Chapter 151: Protein Madman
We ended up running all around the place after being chased by the protein madman. Despite how heavy he looks like, he was so agile and he can run like an athlete. I have to carry Anya to make sure we can get away from the monster.
The good thing so far is that no other monsters are trying to kill us when we run around the hallways. Except for this monster, not a single monster is currently blocking our way. It was quite troublesome for me to fight smaller monsters just to escape this abomination. Thankfully, I don't have to do that and just continue to outrun this monster.
And thanks to me running around from the protein madman, I managed to cover the whole area and map it to my Insight. Still, this madman is just fast enough to keep up with me. I can't believe that even with my full speed of running by enforcing mana to my legs is not enough to outrun this abomination.
I even tried releasing some traps like some electric shockwaves to paralyze the enemy but that didn't do a thing, it just stepped on them like it was some mere pebble. I am quite sure it can shock and paralyze an adult human for 5 days and a few minutes if it is a magician or a monster. But to ignore the effects just transcends it.
"Is that guy still chasing us?!"
"Yes brother, that guy is still a few steps away from you but if it speeds up a little bit, it will catch up to us," Anya said as she looked behind me with disgust.
My legs might no longer hurt from running and I can now run without stopping for a few hours but having a monster chase you is just too much. Certainly, outrunning this guy is no longer possible. Fighting this guy head-on is the only thing I can do.
"We will stop running, we will fight."
"Can we win?!" Anya almost panicked.
"We have to win."
...
We ran around in circles for quite a while. I also made sure everywhere is fully documented in my insight so that I can find a suitable place to start the battle against this protein madman. Around 7 minutes later, the whole place has been fully explored. I even managed to locate the stairwell and just like the other stairwell, it leads to another floor.
And after mapping the whole place, the only place with the biggest space to cause a fight without being caught in walls is the space around the stairwell. The area around the stairs is pretty spacious and will be good enough to deal with the enemy. I am just hoping this monster will go down immediately but I know things won't be that easy.
"ROOOOAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!"
"Brother! He is closing in the gap we have with him!"
This enemy is quite persistent. To think it will increase its running speed just to catch up to me. What a monster... but I don't believe it can't die. Death will always be an inevitable outcome and even if you have been living for how many years, in the very end, you will still die. Of course, I refuse to die so early. I have not seen my children and my future wife yet.
The protein madman is just behind my back, and I can tell that the monster is ready to squish me and Anya. However, I refuse that to happen!
"Hold tight Anya! We are going full burst away from this guy!"
Anya did not hesitate to cling to my neck. Having her secured in her place, I made a rash move.
"WATER TORRENT!"
Opening my palm and face it to my back, I released a torrent of water made from my mana and blast forward, leaving behind the monster due to the water pressure. It was not a planned move. I just made it like that to make sure we can get our distance off from the protein madman. With the help of [Water Torrent], our distance with the protein madman increased.
BOOOOOMMM!
The madman smashed the floor creating a wreck. If we are caught in that, I can't imagine what will happen to us.
Finally, we arrived in the stairwell area.
"This is where we will be confronting that monster. Support me from the distance, Anya, make sure you hit that bastard some range magic skills."
"Alright Brother," Anya said and flew not too far.
"Yuri, Yuto, you also support me by disrupting the monster's movements. Try to slow him down as long as possible."
"Roger!" the two nodded.
I looked at my hands and touch the Skull Knuckles. Although I wanted to use the ability to instantly kill the monster by using this, I don't want to increase its bloodlust a lot more. The more I try to use its ability, the harder it will be to control the Skull Knuckles and I might go berserk by this.
"It's now or never. Kill or be killed."
"ROAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
The protein madman appeared on sight and still as angry as ever.
"Do you want some advice to defeat that monster Kazuma? I have already scanned it and managed to pinpoint its weakness."
"You already did?" I was surprised. Blue has done something I usually order her to do. Now, she just did it of her own volition. Still, every method to defeat this monster as soon as possible is welcome.
"Give me the details!"
"Hit the head and the crotch with any kind of attacks always. For some reason, the crotch has the weakest defense of all the body parts of this monster. You won't be able to damage him much if you didn't hit those two places."
"The crotch?!"
"It is one of his weaknesses. Once he lost the battle, not only he will lose the ability to fight but he will also be killed. Just hit him hard as always and he will never rise back up again."
I shook my head hearing the weakness. Why the crotch? I don't even see the genitalia of this monster and now I have to hit it properly?! As for the head, it is too risky, so the crotch part is the target of the magic. Without looking at it, I operated and release my magic to the crotch. Who cares if this is your sensitive area. But I will make sure this bastard will never rise back again.
