Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra

Chapter 53 53:Trapped In Unknown[5]

?

Greeted by the barrage of fireballs one after another, the creature took a step back and slammed his body with its hands trying to extinguish the fire.

Letting out a violent whizz sound, it danced around crazily, whipping the long tail behind it.

BAAM!

A loud sound jolted in the air.

Just when the cloud of flames dimmed down over his body, a piercing pain jolted in his brain, forcing his neck to bend backward.

The creature's body, after being struck by an unknown force in its head, stood motionless for a moment with an awkward posture as if its brain had gone blank.

HISSSSSS!

BANG!

The creature then stomped heavily and pulling itself back, bent its body forward letting out a threatening roar.

GULP!

Lucas swallowed his saliva, feeling the tension between the two rising to the peak. He thought this was enough to keep it down or at the very least, it would have slowed down the monster but contrary to his thought...

The fireball did not deal any significant damage except for leaving a few dark charred tattoo spots which were only on the surface that started to fade away as it dusted itself.

Still, it was acceptable as the fireball was a G-rank skill but…

As evidence to prove the thickening protecting scales, the bullet after being fired just stuck over the forehead. The bullet might not have penetrated even an inch, leaving just a small scratch on its forehead.

At least, the bullet was able to pierce through the epidermis in the case of a dire wolf but it was entirely useless in this case.

'Damn, if I knew this I would have stocked the sniper bullets.'

The sniper bullets had greater penetrating power being made out of G-ranked metal and the enhanced bullets were in the testing phase moreover, a flintlock pistol couldn't be able to handle those bullets.

Now, he had no option except to engage in a tug-war with it.

BANG!

Without wasting a moment, as soon as it got back on its feet, it shot forward.

The image of the creature disappeared and appeared right before Lucas.

Lucas, who was able to keep up with the faint flickers of the creature's motion, focused on the claws over its hands that aimed at him.

Just as Lucas took one step forward to close in.....

A long thick needle-like object appearing from the creature's back, passed through the side of the creature's neck, to shot at Lucas.

Swishhhh!

Taken by surprise, Lucas with an unstable stance flicked his sword as fast as possible.

CLANG!

Lucas's eyes opened wide and his face twisted with a frown. He succeeded in deviating the direction of the long-pointed end of the tail, but his arms became numb due to the force of impact.

Lucas jumped back quickly while blasting a fireball on the ground to warn the creature from approaching him.

"The sneak attack was so fast that for a moment I fell into a pinch to decide whether I should back away, activating flash steps or carry forward."

Lucas at that very moment, really understood the words spoken by Sir Harris.

Hesitation...a moment of hesitation gonna cost your life and to tackle a moment like this one needs experience, an ample amount of experience so that one body could react on its own in an instant.

Lucas's back was already drenched in sweat.

'No matter how bulky it is, this creature had a frightening speed. If I lose eyesight for a moment, it will chew me like those corpses."

Swishhhh!

'It's coming!'

Lucas did not even blink. and concentrate hard to the point, faint drops of tears leaked out from his eyes trying to lubricate his eyeball. Though faint, he could see the trajectory of the attack which was something he couldn't decipher before.

Lucas waited for the creature to approach him and as it tried to swallow him, Lucas after sidestepping, dodged the attack and at the same, he jumped on the creature from the back.

He wrapped his arms around the neck while using his legs to support himself by climbing over the back.

At first, he thought of wrapping his legs but he changed his mind as its tail was long and deadly and the creature could stab his back at any moment.

His legs slipped due to the creature's slimy back but Lucas did not care for it and raising his sword stabbed it.

CLANG!

A sound akin to striking the metal resounded as his sword dug inside through the scales at the back but the wound was not too deep.

Before Lucas could push his sword further, his back tingled and he heard a faint wheezing sound. Guessing the origins of the sound from before, Lucas kicked its back and shot to the side.

WHIPP!

