Chapter 9 - Wrath
n
n
nI was astonished by the current sight that was playing in front of me.
nThe black like-smoke.
nNo. The dead mana that was leaking out of my body bought me a strange feeling of...pleasure. It was as if nothing could trouble your mind and body. The more I released the better I felt... and the stronger I became.
n
"Those feelings....feel wrong
" The pleasure wasn´t that bad, to be honest, but I didn´t like it. It was like something was forcing these feelings into you.
nI dislike it.
nNo.
nI hated it.
n
"Kghaa..
"
nHearing a sound like a growl, the feelings quickly disappeared and my senses came back to me.
n
"Right...there is still this one to be dealt with.
" Seeing the before cocky hobgoblin being wary against me, the one that he laughed at. I found it quite funny.
n
"Haha...Look at you who laughed at me some moments ago! We will see which one of us will be the last to laugh you bastard! Status!
"
nThe next moment I stood up, all the dead mana that was around me gathered inside of my bones in instant.

nI slowly walked towards the hobgoblin until we were about 4 meters away from each other. By just seeing this face I could tell that he was wary of me. But he shouldn´t know by how much stronger I got... Although my current me is stronger, he still has these two damned skills to be on guard which makes things difficult...

n...
nQuite a lot left... not to forget he isn´t injured unlike me. That will be hard.
nI gather the information needed thanks to the status. I already knew what I have to do.
n
"I wonder how long you can last!
" With my battlecry done, I ran straight to get a piece out of him.
nSeeing me coming this way the hobgoblin didn´t just wait there and watch. He stepped forward with this club high in the air and smashed it towards me to end me once and for all.
nBut I wouldn´t let that happen. Just before the club was nearing my skull I stepped back fully dodging the cruel fate that was my skull about to face.
n*Baahm!
nThe club that was supposed to hit me smashed to the ground with enough force to great a small crater.
nChance!
nWithout hesitation, I jumped at him aiming to pierce this chest with my dagger.
nBut when I thought I could finish him off in one go, the unexpected happened.
nThe hobgoblin raised this left hand and let himself be pierced by my dagger in this hand.
n
"Kghehe....
" Although this hand was trembling from the pain, he was laughing with a cruel smile on this face.
nNo good! I got to take it out!
nI hastily tried to pull the dagger out of this arm, but when I did the hobgoblin turned this body and kicked me right into my stomach.
n
"Crap!
"
nThankfully I barely managed to put my shield in front of me, but it only managed to block most of the damage and not the force behind it.
n*Crack
nWith the sounds of my hand breaking even further I was sent rolling to the ground.
n
"This dude isn´t as simple as I thoug~.
" Before I could even collect my thoughts, I saw the hobgoblin almost being at top of my head with these slightly glowing legs aiming to literally stomp at my skull.
n
"No good!
" I pulled my body and rolled to the side to dodge this foot.
nI could already picture what would have if these feet managed to hit my skull... I would have been pasta!
nI tried to get up from the ground as fast as I could but I wasn´t in the best position for that...
n
"Khgwaaaaah!
"
nBefore I could even fully stand up, the hobgoblin already held this club with both this hands high in the air while preparing to use this Heavy Strike.
nAfter I saw that I froze for a moment.
nWas that it?
nI couldn´t survive being hit with that and I can´t dodge it while being only in my knee.
n...
nWas that it?
nAm I just going to die just like that? After not so long ago is everything going to just end?
nMy life...again?
n
"Wait...again?
" Suddenly my thoughts got interrupted by one short but terrible pain from my head. When that happened the hot feeling in my chest got stronger for a moment to the point that I thought there was a real fire inside of me.
nAlthough painful, it helped me regain my focus.
nI ground my teeth and stood with one knee on the ground while raising my shield to welcome the impact that was about to come.
nAnd when the club met with my shield...
n*Cracked
nAfter the club collided with the shield, after a short resistance from the shield. The shield broke. Maybe because the hobgoblin didn´t expect my shield to break or I somehow managed to change the path of the club.
nInstead of the club hitting me on the face with the Heavy Strike that was supposed to be my doom. It went slightly to the left, thus hitting my left arm shoulder.
nSadly my already broken arm couldn´t be saved either. If I were a living being I would even be in extreme pain and shock from the loss of one's arms.
nBut I was an Undead!
n
"I am an Undead you fool!
"
nI didn´t let this chance go away and I went right for the kill!
nI stabbed the hobgoblin right through this chest with everything I could.
n
"KGHAAAA!
" Seeing him throwing blood out of this mouth and this pained expression I put on a vicious smile subconsciously.
n
"Hey, do tell me. How does it feel to have a dagger right through the chest? doesn´t it feel good? No? Well too bad!
"
nI left my dagger inside this chest and pushed him to the ground while gaining some distance.
nBut to my surprise, the hobgoblin stood up and pulled the dagger out of this chest.
n
"You bastard! Can´t you just die already!?
" I was frustrated. Although looking at this status this health was rapidly decreasing. But the more I looked at him the more hatred I could feel.
nNot because of things like frustration or the like.
nNo.
nThe sole reason why I felt anger was the cause of my missing arm and the feelings that were coming out of it.
nIt wasn´t pain that I felt. After all, undead as far as I know can´t feel any pain. That fact didn´t change for me either.
nBut the feeling that I was feeling was similar to one that I already experienced once.
nThe feeling of emptiness and the inability to move. The exact same feeling that I felt while I was in the dark lake before I could see.
nIf I were to describe the feeling of it, it would be like someone took my arm and put it under cold ice. Even though I could feel my missing arm.
nI couldn´t move it.
nThe cold was always there.
nAnd the worst part was that I could feel all that...
nIt was as if someone took a part of me...
n
"...Again...
"
nThe hot feeling in my chest that had already calmed down from before started to increase again.
nSlowly but surely.
nSin of Wrath: Activated
nThe death aura that was held into my body started to leak out and dark green ethereal light similar to small sparks started to build up from my sockets.
nThe exhausted hobgoblin was terrified upon seeing this. or rather the killing intent that was mixed with the death aura.
nBut what terrified him the most wasn´t these things.
nIt was this ethereal eyes of the skeleton in front of him!
nAlthough the hobgoblin could sense the killing intent coming out of me.
nHe couldn´t sense the fact that my strength has increased.
n
"Yeah...let´s put an end to this...

nI ran towards the hobgoblin and punched it right through the face.
nThough the hobgoblin realized and punched back.
nFrom this point on it just became a slugfest.
nAfter some minutes that felt more like hours of exciting our fist.
nThe hobgoblin leader had already reached this limit.
n
"KGWaaahhaaah!
" He put this last remaining strength inside this body into this fist and punched at me everything that he got.
nBut...
nIt was a last-ditch effort in the end. I easily caught the fist with my remaining hand unmoved. Between him who is exhaust versus me with higher stats, I was easily able to catch the last remaining hope of the hobgoblin.
n
"Undead never tire neither fear. Remember that well you piece of green cloth!
"
nI increased the strength of my grip and dragged this hand towards me and headbutted him directly to this face!
n*crack
nBut this time, it wasn´t my bones that cracked.
nYou received 1500 Experience points.
