55***Dizzy Diary
'Here's to hoping this works!'
*Ping*
*WHIP!!!*
*boom!*
As I set off the essence in my hand, my Detect going off and a death whip heading for my skull were the last things I could interpret before my senses fell into a maelstrom!!!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" I screamed in part surprise, part terror, as the world spun violently around me!!!
I felt like I dropped into a tornado! The game system keeping my feet moving around with my suddenly increased acceleration, which is good or I would have tripped up already!!!
But enough of that!!! I'm spinning blind against a high level Named Monster. I need to go faster, and the g-forces I'm experiencing isn't helping!!!
*FULL COIL!!!*
*DETECT!!!*
I pumped all the essence I could into reinforcing my body - focusing less on my eyes and more on my ears and stomach - and expanding my Detect to 3 ft and laid it on thick! My feet moved like crazy trying to keep up, but I knew we needed to go faster... MUCH faster!!!
'My feet are going to hate me for this!!!' I groaned in my head as I sent some more Explosive essence to my palms and prepared o let lose
*Ping!*
'Crap!!!' I shouted out in my head as I realized that I was going to collide into Sher's Tail Whip again. Only this time, something was different.
I couldn't see any thing now, but I had a very strong feeling of impending death. Idk what happened, but I can't dodge by normal means!
'Fine! Lets do it this way then!!!' I shouted in my head and angled my outstretched shield arm to divert my momentum, set of the Explosion, jumped, and closed my arms to barrel roll over the attack!!!
'Ack!' My shield grazed the tail, bouncing of and sending me across with an immediately healed broken arm!
it wasn't all too bad though, as thanks to that, I got anther idea in the split second I was in the air!!!
I whipped my shield around, and landed on the inside of it like a board, and then let it all rip!!!!
*EXPLOSION!!! CHAIN POP!!!*
I held out both of my arms out and started releasing mini explosions at rapid pace, adding torque to myself! My average ep. tanked to under half the remainding in the process, but my speed increasing by at least 20 fold!!!

'Huh? Is this really happening?' I thought as I looked at my notification... or at least tried to before I got so dizzy, I almost puked.
*Urc!* *gulp* 'Not today!' I thought to my gut as I got my Body Reinforcement back up! 'Ugl! Gross!!!' I shuddered slightly as I realized I just swallowed bile.
'Strange... That doesn't usually bother me...' I thought as I took a second to wonder why that happened....
and immediately regretted it!!!
*WHIP!!!*
*graze*
"Ack!!!" My hp. dropped to 1, going back up within the second, but waking me up and keeping me alert!!!
The next attack came a split of a split second after I healed, and I reflexively withdrew my arms so fast I almost got whiplash, making me speed up even faster and spin right under the attack!
'My Improv. Mastery must have kicked in and remembered that one science video I watched on spinning and how radius affects the speed, cause now that video at the front of my mind.' I thought, shuddering at just how op the Improvisation Mastery really is.
'It should be illegal to have this...' I thought in terror, but not for long as my Detect informed me of another attack! Like Jeeze!!! You'd think Einstein's Theory of Relativity would kick in here with how fast I'm spinning! But I guess they didn't add that tid-bit!!!
I retracted my arms again, and felt my position go vertical - or I'm still upright, I dunno - as I spun out of the attack's way!!!
I felt my body tipping around a lot, and even though I couldn't tell if it was from the dizziness or if I was actually wobbling like a gig about to pass out, both sounde bad, so I played it safe and fell into a crouch.
Somehow, that made me even faster, and now I became a rocket powered, half ByBlade, blasting across and around the room so fast, I was giving Sher's Tail Whips a run for their money!!!
"Daaaaarrrrrrrnnnnnnn iiiiiiiiiittttttt, IIIIIIIIIIII nnnneeeeeeeeaaaaaddddd ttttttttttoooooooo ssssssssssssllllllllllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwww ddddddddddddddoooooooooowwwwwwwnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cracked out as my vision became distorted and my stomach tried to fold itself inside out! I kept up the Chain Pop however, increasing my speed until I realized that my dizziness moved from increasing heavily to relatively constant. Then I closed my arms - keeping my palms out - and felt my dizziness fall right back into heavily increasing!!!
'*ugh!*Faster! *ugl!* Faster!! *Ngu!* Faster!!! *Hng!!* FASTER!!!!' I felt sick to my core, my orifices were close to exploding, and my mind was lost to pretty much all thought except for one, going faster!!!
I no longer heard the pings of an impending whip to the face, no longer saw light, no longer paid attention to anything except for simply going faster!!!
