Bornandtorn - Chapter 98 A deadly test 2

Although my ruse had worked and I could cover it in the magical substance of my body, I doubt that it will let me do what I want now. Especially after giving such an arrogant speech. My plan of punching it still did not change and I still had 2 minutes left where my body was empowered.

Not wasting any more time with heroic speeches I started to attack the Observer once more. His expression was still mocking me, even after it fell for my plan.

But it seems like it is taking my attacks a lot more serious now as it had begun to actively dodge my attacks. It was copying my manoeuvres and movement, just now it used my attack against me by letting my arm slide over his and returning a punch with all of his body weight.

I definitely felt that one, but I had no time to waste and so I pressed on forward instead of backing off.Even If that meant that more injuries would pile up on my body. It intended to grab my hand and copy the rest of the technique I had done.Instead, it was greeted by my fist that came crashing down onto its chin.

Sadly, it still managed to avoid even that kind of attack. Moving its head backwards it managed to get out of the range of my fist. Even the follow-up attacks aiming at his body and his legs were dodged with ease by it.

It did not let it have any chance to catch its breath if it does need to breathe in the first place. A feint indicating an attack to the head to provoke a reaction only to throw the real attack with the other hand. It avoided this attack by a hairs breath simply by ducking.

I took advantage out of the speed I had picked up and transferred the motion into a roundhouse kick aiming at his body. The Observer did not hesitate at all and closed in on me aiming a kick towards my leg that was currently carrying all of my weight.

I tried to throw my weight backwards to gain some distance and avoid this type of attack from hitting my leg. I had not expected the Observer to use this attack as a feint as well and now it ran towards me while my centre of balance was currently lost.

I decided to give up on controlling my fall and launched my leg upwards. It had not expected this decision but it countered my attempt by simply stopping its movement and waiting till I fall backwards.

By aching my arms backwards and I pushed my body away from the stomp that followed shortly after.

This short exchange left me none the wiser as I had not managed to hit this bastard even once. Its smile was ever so brightly as it raised the middle towards me. I reciprocated this gesture before I ran towards it again.

It felt like an impossible task to connect even one attack. It was always evading my attacks and even by changing my attack pattern I still could not come any closer to achieving my goal. There was no way in hell, that I could hit him by ordinary means.

Once again I came close to it and threw a punch at its face and once again it countered the same way it had done previously. Though this time I gave up on my defence and stepped in fully embracing the attack aimed at my face. This was the price I had to pay to make this attack.

My left fist came flying at its face at an alarming pace though it was still smiling and simply it’s head back to get out of the range of my fist. Though it did not account for one thing, my current body was not human. I spread my fist open and launch my nails straight into his left eye crossing the gap it had made by its movement.

It was the first attack of mine that did some damage even though it barely managed to penetrate the surface of the eye. I felt encouraged by my success and resumed my wave of attacks. It moved backwards in a hurry but the nails on my foot still left a long scratch on its abdomen.

I ripped out the hairs on my arm and threw them while it had not adapted fully to the situation causing the hairs to embed on its body. I had thrown the next hairs right on after but the Observer managed to dodge them with renewed ease.

” Truly fascinating, what an obscure fighting style and a strange way to utelize those weapons of yours.”

I did not have any time to listen to its fascination and rushed to its current location. Although it continued its talk while I threw my everything at it.

” You limited your attacks to the skills a normal human can possess only to use it when the time was right and I had become accustomed towards your movement. ”

Quit stating the obvious, It pisses me off that he still can speak like that without any worry. All of my attacks were avoided once more. I had to go one step further as I grabbed a handful of my hair and started setting it on fire. Before putting them between my fingers and making a fist.

” Are you trying to extend your range by doing something like this? But, you already used a tactic like that.Truly disappointing.”

I did not listen to its provocation and began my attacks, which were evaded without a hitch once more. It ducked, weaved its head and reflected some of my attacks. Its movement was simple, yet effective.

” It had never been my aim to extend my range with them,” I said those words after it once again avoided my attacks. During my attack, I let go of the still-burning hairs and launched them at its body.

” The substance you are covered in also burns well.”

Its body was lit ablaze, but I could only sigh as those flames did not seem to have the desired effect on its flesh. As it still was laughing loudly after it had become a living torch.

” You always manage to surprise me, but this is not enough to win this battle”

What an unfair battle, I could only sigh after not even this kind of plan had worked. Despite still burning it was holding a lecture in front of me. Do I have to disintegrate its body to win? Well, then I might as well write my will now.

if even fire is not enough, then I just have to destroy the human body itself. A human body has its limitations, no matter how strong a human is a broken lack and any mobility is gone. So let us resume our fighting.

This time it still tried its best to dodge all of my attacks but the flames were impacting his vision due to their brightness. Though even this handicap was not having much influence on its abilities. It still was enough to lower it speed just enough so it could not dodge all of my attacks. So I began to focus all of my attacks on its knee cap to limit its mobility.

Despite being able to hit its right knee cap several times, the intended effect was meagre at best. Right now it was just taunting me as it was still flipping me off while dodging my attacks. I was ashamed of facing someone of its calibre, even I still could learn a lot just watching the greatness of this simple gesture. Just thinking about what it could do if had all of my knowledge makes me accept my inferiority.

Since targeting the knee cap did not show any results I began to target the next area. Exploiting the lack of vision I threw a punch at his face which is still dodged. But I had accounted for that much, as I aimed to grab the fur on his shoulder.

Pulling it downwards I could finally target a spot, which would make him lose of on its senses Using my nails I penetrated his ears and injured the set of nerves responsible for keeping the body balanced.

