Chapter 40 - A Small Problem! (3)

We both stood for a few seconds, as if we had agreed this in advance

I take this temporary truce to open my Status and look at how much Health I loosed

6.008 / 12.788

Seeing that I lost more than half of my Health I am momentarily shocked

However, I quickly recover and start to go down what should I do

'Wow this is more than I expected! Anyway! This is the perfect opportunity for me to test my new Skill!'

Having descended, I look at the monster, and see that it is still busy looking at its own body

Seeing this, I don't hesitate anymore, and say

"!"

The moment I say that, I feel an energy start to move inside me

That energy quickly spreads throughout my body, and I start to feel a strange sensation

It is a very good feeling, however different from when I activate that I feel my body warm up

This time I feel, my body getting colder, it's a very refreshing sensation

At the same time that this happens, I realize that I realize that my Health points are slowly recovering

During the next few seconds, I keep silent observing trying to find out how much life I recover

6.123 / 12.788

"Well, after ten seconds my Health increased by a little over 115 points! Therefore, I recover approximately 690 Health points every minute! That means I will need approximately 10 minutes to recover all the Health points I lost!"

0.866 / 1.860

"Hmm, I don't know what the mana recovery rate is. So I will calculate, using only the amount of mana I have!

Hmm... I can still keep this Skill activated for about 30 minutes! Tsk! That's not a long time!

Sigh! Let's hope it's time enough to kill this guy!"

At this moment, I notice an abnormality

I notice that the floor is shaking slightly

Upon feeling this, I immediately shift my vision to the red monster

When I do that, I realize that he is running towards me again

"You sucker! I didn't know that the truce was already over! I didn't even have time to think of a plan! Well, it looks like I'm going to have to improvise!"

I quickly move away, having learned my lesson from the last attack

The monster changes direction and keeps running after me

"Damn it! Although we are still inside the forest, the trees are a long way from each other, so he can move around without any problem!"

During my run, I feel a chill in my spine

After feeling this, I don't hesitate for a second and quickly change the direction of my run

Right after that, I feel the ground shake and hear a big impact coming from where I was

BOOM!

Then I look back and realize that the monster has already started running towards me again

As I run from the monster, I try to come up with a plan to kill him

'This attack now, was definitely that Ability! Well, before coming up with a plan, to kill this guy…

I need first to find out, what is the cooldown of this Ability! Therefore, I think I'm going to play with this guy a little bit!

Huehuehue! The good thing about it is that when I discover the cooldown of his Ability

Probably all the Health points that I lost, should be completely recovered! Okay, let's do this!'

After deciding this, I start to kiting the big red monster

"Hey sucker, you missed! Well, I don't blame you! After all, it's not your fault that you were born with a brick instead of a brain!"

"ROOOAR!"

...

About ten minutes later, I'm still running and playing with the monster

However, I already have all the information that I need to make a good plan to kill him

'Okay, after ten minutes I'm finally sure of his Ability cooldown! The cooldown is only 90 seconds! Damn! That is very little for such an so OP Ability! I hope the developer's nerf this Ability in the next update! Anyway!

During these ten minutes, I also discovered other things besides the Ability cooldown!

The first is that this monster is not very smart! He does not make crazy plans to kill the target (The target is me)!

Instead he prefers to crush his target (the target is me) using brute force! This is very good for me because, thanks to his simple mentality, I can easily predict his movements!

The second thing I discovered is that as soon as the Ability cooldown ends, it immediately use it! That means, I don't have to worry about him using the Ability at an unexpected time!

The third thing that I discovered after some tests! Is that he doesn't have to jump to use this fucking Ability!

He just does it, because he probably finds it more convenient! This is quite annoying!

Because of that, I have to worry about the shock waves generated by his attacks!

Finally, the most important thing I discovered is something that is neither related to the monster!

Instead, it is related to ! As I monitored my Health recovery, I noticed that my Mana points were slowly increasing, even though Skill was still activated!

In other words, the 30 Mana the skill takes per minute to stay active, is less than how much I recover naturally!

Do you know what that means? Yeah, it means exactly what you're thinking! That's means, that I don't need to disable and I can keep using it forever! Huehuehue! Man, this Skill is almost a passive Skill now!'

I start to observe my surroundings while I think of a plan using the information I acquired

'You know, making plans was never my style! Usually when I play MMORPG's, I find it much more fun, rushing my enemies while shouting "Leeeeeroy Jenkins" until them ends up dying! However, in real life we only have one life!

That's why I can't afford to do that kind of thing anymore! So I need a plan to kill this guy! Hmm...'

After a few seconds, I smile and look at the monster

"I think it's time for me to fight back, you motherfucker!"

Then, I start to run in circles around the region

While I wait for the monster to use, his Ability again.

'Okay, first, I have to get rid of those annoying jumps!'

After a while, I feel my instinct warning and I quickly change direction and dodge the attack of the big monster

BOOM!

