Bernard thought since the Dracoscourge was there, it meant she was finally done giving birth to her eggs which also means even if he wanted to run away he couldn't because the demon beast had already discovered him, and at the same time he had no other choice but to take care of the demon beast if he wanted to even think about escaping.
Unbeknownst to Bernard that on a grade seven planet, even a high tier demon beast wasn't the strongest tier they could only be said to be near the peak of truly powerful demon beasts, and there were more powerful and dangerous demon beasts that were more terrifying than they even looked.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about running away by using Dash and Sprint to make an escape, it was simply because of the demon beast in front of him although a lonewolf was described as Kings of basic tier demon beasts, even if he managed to make a run for it and head outside.
The demon beast could just scream at it loudest and then command the demon beast in the areas to attack him, which wouldn't be good considering how dangerous it would be if that were to happen, and it was needless to say that was one thing he was trying to avoid, a siege of demon beasts.
Bernard couldn't help but look around as he thought of what could give him an edge over his situation, that was when he spotted the basic tier demon beast that had been cleaved into two, looking at the way it was cleaved in half without much resistance.
He could tell the Dracoscourge was extremely powerful not just that even the claws were as strong as some high tier beast weapons, the thought of having to face such powerful claws made him shiver, the more he looked at it the more he realize how much he needed to avoid getting hit by those claws.
[Dash has been deactivated]
Bernard looked at the system message, at this moment he was left with 85 energy points since using Dash had taken a significant amount of his energy points, and at most, he would be able to activate Dash seventeen times more during the fight.
However, that wasn't considering the fact he had other skills that were energy base since he needed to avoid using his blood base as much as possible, already he was running out of blood anything that made him use any blood base skills or abilities would now be a double edge sword to him.
At this moment the floor began to vibrate, as Bernard raised his head he could see the Dracoscourge creature that was at least three times taller than he was, walking towards him with a large stride.
Bernard closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, as he did this he immediately let out his perception that was now five meters long letting it spread out around him forming what would be a domain, while at the same time his fingers began to flow with blood, as they made their way to cover the tips of his fingers turning to what would be somewhat real cat claws.
When the demon beast saw this it couldn't help but turned its head to look at Bernard as if it was wondering what the fuck he was doing since it could see the tiny creature in front of it had bloody claws on its hands, however, that wasn't it could also sense a slight danger that was coming from it, immediately the demon beast started to charge at him Bernard this time with full speed, the wings on Dracoscourge back began to flap.
Bernard immediately felt his vampire instinct start to scream at him, however just as he was wondering why his vampire instinct was screaming at him again that was when he saw the Dracoscourge which was several meters away from him suddenly appear right in front of him with it claw cleaving down at him with full speed.
There was a look of disbelief on Bernard's expression, as he saw the demon beast arrive in front of him he didn't even have the time to think about why his perception wasn't able to detect the demon beast when it had entered his detection range, at this moment he knew better than anyone what would happen if he didn't avoid the claws that were coming down at him with full speed.
Although he panicked a little when he saw the demon beast suddenly appear in front of him, he wasn't worried as he activated Dash and shouted out four words of his mouth."Meow Meow Cat Strike!"
Hoping he would be able to avoid the demon beast and at the same time do some damage to it, although he was able to activate Dash successfully when he was about to be cut in two however the same thing couldn't be said for Meow Meow Cat Strike, just from the feeling he got while using Meow Meow Cat Strike Bernard could tell it had become more powerful, this time not only was it faster than before. The claws it released were also more powerful, although thin but were extremely sharp than they used to be.
The fact the level had increased to level two spoke volumes when he used it, together with his strength and perception which not only strengthened the power behind the attack but perception also made it gain more precision, overall it wasn't like anything like when it was level 1.
However, to his greatest surprise, all of that did nothing to it, as the demon beast raised both its claws and easily blocked the Meow Meow Cat Strike without much effort.
Bernard couldn't help but squint his eyes, although when Meow Meow Cat Strike had struck the claws the demon beast was pushed back a couple of steps backward, but that was all there was to it because he could not see any damage, even a barely one-inch mark that he made quickly disappeared.
It was at this moment realization dawned on him, as he looked at the claws again and then the body of the demon beast properly and he noticed something that was odd about it, on most parts of the demon beast body he noticed there was an extra layer of skeleton that if one didn't look at it well, they wouldn't be noticed.
It was an exoskeleton shell that the demon beast had grown on its body, which meant at this moment the demon beast had two layers of skeleton, and before anything would be able to touch its main flesh or harm it the attacks would have to pass through the two layers of shells.
