Chapter 74: DO NOT BUY!!!
Blood spurted out on his body like a tap. Tron tossed it aside as this wasn't what he was looking for. Undoubtedly, this heart is worth hundreds of silver coins if sold to the academy. But Tron proceed to ignore it as it would only take up more space. He would still have to battle Magical Beasts.
The most valuable part of a beasts is its geneskin but this beast was only an enhanced beast, therefore, it hadn't developed its geneskin yet even then, some enhanced beasts possess Mutagenic organs which is the sole reason for their ability.
Tron's eyes lit up and the squelching sound of his hands moving through organs stopped. He drew out his hands, bringing out a small organ shaped like a starfish with numerous connected veins that spilled out fluids from its mouth.
Quickly exiting Blood Burn form, he placed the organ into his backpack. The cooling system of the backpack immediately activated, freezing the organ to preserve it. As for the remains of the beast, Trons decided to abandon it, and then turned to leave.
With his enhanced senses, he could see that he was alone, but the feeling of being watched didn't seize his heart.
"Might be a supervisor from the institute," Tron mumbled softly, walking down the ruined street with his backpack in hand. The night was coming and it was the most dangerous part of the day. Therefore, it was better to find a place to settle down for the night.
.....
Boom! Boom!
Explosive sounds echoed.
"Faster! Faster! Faster!" Tron dashed through the forest and rocks like lightning, cursing that his parents didn't give him more legs, his speed surpassing 25 meters per second with each step.
For an average person, speed would reduce by at least half in such complex terrain, but for Tron, the impact was minimal. That was why he had managed to escape so far.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
"Ha!"
"Roar!" Behind Tron, more than ten humanoid magical monster chased wildly, each moving at incredible speed.
They were all over three meters tall, with skin that looked hardened like stone, appearing as if they were towering rock humans.
Some wielded sharp stone weapons and wooden spears, while others picked up large stones, hurling them with immense force, the stones crashing down like cannonballs toward the fleeing Tron.
"The Rock Men Clan! The humanoid creatures here are actually the legendary Stone Men," Tron thought, both angry and helpless.
This was a very brutal race, with skin like rock, very tough, and large in stature, usually living in desert and rocky regions.
Tron hadn't expected to meet magical creature of this caliber here.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Tron frantically dodged the crashing stones.
Stones that hit trees left huge dents, sometimes even shattering them to splinters.
Tron quickly assessed the situation. Most of the Rock Men Clan members chasing him were actually Magus level creatures, with the weakest at the level of Peak Acolyte level.
Combined with their innate intelligence and weapon skills, if he faced them head-on, even if he killed a few, he would undoubtedly die without external aid.
Therefore, Tron chose to escape immediately.
But Tron never expected that the Rock Men Clan would pursue him relentlessly. Moreover, they were incredibly fast too.
However, the complex terrain greatly limited their speed, preventing them from fully utilizing their physical advantages.
However, as time passed, the distance between them gradually shortened.
"Chasing for several kilometers, are they still not giving up?" Tron cursed inwardly, quickly scanning his surroundings and multitasking.
He needed to find a suitable battlefield.
Ideally, a place that limited their ranged attacks and their numerical advantage.
Such places were hard to find.
Suddenly. He spotted one such places.
It was a place filled with massive trees and boulders that can prevent these Stone Monsters from ganging up on him.
"Blood Burn!"
"ROOOOOAR!"
Time seem to slow down and Tron's body could be seen stretching and enlarging rapidly each second.
Terrifying green veins wriggled and bulged obscenely against his flesh. His muscles shook violently, as his tissues immediately started to bulge rapidly.
The 206 bone and fibres of muscles in his body erupted in an explosive growth, tearing through the confinement of his gene limit.
Tron's expanded muscles shook, releasing an explosive wave that cause a massive air blast.
In the next second, he leaned forwards and with a loud thud, his left feet stomped heavily to the ground.
"BAM!"
His body shot forwards like an artillery shell, appearing before the largest and the most powerful one of the Stone men in the blink of an eye.
His left hand outstretched as though wanting to touch the chest of the strongest Stoneman who was closest to him when he muttered in a low voice.
"Blood Blade."
The runic symbols on Tron's wrist lit up as they wriggle like thousands of worms as the Ancient words reacted and activated.