That's something that I've gotten used to after doing it several times

While watching the monster and waiting for my Health to recover

After recovering the balance that I lost with the impact of the attack, I start running in circles again

While in my head, I count down the cooldown of the Ability that the big red gorilla has

'90, 89, 88...'

I keep running for 80 seconds, and then quickly change the direction of my run, to a big tree

After a few seconds I arrive, then quickly put my back to the tree

Then, I lift my head to face the monster, and wait

When the monster, it's only six meters from me, the countdown ends

"2, 1, 0... Here comes!"

The monster jumps towards me, with the arms raised, ready to crush me

I ignore my instinct that warns me to dodge, and I continue to stand firmly as I watch the monster in the air.

In midair, the gorilla looks into my eyes with contempt, as he licks his lips, as if he can already taste of my flesh on his mouth.

I ignore this and remain, while I look blankly at the monster.

When the big monster is less than two meters from me, I finally react

I smile broadly and while I look at the monster that still falls towards me, I say

""

While I hear a beep from Elizabeth's notification, I throw myself to the right and roll over, thus dodging the impact

[Success!]

Still in the air the big gorilla freezes, thus not being able to avoid the obstacle in front of him

With that, he hits the head of the big tree very hard

BOOM!

The gorilla takes a few steps back, stands whit hind legs, and tries to intimidate me with its size

While, he trying to recover from the impact

'Tsk! I was not lucky and it was not at first! Maybe, the status of luck, really affects my reality! Nah! It must be just coincidence!

Anyway! As it didn't work on the first try! That's just mean... that I just need to keep trying until it works!'

I stand still while I count in my head and wait for the monster to start chasing me again

After a while, the big gorilla finally recovers from the hitting tree and looks my way in anger, then starts chasing me again

I run in circles while I repeat the process, from a few seconds ago

...

Almost fifteen minutes later, something different happens in the eighth repetition

After hitting the tree, the monster tries to get up and away from the tree, as he did every other time, but this time he can't

Because, one of his horns, was stuck in the tree, during the collision.

Realizing this, the monster raises, its arms and uses them to push the ground, with force, trying to detach itself from the tree.

After a few moments, the monster is able to free itself.

He stands up happily, with a victorious expression, but freezes when looking at the tree.

He realizes that his horn, is still stuck in the tree, seeing this, the monster lets out a roar full of anger

"ROAARRRR!"

I watch it from a distance, and as I keep counting the cooldown, I celebrate internally

'YES! Finally! Damn it! That was taking too long! Well, now it's finally over- No, no, this isn't over yet! So, I need to calm down!

After all, if he doesn't take that horn off the tree, I won't be able to use it! And with that, I will not be able to continue with my current plan! If that happens, I will have to think of another one!'

After roaring, for a while the monster approaches the tree, stretches out its right arm

Then, grabs the horn that is stuck in the tree, and pulls it with all its strength

The tree starts to shake, and a few seconds later, the horn finally comes off.

Then the monster looks at the horn in its hand, holds it tight, and look with his angry eyes, to me.

After a few seconds of rest, he starts running towards me, while holding the horn.

Seeing this I start to run in circles around the region, while I have a big smile on my face

'Huehuehue! I'm glad this is the last time I need to do this! I was already starting to get tired of running in circles!'

I keep running, and when the countdown ends

I quickly position myself again in front of a tree

Then, I use my skill when he is a few meters away from me

""

After that, I dodge the attack, while I hear the Elizabeth notification, along with the noise of the impact

[Success...]

BOOM!

After dodging, unlike other times, when I quickly move away from the monster

This time I do exactly the opposite, I run quickly towards the monster

On the way, I grab the horn that the monster had in his hand, but he threw away when he crashed into the tree.

Therefore, I start advance towards the monster's legs.

When I'm less than a meter from my goal, he gets up, turns his face towards me, and tries to punch me.

Seeing this, I quickly use my skill, and while the monster is still frozen, I roll between his legs.

While I'm still kneeling, I use my right hand to pierce the tendon of the monster's left leg, with the big horn.

Upon feeling this, the monster lets out a loud cry of pain

"ARGHHH!"

Hearing this cry, I rejoice in thoughts

'YES! With that, I disabled these annoying jumps!'

I try to get up and run away, while the monster is still busy roaring in pain

However, just at this moment, I feel my instinct tingling

So I stop, and quickly raise my arms to protect my head

Right after do that, I feel a big knock on my back and let out a muffled, cry of pain

BLOW!

"Arg...!"

While I hear the sound of my ribs breaking, and the Elizabeth's notifications

CRAACK!

[The host was wounded...]

[The system suggests is: Heal the wound with something...]

My body is flying by the blow, while I curse in thoughts

'Damn it! I let my guard down! In that last attack, I felt like my back was hit like a whip! I know what hit me!

It was the tail of this motherfucker!'
