BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116: Redop Vs Seth
Right when he was beneath the monster, he planted the staff making the upper butt of the staff encounter the monster's face, at the same time the monster's leg rose to stump him like an ant. However, Size Reschedule was faster.
Bang!
As the staff elongated fast, it also expanded its thickness a little and that hit the monster's face very hard and sent it reeling three meters back. Seth didn't use elevated strike for a reason.
He followed the monster and was about to attack it when he heard a shout, "Don't do it!"
Seth hesitated but before he looked away, the red giant four-meter humanoid monster had already recovered and it dashed toward Seth and it was fast.
Before Seth could do a thing, a punch landed on him and sent him back 5 meters. However, the expected blood and broken bones did not appear. Seth was with no injury, but his attire had changed, it had become robust with a helmet on his head.
ROAR!
The monster roared at Seth which caused the air around to change a bit. At that moment, the monster was held in place by a red shadow beneath it. The monster hit the ground in order to escape but to no avail. Its hands glowed red and smashed the floor, each shattering the concrete, it became free and speed up toward seth with murderous intent.
Seth tilted his head, his oversized staff on his shoulder and then swung it at the monster. It wasn't mindless, the monster avoided the staff and rammed Seth toward a wall.
It was fast, faster than Seth could move away.
'Good!' Seth thought. The staff was small already, but with quick adjustment it expanded, supported by the wall it pushed the monster away and gave him time to stand. Another thing was, Seth swung the staff, this time the monster punched Seth's head while ignoring the staff.
Right, when the staff was just inches away from the monster, the staff expanded to the 1-meter thickness and its heaviness increased.
Bang.
It's as if a heavy beam of metal had hit its head, and the monster swayed to the left, before it recovered, seth adjusted again and the staff elongated and supported by the wall with increased weight smashed at the humanoid monster's chest and that sent him back ten meters with a caved chest. Its ribs were broken.
Aura Sight
Seth stood well, with no visible injury, his Green Hood Cloak fluttering in the wind and he put the 1m thick staff in his shoulder. His eyes were calm as he stared at the struggling red giant.
It was very strong, but Seth Shifting's armoury was very durable. It was made out of Crodo that Abuhe Vulcan fought in a Vulcan village before he killed it. And one needs to know that Abuhe Vulcan is Temporal Warrior.
All impacts on the armour were negated and the tremor was so much reduced that Seth felt almost nothing.
The staff of Elevation has two similar aspects. Size Reschedule and Weight Reschedule which allow him to change its size and weight at will.
The monster stood and glared at seth. At that moment a piece of music was heard from elsewhere and the monster swayed as if falling asleep but it roared and its body became redder before it dashed at Seth, a red shadow constantly trying to slow it. Even with that, its speed was very high.
Seth has observed the monster enough with Aura Sight to see something abnormal in it. Around the chest, just above the heart was something red, with faint facial features. When the music was heard, the circular red face disappeared but then it came back very pronounced and Seth recognised it as similar to Red Bubbles.
The monster was being controlled by Red Bubble.
Seth shifted the staff to a short sword and right before the monster reached him, he struck with the blade. At the same time, the red shadow hindering the monster vanished and that allowed the monster's speed to increase.
The elevated strike was fast, very fast, because it reached the monster before it reached seth, but once the red bubble realized it was being targeted, it tried to make the monster stop and turn around, it even made it raise its hand to stop the blade.
However, the blade went through both hands like butter and hit the chest, the moment the blade stabbed at the red Bubble, Seth allowed the Dragon Aura to manifest which obliterated the bubble known as Ghost. And it shortened as fast.
The giant humanoid monster was now standing above Seth's small body, its eyes glaring at him, then it fell Seth stepped aside and it hit where he was standing. It was silent.
[Congratulations]
[You have defeated Red Ghost]
[You have incurred the hatred of Redop Irik]
"Wait. What?" Seth looked up and he found Redop staring at him. Under him was Red Shadow which has been trying to stop the giant. Then his eyes reddened and red tears flowed down from his eyes.
Seth was about to explain himself when he noticed a lot of people standing with weapons around him. Town enforcers appeared and they began to give orders to the people.
The town folks were angry because Seth had killed the presumed monster.
"Don't fight. Chief has ordered no fighting. He will judge this"
Some of the townspeople stepped back and put away their weapons but Redop's eyes were fixed on Seth.
"A monster attacked me and I did what I had to do!" Seth said dismissively. As if this was the most normal thing there is. At that moment the red shadow below Redop seeped into Redop and his shadow became normal. And then he brought out a long sword
"Chief will judge this!" Another enforcer shouted at him but one slap sent the man away. And then he attacked Seth.
"Exertion Point alert!"
[Exertion Points: 65/70]
'Good. I can go on for some time!' The moment he thought that a red sword energy attack slammed at him. Which sent him a hundred meters away, he slammed into a wall that shattered and he went into the house.
People in the house screamed with fright and the father brought his weapon to attack but he saw an angry Redip coming, so he stepped back.
"What happened?" The man asked.
Redop's long blade was coated with red energy, and he made a stabbing motion and made a high jump to stab Seth. Before he reached it, Seth jumped on his feet and dashed away using his staff to propel him away.
Redop slashed at Seth's back before saying, "He killed my daughter!"
The red monster Seth fought was Redop's angry daughter. She was unstable and they had been trying to cure her symptoms but failed. The Ghost that gave her powers was very possessive and dangerous. And today, right at dawn, she transformed and attacked Seth.
Seth didn't kill the monster but for now, he doesn't want Redop to know as he was trying to achieve something. As the red energy hits him and he hits the wall, Seth elevates the staff and moves onto the roof.
From there, he kept avoiding Redop attacks if he could and taking them if count, causing the whole town to wake up and also causing some damage. Somehow the buildings were very robust and strong and the reason for that was due to the frequent monster outbreak which caused a lot of infrastructure to be damaged. But making them sturdy solves that problem.
Seth fell into an alley and Redop reached there in time and stormed Seth with so many blades.
"In my name, I pierce all the armour!" Redop shouted. And the red energy changed. Seth too felt his skin chill.
"Die!"
Size Reschedule!
Seth was propelled a hundred meters in the sky, at the same time, Redop jumped and followed him.
In times of conflict, Seth's perceptions can increase to perceive things in slower motions. That's what happened at that moment.
Redop was very fast coming toward seth. Seth quickly allowed the Levitation trait to initiate but because he was wearing shifting armour, it wasn't very effective nonetheless, it's better than nothing. At the same time, he shortened the staff and pulled out a shorter sword and then shot directly at Redop.
