Aditya lunged forward and stabbed at the throat of the bird constantly with the dagger. He hugged the neck of the bird as the jackhammer still drilled into its skull while stabbing constantly.
But the bird is still not done, even when its eye is gone and a lot of blood is gushing out, it is still trying to get rid of Aditya no matter what and it started bashing its own head to the wall.
*BAM* *BAM*
The constant battering made the jackhammer come out of the eye socket and fall on the floor while it was still turned on.
Aditya became instantly nervous as he hugged the throat of the bird while stabbing.
The dagger's length is not too big, but the flesh of the bird it. It is dense and thick while the dagger could only do so much damage with the stabbing, so he started cutting it open bit by bit, but soon the blood-soaked his hands and he lost the grip.
The bird is not too big, to begin with, the only reason he was able to hand it to it is that it is trying to fly even in that compact space and it is taller than him by a few inches.
When the bird finally made him go back to the ground, it looked at him crazily with that one eye and started pecking on the ground.
*BAM* *CRACK*
*BAM* *CRACK*
*BAM* *CRACK*
Each peck made a large hole on the ground, which made Aditya nervous and the jackhammer that is still turned on the ground is not helping him either as he rolled to dodge the pecking.
As the pecking went on though, he managed to find an opening, the beak landed on the same spot a few times and it got stuck in a crack on the floor unable to take it back.
He immediately stood up and stabbed the dagger into the throat of the bird from the side. He wanted to use the incinerate but, he doesn't know if the beak would be damaged because of it, so he could only cut open the throat fiercely.
He didn't hold back at all and the bird couldn't even make any sounds because of the beak being struck inside the hole.
Blood gushed out as it covered Aditya completely and soon the bird started losing consciousness along with the blood.
Aditya finally heaved a sigh of relief but didn't stop as he hacked the bird continuously. After the bird fell and barely breathed, he used the jackhammer to free its beak and used the dagger to cut it out of the rest of the body, and ran out of the tool room.
He arrived at the spot where the earthworm is and picked up the metal limb before storing all of them inside the Inventory.
Now three of his slots are full and only of them is empty. As he was looking around vigilantly over what might come next, the prompt for the round completion came.
He finally felt relieved.
[ROUND FINISHED
KILLS: 25
OBTAINED FIFTY POINTS
YOUR CURRENT RANK: 20
THE COUNT DOWN FOR THE NEXT ROUND: 23:53:40
CHECK THE REWARDS SECTION FOR THE CLEAR REWARDS.
HIDDEN OBJECTIVES HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED CHECK THE REWARDS SECTION FOR THE REWARD.]
Aditya looked at the screen in disbelief. Not because of the rewards or the reduced time for the next round, and definitely not because of his ranking, rather because of his condition while looking at the screen.
Because, this is the first time, he finished around without any serious injuries and with so much strength left.
Of course, he might not be able to compete with another Danger Level 4 creature, but he is not as exhausted as he was in the past three rounds.
He is clearly not as tired as before and he is not in extreme pain. This is a definite improvement. Of course, he struggled a bit when he considered the large rat's resistance to the flames that came it and the earth worms that managed to survive a few hundred kilograms of concrete slab on it, but he is really impressed with his own performance.
As he was still lost in himself, the greyscale world disappeared and he reappeared back in the campus. He didn't check the reward section and walked towards the hostel dorm slowly while thinking about what has changed.
The increase in attributes is the clear change that helped him, but he believed the extra grind he did with the training and recovery potion is what gave him that edge. The increase in the points made him a better opponent in terms of strength when going against the creatures. Particularly against the woodpecker. He is sure as hell that he wouldn't be able to break past that thick flesh if he was any weaker even a single point less than his current strength, he wouldn't be able to deal with it.
As he was thinking, Ram suddenly popped up and said.
[Your new business partner is messaging through the trading channel. Go and check it out.]
Aditya was confused and he immediately opened the trading channel, there is a new trade request opened with a sandwich and the request was for some information.
Aditya looked around and after noticing that no one was there, he accepted the sandwich.
[It seems like you survived this too. Thanks for the sandwich.]
[I barely survived. Did you see the rankings?]
[No, it has been barely a few minutes, I would like to appreciate my life in peace before I go back into the interface, why?]
[Five more people died and there are only eight-five people left in the game and my ranking is Eighty-three.]
[Oh, you barely survived indeed. So, why did you contact me?]
[I want to know if you have a weapon?]
[I didn't buy any gun or grenade if that is what you are asking.]
[No, not those things. A weapon that could be used against the creatures a cold weapon. If you have one, I would like to buy it. Today I realized that there is very little that I can do with the guns and grenades and I had to blow my whole kitchen up to barely kill one creature of Danger Level 4. I want to have something in my hands, just in case.]
