Drop drop.
Blood was spilled from the pure elemental leader due to his arm being cut off.
He was enraged, but then, out of nowhere, his mood changed.
"So this is it, huh? haha, ahahahaha." He laughed as he stood there, bleeding.
"What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
As the principal and the guild master were talking to each other as they tried to heal their wounds, the pure elemental leader then continued to talk after he laughed.
"I was saving this for an emergency. I guess it's time to use it.
crunch. gulp"
All of a sudden, a crunching sound was heard from his mouth.
"What?"
"He has more?"
"That's not good."
"Well, since you guys have pushed me into a corner like this, I guess it's polite if I return the favor multiple fold."
Graaahhhrrrr
He roared loudly as his body changed. The once-cut arms regrow. and the body was then transformed into that of a monster.
"What is happening to him?" The guild master was shocked at what he saw and wasn't able to comprehend it.
"Who cares about that? Let's stop him first."
Not caring about the guidemaster's curiosity, the principal stood up as he said those words to him.
"Like you're in a condition to do that." The guild master then expressed his concerns, as he was also in the same situation as him.
"What else do you want me to do?"
"…guess I'll just help you."
Hearing his words, the guild master was stunned. After all, he too couldn't change his mind, for he also thought the same.
"Let us help."
"You guys."
As they were about to resolve themselves to fight, the group that was also with them showed up.
"I don't know what happened, but we got out."
"It might be because he is now focused on something else, mainly his body's transformation. That is why you guys were able to get out."
"I see, that makes sense."
"But I still think that you guys won't be much help."
Hearing that they remembered what had happened, they were not able to help; instead, they were a burden.
"Even so, even if it's a little, we still want to help."
They still didn't give up and tried to persuade the guild master.
and as he was about to stop them, Taria walked towards them and said.
"I think they would be useful."
"What are you saying? Do you want these guys to dive in and die?"
"No, my sister and I have the same ability, but we use it differently. With her help, we can defeat him."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." She then turned her head and beckoned to her sister. "Litia come here."
"Okay."
Walking towards her sister, the little girl, Litia arrived next to her.
"I want you to protect us from that guy's abilities." She pointed to the pure elementalist leader.
"I don't think I can do it."
"No, you can; you can do it; believe in me."
Hearing her encouragement, she still felt insecure. but she trusts her big sister.
"Okay."
"Good. Let's start right away."
They then all agreed to fight together.
~~~~~~~
The sudden boost from earlier was due to my use of acceleration and gravity impact. Combining those two, I became fast enough to break the sound barrier.
But still, I was only able to accomplish the feat of cutting off his arms due to my mind acceleration and the fact that he had been weakened during the extended fight against the three people.
But I never would have thought he had a hidden drug at his disposal.
And this made his body transform into something like a monster.
When that happened, one thought came to mind: Chimera. But still, it isn't entirely like that since instead of transforming certain parts of his body. What happened here is that his whole body changed into something entirely new.
And due to the side effects of using the combination of acceleration and gravity impact, my body is in a static phase where I can't move, and my bloodline ability is currently healing from it.
So now I can't stop his transformation, and even if I did, I don't think it would make a difference, and I guess they think the same.
"Bolt, can you use that move again?"
The guild master then came and talked to me. So I answered back.
"No, I can't; my body is currently facing the side effect, so I can't move yet for the time being."
"I see." Hearing that he grabbed me and put me in a faraway location.
"Help us out after the side effects subside."
"Okay."
Afterwards, he left and is now facing the now-transformed former leader, who is now a monster.
~~~~~~~~~
The transformation had finished, and what showed was a huge humanoid monster with vain blue skin and horns sprouting out of his joints.
"Did you wait long, pests?"
"""....""" Everyone is speechless at his transformation. but one thing is certain: he is stronger than before.
"Not answering? Then let's give you something to completely shut you off."
He then struck all of them using his time stopping ability.
clang clank clang
But instead of blood splattering out, they were only grazed a little.
"Child, is it your doing?p He turned and looked at the little girl, Litia as he said those words.
With a determined look, Litia just looked at him, showing that she was going to fight against him no matter what.
"So what if you have her protection? None of you can still beat me."
He clearly declared that he used magic and his bloodline ability to gain the upper hand against everyone.
Just like he said, everyone was still no match for him.
Although they were able to counter his time-stopping ability, they weren't able to do much against his mastery of ice, which got stronger during his evolution.
Preventing his time-stopping ability is crucial, but his mastery of ice magic is too much.
"You're right, and right now we can only fight him at a standstill with all of us together."
"But strangely, his transformation should have a limit, right?"
"Limit? Buhahaha, it doesn't have any limit; it's permanent, not like the Berserk potion earlier, which should have boosted my strength during the indigestion of both."
Hearing those words, they suddenly shuddered at the thought of fighting someone stronger than who they were fighting right now. If it weren't for Dustin, they would have definitely been defeated.
"Let's freeze this place, then the city, along with the people in it Ahahahahaha."
He maniacally laughed as he announced his plan to them.
"Bafuh!"
And then he was struck again.
"Tch, I missed the mouth."
Dustin holds his sword down after the successful surprise attack.
~~~~~~~~~~
As I was resting to heal my wounds, the battle below continued, and I felt helpless for not being able to help them.
"If only I could heal myself faster."
As I said that out loud, I suddenly remembered how my body reacted during my previous rank-up.
Any person can certainly use their cores to produce certain changes in the human body. and because of that, they would gain a strong physical boost.
And this also happens when one overcharges their spells, attacks or core functions.
So why not use that idea to affect my bloodline ability? I saw how the guy earlier controlled his bloodline ability.
And since my bloodline ability is passive, I thought I couldn't change its usage, but that changed during my rank-up.
So without further ado, I tried to manipulate my core to speed up my recovery.
As I moved my cores at a high pace, I also made sure that they were all in different respected categories to know which one was effective.
First, I tried the warrior core, and with it, my body is steadily healing and getting stronger.
But this is not what I want, so I change them into mage cores. There I feel the changes as my mana gradually purifies and recovers, along with the capacity increasing in a very miniscule increment.
Still, it isn't what I want, so I changed them again, and this time they were craftsman cores, and there I feel the changes around my body. My mind connected to all of my organs so that I could feel them.
"This? This is it."
What happened right now is that I can somehow manipulate my body, and not just that, but also my roots.
Although I didn't feel any changes like growth in certain areas, I can use this ability like a surgeon to easily manipulate my bloodline ability to heal certain parts of my body.
But there is a downside to this, which is that I need to focus and no one should disturb me.
unlike the previous core, which can be used in a passive way. This one needs the full use of my consciousness.
As I use it, I gradually change some parts of my body that had been damaged due to battle and replace them with new ones. although I can't touch important organs. I can affect some layers of my body to change and heal them.
"Buuuaaahhh Gohoh gohoh." I then coughed out blood and barfed out some contents that I had segregated from my body.
That was dangerous, and although successful, this can be said to be beginner's luck.
I need to master this ability quickly. If it weren't for my situation, I wouldn't have thought of it.
After the successful operation, my body was then able to move properly with the side effects gone.
"Now it's time to help them."
Charging my body with a higher voltage, I rushed out at the right time to confront the unexpecting monster.
'Oh,' he opened his mouth, let's slice right through it.
With that in mind, I swing my blade. but somehow he noticed me and moved a little.
Bafuh.
"Tch, I missed the mouth."
I felt disappointed with the missed opportunity.
