chance to counter attack since he has experienced it.
I'm about to shot Grandpa Werewolf again, but then he used his long-distance attack! He swung his arms in a cross shape, and it targeted at me. I can only jump to dodge it.
He finally used his Wind Slash-like attack. Then while I'm mid-air, I tried to shoot at him again, but he quickly run on air. And not straight at me. He moves in a zig-zag manner. I can't hit him with that speed of his.
But at least he loves close quarter combat more than attacking from distance. Which is good for me.
He then gets close to me while I'm still mid-air, and about to slash his claws at me, but I used Air Steps to move mid-air and dodge.
"You can run on air as well?"
"You're not the only special one!"
I dodged by jumping to above him, then I made another step right above me. I stepped on it with while upside down, and kicked the air powerfully and dropped down very fast. I transformed Victoria into a gauntlet again, put all my strength on my left, and punch Grandpa down from above!
With the speed I'm falling, the force of my punch, and gravity helping as well, Grandpa fall to the ground headfirst.
Then I made another step, and make my fall even faster as I aimed my knee at Grandpa Werewolf's head. The impact creates a crater in the middle of the Arena.
I hope this is my chance to win.
Like before, I pummeled him down again and again. But since my right shoulder is injured badly, I only attacked with my left.
Of course Grandpa can counter it this time. He forces himself to stand up, and charged his body toward me! A Body Slam!
It's not an attack I would imagine a Werewolf would do, so even though I saw his muscle movement, I did not expect it and unable to dodge in time.
I got blown away, but I tried to fix my balance on air and landed safely on the ground. But that blow hit my chest square and blood is coming out of the gap of the Blobbies Bandages. The red blood painted my waist down to my feet.
Again, it's too painful! I'm lucky to still be able to stay conscious with this much pain!
But there's a good thing. Right now, I'm in the right position where I can use my trump card.
This will be my very last attack!
