Chapter 34: Turning the situation around!
Chapter 34: Turning the situation around!
Why is this thing that almost hit me, leaving a trail of blood behind it? In the short moment that it evened out with my line of sight, I thought I was looking at a shark's fin! Bigger than me by at least a half, I couldn't even begin to imagine how insanely big this predator would have to be to have a fin that large!
Because of its weight, this object kept accelerating and disappeared from my view in less than a second. What was left though, was a trail of blood with the same allure as those big droplets that I encountered earlier!
With just a single look upwards, I managed to confirm two things.
Despite how slow this damn penguin was in my eyes, he was steadily closing the distance between us. Considering how long did it take him to overcome half of the initial gap separating us, I would have to start working my sword hard to not let him swallow me whole!
The same look also allowed me to confirm, that this godforgoten monster was missing a tip of its flipper! With even more blood soaking from its wound than from the part that I apparently managed to cut, this sight tempted me for a moment to aim for this stream of rich energy!
Thankfully, the time that it took me to grab the sword and absorb all the blood that I could find resulted in the ground being far to close for me to involve myself in such shenanigans! In fact, it was a lot closer than I would want it to be! If I don't do something soon, I might very well crash to my death!
Can you imagine such a scenario? Being reincarnated into a damn cultivation world, appearing to be insanely strong to the common cultivators despite lacking any sort of innate talent, facing off successfully against a giant monster that entire sect wouldn't be able to take down only to die from a fall?! A fall is a result of my own damn jump?! No! It cannot end like that!
Even if I say that there is literally nothing I can do. Except for pumping all those magically attained points into resistance!
BONGER! Smash all my attribute points into my resistance stat!
"Blop!"
"Action cannot be authorised."
"Host action would result in too great of unbalance of energy in the host's body, resulting in possible internal collapse"
"Pushing the resistance stat to the safe maximum"
"Resistance increased by 117"
"Attained title - tank!"
Whoa! Not only I get to learn that there are actually limits to pushing one stat, I even got a title in bonus! Since there is nothing I can do to prevent the fall, I quickly check the additional gift I received by investing the highest amount of points in a single go in my whole life!
Check the "tank" title!"
"Blop!"
"Due to focusing solely on the path of defending oneself, the will of the world bless the host with an additional intuition allowing him to mitigate 10% of any kind of damage!"
WHAT?
The will of the world? Mitigating PERCENTAGE amount of damage? Isn't this coming too close to a boundary of gaming? Am I actually taking part in some kind of government experiment where I test full immersion playing?
Hello! Can someone hear me!? LET ME OUT!
CRASH!
My fall had to end at some point. Just a moment before meeting with the embrace of the ground, I close my eyes. No matter how strong this system can make me, the fear of death is innate to every living being. But why I don't feel any real pain?
Opening my eyes with suspicion, I turn my head to the side only to see a delicate movement of the grass blades. As if the deadly fight that I took to the skies didn't bother the nature at all, those damn weeds keep living their slow-paced lives of absorbing the solar energy and releasing the oxygen into the atmosphere. How envious!
Before I can get into the mood of chilling out, a light gets blocked by the massive body of a penguin descending right onto my location! Instantly propping myself upwards, I judge my chances to run away.
There is no way. Just by simply falling flat on the entire area, this monster can block every single escape route that I could take. Maybe if not for its massive body, I could have some chances but let's be real! How the hell I'm supposed to fight against such an overwhelmingly big monster!?
Just then, I suddenly remember a line from one of the cartoons I loved back in my childhood years on earth.
It's not about the size. Enlarging your sphere of influence only spreads your power to a greater surface, making it a lot easier to overcome it!
That's it!
Even my biology lessons prove it! The bigger the body, the greater part of the energy needs to be used to support it!
Well, with no way to escape, I can only fight my way out of this quagmire! Wait, if the blood of this monster allowed me to get so many points, this might offer me a way to stand my ground!
Bonger! Fifty points in agility and the rest in strength!
"Blop!"
"Agility stat raised by 50"
"Blop!"
"Strenght stat raised by 106"
Great!
My only regret right now is that I don't have any sort of perception stat. With it, I should be able to notice this monster weak points. I guess you can't have everything you want!
After calculating the direction for a slightest of moments, I dash in where I believe the tip of this penguin fin fallen down. I really want to see what face will it make when I will kill it with its own power!
