Chapter 46: Spectre
Spectre was running on a place full of sand, with a heat so scorching that normal people would have died of exhaustion and dehydration already just from standing here alone without even walking or moving.
Spectre had appeared in a desert when he was transported to a random location.
Due to the absurdness of his physique which was even further strengthened by the fruit he ate before, the heat couldn’t even make a single sweat leave his skin pores.
Spectre started running North immediately he saw that he was in a desert.
As Spectre was running, the ground started trembling as if something was coming up from beneath, and indeed something was coming.
Spectre stopped and looked at what was coming, then he saw Giant desert centipedes, and there were a hundred of them, all at the A rank and were 50 meters in height each.
‘Hmmm ... is this a nest’ Spectre decided to let go of the idea and just kill them off.
They immediately breathed poison at spectre, who just dodged and increased his speed.
Running up the body of one the centipedes, then cut off it’s head in one swift motion.
He used the body of the dead centipede as a foot hold then jumped to another with a fluid movement, then decapitated that one.
Then he used his movement art ‘Lightning step’ to move rapidly while swing his Katana, leaving only a faint purple line and after images in his wake as he harvested their souls like a reaper.
He looked around the dead bodies and smiled, happiness coursing throughout his body and he was in love with this feeling
Ever since he could wield a weapon this is what he ever longed for, to battle.
But reality seemed to decline his only request and he had a pitiful talent for the katana which he loves, but that didn’t break him as he trained everyday without rest.
After meeting Anthony, and got his physique, he trained like hell while imagining this very moment, and now it was no longer an imagination, he has truly changed his fate, well Anthony has truly changed his fate.
He increased his speed by using his movement art while also covering himself with lightning and in less than ten seconds he was out of the deserts, the remaining Giant Centipedes didn’t even know what passed by, and they were all slaughtered before they could even sense any movement in any form and of course he didn’t leave the corpse behind for other monsters to eat.
Immediately he got to the forest area, he was smiling with battle intent leaking out of him.
He suddenly turned his head north east as he sensed a strong aura moving towards him with great speed in response to his battle intent, which he released unknowningly.
When the monster arrived, it looked at spectre with a confused look in it’s eye while raising one eye brow up.
It was confused because, such battle hungry intent meant that whoever released it is being starved and was in for a fight, and it came for a fight as it too was a battle maniac on it’s own right, but when it saw that the one releasing such battle intent was an F- rank it was utterly confused.
Anthony looked at the monster with a surprised face at first, then a smile bloomed on his face like a dog with a bone.
“Human, you should tone down your hunger or you might die too early” said the monster.
Spectre was stunned because he has never met any monsters that could speak.
He looked at the monster that stood on two legs with hooves, with bulging muscles and two thick large curved horns coming out of the monster temples right above the ears, with just enough clothes to cover it’s private part, while holding a large double edged Axe and stood at a height of 7 feet while releasing an aura of an S+ rank.
It was a Minotaur, a rare race hardly encountered but hard to counter as they were a battle hungry and savage specie.
Their love for battle and blood rivals that of demons, which is nevre racking to many.
“Let us leave the small talks and begin this” said Spectre as he was too hungry for this battle to speak with a monster that could talk, he has literally been starving since he was ten
“As you wish” said the minotaur who immediately became hazy because he had already left his original position and what was being seen was an after image left behind.
It swung it’s axe at Spectre, attempting to cleave him in half in one fell swoop.
Spectre blocked the attack while having a crazed smile on his face, as he counter attacked by slashing fifty time at the minotaur.
