Blood Spirit
Meanwhile, Pro gawked with an open mouth as he watched the drama, "What bullsh*t f*ckery is this plot? I'm the one with the system cheat, yet you skipped up to my level in moments?!"
[Warning! The barrier to host's domain has been breached! It will cost 60 life points to repair...]
"Yea, yea ... still trying to get in," Pro muttered unhappily over his loss, "What did yall do to this poor spirit. It's so mad that it even ignored the intimidation of this floor's spirits!" Pro complained.
[Host has absorbed the life force from the remains of a living being. Host gained 100 life points.]
[Host has absorbed the soul of the invader. System Library updated with new information.]
"Huh??? Did I just absorb the soul of that mystic unintentionally?!" Pro exclaimed in shock as he placed his palms together in a praying gesture, "Hey, it's not my fault Mr. Protagonist. Please don't come for revenge in the future ... no, it's best that you never find out in the future."
[Warning! The barrier to host's domain has been breached! It will cost 80 life points to repair...]
"Ah sh*t! That's almost all the points I just got! F*ck you!" Pro howled as he darted out of the wall and gave the monster two more swipes before diving back into his domain, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? The system didn't pop up a danger message this time which means that you aren't an entire rank above me! I ain't no sh*t on the side of the road that you can step on!"
Timing his exit, Pro dashed out once more, but from the right corner of his room this time. Fortunately, he did so because as expected, the wall of flesh was actually camping the wall at his old exit!
Owooooh!
As if sensing Pro, the flesh growled in anger and turned towards Pro. Pro swiftly dashed around the wall of flesh and gave the wall of flesh another swipe, causing it to howl in pain.
"So, tenacious!" Pro muttered with a frown as he watched the flesh heal rapidly while running towards room 446.
Suddenly, the door to room 444 opened. Gu Hao stood confidently at the open doorway as he glared at the wall of flesh. He then lifted his hand that held a lighter with a small flame. He then sprayed out the liquid in his mouth, "Fireball!"
Fwoosh! The flames expanded into half the size of a car as it exploded out from the apartment doorway, scorching the door as in the process.
[Warning! The barrier to host's domain has been breached! It will cost 90 life points to repair...]
"You-" Pro was about to angrily reprimand but then noticed the expanding fireball indiscriminately bombarding the area.
His face paled as he sprinted out of the way, "Holy sh*t! Stop! Friendly fire!"
Boom! OWOOOOH! The wall of flesh howled as it lit on fire once more. Switching t ghost form, Pro dived into room 446 to avoid the spreading fire in the hallway.
"Taste my fury! Hah!" Gu Hao growled as he pulled out the sword and slashed the wall of flesh right through the middle.
His other hand lifted up as he threw an activated talisman into the opening, "Holy Light!"
Owooohh! Blinding light spewed out of the gap as the blood spirit howled in pain. Pro pulled his peeking head back swiftly as he dived away from the front door of apartment 446 and into the bathroom as the bathroom door automatically slammed shut. Peeking his head out from the bathroom, Pro felt a sense of danger from the light spilling in from the gaps below the door.
"As expected, glad I moved fast or I would be deep in holy sh*t. Seriously, this boy doesn't care about friendly fire! I even saved you a couple of times, and this is how you repay me?!" Pro grumbled.
As the light gradually faded away, Pro waved his hands and opened the door of apartment room 446 with a thought, "More fighting space for you, Mr. Protagonist. Gambatte!"
Gu Hao didn't hold back when the wall of flesh was suffering from the holy light. While stepping out of the room to gain more fighting space, he rapidly waved his sword crazily and diced off large chunks of still burning flesh.
As the light faded away, Gu Hao backed off and took a swig of liquid from the water bottle. Switching his sword to a lighter, Gu Hao smoothly sprayed out another fireball!
Boom! Owoooh! The wall of flesh howled in pain before it pounce towards Gu Hao with its jaws wide open. Seeing the opening door to apartment 446, Gu Hao gritted his teeth and rolled in to dodge the attack. Rolling to a crouching position while facing the doorway, Gu Hao lifted up a talisman and aimed it at the wall of flesh passing by, "Holy Smite!"
Zap! A hole appeared on the wall of flesh. Although it was a minor injury compared to the rest of its injuries, any damage counted towards the big picture.
Owoooh! As if provoke, the wall of flesh crawled back and tried to squeeze itself through the doorway.
[An invader is attempting to enter your domain. Will you allow or deny the entry?]
"Uh, yuh, come right in. I prepared this battlefield just for you two. You can destroy it all you want. It's already charred black, it can't get much worst," Pro muttered as he floated through the wall to the bedroom.
