"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, now who's laughing? You bastard" I sneered with a glint of madness and anger in my beautiful crimson eyes.
I had sliced my enemy's hand in two, which had now fallen to the ground, it didn't take long for the hand to disappear into the shadows, but I didn't care, if it can disrupt space itself and create darkness, why would I be surprised if it had a regeneration ability or something like that? And yes, I assumed he had a regeneration ability or something like that since he uses darkness as a travel source for his attacks, if he could do that with darkness, he can easily create a new hand for himself.
"We are much more similar than we look, that's certainly amusing" stated a creepy voice, it was the goblins now using the dim lighting of the place to hide and communicate with me.
But ... Who the fuck cares if he's hiding! I'll find him... Who the hell cares if he has regeneration!!!! It'll just be more fun to cut and cut until it dies of pain.
So, with a chilling glow of madness on my face, I pointed my Duranvil on the ground, channeling some mana from the environment, in this time I had improved in its control and besides being close to the most powerful monsters of this Test, the mana was denser, of better quality and quantity.
"Gale Rapier" I shouted and the next moment, an explosion would be born.
*BOOOOOM*
The same move I used against the ten goblins I encountered two days ago, but this time more powerful, much more, as the mana was much better and my strength was significantly greater.
Before I had compressed the force and shockwave in the form of a rapier, but now I let out all the force and shockwave of my force exerted together with the mana, thus creating an explosion that impacted below me, on the ground.
The explosion was such that it spread throughout the room, destroying the pillars, the stairs and I could see that even the King's throne cracked slightly. I was the epicenter of the explosion, in fact most of my upper clothing was destroyed and part of my pants.
But, I was still steady in my same position, I had pinned my rapier to the ground to hold my balance. I was much stronger than a normal person according to my teacher, so it was only natural that I could at least withstand such an explosion with a little help in balancing.
*Boom*
It took several seconds for the natural disaster created by me to stop, on second thought I had created an earthquake in the room, destroying everything in its path.
The black floor now had cracks and holes everywhere.
"HAHAHAHAHA, Now, NOW! Come, I swear I will make your murder a wonderful experience, at least for me" I laughed, I hadn't noticed but my expression was that of a deranged mad maniac and all words having to do with madness, that was me now, that was even scarier than the Abysmal Goblins.
My anger and pride burned from listening to his earlier mocking laughter, how can an insect laugh at me, how can such an inferior being give me two direct hits and not even get a scratch? This was a 1vs1 from the start, very different from what I have faced before on the island.
I didn't know where I saw this feeling of superiority coming from, but I couldn't throw it out because I felt that way myself.
"Come on, I did a whole earthquake for you, all for you, so you can stop your shyness of showing your ugly face in front of me" I said, now I had taken my gun off the ground, gripping it tightly in my left hand.
"Hmp, I must admit I didn't think you would do that or at least not so fast" commented a voice so that the next moment the presence of a giant shadow appeared in front of me, ten meters away from me specifically.
Not a word came out of my mouth when I heard that, I didn't even open it as I ran at full speed towards the shadow.
He didn't continue either, bringing out his long claws that looked like reaper's scythes, which now went towards me in an offensive way.
Seeing this, I moved my body a little, so that one of his claws cut deeply into my right shoulder, and instantly I moved my sword to make a deep cut in his chest which, as quickly as it appeared, disappeared, healing completely.
I didn't waste much time and moved to the right, the shadow followed me in a frenzy with a wide grin on its face, but I was too focused to bother. I took a small leap to throw a powerful kick at its face, because of the significant increase in strength from seeing and smelling more blood, my speed and power took it by surprise, making it unable to counterattack or defend itself from my attack.
The shadow flew away, even though it is very large, I realized that it was very light, with a powerful kick from me it flew dozens of meters away from my current location.
'Possibly it's someone who relies more on attack and stealth' I thought logically as I drew the blood from my shoulder and put it on my sword, thus my Duranvil was completely covered in my blood.
The Abyssal creature's attack I could have dodged or blocked it, but I let it attack me in a place where I wouldn't care, in this case my typically sacrificed right arm, with that I was able to significantly increase my strength and also put blood on my weapon.
The significance of covering my weapon in my blood? It is an abysmal creature, the only time I used my Physique and element I disintegrated Esmeralda's dagger which was very good in quality, besides if it has my same Physique it should be able to do that and I confirmed it when it received my initial attack with its claws.
At that moment Duranvil didn't disintegrate because he had my blood, this was said by the shadow, although I couldn't believe my enemy in any way, logic was in the position to believe him.
He doesn't have much need to lie to me, besides if he is from the Abyss he must have disintegrated my weapon quickly, so I chose to put my blood on my sword entirely. After all I don't have much to lose, in fact I already gained in gaining strength with my wound on my right shoulder.
This whole course of thoughts was circulating in my mind, even though I was in a state of unparalleled madness, I still had my calculating mind.
"Well, I begin the truth battle."
