Kravash stood atop the ruined fortress, his piercing yellow eyes gleaming with amusent.
The goblin general's grin had not faded...
If anything, it had stretched even wider, a predator savoring the mont before the kill.
The goblin general's smile widened.
Then he moved.
One mont, he was standing atop the fortress.
The next, he was in front of Adam.
A flash of steel.
Adam barely reacted in ti.
He twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the curved dagger that sliced through the air.
Even still, he felt the pain of the blade against his ribs, a thin line of red appearing across his side.
Kravash was fast... even faster than in his last life!
[Frog Eater] : Odd.. I don't rember this boss being this strong...
[Experienced Old Knight] : It's the [True Body], of course it's gonna be a lot stronger.
[5th Style Sword Master] : That still doesn't make this any less weird. How did the livestrear trigger the [True Body] status when we didn't even see him explore...
[Bird Hunter] : Well, he did say he had siblings on the upper floors... maybe they ssaged him about these information?
[5th Style Sword Master] : The ssaging function doesn't unlock till the second floor though.
Contrary to the lively livestream chat, Adam was struggling.
[Mind Ravage's effects have intensified.]
Adam staggered back.
His thoughts were drowning in noise.
The whispers of violence, the need to kill, kill, kill...
Adam's dagger streaked toward Kravash's throat, but the goblin twisted unnaturally, avoiding the strike with ease.
The general's movents were fluid, almost mocking, as if this wasn't even a fight to him.
Adam clicked his tongue.
He swung again.
A feint—
Pulling back at the last second before aiming for Kravash's heart.
This ti, he connected.
Or so he thought.
CLANG!
A burst of force sent Adam skidding backward.
His dagger had struck sothing, but it wasn't flesh...
It was like hitting a steel wall!
His blade bounced off an invisible force.
'It's his barrier ability...'
Adam's mind raced, but before he could react, Kravash's knee slamd into his ribs.
Hard.
CRACK!
Pain shot through his side like white-hot fire.
He was flung backward, rolling across the dungeon floor before slamming against a jagged stone wall.
His vision blurred a bit as his breath ca out ragged.
'That barrier ability can only activate against one person at a ti...'
Adam thought, putting in his knowledge of this floor boss from his past life.
Kravash stalked forward, his aura pressing down like an iron weight.
"Petty... tricks!"
He raised a hand.
A pulse of magic rippled outward.
Adam barely had ti to react before the wave of force crashed into him.
The ground shattered.
Stone cracked and split apart as his bones vibrated under the impact.
His body scread in protest, but Adam gritted his teeth and forced himself to move.
Kravash was powerful... but he obviously wasn't invincible.
He couldn't rely on raw strength... he had to readjust Kravash's montum!
Adam imdiately changed tactics.
[Select Viewer Skill to Copy]
A system prompt flashed before his eyes.
Frog Eater.
[Temporary Copy has been activated…]
[Due to low level and low rank, skill picking will be randomized…]
Another chi.
[Temporary Copy is successful!]
[Temporarily Copied: Successive Leap!]
[Reducing Successive Leap to its F-tier version…]
[Successive Leap has been reduced to Frog Movent.]
[Temporary Copy: Frog Movent (30 Second Duration)]
[Frog Movent] : Movent speed increased by 30%, Jump Ability increased by 40%.
His fingers twitched.
[Surreal Creation].
The mont the ability activated, Adam imdiately activated the A-tier ability [Surreal Creation].
Multiple copies of Adam ca into view!
So identical to him and so even turned into goblins.
Each one moved in erratic, unpredictable patterns.
Kravash's eyes narrowed as he scoffed, clearly unamused by the illusions.
Then he moved.
Fast.
His blade carved through the air, slicing through the illusions in a blur of silver.
One by one, they vanished, dissolving into mist.
But Adam was already on the move.
Using [Frog Movent], he darted between the flickering figures, slipping through the gaps between Kravash's attacks like water through cracks.
His movents beca faster, each step light as air.
Then—
Blood surged.
Dark-red tendrils of liquid steel writhed around Adam, responding to his command.
[Body Blood Magic].
The shattered stone floor suddenly cracked open as crimson spikes shot upward like a blossoming forest of spears.
Kravash's instincts imdiately let out.
He twisted, dodging the first few strikes, but the blood spears moved with him, tracking him.
He snarled, slashing through one of the incoming spikes, but another lashed out from behind, grazing his arm drawing blood.
Adam's eyes flashed.
'He's weak against confusing attacks...'
[nonexnihilio42069 has donated 30 coins]
[nonexnihilio42069] : You know, at the rate that the main character is regenerating his blood... he might as well turn the entire battlefield into a red ocean.
[Frog Eater] : I don't even wanna question what your stream userna ans...
[Arken_Knight has donated 15 coins]
[Arken_Knight approves of the livestrear's fighting ability!]
Adam launched himself forward.
More illusions took shape which went through the battlefield like ghosts, each one a moving as a distraction.
Goblin figures lunged at Kravash from the corners of his vision.
So were fake... but not all!
From above, a dagger glinted.
Kravash glanced from above.
But it was too late.
Adam descended from the air, using [Frog Movent] to launch himself at an impossible angle.
His dagger arced downward... aid for the gap in Kravash's armor!
But Kravash was no fool.
At the last second, he spun, his blade catching Adam's strike— deflecting it!
The impact sent Adam skidding backward...
However Adam's his lips curled up into a smile.
The blood spear beneath Kravash's feet suddenly erupted!
SHUNK!
A bloody spike ripped through his leg.
For the first ti... Kravash staggered!
Adam didn't let him catch a breath.
He surged forward, illusions popping up around him like shifting phantoms.
Blood magic whirled through the air, forming razor-thin needles that zipped toward the goblin general like a swarm of angry wasps.
Kravash's eyes flashed.
He grinned.
Then...
He disappeared!
Adam's pupils shrank.
'What—?'
A shadow lood behind him.
Kravash reappeared.
His blade was already swinging.
Adam barely had ti to turn.
CRASH!
A shockwave tore through the battlefield.
Adam was sent flying.
His body smashed into the ground, bouncing twice before sliding to a stop.
Blood dripped from his lips, his vision swimming.
Kravash stood above him, his blade resting against his shoulder.
His grin had never left.
"Challenger... fun!" he said.
Adam coughed, forcing himself up on trembling arms.
'I'm guessing that blink ability of his is an ability his [True Body] has... The fake Kravash I fought in my last life is nothing compared to this guy!'
His breathing steadied. The sharp, raw pain dulled slightly, just enough to move.
'It's ti to do that...'
Adam thought.
