Chapter 34 - Ethereal Life, Chapter 34: Chemical Reaction, Nai's First Battle

Smoke that looked like the result of an acid meeting something chemically melting emits out from the wriggling black substance.

"..." 

It was as though the monsters around him that looked like a noodle man, a five hundred-pound man, a nightcrawler man, and all kinds of horror figures suddenly shook in response to this scene.

They were shaking; it was very eerie to see. However, Nai felt empty; nothing fazed him anymore.

The feeling of chopping and slicing through flesh seems to give him much more impact, which induces laughter instead of guilt.

"They aren't them anymore. They're just a shell." He didn't know if it was their ability to copy appearances or if this was the real Agah Village villager.

If it's the latter, then he might kill that wife to be send to him. Wait, is his future wife even present?

"Erm... Hello? Can you talk?" Waiting for a while, Nai shrugged his shoulders as he readied himself.

The black substance has long since turned into a pile of ashes and smoke.

Swish ~ 

Here it comes.

Bang! 

Bam! Bam! Bam!

What he had done seemed like a cue. Almost all the bizarre people around him came dashing towards him with their unique, strange movement.

The ground shook with every step those boomers took on land. And it's even running towards him, like it wants to flatten him up into meat paste.

Do you explode?

Naturally, he can't fight them head-on.

Ugh! 

His vision blurred for a bit as a terrifying force lifted him off the ground before hitting the walls fifteen meters away.

Spurt~ 

Nai felt like his internal organs were shaken up; a few of his bones seemed to have cracked.

Blood dripped down his nose and mouth as he slowly stood up, unhurriedly. "I actually failed to notice you."

He didn't seems to notice how deadly that attack was for him to still stood up.

Nai felt that breathing had become more difficult right now. His lungs seem to be having some difficulty absorbing the shock just now.

Looking at one of the bizarre people that have his hands move like rubber flexibly He said, "Argar, since when did you escape from my senses?"

Wiping the blood from his mouth and nose, Nai calmed his breathing down and drank some miracle water from the bag.

He drank them all after seeing the hole in the bag, not wasting a single drop.

"Hah~" Hm?

Nai ducked to the side and immediately ran above the walls.

Bang! The part of the wall he landed on immediately caved in from the mountain like a fleshly person.

"You can't hit me!" Hehehe."  Running around the walls, he observed them for a while.

The bizarre people naturally chase after him creepily. And all of them are fast.

Almost catching up to him. "There are a total of fifteen; I took one out, so that remains fourteen."

"To take them down, he would need to kill them one by one."

But how will he do that?

The answer he got was the one he was looking for right now. "The pond's water."

As long as he can spray them with water, he can take them down.

He immediately jumped down outside the walls, and those bizarre people immediately chased after him, but then they noticed he had disappeared.

Idiot, hahahahaha.

Nai laughed in his heart; he made use of the watchtower to hide his figure which has jump back inside the inner walls and run towards the pond.

He found the empty jar near the garden and brought it with him.

When he reached the walls around the pond, those bizarre people had already noticed him and sped up towards him.

"I'll make this quick." He jumped to the pond and immediately filled the jar with water.

A few seconds later.

Bang!

The walls encasing the pond were destroyed by an arm that looked like the trunk of an old tree. Veins pulsed out like worms wriggling inside them.

Splash!

It was at that moment that Nai splashed the miracle water on the creepy face, even before the dust receded.

The fog around the pond was much fainter; it seems the water can also act as a natural repellent.

With a flip, Nai immediately dashed out of the pond and kicked the face that was just about to climb on the wall to find him.

Boom!

His spear slashed downward while in midair and beheaded the thin-looking stick like a bizarre person.

Just as he beheaded the bizarre monster, he threw down the jar half filled with pond water on it.

Not letting the black substance come out of its head away.

Smoke came out, and screams that only the mind can hear rang in his heart. Nai looked at his broken spear as he sped away.

"The thinner, the tougher?" It was as though that thin stick bizarre person just now have concentrated all of its hardness into its bone-like structure.

Did they even has bones? I saw none.

After landing on the ground, he immediately ran to the walls and started running on top of them.

When he looked back at the pond, he saw that the bulky figure was unharmed. "I see."

Nai immediately understood: "It seems that they aren't vulnerable to the pond water as long as those black substances in their bodies aren't exposed to it."

Now he knew what to do. "I can't take you all at once, but I can at least ambush you all one by one."

He dripped the remaining pond water in the jar on his axe before he threw the jar to the side and back to the garden.

"Hahahaha, this is fun. Like a marathon in a foggy ruin." Suddenly, a cold, piercing feeling numbed his shoulder area. Nai immediately dashed sideways.

Swoosh~

A long, pointy tongue flew past him. At the same time, he saw a figure not far away standing in the fog blurrily.

"Hehehe, I didn't see you because of the fog just now, but since you already showed yourself, don't mind me if I take this tongue out!" Slash!

The sound of air ripping rang through the ground as the axe in his hand cut through the tongue until he threw it with his might.

Like how one would split a straw, the bizarre person's tongue was split into two before the axe flew and beheaded its head in half.

"Bullseye." crack when the monster falls down. Thick smoke flew out of its holes.

"As expected, there's no need to waste too much miracle water on it. The watered axe is enough!" Passing through the smoke, he dashed down as he saw a cart not far away at the walls.

There are axes and spears around it. As well as stone knives. "Hehehe." 

Taking the weapons with him, he immediately jumped back to the inner wall and dashed through the pond.

After running for so long and doing those high-intensity movements he hadn't done in the past and can only be seen in movies and anime,

"I didn't feel tired at all." As time goes by, I'm feeling more energized. What a strange world...or maybe me?" He jumped into the pond and made a splash.

Blood spread out, and Nai was still wet. Continue running. A body pierced by a spear floated above the pond, slowly turning into smoke as it began melting from its injuries.

"Hiding under the pond? You thought I didn't see? Your so clear for me! It looks like you all have intelligence too, albeit small." Nai sneered. 

He stopped running; instead, he started throwing stone knives into the miracle water.

His guest was more accurate than he had thought. When the flying knife pierces through the bizarre people's 

It was as though they met their nemesis, and they stopped running around; instead, they were crawling in the ground, letting out screams only the mind can hear.

Smoke came out of the places they were pierced. After some time, once they pluck out the stone knives, They still can't stop the smoke coming out of their bodies.

Soon, they deflated like balloons. Leaving only skins that looked grotesque. However, even that was not spared and turned into a blaze that turned it into ashes.

However, some knives didn't hit the targets. Some of them were agile enough to dodge it.

However, those were to be expected. Nai even felt the fogs were instead eyes that were constantly looking at him.

Hong`— 

Suddenly, an impending danger surged out of his heart. Making him kick the ground and somersault five meters away.

Bang! 

A long hand that looked like rubber whipped hit the ground and made a dent that was ten centimeters deep around it.

"Ah ya! That was a surprise. You always took me by surprise with that kind of attack. As expected of such a personality, even your ambushes were almost unnoticeable."

This is the first time he felt some surprises during this long battle he had.

This Argar fellow seems to have suddenly appeared around him and taken him by surprise.

He can't let this fellow out of his sight anymore. Or he might not be lucky next time.

"Just good enough. I'll take you on right now!" Nai immediately dashed sideways and started throwing spears and axes.

His muscles bulged with strength with every throw.

All it took was less than a second for his axes to reach almost the speed of sound and touch the sound barrier.

Woosh!
