Captive by Medusa (3)

Leona once again managed to get the medusa into her Kris Bamboo range. The Medusa tried to protect her wounded stomach that continued to bleed with her hand but Leona flexibly circled her hand so that the Kris Bamboo's tip still hit its target.

Leona moved her hands as though it was boneless, Leona's hands twisted as she stabbed the Kris Bamboo into the Medusa's injured stomach and no matter how much the Medusa tried to block the attacks with her claws or her trident it was pointless.

*Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab!

[50x]

Medusa lashed out with her serpent tail and destroyed everything around her.

*Boom! *Boom! *Boom!

However, Leona was already far away before the Medusa's tail hit her body. She continued to retreat and dodge the concrete that fell from the sky due to the Medusa's tail attack. Leona had been worried that the roof of this building would fall and hit them, but The Instructor, who was still sitting casually, seemed to have never thought of that possibility.

She continued to watch the movements of the two people who were fighting a life-and-death battle in front of her with the hand still resting on her chin. Her snake-like eyes stared absentmindedly but sometimes there was a glint that flashed when Leona was cornered. Currently, she no longer supported Leona because this fight had become a one-sided beating where Leona continued to excel in all aspects.

Medusa should be able to give Leona a tough battle if she continues to use Nyi Blorong's trident skill. However, due to her anger, Leona could easily take advantage of Medusa's amateurish moves with ease. Once again, The Instructor's prediction that this battle will be fierce was wrong.

She began to feel annoyed and bored to see Leona beat Nyi Blorong's embodiment easily even though it was just a solve coagula curse that took her form.

It crossed the mind of The Instructor to increase the difficulty of this tutorial but the writing that kept appearing in her eyes always gave a warning when she wanted to do it. If previously she could easily get away with just answering Leona's question but this time she would not be able to ignore it.

Maybe if she changed this tutorial a second time, the words that kept popping up in her eyes would ask her to give Leona the original Nyi Blorong's trident. In the end, The Instructor only hoped that Medusa could win or at least put up a better fight than this.

However, The Instructor's feelings were not the same as Leona's feelings right now. She was very frustrated that Medusa didn't die either. Even though it looked like she was easily beating the Medusa badly, Leona didn't actually do it without getting hurt.

[-3 HP]

[-5 HP]

[-3 HP]

Every time the tip of the Medusa's trident scratched her body she would lose 3 HP and every time the Medusa's claws hurt her she loses 5-7 HP. If only Leona had been hit once by the Medusa's tail, then her HP would definitely be zero.

Leona wanted to do damage to the Medusa without being scratched at all. But Medusa's movement was too fast for her so it was almost impossible for her to get close without sacrificing a bit of her HP. Currently, Leona's HP was very low, and only 92/146 remains.

If the Medusa didn't die in the next few attacks then it was certain that Leona would bleed out first. Because of this, she is currently very frustrated and who knows how many times she has cursed the Percha Island Online game developer's for creating this very unfair game.

A game should be more in favor of the players. Unlimited revival, potions to replenish HP, skills that can issue deadly moves, etc. However, the Percha Island Online developers seem to love their monsters more and hate the players who play their games.

*Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab!

Leona once again managed to get in range with her Kris Bamboo but this time what she encountered was the Medusa who was tightly covering her stomach wound with her hand. Leona was then forced to stab her in a new place and retreat before the Medusa attacked with her tail.

[58x]

*Boom!!!

Leona once again managed to get out of the attack area unharmed. The flying dust covered her vision but the red light from the heater shield in front of the Medusa seemed to be getting closer and her temple was stinging again.

"Shit!" cursed Leona.

She immediately put on the Upper Guard and lowered her head. The tip of the Medusa's spear flashed swiftly past the tip of her ear. Before the spear tip could return to its original position, Leona felt a stinging pain on her right cheek and the right side of the heater shield in front of the Medusa turned red.

Leona immediately jumped forward past Medusa's body before rolling away. She quickly stood up and ran because the Medusa's tail was already waiting behind her.

*Boom!!

The Medusa's tail slammed right on the floor where Leona was previously standing, luckily she had moved away and was currently hiding behind a pillar. The Medusa quickly chased after Leona, thus forcing her to hide behind multiple pillars.