Pro peeked through the door of the bedroom to see the wall of flesh trying to squeeze in as Gu Hao rapidly slashed away at it with his sword, "Good luck! I will make a strategic retreat for the moment~"
Then, Pro floated through the wall of the bedroom and back to apartment 444. He glanced at the crying Beatrice nearby and locked eyes with Lena who happened to be looking over with her glowing eyes. Pro cheekily smiled as he waved his hand in greeting before floating away towards his bedroom. Lena sat there and stared at the ghost's back with wide eyes in shock.
Pro plopped down on his bed as he listened to the sporadic sounds of fighting next door. There was Gu Hao's angry chuuni yells, a couple of sparse gun shots, and the monster's howl.
"Aiya, it's so nice to have someone else do the work for you. Am I right, Alice?" Pro giggled as he comfortably hugged Alice.
The sounds of fighting continued and lasted for a while. Suddenly, Pro heard a loud howl, "Don't think you can escape, evil spirit!"
Pro sat up as his eyes sparkled. With a thought, he used
A messy battlefield with chunks of flesh scattered all around the room greeted Pro's sight. There was also random slash marks here and there. There was even more damage to the charred furnishing. There should also be scorched marks but it's hard to tell considering the already charred room.
Panting heavily in exhaustion, Gu Hao was now standing with his back facing the wall Pro was peeking from. Holding his sword in ready position, Gu Hao glared at the flesh blob that has lost most of its flesh, while preventing it from heading to the door.
Seeing that the door was closed, the blob of flesh seemed to have thrown away its idea of fleeing as it stood in place. Its flesh squirmed around as the remaining legs on it began to separate. Then, the blob of flesh cracked open like the shell of an egg.
A bloody hand reached out from within. Then, another hand reached out and grasped the edge of the shell. Blood rained down from the top of the shell and covered the black tuxedo sleeves of the hands. As the shell ripped apart slowly, a leg covered by a black tuxedo pant stepped out of it. A body wearing tuxedo gradually appeared.
Pulling itself outwards, a black top hat stood out as the blood spirit's head slowly came out while looking downwards, causing the top hat to hide its face. Fully stepping out, the blood spirit stood tall in front of the squirming blob of flesh. It's head slowly looked up to reveal a faceless face! Blood leaked down from its top hat and rolled down the blood spirit's face like tears. As it observed its target, the blood spirit's head creaked and tilted 90 degrees sideways!
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Hearing the noise of bone cracking from the blood spirit, Gu Hao hands trembled as he stared at monstrosity in front of him. He then gritted his teeth as he yelled, "You ain't scaring me with such sh*tty tricks! Taste my blade!"
Gu Hao then ran forward while waving his blade; however, the blood spirit simply stood in place, raised its hand and pointed at Gu Hao. The running Gu Hao suddenly tripped over and fell face first into the ground! His sword bounced away as he released it during his fall.
The blood spirit stood there and silently watched Gu Hao who struggled to get up on the ground. Gu Hao forced himself up with his hands, but when he tried to stand, to his horror, he found that his legs don't seem to want to respond!
"M-My legs?!" Gu Hao roared in frustration as he glared at the blood spirit, "What did you do to them?!"
The blood spirit did not respond. Its head slowly creaked back in place before it slowly twisted its head around 360 degrees. Its body then also followed before it walked up to the shell. The blood spirit reached his hand into the shell and seemed to search for something. Not long after, his hand pulled out a bloody saw.
The bloody spirit then creepily turned around and glanced down at Gu Hao, or precisely, his legs. The blood spirit took a step towards Gu Hao as a loud echo of footstep resounded in the room.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Gu Hao's face paled as he stared at the blood spirit walking to his side. His hand suddenly twitched as a gun appeared in his hand! Aiming at the blood spirit's head, Gu Hao opened fire!
"Die for me you monster!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Holes appeared one after another on the blood spirit's face, but the wounds rapidly recovered and returned the face to its blank state. Gu Hao's face paled in despair as he watched the blood spirit stopped next to his legs.
Bang! Bang! Click! Click! Click!
The bullets finally ran out as Gu Hao dropped his gun with eyes wide opened in despair. Gu Hao watched the blood spirit's leg melt into the blood spirit's body as the blood spirit's upper body slowly descended to Gu Hao's height. The bloody hand, with the saw, cranked forward and placed the saw right over Gu Hao's legs. The saw lowered slowly, and it gently touched down as the sharp edge caused a small tear in Gu Hao's pants.
The blood tears rolling down the blood spirit's face then slowly formed a bloody grin on its face. A ghastly, deep male laugh then echoed in the room. It then began to move its hand to saw off its prey's leg.
"Nooooo!"