It was not even remotely phased by destroying his ears. It truly is fast at adapting the magic particles to ensure, that it can keep on fighting without the body losing any of its fighting capabilities. I can target those spots all day long and it will still be pointless if it just can adjust the magic particles.

Then its time to target those areas, that have been injured by my previous attacks. Easier said than done though, I am quite sure it would not stand still and wait.

The ability to manipulate and gather all those information by manipulating every mana particle truly is a cheat.

It still does not take me seriously and just keeps on provoking and taunting me. Well if I were it I would do the same.

Resuming my attacks once more, everything was yet again for nought as it was taking the fight a bit more serious. Well, even though this idea might work, it still will be useless if I can not accomplish to hit the wounded areas.

In the meantime, it was still smiling at me as if it was cheering me on to try the impossible. Its arrogance truly rivals my own. But I refuse to let it beat me and my own game, I will not endure such a humiliation.

If I can not hit a single injured area, I will just have to make more areas I can attack, it can not dodge them all. Grabbing my arm air, I began to throw them as fast as I could while covering as much over his body as possible with them.

He did not dodge at all and received all of them. It truly did not give any damn about me, if even uses this situation making fun of me. Though it had enough strength to back up that level of confidence.

” Your resolve is truly wonderful, but you should not forget that I am the ruler in this space and I can change everything inside of it to my liking.”

” And here I thought you would at least try to give me a chance. You still insist on making my life harder than it has to be. Did I not prove my worth to you in this fight?”

It looked at me and was still laughing at me.

” This is not a test, this is a lecture to show your limits to you. A bit of humility is something that everyone should possess.”

I lifted my hands and motioned it to calm down.

” Relax, I never even thought about winning against this battle against you. You are the absolute ruler in this little space and everything I have thrown at you proved to be utterly useless. I just wanted to show some of my capabilities to you. After all the slime I use is quite valuable you should have noticed that by now.”

The Observer only shook its head it returned to its usual behaviour and stopped trying to taunt me.

” You have become complacent. The way you are now you don’t stand any chance against those players.”

I could not deny its word, because even after putting so much on the line I was still toyed with by someone who did not even wield magic. I know that it was trying to gauge my strength by throwing myself into an unusual situation without any kind of preparation.

I would not stand any chance if it had used the strength it showed at the end from the beginning. I have to be thankful, otherwise, I would not have won this fight.

“The 2 minutes have passed by now.”

The entire body of the Observer began to spasm and sweat covered its entire body.

” What have you done?”

” I knew that I stood no chance against you at all. You could adapt to everything I can throw to you, even at my physical peak I would not have the slightest chance at beating you.”

I looked at its body deteriorating before I continued to explain the situation.

“I planned to prove my worth, by throwing everything I have at you. From the mysterious substance that covered you ti even set you on fire. Though its main purpose was to divert your focus elsewhere.”

I showed him my nails, which tips were covered with a very thin liquid.

“My goal had been achieved after I could penetrate the first layer of your skin to get the poison inside of your body. Using a strong poison would have been a bad idea, so I decided on one that slowly infected every corner of your body. All I had to do was keeping you busy and waiting for the poison to spread.”

” The reason you did not notice it in the first place, was due to 3 reasons”

I lifted 3 fingers and began to explain it in detail.

” Your primary focus was on evaluating my fighting capabilities and since you did not have to worry about me penetrating your body with my weapons you could let down your guard in this matter. That was the first reason.”

” The amount of poison was minuscule to not give away its presence and the damage it will cause in the first place. But you still noticed a strange substance interacting with the mana particles inside of your body. Though then you still associated it with the substance you were covered in. You did not know that it has another way more interesting property. It is capable of strengthening the inherent characteristics of the matter it comes into contact with.”

” The poison got a lot more potent after it was amplified with my substance. Using my hair on your body was not meant to create an area where I can attack your body, but to get the slime inside of your body where it came into contact with the poison. It builds up until it was too late. That was the second reason.”

” The understanding of the human body was your third mistake. Suppressing the nerve signals and the feelings of your body was something you should not have done. While relying on your perception of magic particles is vastly superior, do not underestimate thecapabilities of the human brain, ”

Despite the desolate condition of the NPC the Observer had taken control of it still stood up and began to clap before falling over and succumbing to the poison. A voice appeared in my head.

” Having a vessel made out of flesh feels weird I prefer it this way.”

Even though I won at the end I had to burn away too many resources. I fell backwards and my whole body began to convulse. That was the side effect of forcing it to go beyond the limit. Thank you for going easy on me otherwise I would not stand a chance, even outside of this realm.

” But why did you give away the existence of that wonderous substance inside of you? What was your purpose in doing so?”

I coughed heavily as I was regretting my decision to risk so much for such a meaningless fight.

” I am certain, that you knew of my little experiments that had influenced some mana particles. I just wanted to give you a small taste of what I am capable of and that this body of mine still has some secrets, that you did not know off. ”

Please let me rest for a while, I am in no shape to talk to this madman who just throws fire spells around. What redeeming quality do you even see in someone like him? Others managed to escape from the tutorial at least.

” Well, you still have not figured out how you to open your status.”

That are 2 entire different concepts that can not be compared. I am stuck in this world I barely understand and he is incapable to follow simple instructions. How else can you explain the fact, that every other player, every single one had managed to get out of there but not this fellow?

Why do you have to make it so hard for me? Did my demands offend you?

It would not take long until this poor player would come into contact with something pure evil. Until then I watched the idiot throwing spells around while I recuperated as best as I could.

My break lasted exactly one minute before the ground I was standing on disappeared and I descended downwards abruptly. Yeah, the observer was still pissed of.

I just hope that the player I have to help is not as stupid as he acts. Hope dies last after all.
