A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 109: (2)

“It’s impossible to directly confront him. Let’s do what I can for now.”

What he could do right now was to buy as much time as possible.

As he maximized his Thought acceleration and senses simultaneously, Kaiyan’s head throbbed as if it could explode at any moment, and he pictured in his mind how the creature would attack.

Kwaaaah! Kwaaaah!

He relied on momentary predictions and moved his body just narrowly avoiding the tentacles that passed by perilously close.

The missed tentacles pounded the ground and dug in, quickly rushing toward Canien.

“I don’t know if this will work! Huhaaap!”

The size of the Aura swing was minuscule compared to the creature’s size, but…

Kwaaaah!

Fwoosh!

Its explosive power was dozens of times greater compared to its size.

The Aura swing that hit the creature’s face exploded, scattering flames and Waves of Aura in all directions.

“What got caught…”

“Hahaha! What’s with this ticklish attack? Is this the best you’ve got?”

As the dust cloud caused by the explosion of the creature’s roar disappeared, an unscathed face emerged.

No matter how monstrous it was, it hadn’t received any damage from the Aura swing.

“…Insane.”

Even with the most powerful attack he could muster, there seemed to be no way to defeat the creature right now.

“In an emergency, maybe a magic scroll from the shop…”

Just as he was urgently trying to summon the shop interface, the creature sent dozens of tentacles flying. Each one was the size of a minotaur, making it impossible to evade them all.

Without thinking, he leaped into action, pounding the ground to move his body.

Kwaaaah! Kwaaaah!

“Ugh…”

Even though he was using momentary predictions, the intervals for avoiding the tentacles were gradually decreasing. There were still more than ten tentacles left.

At this rate, even with his full power, he could only evade the tentacles two or three times at most.

Kwaaaah!

“Kyahahaha! You insect! Die!”

“I can’t avoid this! I’ll counter it!”

In the distance, the tentacles that had completely closed the gap flew towards him, and Kaiyan reluctantly extended his sword towards them.

It was an unavoidable situation, knowing it was impossible to counter. If he could hide in the dimension space, he would have done so, but even that wasn’t an option due to the creature’s dominating presence in the surroundings.

Against the creature’s attack, Kaiyan had chosen to use Penetrating Stab.

“Huup! Haaap! Penetrating Stab!”

As the tentacles rapidly approached, creating an intense wind pressure, he extended his sword forward.

Squish! Clang!

Kwaaaah!

“Kraaack!”

Upon colliding with the tentacles, he felt an immense shock, and his body soared into the sky.

He had expected it, but as expected, with his current strength, he couldn’t withstand the creature’s attack.

With a tremendous pain he hadn’t felt in a long time, blood sprayed from his mouth.

“Is… this the end… I should have gone to see Uncle Jeff and Uncle Max if I knew it would end like this.”

Kaiyan deeply regretted his actions, fearing that they were now causing more harm than good. What was the point of making such a fuss?

He tried to get the elixirs from his inventory, but his body felt as if every bone had been shattered, and he lacked the strength to move.

All he could do now was watch as his once-elevated body plummeted back to the ground.

‘What will happen to Rieka if I die…? Oh, and I have to get Blackie out of the pocket dimension.’

As the ground grew closer, his thoughts turned to regret, and then…

‘If I die, who will avenge the villagers? Who will avenge my family?’

His anger, which he had thought had already reached its peak, burned even hotter than before.

“I can’t die! Inventory! Ugh!”

Straining his body, which refused to cooperate, he managed to move his hand slightly and reached for the Inventory slot.

“Elix… huh? This is…!”

As he hurriedly tried to retrieve the elixir, the name of an item that had been stored in the box and forgotten suddenly came to his mind.

“Special Reward…”

It was the level 70 special reward he had received for leveling up.

At the time, he had completely forgotten about it in the heat of the moment, only to remember it later and be disappointed by the item when he checked with Rieka.

The item given to him by the player system as a special reward had the cheesy name ‘If You Believe in Miracles! Roulette!’

This high-priced item, priced at a staggering 3,000 G, had never been used before. Moreover, Rieka had said that the chances of gaining any advantage by using this toy were less than 10 percent, making it worse than useless, so he had left it lying around like trash.

“But to think that it would come to mind at the last moment…”

He turned his head to look at Canien, who was brandishing his giant tentacles, seemingly intent on finishing him off.

Even if he used the elixir now to recover his health, he would inevitably be hit by the approaching tentacles. In that case, he was sure to die immediately after using the elixir.

“Kuhuk, to think that I would trust a toy at the last moment. Use the roulette.”

With a bitter laugh, he used the roulette he had taken out of the box. The small roulette expanded as it left his hand and began to spin rapidly.

Ring, ring!

It made a strange noise as it rapidly increased in size.

Now, whether he lived or died depended entirely on this high-grade toy called the roulette.

In truth, he had already half-resigned himself to his fate deep down. He was just struggling not to die because of the rising anger.

But still, if by some chance…

“If I survive…”

And if he could kill that monster.

“I’ll do whatever it takes! Bring it on!”

Ring!

As he shouted towards the roulette, it stopped spinning. And before he could even confirm it, the sky darkened rapidly.

Whoosh!

Out of nowhere, a tentacle appeared, flying at incredible speed and heading straight for him.

Kwaaaah!