{Cat! What happened, why did you behave like a pussy?}

"She has learned my attack pattern!! She is closing the target that I was aiming for with her hands! I was suspicious before of her claws trying to block my stab but I never thought that she would actually cover the place I was aiming for with her hands. What kind of AI does this monster have? It is so smart!" Leona said in annoyance.

{What? Why don't you attack another part of her body?}

"Can't you see I'm enlarging her wound? That way the bleeding she will experience will be bigger and she will die by herself" Leona gnash her teeth.

*Boom!!

Once again she had to roll on the floor to dodge the Medusa's attack. Leona no longer looked elegant, she now resembled a bum who had just been beaten by the masses for being accused of stealing "Karen's" wallet. The red furs on her tail were no longer neat and looked shabby. Sweat was already dripping down her forehead and her face was livid from rolling on the ground.

{What the fuck are you talking about? What do you mean by bleeding? Do you think we are in the real world? Even though this is happening in the real world, your current enemy is a cursed blob in the form of a medusa! Even though it looks like it's bleeding, it doesn't have blood!

{After all, why are you running around like this? Didn't you already know that the Medusa's attacks aren't too dangerous for you?}

"Eh? Don't you see my meager HP? If I keep getting hurt like this then I'll lose before I can kill her!" Leona said while raising her voice a little but in her heart a doubt arose.

{What? Even though you are hurt, she is also hurt. If you keep running like this how can you possibly beat her? Why don't you use your ATP anyway?}

"ATP?" The doubt in Leona's heart grew.

{I thought you didn't ask because you already know what it is used for. But it seems it's my fault for always placing hope on your shit-filled brain!}

Leona's face turned red and it was not because she was running as hard as she could.

{I've searched about ATP before. This is Hendra's comment about ATP.

Hendra: ATP? What's that? Maybe it's Adenosine Triphosphate? hahaha no way, right? eeee... This game is so weird.

Hendra: If ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate then the burst of energy Leona used when she tried to use guard mode for the first time and when she stabbed the golden scarecrow ten times must be ATP.

Hendra: However, it seems that ATP can only be used when using the Art of Battle. (Lol) this game is so weird. But the consumption of energy will be recovered quickly when the player de-activates the art of Battle.

So... Do you understand? Or do I really need to use your skull as a pot for my mushroom?}

Leona really wanted to scratch the back of her head "eee... does that mean I need to use ATP every time I attack? Then deactivate the art of Battle to make it recover quickly?" Leona asked in a very small voice like she was whispering.

{NO! Ah! I forgot you don't understand sarcasm... I mean... YES! Does that mean you can stab faster than before?}

"I think yeah... hmm... How do I do that?" Leona tilted her head as she pouted and asked.

{Don't know. Try to remember what you felt the first time you used the Art of Battle and do the last ten stabs you did to the golden scarecrow}

Leona was silent for a while, "...I think I get it!" she smiled as her eyes lit up.

She stopped running and turned towards Medusa who was chasing behind her.

Medusa sensed danger from the little furry creature in front of her but she didn't care because she had read this little creature's tactics.

Medusa immediately launched her trident toward Leona, which she easily dodged. Medusa wasn't surprised because it was almost the same as before. She immediately covered the wound on her stomach and readied her tail to give Leona a crushing blow and tear her slippery body to pieces.

But Leona didn't care, she activated the Art of Battle and used the Right Guard. The energy stored in each of her cells reacted and created a burst of energy in her right hand which was holding the Kris Bamboo.

"YAAAAAAHHHKKK!!!"

Leona stabbed the Kris Bamboo into Medusa's hand which covered her stomach wound. Even though she felt resistance on the tip of her Kris Bamboo, Leona didn't care.

*Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab!

The flurry of stabs pierced Medusa's palm and severed all five of her fingers. But Leona didn't stop, the Kris Bamboo pierced through the wound in Medusa's stomach, and created an empty tunnel.

*Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab! *Stab!

[68x]

[-10 ATP]

Leona passed through Medusa's body and appeared behind her. But she didn't continue her attack, rather she ran away as she prepared to dodge Medusa's counterattack.

However, Leona seemed to have underestimated her attack. Medusa seemed to freeze after receiving those attacks. Black blood seemed to burst out from the wound and the entire area was filled with black smoke.

"SHAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Medusa screamed and rolled over in pain.

The Instructor's eyes that had been watching absentmindedly lit up. "Inner Powers!?" she said in disbelief at what she had just witnessed.
