BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 Like A Puzzle
A four legged colossal monster tall enough to have its head almost hitting the ceiling while it\'s body is still dipped in lava.
All It\'s set of what can only be described as teeths protruding outside of its mouth together with its tongue stretching all the way to its lower chin.
Ferocious eyes emitting an Aura of fear and dominion, it\'s muscle fibre like skin covered completely in lava and some drenching off of it.
It stood on its four legs, two at the back and two at the front with it\'s long tail situated at its back slapping the lava and trashing it.
"roarrr...."
The monster opened its mouth and roared wildly.
Its roar alone was enough to have the whole room tremble and the ocean lava he was in disperse.
Like water poured in a bowl, and having something heavy thrown inside the bowl.
The way the waters will splatter away is exactly what just happened, except this wasn\'t a water in a bowl but a lava stretching like a river.
"ha, ha, hahahahahaha......."
The Goblin still hanging on the ceiling with the thorn witnessed this and burst into an uncontrollable laughter.
"this, this is madness",
"this is impossible".
"no, no, no, no. This is beyond me",
"this is beyond what I can do",
"there is no way I can fight this".
"i have unknowingly awakened an horror".
The Goblin scrambles his head for techniques and moves that can help him against the monster before him, but he could find none.
The techniques he thought of were techniques with complicated moves for even him to recreate.
To make matters worse, his only offensive skills are thorn related skill, one activates on inanimate object while the other only activates on himself.
He also has the javelin crater explosion with a disadvantage of being too tasky on his body when used for too long.
Continuous use can lead to his body breaking down like before.
Same applies to his mana gathering skill.
One of the reasons why his body broke down faster was partially because he was absorbing mana that is too strong for his body to absorb.
Evidence of his claim is how his body had cracked like some parts were being burnt.
"haaaa...."
"hahaha haha"
"fate, has really been cruel towards me".
"guess I am going to have to go freestyle and make do with what I can".
Having steeled his resolve to not make it out of here alive, he activated all his available skill.
Despite knowing the side effects that will come from using all the skills at once, he still went ahead with it.
There was no other choice left for him.
This was not a fight he can afford being complacent or half hearted on.
He either has to give it his one hundred percent if he wants to live long enough to entertain the monster before him or just submit himself to the monster before it even starts.
Submitting, is no longer a vocabulary in his dictionary.
"not a bad idea dying to a monster as strong and monstrous as you".
He activated his thorn Manipulation Skill and sprouted out the thorn from his feet,
While still hanging onto the thorn, he bent his lower body up with his leg facing the ceiling.
The Goblin sticks the thorn in his feet into the ceiling wall to enable him to stand.
Now, he was now standing upside down with his legs stuck to the wall and his head facing downwards.
He began his first attack with multiple thorns fired consecutively at the monster.
It did nothing as the thorns rained down on it and bounced off of its body.
"i knew this wasn\'t going to be easy, but it\'s even more demoralizing to see it tank my thorns like it was nothing".
The monster retaliated by sending its tail towards the Goblin who ran away from his spot to avoid being crushed.
After changing his location, he fired off multiple thorns once more, this time more reinforced than the thorns he used for his foothold.
The thorns once again bounced off of its thick body.
He continued attacking, with every thorn being more reinforced with every attack.
He had expected something like this to happen, yet he had no other choice but to use this method.
Limited long range skills has led him to relying heavily on thorn erection skill.
Going for a close combat attack is a risky move to make because he has to make contact with the body dripping of lava,
That is why he made that his last resort of attack if need be.
The monster raised one of its front leg up and swung it at the Goblin.
Despite its size, the movement of the hand coming at the Goblin was faster than he thought, even faster than its tail attack.
The Goblin hurriedly detached his leg from the ceiling, sprouted out a thorn in a distanced ceiling and jumps over there with his hand hanging onto it.
With his left hand occupied with holding unto the thorn, he uses his other hand to cast his javelin crater explosion and hurls it at the monster.
"what the....."
The Goblin was taken aback to see even his most prized long distance attack bounce off its skin like it was nothing.
"I am in for one hell of a ride it seems".
He goes back to his stance of his feet touching the ceiling and his head facing down.
with his thorn erection skill, he focuses the thorn on the wall above the monster filling it with sprouted out thorns in circle.
He makes the thorns bigger and bigger.
The walls started showing signs of cracking which is what he was aiming for.
When he deemed it fit that it was enough, he stopped expanding the thorns size and aimed it at the monster.
As expected, the thorns bounced off its body but he had expected that.
What he was after is the crack in the wall made from expanding the thorns.
It\'s like a puzzle, remove the one component keeping the puzzle together and it all comes crashing down.
Just like how the walls in the ceiling started crashing down on the monster.
