BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64: Adaptive Battle!!! (Fixed)
"Boom!"
The embedded skull of the Stonemen instantly exploded into smithereens, bone and shredded meat escaping the point of impact as the upper half of the Stonemen\'s body was buried deep in the ground.
"Rooooar!" "Rooooar!!" "Rooooar!!!"
It was at this period the Stonemens snapped out of their shock. They immediately released earth shattering roars that created overlapping shockwaves that spread out for several kilometers.
In that instant, they rushed towards Tron with extreme speed, causing the ground to shake as they crushed the boulders in their way.
Tron\'s face changed slightly. He had only been able to kill two magical creatures using surprise attacks. Now that the rest had recovered, there was no way they would allow him to pick them off one by one.
Tron huffed, releasing hot steams from his nostrils. Stretching his hands, he grabbed at the blade behind his back and immediately slashed Megaton forwards.
"BANG!"
[+1 physique, +10 limit points ]
[+2.9 strength, +10 limit points ]
[+1 agility, +10 limit points ]
The blade vibrated intensely as it slammed into the hardened body of an Acolyte level Stonemen, sending it sideways like a baseball. It\'s body crashing against the wall of a small hill.
With a dull thud, Tron\'s left foot slammed heavily on the grass, creating uneven cracks that spread out for several tens of meters, dodging the fist of one of the Stonemen. He raised his kneel, and a dull thud sounded when it collided against the chest of the Stonemen.
"Crack!"
The force made the Stonemen stagger until it fell backwards. However Tron felt his kneel cap shattered from the force.
[+5 physique, +100 limit points ]
[+5 strength, +100 limit points ]
[+1 agility, +100 limit points ]
Using a level 9 force against a magical beast wasn\'t that effective, luckily he had activated Blood Burn otherwise, his entire leg bones would have shattered to splinters.
Stablizing himself, he turned his torso and his leg lifted high as he abruptly kicked out. With another bang, the head of the third Stonemen tilted backwards as small cracks appeared on its Stone head.
"BANG!"
[+10 physique, +1000 limit points ]
[+10 strength, +1000 limit points ]
[+7 agility, +700 limit points ]
Suddenly, Tron felt immense pain on his shoulders and his entire left arm went numb as his vision blurred.
The fourth and the fifth Stonemen had actually used this opportunity to attack him with a massive log.
The ground cracked as his kneel forcefully smashed into the ground with a muffled thump sound.
Tron\'s eyes turned red as the Blood burn ability reduced his intellectual process and he immediately became very angry.
Without hesitation, he slapped his palm forwards a against the fourth Stoneman\'s head, activating Blood Blade for the second time.
"BOOM!"
The chest of the Stoneman shattered as he was sent flying into the air like a cannon ball.
Tron immediately placed Megaton before him, holding it with both hands. Just half a millisecond later, a massive fist headed for his chest slammed into the blade.
"BAM!"
Tron was thrown backwards like a bag of sack, bouncing on the ground like a badly made football.
[+5 physique, +5000 limit points ]
[+4 strength, +400 limit points ]
[+3 agility, +300 limit points ]
Quickly regaining his bearing, Tron twisted his waist as he landed on the ground steadily with the remaining kinetic force dragging him backwards by ten meters.
The kinetic energy hadn\'t faded when a massive shadow that bloated the sun covered him like a shade.
There was no hesitation in Tron\'s face as he immediately tossed himself to the side as though diving in a pool.
"BANG!"
The ground shattered and dust rose to the skies in a plum of cloud.
Just as the dust cleared, a crimson light suddenly illuminated the fifth Stoneman\'s body.
With its white eyes, two crimson blades could be seen enlarging and with a massive boom, it was blasted away like an artillery shell.
Tron\'s eyes were extremely bloodshot. The veins in his eyes could be seen spreading even outside the side of his eyes like that of a demon slayer\'s veins.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Blood and foam splattered to the ground like a coffee mix, staining the forest ground red.
