Karas started to sneak through the windows again, he made a plan, and it may really work this time. Although his hands are growing numb from gripping the poles, he merely grits his teeth from the pain.
He started to lure both the cockroaches and the frozen hound in a single location, a location with a place he can hide and use to his advantage.
He started removing his loots from the inventory that’s edible and placed them on the floor.
After a while, he finally managed to lure the frozen hound with much difficulty to a double-doored room. The room is like an office, the door that the frozen hound walked into is the terrace connecting the two rooms.
He looked at his watch: “Five minutes left.”
And just like that, he pulled a string with all he got, a door opened behind the frozen hound while the one that it entered from closed!
Immediately, all of the cockroaches started to enter the room in groups!
There is a vent here, unlike the rest, it’s quite massive in size and Karas is able to enter it!
The frozen hound may seem rather threatening and brave, but it’s not heading to the group of cockroaches, clearly, it itself knows its limit.
That many cockroaches will not only injury it, it also has a chance of being killed.
The two are merely feeling each other out, for the frozen hound, the cockroaches are mere food, but for the cockroaches, the frozen hound is a chance for another evolution!
He smirked, he’s moving as silently as he can, it’s really hard though, as, a person with a body as heavy as his to move in the thin unmaintained vent, it’s taking every ounce of strength he has.
Note that he’s also having a hard time breathing as he wants to stay as silent as he could.
The cockroaches are cowards, but they are scheming, they’re not moving and blocking the frozen hound’s path.
If they are given a chance, they’ll definitely take it and gang up on it with everything they have.
And Karas right now is looking for a chance to give them the tiny bit of push they need.
The frost hound has thick skin due to its ice property, but the disadvantage of it is, it lacks senses such as touch, and the most important for a hound… is its sense of smell!
Evolving can both have advantages and disadvantages, so, one needs to choose what they eat to evolve the way that they wanted to, else they want to be a hybrid.
Karas continuously made his way around, and then, he made his way just above the frost hound’s body, he can see it through the grills, a smile formed on his lips.
He started to look for something useful that’s sold in the store to help him and saw some things that cost around 10 points each.
[Bungee RopeRank: Common
Info: can be used to jump from high places or just having fun
Price: 10 points / meter]
“………………………” He became quite speechless for a while: ‘Let’s buy two meters for now.’
As he bought it, it immediately appeared on his inventory, it’s quite handy as he can actually attach it anywhere due to the sticky part of it.
He immediately equipped it and then, took his sword out and placed it in between his feet, he immediately opened the grill and with a wicked smile he jumped down!
“What’s up Mofu!!!” Karas didn’t even need any momentum as his sheer weight did the job.
The frozen hound reacted a little late as the sword pierced right through its body!
“Graowu!”
-124 HP!!!
“Adios!” Karas smirked, but he didn’t expect that the bungee rope would take so much time to pull him up!
“I should’ve studied harder!”
The frozen hound stabbed by the sword on its back immediately noticed Karas, its maw opened immediately and bit unto Karas’s left foot!
“Gaaaaah!” The pain, the fangs of the hound dug deep into his flesh reaching all the way to his bones!
The chilling frost energy from the hound is starting to eat his flesh and bones like poison invading his body!
“D*mn it!” He couldn’t help but curse out, the hound actually caught him due to his slow ascension, and now, he’s stuck!
The frozen hound is holding him midair and the bungee rope is not pulling him up!
“Let go!” Karas started shouting as he used his right leg to kick at the frozen hound’s face, but the latter isn’t bulging because his strength is too weak.
The frozen hound isn’t even wagging its head as it wheezes from the sheer pain it received from being pierced by the sword.
At this moment though, the cockroaches started to approach.
Karas couldn’t help but smile wryly, if this is to happen, he’ll most likely going to end up as cockroach dinner!
“Let go you cold-hearted mutt! If you want to die, die on your own!” He continued kicking, but at this time, when the cockroaches arrived, the frozen hound lets go and started backing to a wall.
The injury from its body had already closed due to the freezing effect of its body, pain is gone as well.
But clearly, the damage is there as it limped its way.
Karas hurriedly climbed the rope with all he got.
“Yeah, die alone!”
“No worries, I’ll try to land the last hit!”
The cockroaches didn’t pay attention to Karas, as Karas is but meat to them, but for the frozen hound, it’s not only for their survival but for their future evolution as well!
Karas groaned from the pain he felt, the coldness that pierced through his bones is still there as the grima continuously annoyed him to death.
Marks of his left leg being frostbitten is there as well: “My left leg is basically useless now…”
The numbing sensation isn’t really quite a nice feeling as the shock continuously irritates him, Not only that, it’s also quite painful as you can feel it wholly with the warm part of your body. But what can he do? He can only bear with it till the time is up! With nothing else to do but to wait, he looked down and watched as the cockroaches surround the frozen hound.
[(B) Frozen HoundLvl: 12
HP: 71/202]
Although its HP is bigger than the cockroaches by two to three times, it still kept being drained as the sword is impaled in its body.
It still has its massive attack damage that dealt more than -50 HP to Karas with a single bite.
Left with only 9 HP, Karas has no intention of doing anything else than to take the last hit. Luckily, it’s no poison, else, he would’ve died already.
“One minute…” Karas couldn’t help but smile, but he started to breathe heavier as the wound is taking a toll on him.
