Chapter 54 I Choose Vengeance
[Thank you WitchOfAgony for the Castle. Here are the two extra chapters.]
The moment the deer had disappeared the first time, I saw a strange flash of mana and light through my blood eyes skill. However, I didn't have much time to think about what was happening since only a second late,r I found myself growing closer to the ground and getting ever so closer to a faceplant.
However, the second time I had shot toward the deer, I saw the same flash of light, causing a smile to grow from the corner of my mouth and reach from ear to ear.
[Pinpoint]
Without hesitation, I used the pinpoint skill and immediately found where it was going to appear again.
While normally, the pinpoint skill would be used to find the weakness in your opponent, I had found a way to use it in this context, since technically the deer's landing spot was its weakness.
Within the instant where the light would flash and the deer would appear again, I had shut my eyes and shot to where it would appear once again before opening my eyes and extending my hand towards its throat.
Its eyes widened momentarily, making me believe that I had gotten it and was about to kill it. My dreams were, however, suddenly crushed after the look within its iris went from being one of shock, to one of acknowledgment.
'Crap.'
*Boom*
I felt a blunt yet extremely painful sensation spread out from my stomach and into my chest area while simultaneously, several cracks could be heard resonating out from my body.
Afterward, all that I could feel was the wind blowing against me as my body crashed, bounced, and smashed right through several trees and eventually catapulting me into the mud face first.
*Boom*
The large puddle of mud reaching almost 3 meters deep and 10 meters in diameter, immediately shot out and exploded, causing a wave of mud to go in each direction.
Out of it came my wounded body covered from head to toe in mud that was slowly falling off me. While at first, I might have seemed fine, standing tall with a straight back and looking at the deer with killing intent exuding out of my body, that visage was shattered when a knelt forward to puke out 3 mouthfuls of blood.
'Damnit...' I gritted my teeth through the pain and stood up. I knew that fighting this creature without the help of the snake would have been slightly stupid, but relying on the snake would have been detrimental in the long run.
What was I supposed to do in a year when the snake leaves me behind? Fall to my fears and regress to fighting things weaker than me, never growing in the process? No! I was still scared of death, something evident when looking at my shivering hand, but I was not willing to fall in front of something I had a chance of killing.
No longer was I going to submit to my fate. No longer would I kneel in front of the strong and only prey on the weak. With that mentality, I would never get my revenge on the elven people who destroyed my planet and killed my people.
My fists were now clenched as I knelt forward and shot toward the deer with all the power that I could muster within my legs. My eyes were flaring with rage. I was not as angry as I was when I had met the T-rex for the second time, but I was still feeling enough emotion to make the red energy leave my body in the form of killing intent.
I still didn't know how to manipulate my mana like the echidna that I had seen earlier, but I had learned what to do to a certain extent.
Controlling a minute part of the red energy that I had renamed the 'Blood energy', I pushed it into my arm and at that very moment felt like my muscles were about to explode.
Feeling the immense pain and energy radiating within my right arm, I cocked it back, ready to release it onto the deer at a second's notice.
The deer's eyes narrowed at me, following me with its piercing gaze and ready to attack whenever I got too close.
My figure blurred and appeared in front of the deer, yet not close enough that its horns would have blocked me from leaving from my right or left.
However, before I could take another step, I saw that the gems within the branch-like horns began to glow with the color of the respective gem.
The glow was bright and piercing, yet due to me having my blood eyes on, it did not affect me to the extent that it would have affected anyone else on my level.
Yet, when the dread fell onto my mind with the weight of a mountain. Every cell in my body told me to run away and hide as far away as possible from the attack that was about to form, yet I kept moving forward to execute the plan I created in that split second.
It was not that I didn't trust the dread to tell me when I was in danger, I was trusting it with my life right now.
After having entered the area where I could not directly move right or left, I closed my eyes and perked up my senses. Everything from the wind that was moving along my skin to the mana around me or even the sound of the wooshing winds. I used every sense I had and added my dread to it before I finally felt something.
'I will never die to the likes of you.' My eyes opened wide, this time seeing the face of the elf that had killed my parents instead of the head of a deer.
In a split second, my entire body lay on the ground and slid under the deer who by now had shot a huge white beam of light with so much power that it incinerated almost everything in front of it.
Even though I had dodged the radius of the attack at the last second, I could still feel the scorching heat hit my skin and make me grimace in pain, but that was the least of my worries.
Twisting on the floor as I slid below the deer, I now found myself facing it while completely ignoring the pain that was radiating from my face as well as the blood that trickled down my forehead and into my head.
Standing up at the last second, I pivoted and twirled off my right foot before directing the power of my fist to the side of the deer who hadn't even realized what had happened in the split second where he had let out his attack.
*Swoosh*
"I'll kill all of you." I muttered breathlessly as my fist got closer to its target.
"I'll avange my family." Another blast of blood energy left my body, this time covering my arm like an ethereal gauntlet before it-
*BOOM*
*CRASH*
The deer's body went flying and crashed into several trees, destroying them in the process and leaving a path of destruction in its wake.
