The reason why Randy was not afraid of the cold energy that could pervade into his body and cause harm to him was that he was now in his full assimilated state, in other words, that there was barely anything that could cause any significant damage to his current physique that was on par with an S-Rank awakened's body.
Not to mention, his current dual-assimilated state which further improved his basic statistics, causing it to temporarily reach above the physical strength of a normal S-Rank.
Thus he was able to form a sort of ice blade with his hand from using the ice spell technique. Using the resulting spell technique, frost hand, he was able to inflict damages on the other party who seemed unfazed by his punching technique a while ago.
After a while of slashing the other party, he suddenly changed his pattern of attack and started to pierce them relentlessly all over their body instead.
Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk!
Roar———
At this moment, the chimera monster was being unceasingly attacked and its body started to look like a hornet's nest just from Randy's brutal attack that was filled with sharp cold energy.
Occasionally, the chimera monster would swing its arms around in hopes of hitting its enemy, but Randy would always barely dodge it and then pierce it afterward in its blind spot.
This also caused the frustrated chimera monster to randomly attack based on where it was pierced from, but Randy had predicted such a possibility and thus quickly maneuvered away after each attack on the other party.
After landing countless attacks on the chimera monster's body, Randy was feeling confident in killing this monster, but at the same time, he was feeling fatigued from using his dual-assimilated state for about 10 minutes now.
'I need to hurry up. I need to find a way to discover its weakness quickly.' He silently thought with a pained expression.
All this time, he had been using his mental ability, All Law Seeker, to find out the weakness of the chimera monster without any results.
This was his first time using this ability in real life ever since he had acquired it. He never even thought of using it during his encounter with the sunglasses man since the battle at the time did not give him the chance to use something like that.
Besides, it takes time for him to activate his mental ability, and thus he needed the opponents to be rooted on the same spot for a moment for it to work properly.
But right now, there was one target, so it was relatively easy to execute his mental ability, however, up until now, he had tried using it on the chimera monster, but he could not find any weakness on its huge body.
He wondered if it was because this mental ability was still in its initial state or simply because the chimera monster was too strong, so it did not have any weakness.
With the intent to find out the reason for this, he kept on using his mental ability in between the time that he launched his attack and the time that he dodged to the side to avoid the onslaught from the other party.
But by doing so, he was also speeding up the mental exhaustion caused by using the dual-assimilated state and thereby lessening the time that he could stay in that state.
Which was frustrating but he could not think of any other way to beat this chimera monster. And thus, he kept on attacking it repeatedly and using his mental ability at the same time.
However, Randy was not aware that all of his attacks were being healed as he landed them on the other party's body due to not being able to see anything at this moment.
All he could see was a vague existence in his infrared vision and a massive amount of chaotic energy in their body.
Furthermore, even if he could see the other party, there was no guarantee that he would be able to recognize that their wound was being healed since it was currently dark outside.
Although, he was able to see that whenever he landed an attack on the other party, one of their energies moved or rather get depleted but he did not think much of it.
That was because he was trying to overwhelm the other party before he started suffering the side effects and possibly the aftereffects of using the dual-assimilated state for a prolonged time and thus he could not afford to think about unnecessary things in this battle.
And thus the ceaseless attacks continued on for a few more minutes with Randy feeling more exhausted than he initially thought he would after using his mental ability a couple of times during the battle.
Due to this, his attacks were also beginning to slow down, and it was also getting hard to dodge the chimera monster's random attacks.
Slash!
Drip!
At this moment, his arm that he used to block in front of himself was slashed through by the claw of the chimera monster when he suddenly felt sluggish a moment after landing his attack.
'This is getting too dangerous. Does this chimera monster not have any weakness…? Then what other methods can I use to fight against it?'
While he was thinking this, suddenly he felt his body getting numb and soon, was unable to move, unable to speak, and even unable to keep his assimilated state in control anymore.
'Shit! What the fuck is going on?!' He exclaimed in shock and felt an unprecedented fear for the first time since he awakened.
'What is going on with my body? Why can't I move? More importantly, why is my assimilated state wearing off one by one…?'
Randy could not speak at this moment, so he could only ask these questions inside his mind. And even when he wanted to shout his frustration, he could not do so.
It was now that it finally dawned on him that he really could not utter a single word, not to mention shout his voice at the moment to demand from the other party what it had done to him.
While he was in a shocked and bewildered state of mind as he remained rooted on the same spot and observing his assimilated forms disappearing one after another, the chimera monster who finally found its prey roared so loudly that it caused Randy's eardrum to ring from the sudden shout.
But then he realized that he could not even cover his ears since his arms were frozen and a moment later, he was now helplessly bleeding out from his two ears.
'Fuck! Fuck! What did this bastard do to my body? When did it happen? Was it when I was attacked just now? But this is not the first time that I was attacked by its claw attack, so what happened this time around?' Randy cursed inwardly and hurriedly pondered the reason as to why he could not move his body suddenly.
But the next moment, before he could even try to endure the pain from the other party's sound attack just now, he saw that the other party was suddenly charging over after discovering his location.
'Oh no! It's coming over! I need to move my body right now, or else I am done for!! Shit! Move! Move! Move, damn it!' Randy screamed inwardly in apprehension.
