Chapter 99 The Great Hunt 20 (1/2)

After a few seconds of struggle, the fire caused by the inflammable substance inside the Incendiary Grenade, was gone and the Ixodoom was completely enraged by John now.

It charged at John in the second the pain on its back stopped.

The creature wanted nothing more than kill the little human that dared to hurt it at such extent.

John did successively jumps to the side wanting to dodge the incoming charge.

*Whoosh*

The charge he was able avert, but...

*Bam*

”Puh....” John was sent flying spraying a mouthful of blood by the Ixodoom's scythe that moved at a blinding speed.

*Bam*

”*Cough*...” John coughed more blood as he had hit a tree bark.

*Splash*

His head was dizzy and his body momentarily weak. He fell directly on the small pound of water that was beneath the tree.

The attack came out too sudden that he didn't have the time to even think of activating the Barrier Tech that he has.

He didn't even had the chance to recover himself when he felt his senses tingling, warning of the impending danger.

Gritting his teeth, he recovered some strength and rolled to the side.

*Splat*

In the place where he just have been, there nothing more than a small crater that was soon filled with water from pound.

The Ixodoom's acid that made the crater, proved its strength.

If the green ball of acid had managed to hit John, he would be just a pound of melted flesh and bones by now.

Cold sweat dripped from his back as he thought of the possible sad ending if he wasn't fast enough to roll.

He cleaned the corner of his mouth that had blood dripping from it and grimly looked at the Ixodoom that appeared to be preparing itself to do something.

[Nuru...where are you?] John thought while he struggled to keep himself on his feet.

The armor on his chest has a huge, deep, diagonal slash mark on it, caused by the Ixodoom's scythe.

Before he could properly stand, John saw that the Ixodoom had spit a ball of green liquid toward him.

He was having difficulty to even stand, so he had no other choice than using the Tech Ability.

*Tsssshh*

The moment the ball of acid was about to his John, a dome of that looked to be made of transparent blue glass appeared around John.

John's PIPS was able to store up to 300 UE, together with his Scavenger's Set of Armor, which in total provide 900 UE of storage, he had a total of 1200 UE that he could use.

To activate the Barrier Tech Ability he had to pay a initial price of 100 UE to form the forcefield.

The acid was blocked by the forcefield, further dropping John's UE to only 900 UE, from the previous 1100 UE that he had after using 100 to activate the shield.

*Swish*

But it was in this moment that a string of web suddenly was shot from the Ixodoom and had John's Barrier.

*Bam*
