Chapter 117: Activating Waterblade
"Why do such things happen to me?" Damien screeched as he jumped, trying to dodge the cheetah that was chasing him. He turned to look behind him and shouted at the beastman, "I don't taste good. There is a lot of fat and carbohydrate in my body. I don't think you will be able to digest me. The chances of getting constipation are very high."
"Very.. very high!"
Whether the cheetah beastman understood what he was trying to tell him or not, Damien didn't know. The cheetah beastman simply let out a roar, causing goosebumps to rise all over his arms.
He turned and looked at Maui before saying to him, "I have a feeling that the beastman is not shy of getting fat."
"I think so." Experience tales at m v|l e'm,p| y- r
The two of them looked at one another before they started running faster.
The two of them were flying towards the Tower of Helion when they ended up running into this cheetah beastman. Or it was better to say that it was he who ran into them. The two of them were flying past a cliff and that bastard jumped down from nowhere and the three of them tumbled onto the floor.
There wasn't a reckless pouncing department in this world or else Damien would have definitely filed a complaint against that cheetah beastman. If there was a beastman who deserved to get his hunting licence revoked. It was him!
ROAR!
Damien gritted his teeth and sped up.
"How long are you going to run, host?" Dan asked while looking at Damien with a confused expression on his face. "Don't you think that it is better to knock that beast down."
"I want to knock him down too," Damien gritted out. "But…" he turned around and flicked the anaesthesia spell at the cheetah beastman .
The green fumes knocked the cheetah beastman off their trail for a while but then it scoffed and coughed before chasing after them once again.
"It needs a stronger dose!" Damien yelled. He didn't carry that much anaesthesia with him.
Who would have thought that such a situation would arise?
"Then why don't you try to fight it?" Dan suggested. "Were you not preparing for something like this?"
He was. He indeed was but–
When Damien looked behind and saw the giant cheetah beastman chasing after him, the courage within his heart started to dwindle. Back then he was sparring with Xavier; he knew that the man wouldn't kill him, which was why he was not worried.
But this cheetah beastman was different. If the two of them fought, he would definitely kill him.
He was scared.
"Then are you going to continue running?"
Damien snapped out of the daze and looked at Dan; for some reason he was looking human once again.
"It's you." It was not a question but a statement.
"Believe in yourself." Whatever had taken over his AI system looked at him with a serene expression. "You are not as weak as you think."
"What—what do you mean by that?"
ROAR!
Damien didn't have the time to question the being; he wheeled around and looked at the cheetah beastman that had gotten too close to him.
"Lord Damien, turn around and run," Thalia stepped forward in front of him and said, "I will hold him down."
Damien looked at Thalia who was already bleeding in several places and gritted his teeth. Was he going to hide behind someone once again?
"No," He said to her and unsheathed his sword. He told her, "Step aside."
He was not going to hide behind a woman and let her take the risks for him. It was not only really uncool, it made him feel defeated.
What was the point in living a life like a loser?
Damien stepped in front of the cheetah beastman and raised his sword, "You want to get some? Come and get it."
The cheetah beastman let out a roar that sounded like a snicker but Damien wasn't bothered by it.
He clutched the hilt of his sword and inhaled before exhaling.
Just then the cheetah beastman sliced at him. His long and large claws swatted against his chest and Damien let out a hiss, that momentary distraction led to a second delay.
However, another second later the sword in his hand was wrapped with water. The blade turned and twisted like a little wave that was moving with a continuous stream of water.
"That — how did it…" Thalia's eyes widened when she saw Waterblade's true form.
Wasn't it said that Damien's beastcore was ruined? Was it a lie? Or did he revive his core?
However, was that even possible?
The cheetah beastman halted in his actions when he saw Damien awakening his blessed sword. His eyes narrowed at Damien but another second later, he charged at the man.
Even if Damien had recovered his mana. There was no way he would be able to control all of it. Because if he could, then this man wouldn't be standing and facing him with a sword.
As long as he was stronger than him no matter what the status of their beast form had in the apex, Clyde was certain that he would be able to kill Damien.
When he thought about his victory over a dragon beastman, Clyde felt his blood turn hot.
He let out a roar and then charged at Damien who narrowed his eyes and ducked.
The cheetah beastman snarled as he raised his hackles. And his fur crackled with electricity. He raised his front paws and then brought them heavily down.
"AH!" Damien gasped when he felt the electricity current travelling through his body. He closed his eyes and twisted in the air before coming to a stop away from the cheetah beastman.
[Activating Eye of observation.]
He heard the system state, and a second later a screen appeared in front of him. He carefully looked at the X-ray, and he quickly found the weak point of the cheetah beastman.
Eyes set on the weakness of the cheetah beastman, Damien charged at him.
