Chapter 38: Fighting a D-Rank!!
Normally a G-rank awakened fighting against a D-rank monster is akin to suicide. Not even an average E-rank awakened would dare to face a D-rank monster alone. In the face of such a dangerous enemy, even survival is a difficult option.
But Luis, who should be focused on surviving for 5 minutes to pass the test, had different thoughts. He wanted to defeat the monster in front of him, moreover within the time constraint.
It was a lunatic thought, to be honest. As a G-rank, defeating a D-rank monster is usually impossible. Unless you have some special means.
'I think I can do it.' Luis thought inwardly as a confident smile appeared on his handsome face. He didn't seem like he was facing an enemy way above his level, but more like everything was in his calculation.
It was the effect of Mental Fortitude. With his knowledge of the game and the fighting pattern of the Giant Skeleton plus his strength, he had enough confidence in defeating it.
The Giant Skeleton didn't waste any more time opening his big mouth and screamed at the top of his ribs. Sending shockwaves.
Luis kept his foothold stable and didn't lose his focus.
Lumine and Alicia looked at him worriedly. But didn't dare disturb him in case he lose his focus and get hurt.
"Aunty, will Luis be alright?" Alicia asked worriedly.
"As long as he doesn't lose focus and keep maintaining distance, surviving for 5 minutes shouldn't be a problem for him." Lumine said with a grim expression.
Only if Lumine knew that Luis had no such thoughts. He didn't want to just survive; he wanted to crush that monster.
The monster swung his big skeletal fist at Luis. If such an attack hits him, Luis won't be in any condition to fight or, in the worse case, may even die.
But Luis, with his Mental Fortitude was extremely calm. He analyzed the attack, and with a slight roll to the left, easily dodge the punch.
*Crash*
The punch heavily crashed into the arena and made a small crater.
"Damn, that's some insane power." Luis couldn't help but curse.
In the game, it didn't feel like much, but in reality; it scared him shitless. 'Fortunately, with my skill and talent, I didn't lose my nerves.'
The Giant skeleton had a simple attack pattern. Direct punches and kicks and hammering the ground with both skeletal hands, creating a mini earthquake.
Luis started preparing his Thunder Javelin spell, but the amount of mana used was far more than before. For the first attack, he was preparing a spell with 50% of his mana input.
While preparing that, he kept dodging the barrage of punches and kicks launched by the Giant Skeleton.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Bang*
*Bang*
'Just a little more.' Luis thought as he felt the spell was almost ready.
It seemed the Giant Skeleton also noticed something wrong, which made him stop. He raised both his giant hands high in the air, which made Luis certain that the special attack was coming.
'It's here.' Luis' eyes became sharp.
As soon as both giant skeleton hands were about to hammer the ground, sending shockwaves, creating a mini earthquake. Luis immediately used his spell.
"Spatial Jump."
And vanished instantly.
The ground where he stood cracked open, and the rubble shot out, with enough power to crush him.
Before the Giant could notice that his attack was dodged. Luis appeared at the top of his skull with a Thunder Javelin in his hands.
*Zzzt*
The spell made at the 50% cost of his mana was something way beyond his level.
Luis launched it in such proximity that the monster had no way of defending itself.
As the Javelin hit the skull. The monster fell to his knees, and then his skeletal giant body crashed into the ground.
"Spatial Jump."
Luis immediately made some distance while chugging down high-grade mana potions.
He immediately prepared another spell with 70% mana input. This time, he didn't have to dodge attacks while preparing the spell, so it didn't take long.
By the time the monster stood up. Luis already closed the distance with Spatial Jump and send another shot of Thunder Javelin to the monster's skull face.
*Boom*
The Giant fell on his coccyx and roared.
*GRAAWOOO*
'I can't waste any time, nor can I give any chance for it to attack.'
Now the battle was in Luis' hands, as long as he didn't give the monster any more chances. He can keep attacking before the timer ends.
Luis chugged down another high-grade mana potion as he saw a giant skeletal hand slamming at him. Without any panic, he prepared the spell with 60% input this time.
When the giant metacarpal bones (hand) were about to crush him. Luis used spatial jump and vanished.
*Boom*
The skeletal hands crashed and only the dust rose and the rubble got crushed.
Luis was now standing on the ribs of the Giant Skeleton who was lying on the ground.
The monster made a move and jumped up. Luis lost his footing, but the spell was ready. In mid-air, he launched another Thunder Javelin, which hit squarely at the frontal area of the skull and directly made a hole.
"Spatial Jump."
Luis appeared on the ground and saw the monster stagger and fell on his knees.
'Just only more attack may be enough.' Luis thought, looking at the giant's condition.
'I hope I make it in time.' Luis knew the five minutes were about to end. So he didn't waste any time and took out two bottles of High-grade Mana potions and chugged them down.
While doing that, he prepared another attack but with 90% mana input. As he only had one opportunity to attack. He wanted to increase the output damage.
As the mana input was more, the spell took some time to prepare and the Giant Skeleton also felt the threat.
This time, he made a special move and condensed all the ghost energy inside his ribs to launch a powerful attack.
Luis felt something was amiss. 'This spell wasn't in-game. Is this the difference in reality?'
