89 Nightmare II (1/2)

With a flick of my hand, Everything on the ground glow and return back to the spatial ring. Everything except two. A butcher knife, and a pan. The thing about enforcing a strengthening on something, if its done on non living things, you have to continuously renew the strengthening each time its reached the limit. While on living being, such as yourself, as long as they, the host can regulate mana, it that skill will use the host body to continuously absorb mana to keep it up until there is no more mana left to activate the skill.

So why did I choose to strengthen the butcher knife and the pan? Don't worry, I did it on myself too, in case things get awry. But right now, I have nothing to help me fight the monster. I dont know any credible martial arts that could help me win this battle.

I jump high and used the strengthened knife to hack one of the spider leg, and it sliced like I was slicing a butter. The monster screech and used one of its leg to stab me again. Parring it with the pan, using my whole momentum to hit it like a professional baseball player.

Crack!

An ominous sound of something, I was afraid I had twisted my own backbone as I spun and landed on my feet perfectly. I look up and saw the other leg hung feebly on the monster body with just a strand of.. something black. Maybe it's vein? I dont know. Maybe I should help it to cut it clean?

The two big googly eyes suddenly turn red, and it split back into small tiny eyes. The scary part was, its eyes move to all over its body. When I said, all over the body, I mean from the butt to the legs.

What an ugly sight.

I heard a business tycoon back at earth said this before. When you're facing with problems, know that its your new opportunity. So, here I am thinking about it. From this f**ked up situation and problem I am facing, what opportunity I could gain?

If only that perverted Arya was here, I could asked him to freeze that monster into an ice sculpture.. then I blinked couple of times. Oh yeah.. I got it. I took out two bottles from my spatial ring. I call the wind elements to blow the powder inside one of the bottle to the monster.

'What's that? A poison? You know that doesn't work' huffed Uric. I grinned.

'Its not a poison. But almost like one' I replied curtly, getting into position. The monster ran through the dust of powder that was blown away by the wind before screeching like its on fire. The moment the spider open its mouth to screech, I threw another bottle inside its mouth. You can see three little strand of blue light following the bottle inside its mouth. It started to wiggle its body. Jumping up and down. It screech again, hitting its legs and head couple of times.

'Holy, damn! Would you look at that! It had gone mad!!!' From the tone of it, I can hear the excitement bubbling inside him.

Shakk. Shakk. Shakk. The thorns explode out from inside out, and slowly wrapping the spider into tight grip.

”How was the chillies? It's not a poison, so your anti- poison and paralysis wont work.” Controlling the thorn, it sprouted another branch and strike right through the head. The monster lay still, unmoving.

Using the butcher knife, I hack the head to check if its indeed died or was just playing possum. It cracked open wide, showing me a goey mess and a rock, the size of your normal coconut fruit. It had a slight purplish dim glow that piqued my interest.
