-Fein's POV-
Now that I decided to fight, I must give everything I got because our strength is almost close, and my only advantage is my battle experience and skill.
The Wind Bear didn't even glance at the destruction that it caused. Instead, it charges at me, the surrounding wind suddenly changed its direction as if supporting the bear and strengthening its momentum. Its speed increased drastically.
"What a smart utilization of skills" I muttered.
For a wild beast, this feat is already incredible, because it just signifies that its intelligence is high. Instead of being passive, I stretched my body and gathered the force in my feet, and run in the bear's direction.
The Wind Bear was surprised by my action, it probably never encountered someone willing to fight it head-off given how strong it was.
When I had come near to it, the Wind Bear lifted its huge paw with sharp claws. I suddenly received a bad premonition after seeing that the paw has a light blue wind rotating on it.
'It was probably the Wind Paw' I thought of the abilities that I had seen on my probe earlier.
I had already thought of ways to avoid this so I just simply used my speed to create a phantom copy of myself to confuse it.
The Mutated Wind Bear looks confused after seeing me multiplied. But it quickly responded by attacking the one that is nearer.
The phantom dissipated and a loud sound of cracking was produced after the paw had hit the ground.
In the ground, a large and deep pit can be seen.
I took a deep breath after seeing the damage it cause. If that attack hits me I would probably have broken bones even with the toughness of my body.
After seeing that its attack was futile, the Wind Bear angrily smashed dozens of my phantom. After seeing this I took the opportunity, activated my trained stealth, and entered my killing state. The surroundings became slower in the eyes but it was also crystal clear that I can even see every pore on the body of the bear.
So just like that, I quietly sneak behind it without making the slightest sound yet my speed was increasing with every step that I took.
When I was already behind it, I subconsciously activated my storage space to retrieve my sword and dagger. I infused some Degu energy on the dagger, my arm that was holding it tightened as the veins in my hands and shoulder became pronounced from the momentum that I was currently gathering. After that, I threw it on the back of Wind Bear.
As if sensing something... The Mutated Wind Bear tilted its head and looked at the incoming dagger. It looked at the dagger intently which caused the air surrounding the dagger to redirect it which decrease its force. The bear waited for the dagger to enter its range and slapped it in a rude manner which caused the dagger to fly away.
'Can it also sense the wind movement? or is it purely beast instinct?' A series of questions pops up in my head as I constantly tried to analyze our battle.
After doing this, the bear looked at me provocatively with a challenging look.
"Fck you!" I cursed it because the bear just imitated a human expression who looks like Dio on the anime in my past life which absolutely looks disgusting that it would probably leave its mark on me for the rest of the year.
'Oh, what a bad day to have eyes!' Fain cursed on his head.
Fain stared at the grinning bear speechlessly. He tightened his grip on the sword. This is the first time that he suffered a loss since coming to this world. And he didn't expect that it would also come from a bear which was slightly humiliating for him.
"Let's see if you still had your smile later" I quickly infused fifty percent of my degu on the sword and made a chopping motion towards the bear.
Sword energy was produced and swiftly came to the side of the bear hitting its shoulder in the blink of an eye.
This is the move that I reproduced on one of the anime called "One Piece" The only difference it had is that it was made of Degu energy and it has a sword intent that I comprehended after my swordsmanship reached a level where it receives a qualitative change, I can even adjust its power according to my needs as long as I have sufficient Degu energy. And the move I just did now is enough to cut a huge Skyscraper into pieces
"Whoooo!"
A sound of wailing resounded in the vicinity. It's probably the first time it felt pain.
I looked at the bear who just received some scratch and light wound on its body "you shall know true pain is!"
But in reality, I was impressed by its body toughness. Because I knew how much damage the attack It just receive right now. It can literally fucking destroy a whole building and it just fucking receives a scratch as a result!?
'Hmmm... So this is what S Class endurance could do' I muttered to myself.
After all, even if I'm the one who was on the receiving end of my own attack right now I would probably end up having only one arm left. Well, that should be the case in case I can't dodge it, which I could...
This is really eye-opening to me and made me realize that I should take this battle more seriously or I'll end up being exhausted.
"I need to end this quickly"
The bear had already recovered from my attack, and its previous easy-going behavior was nowhere to be seen. It looked warily in my direction...
I also stared at it quietly while changing the plans I had after seeing the toughness of its body. I just discovered that I still lack some attack with high penetration. When against an opponent with a high defense it's best to end it quickly and need to make sure to prevent from being dragged into a battle of attrition. And this requires a high penetration. I rummaged my mind for techniques in my arsenal with high penetrating damage. and as a result, I had nothing...
'So the martial arts that I learned is the only thing that I can use right now. Luckily, there's a martial art technique that specifically targets the inner body of enemies.' I thought awkwardly.
