Chapter 703 Perfectionist Psychopath
"Hehehe… As expected of Queenie. She already mastered it despite being so young." laughed Haidem excitedly.
Near Haidem, there are hundreds of Kedleon corpses (a bipedal locust race). In contrast, there is not a single scratch on Haidem\'s body. In front of him, an old Kedleon Bubucha, also one of the hired tower guards, is in miserable condition and has rough breath.
Various scratches have appeared on his exoskeleton. Fortunately, most of the lethal miasma is defended by barrier magic tools. As one of the black market merchants and suppliers, Bubucha has a lot of magic tools.
Some of these magic tools could even threaten strong sixth-grade combatants. However, Haidem seems to know every one of his magical tools and can react adequately when he takes one out.
Bubucha even thought that Haidem could somehow read his mind. Unbeknown to Bubucha, the Haidem way of fighting is the most basic way for monster-minded people.
After the monster-minded people master their aura and are no longer affected too much by their dark side, they slowly develop a habit of becoming perfect in anything, especially dealing with strong people.
Before he hit Bubucha, Haidem already researched a lot of things about him, even his historical background. He even knows Bubucha\'s grandfather and ancestor and their live biography.
For monster-minded people, only a few things could be hidden from them. With the help of their dark shadow power, they could even know some hidden secrets of this world.
Digging Bubucha\'s history and ability is a small effort for him. If it were not for his habit of toying with people until they feel complete desperation, Haidem would be killed Bubucha long ago.
Indeed, he couldn\'t kill the sixth-grade Bubucha instantly. But he still could fight smarter and lead Bubucha to a more deadly trap than just toying with him.
"Hahaha… What\'s the matter? Out of breath already? Didn\'t we just get started?" mocked Haidem.
"Huft… Huft.. Nyok.. Why is Nyak.. No dwarves\' reinforcement here?" complained Bubucha.
"Oh, the dwarves… I hear they are petting some animal nearby." replied Haidem casually.
"Njok Kjak Ptuh… Don\'t underestimate me, monster!!" said Bubucha in anger.
Suddenly, Bubucha\'s fragile-looking body buffed along with his aura. His body inflated and he became like a bodybuilder. Besides his buffed body, he also wears another set of armor, hooded, a cloak, and various accessories.
These items are not ordinary accessories but artifacts. Normally, people will only have one or two artifacts since it is rare and hard to find compatible artifacts. However, it is a different case for Bubucha.
As one of the most influential people in the black market, he could procure any kind of rare item with his connections. The only thing that restricts Bubucha is his body limitation to master more artifacts.
Looking at the buffed and intimidated Bubucha, Haidem is unafraid and yawns carelessly.
"Ahh… Done already? I thought you needed more time to transform. Don\'t worry. I will wait for you and not break the transformation rule. Hahaha…" laughed Haidem.
"You!! [Elemental Onslaught]." said Bubucha before using his artifacts and shooting various elemental attacks at Haidem.
Haidem once again just moves casually and parries all the attacks without worry. As the black market\'s influential person, Bubucha is quite shrewd. His fighting style is always leading his opponent into a trap.
His attack may look simple, but there are a few dangerous and deadly attacks hidden among these attacks. Yet, Haidem seems to know which is dangerous and which is a faint and harmless attack.
Furthermore, Haidem also not approaching Bubucha casually like any other person. It is as if he knows everything about Bubucha. This makes Bubucha sure that Haidem can somehow read his mind.
\'This is bad!! This monster is the worst opponent for me. I need to call Jud back.\' thought Bubucha inwardly before slowly retreating.
Noticing Bubucha\'s small movement, Haidem who is in the middle of Elemental Onslaught, grinning madly.
"[Far] [Kii]." muttered Haidem in a low voice, but his sound reverb to the whole area.
The next moment Bubucha felt like the whole world stopped and his body suddenly appeared before Haidem. He tried hard to move his body, but it seemed like it stopped working while his mind was still active.
"Don\'t bother. Ohhh… I am going to enjoy this. I bet the others are going to envy me." said Haidem while inspecting many torture tools in his hand.
Then, Haidem picked a scalpel before slowly scratching it at Bubucha\'s restrained body.
