The Fat God System

Chapter 71: Hole

The giant squirrel shook its head as it got disoriented from colliding with the wall. It took a moment for it to recover, but once it did, it immediately glared at Hugh as if trying to blame him for the indecent.

Hugh knew that the squirrel was mad and was about to charge towards him. He had no way to protect himself against the creature's attacks because it was two ranks higher than him.

He was sure that even if he uses his armor to protect himself, he will sustain severe injuries if he were to take the squirrel's attack head-on.

The squirrel bent down on all fours and looked menacingly at Hugh. It was revving up its muscles to burst out speed towards Hugh.

Hugh walked in the middle of the room as he tried to prevent the squirrel from cornering him into a wall, or else the squirrel would crush him.

The squirrel took a deep breath and made a mad dash towards Hugh with the full intent of killing him. Hugh had to stand still and wait for the perfect opportunity to dodge out of the way, or else the squirrel would change its direction towards Hugh's dodge.

Hugh's heart rate was soaring through the skies as the giant three-meter squirrel was bulldozing towards him. He could feel the reverberations in the ground, and it did not do any good to his anxiety.

Hugh watched as the squirrel got close to him with only a few meters left. Hugh was counting down the seconds left until he had the golden opportunity to dodge.

The squirrel was no only four meters away from him, and he decided that it was the perfect time to dodge. He activated his armor on his leg and dived to the side, avoiding the squirrel's dash towards him.

Hugh rolled around in the ground as his dive proved to be too powerful. He rolled three times until his body plopped down on the floor, happy that he was able to survive the attack.

As the sense of relief was about to come over him, he felt the vibrations in the ground that made him anxious. He turned his head to the left and saw the squirrel running on all fours towards him.

Hugh looked at the wall and saw no indentation on it. He also did not hear a loud collision between the squirrel and the wall, which meant that the squirrel could stop itself before smacking itself on the wall.

It was able to stop itself and turn around towards Hugh and make another attack. Hugh immediately got up and prepared to dodge the squirrel's attack.

Then, Hugh noticed that his back was facing a wall. He had rolled far enough to now be in the corner of the room. He had a limited amount of space to dodge the squirrel, which is terrible.

He could not run towards the center of the room because he would be running towards the squirrel. The only choice was to run along the walls to try and dodge the squirrel.

Hugh gathered the strength in his legs and ran along the walls of the room. He looked back and saw that the squirrel changed its direction to match Hugh's body.

At this rate, he would have a collision course with the squirrel and die from the crushing force of its C-rank body. Then, Hugh saw the dent on the wall, which the squirrel collided with.

His instincts were telling him to run towards the dent, but if he continued down this path, the squirrel would catch up to him. Under these critical times, Hugh decided to trust his own gut and run towards the dent.

Hugh used his armor to power up his leg and boost his speed towards the dented wall. He was running to the best of his ability even though the squirrel was only two meters away from him.

The squirrel's gigantic shadow cast upon his face, telling him that the squirrel was about to hit him. As a last resort, Hugh dived along the dent on the wall and turned his body towards the squirrel.

Hugh raised his left arm and used it to guard his body against the squirrel's attack. The squirrel continued its mad dash towards Hugh even though it would hit the wall; its only focus was to deal the most damage to Hugh.

The squirrel's head hit Hugh's guarding arm and blew it away. Hugh could feel the crushing force of the squirrel even though he was wearing his armor.

He had never felt this kind of damage using his armor. He would always only feel a little prick, but never an aching pain.

*crack*

He heard a slight crack in the bones of his guarding hand. It was broken under the squirrel's attack, and his whole body was flung outwards.

*BOOM*

After hitting Hugh's hand, the squirrel could not stop itself on time to dodge away from the wall. This was the consequence of tunnel vision on Hugh.

The squirrel's head hit the already dented wall and destroyed it even further. The collision sent shockwaves throughout the room, and dust was displaced everywhere.

The wood on the wall was destroyed in some parts, leaving a tiny hole.

Hugh held his arm in pain. It was broken, and he could not move it anymore, or else the pain would be magnified. He looked towards the squirrel and tried to separate himself from it.

As he looked at the squirrel, which shook its head from the collision, he saw something that took his attention. There was a small bright spot on the floor of the room.

It looked to be sunlight, but how could sunlight get inside the tree?

Hugh followed the ray of light to its source and saw a tiny bright hole in the wall where the squirrel collided with. The collision destroyed that part of the wall and seemed to have broken a hole to the outside.

Hugh could see the bright blue sky from the outside, and he smiled. He had figured out a way to defeat the squirrel. He immediately came up with a plan and readied himself to act upon it.

The squirrel shook its head and tried to recover from the headache it was feeling. As the pain left its body, the squirrel looked towards Hugh and saw him cradling his arm.

The squirrel recognized Hugh to be injured, making its attack successful. It wanted to kill Hugh in one attack, but it seemed that Hugh was more resilient than he appeared.

Hugh ran towards the center of the room as the squirrel was about to regain its footing. Hugh did not stop as he continued to run towards the pile of rocks in the squirrel's den.

Hugh picked a rock at random and grasped it in his hands. Then, he turned around and faced the squirrel with a smile.

The squirrel saw Hugh near its pile of rocks. It looked at Hugh's hand grasping a rock, then locked eyes with Hugh. It saw the condescending smile on Hugh and watched as Hugh opened his mouth and put the rock in it.

There was silence in the room until the sounds of munching broke the tension in the room. Hugh dared to eat the rock in front of the squirrel, disrespecting it in its den.

The squirrel's fur raised on ends, and its tail raised in the air. Its anger could not be expressed, and all it wanted to do now was kill Hugh at all costs.

Hugh grabbed more and more rocks and stored them in his pockets. He munched on some of the rocks hoping that it would finish his daily missions, but he could not eat a new type of rock.

As Hugh was munching on the rocks, he again felt the reverberations in the ground. He turned around to look at the squirrel that was had its tail upright and running towards him.

Hugh activated his armor on his leg and ran around the walls of the room. He ate the rocks and fueled his armor to be used for more than three seconds.

With his speed at maximum, Hugh reached the dented wall before the squirrel could get to him. Hugh did not stop as he activated his armor on his fist and punched through the hole on the wall.
