Emotion Taster
Arc 3 Sweet Stinging Acidic Ant Format: Chapter 26 - Stalling Time
*Whoush ....
*Dug, dug ....
"Hhh!?"
Geza again jumped sharply, lunging at me while swinging his spear hard slashing horizontally. His anger was obvious, it again gave me the power of emotional detection. But, Amalia who was further away made the power less, what I felt in the body was not the same as before.
*dodge
I jumped backwards, dodging the attack from not believing that my hand could hold it.
"HAHA!!"
"Gkhus!"
The lobster witch attack was so fast, my avoidance was nothing. One step, two steps, the first jump, the second slide, continues like it is facing the swing of its spear. Even with sharpening senses, I cannot keep up with Geza who just got used to fighting two people at once.
Stank up! Stank up!
In the end, I couldn't keep avoiding it. A few attacks from him could exceed the speed of the body, at that time there was no choice to pit each other against weapons. How quickly I retreated, how well I kept my distance, the tip of the spear blade always followed.
"HA!! Kaivan, Kaivan, Kaivan!!"
"Gkght!"
Looks like we're lucky here?
"Huh?"
In the middle of the battle, the voice of Pero reappeared in my head. I don't know where it is right now, but he with his crow shape certainly won't be perched forever on my shoulders when fighting.
"What's lucky?" tanyaku muttered to himself in a small voice so as not to be heard clearly by Geza.
He let his magician fight against Lia. That meant that the servant man had no chance of winning.
Stank!!
In the conversations and sentences that Pero said, I was still busy overcoming the fight. My hands repeatedly needed to resist and deflect Geza's spear attacks. It pisses me off because the crow is kind of underestimating my condition.
"It's impossible to win the same as me. Gkht, hah, hh .. hah .... I can't last long with gini."
Stank up!
Relax, Lia will help you if she manages to cripple the glasses guy. So, you just need to buy some time.
Replied Peter who was still using telekinesis buzzing in my head.
"Good plan, but how do I survive this?"
The best defense is to attack.
"If I can attack him now, I don't have to ask just now!" I cried a little with that stupid answer.
Just strengthen your strength, before you had made his neck crack.
"You know, sometimes I hate you because your cleverness can be lost at random times. And that includes now!"
Stank up!
"Why!? What are you talking about!?" ask Geza who has been fighting ever since and see my mouth speak for itself. "HAHA!!"
And of course he's still attacking.
Stank up!
It was an attack right into the head. Because it was so dangerous, I even changed the way I held my knife from the knife tip to the top like a chef, to go down like a ninja. It will give a stronger grip, especially in my condition which continues to weaken in the face of repeated attacks.
"Huh .. hh .. hah ...."
I didn't have time to talk to him, my own strength was too drained to dodge, fend off, and talk to Peter just now. So, in the last attack I managed to fend off, my breath prevented me from having another conversation.
"You know, Kaivan." Said Geza who opened the conversation with the spear he put on his shoulder as a form of truce. "In fact, until now I still hope that you agree with my actions. Killing you now is a futile act."
I fell silent tired in a half-standing position, his fading anger made my body also dim. Aching, heavy, and cramped body becomes clearly felt now.
"Hah .. hah .. gluc. If you still hold your opinion strong, why do you think I'm not?" I refused subtly.
"You just don't know, Kaivan. What is happening in this world is worse than your words!!"
*swing
On one last vowel, Geza swung his spear very hard at me.
*Whoush ....
"Hhh!?"
I regained consciousness and felt his emotional waves with a backward jump reflex.
Bugs!
*crack
I was standing next to the hospital wall. Because of the evasion I did, the swing of the wall hit hard to make a hole in the wall. The size of the hole is very large with a radius of one meter, even bigger with the ruins that fall following. If an ordinary human were to be hit by such an attack, he would be split very neatly due to his great strength.
"Ukh, fuck. Maybe this hospital will be on TV tomorrow" I murmured after seeing the mess with the dust fog and the rubble of the walls strewn about.
No, he's not stupid, Kaivan. We are now in an animus world, a different dimension where the physical damage here is not directly related to your world.
The answer to my complaint was suddenly brightened by the buzzing sound of Pero's telepathy. He was still watching me from an unknown location.
Maybe that calms me down a little. Because if that's true, I have one more option in this pinched condition.
Alright.
