[Fast Lightning] X 3Rina started the match again with her lightning bolts, Linri sidestepping easily thanks to his newfound [4x Extreme Agility]. Honestly, it felt extremely good. As he ran, the cold air in the room hit on his face. It was so comfortable!
After dodging, Linri dashed towards Rina, who used [Eletric Slide] to get away from him at [3x Superior Speed].
"On your left!" Linri said as he suddenly appeared right next to Rina and slashed at her with his claws!
The same tactic was not going to work on him anymore! He was much faster than her, almost as fast as Zero when he attacked the school! Unfortunately, he was still not used to his speed, so his attack missed, slas.h.i.+ng only a lock of Rina"s hair.
[Static Cling]
Rina used this opportunity to jump at the wall to get away from Linri. After his hair turned black and those weird animal ears appeared, he had suddenly become much faster. She needed to put distance between them!
"You think the same thing is going to work once again?" Linri mocked Rina. He took the same animalistic pose and then jumped at the wall!
[Electric Slide]
Rina dashed towards her left and Linri"s claws stabbed at the wall, but this was not over yet!
[Lozna"s Spear] X2
[Ice Manipulation]
Two delicate spears made of ice materialized in the air and shot towards Rina. She wanted to use [Electric Slide] again, but the residue ice on the wall suddenly came to life and trapped her ankles.
[Electromagnetic Barrier]
A barrier made of iron-sand covered Rina before the spears. .h.i.t her.
*Boom*
As a result of the spears and the barrier colliding, a giant explosion happened, ice and iron sand scattered all over the room. Through the smoke, Linri saw Rina thrown to the ground and rolling. Her arm had bent onto a weird shape.
[Control of Nerves and Muscle]
Linri jumped down from the wall. Rina"s body was covered in electricity as she got up in a weird way.
[Ice Manipulation]
Linri gathered every piece of ice scattered in the room and turned them into giant icicles. There was almost a hundred of them and every single one of them was aiming towards her.
"Give up, you can"t win," said Linri as he slowly walked towards her. He was afraid that, if he let this go on, he might accidentally kill her. The power-up was good and all, but it wasn"t without its drawback. He was slowly losing his rationality. It was like there was a beast inside of him trying to break out of its cage!
"No!" said Rina through her teeth.
Suddenly, every single hair on Linri"s body stood up. He felt like he was in grave danger! His eyes grew bigger and his pupils contracted. That was when he noticed Rina reaching out to her pocket.
"Oh, no you don"t!"
Linri teleported in front of Rina with his [4x Extreme Speed] and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her up into the air. She was struggling and her legs were kicking him. Linri thought how easy it would be to just clench his hand and rip her head apart from the body.
[Impact Bolt] X 4
-9
-9
-9
-9
All four of the lightning bolts. .h.i.t Linri right on his face. He didn"t even bother to dodge them. His face was disfigured and b.l.o.o.d.y. Rina could see his teeth, which were exposed thanks to the wounds. Then she saw a horrifying sight: he was healing right in front of her! How? Could she even damage this monster, let alone kill him?
*Drip*
Now that Linri"s sense of smell got better thanks to his transformation, he smelt something disgusting. He frowned and looked towards the ground and saw that Rina had peed herself. He was about to mock her for it, but then noticed that she had pa.s.sed out before he threw her to the ground like a ragdoll.
Wait, why did he do that? What if she died? Noticing his mistake, Linri immediately went to check up on her. Thankfully, she was still breathing. Linri applied some first aid by st.i.tching up the wounds with his ice manipulation. As for the parts he couldn"t st.i.tch, he just froze them, preventing blood loss.
"Hey, GM! I won now, right?" Linri shouted once again. If he told her the fight wasn"t over again, he was just going to destroy this place to bits! He was tired of playing her games. Also, thanks to his newfound transformation, he was feeling c.o.c.ky. As if he was the king of the world!
"Yes, then, as per your request, I will stop the bomb now. It was an exciting fight, you didn"t disappoint me," said the mysterious voice.
"Hold up a minute, who said that was my request? What I want is something else, so how about we have a face to face talk, Ms. Snow?"
*White Noise*
"You really want to blow up the school?" it seemed like even the owner of the mysterious voice was surprised about his nonchalance.
"Not really, it"s just that someone should have already taken care of that. Why don"t you check it yourself? If it"s really still active, of course my request is for you to stop it, but, if it is already deactivated, don"t you want to find out how I did it? Or how I know you were the one who organized this charade?" Linri said. He was goading her to admit she was the organizer. He knew that it was her because of the club, but he didn"t have any hard proof. If he can get her to admit it herself, why should he make things harder for himself?
*White Noise*
*Fwooosh*
A new door opened in the room before Linri gave a confident smile and dashed through it. He didn"t need to be that anxious, but he kinda noticed one single problem in his plans. In the description of his [Ex-Burst], there was no mention of how he can cancel the transformation. He had a.s.sumed it would have stopped all by itself once the fight was over, so he didn"t really worry about it. However, now that the fight was over for good, he still didn"t transform back to his human form. Because this [Ex-Burst] was different than the one he remembered, it might have different rules and he was not happy about it. As he rushed through the long corridor he could feel his sanity slowly seeping away. If he can not find a way to transform back soon, he might become a bloodthirsty animal forever! Aside from his mother Lyra, Snow might be the only person in the world who can help him! She was not called the genius of the millennia for nothing.
*Crash*
-36
As he was in his own world Linri had not noticed that the road had come to an end and he crashed into the metal door with [4x Extreme Speed]. Now there was a giant dent on the wall...
*Crack*
Linri fixed his broken neck in place and waited for the door to open...
"Are you going to open the door, or not?" he said impatiently.
"It"s stuck..." said Ms Snow helplessly.
"f.u.c.k it!" Linri stabbed his claws into the door and ripped it open, finding Ms. Snow sitting in front of a computer screen. Now that he looked around, with all the tubes and containers, this place felt like an experimentation lab.
Suddenly, Linri"s hair stood up all over his body... again. He was sure that this was because of his [5x Burst Instinct], but why now? Ms. Snow was obviously OP in the club thanks to the fact that Luxor could pull out a new type of invention to deal with any situation.
However, she didn"t seem to be carrying anything. So why was it that he was feeling so scared right now? Even the bloodthirst he was feeling just now calmed and every fibre of his being was telling him to run away.
Did he possibly make a mistake by coming here? I mean, it definitely can"t be that. Without any inventions to protect her, Ms. Snow was just a helpless human waiting for slaughter. He should be able to kill her with a single flick of his hand, right? Then can someone please explain why did she start to look scarier and scarier by the second?
"Why did yo-"
Ms. Snow was about to start talking. Since the young man in front of her was able to disrupt her plans, she was interested in him. It was the same throughout this week. He always did something ridiculous, so she was guessing he might know something. Maybe she had made some sort of mistake in her plan and that exposed her. He also seemed extremely strong. From the data she gathered just now, his attributes was only a single level lower than Zero"s. Of course, that single level was a big gap considering how the attributes doubled in strength with each level, but, disregarding some freaks of nature like Zave or Richard, he should be able to take on anyone in the school... except for herself that is.
"Please don"t hurt me!" Before she could even finish her sentence Linri jumped towards the corner of the room and crouched down, taking a genin position. He was visibly shaking and seemed to be afraid of her.
