Chapter 41 (2/2)
“Puak!” Gla.s.ses couldn't even think of attacking me with his spare arm.
“Well, maybe you can break it someday.” Gla.s.ses started babbling.
Jing!
“But are you looking at your health bar? Do you know what is funny? I was doing this earlier but your fists are a lot faster.”
Jing!
“Maybe seven years in the future…”
Jjejeok!
”……!”
Finally. There was a slightly different sound. I swung a fist again.
Jing!
Peeok!
This time, another sound could be heard at the same time. Gla.s.ses noticed it as well and frowned. Why, was he starting to feel impatience? But it didn't matter. His techniques were terrible. One hand was being held so he couldn't punch effectively.
Jing!
Peeok!
“W-What th…”
”Now.”
Gla.s.ses felt something strange. No matter how bad my punches were, the rate of my health decreasing was somewhat slow.
[Current Balance: 248/625. Decelerated state – Leg (50%).]
[Current Balance: 251/625. Decelerated state – Leg (50%).]
”H… Health…”
It was going up with every punch.
Jing!
Jjejeok!
Akka. I was able to tell by the moans that Macho hadn't died. It was little by little, but my stamina was continuously recovering. Macho was bleeding from the neck. In other words, the damage I dealt him was coming back to me as health due to the Essence of the Leech.
Jing!
Jjejeok!
The vial I threw before? I thought I needed to recover more health so I threw it. Even if he died, I would receive a certain amount of talent. Even if he didn't die and drank potions, he would be a great source of health. Anyway, Macho was supplying me with health.
Jing!
Jjejejeok!
”Heok…”
At last. The helmet was broken and the face of the stricken Gla.s.ses appeared.
“I waited a long time.” I stretched out my fist.
Jjak!
'Jjak?' Jjak? The sound wasn't due to my fist hitting something. It came from my wrist. The sound came from it being cut.
”Hah… Hah…” Gla.s.ses smiled with satisfaction as he looked at my wrist.
”Don't worry.”
I turned my gaze towards his arm. He was still holding the knife firmly. It was a very good move. Now I had lost the function of one of my wrists.
Seuk.
There was no resistance as my wrist was neatly cut off. A smooth section remained in the place where my hand was.
”What?” Gla.s.ses thought I was crazy. His face showed that.
Gla.s.ses looked at me.
“When I think about it, this happened on the first floor.” I muttered.
”…!?”
As Gla.s.ses made an expression like he didn't understand, I punched him in the face. I didn't use the smooth section.
First hit. Second hit. Third hit. On the fourth hit, Gla.s.ses stopped breathing.
”Huu.”
As words rose up, I approached Macho who was writhing on the floor. “Thanks again for everything in the meantime.” He was a great source of health. I raised a fist and finished him off. Similar words popped up. Among the words, there were some that stuck out.

TL Note: I actually felt better a few days ago but being sick has made me fall really behind on my schoolwork. There is still a bit left, so the schedule for the rest of the week will be irregular. Basically, whenever I finish a chapter. The regular schedule will resume starting from next week.
