Chapter 33 - Battle, c.o.c.katoo
Vincent looked at the enclosed s.p.a.ce that had nothing but a chair. His face was filled with boredom.
He thought that a high-level device like this would be magical.
"Please enter your name."
The gentle voice instruced. It felt like it was coming from everywhere.
"Vincent Amore."
"Checking now, please wait a moment..."
"Check complete, input correct, starting simulation battle."
"Please sit on the chair."
Vincent followed suit and sat on the chair.
As he sat on the chair, his vision went black.
When he could see again, he was at the Colosseum.
There were eight iron gates surrounding him, and behind the iron gates was a black hole.
Vincent frowned.
The Colosseum was built in the Middle Ages.
He did not expect Quinn to include it in the scene.
"Roar!"
The iron gate in front suddenly opened, and with a loud roar, a red monkey dashed out.
The monkey had a rooster-like crown on its head, and its tail was made up of a few long peac.o.c.k tails.
"Bird-tailed c.o.c.ks...o...b..Monkey!"
Vincent"s eyes widened.
Bird-tailed c.o.c.ks...o...b..Monkey, also known as the c.o.c.katoo, was a high-level monster with an extremely high IQ. It could use psionic weapons just like humans. It was one of the most difficult monsters to deal with amongst all other high-level monsters.
Outside the simulator, Chris was shocked when she saw the Colosseum.
As far as she knew, there was no such scene in the simulator.
When the c.o.c.katoo emerged, most of the people present had their mouths agape.
Beginner versus advanced?
This was too unreal!
Never heard of it!
Could it be that Quinn had a high score for Vincent"s combat ability?
Chris licked his lips again, his body trembling, and the desire to fight in his eyes burst out.
The sisters and Nabil had on worried faces.
The others were shocked.
Only William had a cruel smile on his face.
"Not good! There"s a problem!"
Chris"s expression changed drastically.
Although the simulator would not harm Vincent, such a problem meant that there was a bug in the device.
Who knows what problems might arise in the future?
If it was someone with strong mental endurance, it would be fine. However, if it was someone who had a slightly weaker mental endurance, it might leave a psychological scar.
This was the only way the device could cause harm to the students.
It was also the most difficult issue to treat.
Angelina heard that there was a problem with the simulated dueling device, and her face was filled with panic.
"Teacher Chris, please explain clearly! What"s the problem?"
"This scene doesn"t exist in the simulated dueling device. Moreover, the device had clearly set Vincent"s level by mistake."
Chris explained the situation to Angelina while taking out her phone to make a call.
"Oh my G.o.d! Look! Vincent won!"
Just as Chris dialed the number, she heard Hixton"s surprised voice.
"What? He won?"
Chris quickly looked up at the projection screen.
On the screen, Vincent was kneeling on one knee and was covered in blood. In front of him was a charred corpse that looked like charcoal.
One could tell that this was the corpse of the c.o.c.katoo.
"What"s going on?"
Chris opened her mouth in shock.
Six minutes ago, in the simulator.
Vincent looked at the c.o.c.katoo in front of him and clenched his fists.
Although it was the first time that he faced a high-level monster, Vincent was not afraid at all.
Firstly, it was because this was only a simulated battle and there was no real danger to his life. This allowed Vincent to have no worries at all.
The second was because he had the chance to fight against a high-level monster. Vincent could test out his strength and gains during this period of time.
To him, this was a good thing.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The c.o.c.katoo barked at Vincent a few times and rushed forward directly.
Vincent"s gaze was focused. He waved his hand and cast the h.e.l.lfire net. He wanted to wrap the net around the c.o.c.katoo.
However, the c.o.c.katoo was very agile. It dodged and at the same time grabbed a handful of soil and threw it at Vincent.
Vincent drew out his Black Battle Saber and slashed it open. He then followed up with the Collapsing Mountain Strike.
The c.o.c.katoo did not expect Vincent to react so fast.
The Collapsing Mountain Strike was so strong, it sent the c.o.c.katoo flying.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The c.o.c.katoo let out a blood-curdling scream. It crashed into the wall with a bang.
Vincent did not want it to escape. He jumped to reduce the distance between him and the c.o.c.katoo. Three h.e.l.lfire arrows were shot out.
The eyes of the c.o.c.katoo turned red. It was obvious that it was enraged.
"Roar!"
The c.o.c.katoo opened its mouth and roared. This sound was like the roar of a tiger and dragon. It was not something that a monkey could produce.
The roar was very loud. It was so loud that it formed sound waves and shattered the h.e.l.lfire arrows. Moreover, its momentum did not decrease.
Vincent was in the air. There was no way for him to dodge. He was. .h.i.t hard.
Not only was he sent flying, but his body seemed to have been cut open by a knife, with countless wounds appearing.
Fresh blood instantly stained his clothes.
His Black Battle Saber fell onto the ground, not too far away from the c.o.c.katoo.
The c.o.c.katoo jumped up and down beside the saber and grabbed it.
It mimicked Vincent and used a Collapsing Mountain Strike.
However, it was obvious that it was just a demonstration. Although his saber was being used, the power of the Collapsing Mountain Strike was not strong.
At the same time, Vincent felt the c.o.c.katoo"s sonic wave attack head-on. He had also used up all his old strength and had yet to regenerate new strength.
Although he tried to dodge it with all his strength, he did not dodge it completely.
He was sent flying once again and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he already had a plan in place. He had set up the seed of h.e.l.lfire.
He was just waiting for the c.o.c.katoo to come nearer before he detonated it.
A high-level monster was still a high-level monster after all. For Vincent, it was still too strong.
It was so strong that he did not even have time to react.
If he was not careful, he would end up being restrained everywhere.
"Flamethrower Combo!"
Vincent mobilized his power forcefully and launched a set of attacks at the c.o.c.katoo.
The c.o.c.katoo was shocked by the sudden appearance of flames and continued attacking.
Vincent did not a.s.sume that one attack would be enough to kill the c.o.c.katoo.
He was not even the slightest bit upset. Instead, he used the Flamethrower Combo again.
Vincent kept using the Flamethrower Combo, and the c.o.c.katoo kept dodging.
It panicked at first but became used to the attack.
The c.o.c.katoo was no longer afraid of Vincent"s Flamethrower Combo.
At the same time, Vincent revealed a victorious smile.
"It"s over."
Vincent said softly, "Explode!"
Boom!
The c.o.c.katoo was swallowed by the black flames beneath its feet and instantly turned into charcoal.
It turned out that the reason why Vincent spent so much energy on the Flamethrower Combo was to force the c.o.c.katoo to move.
However, due to the excessive consumption of his power, although the h.e.l.lfire seed was detonated, it was not able to burn the c.o.c.katoo to ashes.
Fortunately, h.e.l.lfire was very strong. Although it only burned the c.o.c.katoo for an instant, it still killed it.
If it was not killed, Vincent would have been killed instead although it would not be for real.
Just as Vincent thought the simulation was over, the other seven iron gates opened.