The air trembled and a massive circle morphed in mid air as crimson Mist-like gas escaped Tron's arm morphing into a large two meters long blade.
[+1 physique, +10 limit points ]
[+1 strength, +10 limit points ]
[+2 agility, +10 limit points ]
Before anyone could react the blood blade slammed directly into the Stone man's chest with the force of a grenade.
"BOOM!!!"
The Stone man's body was blasted backwards as though it had been hit by a massive train. Even the smaller Stone men behind it were caught by the kinetic energy as the flying Stone Men rammed into them.
The other six Stonemen were immediately stunned.
Using this opportunity, Tron stomped heavily to the ground. His body moving like a Mist as the surroundings turned into a blur.
"Whoosh!"
As he moved with astonishing speed, mid movement, his right hand suddenly grabbed at the face of a stunned Stonemen, the force so massive the Stonemen's head moved backwards along with Tron with its body lifting off of the ground. Before it could react, the Tron twisted his waist, slamming its skull to the heavily to the ground.
"BANG!"
The impact shook the earth and the back skull of the Stonemen instantly fractured. But the body of a Stonemen was extremely durable than the human body. A fracture in the skull wasn't necessarily dangerous.
As though Tron had the same thought, he raised his right leg high up to the sky and a mumble ran through his throat as he roared something.
In the blink of an eye, his leg turned the fabric of space into an arc of deep blur! Stretching from the leg he raised to the leg currently on the skull of the Stonemen.
It was as though the air had distorted, creating a blur along the two points Tron's leg had been.
"Boom!"
The embedded skull of the Stonemen instantly exploded into smithereens, bone and shredded meat escaping the point of impact as the upper half of the Stonemen's body was buried deep in the ground.
"Rooooar!" "Rooooar!!" "Rooooar!!!"
It was at this period the Stonemens snapped out of their shock. They immediately released earth shattering roars that created overlapping shockwaves that spread out for several kilometers.
In that instant, they rushed towards Tron with extreme speed, causing the ground to shake as they crushed the boulders in their way.
Tron's face changed slightly. He had only been able to kill two magical creatures using surprise attacks. Now that the rest had recovered, there was no way they would allow him to pick them off one by one.
Tron huffed, releasing hot steams from his nostrils. Stretching his hands, he grabbed at the blade behind his back and immediately slashed Megaton forwards.
"BANG!"
[+1 physique, +10 limit points ]
[+2.9 strength, +10 limit points ]
[+1 agility, +10 limit points ]
The blade vibrated intensely as it slammed into the hardened body of an Acolyte level Stonemen, sending it sideways like a baseball. It's body crashing against the wall of a small hill.
With a dull thud, Tron's left foot slammed heavily on the grass, creating uneven cracks that spread out for several tens of meters, dodging the fist of one of the Stonemen. He raised his kneel, and a dull thud sounded when it collided against the chest of the Stonemen.
"Crack!"
The force made the Stonemen stagger until it fell backwards. However Tron felt his kneel cap shattered from the force.
[+5 physique, +100 limit points ]
[+5 strength, +100 limit points ]
[+1 agility, +100 limit points ]
Using a level 9 force against a magical beast wasn't that effective, luckily he had activated Blood Burn otherwise, his entire leg bones would have shattered to splinters.
Stablizing himself, he turned his torso and his leg lifted high as he abruptly kicked out. With another bang, the head of the third Stonemen tilted backwards as small cracks appeared on its Stone head.
"BANG!"
[+10 physique, +1000 limit points ]
[+10 strength, +1000 limit points ]
[+7 agility, +700 limit points ]
Suddenly, Tron felt immense pain on his shoulders and his entire left arm went numb as his vision blurred.
The fourth and the fifth Stonemen had actually used this opportunity to attack him with a massive log.
The ground cracked as his kneel forcefully smashed into the ground with a muffled thump sound.
Tron's eyes turned red as the Blood burn ability reduced his intellectual process and he immediately became very angry.
Without hesitation, he slapped his palm forwards a against the fourth Stoneman's head, activating Blood Blade for the second time.
"BOOM!"
Blood spurted out on his body like a tap. Tron tossed it aside as this wasn't what he was looking for. Undoubtedly, this heart is worth hundreds of silver coins if sold to the academy. But Tron proceed to ignore it as it would only take up more space. He would still have to battle Magical Beasts.
