While the beast kept belching out black flames at him from afar, Bernard decided to do something instead so far he had been running from the beast if he wanted to have a chance at defeating it, then he needed to know how strong it was while looking at the beast Bernard cast his Appraise skill at it, then in the next moment, a screen appeared before his line of sight.
[Name:DracoLizard]
[Basic tier:demon Beast]
[Hp:Higher than Host]
[???]
Bernard had a look of surprise as he looked at what was written on the screen, usually when he cast Appraise on any of his opponents it would show at least a few things about his opponent, such as their Health points and if they were hostile or not, but unlike with symbiote users, he couldn't see the demon beast Health points, not only that although he knew the beast was clearly hostile yet he couldn't see it on the screen, and what was even more surprising was the fact the Health point on the beast status screen stated the beast had a higher health point than him.
He didn't know what to make out of it, whether he should be happy with his system or simply be angry, nevertheless this thought had confirmed the beast was not a magical but demon beast instead, but in this case, it was just the basic tier of a demon beast considering high tier demon beast were not only incredibly powerful but they also possess a high level of intelligence as well, after seeing the tier Bernard soon calm down he had been running before, thinking the beast might be an extremely high tier demon beast.
However, he still maintain his guard, since his vampire instinct had screamed at him, which meant there was definitely something dangerous about it, Bernard thought inwardly, besides the fact he was on an unknown planet, his vampire instinct screaming at him was the more reason he should always be on guard, which means even if the demon beast wasn't a high tier demon beast, it didn't mean he shouldn't be cautious.
Nevertheless, something like the DracoLizard shouldn't be able to pose any challenge to him, since he had seen how Meow Meow Cat Strike had been able to injure the beast, meanwhile, the DracoLizard had just recovered and stopped belching out black flames at him, and began to charge at him once again, just like before it leapt into the air but only maintain its flight slightly above the ground, seeing how much Meow Meow Cat Strike was effective against it, Benard was itching to test out Blood Bending on the demon beast too.
As Bernard was about to cast Blood Judgement on the demon beast since it was quickly drawing close to him, for a moment Bernard had underestimated the instinct of the demon beast, although it didn't have high intelligence but its speed, responsiveness and instinct towards danger were incredible, as it got closer he could see the DracoLizard had opened its mouth and then the next moment a black fire shot at him, followed by a long trail of black flames behind it.
It had learned from the last time and knew although Bernard was tiny, the creature was definitely dangerous, it had felt earlier that the tiny creature in front of it was about to do something dangerous almost out of instinct it belch a fireball at him and flew back creating a distance to avoid anything that the tiny creature was up to when it was sure its attack had managed to stop that strange feeling its felt before.
Its eventually decided it was time to attack and dash forwards increasing both his speed and attack momentum, spreading its wings apart claws appeared from its two front limbs.
Bernard was about to use another Meow Meow Cat Strike, when he remember he brought the twin dagger with him and decided to test how powerful it was on the demon beast, the moment it got close enough, Bernard slash at the demon beast from two sides, managing to get the daggers stuck between the claws of the demon beast.
In doing this the demon beast realize the tiny creature had great strength since it had not been able to push it back when the dagger got stuck, and simply raise it other claw to attack, the moment it did, Bernard could hear a creaking noise.
[-1 Defense]
[Durability of beast weapon Twin Daggers has been reduced by 50%]
[Attack power has decreased 2(3]
'What the fuck?'When Bernard saw this he almost screamed out loud, he started putting more strength into the daggers to see if he could forcefully remove the dagger that were now between the claws of the demon beast, and at the same time he was afraid of breaking the daggers by mistake in the process of trying to take them away, and with the daggers stuck to the demon beast claws, using Meow Meow Cat Strike wasn't advisable due to how close he was to the demon beast and daggers, which meant he only had three options, Blood Bending, Fire Monkey and Turtle hardening left to use.
Since all that was left were these three, Bernard decided to test out the fire monkey and Turtle Hardening in reality for the first time, since there was no one around he didn't need to be careful or worried someone would spot him, what's more, there was also no cameras or anything that would give himself out, with this thought in mind Bernard began to activate the bloodlines one after the other.
The moment he did, he began to feel his body was starting to change and then he noticed his hands were beginning to change that that of a monkey and were now caught on fiery fire, while on his back a short monkey tail grew out, however that wasn't all because the moment his hands were caught on fire, his body gradually began to harden and shell looking like tattoos could be seen appearing all over his body, making him feel empowered and strong.
After he was done activating both bloodlines, all that was left to do was to fight, just like he did in the game using both bloodlines, while holding the daggers that were stuck to the demon beast, like a chain reaction Bernard lit both the daggers and the demon beast on fire, then started to shoot out fireballs at the demon beast, unceasingly, with each fireball shot at the demon beast, the particular spot the attack had hit would become scorch and the demon beast would howl loudly.
However, due to the fact both its and Bernard's strength were almost equal, the Dracolizard realize it couldn't throw him off, or fly since its wings and front limbs were one, and it also couldn't belch out a fireball at him because it was too dangerous and too close to its wings, all it could do was stand and snarl at Bernard continuously while taking a beating of its life.
