Chapter 78: Chapter 78- Achievement Of a Lifetime

Talon daringly stared at the monster with a wicked grin as he rested his spear on his shoulder. He didn't seem like he was terrified of the Grim Roamer anymore and was instead the one in control at that moment.

However, the truth couldn't be anything further from that. In simple words, Talon's body was completely exhausted to the point where Acrypha thought it was a miracle he was still standing and even ready to fight.

Ignoring the gaping hole in his side, Talon's entire body was just a bloody mess. Countless cuts and bruises covered his skin like tattoos. He had broken a few ribs and damaged his internal organs heavily. Not to mention the amount of blood he lost after all of that.

If it wasn't for his superhuman strength and continuous evolution, she was sure that he would've died right there and then. But, his iron will and pride kept him on his feet.

'I need to finish this... Before I completely collapse.' Exhaling a small, extremely tired breath, Talon aimed his spear at the monster.

"Ok, if you won't stand up, then I'm going to finish you off." He said as he dashed toward the monster suddenly.

The monster realized what he wanted to do and immediately opened its mouth as it activated its skill. However, Talon had already anticipated that attack and immediately jumped to the side, barely avoiding the wave that blew the entire area behind him off the face of the earth.

Then, the young man continued his sprint toward his target. The Grim Roamer visibly panicked as it activated the skill again and yet Talon was able to avoid it. The fact that the monster can't move made it way easier to predict where the attack was going to come from.

However, that didn't mean that the effect of it didn't hit Talon at all. With each sound wave, Talon's eardrums would shake violently, sending waves of pain across his brain. Blood leaked out of his ears and dripped down his neck. Squinting slightly as he clenched his teeth, the young man tried to ignore that pain.

'Come on, I'm close!!' He cursed inwardly as he leaped in the air, crossing the remaining distance between him and the monster.

The latter immediately screeched as it extended its still-working hand and tried to slam Talon to the ground. However, Talon immediately shifted his balance in the air as he spun forward. That sudden move stretched his injured side and almost made him lose concentration from the hellish pain.

However, Talon bit his tongue so hard that it bled as he regained his composure. Then, using his hands Talon landed on the monster's hand as he pushed himself back into his feet and dashed across its arm as fast as he could.

The creature immediately screeched as it immediately used another sound wave aimed at its hand.

"I don't think that's a good idea, buddy." Talon made a toothy grin as he immediately leaped in the air again, avoiding the wave before it smashed into the monster's arm. The hit pushed the arm down as the creature howled in pain.

Meanwhile, Talon landed on the monster's head as he quickly stabbed down with his spear, aiming for the skull. However, before the spear could dig through the skull, the monster shook its head violently, throwing Talon off.

The young man landed on the ground as he rolled before he landed on his knees.

"Hah... Hah... I was close... I pierced through the bones, but I couldn't hit the brain." He murmured with a pained look. As he tried to stand up, Talon felt a sudden burning feeling in his throat.

"Blurgh!!" Immediately, he threw up a mouthful of blood on the ground. His eyes widened slightly as he felt a sick, cold feeling fill up his chest.

Reaching her human quickly, Acrypha quickly landed on her knees as she pulled him out of the rubble with a horrified look. Talon's appearance was so horrible that even for an ancient being like Acrypha that had witnessed countless dead corpses, she could only frown seeing Talon.

He simply looked too terrifying at that moment. However, she still pulled him out and hugged him tightly as she let his head rest on her hand.

Talon's closed eyes seemed to open a little as he felt warmth engulf him. His vision was blurry, but he could capture in the far distance, the Grim Roamer laying on the ground as it was bleeding violently.

The attack had severed one of its aretries and it was now struggling to stop the bleeding. Tens of gallons of blood on the ground. Its howls of pain echoed in the entire vicinity before they also slowly weakened till they couldn't be heard anymore.

Eventually, the monster's struggles stopped too as it finally lied down, motionless.

"Is it... over?" He asked in an extremely tired tone.

"You bastard..." She murmured. "You did it... You really did it..." Acrypha replied in a complicated tone. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that moment. Talon had litteraly done the impossible and achieved something that no creature before him could've ever done.

Hearing those words, Talon's tired expression turned into a smile, a bloody yet still happy smile.

"Haha, I told you... My genius... is boundless..." He said as he closed his eyes and enjoyed Acrypha's arms wrapped around him. The blissful feeling made his pained body feel like it was floating between the clouds.
