The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 42: Dungeon Raid [8]



****

[Use blood manipulation on yourself..] She voiced out in her head, her tone a little unsure.

Amon's eyes widened.

He had thought about this way before in the starting but had dismissed it because he knew his control over the element wasn't enough.

Afterward, he had never considered it. Until now.....

Blood manipulation on himself.

By doing it, he could accelerate his blood flow, making his movements and reflexes fast while also triggering the release of adrenalin into his blood flow.

The strength and durability of his body would also increase by a significant amount.

This was exactly what he needed at the moment.

It would make him on par or maybe even above the mantis in terms of speed and reflexes, making him able to beat it again.

But there was a problem.

Using blood manipulation on himself was an extremely risky move.

Increased blood flow would put immense stress on his veins.

And if he lost control over his manipulation of blood for even a second, his veins would burst under the pressure, making him undoubtedly die.

He had to manipulate the flow to an accurate range of speed, which wasn't an easy task while constantly battling the beast.

Any faster and the pressure would increase the limit he could handle.

He sighed deeply.

It seemed to be the only way right now by which he could win this fight.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, bracing himself for a new fight. 'Alright, let's do this...'

[Don't worry, you just focus on the fight. Leave your body to me.] She tried to reassure him.

Not thinking anything of it due to the heat of the moment, he gave a subtle nod and then started the process.

Manipulating the blood flow inside of him, he suddenly increased the blood regulation throughout his body.

He instantly felt the changes.

His eyesight sharpened and he felt strength and power coursing through his body vigorously, waiting to be unleashed.

Veins bulged on his whole body, an evident signal of the stress that was being put on them right now.

His eyes became bloodshot as the red thin blood vessels started expanding towards the iris.

The beast looked at Amon with a new expression, clearly feeling the changes in the presence he was exuding right now.

And right before its very eyes, he shot towards it at a speed that was a far cry from his previous self.

Raising its guard to the maximum, the mantis slashed its blades toward Amon, attempting to slice him midway.

However, it felt its blades collide with nothing but thin air and when it looked, he wasn't there anymore.

Suddenly, it felt a crashing blow to the back of its head, knocking its head and body forward. Ignoring the pain, the beast took a complete turn back, finding Amon in mid-air with his leg coated in blood.

Roaring in rage, it launched its pincers and blades toward its prey.

To its dismay, they were stopped midway as numerous thick strings launched out of Amon's hand that coiled around them, halting them in their place.

The beast screamed in anger once more and shook its body, attempting to break the strings off.

But suddenly, the strings that were connected from Amon to its body started to crackle with lightning.

In the next moment, its body was jolted with immense pain as electricity traveled through its whole body.

However, Amon wasn't unharmed as well.

The sudden manipulation of electricity from his palms messed up his blood flow for a second, making it exceed what his body could handle.

Two bulging veins burst apart, and blood splattered in the air.

Intense pain shot through his body but he held it in by biting on his tongue and gritting his teeth.

He could not mess up right now otherwise his other veins would burst as well. Unfortunately, the strings had lost their form cause of the sudden loss of concentration.

Recovering from the jolt, the beast launched its blades at Amon again.

Having no time to make strings again, the latter quickly used his skill and his eyes glowed

purple.

'[Eye of the Void]'

The beast's blade halted at the last second and its body was rooted at its spot.

He landed on the ground and in tandem, the skill deactivated, making the blade pass by

harmlessly.

He was low on mana now.

With each passing second, his mana kept decreasing at a fast speed because of his continuous

blood manipulation.

He had to end this all in one final move.

Amon bent himself to an angle, ready to make his final rush, with his feet rooted into the

ground.

From what he had deduced, he knew that the backside of the mantis' head was its weak spot.

It was also softer and much easier to hit than its other body parts.

One or two hits at the same spot would definitely end the beast once and for all.

A mana core appeared in his hand from his inventory.

The beast glared at Amon in fuming rage.

It knew that it was close to dying from all the pain that he had caused it.

And so the beast also bent its body, ready to make a final rush at him and tear him to pieces with its blades.

In the next moment, it shot from its place at full speed with Amon doing the same, the mana

core in his hand.

Just when both were meters away from each other, he raised the mana core and threw it with full force at the beast's head.

And then both of them were barely inches away from each other.

With its eyes locked on him, the beast ignored the core and with a slight tilt of its head, dodged the mana core and attacked Amon with its blade.

The blade neared his right bloodshot eye, just a centimeter away from piercing it and his

brain.

But at that moment, Amon suddenly vanished from his spot, making the blade go past

harmlessly.

And appeared in mid-air on top of the core, which had just traveled an inch past the mantis'

head.

Grabbing the core with his left hand, he knocked back his bulging blood-coated arm and threw a fist with pull power at the back of the beast's head.

The first collided cleanly and a large cracking noise resounded in the air.

CRACK!

Black blood poured out from the back of the beast's head and it crashed down on the ground

but his fist had still not gone deep inside the head.

With a scream, he punched the back of the beast's head again and this time his fist went

deeper inside, but still not enough to kill the beast.

Pain shot up through his arm as his mana was almost seconds away from being emptied and the veins on his right arm burst open, blood splattering in the air.

Screaming intensely in pain, Amon bit on his tongue and gritted his teeth to hold on to his

consciousness.

The beast, with its last hope on its life, attacked at its back with its blades, attempting to kill

him finally.

With his right arm useless now, he used his last bits of mana and manipulated the blood that had burst from his veins into sharp strings.

With a final scream, he pushed those strings into the head of the beast with as much force as

he could muster.

The blades of the beast shot at him and there was nowhere else to move now as there wasn't any mana left for him to use a teleportation skill.

The strings dug deep into the head and the blades neared, just 3 seconds away from killing

him.

But, just as the blade pinched into his left arm, drawing in some blood, its movement died down, indicating that the boss was finally dead.

The strings had pierced its brain. And now he was finally out of mana.

Losing his lost hold of his consciousness, he drifted towards darkness.

But before his eyes shut finally, he saw a last system notification.

[Congratulations! The Boss has been defeated!]
