Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 58: 58: Anatomy

Just like that, the plan has been finalized. Caleb would be the one to start the attack to make use of the element of surprise to its fullest.

He was on top of a sand hill just twelve or so meters away from the abomination. Thinking of this, Caleb studied the Apokalip not far from the distance.

It currently has its head inside the mouth of the wall. Thrashing around with its claws that caused damage to the ground and the wood of the well.

Just like what Andre said. The bastard was 10 meters in height, overshadowing anything he had seen before. It was the first time he saw such a fearsome monster. It was more humanoid than anything due to its body structure.

It has big red four arms with black claws as big as an adult human. It was terrifying as it was. Not only that, its black fur reflects a black sheen, with each ending with a pointy, sharp edge. Caleb couldn't see its face due to the angle, but it didn't prevent him from imagining its hideosity because of its curly baboon hair.

'What a disgusting freak of nature.'

"How is it, Johan? Are you confident that you could hit it at such a distance?" Andre asked with hesitation.

Andre was already back at his feet after the discussion had ended and his mood gradually returned to normal. Fushigiro instructed Luna and Andre to stay away from the battlefield.

A shit-eating grin split across Caleb's face.

"If I'm confident in anything. It's my throwing skills."

"If you say so..." Andre rolled his eyes and sat beside a square-shaped rock which has a lot of cracks on it. He looked at Caleb and warned. "Still, you have to be careful when fighting that monster. It had demolished the house in just two hits with its claws."

Luna, on the other hand, was just sitting quietly beside Caleb with a dazed expression. Traumatized by the events they witnessed from the house.

'It's time.' Caleb brought down the bag on his back and searched for the stones that he stored for some time. The plan was once he threw the stone and hit the Tier 9 Apokalip. He would have to run towards its location and join the fight with other members, since they were already there waiting for him to set the battle in motion. 'Bastard, let me give you a taste of what true pain is.'

As he thought of this, Caleb let fifty percent of his taboo energy flow through the stone. Just like that, the stone was enveloped with violet energy. Small fissures started to appear on it, as it received more and more energy.

Then Caleb squinted his eyes to focus his vision on the silhouette of the Apokalip that was bashing the ground around the well as if trying to destroy it. Then Caleb clenched the stone in his palm and gripped it tightly. The muscles on his forearms, biceps, shoulders, and back simultaneously contracted.

He instinctively took a step back to gather momentum and then threw the stone in the direction of the abomination with all the force that he accumulated!

WHOASHH!!

The stone flew like a cannonball in the Apokalip's direction. It wheezed past and blew the air around. It only took a few seconds before the stone arrived and hit its lower back.

BOOM!

'Take that damned abomination!'

He aimed at its lower back rather than its head since he couldn't see the head due to his angle. Hitting the lower back was actually lethal when hit with enough force.

Anatomically, the lower back, or lumbar region, consists of five large bones called lumbar vertebrae (L1 to L5). These bones support much of the body's weight and can be vulnerable to injury.

If the lower back experiences a severe injury where it gets crushed, it can be an extremely serious and potentially life-threatening situation. A crushed lower back typically involves significant trauma to the lumbar spine.

One of the most concerning consequences is damage to the spinal cord, which can result in paralysis or loss of sensation below the injury site. The extent of paralysis depends on the level and severity of the spinal cord damage.

The bones in the lower back (lumbar vertebrae) can fracture or shatter when crushed, leading to instability in the spine. These fractures can also damage nearby blood vessels and nerves.

Severe compression injuries can affect internal organs, such as the kidneys, liver, or intestines, which may lead to internal bleeding or damage.

How does he know these things? It was what his old man taught him. His father was a hitman and one of the things that he focused on was the subject of human anatomy as his first subject! One needs to know the intricacies of the body well enough to be a competent killer. To know various vital points not only outside but also inside the body.

Just like that, the Apokalip staggered. It roared wildly. Its lower back had a mild dent. Blood slowly gushes out from the wound. The intense pain prompted it to pull back its head out of the well.

When Caleb saw seven silhouettes appear in the vicinity of the abomination, he knew it was time. He looked at Luna and Andre and winked. "It's time for me to join the fight, guys. I'll be right back. And... Don't do anything stupid!"

Caleb knew that there was not enough time. He went away without looking back or waiting for Luna and Andre's reply.

"Be careful! Don't die on me!" Andre could only shout as he saw Caleb's gradually disappearing back.

Luna, on the other hand, looked in the direction where Caleb had left with misty eyes and muttered. "Please... Come back as soon as possible."

...

When Caleb reached the battlefield. The members of the hunting party were already engaging the Apokalip, who was madly swinging its black claws around. It has only been two minutes since the battle started, but each member has already varying injuries on their body.

Even with the damage Caleb's attack caused. It didn't manage to penetrate or injure the lower spine of the Abomination, evident by its unbridled violence and unhinged mobility. If even his most reliable attack can't penetrate its flesh... Would their blade fare better?

'Damn it!' Caleb gritted his teeth, raised his Odachi, and joined the formation carefully to not disrupt it.
