Boom with a loud noise i used my Ki(Energy Blast)With Ignite Rune, The Body of Young Kobolds Lay Scattered at My feet i can see it, The blood Pool around their Lifeless Half Burnet Body, I stared at the mess, But I am still Confused its my first time that i have killed something Even though they are monster, But still its my first time, but my heart wasn't racing. My mind wasn't screaming at me like i thought it should, Smell of blood and burnet Body is around me, I should have felt disgusted, But I can't feel anything, Why i am not afraid? is still i don't know.
Before i could think any further, a deep growl echoed from the shadows. i looked up, and from the dark a much larger kobold lumbered towards me. This one wasn't like the others. it was bigger- Easily twice my size. It was growling towards me , its eyes blazed with fury, and its claws were wrapped around a jagged spear coated in some kind of blue liquid i think its poison, One hit from that, i'd be done.
I focused my gaze, my mind sharpening. This kobold was stronger than me. Much Stronger, But i still Didn't Feel any fear.
"It Feels like two different soul in one body, I have emotions but this body is like it didn't have ,even i don't know how to describe it , i have my feelings from earth i want to make joke but my doesn't want"
I watched it carefully, analyzing how it held it weapon, how its stance shifted with each deliberate steps. This was no mindless creature- It knew how to fight.
I looked in his eyes, This is a real fight, Fight For Survival.
The Kobold let out a deafening roar and charged, its spear aimed straight for my chest . My Body reacted before i had time to think, i stepped into the strike narrowly avoiding the spearhead as it grazed my side. My body moved fluidly, following the first movement of Celestial body arts , As if I'd Rehearsed it a thousand times. My right Fist Shot forward, infused with Ki Energy from my vajrastava martial arts, and slammed into kobold's abdomen.
it stumbled back but recovered fast, growling louder, its anger only intensifying. I jumped back , my mind working quickly. This thing has brute strength , But it attacks were wild, lacking precision. If i let it close the distance , It'd Crush me, I have to Slow it down.
While Maintaining Distance I was preparing ignite rune with my Ki energy I am Using my Own mana Not mana From nature, Kobold Sense it that i am preparing Something dangerous , he attacked me i was using all six footwork of celestial body arts .
I raised my hands quickly began drawing the ignite rune in the air, mixing my ki with my own mana , because i don't have time to use surrounding mana from nature, i can feel it i am loosing mana and concentrating it in one place with my Ki energy. The rune flared to life, glowing faintly, with a sharp breath, i thrust my hands forward, sending a wave of Blue and yellow light towards the kobolds. The Ki blast merge with ignite hit its body, Scorching its flesh, but it wasn't enough to stop it . It roared through the pian , swinging its spear Wildly. i ducked just in time , feeling the wind form from the swing brush the top of my head.
This thing wasn't slowing down. even when i hit him with my Ki energy and Ignite Rune, MY fire Power only made it angrier.
I stepped back, giving myself a brief moment to breathe, I couldn't let this drag one Because i am loosing to much mana , I began drawing two runes- Ignite And Strengthen At a same time focusing all my concentration. I start loosing mana but i don't care about it now, I can Sense the Burning Sensation of Strengthen Ignite It start glowing in red color i need 40 seconds to complete it , Kobold again sense it and it charged again, it spear raised high, ready to strike, I dodge it and and jumped to left , almost there , i can feel it the rage of kobold and that burning sensation, as if everything is slow, and my attack is complete it was much faster then i thought, Because it took 27 seconds to complete this attack , i don't know why maybe because of pressure of fight, I don't know because i i didn't feel anything not even a shred of pressure can be seen in my face , But i did it faster then i thought i don't know how.
"But it feels Like Naruto Preparing For Rasengan Lol"
I stopped dodging now and looked at kobold's eyes , It full of blood lust, The Kobold charged again With his spear , I can feel it, He aimed at my head, But this time i didn't dodge, i Stepped forward, meeting it head on, I ducked beneath the spear and drove my fist into its side, unleashing the power of my Ki Combined with ignite And Strengthen Rune, A violent explosion of A blue and red Ki erupted from the impact, sending the kobold back, i can here the screaming voice of kobold as flames engulfed its body.
but i wasn't done. My key surged through me, strengthened by rune power. i could feel energy amplifying every muscle, every strike, My hands are heavy its first time i used strengthen Rune in my Hand, I can feel the pain but i endure it, That's the real use of rune, i only used it on my hand not whole body because my body is not strong enough, i Stepped Forward again, cold, calculated, and brought my fist crashing down on the kobolds neck. There was a sickening crack as the dog like creature collapsed to the ground, its body twitching for a brief moment before it went still.
I stood over the corpse, My Chest is heaving, my hand still warm from the flames and its hurting like hell. I looked down at dead kobold. it was bigger, stronger, deadlier, then me. And yet i had killed it. bur as i stared at the lifeless body. I felt.... Nothing , No sense of victory, No relief. No guilt.
Why don't i feel anything?
I muttered the question to myself, looking at my hands, now smeared with blood, A memory Flickered in my mind - of earth i was afraid if death, afraid of killing , even in games. But here, There was no fear, No disgust, i looked at those corpse and i pick some loot from them 1st i picked a dagger that a young kobold was using and i also picked the shield and spear , Shield is made up of heavy iron and spear tip of spear is made up of iron but was way to big for me to use so i break the pear from bottom so i can use it for my own, Now at least i have some weapons coated with poison , As i walked away from the corpse to riverside , i can feel the lack of mana as i constantly used my mana not Nature surrounding mana as i planned before, in need more training one fight have exhausted me forced me to use 60% if my mana but i don't care about that.
As i walked away from the corpse, my thoughts lingered. What did i gain from this fight, Experience, sure, But the real lesson wasn't in the battel. It was in the understanding that my lack of fear, my cold detachment....that was something far more unsettling than any creature i could face.
i was close to riverside i could smell the pure scent of water, When I was at the shore of River My sense are sharp and then i looked ut the beauty of nature , sunlight reflecting from crystal clear and Greenery everywhere, if i was a poet I must have written multiple lines in beauty of Nature.
But I know the Most beautiful things always hold most danger.
