Chapter 37: Intense Battle!

I pant, I am a bit tired.
The aura that the Rat Gorilla is exuding is affecting me negatively.
Although if it weren"t for Fear Resistance, I would already be on my knees.
I check my Status.

…
My Vitality took a nice hit from his first attack, but I am slowly recovering.
My Mana is at a good number, I can surely conjure bigger spells more times now.
Is it possible to beat this with pure wind?
Wind…
My greatest foe…
Now, you are my greatest weapon!
This guy has the cheat of being immune to ice.
But I am no ordinary Ice Dragon, I know how to control winds!
Can an Ice Dragon even use Wind? I guess I am really cheating the game here.
After my initial wind attack, the Rat Gorilla quickly stands up as he glares at me with his sharp crimson eyes.
This guy means serious business.
He"s for my head, and I am about to stop and kill him first.
And that"s all there"s to it.
In the wild, there are no stupid monologues or conversations between enemies.
We are just two beasts who are trying to kill each other.
"GRROOOOOOOAAARR!"
The Rat-Gorilla roars as I brace myself.
I quickly conjure more winds around my body, as he pounces directly towards me with enormous strength and speed!
CLASH!
The ground and snow below his feet explode into the air, a millisecond after, he appears right before me with his enormous fists covered in icy winds to enhance his speed.
Winds!
FLASH!
I quickly use the winds to enhance my swiftness, speed, and evasiveness, and I manage to jump away just in time, as his fists. .h.i.t the ground, creating tremors that shake our surroundings!
Boom! Boom!
I swallow saliva, this is getting serious.
If this guy hits me a couple more times, I am dead.
He can blow me into pieces in four hits, I think.
Those enormous and muscular fits… and those legs are deadly weapons on their own.
Even if he doesn"t have scales or claws, his muscles are as heavy as iron, and his skin is as tough as my scales.
And above all, while being a giant tank, he"s also incredibly fast.
And more than that, he"s enhancing himself with his Berserk Mode, so all of his physical prowess is being enhanced even more.
However, this is my chance!
STORM!
I gather the winds I was combining around me, as I concentrate them right in front of my sight.
I put all of my will and imagination into it, as a spiraling gust of green winds quickly catches the Rat-Gorilla while he punched the ground after I evaded!
He glares at me as he is not capable of evading the incredibly speedy wings, which are way faster than his own body.
BOOOM!
"GROOOOOAARRR!"
He takes the hit head-on as I see his HP lower down by another 100 points.
But… there"s something wrong with this guy.
He"s not being thrown away anymore by the winds, he"s… pushing through them, charging towards me!
What?!
What kind of monster is this guy?!
The winds keep slicing through his muscles as he rushes towards me with enormous anger, roaring furiously!
I try to evade but he somehow manages to catch my front leg.
And his enormous hands crush it as if it were a mere branch.
A chill rushes through my spine as the sharp, excruciating pain of my bones being shattered into dust by his crushing grasp goes through my mind.
f.u.c.k!
It hurts like f.u.c.king h.e.l.l.
But the pain is not affecting my mind as much now, I still feel it as horribly as ever, but Pain Resistance seems to give me the ability to not care about the pain, making my mind as cold as ever.
A decision comes to my mind, as I see that he is about to punch my head with his other fist without letting go of my leg.
Okay then, take my leg.
I slash my leg off with my other front paw, as I use the winds to jump away.
Pain as horrible as cutting your limb off rushes once more through my entire body.
A river of red blood comes out of my wound, but I quickly put ice over it and the hemorrhage stops.
I would have most likely died if he were to hit me with that fist right into my head.
The Rat-Gorilla roars in anger as he missed this golden opportunity, throwing my leg away instead of eating it as the ice bear would do, I guess he"s not interested in eating, he just wants to slaughter me.
But at the moment I ran away, I had already begun to gather more winds.
His HP is still over 500.
Each of my Wind attacks deals around 100-120 Damage.
I have to hit him five more times.
Each wind attack costs 60 MP, my MP left is 370.
I have enough to shot 6 more attacks… I can do this.
I can win.
I grit my teeth as my eyes glow eerily.
You can take as many limbs as you want, I will take away your life in exchange!
"GRROOOAR!"
It roars once more but I smile internally (because Ice Dragons can"t smile).
STORM!
I release another storm of spiraling slicing winds, the beast takes it head-on and it quickly loses its balance, falling over the ground!
He slowly tries to stand up as he gathers mana around his limbs, and his legs begin to bulge while taking into the wind… he"s preparing to jump?
But it"s too late, as I throw another wind attack!
I got you-
A second after, he emerges at my side and gives me an uppercut.
What?
How did he do that?!
BOOOOM!
