Body Enhancement!
As Hanz's wooden staff hummed with a dark violet magical aura, a sudden transfer of energy caused the aura to surge through his body. For a moment, everything seemed normal, but then Arsen noticed a subtle change in Hanz's outward appearance.
As the dark violet aura flowed through Hanz's body, veins began to protrude from his green skin, pulsing with energy, particularly around his temples. But that was just the beginning. Hanz's body seemed to be transforming before Arsen's eyes, becoming more masculine by the second. His muscles rippled with newfound strength, and he grew taller until he stood at an impressive 5 feet in height. The magic was clearly having a profound effect on Hanz, leaving Arsen wondering what other changes were yet to come.
Thud!
Hanz's transformation came to an end, Arsen was left reeling, still processing the sheer power and magnitude of the magic he had witnessed. But before he could make sense of it all, Hanz had already made his escape, leaving behind only the evidence of his incredible strength. Arsen watched as Hanz's feet, shaped like powerful roots, sank deep into the ground, causing cracks to spiderweb out from beneath them. The force he had unleashed was so great that a shockwave rippled through the vicinity, sending bushes and dust flying in all directions. Arsen stood there, stunned and awestruck, wondering what other secrets the enigmatic Hanz might hold.
Arsen's arms shot up in a defensive stance the moment Hanz's wooden staff struck the air, making a sharp, dangerous sound. The move had been lightning fast, leaving no room for error.
Arsen furrowed his brow as he braced himself for the monster's massive force, feeling it bearing down on him. His feet began to slide on the ground, causing him to lose five meters of ground to Hanz. "This is serious," he thought to himself. With a couple of quick steps backward, he gave himself some space to assess the situation and come up with a plan.
T
hud!
In the blink of an eye, the monster materialized before Arsen once again. But this time, something was different. Hanz had abandoned his wooden staff and was now fully extending his arm, aiming for a devastating body blow.
Although Hanz was slightly less agile than Arsen, his movements were still swift enough that Arsen could track them easily with his unaided eyes.
Arsen detected the incoming punch aimed at him, but his response was sluggish. Retreating was no longer a viable option, as it was clear that Hanz would be able to reach him regardless.
"Crossing my arms once again would only result in injury from the monster's powerful blows." Arsen was no fool; he knew the goblin's strength was sufficient to harm him. Therefore, instead of attempting to block the attack by crossing his arms, Arsen resolved to aim his dagger towards the direction where he could perceive the goblin's hand approaching.
Suddenly, a spray of green blood erupted into the air, accompanied by the goblin's anguished groans. Arsen's dagger had pierced the monster's palm, driven with such force that it penetrated far deeper than intended.
-89
A numeral materialized above the monster's head, indicating some measure of its current state. Curiously, despite the relatively low number displayed, Hanz was still unable to conceal his discomfort.
Swish!
Arsen was acutely aware that remaining stationary for too long was not an option. The reason was simple: Hanz was still capable of wielding his other hand. The worst-case scenario would be if Hanz conjured a wooden staff imbued with magical energy and aimed it towards Arsen.
Swish! Bang!
As anticipated, Hanz swung his arm with full force, causing his wooden staff to collide with the ground and unleash a small explosion that sent rocks scattering in all directions, leaving a spiderweb pattern imprinted on the surface.
Hanz's teeth clenched, his gaze furious as he stared down Arsen.
"You..."
Arsen couldn't let his guard down, despite having managed to inflict some damage. The truth was, the damage he had dealt was little more than a mere tickle in comparison to the monster's full health power. In other words, it was not nearly enough to restrain Hanz or make a meaningful dent in his strength.
Splash!
Arsen swung his arm forcefully, flinging the sticky green blood from his dagger. "Taking down this creature was no easy feat," he muttered, grimacing as he inspected his weapon. "It still has a whopping 99% of its health power."
With 8,000 health power, the -89 damage Arsen inflicted was a mere scratch on the monster. To take down this creature, he knew he had to continuously deal damage, chipping away at its strength bit by bit. But that wasn't the only problem. Arsen suspected that the monster had the ability to regenerate lost health power in a short period of time, making the task even more daunting."
The only good thing here, he witnessed his dagger could penetrate the creature's skin.
Rapid Dash!
An afterimage lingered where the monster had stood moments ago. Suddenly, Hanz reappeared behind Arsen, his arm glowing with three violet rings as he unleashed another skill. With this move, he augmented his physical strength, capable of knocking back his opponent for a few critical seconds.
Ring Body Shot!
Those violet rings were more than mere decorations. When Hanz's fist made contact with his target, they served as conduits to amplify the damage inflicted. It was as if the rings absorbed the force of the blow, directing it towards the enemy with lethal precision. But it wasn't just about strength. Hanz's speed was equally important in his fighting style.
Bang!
Without warning, Hanz's fist connected with Arsen's arms, sending him hurtling through the air. The impact was so strong that Arsen only came to a stop after colliding with one of the wooden houses in the nearby camp, his body slamming into the wall with a resounding thud.
Arsen coughed up blood, his body wracked with pain as he hit the wall. He checked his health power and saw that it had plummeted to 45% in an instant. His situation was dire, and he knew that even a small mistake could mean the end for him. To make matters worse, Hanz still had two violet rings wrapped around his arm, a clear indication that his attack was far from over.
Without a moment's hesitation, Hanz charged forward, ready to unleash the full power of his remaining violet rings. Arsen was in agony, but he refused to give up. He quickly regained his footing, even though he knew the odds were against him. "I can't do this alone...?"
Bang!
Arsen knew he couldn't afford to waste a single moment. Rather than getting back on his feet, he decided to spin on the ground, using the momentum to propel himself forward. In a matter of seconds, the surrounding woods were sent flying as Hanz's fist landed on the wall.
Swoosh!
Turning back right now was a foolish idea. Why? Ever since Arsen's main plan was to earn enough distance against this monster, so why he would run away if that chance was already in front of him? Yes, he did understand the difficulty of confronting this creature head-to-head due to the changes in its physical strength.
"I will never if I continue to turn back. I must do something, or needless to say, surpass my limit."
With a swift movement, Arsen's daggers pierced through the monster's chest, causing green blood to gush out. He managed to land a critical hit on the monster, which lowered its health power to 60%. Hanz let out a loud roar in pain, but he was not going down easily. He quickly retaliated with a spell that launched a powerful bolt of lightning towards Arsen.
Arsen's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly moved to the side, dodging the lightning bolt. He realized that he could not let his guard down for even a second against Hanz, as the monster's strength was still a force to be reckoned with. The battle continued, with both Arsen and Hanz unleashing their most potent attacks against each other. It was a grueling battle, but Arsen managed to chip away at Hanz's health power little by little.
Arsen was not finished as he cast one of the strongest skills of his ring which was the Power Surge.
The battle continued, with both Arsen and Hanz unleashing their most potent attacks against each other. It was a grueling battle, but Arsen managed to chip away at Hanz's health power little by little. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Hanz's health power was reduced to zero. The monster let out a final groan before falling to the ground, dead. Arsen let out a deep breath, relieved that the battle was finally over. He had managed to defeat the powerful monster
I win? This question his mind while seeing the different items falling to the ground. Not only that, but he also spotted a treasure chest at the place Hanz got destroyed. Moreover, the remaining goblins were starting to get frightened.
"The Power Surge still has an effect. I should kill them before I run out of time."
