Chapter 33 Did You Have Your Fun?
As he looked at it, he found the only way was to punch it to widen the cracks.
Bam!
The vibration resonated to the floor, causing a few more cracks to appear.
[Health level dropped by 2 points]
He hissed to the pain, his knuckles began to bleed as splinters bored into his knuckle.
Bam!
[Health level dropped by 2 points]
Bam!
[Health level dropped by 2 points]
He needed to do this quickly, otherwise the creature would soon spit out the liquid. He looked up at the creature who had finished gathering the liquid in its mouth.
Bam!
[Health level dropped by 2 points]
Bam!
[Health level dropped by 2 points]
It was about to spit out the liquid at Nix. It started to move towards him, as it closed in on him, he saw a look of satisfaction in its eyes.
He tried to roll out of the way but the liquid landed on his left foot, eating it's way into his boots and sparsely onto the skin of his foot. He could feel it's effects, the burning sensation was spreading through his body.
He was glad it wasn't directly on his leg or else he would have no choice but to prepare for the worst.
The healing potion might be there, but how would he explain his miraculous healing, once they noticed this feat?
He quickly threw his hands up, punching once more on the floorboard, as he felt his feet go numb.
"You have nowhere to run now!" It's hoarse voice snickered.
Bam!
[Health level dropped by 2 points]
Taking a large broken piece of the floorboard, he turned around, aiming it at the creature's head.
The creature's eyes widened in surprise, it's slit yellow eyes were focused on Nix when the floorboard struck its face, causing a massive amount of green blood to splatter everywhere.
Rhhhieeek!!
Rhhhieeek!!
It held its face, screeching in untold pain and helplessness.
It could not see as it was blinded. Nix was satisfied. Pulling out the splinters from his knuckles, he had no reaction whatsoever, as he had grown numb to the pain.
Limping at his pace due to the pain still coursing through his left foot, he had nothing to be worried about as he watched it writhe in pain.
It swung it's claw wildly in all directions, to which Nix swiftly dodged, closing the distance between them, dealing a great blow to the creature's stomach. He could hear the creature gurgling as it tried to catch its breath.
[30 points gained]
He quickly grabbed the creature's throat, his fist squeezing the mail into the creature's body. He could feel the creature's green blood flowing down his fist, it was intoxicating.
The creature was now completely immobilized.
"Sir! He's–" The lady gasped in shock at what they were all witnessing.
"Shhh!" Mr Zhao hushed her, his face serious, he was pleasantly surprised Nix had gotten the idea of the test in a few seconds before it had begun.
[300 points gained]
[Congratulations on your successful completion, you have a total of 757 points earned]
Nix had a devilish grin on his face. He could feel the excitement of the kill coursing through his body. He hadn't felt such thrill when he had killed the last one back at his home.
[Level up]
This only made his grin widen, this was the thing he loved to hear, by leveling up, he would by no means be stronger, with or without his gift.
[Level up reward are now available]
He looked at the user interface, he couldn't possibly click on the rewards yet, he was sure he was being watched.
"He actually defeated Zokanar."
"It would seem so."
Nix tilted his head, his hearing had been augmented.
'Is this a side benefit of the level up?!' He thought.
Nix ears pricked up at the muffled sounds, this only confirmed what he had thought–he was being watched.
Releasing his grip on the creature, he coldly watched as it fell to the floor, one of its limbs flailing wildly.
Thud!
"Could you please lend me your arms for a few minutes? I'm sure you wouldn't mind." Stepping over the creature's corpse, he placed his right foot on the arm, he pulled on it and with a loud cracking noise, after a few seconds, he successfully pulled it off.
R-i-p!
They all watched the gruesome scene, letting out a collective wince for the creature. He had killed it, why did he still rip out its arms?
Nix looked down at the arm, the green fluid that he had seen earlier was leaking out of the wound. He had dealt a fatal blow. He took the creature's hands in a form of shake.
"I guess I was wrong about him." The lady gave a sinister smile.
"He does have a lot of potential, to have successfully defeated Zokanar without the use of his gift." The man nodded in agreement.
"Yes, he is already stronger than the other candidates we have seen up until now." The lady said with a satisfying smile on her face.
"Nice to meet you Zokanar. Are those people, wherever they are, controlling you?" He turned around with the arms dangling in his hands.
Those behind the one way glass all gasped in horror. It was obvious what was happening, he had heard them. But no one said anything, they were all too confused to say anything, anymore.
He looked around, trying to pinpoint where the sound had come from.
"Quiet, are we?" He mumbled, closing his eyes.
The faint sound of metal dangling, from his guess–the teardrop golden medal, he had seen on Mr Zhao's neck, caught his attention.
He turned his attention to the direction of the noise. It seemed like he had been right, he could hear the shuffling of a foot on the floor also. A faint flicker of movement from the right.
'Lock on!' Looking down at the limbs in his hands, he had a devious thought come to mind.
He threw the severed limb in that direction with great precision, the limb sailed through the air and struck the wall on the other side of the glass, with it coming down in one great crash.
A dust cloak rose in its wake.
The noise it made told him that someone was there.
With a smirk on his face, he turned towards Zokanar, ripping out the other limb with little effort, and hurling it in the same direction.
This time, he heard a gulp and a sharp intake of breath.
"That's enough, Nix!" Mr Zhao's voice thundered, in his grasp was the limb Nix had thrown, it's finger was closely in front of one of those men who had also watched the test given.
'So it was that sh*t face who had reacted so cowardly.' He felt sad about the target, he was clearly not the one who he had targeted, although he couldn't recognise the person well due to the smoke, he could clearly see Mr Zhao, his beard and robe-like dressing was nothing to miss.
"Finally you show your faces... uh.... I think." Nix burst into maniacal laughter, "those sh*t face better disappear if they don't want to be caught in my sh*t list like poor Zokanar!" His mood darkened quickly, his eyes gleamed with a faint hue of blue.
If they thought watching him fight for his life was all fun and games, or like one of those reality TV shows, in the name of testing his gift. Then they were clearly mistaken.
He might as well show them what his gift and ability could really do, the moment he was able to have a clearer picture of their faces once the dust settles.
Mr Zhao's hand began to shake as he looked at the limb hurled earlier, the force he had used was frightening, the mere strength of this student was overwhelming even for him who possessed the fortitude gift.
He could only assume that they were lucky the first had just missed them by a hair, it would seem he had merely aimed to destroy the glass.
But If he hadn't stopped the second one in time, the missile-like limb would have killed one of their core organization members in an instant with its claw ripping through his head.
"Turn and leave. Now!" He said in a low growl to the other three men.
The lady walked up to his side, she had a smile on her, in contrast to Mr Zhao's displeased look.
Not needing any memo, they scurried off like rats in fear, through the back door.
"Did you have your fun?" Mr Zhao casted a disapproving look at Nix.
