Fight

Lucas quickly backed away from the door and waited for the monster in the hallway. When he saw the size of the man's right arm, he immediately realized that a fight in open space would be terrible. His mind worked quickly to form a plan that would work, but there wasn't much he could do.

He had never fought in his life, nor did he consider his fight with that insect woman valid. Just jumping forward with a knife wasn't a real fight. So he thought of few strategies.

"At least I have to focus on just one arm."

He let out a sigh of relief, it's definitely an advantage to have two arms instead of one and knowing that, he mentally prepared himself for the upcoming combat.

The humanoid monster started knocking on the door trying to open it, having lost his rationality, he didn't know how to use the handle. Then, after a few seconds, he broke down the door and looked to his left where he found a young man standing with a large 40cm knife in his right hand and a 20cm knife in his left.

The mutant wasted no time and ran stretching his big and thin arm towards this young man, who in turn stood there waiting for the monster to approach.

When the mutant man was a few meters from reaching him, the young man felt the blood circulation in his brain increase, saw the slower world passing by his eyes, his thought speed increased, however, he did not get lost in these sensations and immediately sharpened his mind.

At the moment when the monster's arm was a few centimeters away from his face, the boy with the knives swerved to the left, trying to stay in the monster's blind spot and with his left hand wielding the small knife, he slashed at the monster's arm. man from the bottom up just above the elbow.

The mutant screamed in pain at that moment and from his mouth a dark purple goo flew towards Lucas's face. Moments before being hit, the boy protected himself with his left arm and the liquid just splashed on his face, causing some burning.

This pain was heavily neglected by the tremendous torture he felt in his forearm, it was as if millions of ants were eating his arm at an insane speed and he felt it all slowly. The young man jumped back removing the knife that was stuck in the man's arm.

In that jump, the mutant lost his balance and almost fell, having to lean on the walls of the corridor, the young man used this time to see his forearm, his vision scared him. His member had lost half the flesh and his bone was fully exposed with some dissolution marks.

Normally this type of injury would have anyone lying on the floor screaming in pain, but Lucas didn't. He still wanted to scream in pain, but whether it was because of adrenaline or the changes in his body, he managed to control himself and focus on the fight still unfolding.

He now had two things to dodge with the mutant, the arm and the purple goo, his combat options were dwindling and there wasn't enough time to think of something effective, as the monster quickly got up and ran towards him, but this time the young man did not stand still, he advanced with his knives.

His strategy was to eliminate the monster's mobility or damage its huge arm. The hard part was not dodging the arm, but dodging the acid that was too fast at close range.

That acid in less than a second managed to corrode the flesh of his forearm enough to show the bone, it was definitely something insanely dangerous and thanks to his apparently improved reflexes he managed to keep the liquid from hitting his face.

The two were face to face very quickly, the monster reached out again to grab him, taking advantage of his momentum along with the mutant, applied more force to his right arm that held the large knife and cut his hand on the man. The knife went through the hand and continued to split the arm in two.

Lucas at that moment found it very strange that the knife split the monster's arm so easily, after all, there was a bone in that arm, something that is not easily broken, and even more so for a simple butcher's knife. However, he didn't give it much thought and soon focused on the monster again. The knife split the forearm to the elbow as it lost its strength and stopped. At that moment the mutant screamed in pain, vomited his acidic purple goo towards the young man and the young man, who was in front of him, did not have much time to dodge and instinctively bent down, releasing the knife, leaving it trapped in the monster's arm. .

As he crouched down, he could see the purple goo passing over him and at that moment his eyes glowed a faint white, he took a hard kick with his legs and jumped with the smaller knife in his left hand aimed at the mutant man's throat.

The jump was so strong that the knife hit the man's jaw instead of his throat, but it didn't stop there and kept slicing until he reached the skull, where he finally stopped, with his momentum, the young man ended up hitting his head on the ceiling of the hallway, which by the way was not loud.

While still in the air he could see the tongue, lower and upper jaw falling to the ground and was amazed at what had happened. Since when did he jump and have such high strength?

The monster backed up about 3 steps after losing its entire mouth, could no longer properly aim the acid without it, but still had his hand throwing it fiercely at the young man, who was still in the air, unable to dodge.

The blow hit him in the ribs and crushed him against the wall, this blow managed to break most of his ribs and definitely made Lucas spit out a lot of blood. The monster did not stop, it drew back its arm preparing another attack and this time it tried to use its nails to pierce the back of the young man trapped in the wall.

Upon realizing this, the young man crawled on the wall, dodging the blow by millimeters of hitting a vital part of the body, his deflection made his pectoral suffer, as the hand left three very well defined cut marks on it, even so he stood up quickly and tried to analyze the situation to decide what to do and realized that he no longer had a weapon to use. The big knife was still stuck in the monster's arm and the smaller knife was half stuck in its skull.

He tried to see in those short moments what he could do to get around the situation and then his brain started working faster again. It was the second time his brain had kind of 'strengthened' and he didn't know why, but he didn't think about it and went back to focusing on the fight.

With his brain functioning at an absurd speed, time passed more slowly and the scenes were clear, soon Lucas knew what he had to do.

He ran towards the mutant man, who stretched his arm to intercept him, but the young man promptly dodged by sliding on the ground and when he got to the monster's feet he jumped again, with the same force as before, in the jump he pushed the knife that it was stuck in the cranial bone with all the strength it had.

The knife this time went completely through the monster's head, splitting it in half.
