Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 433 Might Of The Mysterious Guy

The battle continued fiercely. The monsters are not stopping or showing any signs of calming down. They continue to charge towards us, ready to kill us if they even managed to grab a hold of any of us. Currently, the second one is currently trying to recover from the counterattack that Lina made, causing it to slam into the walls. As for the first lizard monster, it is still sliding while its mouth is open, trying to swallow anything on its path.

As for me? I am currently being dragged by the first lizard monster by attaching myself using the hook and chain to the back of the monster's scales. It is already aware that I am on its back but since it has limited movement while it was sliding, it didn't react yet. And I took that time to stabilize my footing from its back. It's not easy as it is slippery and the scales are not that easy to stand on without holding on to something.

Because the Versatile Weapon is currently stuck on the lizard monster's body, I decided to use the Pain Delivery to inflict something to force the monster to react to something. I put the muzzle to the hard shell and pull the trigger. Compared to most shots I did use the Pain Delivery, the impact is much harder this time and I can feel that the bullet is not strong enough to penetrate further. If one bullet is not enough, then one more bullet should do the trick.

BANG!

ROAR!

The moment the second bullet hit, the lizard monster started to roar and started scratching the floor in pain. It looks like I just did a critical hit on the guy despite the hard shell it has to protect itself from attacks. Due to it scratching the whole floor just to stop, the ice road is scraped from its claws, creating an uneven floor. Thought that was not enough as the monster started to wriggle hard from the pain. One more thing I noticed though is that this monster is missing an HP bar. Is it because it is a monster from the portal which is why it is lacking that bar?

In any case, it stopped moving and I can finally stand properly on its back without getting thrown off from the movement of this f*cker. I turned to look at Lina and the mysterious guy and they are currently dealing with the second lizard monster. Thanks to their help, I can solo the monster alone without the interruption of the second monster. I know I shouldn't expect the mysterious guy to help but he is indeed fighting together with Lina.

Now that I have already my own position at the monster's back, I changed the form of the Versatile Weapon. That's when the monster decided to do a flip and without the Hook and Chain to support me from its back, I fell and the monster didn't take a second chance to use its back to crush me down.

"You are a clever one eh? But it doesn't matter!"

I changed the form of the Versatile Weapon into a cannon and fired it on the floor before I fall to the ground, allowing me to immediately escape from being crushed to death by its back. Then, in my escape, I aimed my palm at the monster while it is still on its back and activated a skill.

"Die! [Icicle Rain]!"

Ice started to form above the belly of the monster and it didn't take too long before it started to fall down in rapid succession to the lizard monster's belly. Its back might be hard from the scales but they are not dragons that could be fully armored to the teeth by its scales, this is just a big lizard monster that is close to a dragon but far from the actual dragon. Its belly is not just one of the parts of its body that are protected by scales.

STAB STAB STAB STAB!

The lizard roared in pain but I can tell it didn't even pierce quite deep and it is not even that lethal.

"F*ck, I underestimated how tough its skin. This f*cker needs more firepower just to be killed."

"You called?"

I was startled when the mysterious guy popped up again and like always, he is grinning like an idiot. Then I also saw Lina who seems to be in a daze. It was the first time I have seen her daze like this since even in the past timeline, she didn't even do this kind of expression at all. And while looking at her, I just noticed what happened to the second lizard monster.

It's no longer alive but it isn't how I thought it would be killed. The monster's body is sliced to pieces. Literal pieces as you can assemble its body back if you like due to how all of its pieces of flesh were shaped perfectly in squares except for its edges. And I am sure that Lina is not capable of that even if she unleashed her full power. Maybe if she crushed the monster to a mush, maybe I can still believe it but seeing it cut into cubes is just surreal even for me.

In short, it's killed in an overkill way. But how did he do it? He didn't use a sword since he is not holding one and no blades are currently in his possession. I even doubt Lina had some weapons that are swords that can cause damage like that.

"Mind if I take this guy?" the mysterious grinned and his eyes lit up while looking at the wriggling monster.

I didn't even get to answer as the mysterious guy just rush towards the monster and leaped forward before I can even say any response to his question. He grab one of the icicles from its belly and just stab it back into the wound he pulled the icicle shard and bury it in a much deeper hole than before. And even before the icicle can even dig deep, the mysterious guy just gives it a big punch and the icicle pierced through the lizard's body that I can feel the end of the icicle hit the ground.

The lizard didn't like it and was about to whip the mysterious guy off of its body by whipping its tail. However, the guy just grinned and happily welcomed the incoming tail.

"Thanks for bringing me your thick tail! Now let me use it for a bit alright?"

And as he said that, he gripped the tail so hard that blood came out the moment he squeeze through it like his hands got a very sharp claw that buried deep into its skin. And did I mention that the tail of the lizard is fully scaled just like its back? The scales didn't do jack sh*t about his grip and it was cracked to pieces.

"ORYAAAAAAH!"

He swings the lizard and Lina and I have to move away to not get caught by him swinging the lizard from side to side of the walls.

BANG! BANG!

ROAAAAAAARR!

The monster is desperately trying to get away as quickly as possible but the mysterious guy just gripped the tail a lot firmer than the grip he just did in the beginning.

"Where do you think you are going huh? We are not done yet, come back here and let's have some fun!"

ROAAAARR!

If the monster can speak, I can immediately tell that it will try to plead for its freedom. But the mysterious guy just didn't give a crap about the ramblings of the monster. While holding the monster with its tail, the mysterious guy kicked the monster, forcing it to expose its belly again. The Icicle Shards already melted. They don't last that long but it was long enough for the mysterious guy to use them to torture the lizard monster easily.

The mysterious guy decided to use his weapon. I thought he would bash the poor monster using it but he didn't do that. Instead, he inserted the weapon into the big hole created from being pierced by the Icicle Shard that increased its damage when it was used as an improvised weapon by this guy.

The monster didn't like it as it should have been stirring at its guts already when he inserted the weapon. And what happened is not what I expected. At first, I thought he will just use the weapon to widen the big wound of the monster using it but it's not the case as he just lift up the whole monster's body with his bare hands while using the wooden club as a handle to the pierced monster.

And without even thinking twice, he started to bash through the walls using the monster like he was just wielding a sledgehammer but using the lizard as the sledgehammer's head. It was just too bloody and if I go into detail, it is already too gruesome so we will just keep it to ourselves what happened. One thing that is just too ridiculous even for me is that the monster has been turned to mush without anything left behind except the scattered flesh after the lizard died from the attack of the group.

He then looked at us and gives out a thumbs up.

"How was my work? Is it a satisfactory experience?"