*dash
"Where are you going, Kaivan? Shut yourself up in the building, Ha!?" tanyanya jerking.
"I can't win, so maybe a narrow place can reduce your mobility," I replied with a slight shout, shouting from inside the hospital building whose entrance was still covered with dust just now.
"So you think these wall cages can make you win? HAHA!! I can't wait to see your losing face after doing this" he said as he walked into a hole in the hospital wall just now.
This actually also does not guarantee, it could be that narrow space even harms me by eliminating one agility factor. Accept it or not, a cement wall like this was not strong enough to withstand the might of Geza's slash. So, what I'm doing right now is betting.
I sneak on the sidelines of a pretty unique hospital building. The hallways here are long and have plenty of space along the way. If I'm lucky, I can make a sudden attack here.
The inside of the hospital turned out to be no one. The atmosphere here is the same as when outside, my senses work a little strangely like they have different air pressures. But, if you say something like the interior, this place is exactly the same as the original hospital. It is like a mirror world that borrows form without any living being in it.
"Caivan!" calling him out loudly echoed in another way in the hallway. "I probably hate to say this. But, what you believe is not entirely true."
I was now sitting hiding on one of the walls of the room, waiting for his arrival to pass in one of the hallways to next carry out an attack. Our own distance is not far away, I can confirm it with volume and vibrate sound. After all, the quiet state here is also very supportive for my emotional detection to work well.
*Step, step, step
"You may be right about the sick, you may be right about science to advance for healing. But, the rest of you don't know anything."
*Dug, dug ... dug, dug ....
Geza began to approach, my adrenaline there also began to be spurred again every step closer.
"The world is dirty, the world is broken. You also understand, don't you mean, Kaivan?"
From my current location, it could be heard clearly what he was saying. Whether it was a coincidence or not, Geza acted as if he was talking in person and knew I was listening.
"Every year there are cases of torture, there are cases of bully, victims of fraud, severe stress living life, depression when faced with many problems, and other kinds. If they want to die and escape the weight of the world, it's a gift to them."
*Step, step ....
"Really, right? KAIVAN!!"
*Whoush ....
"Hhh!"
I felt the waves of emotion. He was right next to the room and managed to find my location. Together with a shout calling out to me, he put his strength and swung hard the spear ignoring the walls around intending to crush me with him.
Bugs!
The sound of his weapon was not even clanging anymore, more like the effect of an explosion on a construction project. The broken wall is really scary like facing a monster in an action movie.
I wasn't really hit or hurt by the wreckage. My spurred movements and instincts were enough to avoid it. In fact, I had a chance with the dust bulb created just now.
*dash
My feet pushed hard on the surface of the floor, the repulsion was used to give enough force to catapult my body. The direction of the attack went to his neck, with this I was able to finish the attack that I had previously done giving a crack.
"HAHA!!"
Geza realized with that, he again slashed the spear hard horizontally.
I was held back for a while, lowered my head and let the spear dart over. I don't know how many times I've done this, but it seems like it's enough because it's a stiff type of spear attack.
Bugs!
Once again the spear hit the wall smashing it into pieces. Although the tip of the blade was still straight through the wall, but at least Geza felt the impact of his spear swing slowing down.
I threw my body back, to the side and looked for the back. With all these maneuvers, I finally reached his back neck. Then ....
*slace
Attack my neck in the same place.
"..."
"..."
Hn?
I daydreamed for a few seconds, the sensation when I attacked him was not the same as before. An attack that should feel like damaging ceramics until the sides are not there, a hand canal about my knife blade even shot smoothly does not give the impression of being rubbed.
"God ... HAHA!!"
*Dug, dug!!
Back my emotion detection ability worked. Geza who triggered his anger tried to attack me ferociously.
I dodged, jumping fast like a cat running away from its fear.
"Kaivan, if you're after my neck again, you better forget it."
"..."
Geza who had launched an attack also retracted his fighting position. He who saw me jump at a distance also tried to take the opportunity to talk again.
"I'm a lobster, and when a lobster loses its shell, it replaces it with a bigger, stronger one."
"Hhh!?"
Geza showed me the side of the neck that was previously cracked by my attack. But, now that the wound was gone, he regenerated his hard skin quickly.
Alright, now I'm dealing with a hard-bodied monster and quick regeneration. Something that I thought would only be found in superhero movies turned out to be real.
