Chapter 16: Intruder Arc (2)

Chapter 16: Intruder Arc (2)

I grabbed the painting and removed it from the wall, revealing the secret hole, and without a second thought, I jumped inside.

It was dark and there were a lot of stairs leading to the bottom.

The hallway was long and the temperature was very cold, it was a hidden underground basement and there seemed to only be one exit: the entrance.

But no worries, the heat of the hatred was keeping me warm and alive.

And after a minute of descending, I could hear voices.

"HELP, PLEASE!" It was Mina's pleading voice.

"Shut the fuck up bitch, nobody is coming" the villain replied.

I turned a corner and reached the source of the sound.

I saw a half opened big metal door and an open vent on the side, probably to give air, and behind the door was a small room.

Mina was there, tied up and laying on the floor, and the brown haired beastmen was standing on top of her.

I lost my cool at that moment, I don't care what happens anymore.

"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER" I yelled as I charged in.

"Huh?" The villain turned around and was surprised, "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

"I am the one who's gonna rip your body apart you coward."

The guy smiled as I approached him, "HAHAHAHA, do you think a fucking child like you can even lay a scratch on me? nove-lb/1n

"..."

"FUCKING TRY IT."

He tried punching me with his fist, but the speed was too slow.

I dodged his attack easily and countered by hitting him on the chin.

"WHAT?!"

The villain was shocked and didn't expect to get hit, especially by someone whose physique is smaller than his.

Realizing that I was actually dangerous, he finally unleashed his real power.

A greenish aura enveloped his body and sharp claws came out of his hands, in addition his speed had tripled.

I previously said that this man was weak, but I don't think it's true, it was just that the main character was too strong.

He rushed in my direction at full speed and aimed at my chest, the realization hit me way too late as I felt the claws rip my body.

"Tsk..."

It was painful, but the adrenaline of the moment made the pain feel numb, and I was able to continue.

I kicked him out into one of the walls so hard he spat some blood, but he got up again and prepared to charge another attack.

"He has weapons and I only have my bare hands to fight, plus I can't use any tricks in here..." I clicked my tongue and thought deeply, "but I can't die here, even if it seems unwinnable"

I have to survive and rescue Mina.

"Hmph"

I stood upright and glared at the man infront of me, his expression was of a mix between joy and excitement.

"I am gonna enjoy killing you."

The battle continued.

I ran and avoided the villain's attacks as much as possible, but his speed was unmatchable, and eventually I would almost always get hit.

"Just stay still, brat."

He was clearly frustrated and didn't want the fight to continue.

I was tired and exhausted, I couldn't run anymore and had to find a way out, but no matter how many times I tried to dodge his attacks, he always predicted my movements.

"This is not good, my injuries are getting worse"

I'm sure I can't last any longer, I'll soon collapse if this continues, this man really wasn't as weak as the novel made him out to be...

"This is the last attack, you fought well kiddo, but now it's time to die" he had a psychotic grin on his face, he really enjoyed seeing others suffer it seems...

I turned my head in the direction Mina was, and I could see her with tears streaming down on her.

And that's when it hit me.

"If I can't avoid his attacks... then I just have to make up for it another way!"

The beastmen charged one last time and dashed forward, but in opposition to what he thought I would do, I also rushed in his direction, towards the sharp claws.

"Have you finally lost your mind?" he laughed while piercing my body again with his weapons.

"No... you are the one who's gonna lose" I gouged out blood and gave him a nasty smile.

Then I grabbed the hand that was stuck in my flesh and smashed the claws that were on it, thus breaking them all.

"Grah!!" he shouted in pain and backed away from me.

If I can't win in a contest of speed, then I can definitely compensate with my abnormal strenght.

And just as the man was backing off and was ready to attack again, I moved faster than him and punched his guts.

"GAH!!!" he was sent flying against the wall and coughed a lot of blood.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH" his tone changed, it was no longer prideful.

But no matter how fast he could get, I would always be stronger, and every punch, kick or claw that came at me would be blocked, after all he only had one hand he could use now, meaning his speed was useless.

Realizing that his situation was getting complicated, he did the most cowardly thing I expected him to do: go to Mina and hold her up while putting the sharp claws close to her neck.

"I knew you were a coward" I said.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! If you move an inch I will slice her throat and bleed her dry."

"..."

I can't do anything... not while she is in danger.

"Alright, alright, calm down" I raised both of my arms, "don't hurt her."

Such a coward, he has to rely on a hostage to get himself out of this situation.

The sight before my eyes angered me so much I didn't wish for anything other then to grab this guy and kill him with my own two hands.

Wait... I GOT IT!

I breath a bit to concentrate and increased the power around me.

The hatred aura was now everywhere on my body, and it seemed immensely deadly.

[Power surcharge, cannot use this much power at current level, deactivating skill in ten seconds.]

But 10 seconds were more than enough for me.

And as the villain thought he had me in the palm of his hand, I dashed with immense speed towards him, of course he realized it instantly and tried to kill Mina by slashing her throat, but I was so fast that I reached him before he could do anything.

Then I pushed him into the wall and started punching him over and over.

"FUCK YOU!"

Over and over and over, the speed of my punches increasing each time.

Daemon when fighting this guy didn't kill him as he didn't think of him as a threat, instead he knocked him out and handed him to the teachers.

But in my case...

If i don't kill him, it's over.

I would pass out in less than five seconds because of the power surcharge so I had no other option.

"GRAAAAAHHH!!!!" I screamed as loud as possible before giving the finishing blow.

And as I stood up to look at the scene before my eyes, I realized just how far I had gone: the man's bones were probably all broken, his face was a mess and he was bathing in his own blood.

I killed him, with my own hands.

[Power surcharge, skill deactivated, system user will pass out from exhaustion.]
