Chapter 40: Killing Mountain (2)

I hope I get the [Physical Attack Immunity] skill but why do I feel that I won't be able to get it?

"System, how can I defeat this humanoid?"

*The host's access to that kind of information is low. The host won't be able to obtain any information about the beings of chaos. High-tier information is needed to access that kind of information.*

The scarlet humanoid transformed its other hand and slashed both sword-shaped hands towards me.

I countered the slashes by conjuring two swords made out of magic and used my sword energy, infusing it on my two swords.

I wielded the two swords in both of my hands and performed an X slash. I performed consecutive cuts and slashes towards the humanoid while the latter copied my every move.

I rarely landed a hit on the humanoid since its speed is much faster than mine but even if I landed a hit, it will only pass through, rendering my attacks useless.

I wasn't planning on hastily defeating this humanoid. I planned to adopt while being pressured by the Killing Mountain's aura and also improve my swordsmanship.

I cast the null or neutral magic [Multiple] whenever I used [Wind Blade] to improve the levels of my skills.

Multiple wind blades assaulted the humanoid and it even didn't bother to dodge knowing that my attacks are meaningless.

I kept on dodging to avoid the attacks of the humanoid but few cuts were present in both my body and clothes as a few of the humanoid's attacks successfully landed on me.

Thanks to my light magic known as [Heal], the cuts were no longer present as I had healed it but I still lost some blood.

My defense stat was gradually rising as I kept on enduring the pressure that the Killing Mountain had exuded.

********

6 hours had passed but the fight between the humanoid and I was continuing.

I managed to recover my stamina using [Recovery] so I was able to fight one-on-one with the humanoid without taking any break.

The only problem was that I lack combat experience since I only studied basic self-defense techniques back on Earth.

Not to mention that I seldom used my sword and just kept on spamming magic attacks.

My speed, attack, and defense stats drastically improved and my swordsmanship skill was now MAX level but I might reach Legend Tier Swordsmanship if I went on for a week.

It's getting nowhere as all I did was dodged and received the attack of the humanoid while all of my attacks went through it.

I was getting some combat experience and training so I didn't bother in finding its weakness and just kept on fighting until I could overpower its stats.

I cast [Mana Barrier] to trap the humanoid and then a light blue translucent barrier was generated using my mana.

The humanoid passed through the mana barrier. Is mana also considered as matter? Or my form of mana was considered as matter while there are other forms of mana that are considered as not matter?

I had read a book that I had 'borrowed' in the Elven Library in my spare time and it was about the different forms of mana.

The mana that all beings had used from the beginning until now was known as Universal Mana. It is colored light blue and almost all beings used this mana such as myself.

There was also divine mana which was used by divine beings while the antithesis of it was demonic mana. The former was colored bright yellow while the latter was colored gray.

The only man that was colored jet black was calamity mana or also known as disaster mana.

There was also mana that was not used for a long time. Probably it was forbidden or this generation had a lack of access to chaos mana. Chaos mana was colored purple but the tricky part of it was it can disguise into other mana.

An example of that was it could change its color into light blue, making it looked like universal mana.

So I'm guessing that the Chaos race is using chaos mana? If it so then I'm dead if the seal was released. Good thing the Gods' weren't slacking off from their work.

*Of course the Gods' weren't slacking off. After all, if they did slack off, then the universe would collapse and the restraints of this world would be released.*

I figured that much. But they were some irresponsible bastards who let their so-called 'children' handle the battle.

And if I ask them why they weren't the ones participating in the battle, then they would likely reply that I was created by them so I should at least be grateful.

If I'm going to retort that my mother was the one who gave birth to me, then they would reply: Who created her mother then and the first humans known as Adam and Eve?

It's not like I could reply that they were evolved monkeys because that was just complete nonsense and even a person who was fond of science such as myself knows that.

While I was lost in thought, I snapped back into reality as I felt that my stomach was hot and I felt an intense pain on my stomach.

I coughed out blood and as I faced the one who did it, I saw the scarlet-colored humanoid emit its dark red mana and formed a sword with it which was now stabbed into my stomach.

I infused my hand with mana and formed a blade with it which I then used to cut the sword that was stabbed into my stomach.

The blade of the sword was still present in my stomach so I pulled it out in an instant. Blood trickled from my stomach as I was losing some of my blood.

*Warning! The host has only 79% percent of blood left! It is continuing to decrease every second! 77%, 76%...*

I cast [Gate] since I was planning to do a tactical retreat. But sometimes reality was a b*tch because after I cast [Gate], it suddenly dissipates so it seems that Killing Mountain restricted the use of space magic.

Must be to prevent cowards from not getting killed.

I cast [Heal] into the injury on my stomach and I even need to spam it numerous times just to cover the wound and prevent the blood from leaking.

My wound was completely healed but the problem was that I lost 47% of my blood. I tried to remember the compilation of skill books that I had read about healing in the Elven Library but unfortunately, the only skill that could turn mana into blood was the skill known as [Bloody Mana].

It could only be used by the vampires and what's more, was that I need to drink the blood of others that had the same blood type as mine to turn my mana into the blood of the person that I had drunk from.

It was a skill that needs few requirements but the requirements were all crucial. And the requirements were something I couldn't fulfill in my current situation.

What's weird was that after the humanoid stabbed me with its sword, it didn't move an inch after that. It was as if it was being controlled by someone or something.

I took this chance to bombard it with several skills such as [Wind Blade], [Water Blade], and other skills except for fire since I might cause a forest fire in here since the foot of the mountain was a forest.

Even though the humanoid was standing still without moving an inch, all of my attacks missed since all of them passed through.

Looks like I'm in for an experience of what's being near death's door felt like!

I must give it my all to defeat the freaking humanoid whatever the consequences will be! It's done or die! [Berserk]!

My skin started to turn dark red, my line of sight was becoming narrow while my stats gradually rise as every second passed by. It felt as if I was in an adrenaline rush.

I formed several swords and cast [Elemental Sword Formation] which I then used to assault the humanoid that was still not moving.

Just die dammit!

[Near The Holy Church]

Someone's PoV:

I was currently hiding in the forest on top of the tree while spying on the heroes and people of the holy church's actions.

Finally! That d*mn goblin had left his teammates for several hours so now I don't have to worry about him interfering with my plans!

Without their mastermind, the monster heroes wouldn't be able to hold a candle against me!

I was starting to formulate my plan on how to invade the holy church since there was a barrier to protect the holy church from invaders such as myself.

Fortunately, I had obtained a Legendary Rank skill known as [Barrier Ignorance] and [Conceal Presence].

I activated [Barrier Ignorance], [Conceal Presence], [Stealth] which made me successfully infiltrate the barrier.

As I enter the outside of the holy church, a small house near it caught my attention.

I'm going to destroy it first since it looks like I can just slam it with my hand and it will be destroyed in mere seconds!

"I, Pedonar Kronos, the demon prince will now commence my plan!"