The pointy tail struck its own back causing it to let out a groan.

Lucas rolled aside and picked up his sword preparing for the counterattack.

If possible, he did not want to touch such a disgusting creature alas.

By the time Lucas got up, the creature was already hurling its way toward it.

Lucas stood up wondering whether to strike or dodge the attack and at the last moment, he decided to dodge.

Lucas twisted the soles of his feet and was going to jump when the creature opened its mouth wide open.

Lucas raised his sword to block, in case it attacked with the tongue but this proved to be a fatal mistake.

HISSSSSSSSS!

Letting out a small whizzing sound, a sleek tongue shot out.

But instead of using the tongue as a weapon, a greenish liquid was sprayed from its tongue which took Lucas by surprise.

Lucas, in a moment of panic not knowing how to react, raised his arms and covered his face, and closed his eyes while stepping aside.

However….

The liquid was sprayed over a wider radius and since it was sprayed just a few inches away from Lucas, it was too hard for him to avoid.

He could not even activate flash steps in that short time.

As the liquid splashed over his body, it charred the clothes immediately and corroded his skin forming blisters all over the place the liquid fell.

His skin was charred and a fizzing sound of a chemical reaction occurred. His skin sank at certain points exposing a whitish bony layer where the layer of skin was thin.

Lucas, overwhelmed by the sudden influx of pain, screamed in pain…

"Ahhhhh!"

A few drops fell over his face and burnt his face, fortunately, he protected his eyes due to reacting as swiftly as possible. His presence of mind played a great part as he knew something coming out from creatures like this, were mostly poisonous or acidic.

He was lucky that the liquid sprayed by it only caused burns otherwise, he would have died if it carried poison.

"Ahhhhh!Damnnnn!"

Lucas groaned and stepped back while all kinds of messy thoughts swirled in his head as a prickling sensation overwhelmed him.

This made Lucas careless and closing his eyes gave the creature an edge.

Not wanting to let go of the opening, the snake creature thrashed its arm towards Lucas sending him flying.

SLAM!

BOOM!

Lucas's body slammed over the wall making him cough a few drops of blood. After slamming over the bricks of the wall, he fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes fluttered and his vision became fuzzy for a moment.

He felt a burning sensation in his gut making him cough violently.

Everything in Lucas's vision turned dark and fuzzy except for the green monster's head running towards him.

'End...No, this is not the end.'

'I can't give up.'

'I can't lose my consciousness.'

'Wake up.'

Lucas, in a moment of desperation, bites his tongue.

Lucas's fading consciousness jolted awake due to the sudden influx of pain.

[Flash steps]

The monster who was about to slash at Lucas suddenly saw Lucas's image flickering before him.

Swish!

Like a flash, his image disappeared and appeared right before it.

The monster had an agility stat of a peak 1-Star so Lucas's 2-Star early speed startled him and before it could react, Lucas stabbed his sword right through his chest using all his strength.

SCREECH!

Blood splattered in the air.

The sword dug down deep into the sternum breaking through the bones and making a crackling noise, dug deeper.

"Kyakkee Kkkk!"

The monster groaned in pain and blood dripped down from its lips.

It swung its claws and tail at him.

"Khummm!"

Seeing it trying to wriggle around him, Lucas lifted the monster's body over him with the sword and threw it away.

BAAAM!

The monster slammed against the pillar and then writhed on the ground emitting deep painful screeching noise. The claws scratched the ground leaving long gnarly claw marks.

It tried to hold the sword embedded deep inside his chest. As it applied strength to pull it out, just then it felt something cold touching the back of its head.

His heartbeat became erratic for an unknown reason. Turning his head around, its eyes shifted and a long hollow barrel appeared right before its eyes.

"You have a strong grit to survive, and so do I."

"You survived the experiment but can you survive this mf..."

Placing the end of the pistol right before its eyes, Lucas pulled the trigger.

BANG!
