Chapter 28
[Asura]!
—Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!
Sparks flew, and giant scales scattered like shuriken, embedding themselves into trees.
—Screeeeeeeeeech!
The Cockatrice’s roar echoed through the forest. Green blood gushed from countless cuts. But the Cockatrice showed no sign of giving up. It thrust its beak at me again. The giant tree behind me exploded—but I had already stepped forward.
I slipped into the Cockatrice’s flank and jumped straight up.
[Great Strength]!
The ground sank from the impact, and the scenery blurred as I slashed upward from the Cockatrice’s belly to its throat.
A solid hit.
To avoid being blinded by the spray of green blood, I pulled out my sword and kicked the Cockatrice’s throat to create distance.
—Gurgle gurgle… Gurgle gurgle gurgle…!
I must have damaged its vocal cords. Its cries no longer had the same power.
Its attacks are beak-based. As long as I pay attention to its neck movements, I can handle it.
As I ran around the Cockatrice, which was writhing in pain and spraying blood, I repeatedly unleashed [Asura].
Little by little, but surely, I was whittling down its stamina.
“Should I try a big move…?”
I raised my sword like a batter preparing to swing, pulling my right leg back.
I focused on two things.
[Asura][Great Strength]!!
Combining two skills! The moment I kicked off the ground, my body tilted.
