Chapter 61: Abuse Till Death
Kaden started to walk before suddenly stopping. He then slowly turned his head—and there the beast was again, the same way as the first time. Looking at him with murderous eyes.
“Rare rank, huh...” Kaden muttered as Reditha appeared in his hand. The bear immediately let out a thunderous roar that shook the very air around them as it lunged forward, its claws ready to strike.
Kaden acted instantly. After fighting this beast to the death once already, he had figured out some of its weak points. A common weak point for all beasts was to strike where their core is—and the other one was the heart.
But there was one other thing Kaden had noticed while fighting him the last time.
The beast’s other senses beside sight were trash. And what a great shame it was for a bear to only rely on eight, as usually they had very good senses.
But Kaden didn’t care.
Against a beast without great senses, one that relied mostly on sight, messing with its vision was something that could throw it into chaos instantly.
And that was exactly what Kaden wanted.
With one step, Kaden used his Slothful Steps and disappeared from the beast’s sight, reappearing on its back. He dashed and mounted the massive body, reaching the back of its neck in an instant.
The beast’s instincts screamed danger.
“ROOAARR!” An earth-shaking roar echoed through the poisoned domain as it tried to throw Kaden off by moving erratically, thrashing violently.
“You won’t get me off,” Kaden muttered as he grabbed tightly onto the black fur of the beast. But instantly, green fog began to pour out of the beast’s body.
Poison.
But instead of feeling danger, Kaden barely reacted as the fog touched him. All because of the new trait he had gained—Poison Resistance.
He smirked, and with a sudden burst of speed, appeared just in front of the beast’s eyes—eyes that glared at him with hatred and deep, primal anger.
Without hesitation, Reditha flashed as Kaden cut deep into his wrist. A fountain of blood gushed out and splashed directly onto the beast’s face.
A roar of agony followed.
The beast’s eyes began to corrode instantly. They were a foggy green before, but now they turned pitch black, melting, rotting under the corrosive blood.
“ROOOAAARRRR!!” the beast screamed as it crashed to the ground, rolling and trashing, mad with pain.
After all, it was its eyes being eaten alive. The pain was unimaginable.
But Kaden didn’t even blink.
This only made his job easier.
“I have a mission to finish,” he muttered calmly as he constantly evaded the beast’s random strikes with ease, “and to complete it properly, the corpse has to be as intact as possible.”
And to keep the corpse intact—
He had to kill it in one strike.
Kaden stepped back, barely dodging a claw. Then he slid to the right and avoided another.
It was almost funny.
A blinded beast thrashing on the ground, striking wildly, its movements driven by hatred and agony—
