Juri with his M60 in hand, filled Normandak the Giant Ice Prince's thick skin with hole!
Blue blood leaked out, all serving to further enrage the Giant Prince.
Soon Normandak did something, stomping fiercely on the ground that made everything around shake.
Then Juri noticed the surrounding snow rising.
"Hell!" - Juri already noticed something coming and jumped, soon an ice thorn came out from under her, hitting her and losing 1/3 of her HP!
Juri growled feeling intense pain through her body, if it wasn't for the [Player Body], she would have been impaled!
Normandak roared in fury that he didn't kill Juri, that bug!
But he managed to close distance!
"GET OUT OF HERE!" - Roared Juri pulling out another set of grenades and throwing everything in Normandak's direction.
Normandak advanced his fear throwing a lot of snow in front of him, the explosions came, he roared in anger but kept going.
BOOOMMM!!!!
ROAR!!!
But as he stepped out of the blast smoke and snow, a rocket hit his chest, finally causing him to feel substantial pain that shook him to the point where he fell sitting up!
Normandak spat out blood, his chest a deep, bloody hole with burn marks.
His breathing was a little labored, but soon he heard another sound, looking up he saw another rocket, which he used his hand to defend himself and the result was its shrill and painful roar that shook the surroundings.
Normandak found himself losing three of the five fingers on his left hand, an intense pain that only served to make him even angrier.
But he had no time for fury, for target came from above and looking up, Normandak only saw several grenades falling in his direction.
He could only stare, without much reaction, great indignation and frustration overwhelming his heart.
And then a rain of explosions covered his field of vision, followed by their tragic roars.
Normandak no longer felt such fury, but rather fear and frustration.
He was indignant that he would die like this, perishing by the dirty tricks of a damned human!
And what's worse, he didn't know how to deal with these tricks!
For the first time in his life, he hated being so big!
...
[Giant Prince, Normandak Gagatilus(BOSS) - Level 180, DEAD!]
[You have reached Level 106!]
[You have reached Level 107!]
[You have reached Level 108!]
[You have reached Level 109!]
[You have reached Level 110!]
...
[You've reached Level 115!]
Juri laughed, 10 Levels!
Juri was very happy, even more so since she had some epic items and even 2 Legendary Items in her Inventory!
She pulled out the Item that fell with Normandak's death:
[Hammer of the Giant Prince(Legendary/???) - Tier 2].
This is a Hammer that Normandak Gagatilus, The Giant Prince of Ice, dreamed of owning, he throughout his life collected resources to create this Hammer, but he knew it would take longer to have the resources to create his perfect weapon for his size! So in his death, he wished he had this hammer, maybe his fate would be different!
- Essence of Normandak Gagatilus, Level 180!
- +250% Water/Ice Elemental Damage!
- +200% Crushing Damage!
Abilities: [Icebending], [Ice Impalement], [Ice Blast] and [Prince's Roar]!
Juri looked at this, confused, and asked: Where are the Attributes?
[It's in the "Essence of Normandak Gagatilus, Level 180!"]
"Okay... and what does that mean?" - Juri asked rolling his eyes slightly.
[The "Essence" is something deep and difficult to explain in mortal terms, but simplifying everything, by connecting with the "Essence" of the weapon, you will receive the strength of its owner when he was alive!]
[But the strength acquired varies from the quality of the item, because it is "Legendary/???", once something or someone connects to the hammer, it will receive 2/3 of the Attributes, Passive Abilities and Racial Advantages of the owner of the essence!]
Juri at the beginning of the explanation was nodding, liking it quite a bit, at the end she widened her eyes, looking at the 6-foot hammer in her hand, which must easily weigh about 500 pounds!
Sure the hammer should be bigger, but the System made it smaller for her Player!
"Holy shit... isn't that pretty powerful?" - Juri asked.
[Yes! Items or Accessories with "Essence" of some living being is extremely rare, rarer than a Legendary Item!]
[But the big reason why the Player possesses this item, is not entirely by luck, but by the desire of the owner of the essence, as well as his ambition in the last moments of his life, the System just converged all that and his Luck performed the rest!]
