"urgh!"
Even though still has a lot of wounds on his body, he still managed to run as fast as the time when he was fighting Matt, the guy that tried to kill him but failed because of his intelligence and quick decision making.
He just become more stronger so he can finally keep up with the attacks and speed of this beast but still, even though he just got stronger, his body is currently very damaged because he doesn't fully healed yet.
Blocking the attacks is much more harder than dodging, the only way for him to not get damaged so severely is by dodging because if he blocked, he might still get damaged more because his arm might not keep up.
"Tssk..." He grunt as he tries to attack the body of this big serpent beast.
As expected, it only leave a trace of his katana hitting that spot. He planned on hitting it again and again until he penetrates the metal like scales of this beast.
'but if I do that, there's a big chance that it's tail will hit me because the distance between me and that scar, even if I'm close it's still far.'
Just for the record, he needs to jump atleast 6 - 7 times in order to get to that spot, and that's enough for this thing to notice it and counterattack. He just got lucky and managed to hit it.
"Well, only one more way to defeat this thing."
Once again, he run with just enough to not tire him completely but still fast enough to be able to go to this beast. He go toe to toe with it, using it's head and tail to attack.
At first, he can actually keep up and go toe to toe with it until a few minutes later, because of his wounds; his stamina is running very low when it's already low when he go through here.
So, with enough focus and timing and along with his right eye's ability, the moment this thing attacks with it's head, he jumped on it and then stabbed it a few times with his full strength.
He managed to open up a small wound and penetrate the armour like scales on it's head. Before that, he took something inside his dark cloak that he is wearing and then jumper downwards from it's head.
Boooooom!
Screeeeeeeeech!!!!!
A huge explosion erupted from the beast'd head, causing for it to let out a loud screeching noise.
The top of it's head is already wide open, the scale and the skull is out of the way for it to use it's head to attack. A lot of blood was dipping from it's wide open head, the brain is almost gonna get out and the screeching continues until it suddenly stops and then tried to crawl away.
Wooosh!
"You really think I'll let you crawl away?" Suddenly, he appears right beside his open head. He noticed that it's brain is kind of beating, just slight enough but it's beating like a heart.
He lift his right arm, where he was holding his katana and then moved it very fast to attack the beast, causing for it get alarmed and attack him with it's tail.
"Urgh!" He grunts.
He got thrown away by the strong impact of the big serpent's attack, causing for him to get sent into the wall of this big rock. He got stacked and get almost trapped inside, but used his strength to get out and then got lay flat on the ground.
"I win." He says as he smirked at the fast crawling beast.
Boooooom!
Screee--
Once again, the top of the beast's head suddenly exploded and a lot of part of the brain got thrown mid air. It's blood covered the big part of the cave and it as if rained but instead of water, it was blood.
He stood up while holding his right arm using his left arm, he slowly walked towards the katana that got blown away by the big explosion.
He managed to grabbed it on time but then suddenly, he got attacked by an unknown creature that even managed to leave a wound on both his shoulder.
"Ack!"
He knelt on his knees as he instantly felt the pain of the wounds created by the creature he didn't even saw move or even dashed towards him. He just felt the attack after it happened.
He looked back at it and finally saw it, it was a green praying mantis, and is as big as a 7'0 foot creature. It looked exactly like a praying mantis but the difference is that it's like a thousand more bugger than it normally is.
"Fuck..... Give me a break..." He says, trying to catch his breath after the big explosion and the impact he got from being thrown away.
He also felt that his body is starting to reach it's limit and starting to give up. He knows that he was supposed to be resting right about now because he hasn't even yet to recover from the amount of wounds he got from his last battle, now it got doubled because he gets more injuries.
"What a life I have....."
He once again just stand there, waiting for his opponent to move. Once again, he didn't saw it move, it just dissapeared and the last thing he knows is that he has another wound on his abdomen.
"Krugh!" He puke a lot of blood, but kept on trying to maintain his stance at all cost.
His ability didn't even managed to keep up with the speed of this big insect. But rught about now, at this very moment, the one of the most dangerous predator in the wild becomes more dangerous. The human become the insect and the insect become the human, just as if the insect who became the human was just stomping the human that became the insect in this battle.
"Tssk...."
Once again, he activated the Instant Action that suddenly deactivate when he lost consciousness for a very slight moment.
This ability only assists the body to react more faster, that means this ability was depended on the user's physical state. If this ability allows the user to react at light speed with a weak body, that body is going to explode or just really dissapear because the body couldn't handle the speed.
'Shit..... I can't hit it!'
He run towards the Mantis who just kept on dodging his attacks like it was just toying with him and not taking him seriously, he stabbed it's foot but the tip of the sword just break through the ground, causing for it to create a hole.
He placed his hand to that hole and then dashed once again on the mantis, that was as if waiting for him to move and attack it again.
The mantis moves towards the dead body of the big serpent and dashed to it around, and a few seconds has passed and the whole body got cuts in a lot of part.
"Just die!"
Yuri says as he kept on running while still slashing with his katana, until they were able to go to the part of the head of the big serpent.
The mantis, who then attacked him once again on the right side and got sent to it's body. After a few seconds, he got back up and then get back to attacking the mantis.
After a few more attacks and stabbing it's foot and creating a hole on the ground and placing his hand on it, he finally stopped.
Breathing very heavily as he tried to catch his breath, he was about to fall in his knees but balance his body using his katana.
He stand up straight, holding his katana while the tip of it who he stabbed on the ground to keep his balance, and closed his eyes.
"Whew.... Come." He opened his eyes, and then smirk at the creature.
It dashed towards Yuri!
But this time, instead of being so fast, it slowed itself down that even the already weakened body of Yuri can still see this creature walking towards him.
After that, it suddenly stopped and then just continue but this time, it's just walking.
It walked.....
Walked.....
Walked...
'just a little more.....!' Yuri thought, sweating very heavily and waiting for It to finally walked there.
After a few more seconds of waiting and the amount of sweats he wasted while waiting for It to finally stepped there..... But....
Fwooosh
He suddenly felt the mantis's raptorial claw that was about to take his whole head as it dashes towards him, he felt the sharp part of it's claw that was about to hit him but then he got lucky.
"Urgh.....!"
He manages to bend backwards and avoided his meeting with death!
"Shit..... I was hoping that you'd fall for it but I guess...."
He picked up the knife that he placed to the part where the mantis almost stepped on. He placed it, hoping that the mantis will step on it and explode.
"You are too fast!"
He shouted, as he throw the knife at the ground between him and the mantis.
Boooooom!
