Chapter 18: Violence is the Best Medicine

Chapter 18

Violence is the Best Medicine

Siva, in between his hunts when he’s resting, looks up his notes and tries to decipher the code.

Ask the basic question…

“Damn old man. What basic question?! There are no such thing as the basic question! You fooling me?!”

And he threw a rock towards the dark side of the forest. Even though it was the middle of the day, light does not pass through the thick branches of the trees and so the ground below seemed as if it was night. The only light there was the very tiny openings and it gave the impression that it was the afternoon.

To where he threw the rock, a few C-rank monsters came. Five of them. And seeing them, Siva could only feel as much happy as when he knew he found his goal.

“Come on!”

As he taunted, the first monster lunged an attack.

It was a Heron.

It’s a monster with a skin made of solidified blood and this monster was actually those that belonged in the boundaries of C and B rank. Since it was a monster that lives by eating other monsters, its ability was inclined to like a T-Rex, alongside its appearance that looked like its smaller ten meters high version.

The attack was made up of a thrusting motion with a bite when they see you on their peripheral vision.

And so he dealt the attack just how he dealt any of the same monster tackles before.

A punch right through its attack.

He met the attack with an attack of his own. He did not jump aside as any beginner would commit when in a fight against them. These monsters actually use their weakness as their asset and it was an effective and very deadly asset.

Just when his fist was about to make contact to the monster’s skull, even though it was three times his size, the Air Shot activated along with an invisible anti-recoil field behind his elbow. The frame of the Cassius Clay reinforced itself, allowing shock to the user come as if punching a normal sandbag. Thus, a knuckle weapon is born. Based on the form of his attack, the anti-recoil field will also change. When his fist is in axing motion (Karate Chop —which in his current level is effective only on D-rank monsters), the anti-recoil field is on the hand that serves as the blade.

The laser sensor that detected it activated both skills and Siva’s attack deflected the monster’s attack. They both got rejected by each other’s power but it was Siva who was in a bind since the monster easily recovered its balance using its large hind legs.

What more, its four friends also joined the fray that made Siva jump back to retreat in a more distant place.

Damn it.

Surrounded, he could not hope that there is going to be help coming his way. All he could do now is to do what he’s been doing all these time. And with the wild fight thought running in his head, Siva clenched his fist and prepared to meet them.

He kicked the ground and dived with all his effort. A straight line of dust came to where he took a step and he did it again, but this time, in a zigzag, to avoid being bitten by the monster’s large mouth. This wasn’t effect of an ability or any physical or equipment upgrade, this is pure ability born from his years of fighting (and also escaping) gangs and school raids alone.

He dodged the first, then the second, and when the third came, instead of dodging, he clapped his hands and a new kind of attack using air bellowed from him.
