"c.r.a.p, it can heal itself by absorbing blood!", he quickly a.s.sessed before darting forward. But the winged gorilla only flew back, easily evading Fell"s attack before disappearing in the distance.Fell"s nerves were tingling, and his anger spiked once more. He was sure about it; he would stop at nothing to take down the vicious gorilla. "The b.a.s.t.a.r.d always flees whenever I approach him. I don"t think I"ll manage to evade his senses… How can I take him down?!", he exclaimed while taking down his anger on a few cannon fodders from the beast wave.
But it didn"t do as he expected; it was even the contrary. Killing other beasts only made his anger grow, and the image of the daunting smile from the winged gorilla flashed in his mind. In front of an opponent that could fly, he could sadly only swallow the bitter pill and accept the truth.
"How the h.e.l.l am I going to stop his rampage?!", he thought with an unsightly expression on his face.
He then spent the next ten minutes following the winged gorilla everywhere on the battlefield. The screams from the dying MechSuit pilots turned into ghostly wails that began haunting Fell"s mind. Fell found himself incapable of defeating him and could only advise the MechSuit pilot he met on his pursuit to be wary of the winged gorilla.
His determination was washed out slowly with each minute that was drawn by the winged gorilla. One head after another began pilling up, and the gorilla"s kill count soon exceeded the two digits. A feeling of being incapable of stopping him arose in Fell"s heart, and if it wasn"t for his burning rage that was making him follow the beast in a relentless manner. He would have abandoned long ago.
"This time, I"ll get you. I definitely won"t fail to take you down.", he screamed in his thoughts before seeing another MechSuit fall on the soil. A desperate groan escaped from the black-haired youth"s throat, but he could only swallow his bitterness while gazing at the fleeing gorilla.
Sounds of laughter resounded in the sky, horrifying laughter that wasn"t anything a human throat could release. With every failed attempt, the gorilla turned more and more brazen. Before fleeing away from Fell, he would flash a taunting smile while sucking the blood out of his victims.
Thankfully, the pilots died inside of their MechSuits. If it hadn"t been the case, the state of their corpses would have left a deep image in the young cultivator"s memory. With each death, he resented himself and his own uselessness at being capable of stopping the creature. With each death, he would also go on rampage and murder hundreds of fierce beasts.
He had since long stopped counting the number of dying MechSuit pilots. His face, although grim, had turned emotionless with the many tentative. Only his eyes, and sword, were expressing the state of his heart through his lightning-fast killing sprees.
Then, at a moment where both of them didn"t expect it. One of the MechSuit pilots executed an action that the gorilla hadn"t expected. While nourishing itself on the living corpse, the brave man didn"t hesitate and executed an action that created an opening for the young cultivator.
The MechSuit"s armor turned red, and the temperature surrounding it rose in the blink of an eye. The engine roared, screamed one last time before a gargantuan explosion appeared in the sky. The shockwave reverberated, turning Fell"s vision and hearing useless. His sight blanked, and his heart wept the death of yet another of his allies. But he couldn"t afford to waste this opportunity, with eyes blinded by the sudden flash of light, he executed "Solary Dive" and darted forward in an explosive spring.
His blood perception served as his senses, and the large dot representing the gorilla"s blood essence turned bigger in his vision. The momentum of his body was translated to his sword in one swift motion, and with an abrupt rotation, he delivered an exceptionally swift hack.
A blood-curling scream reverberated in the battlefield. A black, night-like wing fell on the ground with a thud, and a minute sigh escaped from Fell"s lips before he sharply inhaled. He didn"t leave a single second open for the winged gorilla, and as the animal was groaning and screaming in pain, Fell reappeared in front of him, and a sharp flower bloomed on the torso of the beast.
Soldier"s Fortune pierced through the fur and flesh of the animal with ease, and a free and unfettered sensation washed Fell during the killing blow. All of the rage and killing intent that acc.u.mulated during the pursuit was released, turning into a driving force that turned Soldier"s Fortune into the deadliest of blades.
"Die!Die!Die!Die", groaned Fell after executing one last blow. Aimed at the neck of the beast, his blade cut through the flesh with ease as though it was a steaming hot knife on b.u.t.ter.
The lightning fast series of sword attacks, a mixture of beauty and savagery, turned the beast"s body into a tattered string of flesh. The head of the gorilla still showed a fresh expression. His daunting vicious smile had disappeared, overtaken by his last thoughts, fear, and pain.
A lengthy arrow of air escaped through Fell"s lips. His thought cleared, and the dark negative thoughts that had welled deep in his mind were expelled with the sigh. Killing the winged gorilla had left him a deep, lasting refreshing feeling, and seeing the expression on the dead beast left him a sense of morbid pleasure.
"The loss far out weight the gain achieved by killing him.", he thought while thinking about the many human life the gorilla had taken in the short minutes. He felt wasted and tired from the relentless pursuit, but he couldn"t stop as the battle was still ongoing everywhere around him.
"I"ll just need to kill them by hundreds to make their death"s worth it.", as soon as he took the decision, he dashed toward a group of monsters.
