Chapter 102: The knight of the goddess (1/2)

A piece of long plump flesh rapidly shot out from the deeps of the swamp towards him.

Without waiting for it to hit him, he evaded it by leaping to his right. The thing that shot him hit and bore on the grounds.

Yman narrowed his eyes, ”Bingo!” He whispered upon seeing the thing that attacked him.

”Looks like my guess was proven right — A Mutated Kraken!” He yelled and took a sword from his storage. Then he hastily summoned crimson mana from his hand and enveloped the sword.

”Right,” he replied.

Yman abruptly threw it towards the tentacle. The sword traveled the space and hit squarely on the tentacle.

The tip of the sword pierced on it. And the red text -5,000 Hp was visible. ”Dang, it has high defense!” Yman exclaimed.

Sistela's astonish voice rang in his ears.

”On top of that, it's just a tentacle!” Yman added.

The tentacle showed a health bar with 95,000 health points.

The tentacle twitched for seconds then hurriedly unburied itself from the ground. Yet another tentacle shot out rashly.

Sistela shouted a warning.

”Mhm!”

He jumped in the air to dodge. It was followed by a loud ground-crashing sound.

While still in the air. Yman perceived another tentacle coming out from the swamp. No, it's two! Without wasting time, before his body started to descend, he summoned mana on his whole body.

The two tentacles constricted to each other and formed like a massive drill. Then it shot rapidly towards its enemy in the air.

Seeing the drill-like tentacles, any normal human or slightly weaker magician would probably wet their pants at the moment.

However, Yman's body disappeared before the drill tentacles hit him.

The drill tentacles hit empty air.

He reappeared to his position from the last few seconds. His feet landed on the second tentacle that was still on the ground.

”Yeah, it is not the result I want it to be, but I guess for now it is the only I can accomplish,” he replied with a tinge of relief and a little disappointment.

His body teleported to the place where he was standing in the past two seconds ago.

Anyhow, this was the perfect execution he had ever made — no noticeable time lag, kudos to the demon's mana. However, it only let himself transfer within the past 10 seconds ago.

Looks like he needed more practice on it.

In truth, what he wanted to create was a skill that enabled him to do a 'Mock Teleportation'. Although it seemed like he teleported, in actuality, he only did a Time Warp - a kind of time traveling from the past seconds with the assimilation of time and spatial coordinates. It's a failed Mock Teleportation but a good start.

His feet landed on plump meat of the tentacle with a meter thickness.

After his successful execution of Time Warp, the crimson glow dissipated. Then his right hand briefly glowed in crimson. A moment later, the sword that was stuck on the first tentacle suddenly disappeared and reappeared in his hand.

Without wasting time, Yman did a horizontal slash to the tentacle under his feet.

The 1-meter thick tentacle was cut. This happened in just an instant. Only 5 seconds had passed but he already cut one of its tentacles.

The tentacle twitched and he immediately leaped down to the ground.

In his vision, he noticed the damage -25,000. The damage was a lot higher because he applied more strength on his attack.

Yman narrowed his eyes and noticed that the damage would increase depending on the force he applied when he attacked. Thanks to the demon's additional stats, he now had superhuman strength.

However, he narrowed his eyes towards the cut tentacle. Because the health points did not empty.

It then twitched furiously.

Sistela's voice was heard by him.

”I see,” after he replied, just as Sistela said, the cut part had regrown.

Yman grinned because the health points remained 75,000 health points.

”Heh, so I need to empty his health points in order for it to stop regrowing, huh,” he whispered.

The other tentacle had 95,000 health points left. And now it rapidly whipped towards him. Yman leaped backward and successfully dodged it.

Then the newly grown tentacle followed after. Yman evaded while twitching his body, it passed at him about 5 inches from his face.

His perception rang a warning when he noticed a malicious intent from above him. He took a quick glance and saw the drill-like tentacle fast approaching from above him.

It was followed by a loud bang when the drill tentacle hit the ground. Yman's body disappeared and reappeared in the mid-air using his Time Warp.

When he was about to throw the sword in hand, ”Eh?” Yman paused, he noticed that it wasn't in his hand.

He glanced at where he was standing a moment ago and saw the sword was lying on the ground.

Seemingly, what's not with him that time when he was in that position, would never be there when he did the Time Warp.

Since, when he leaped in the air a while ago the sword was still stuck on the first tentacle at that time. So when he reappeared in the mid-air once again the sword was not part of it. It then dropped on the ground when the one holding it suddenly disappeared.

Without wasting more time, a spear materialized in his hand. This was the same spear he bought from Mister Smith's smithing shop.

He then threw the spear and pierced deeply to the tentacle with 75,000 Health points.

-7,000 hp was subtracted on it. Now its current health point was 68,000.

Yman disappeared from mid-air once again and appeared beside the drill-like tentacle. Right after he disappeared in mid-air, another tentacle shot out from the swamp and pierced the space where he was supposed to be a split second ago.

The fight continued with him disappearing and reappearing.
