Seeing how the creature stopped it's charge to protect it's head, a plan started to form in my mind. If the creature's healing ability was similar to my [Regeneration] skill then it uses DP which ans that it can't heal forever but I doubt I could beat it in a battle of attrition as undeads seem to have limitless stamina. So I'll have to start hitting so vital area or severely damage parts of it's body in hopes that it uses a lot of it's DP to heal, but there was one problem, how the fuck do I do that? As I contemplated my options, the monster seemingly recovered started chasing again. Cursing under my breath I started firing at the undead hoping to slow it down but not even aiming at it's head did the job as it held it's large grey hands to block the bullets from hitting it's head.

The monster gave a good beating but it didn't exactly co out unscathed from our battle. I managed to wound it a fair bit but all of those wounds were healing quickly, making wonder just how much DP this monster had, and just as I thought about this, a very risky idea ford in my mind, one that might get killed but also win this battle. It was kind of a desperate idea but it was the only feasible one I had right now. And so I did sothing really risky, I closed my eyes during the fight and that [Supernatural Senses] skill really showed it's worth as I managed to protect my vital areas from the monster's claws relying on nothing but my hearing enhanced by my newly acquired trait, [Senses Manipulation] and my instincts. This was the most terrified I have been in my entire life as I wondered whether the monster will grow a few extra brain cells and switch up it's attack pattern, but it remained the sa robotic and monotonous pattern, making predictable, but it's sharp claw still dug out chunks of my flesh, clawing against bone. My [Regeneration] skill went into overdrive as the wounds healed constantly, but the pain and blood lingered.
The monster roared before running at and swinging it's claws at my chest but I refused to open my eyes and instead curled up into a ball on the ground as the pain beca too much. I blocked out the pain assaulting my body and concentrated on the demonic energy inside my body trying to get it to enhance my physical prowess sohow. I imagined my body getting stronger and faster, I imagined being able to beat the monster that stood before . Then sothing happened, it felt like my blood was racing with joy as it flowed around my body making feel extrely hot. I opened my eyes and they were glowing red and my sight looked like when I used [Aura Vision] only this ti I was focused on one target. I pushed the undead off and jumped backwards. My wounds started to heal at a pace visible to the human eye and my body surged with power and an indescribable rage, disdain and pride. Rage at the monster who pushed this far and caused so much agony, disdain at myself for letting this foul abomination that once called itself human push this far and finally pride, a pride that was torn and needed to be repaired, which only could be done by ripping this vile creature to shreds, only then would I be satisfied.
I gripped the machete tightly as a dark red aura exuded from my body. I lunged at the undead and it lunged at . We clashed furiously, my machete against it's claws and it felt amazing fighting all out like that with only the desire to destroy my opponent but I didn't attack recklessly but with purpose and a plan. I first tried to immobilize it by cutting the tendons in it's hands but they just kept regenerating so I tried a different approach.
I took a gun in one hand and shot at it's heads and as predicted it blocked I then got behind it and slashed behind it's knees then I fired bullet after bullet into the back of it's head and a large amount of black mist ca out and started healing it. That's right, I decided to make this a battle of attrition, who would run out of DP first. As it's head healed it turned around and swung it's claws at and I jumped out of their range. Then I ran in and slashed at it's extended hand cutting off two of it's fingers causing black mist to leak out like crazy trying to heal them but the monster didn't seem to care as it just swung it's other hand at but I slid under it's claws. Getting back on my feet I blocked a kick from it and skid across the floor due to the force.
It chased after like a blood hound but I fired shots at it's head while running forward then I jumped into the air and swung down with all of my might at it's blocking arms.
*Slice*
*Putchu*
*Drop*
Success. I managed to slice it's arms off. Taking this opportunity I emptied the entire mag into it's head then I took the second gun and emptied it's mag into the creatures head as well. Now a black mist stopped leaking from it's severed arms and a cloud of black mist surrounded it's head, trying to heal it, but I wouldn't let that happen. I jumped at it and swung my machete at it's neck but it tried to block with one of it's stump so I shortened it's hand even more at the elbow. I lunged at it's neck once again and it tried to block with it's other hand but it failed.
