Chapter 340 - 370: Fighting The Realm 2 Puppet



Even though he didn't understand what was going on, Eric had no intention of neglecting his instincts as he quickly rolled on the arena to create distance with the puppet behind him.

At the same time, he didn't forget to spread his spirit sense and understand what had happened just a moment ago, that made him feel like he was about to die.

The moment he understood what had happened though he couldn't help but feel extremely happy inside himself to have dodged his death that easily a moment ago.

Not only hadn't the puppet collapsed like he had thought it would, but despite having its head deformed, the puppets head had suddenly changed into a sharp katana and was heading for its neck.

In case that he had been even one second late with his reaction, most probably his neck would have been pierced by that katana, and even if he didn't die then he surely wouldn't be too far away.

Sensing that and understanding the situation he couldn't help but feel his body tremble a bit, as he thought that he was extremely lucky.

At the same time, he felt extremely stupid to have underestimated the Realm 2 puppet in front of him, not only was its composition stronger and sturdier than the rest but it also was more flexible and weirder.

This was the first time he was witnessing something like this as the puppet in front of him had the sturdiness of a steel weapon, and the flexibility of jelly.

As if that wasn't enough, its strength, speed, agility, and dexterity were top notch also. While this thing didn't have inner energy to catalyst its actions, it wasn't on the losing side.

Feeling that, and understanding the current situation, Eric couldn't help but feel his heart beast extremely fast once again.

He was even more excited about this clash, as the disappointment of a moment ago had completely dispersed without any trace.

Understanding that it was useless no matter how much he damaged the puppet externally, Eric took out its 'Silent Reaper' from his storage ring, and immediately went for the clash.

The puppet didn't have a head anymore, as it was replaced by a sharp katana, just like one of its hands, as it jumped towards Eric with the intention to kill.

Puppets didn't have emotions, or feelings, they only had orders and programs to execute. Most probably this thing's program was to kill whoever managed to enter inside the arena.

So, there was no reason for Eric to take that killing strike personal, in fact he even appreciated the puppet a little bit, as it was helping him train better.

Not waiting for the katanas to reach him, Eric made a jump of his own, as he used his dagger to slightly change the direction of the katanas, then use the inertia to dodge the attack.

In normal cases the longer the weapon was, the more advantage the fighter had, but there were also exceptions like this one, where the efficiency, and skill could cover that disparity.

But the moment that Eric fell on the ground by the side, he didn't stop, quite on the contrary, he used his left leg as a catapult and jumped towards the back of the puppet.

'Clanggg~!'

His dagger clashed on the puppets back, but besides a small scratch there was nothing else on the puppets back.

As if that wasn't enough, his precious dagger had even suffered quite a bit, and it had lost a bit of its luster and sharpness, making him quite a bit angry, and nostalgic.

This dagger had been with him for quite some time now, and had helped him quite a bit, but right now it seemed to have suffered under his hand.

Well, a weapon was a weapon anyway! In fact, it should be this dagger's honor to be fighting with such a perverted existence like this Realm 2 puppet, so he didn't linger much on those thoughts.

Now wasn't the time for it anymore, as he quickly acted once again, and this timed used his right leg as a catapult to jump on the side, and then land a kick on the puppets crotch area.

Since its head, and its chest were useless to hit, then the only remaining option in Eric's head would be the puppets crotch.

What surprised him though, was the fact that as his kick was about to land on the puppets crotch area, one of its thighs changed, and it made a small cover over that particular place.

Eric's kick landed on the cover, and deformed it quite a bit on the inside, but its wasn't enough to cause damage on the puppet.

In fact, immediately after Eric pulled his leg back, and created some distance with the puppet, he saw the puppets leg quickly transform into its original shape, and form.

At this moment doubts started appearing on Eric's mind, could it be that it's crotch area was truly its weak point?

But why!? It didn't seem much different from the other parts. In fact, his kick towards that particular spot a moment ago was more of an instinct than a premeditated hit.

He felt like he was only trying to disperse a bit of that negativity inside his heart, remembering those low lives that had betrayed him, and his feelings.

Who would have expected that the puppet would defend that area with its leg, and even showing its great flexible and morphic talents.

Even though he felt that there was something strange with it, this was better than nothing, and Eric felt that it was worth the try.

But since it was so protective of its front area, then it would be a bit difficult to surpass its defenses upfront, so he had to think of something else, when a bright idea suddenly appeared in his head.

Since that part was special and deserved protection, then it didn't matter if he attacked it from the front or from behind as his kick would still reach the same place.

But for the puppet the difference was great as it didn't have eyes on the back of its head, so it shouldn't be able to react as quickly as it did.

With that decision made, he quickly dodged by the side the incoming attack, followed by dodging to other attacks and then suddenly appear behind the puppet and striking the same place from behind.

It was only when his kick was about to land on the back of the puppets lower end that he understood how stupid he had acted at that point.

How the fu*ck did he come to the conclusion that the puppet didn't have 'eyes' on its back, when this damn puppet didn't have eyes at all.

Truly at first this thing had a human shape, and appearance, but later forget its human appearance its head had turned into a katana.

Yet it seemed to easily pinpoint his position and standing as each and every one of its attacks was aimed at his vital points.

Wasn't he trying to pass the donkey as a horse when it was clear that it had two big donkey ears?

Damn!

How could he be so stupid!?

He had been so excited by all this thing, that he had forgotten that he was fighting against a weird morphic puppet, and not a human being.

The moment that clarity returned to him, he decided to stop testing the puppets strength, and directly engage in close combat with it.

Until now he had been keeping a middle range between himself and the puppet, with the idea of trying to build his fighting calmness, in order to better 'see' a situation.

But it had clearly worked against him, so he was frustrated, and only some good old punching and kicking would help him release that frustration.

As soon as he decided on his line of action, he stopped retreating this time, as he sent his right punch towards the puppets chest, while his left punch towards its abdomen.

The moment he did that, he was thinking, let us see how you defend that. But the result clearly stunned him a bit, as the puppet let his right punch land on its chest, while it covered its abdomen.

Eric's right punch wasn't light or easy, as he managed to make quite the deformation on the puppets chest, but it didn't seem like a critical hit.

Not only that, but the moment that the right punch landed, the puppet tried to use its body to trap his fist.

There was no way Eric was going to allow something like that to happen, as he quickly pulled his right fist back, together with his left, and attacked again.

This time his right and left fists changed their targets, as the right went for the puppets abdomen while the left for its chest, but once again the result was the same.

Still, Eric didn't lose heart, despite this, as he kept punching at the puppets body like a mad man, as there was blood spilling out of his knuckles, and his teeth gums.

Despite that he was still surprised to see that the puppet seemed to be analyzing his hits, and adapting to his strength, while getting better and better at blocking his fists.

In fact, this damn puppet seemed to be getting closer and closer of trapping Eric's fists, while its katana hands, and head were about to pierce Eric in a three way attack.

If Eric didn't create some distance soon, he was bound to suffer quite the attack on himself, but he didn't seem to be willing to give up.

He believed that he was able, and capable of shattering this damn puppet with his strength…
