Chapter 933: Suffocating Tablet (1/2)

With every sound he uttered, his Sonic Radar activated relentlessly, giving him a detailed outlook of his surroundings. Whatever his Sonic Radar bounced off of, everything was mapped out and formed a three-dimensional image in Krune's mind.

And now, he noticed a dagger-shaped hook fly straight at him. As he ducked, it slammed into the rock he was resting on, cracking it a little as the knife-like hook was lodged almost until its hilt. It showed the sheer power it contained as it was thrown by the Mutant Monster Gecko.

Even though the surroundings were dark, both parties were able to move without trouble. Krune relied on his Sonic Radar to move around while the Mutant Monster Gecko seemed to be perceiving the thermal image of its surroundings. Different methods were used for the same purpose. Who knows which one was better in this instance.

As the place was a warm area, its thermal imagery functioned without any problems, outlining Krune's figure clearly. The knife-shaped hook flew out as the Mutant Monster Gecko reeled in its fishing rod, not even grabbing hold of the hook as it used the momentum to launch another attack.

And this time, it curled its wrists a little, adding a hoop in the threat that coursed through it, transferring the force to the hook that made a curve in the air and targeted Krune, making it harder for him to defend.

Left with not much choice, Krune could only double-tap his glabella in a hurry as the hook slammed into it with tremendous force, knocking him back as the tablet fell out of his grasp. Krune rolled on the floor, taking a second before the Mutant Monster Gecko could launch a second attack, hurriedly double tapping on the tablet the moment he grabbed hold of it.

As it vanished into his glabella, he summoned it again, defending against another attack, grunting as he slid on the rock floor. Leaving his hold over the tablet, he pulled out his Whale Tooth Dagger and slashed downward onto the thread, intending to cut it.

Sadly, the Mutant Monster Gecko was much faster, reeling it back immediately, which caused him to only hit the air. He retracted the tablet and began to run, jumping behind a bone tree as the hook lodged into it, almost peeking out on the other side.

As the Mutant Monster Gecko pulled the hook, the stem of the bone tree snapped as it fell. Krune had vanished behind another bone tree by then, hiding as he tried to calm his thumping heart that felt like it would burst out of his chest.

He didn't have any ranged attacks. As for close combat, he didn't have the guts to attempt that just yet. After all, the Mutant Monster Gecko was more than twice his height. Considering the sheer power behind its ripped muscles, one hit was enough to snap his body in half.

His life was in danger. A single mistake would result in his death. But as for his opponent, his attacks might not be fatal in any way. There was just too much difference in their physique.

Krune slid on the rock floor, flinching when the edge of the knife-shaped hook scraped past his stomach, causing him to bleed. He hurriedly slipped behind another tree, hearing the sounds of a tree trunk getting snapped as the Mutant Monster Gecko was closing in on him.

'I have to destroy its fishing rod first. Otherwise, my problems will never end. I might really die here,' Krune thought as he shouted, ”Hey you, damn lizar…”

Though, before he could finish his taunt, a hook flew his way, penetrating the bone tree he was hiding behind. He hurriedly used his tablet to defend it, sliding 10 centimeters back before stopping. As he had defended the same quite a few times already, and as the hook had penetrated through a bone tree trunk before hitting him, the Mutant Monster Gecko was a tad slower in recalling it this time.

Krune pushed the tablet on the tree trunk's side, making the hook coil around it partially as he slashed forth with his dagger. At the same time, the Mutant Monster Gecko pulled the hook back, raising the tension in the thread.

The force caused the hook to lodge into the side of the trunk while his dagger slashed onto a part of the thread. As the tension in it increased, it snapped as the Mutant Monster Gecko stumbled from the lack of force, hitting a bone tree on its back.

It then looked at its fishing rod that had no hook now, looking at the cut at the end of the thread. Followed by a growl, it coiled the thread around the fishing rod, now wielding it like a club as it sprinted immediately, moving with a lot of momentum.

Krune bolted with a start, hastily getting into motion upon seeing its imposing approach. He quickly ran through the forest, deliberately taking narrow paths that were okay for him to run through but were small for the Mutant Monster Gecko.

Unexpectedly, the Mutant Monster Gecko just smashed through them like they were nothing. Moreover, there wasn't even a reduction in its imposing momentum. It was like a raging tidal wave, unstoppable.