Just as Tron was relieved after spitting out the blood, he saw the other Stonemen had managed to recover their bearing.
Three more Stonemen with Magus strength and about seven Stonemen with Peak Acolyte strength.
If it were an ordinary magus, they would have given up and be ready for their death but Tron was different.
The stronger his opponent, the stronger he would become.
Except for one thing though. There was a notification at the edge of his vision that made Tron spit out another mouthful of blood.
[WARNING!!! : Muscles have reached capped limit of Acolyte Magus, and currently at the verge of evolution. Please, prepare a safe space to evolve in (8mins: 01secs : 10milisec) for you would be rendered defenseless for some time.]
Tron\'s was almost in despair. It was no wonder he didn\'t manage to evolve once his stats reached the limit. He had been wondering during his battle when his body would adapt and evolve to the Magus realm. Turns out he would be rendered defendless for a period of time.
Tron even suspect the system was assisting him in holding the evolution off since he would definitely die if he evolved right now.
However, he was currently being encircled by the Stonemen and could not escape at this moment.
His hand reached for a Flesh gourd in his pocket. Thus magical item was his last hope since he didn\'t want to give up the assignment.
This was the only way he could gather resources as the academy had hold off giving him resources for a month.
"How can I escape here?"
Tron\'s eyes flashed as he thought about what to do.
The first Magus level Stonemen arrived before Tron, slamming the heavy log in its hands against Tron\'s head, intending to smash it to pieces.
Tron didn\'t dare meet it directly and simply dodged to the side as the log of wood brushed past his ears, drawing blood and slamming into the ground.
[+1 physique, +10 limit points ]
[+1 strength, +10 limit points ]
[+0.7 agility, +7 limit points ]
The second magus level Stoneman sent a massive punch which twisted the air and broke through several sound barrier at Tron\'s chest which was now facing its way.
Tron\'s eyes reddened in anger he bent his knees and also punched back.
"Whoosh!"
"BAM!"
Tron\'s face flushed even more red as he staggered backwards ten steps. While the Stoneman simply staggered seven steps backwards.
[+10 physique, +1000 limit points ]
[+10 strength, +1000 limit points ]
[+10 agility, +1000 limit points ]
This made Tron\'s humphed coldy. If it had been a one on one battle, he would be able to kill a Magus level magical beast without using Blood Blade.
In the instant, Tron managed to twist his head to the side as another massive log of wood slide against his head and slammed directly into his shoulder.
Blood ppfted out of Tron\'s nose and mouth as the force compelled him to kneel. However, his kneel actually didn\'t touch the ground this time. He was actually able up to withstand the attack.
However, a massive shadow descended on him as a large, smelling stone feet kicked directly at his chest.
"DING!"
Megaton oscillated violently and threatened to fall from Tron\'s grip as he was sent flying backwards.
However, Tron staggered backwards rapidly and managed to regain his footing as he landed on the ground.
He was actually getting used to their attack patterns. If he had enough time, he would have definitely farmed limit points and stat points front them. However, there was the 7 minutes left till he would be rendered defenseless.
"What a bummer. "
If only he possess the Blink spell rune, then it would have been much easier to flee. However, ifs are only ifs.
"BOOM!"
A Stoneman jumped and leapt right on top of him right when Tron managed to roll over to the sides. However, a massive rock pierced through the air like a bullet smashing directly against Tron\'s head.
The rock shattered into dust as rock shards scattered in all directions. Tron staggered backwards and his expression changed slightly as blood flowed down his head. The other weaker Stonemen have realized he was getting used to the attacks and immediately changed tactics and used their long ranged attacks.
It was no wonder magical creatures are considered scary, but they are known for their intellect.
Tron staggered backwards only to see another attack his way.
His body twisted as he swung Megaton forward.
"BAM!"
His arms almost went numb as his legs drifted backwards. Using the kinetic and rebounding force, Tron flew twenty meters backwards.
In midair, he suddenly twisted his waist and with a low roar, he slashed the blade behind him.
"Slash!"
