113 The true winners (2/2)

But seeing through their ploy was easy. Far aside from the obvious plot of the damsel in distress and the jealous admirer. Why did she focus on talking to Tom instead of focussing her eyes on her ”saviour”? She did not even heed my advice to cover-up.

I had never been her target from the getgo, her true target is the gullible man who falls for their carnal desires. If I have the time I should open a brothel if it is that easy. Though I have got to pay respect where it is due, I did not anticipate that there is someone who takes advantage out of their looks to get whatever she is after.

The truly fascinating aspect is not her actions but the minions she has hired. Their wounds have healed after ingesting all of that flesh into their stomachs. I think they even got a stronger just be eating them. Utilizing them I truly could have created peerless monsters, but it was not meant to be. They are the true winners here, they got to eat for free.

” So, what are you waiting for? Go and kill so more monsters for me. Of course, we are going to find someone with no ulterior motive for you”

Tom did not hesitate to run off after hearing my words. Finally, I had my peace and serenity back. Instead of going insane on my own I had something to do this time around. Although I might have missed out on the flesh that had been devoured by someone else, they have saved me a lot of work by letting the clean bones behind.

I finally can start making some weapons for my endeavour. The best part is that there are a lot of bones, so I will have a lot of fun. I should start with something simple. Those NPCs had carried some clubs with them, so I will just modify them slightly to make a better out of it.

SImply said a club is nothing more than a tool to hit someone with. There is nothing special about it. Quite literally anything can be used as a club. A thick branch, bones or anything else that is slightly longer than your head and does not break after one use.

Although those bones are a good foundation they are not enough to make a really good weapon. They are nothing more than a blunt weapon, which strongly depends on the user and how it is wielded.

So what if I can lift it, can they do the same? If they lack the strength, then I just have to make sure that they can deal more damage than the clubs of the enemy. That just means that I have to add nails on top of it.

I can decide between using my hair or sharpen bones until they are sharp enough. While my hairs seem better, it is pointless in this kind of scenario. It needs to create big wounds not many small ones. That is why I will use the bones and put them on top of the club.

Using the slime from my body I will make sure, that the sharpened bones will not fall out of the club. This should be enough theory to produce a club for my liking.

The first choice I have to do is to pick up the bone I want to use as a weapon. Since the bones of the monsters are all different I will have to pick the most suitable. The bones in the legs are often the strongest. Take the human, for example, the femur is the strongest bone in the whole skeleton. It has to support the entirety of the weight the human carries with it.

But there is no comparison the bones of a rabbit and an elephant. So I will have to seek for the one bone, that is not too heavy to wield but also not too short for anyone to use. If this horny bastard had not burned away most of the materials I might have a greater variety.

But this is just a prototype to see if my idea is feasible. I can perfect it later either way. I took a random bone out of the pile of leftovers and swung it around a few times. I might have to add a handle later on, but it should work the way I have planned it.

The next problem I had to solve was to crush the bones with my current strength. I aimed and launched it onto the ground to see what kind of result it might have. But to no avail, the bones were more sturdy than I had initially expected. I thought to myself, that once the flesh around it is gone, I could easily split them.

My next idea was to put it diagonally against a wall, so I can break it with a strong kick. But after multiple attempts and much force, the bone remained intact but the wall from the house had given in.

At least I do not have to worry about them breaking any time soon. If they can withstand all of my force then how are NPCs supposed to break it? Should I designate this task to my ants and let them figure it out on their own?

But before I would give in I will have to try my hardest. These bones will not win the fight against me, not if I put my pride on the line. What followed can only be described as madness incarnate. This poor piece of bone had to withstand a vicious onslaught ranging from even more punches and kicks to being thrown to the ground over and over again.

It tried its hardest but even it had to bow down to the sheer insanity that was me. Or that is what I had wanted to proclaim loudly, but this bone was still in one piece and my surroundings were the only thing that had suffered.

The coin that absorbed blood did not show any interest and even using my teeth to gnaw on it did not yield any result. Even putting my body into overdrive was only strenuous in the end. Seems like no matter how much force I muster it is not enough.

I still had one last trick up my sleeve, but I have yet to test it and I might even lose my hand. My overdrive delivers the necessary nutrients all over my body in an equal amount to guarantee that everything is running smoothly, but what if I amass all of those nutrients in one point of my body?

First I will have to put the necessary energy into my shoulders and then transfer it to the arm while it is moving and finally let it end inside of the first on the point of impact.

After throwing out the punch I tried to recall the feeling I have when I am in overdrive and tried to sense it in the areas I wanted it to have before moving my first downwards onto the bone. A loud sound filled the surroundings. I could not suppress a pained cry escaping from my lips, having this sensation on certain body parts is worse if the rest remains unaffected. This partly-overdrive feels horrendous, but looking downwards I could not help but smile a little.

The bone was still as hard as before but I could see a small crack has appeared on its otherwise spotless surface. Although this improvement came at a heavy price as my right hand was currently broken and unusable for the time being.

I have to thank those players, without the prior fight I might have never come up with an idea like this. But it will have to take a lot of work before I can use this method in a normal fight without crippling my hand.

Looking into the distance I saw Tom still smiling happily about the show the female player had given him carrying multiple monster carcasses. Until I have mastered this Tom will have to deliver a lot more corpses to me.

But for the time being, I will just enjoy the taste of some meat. The future will come sooner or later anyway.
