Second Battle

Rash knows he can't argue too much with Nightmare. And there is no time either. It is good that the monster has given him some time to gather his resolve, yet he has to do it anyway.

Merely three or four meters between them, but it felt like 10 meters long. Last time, when he encountered the monster, he was not thinking about surviving, so he attacked without a plan. Now, however, he cannot do the same if he wants to learn more about Gallus.

Slowly he approached several steps. Sustaining his breath, using the chair as a shield, and holding the knife in his other hand. Only two meters closer, one meter closer... but....

"I am sorry.... please.... help me... I will be obedient... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..."

The girl began to speak intermittently, in her childish voice. Her words tell of her terrible experience. Rash, who wanted to attack. Stood when he heard her. But the last scream startled him, causing him to subconsciously attack by directing a strong kick to the girl's stomach in the place of the doll.

The monster did not avoid the kick, but the snake opened its black mouth and pushed itself towards his foot. The snake instinct still there and tried to bite him with its big tusks. Rash was quick and drove back using the hero's steps.

It was not just one attack but two at the same time.

The girl stood on her feet, her head was bent down, and she slowly began to raise her trembling hands. She covered her ears as if she was afraid to hear anything while apologizing, "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Rash did not care about her words this time but was focused on something else, "Nightmare, you idiot. Why did my attack only dealt 15 damage even though it was 18 from smashing the door? Are you sure the skill works well?"

"It's quite correct. The monster's defense is higher than the door, so your attack causes less damage." Nightmare replied leisurely.

Rash drew a silent gasp as he felt his heart pound rapidly, "Just now you're telling me? Are you kidding me?" However, he attacked again, as the monster would not wait for him again. So he decided to empty his anger on her.

He raised the chair as if it were weapon with his right hand. He hit the snake to keep it out of the way. Then he kicked again, this time in the position of the girl's feet, to paralyze her. When the monster lost its balance, he continued the attack by stabbing her in the neck. The snake prevented by the chair was unable to attack, but it used its body to support the girl's body from falling off.

???

"You have to be more careful. The Gallus Monsters are not affected too much by normal attacks. Without using skills, killing them is very difficult."

"F**k... say this before." If he can, he wants to seriously slap him this time. Nevertheless, Nightmare has never been concerned about hiding his happiness while watching Rash suffer.

Thump.... thump....

The monster that never stops apologizing, had begun to move faster. There was yellow liquid dripping from her stomach, and her intestines connected with the tail of the snake were writhing inside. When the doll moved a little. Rash learned that the doll was responsible for telekinesis from the previous confrontation, so he stepped back further.

The knife planted in the neck of the girl came out. Then it attacked him from the right while the girl ran towards the left. The monster was trying to surround him from both sides.

"Little naughty girl, I'm trying to help you here..." Rash roared as he ran into the entrance where the space was tight, and he could protect his back. He had no choice but to do so in the event of a multiple attack.

The monster did not stop and tailed straight towards him, indifferent to the defense. As long as he's able to catch Rash it's the end. By entering the entrance, Rash was able to reduce the danger of the flying knife, because he already knew that the monster was unable to control two things at the same time. He threw the chair this time at the feet of the girl, who stumbled and fell on the ground directly on her face.

Her stumbling and falling did not prevent her from launching the attack of despair. However, his goal never been the girl from the start. Rather, he used the skill hero's steps and very quickly jumped behind the girl and grabbed the snake's head. He put his foot on the girl's back and pulled the snake with all his might. The process caused it to dislocate with a group of intestines attached to it.

The snake was causing headaches from the beginning. Still, if he wanted a direct confrontation with the monster, he first had to do something about it. So he thought about making it his initial goal.

Despite this, separating the snake from the monster did not cause its death, and this is also expected. He did not stop since the head of the snake is in his hand, and no matter how much it tries to surround him, it is of no use. This is why he used hero' punch directly at its head, crushing it against the wall. Everything happened in an instant, then he retreated again, avoiding the knife.

The snake still trying to return to its place even after losing its head. And Rash never allowed that to happen.

The part of the snake is still moving continuously, so he launched three consecutive punches to stop the movement completely. When its health points were zero, Rash made sure that he was finally dead and felt some relief.

Even without other abilities, the snake possesses a poison that might kill him if he was bitten. This reason alone makes it a prime target.

The monster looked more angry now, but he had suffered a lot of damage too. Rash was no longer uneasy to confront him, even with direct attack.

Although Rash did not suffer any damage, this is more due to the lunacy of the monster. However, he used his skills nine times and lost 45 MP in total. This is very good considering his advance plan.

Rash threw the dead snake away in an attempt to focus more on a direct confrontation with the monster. Just when he did, the monster dashed so fast towards the dead snake, making Rash caught by surprise at its sudden behavior.

He did not want to leave anything to the possibilities, and activated the hero' steps twice in succession to appear in front of the monster, and with a back kick he sent the girl flying far to the entrance again.

Now there is one more thing that caught his attention. Why has the monster decided to retrieve the body of the snake, despite its being dead? To the extent to not bother with him anymore?

He wanted to ask Nightmare to confirm, and Nightmare, who was watching the battle smiling, was satisfied with Rash's quick reaction even without prior knowledge, "Good move. You have to learn that as long as the Gallus monster is not completely dead, its parts are able to re-join in a very short time. By doing so, they lose a large part of their energy, but they can recover a little Of health."

So that is why she rushed to retrieve her missing part? This is important information.

Now he has a piece that he can use to his advantage. He took the snake again as the angry monster stared at him with exasperated looks, at least from Rash's perspective. Before the girl took action, he threw the snake's body between the cabinets lined up in the place.

The girl ran quickly, not removing her eyes from where the snake had fallen. Then she jumped and grabbed and placed the fallen snake in her stomach. Rash, who had been waiting for this to happen, came behind the locker, and with a strong push, he threw it upon the girl.

The monster got stuck under the cabinet, even though it was not affected much by impact. However, it was unable to move and got stuck in its place. Even telekinesis will not be able to hold a cabinet this weight and the girl's strength is too weak to bear the heaviness.

Nightmare's words were correct, as the monster regained a few health points when it merged with the snake again. But that does not matter anymore because Rash won the battle no matter what.

He did not give the girl much time and started to direct successive punches to every visible area of her body. The girl also did not stop talking and apologizing, as he felt like a sadist torturing a little girl.

"I'm sorry... help me... uh..."

"Please... I'll be obedient..."

Her voice started to die little by little with every stroke. Rash didn't stop, no matter what, until the monster was completely wiped out. The system message appears before his eyes.
