Chapter 39: Solution!
Chapter 39: Solution!
With the joyous feeling of my body being revitalised, I see my attribute points increasing in my status window once again!
Compared to the blood from the tip of the fin that I snatched before or the droplets that hit me after flying through the air for a fair bit of time, freshly extracted blood has even better effects!
While it was only a small cut that was already healed up, I can see an astonishing number of 132 points in the corner of my eye! With this, I can max out my charisma and start working on the remaining two stats!
Bonger! You know what to do!
"Blop!"
"System requires direct messages to function properly"
"-.-"
Eh Obviously, it couldn't be as easy as I thought!
Dear system, would you be so kind as to improve my charisma stat to the maximum and dump the rest of my free points in the constitution?
"Blop!"
"Charisma reaches 200!"
"Blop!"
"Host acquires "Popular" title"
"Blop!"
"Constitution reaches 117!"
As soon as I saw the notifications flashing in front of my eyes, I felt like my body suddenly got a lot sturdier. Out of nowhere, I could sense the bulging muscles under my clothes, like if my body developed an additional layer to itself to protect me from harm!
With a quick look at the status window, I confirmed another thing. My HP points reached astonishing 5279 points at maximum, with the current amount sitting firmly at five thousand, one hundred and thirteen. Apparently, either my crash due to the shockwave or some of the other adventures from before dried about one hundred fifty health points from my status.
If I lost such a meagre amount of HP to this point, with the sudden rise of my health, I don't need to be bothered by this penguin anymore! To hell with being cautious! If I can sacrifice even an entire thousand of health for the sake of obtaining a hundred attribute points, it will be well worth!
Turning my sight back from my body to the penguin in front of me, I could see it's bloody-red glare directed at me. Probably somehow realising my intentions in this fight, it became furious!
SCREECH!
With a penguin scream of unbelievable intensity, I felt like my eardrums would scatter in this very moment! I guess no matter how much stronger I got, my senses would follow suit. I really need to develop some kind of countermeasure capable of numbing them to prevent situations like this!
With its burning eyes, the penguin rushed at me with all its mass. Every time his leg, or rather bottom fin, meet with the ground, the entire area would shake! If it manages to stomp on me, even my improved health would be able to fail!
With a moment of focus, I accustomed my brain to ignore certain stimulants and rushed forward! While I might not be a match in terms of size, I felt like my strength could easily overwhelm it now! If I steadily get to drain more and more of its blood, maybe I will be able to break through my bottleneck!
Seeing the monstrum closing on me, I jump into a run as well. If I even stop for a second, this entire fight might be lost. I don't know if it has any other hidden aces in the sleeve - despite not possessing any kind of sleeve, but you get the meaning - so I don't want to put my plan in jeopardy by overanalyzing the situation! It worked so far and it even managed to enrage it, so everything should work well in the end!
CLASH!
This time, I wasn't able to run by its side! As if knowing that I will attempt to do it, the penguin had to closely observe my movements just before the impact and just threw itself to the side I tried to dodge!
Falling right into its trap, I instantly get stuck to its fluffy belly. No matter how dire my situation might be, there is no escaping this ultimate fluffiness! It's like you combined all the cats and dogs from the earth to create a pinnacle of comfortability just at the spot when I hit!
But it's not a damn time for that! If such a simple thing can distract me, I could as well just die right here and now!
Pulling out my sick mind out of this quagmire, I force my right hand to escape back, before slamming the tip of windslord right into this fluffy heaven!
Yes, this would be considered an ultimate heresy back on earth! Not only is this a rare species, not only is it cute, but even its fluffiness its way over the top! But in this life and death situation, I don't have any choice. Did I mention that as I plunged my blade into the insides of this monster, Its peck was already on the way to smash me?
As soon as my guard reaches the level of the skin, I pull back the sword and throw it back into my storage ring. There is no point keeping my hands busy knowing that as soon as its head will reach me, I will lose my ability to bank on this situation!
Without caring about the possible repercussions, just before the penguin peck reaches me, I slam my right fist right into the wound I just made and scream in my mind.
ABSORB!
