Chapter 26 - Why not turn up the heat?

He punched, his eyes widening as he was shocked at the results.

First, the hard body was now soft as tofu, it was as if he was punching a soft pillow! His fist went in with full force and a deep hollow the same size as his hand was formed. Red hot blood gushes out like water rushing out of a water pump. Even the bones could do nothing to stop the punch as the bones were broken into two fractions quickly making way for the passage of the fist, the strong bones of a mutated beast were now like a piece of broom for him!

~is this the power of Mana!?~

The Chicken cried out, its voice was hoarse and dry. the intestines and inside of the beast had now out in the open like a prized item for auctioning. Though the sight could be said to be ugly, gross, or whatever you may call it, to Leo...that was a sight of victory. With all this victory is within reach!... right now he couldn't believe that he was running away from this 'Weak' beast about six hours ago.

The other two bosses were shocked, now they knew why they had that bad premonition. This guy is stronger than them despite being an LVL lower than them, this is simply unbelievable! and shocking...They quickly made mental to unite in other to defeat him as this young man was quite a powerful foe to have. At normal times, they would have run away without having a second thought. But this is a death match and if they leave it without Leo dead, then they would have to be prepared to die for breaking the unspoken rule of the death match. They almost asked themselves if this was the same Leo that run away or another person as there is no way Leo could grow strong Quickly.

Long gone was the time they had confidence, as this time everything has been destroyed. They were still having this bad premonition that even if they fight him together and the same time, they would still have no chance. This was just so ridiculous.

Just how was this possible, being boss beasts, they are at the top of any beast at their LVL and are comparable to peak LVL 6 normal beasts that are not boss beasts. And with the combination of their Skills...wait!, their skills...it increases their Stats. Their eyes widened for a moment. Human is not letting them use it. The plan Leo was now revealed. They Quickly activated their skills.

Leo had planned from the start to intimidate them and make them fear him to the extent that they would forget about their abilities and skills why seeing him as the 'god of death' that can't be stopped. But it looks like his perfect plan had been cracked open like an egg.

Meanwhile, Leo looked at the HP of the punched beast, his eyes bulging like that of a toad at the information he got, He was just too shocked. Not only that he was also excited because of what he saw.

┏━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┓

MUTATED CHICKEN (RED)

(Collective Boss Chicken)

...

...

HP: 0/2820 (-2820)

CRITICAL STRIKE!

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

'Fuck!, How the heck did my attack power increase to such an extent that I could deplete all of its HP in an instant...is Mana that powerful!?' Leo was shocked to a crazy extent. He ignored the last desperate cry of the boss beast as it drifted off to the land of the dead, its body disintegrating into mysterious particles as it disappeared as if it was not even there in the first place. All the Chickens that were controlled by the dead boss Beast regained freedom but they were quickly taken over by the other two chickens.

'Even the System acknowledge this strike and called it a Critical one. If Mana is this powerful I am itching to know how powerful Qi would be, Which one would be stronger

Despite all his thoughts, Leo knew more than to stand still, he did not waste a single time and rushed to the other two boss beasts, the Mana on his toes propelling him forward. He wanted to quickly finish them before they activate their...Skills‽

'Fuck!'

Leo cursed, seeing that the two bosses have already activated their skills. He started thinking.

'Did they discover my plan, No! that's not possible I made sure to act cool and brutal right at the same time...or maybe My intimidation did not work'

Leo had thought everything through, after his first experience in this dungeon he made sure not to be careless as that might cost him his life, as these are not ordinary chickens but mutated chickens with their berserk skill and bag of life force. he is sure to die in an instant if they pecked on him.

INCOMING!!!!!!!!!

Leo quickly dodged a sneak attack from behind punching the Boss Chicken that dared to attack hi Lim, he punched fast and quickly faster than he could reach without Mana as Mana boosted his speed, Strength agility, and many other things making his speed even faster for the chicken to follow. He did so while ducking just in time as the beak of the other boss chicken flew over his head, it was such a close call! That attack quickly obliterated the other boss chicken living only one chicken for him to handle.

Leo heaved a sigh of relief, if he had been even a second late in obeying the loud warning of his instincts then he surely would be dead by now.

The Chicken was enraged as it watched the disappointed look on the face of its comrade, which it had killed by mistake. The berserk mode reduced its intelligence, so it was not able to stop itself just in time so that its comrade won't be dead.

What was angering it the most was the fact that its brother was Killed by its beak! So, Naturally, it turned to Leo it's anger kept increasing as it watched the smug plastered nicely on the boy's face...that even succeeded in angering it more. Its strength continued to increase simultaneously with its anger/rage...it had to vent all this anger on Leo no matter the cost.

Taken over the Chicken controlled by the second dead boss beast, The beast instead of being happy was very sad. After everything they had done for him, why does it has to be him that sees their death? Why‽

it could not just let the death of its comrades go to waste! This boy is too smart to use brute force as it looks like the boy knows about an attack almost before he gets struck, that was one good ability.

After thinking for a while, it suddenly has an idea.

Since brute force doesn't work, Why not try underhanded means?

If only it could smile right now, its current thought is equivalent to

'Let's turn up the heat!'

Am still waiting for my next review.

Guys, please help!
