YM778.TV Chapter 174: The Chain Cyclops
Stark dodged with ease, his movements fluid and precise, his crimson aura burning brightly around him.
"ALL-SEEING EYE!" but the cyclops, even though its eye was bleeding, opened it as much as possible, allowing it to follow Stark\'s movements perfectly.
And so…
~FWISH~
"CHAIN WHIP," using the momentum, it turned its wrist, meaning that the chain came back to wrap itself around Stark.
"Crimson Spears," but the boy just summoned three spears while the cyclops was distracted and sent them at the eyeball.
\'…!\' the cyclops saw it coming, and it feared for its eye so it immediately half-abandoned was it was doing.
"STONE WALL!" it slammed its fist against the ground of the dungeon and a giant wall from the same material emerged from below, blocking all three spears.
"…" Stark shrugged, but he decided to use this opportunity to do something as the cyclops couldn\'t see him because of the giant wall, "Crimson Ball Transmission!"
He didn\'t use the skill much as he wasn\'t used to it, only using it three times against other monsters on the fourth sublevel, but it basically worked like this…
~FWISH~
A crimson ball the size of a tennis ball appeared in Stark\'s right hand, emitting a powerful aura.
[Throw the ball in the location you want to teleport at!]
He closed one of his eyes and focused…
Then…
~FWISH~
He threw it very far, aiming for a spot right behind the cyclops.
~BIM~
Stark\'s accuracy was terrible with this as he hadn\'t trained, so although the ball did end up hitting the floor behind the cyclops, it was very far from where he had aimed at.
As soon as it grazed the stone ground though…
[Target set!]
The ball didn\'t move or bounce at all though, staying stationary on the spot where it had landed, and a red circle formed around it, almost like a bullseye but with a weird pattern.
[Snap your fingers when you want to teleport!]
Now that his \'TP\' point was set, all Stark needed to do was snap his fingers and he would almost instantly be teleported.
~CRUMBLE~
The giant stone wall fell apart after a few seconds, and the unsuspecting cyclops stared down at Stark, getting ready to attack again.
"CHAIN WHIP!" the cyclops roared, ready to strike at Stark once more, but the boy was already prepared.
~FWISH~
The giant silver chain was sent toward Stark, ready to destroy him, but…
"DOMI-CHAIN!" Stark replied accordingly, also sending his very own crimson chain toward the cyclops\'.
The two chains clashed in a dazzling display of power, causing sparks to fly in every direction.
The cyclops\' massive strength was evident as it pushed against Stark\'s chain with all its might.
But… strength isn\'t everything =), is it not?
~BAM~
Stark\'s chain was indeed sent away, but it had also stopped the cyclops\' one too, and to add to that…
~FWISH, VIM~
It turned around by itself, and started wrapping around the cyclops\' chain like a snake.
"…!" the cyclops couldn\'t control its chain as much as before as it was slowly getting infected by the crimson aura of Stark\'s
\'Works on weapons…?\' Stark scratched his chin while squinting his eyes, it was interesting to know.
The cyclops was visibly trying to tame its chain and get Stark\'s out of the way, but it couldn\'t no matter what, even going as far as holding the edge of its weapon with its two sturdy hands and pulling.
\'AURA SMASH… MERGE!\' taking yet again advantage of that opportunity while the cyclops was busy getting rid of the chain; Stark began to concentrate his power on his right hand as he ran in the cyclops\' direction.
~SLAM~
The cyclops finally decided to use its brain, if it even exists, to hit the chain and destroy it as it only had 10000 HP.
"…!" then its giant pupil fell on Stark, noticing that the human was getting closer, so it immediately decided to attack again.
Are monsters just brain-dead robots with the sole orders they were given being \'VIOLENCE\'and \'KILL HUMANS\'? Who knows, but they sure do look like it!
"STEEL SMASH!" its free hand\'s color began to change, going from beige to silver-like, and it was obvious: it literally turned to steel, like actually.
~FWISH~
It aimed it down at the running Stark.
"INVINCIBLE DODGE," the hand was extremely big, so Stark was forced to roll away thanks to his invincibility frames. Discover worlds on m _v _lempy _r.
~BOOOOM, CRASHHH~
The sheer impact of the attack destroyed the area around the floor that had been hit, but it also resulted in the cyclops\' hand being stuck temporarily as it couldn\'t get it out.
"DUMBASS," Stark laughed as he turned around and used the cyclops\' own hand and arm to head toward its head.
"CYCLOPSIAN MIGHT!" the cyclops began to charge up its powers, the aura around it being more bright, and the pupil in its eye growing three times its normal size, then… "CHAIN WHIP!"
After taking control of its chain, it immediately sent it toward Stark while actively trying to get its steel hand out of the hole it had created.
~JUMP~
Stark avoided the attack by jumping, but…
"CHAIN WHIP, CHAIN WHIP, CHAIN WHIP!!!" thanks to the use of [Cyclopsian Might], the cyclops was able to continuously throw attacks at the human.
~FWISH, SLIDE, JUMP~
Stark would avoid them all though, getting closer to the giant eye, and then, when his [Aura Smash] was fully powered up…
"AURA SMASH… MERGE!" he punched the air in the direction of the giant eye, sending a giant crimson fist as big as it was toward it.
~FWISH~
The fist left a powerful crimson trail as it headed toward the cyclops, who could only watch in shock as the attack closed on it.
~BOOOOOOOM~
It hit its eye straight on, right in the middle, with not a single possibility to deny the fact it was a critical hit.
"-219382!" the damage was beyond the 200K mark, something Stark had never achieved before, but it was mostly because the weak point of the cyclops made its defense irrelevant.
And so that meant…
[Chain Cyclops HP: 0/218000], well to be honest the final attack would have been enough, but the clone had done some damage at the start with the spears.
Its HP reaching 0, the cyclops stumbled, knowing that its end was close.
But… it wouldn\'t go down like this.
And so…
[Death of the cyclops incoming!]
[Passive skill activated: The Final Blow!]
It had a skill that could be used if it was about to die.
\'WHAT?!\' Stark\'s eyes widened as he saw the cyclops stand back up, its eye had popped because of the fist, but it could still sense where Stark was, and so it unleashed everything on him.
Maybe it was a bad idea to sit there and do nothing, but Stark couldn\'t deny that the sight of that monster still trying to eliminate the human after knowing that its death was coming regardless was… kind of amazing?
\'BRING IT ON,\' he smirked as he got ready to avoid it all (hopefully).
