[The Greater Boar Leader (Lightning Attribute) has been stunned. It will not attack for 5 seconds!]
The moment this message displayed, Renard felt a weight lift from his chest slightly. 'I have a chance, I must attack it while it can't attack me. I hope 'Almighty Power' is activated every time I attack.' Renard became a different person at this moment. He didn't have time for jokes. He knew he had to kill this boar or he would die.
Everything else wasn't important. He focused directly on the boar, as if everything was in slow motion he twisted in a way that allowed the blade to flow back towards the boar. Renard had entered a state that allowed him to have perfect control over his body. He knew where all his body parts were and how he had to move them to strike the target with maximum force. In this strange state, Renard could see through any enemy completely, making him able to sense the weak points on them.
Although Renard seemed like he had lost out when he transmigrated to this new world, he actually hadn't. Unknown to him currently, was that his potential was quite literally, unlimited.
Everything has its limits, even those who were at the highest stage of cultivation has this limit. They were at the highest stage possible but their potential was still limited to that stage. This is because nothing existed above it. This is true for any skill at they have a limit.
However, unlike them Renard's potential in all areas was unlimited. Meaning he could go beyond what was considered the peak and force the entirety of existence to change. Due to his unlimited potential he had the ability to surpass his current strengths and enter a state that was far beyond his current power. That was the state he was currently in, his body control, battle techniques and observational skills far surpassed those of the enemy, which caused him to seem far superior faced with the boar.
[You have hit a weak point, damage is doubled! You have caused a critical hit, damage is doubled!]
['Almighty Power' has been activated dealing the maximum amount of damage. You have dealt the Greater Boar Leader (Lightning Attribute) 60 damage! 25 Health Remaining!]
Unfortunately for Renard, he didn't have control over this state. Immediately after striking, he lost his advantage and his skills dropped back down to their ordinary levels. However, by experiencing those higher levels, he gained an insight into them, increasing his current ability marginally.
The only skill that was left behind was Renard's focus. That skill already belonged to him, when he truly focused on something, nothing could take him away from it.
Normally, such a notification would shock him, in this instance, he only acknowledged it. Losing his higher levelled battle techniques meant he could no longer link his attacks like before, this just meant there was a slight delay in his attacks. However, he also lost the ability to sense weak points.
He had never tried to attack anything with a dagger before. Yet he was quickly feeling accustomed to it. The longer he wielded it, the easier it was to control, and the more power he felt like he could exert without the aid of the system.
Most people would find it easy to use a regular dagger over time. However, it normally took a few hours of practice. Renard had only been using it for a few seconds. This was the power of unlimited potential.
Renard being cautious of his time thought of how long he had left of stun time. He was given a prompt response.
[3 seconds remaining!]
Renard estimated his chances of winning. He knew that if he attacked as quickly as he could, there was a chance that the timer would end, before he got the second attack in that was required to kill it. This also meant that the boar may have a chance to damage him. Currently, he couldn't think of a better way to kill it nor did he have time to. He slashed out once again.
['Almighty Power' has been activated dealing the maximum amount of damage. You have dealt the Greater Boar Leader (Lightning Attribute) 15 damage! 10 Health Remaining!]
This time, Renard had aimed directly at its eyes in an attempt to block its vision. This was somewhat effective and destroyed its right eye. He hoped that it had been enough to disorient the enemy causing it to miss if it attacked.
As Renard's attack was coming to an end, the stun was also about to end. Renard had one second to get his attack on the boar. He decided to go for a stab attack instead of slashing like he had been doing previously.
He started to twist he body, thrusting his arms towards the boar. Both hands were gripped onto the dagger. He once again aimed for the boar's eyes. If the boar lived he knew that he would have a better chance of survival if both its eyes were destroyed.
Renard was focused on the boar's intact eye. He noticed that the haze that had once been in them had dissipated. This spelled trouble, Renard had already started his lunge, he couldn't stop now. He had to hope that the boar couldn't react to his attack.
Renard's hopes were partly answered. He was lucky, the boar couldn't dodge. However, this didn't mean it hadn't been able to attack. Just before Renard's attack pierced its eye, the boar summoned its special attack. A status attack.
The boar was a lightning attribute. This meant is was endowed with an affinity to lightning. As the boar grew stronger it would enhance and unlock more powerful lightning based skills. The current skill that Renard was facing was called 'Paralysis'. This skill could cause the enemy to freeze completely still, with no chance at retaliation.
The fate of this battle would be decided by what attack hit first.
Renard's dagger started to pierce the boar's eye goo oozed out. However, Renard was also hit by 'Paralysis' before he could even fully finish his attack. Suddenly, a notification appeared.
[You have been affected by 'Paralysis' you have been frozen!]
['Almighty Power' has activated and cancelled out this skill!]
['Paralysis' doesn't work!]
Renard's attack was complete.
[Congratulations! You have defeated the level 6 hidden leader-boss "Greater Boar Leader (Lightning Attribute)". You have gained 65 XP!]
[Would you like to put the corpse in your inventory?]
Renard was released from his focuses state, allowing his arrogant self to return. He heaved a breath. "Haaaaah, I really am powerful. What can kill me now? Nothing, now that I have 'Almighty Power'. Time to kill some more boars!"
