Asura no Oojo. Level 50

A boss monster. Naman oh. Akala ko maganda na ang araw ko. I just kicked a stone and then I came face to face with a monster whose level is way higher than me. Ini-examine ko ang kalaban na hindi pa umaalis sa kanyang inuupuang bato. Ang bato. Bato. Dius ko, pramis di na ko mang-aaway ng bato out of nothing.

Unti-unting tumayo ang Demon Lord. A 7-footer humanoid, wielding dual scimitars. And probably breathes fire. Sa pagkaka-alam ko ang mga boss ay nagdadrop ng mga rare items. Might as well as try to kill this guy. At sabi nga ni kuya ay masyado akong OP para sa isang beginner. Hehe.

I rushed the enemy while squaring my fist. Pero nag stop akong ng bigla-biglang hinampas nia ang spada niya right in front of me. Hayaii!! Mas mabilis pa kesa kay AU. He swung his other sword towards me and I jumped away. But his reflexes made his sword reach my arms. -430 HP.

Tumalon si Asura at he pointed his swords towards me. I dodged, making him stuck his swords to the ground. Pero binitawan nia ang mga spada nia and he squared his fist on my gut. Yes, this is an imaginary world, but it hurts. It hurts a lot. Yung life ko na kakaregen lang ay nabawasan na naman ng 600.

He attacked relentlessly. All I could do is parry his blows. At unti-unting nakakaltas ang buhay ko. I never regretted any decision. Until now. I should have escaped the dungeon before this monster went agro. Habang papalapit ng papalapit ang HP ko sa red zone, unti-unting nagba-blur ang vision ko....

Nasa kendo club ako. Humahangos, puno ng pasa sa katawan, habang pinagtatawanan ng mga kasama ng kalaban ko.

"Give up, hime. Wala kang laban sa isang expert." Sabi pa niyang nakangisi. "Give your honor up. Ikaw naman ang nagsabing hindi ka prinsesa diba? And someone who denies herself as a royalty need no honor to uphold. And besides, she's a stupid friend of yours. Walang future dahil laging nauuto."

"Furosai." I got up, knees wobbling.

"Huh? You're at a disadvantage, and you can still talk trash?"

"It is normal to say trash when you're talking to garbage, garbage." I replied.

"A-anung sabi mo?" he snapped. He kicked me in the head. The ringing in my ears is tedious, but I managed to grab his leg and pull him towards me. Bago pa siya nakahuma, sinalubong ko ang mukha nia with my elbow, flinging him back. I grabbed the opportunity and hit him in the neck. He went out cold.

"Beating someone up just because of some stupid reason is enough to call you garbage." I slowly walked towards the door as everyone parted to give me way. Huminto ako ng marating ko ang pintuan. "And no, I don't care about honor. But when you hurt a friend of mine, you'll be in a split-second of pain that you will remember for the rest of your life."

I snapped back to my current situation. 110 nalang HP ko. Judging at the damage reduced by parrying, meron pa kong nalalabing five seconds. I held out and ducked, kneed his chest, activated Boost, and used Barrage.

He retaliated for a second. The chance cannot be missed. With all my might, inubos ko ang EP ko sa isang boosted punch. Terror registered on the demon's face. And sino namang hindi? He's facing a furious fighter with all her strength riding on that one punch, the punch animating into an enormous rotating sword ready to stab its opponent.

Asura tried to block my punch with his scimitars. But to no avail, as my strike broke his weapons and went through his chest creating a gnawing hole in him. A critical semi-second ended the Demon King's life. He roared in protest of death, and, finally accepting his fate, dropped to the ground. He exploded into numerous pixels few seconds later.

"A split-second of pain, huh." Naalala ko si Rin.

Tiningnan ko HP ko. 14. The block penetration must have damaged me. It all turned out well, naisip ko as I bended my knees in exhaustion. I stayed like that for minutes as the auto-regen acted and returned both my HP and EP to full. When I got up, a notification popped up in my personal view.