Juri laughed and asked. - "Okay, how do I create such a connection?"
[On the top of the Hammer there is a hole, spill your blood and the connection will be made, but understand that after that, only you and no one else will be able to wield this hammer! In the hands of others, it will just be a huge and extremely heavy hammer!]
"Practically it is Thor's Mjölnir?" - Juri asks laughing.
[Technically, yes!]
"But do I have to be holding the hammer in hand to receive its benefits or after the connection, can I leave it in Inventory?" - Juri asks curiously.
[After the Connection, one needs to be in contact with the item to receive its benefits!]
Juri was disappointed hearing this, in the end, she doesn't use hammers, but it seems that if she wants to gain maybe about 1,200 Strength and Constitution, since it is 2/3 of the Attributes of its bearer and Juri doubts that Normandak doesn't have the maximum in those 2 Attributes.
But the focus is, Juri saw that she will have to sacrifice some things for this, but she can also make the connection and leave it to be a last minute item.
Juri was quite thoughtful, ignoring the chaos occurring in the city, but soon she sighed and said. - "You know what, fuck it!"
Juri even thought about leaving it in storage, it's going to find some subordinates or companion to use the hammer on, but what if she gets betrayed?
That at least will make available to her over 100 Levels of strength in attributes, not to mention the skill set Normandak possessed.
Juri then took a dagger and worked out a way to spill her blood on top of the hammer, where she soon felt something mystical occurring.
"You killed me!" - A cold voice sounded, Juri was surprised to notice a humanoid being next to her.
"What the fuck is that?" - Juri asks looking at the human-sized Normandak.
[The "Essence" carries part of its owner's will, you need to overcome it if you want to complete the connection!]
"Yeah, I killed you!" - Said Juri looking at Normandak.
Normandak looked out over the city, hearing the roars of his people, then said bitterly. - "I can't believe I died here...I just had to kill the princess and her guardian, but in the end...I died to you!"
"Don't be like that, just treat it as your bad luck that I ended up here!" - Said Juri laughing while mentally asking Sistema.
'System, can Normandak read my mind or feel my feelings?'
[No!]
Juri felt relieved and looked at Normandak. - "But I admit, you are a formidable enemy, lucky for me you weren't 100%, since you were down to about 1/10th of your Mana!"
Normandak sighed, then walked over to the hammer, touching it with a strange and tender look.
"The weapon I so desired, ironic that my death gave birth to it..." - A dry laugh came from his lips.
"That's life, a little box of surprises!" - Juri said relaxedly.
"Now you want my power, the one who killed me, very bold of you!" - Spoke Normandak in a serious and angry tone.
"How about we negotiate and not have a fight of the minds?" - Juri asks smiling.
"Not interested, I have nothing to negotiate, not to mention I either win and get sealed inside the weapon, or I get destroyed by you!" - Normandak says coldly.
"That part I didn't know...I thought there would be a way for you to become some kind of weapon-bound spirit that would keep annoying me wherever I go." - Said Juri a little relieved.
Normandak snorted, then advanced against Juri, who also advanced against him.
Juri and Normandak grabbed each other, then their foreheads collided and they both locked eyes!
What followed was a fight in Juri's mind, where there went his will against Normandak's, who as Prince of the Frost Giants, proved to be the bearer of a will firmer than steel!
But Juri died 2 times, has the Level 99 [Strong Will] Skill and the [Player's Mind].
From the beginning, Normandak was at a disadvantage!
When they entered the mind world, Normandak was in his giant 10-meter form, but Juri... Juri was over 50 meters tall and smiling at Normandak stunned.
"For a coward, you have a lot of strength!" - Normandak said laughing in desperation.
"I'm not a coward, I'm just not stupid enough to take on someone several times stronger than me in mano a mano, you who was dumb to chase me without planning anything and with little Mana!" - Juri said before he lifted a foot.
Normandak laughed, took a deep breath and closed his eyes!
Juri stepped on him!
