《My Magical System 》Chapter 38: Simple-minded
Advertisement
After successfully evaded the monster's attack, he kicked the ground and leaped backward to widen their distance.
The room where they were fighting had wide space and a tall ceiling. Yeman believed that this place wasn't a sewer. It might be a secret facility, because of how it looks.
Ooooooooowwwwwwooooorr!!! The rat lord howled that made the room trembled. After its howl, it stared angrily at him while smoke coming out from its mouth.
Yeman right hand was enveloped by a red glow. He was staring at the monster while trying to find an opening.
The monster also stared at him while slowly moving forward. Its greatsword was leaning on its right shoulder while being held by its right hand.
Its eyes glistened in red color. And its every step caused the ground to tremble. Such an overbearing lord. If any of the recruited soldiers fighting it at the moment, they would probably wet their pants.
But too bad for this lord, the one it happened to fight today wasn't an ordinary human. At the last step of the rat lord, it cut their distance into 30 meters away.
Yeman smiled slowly. Then suddenly, three whooshing sounds traveled in a hard to perceive speed by naked eyes. One of the hardened stone penetrated on its left eye.
The rat lord surface a grimace expression on its face. Then it hastily lifted his greatsword in front.
The rat lord seemed not an ordinary enemy as well. It manages to block the two hardened stone by using his greatsword.
Which followed by two consecutive ear-piercing sounds that resounded inside the room.
Yeman quickly took another stone that was scattered around.
When the rat lord noticed that the attack had been stopped, it strode towards him. But Yeman didn't leap backward this time; instead, he strode towards the rat lord in a rapid motion.

While running he sent flying another three hardened stone using his Finger Bullet skill. This time he aimed towards its right eye.
Ooooooooooooooowwwwwooorrr! The rat lord released another howl. And it lifted its greatsword to cover its face. It knew that the human would attack its remaining eye. For the rat lord, humans were simple-minded creatures. They were easy to read. That's why they almost got wiped out on the last great war that happened 100 years ago.
The rat twisted its mouth into a smirk when the hardened stones fired by this peculiar human hit the greatsword into three consecutive hits. The rat lord admitted that this human had a power that was different from the other human he fought before. But still, the human was still human. A simple-minded creature.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Suddenly, the rat lord froze. It noticed that its underarms had been pierced by something.
Really, Yeman didn't think that this rat could think as well. Looks like it had intelligence, so he tested first if it was able to read his attacks. He was quite surprised when the rat lord had really reacted as he expected for an intelligent being.
If it didn't intelligent enough, it would only dash towards him or if not, it would try to evade his attacks. But this monster really covered its eyes.
Because of this, its underarm which was not covered by armor was in full display.
The rat lord didn't think he was duped by this human. It certainly not aiming to his right eye but to his underarm. Now its arms lost strength and went limp.
Owwwwoooorrr!!! Even its howl was in grieved and cleared that it's in pain.
But even though, the rat lord could still manage to fight. It still holds its greatsword that was aiming at the ground. Suddenly, its body was enveloped by an aura of dark red color.

It was oozing from its body and looks domineering. Like a god of war.
But the human in front of him had no expressions written on his face.
"So this is what they've called as a berserk mode in some MMORPG games back on earth when a monster's health points dropped to 1/2 of its full health points," he mumbled.
The hit on its eye delt a massive amount of damage to the rat lord. Its health points were 30,000 HP in total but now it dropped into 14,800 HP.
Three hits in a spot-on accuracy dealt massive damage. Plus minor damage it took when their fight started.
Now the rat lord was covered by this oozing dark red aura.
Yeman sent flying another batch of hardened stones using his Finger Bullet skill.
Loud thuds followed when it hit the rat lord, and the damage was at most 100 only. Looks like its defense went up and its resistance as well.
He noticed the rat lord came charging at him in full force. His body exuded an overbearing demeanor.
Yeman materialized his two daggers on its hand. After the magical sound, each dagger appeared on each of his hands.
The rat lord leaped 10 meters above the ground to shorten their distance. Even the greatsword in its hands exuded a dark red aura.
Any soldier from the subjugation squad will surely tremble in fears when seeing this scene.
The rat lord dove towards him while brandishing its greatsword from above its head. It vertically smashed towards the human enemy.
Yeman didn't move and lifted his left hand that was holding one of the daggers. It was the old one, not the one he got from gacha. The Bloodlust dagger was on his right hand.
Not even a second had passed when a loud bang resounded all over the place. The whole place in this mysterious sewer was shaking crazily.
Even outside the sewer, the trembling had been felt by the soldiers.
"Captain! What was that?" Mina asked Ronny.
"That rat lord I guess," Ronny answered in a puzzled expression. He didn't know what had happened below. But it looks like a massive amount of strength had been exerted that causes the area to tremble.
All the soldiers nearby furrowed their brows from this domineering strength. They asked themselves, what if they were hit by this kind of attack from that monster? For sure no more tomorrow awaited them.
Some soldiers with weak constitutions were trembling.

So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.