'Ugh! I'm going to die!!!' Just when I couldn't bear it.... just when I thought I was going to spin out and splatter to atoms as I meet my end on a root and bark wall... I heard something... majestic!!!
*Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!*
*Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!*
*Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!*
*Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!*
*Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!*
*Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!**Ping!*
A chorus of pings rang out as my Detect picked up a wide attack coming up from above! And it was fast!!! And freaking close!!!!!!!!
And while my head was mostly like, 'I'm dead aren't I?' while some little pieces went haywire trying to figure out what was coming, a small smidget in my mid saw this as an opportunity, and grabbed my limbs with a vigor to make it happen!!! It was all or nothing time!!!
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!" I belted out with effort as I spun off of my seat for the past few minutes, grabbed it in an air roll, landed it, planted my feet and came around with all the momentum within me to connect with... his foot!!!!
*RUPTURE!!!*
I almost balked as I saw the impending Rupture heading for my face! But then I was reminded of to very important things. One, the momentum in me threatening to rip my body to shreds, and two, the person who got me in this mess to begin with.
'Flip it!!! I'm going down with a fight so I can tell off that b**** off when I respawn!!!" I shouted as I came in with my ultimate move!
*Ping!!!*
My thoughts were cut short as I detected another attach coming in from the side, and it was the faster than all of the other attacks combined!!!
*SONIC TAIL WHIP!!!!*
'Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!Crap!
'CRAP!!!!!! I have to dodge! I have to move!! I have to... Wait, think for a bit.' I thought to myself as fear dilated my perception of time and my brain went into overload!
'I can't stop or I'll loose momentum and I'll get hit regardless, but if I continue, I'll die before I hit him!!! And I'm only thinking about one solution, but my feet won't survive it!!! But I can't think of anything else!!!' I mentally scratched my head in despair as I realized that I'll have to do the literal impossible to pull this crazy idea off!!
But I'll be damned if I don't at least try!
'If I can't stop, then fine, I'll just have to go faster!!!!'
I eased my right foot forward, running Explosive essence into my right palm till I was out of ep., ducked low, used my right foot as a pivot, and used Explosion!!!
*EXPLOSION!!!*
I felt every fiber in my being disconnect as I reached Mach speeds and spun under the Tail Whip, leaving my right foot behind!
I switched pivot to my left foot and brought around all the momentum I had and unleashed it with all my might!!!!
*HEAVY REDIRECT!!!*
New Move Added to the "Shield Combat Series"
I slammed my Stone Shield into the incoming foot, using its momentum and adding mine to throw Sher's foot into the air!!!!
But it wasn't enough!!!
It got him almost 50% off the ground, but then he used his tail to brace himself!!!
"YOU INSOLENT FOUL BLOOD!!! YOU DARE TO TRY AND TIP ME, THE GREAT AND ONLY SHER, WITH YOU'RE PUNNY EFFORTS?!!!! YOU SHALL RECIEVE A FITTING END!!!!"
"Not yet..." I said, determination etched in my voice!
"What?!" Sher asked, bewildered at the weight behind the words of one he considered less than an ant!
"I'm. Not. Done. YET!!!" I screamed out as I used what little momentum I had to throw myself up to above him!!!
My foot grew back in mid air, and my ep. flooded back into my system, just in time for my last ditch efforts!!!
*CHAIN POP!!!*
I unleased a barrage of Explosions, barreling my way faster and faster into his now near perpendicular side.
*BARREL STOMP!!!*
I flew at him with an essence-filled Stomp and planted it into the tip of his shell side!!!
He teetered for a bit while I fell limply, Fatigue Paralysis finally claiming my evasive, stubborn, self...
and finally fell sideway onto his back!!!!
I breathed a long sigh of relief as I fell unto his underside, my body screaming for rest!
"... So what will you do with me now, foul blood?" he said after a long while.
It took me a second - well... more like a few minutes... - to get enough energy to get up, and when I finally did, I looked at him with confusion.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"... You're arrogance knows no bonds does it." he replied with a surprising amount of patience, albeit with a bit of annoyance in there all the same.
"My life force drains away in these fields as I lie on my back, as I am of one soul with The Goblin King." he explained, and I gapped while looking at the sky. Both because:
1. he was right, his life was draining like crazy and the very diminished field of Paladin Poppies - thanks to no small part of mine - started springing up like weeds!!!
and 2. He just did a lore drop and I was still processing the bombshell it was!!!
I wanted to stop everything and started analyzing data immediately, but I knew better than to cut off a dying man while he was talking! The lore bits in those long winded stories were too juicy to pass up!
But he seams to be doing this like a question and answer section, so I best play along, and I have the best line for this situation!
"Well, to start, will you be my friend?"
