Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

70 End of the battle



[The Goblin Chief has entered the berserk state]

[The Alpha Hound has entered the berserk state]

‘…’

I cleared my mind and did not allow any dangerous thoughts to linger within. I knew that thinking about me somehow being cursed would worsen the situation, but even after having remained silent for a couple of seconds, I could not help but look at the mana I had left and grimace.

‘I’m 100% sure I’m going to die!’ I inwardly cried but still stood a few meters away from the pair of master and servant, a cold aura coming out of me.

A slight frown appeared on my face at the same time, however, but instead of it being one of worry, it seemed to be one of someone who had gathered their resolve for battle and was ready to attack the enemies with everything I had.

I clenched onto the hilt of the blade I held as tightly as I could. The red aura was coming out of my body at a rate that I could have only been able to imagine before the awakening that occurred after I gained my element, but the amount didn’t matter right now since I couldn’t control my red energy the way I wanted.

‘Gotta remember to ask Blanca how to control my magic when I get back out.’ I tried to think positively, yet after thinking of Blanca, the only thing that lingered within my mind was the hatred I had for her mixed with the amount of disdain I held towards her uselessness.

‘If only I was strong enough…’

At that moment, I felt my resolve shoot through the roof.

Today I was going to become stronger, and while this usually would have meant a lot to me since it would mean that I was one step closer to ending the elves and their society, I was not thinking of everything I could do with that much power.

‘I wouldn’t be pushed around by people like Blanca… Those who are so much stronger than me. I would have freedom from the very first time in what feels like forever.’-.

With resolve filling me to the brim as well as hatred towards the elves and Blanca making me release and an enormous amount of killing intent, I launched forward and tore through the air appearing in front of the hound with the speed of a blurring shadow.

However, before I could even do anything to harm the hound…

*BOOM*

I was flung across the throne room and immediately smashed into the wall behind the throne.

It felt like the world was spinning around me, but I did not have time to lament as another enormous surge of dread hit me once again.

Without skipping a beat, I rolled the right and heard another loud crashing sound before the creature seemed to turn towards me with a grunt.

At the same moment, I felt another surge of dread and power head towards me, making my expression turn ugly before my eyes flashed with coldness and my sword swung at it with all the power I could muster.

Having still had the red energy intertwined with the blade, it had corroded a little but the effects weren’t too much, however, the moment the blade clashed with the spear of the chief goblin, I heard a crack enter my ears and forced myself to jump away.

*Grunt*

Feeling the dread and hearing the grunt, I opened my eyes once again, and even though it still felt like the world was spinning around me, it was worth it since I could now see exactly how and what was attacking me.

Looking down, I saw that the hound was extending its claws towards me as I moved through the air after having jumped away from the goblin chief.

Gritting my teeth once again, I held the sword with both my hands and used the weight it had gained after absorbing my blood energy to spin mid-air.

*Swoosh*

I felt the wind brush past my face as an enormous paw moved past me, barely missing me and hitting thin air.

‘I can do this…’

I stressed the muscles in my arm and flicked my sword upright. I felt a burst of wind hit me in the face, yet even then I forced myself to keep them wide open.

‘I can do this.’

*Swoosh*

I felt the wind parting from my right, urging me to turn around and look at the spear that was tearing through the air and moving at a terrifying speed towards my heart.

‘I can do this.’

My eyes darted to the left, where the paw had missed me and had still not been retracted. A small but confident smile curled up the corner of my lips and one of my feet slammed into the paw of the hound making it tilt backward and allowing me to use it as leverage.

In the same instant, I blurred through the air and narrowly dodged the incoming spear, ducking under it and appearing in front of the shocked goblin chief unscathed.

‘Let’s see how you deal with this!’

Extending my hands, I gripped onto the wrist of the goblin chief. I felt it instinctually try to break out of my grip, yet before it could do so, it suddenly froze when it felt something happening.

[Life Drain Activated]

A numbing pain traveled up to its shoulder and shook its bones. The feeling within its arm had vanished in that split second, and panic took over its mind.

While life drain in reality only took 1hp per second, it did not mean that the robbing of someone’s hp would be painless. Based on what I have seen so far, it is similar to being slowly cooked from the inside out while losing your senses one by one.

Before the hound or goblin chief could react, I thrust my blade between their eyes. Blood gushed out of the other side while an ear-piercing screech of terror left its mouth. Not wanting to hear any more of it, I withdrew my blade and slit its throat just deep enough to cut its vocal cords or at least make its screams inaudible due to the blood that it had begun to drown in.

*Thud*

*thud*

The goblin chief’s body landed heavily on the ground while my fall was graceful, almost inaudible to those who did not have good hearing.

*Clang*

Looking back, I realized that the goblin chief’s spear had fallen too, making me widen my eyes in realization.

‘Loot!? Finally! I have been blessed!’

*ROAR*

The entire cavern seemed to shake under the bellowing roar of the hound. My eyes narrowed slightly while my body once again became a blur in the same second. Since I still had the blood energy running rampage within my body and giving me an enormous boost in power, I was able to move at speeds incomparable to before, yet even that seemed to be inconsequential compared to the speed of the hound.

Within the blink of an eye, I was forced to defend my right side by slashing my now blood-red sword in that direction. Cracks were already visibly increasing in quantity, but I still chose to attack the fearsome claws of the beast with the weapon.

*Clash*

*Crack*

*Shatter*

My eyes widened, not in surprise but in terror.

I had already expected the sword to shatter after taking this hit, yet not only did it meet my expectations, it seemed to go beyond it.

After shattering, the blood energy burst out in the direction of the paw, yet one second late and I already felt the danger come closer once again.

A furless paw with 3 claws missing struck out at me with what seemed like lightning speed. I could only watch as it came closer and closer, my fate almost being sealed immediately.

However, I was not weak… I would never allow myself to die in such a way. I had every chance to survive. I could think of a thousand ways that I could have optimized a better situation, yet here I stood waiting for my death.

No matter how many lives I had, I would never let something like this happen.

How would I fight against the elves if I was so willing to die to a measly dog?

Stretching my arm back, I felt it grow in power and get filled to the brim with blood energy, to the point where a single incorrect movement might have caused my entire arm to blow up like a water balloon.

[Conditions met]

[Pinpoint activated]

Seeing the red outlines of all its weak spots, the halo within my eyes lit up with a bright crimson color while the veins within my arm started to glow.

Finally, my arm exploded out with power and energy, shooting forward and unbelievable speeds, and descended upon the claw of the tiger.

*BOOM*

The sound of bones shattering into a thousand pieces resounded within the cavern before two audible thuds echoed once again before silence descended and the battle for the very last time.
