08 - Water!

Sadly none of it will matter if I can't survive.

But still, it was all thanks to it that I could deal with my current situation. At the start I could barely bear the pain but now it was manageable and it didn't bother me as much.

You can clearly tell that I have been doing quite a lot of dodging during this fight but sadly there wasn't much I could do otherwise and I am grateful I unlocked this skill when I did, it saved me again and again.

*ROAAAAAAR*

The bear roared at me in clear frustration as I again dodged one of its attacks, and to be honest I couldn't blame him. I would be just as angry if I spent so much effort hunting my prey with no results, but I wasn't going to give him what he wanted.

Looking through my states I couldn't help but feel a hint of happiness and frustration as I continued to dodge the bear attacks as it roared at me.

Happiness because I was getting stronger at an unbelievable rate, way faster than any training I might have done.

And frustrated because it was still not enough, as according to the system I wasn't even at the level of an elite in the avatar world and the one power I put my hopes on to escape this situation stopped leveling up at one point.

[Water bending (Active) - Level 9: Exp 99.99%]

I had put all of my hopes on water bending breaking to level 10 and giving me a new ability that will help me in my current situation, but it seemed I wasn't that lucky after all. So much for 10 points in luck.

It was really, really, really frustrated, never had a prey given it so much trouble. And worst of all it couldn't do anything about it, it could only voice out its frustrations with a roar.

No matter what it did or what it tried the human seemed to be able to survive it. And worst of all it seemed to be getting stronger, faster and more adaptable. It seemed to be learning in battle!.

It was even stronger than when they first started their fight and that terrified it. Even with its limited intelligence it knew that it was something unnatural, something that shouldn't happen.

As for himself, It wasn't unscratched either, although it was in a better situation then the human, it was breathing heavily with water vapor almost covering him due to its big lungs, his nose was bent in a strange way from all the hard snowballs ramming into it constantly, it was obviously broken, Blood was coming out of his mouth and, and his teeth were crooked.
