Chapter 26: Enraged beast
Chapter 26: Enraged beast
While the enemies were shocked, Terry took his time to aim at one giant that was sixty meters away. The creature raised its arms to block the attack, but the arrow flew in a straight line, piercing through the arm and hitting the eye. Another critical hit...
"If you aren't coming, I am fine with this as well," Terry said, making another arrow appear on his hands.
Several giants dashed at him as if they had understood his words. That didn't matter, though... Terry kept firing and firing, but they could and managed to approach him with those numbers. When the first enemy tried to kick him, Terry jumped to the side with all his might while aiming another arrow at the enemy's head. Before he could land, he killed two other giants.
While it wasn't on the same level as Melee weapons, Terry learned that his physical Strength was still boosted according to the weapon that he was holding. For melee weapons, for every five points in attack power, he obtained power that increased his physical fitness by one hundred percent. The same thing could be applied to his defense.
However, the rate was a lot lower for ranged weapons. It was three times weaker... still, he could do a lot, considering the high attack power of the bow.
"Doing those experiments over the week paid off," Terry thought while looking at the shocking monsters.
Terry kept attacking until the giants did something unexpected... they began to raise the bodies of their allies and use them as shields while they approached him. Now it was his time to be surprised...
In the end, Terry just got rid of that and then kept attacking like usual. His arrows couldn't pierce the bodies of the giants that easily, but he still aimed at their necks, and two hits had been enough to pierce through the necks of the corpses and then hit those behind them.
Their plan didn't work so well, so the giants changed their strategy again... they began to throw the corpses at Terry... he had a hard time dodging up to five bodies being thrown at him, but eventually, he ran out of charges and then equipped his hard gloves.

(Triple Attack: a quick sequence of punches that causes a devastating amount of damage. If the three hits land on the head of the target, it will be stunned for a second.

(Sonic Punch: A technique that grants the user the power to charge at the enemy at super speeds and punch them, causing damage equal to two hundred percent of its attack power.

Terry ran toward the enemies, and once he got close enough, he used Sonic Punch on the first. He hit the target's left leg, and then the bone broke completely, making the lower part of the leg bent to a weird position. The beast grunted in pain while it was falling, but Terry ignored it when a massive leg approached him.
Instead of running away, Terry just lowered his posture and then hit the enemy's leg with a right straight. Both of them trembled a little... It was a bit too soon for Terry to overpower such creatures with a single punch, but at least his punch broke the bones that he hit. The reason for that was the fact that he hit a small area... his attack power was more concentrated.
Three other giants approached and swung down their fists to smash Terry at the same time, but he jumped to the side and dodged them. In the next moment, a dust curtain emerged from the ground, and then the sound of something cracking echoed around... soon after, one of the Giants fell on the ground with his forehead cracked and purple. When the other two tried to move away, Terry used Sonic Punch in one of them and then smashed its face.
That battle looked like it would take a while, but after five minutes, the hard gloves reached level twenty, and they couldn't level up further. However... They obtained an interesting effect.
(Final Effect: Power Boost.
Power Boost: temporarily increases your attack power by two points after defeating an enemy without suffering damage.)
Terry smiled... that will be useful. He got even more mindful of the enemies' attacks and focused on dodging. When one enemy showed an opening, he attacked them with Sonic Punch or Triple Attack. It didn't take long for Terry to obtain the strength to repel their attacks with his fists alone and even without skills...
Thanks to that, after ten minutes, almost all of the enemies had been defeated. Only the red giant was still alive. However, the creature was a bit bigger than the previous one... around two meters.
"What the heck..." Terry thought. "The more they see their allies dying, the stronger they get?"
Terry wondered if that was the trait of their tribe or if only those who had that trait could become the boss of their camps. It was a powerful trait and quite broken, so it made sense. It also made sense that they could only appear after a while.
The creature charged at him like a mad bull, but Terry already knew what it could do and had considered how much stronger it was compared to the previous red giant. So, he dodged the first attack quite easily after jumping...
After the monster hit nothing, it slowed down and turned around. Only to see Terry approaching and then suddenly punching the creature's face with Sonic Punch, followed by Triple Attack. The monster's face was thrown from one side to the other until the stun effect ended, and Terry jumped backward.
Although most of the face of the creature was red, there was a blue wound getting bigger there as well. The throbbing pain enraged the beast...