\'AARRGGHHH!!\' Bubucha screamed in pain in his mind.
He feels like he is being cut into a thousand pieces just by having his exoskeleton scratched by the scalpel. This pain is unbearable and can never be ignored. Yet, his body could scream or even react to it. At this moment, Bubucha fears Haidem and his tools.
"Ohh… Don\'t be too excited. We are just getting started. Hehehe…" laughed Haidem psychopathically.
Meanwhile, Angus and the others are still playing cat and mouse with many other dwarves\' guards. During this time, all the dwarves below fifth grade are eliminated and incapable of pursuing Angus.
Some of them even surprise at the three people on top of the running giant pig. They didn\'t expect that all three had inexhaustible stamina to keep fighting for a long time.
Although it is only less than half an hour since they start playing cat and mouse, the three are always involved in intense fights that will drain a lot of mana and stamina.
Moreover, the giant pig is really unstoppable. When there is a strong obstacle, it will shoot Miasma Blast and pulverize anything in its path. If someone tries to sneak on it, Angus and Jayna will take them using a long-range attack.
The same situation also happens for strong sixth-grade dwarf captains. They were also pushed back by Angus\'s strong spell. At first, they decide to wait until Angus and Jayna exhaust all their mana. But they didn\'t expect they could keep fighting as if they had endless mana.
"This is ridiculous!! How could he keep spamming those spells without end?!!" complained a dwarf captain after being shot down by Angus\' spell.
This dwarf captain is not alone, as the other dwarf captain has the same situation. Fortunately, none is heavily injured by their strong armor and natural resistance body. Still, they can\'t do anything to the moving giant pig.
It is common knowledge that those below sixth grade couldn\'t maneuver in the air at a fast speed. As for the fifth grade, they could stay in the air for a while but were very restricted and drained too much mana.
In fact, all the dwarf guards can stay and fly in the air with the help of their enchanted solid armor. However, it is still draining them of a lot of mana. Yet, they didn\'t expect the dwarves to be drained before the young couple Angus and Jayna.
At this moment, Angus and Jayna secretly share their mana with each other through [Allegiance] power. Their natural mana regeneration allows them to fight intensely for days or more before being completely exhausted. The only thing that limits them is their mental fatigue.
Even if they have strong endurance and a large capacity for stamina, their mind could still feel tired. Fortunately, this is not a problem for Angus with his current attribute. At this moment, he finally realizes the true benefit of his system as he checks his ridiculous status.
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 18 Years Old
MP: 765/765 -> 779/779
Chi: 1210 -> 1447
Heritage chi: ???
Strength: 60 -> 61
Dexterity: 59 -> 60
Intelligence: 58 -> 59
Vitality: 59 -> 60
Soul Point: 287.997 -> 273.448
Soul Reserve: 1331
(A.N: The time difference is around two months.)
The most affecting attribute is his vitality and stamina. At first, Angus thought it would only affect his physical endurance and body toughness. Unexpectedly, it also affected his mental endurance. Currently, Angus is less tired than before.
It took a long time for him to notice this change as he never had a significant increase in vitality and always worked with things that required strong mental endurance.
Combined with the passive effect of his intelligence attribute, he never realizes that his vitality attribute affects his mental endurance and fast growth. This also makes him realize each attribute is correlated with one another.
Strength attributes represent his muscle and physical power heavily correlated with Dexterity and vitality. With imbalanced Dexterity and vitality, he could easily hurt himself.
Dexterity, which represents his flexibility and reaction time, is heavily influenced by intelligence and vitality. Without enough intelligence and vitality, his mind couldn\'t react fast enough to control his body.
He also couldn\'t move fast without enough strength and could injure himself without enough vitality.
The intelligence which increases his mind processing speed and memory is also an important attribute with a heavy role, especially with the combination of [Analyze]. Still, his body may not catch up with his mind without strength and Dexterity.
As for vitality, it increases his overall body endurance, be it body and mind. He will be capable of recovering faster and less fatigued. Combined with the mysterious red crystal soul reserve, Angus could be said to be unable to get exhausted.
Though it also makes him quite a monster during his particular night activity which also complains and satisfies his beloved woman.
