353 I failed this time
Chris stared helplessly at the monster that kept chasing him. Although his attack earlier that severed the monster’s head look effortless. It consumed thirty percent of his degu energy just to release one. So he can’t really do it effortlessly and release without care. And just as he thought of this, he felt the movement of space thirteen meters away.
Without hesitating for a second, he immediately teleported far away from his place. He knew that if he didn’t have a teleportation ability, he would have already died by now. Now, after using his teleportation ability back and forth. His degu energy was already running low. After all, he has only A rank degu energy capacity now.
‘It seems I need to take the initiative.’ Chris lets the space energy from his body flow through the katana.
Then he waved his hand multiple times. White and sharp crescent sword energies appeared. He aimed it at the vital parts of the monster. Although he knew that the vital parts of the monster weren’t necessarily the same as that of humans.
These attacks weren’t the same as his first attack, which severed the head of the monster, as they just blinked, and appears two meters every two seconds. It could be said that it was faster than speed-based attacks, as they directly used space as their medium, instead of normal attacks that used air as the medium.
‘So he can’t really do that attack continuously?’ Brick Norty sensed and saw crescent sword energies blink, and as they gradually closed the distance. “Although your attacks might get others, In the face of absolute speed, it’s nothing but nonsense!”
As these arrogant words came out of Brick Norty’s mouth. He infused a large amount of degu energy on the blades of his arms and swung it towards the incoming attacks.
THUD!
Just like that, the air compressed, and a white straight line split the sword’s energies, It only took two seconds but it was unable to resist the power of the attacks that came from a monster that was far too strong than an A rank peak.
.....
‘A child’s play.’ Brick Norty’s lips curled upwards. Then his feet dug into the ground and gathered force on his legs.
The floor cracked like a spiderweb, and his body disappeared with a bang. A strong air current was produced and an explosion in the air was created.
Brick Norty stared at Chris, whose body was about to disappear. He knew at this moment that his attack would miss again. Even though he was fast... He’s not fast enough to reach his current opponent. He knew that he can only do it if he could attack at a speed of less than a second.
So as he predicted... Chris’s body just vanished like a projection. His hands pierced through the air.
‘Damn, I’m running out of degu energy.’ Chris’s breathing became labored, and he felt that he was running out of air in his lungs. And he closed his eyes from tired after overexerting himself.
Thinking of this, Cris used all the remaining degu energy on his body. He looked at the rock far away and stimulated his space energy and the rock appeared on his palms.
Then he swept his eyes on all the people in the stadium with a helpless expression. “I already did my best. But if I stay here, I’ll just die. Forgive me but Adios!”
Just like that, Chris appeared on top of a mountain one hundred kilometers away from the stadium. He fell to the ground on his knees with a pale face. “I failed this time.”
...
The people were dumbfounded at Chris’ sudden disappearance. Even Brick Norty froze in his place for a second. ‘Did he run out of energy? Well, I’ll just gonna find him in the future and kill him.’
“T-this... We are now down to two degu users already, just like that.” Lucian took a deep breath.
In such a short time, the forty-eight degu users turned into forty-six. One died, while one escape.
Eugene shook his head. “It’s understandable. Cris already did his best, but he was running low on degu energy, and running being drained of our energy is quite fatal. What’s more, in front of a killing machine. He just escaped since even if he stays, he wouldn’t be able to help much and he might die in that state.”
“Well, that’s true. He only shows four ability applications in his battle, though. Short-distance teleportation, teleporting his attacks, making the objects teleport to him, and long-distance teleportation. So what are the other two? And did he not use it?” Lucian asked the doubts in his mind.
Eugene smiled. “Who knows? You’re actually wrong. He already showed all his six ability applications...”
“Are sure? What’s the other two?”
“He could sense the movements and activities in space. As for why he didn’t use the remaining one... Bullshit! He used it after the fight started. Are you blind? How come you didn’t see his first attack?” Eugene looked at Lucian with derision.
‘Oh... The attack that severed the monster’s head? Then it’s really six.’ As this thought occurred to him. Lucian felt embarrassed.
“We’re really dead this time. The monster is too strong! One of the strongest had already ditched us because he couldn’t beat the monster.” A six-foot man with a bulging tummy said in a panic.
The fats on his body trembled. He was dressed in merchants’ clothes, and he has a gold watch on the wrist of his right hand.
‘This fucker is trying to cause a panic,’ Lucian saw through the intentions of the other party.
Just as he thought... The civilians were affected and looked at the monster fearfully. Some of them took a step back. The light of hope in their eyes began to diminish due to the uncertainty.
“Can we really survive? The monster manages to scare the second strongest into the group!”
“Well, even if that’s the case. We’re just regular people. We are powerless. Our life depends on the degu users now. Do you think we can do anything to solve the current situation? Even if we cry or complain. Do you think it will change anything?” A man with glasses that looked like a professor questioned.
The surrounding people became silent as they heard his questions and began to ponder about them.
