Chapter 41 40. Let Me Kill The Monster!

"Good. Now that you have located the enemy, fight him!"

"Why don't you come out and do it in my stead?" Noah had been meaning to ask this question because his system had been ordering him around all this time, doing nothing.

Shane let out a chuckle, "You think my job is easy, think again! You can take my place any minute. I welcome you with all my heart!"

Noah shut his mouth as he dashed forward while fighting with the mannequins at the same time. At this time, he didn't fight the puppets like he usually would. He dodged every single one of them as he directly jumped on their heads and dashed straight towards the bushes. His speed was so fast that even Shane was stunned.

"Wow, I'm so cool!" Noah grinned as he used the sword master skill to the full extent.

"Kill the enemy before boasting. Idiot."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Noah slashed two more mannequins on the way and was just about to touch the bushes when his arms were grabbed once again, and his body was thrown back in a similar way, "F*ck! Don't these monsters have another attack other than throwing me like this at all times?!"

"Would you mind being killed the next time?"

"Ahem," Noah stood there as he stared at the mannequins who seemed to have gathered around the tree, standing in an erect position to protect something, "You do have a plan, don't you?"

"Yes," Shane did have a plan, and it could definitely kill the monster. He stared at the tree with an indifferent glance and said, "I can, but you'll have to excuse me for a moment."

He had seen that an hour of reset time had ended. So he immediately used the controlling tool and took over the body without any hesitation. Then he opened his mouth and said, "My plan depends on your full cooperation with me. Are you ready?"

"What do I have to do?" For some reason, Noah became worried after hearing that tone of his system.

Shane smiled as he pulled out the ice sword, "Just listen to me punctually."

He struck it to the ground and froze the mannequins as he rushed to the tree at a fast pace. In the blink of an eye, he jumped toward the bush and suddenly transferred the control back to Noah, who got scared sh*tless.

Noah: "What the- Why did you give me control in the middle of the air? What should I do?"

"Take your katana. Since you have sword master skill, the probability of you killing the monster is higher than mine," Shane spoke, knowing he was dumping all the responsibilities on his host's shoulders. He could have solved it himself by purchasing a sword master skill himself, but he didn't want to because his attribute wasn't physical strength like Noah's. So even if he could, he would probably be able to use it for a few seconds.

It was a risky job. So it was better if Noah would perform the task since the latter was a better fighter than him at present.

The host said nothing as he attacked that place. As the pointed tip of the katana pierced something hard. After a moment, something fell from the branch to the ground, making a thud echo. Shane glanced at the ground only to see a small mannequin-like little faceless boy. The katana had pierced right in the middle of the face. Blood seeped out of the wound as the hands and legs fell limply to the ground.

The monster seemed to have died.

Noah started at the scene in shock. He glanced at the katana in his hand and grinned, "Did you see what I just did?!"

"Good job. Now, head over to the East-" But, before he could say anything else, the entire ground beneath them started to tremble as if they had just ended up witnessing an Earthquake. Shane's expression changed as he said, "Quick! Move over to the exit!"

Noah also felt like something was off. He immediately started running in that direction, but before he could continue to rush, a mountain started growing from the bottom of his feet and rose higher and higher to the point that by the time Noah stopped, he was already standing on a cliff.

The tree seemed small and he couldn't even see that little boy anymore. Wait, what just happened? Didn't he just kill the controller?

Shane also frowned as he glanced in the direction where the boy fell. He immediately pulled out the recording of the past five minutes and started to watch it keenly. Just then, he noticed something strange.

A thin thread sparked up from the top of the little boy's head and went straight into the ground, merging beneath.

His eyes widened when he realized what was happening. The real monster who was controlling the mannequins wasn't that faceless boy but the ground itself! How could he have mistaken this small thing?

He took a deep breath to calm himself down as he said, "I might have to find a flying skill for you."

But he doubted he could get anything because his host's skills were related to physical strength, not air. The shop of the host worked in a different manner. All the hosts could only see the weapons and skills to purchase related to their attributes, unlike the systems.

So at this time, Shane wanted to find a pair of feathers that could be used with the combined skill of flying like a bird. He immediately opened the shop before the ground monster could do something worse.

After searching, he finally found what he was looking for when he forwarded it to Noah and said, "Host, I have found something for you. Purchase and use them immediately."

"Wait, system…. What's that?" There was a hint of anxiety in Noah's tone as Shane looked up.

The ground on which the cliff was standing cracked open as a monster with deformed face crawled up. Its hands and legs were in the places where they shouldn't be. Its eyes were large with a hint of redness appearing in them.

They moved restlessly before stopping at Noah's face before it opened its mouth at the bottom and roared at the loudest voice possible.

Noah's eyes widened. He was just about to speak when the monster jumped up and appeared right in front of Noah in a split second. With its hands that were above at the place of its head, it attacked Noah with all its force.

The latter's body was thrown back as he hit the trunk of a tree, breaking it into two halves. Blood vomited from Noah's mouth as he worked to open his eyes.

Shane glanced at the radar, which indicated that the monster this time was of level fifteen. He was shocked after seeing this. No wonder this monster looked and attacked like this.

He knew he couldn't deal with this, "Host don't even think of finishing it off. You-"

"You have got to be kidding me, right?" Noah wanted to shake his system's shoulders. "Wake up! If we don't fight this, how are we going to go ahead? And plus, I have been wanting to test my skills and find out what's better? This monster or the skill?"

"You don't have to do it! Just listen to me-"

"Shut up!" Noah wasn't listening anymore. He raised his katana and pointed it at the deformed monster, "Just look at how cool I'd look!"

Shane was the most anxious at this time. He knew that he shouldn't have trusted this stupid, highschooler at a time like this, but he also knew he couldn't use any flying skill himself because none of them would help him shorten the distance between himself and the exit in the matter of a few seconds.

Should he try a teleportation skill?

He wanted to search for it, but there was no time. So he could only grit his teeth and said, "Fine. Let me f*cking kill it this time!"

He immediately purchased the controlling tool and took out the kinslayer from his Inventory.
