Capítulo 43: We Meet Again
I quickly closed my eyes when the realization hit me, trying my hardest to not let anger take over me even after knowing that anger was the trigger for the red energy. I simply didn't want to lose my self-control, and the bloodlust so far had been a little overwhelming.
'How... How are you alive! I killed you! After what you did to me I destroyed your corpse and made sure that you could never be revived even by the work of a necromancer! Then how... HOW!' It roared into my mind, only making me angrier.
"You want to know how?" I asked it with a slight smirk to cover my rage.
'Bastard! How dare you smile! Just because you can use some silly trick to beat me doesn't mean you are stronger!' Its voice thundered in my mind once again and caused a vein to bulge on my forehead.
'I'm going to kill this bastard...' I thought to myself before shaking my head as if that action would have gotten rid of those thoughts.
"Let me tell you... How I did it..." I spoke, but unlike the last few times I had spoken, there was a strange authority within my voice that caused the T-Rex to shiver and shut up even while technically being on its death bed.
I didn't understand why or how he could understand me, but I could only guess that it was due to his little sound ability. That is the only way the two of us could speak like this without having a language barrier.
Slowly, I walked up to the T-Rex, looking it in the eyes and not saying a single word the entire time. Its eyes also locked on me as I walked up to it, but it also chose to say nothing.
Unfortunately for it, I wasn't planning on speaking. In fact, I wasn't planning on saying anything to it. I just wanted to watch it die knowing nothing about my mysterious recovery. I wanted it to die while constantly asking questions.
But at that moment, a strange feeling overcame me once again, making me mutter a few words before...
"You've grown old..." I said while closing my eyes and grabbing my spear.
'Hey! What are you doing!?' It asked with a voice that tricked my eyes into thinking that its scales had become pale.
"Let me put you to rest..." I let out a subtle wry smile, one that was not filled with malice or anger. It was a warm smile that would have made anyone fall for my act as being one of kindness.
However, the T-Rex was not just anyone.
*ROOOOOAAAR*
I watched as its maw opened and a sudden sensation of dread hit me like a truck. Without hesitation, I quickly rolled to the side and evaded the sound wave that was about to rip me into pieces, or at the very least cover me with the blood of the T-Rex.
"I see..." My eyes narrowed at its maw, while the vision I had made it easy for me to see through it and look directly at the throat to know what happened.
"Where is it-..." I tried to whisper something under my breath, but my mouth was once again left agape when I saw that not only was my blade no longer in its maw, it had dropped into its stomach and had impaled itself within.
"Well, you're not gonna have a good time pooping hahahaha."
The T-Rex didn't seem to find my joke as amazing as I did, making both of us stand there awkwardly as I laughed while the other looked at me like it wanted to end my life right there and then.
"Huh!?" My laughing immediately stopped when I noticed something strange happening. I could see the energy within it move faster than it had before, while the natural aura that had been surrounding it also became oddly chaotic in a sense.
I could taste its desire to kill me, while at the same time feeling all my dread alarms go off at the same time whenever it looked at me with those bloodshot eyes.

"Oh shiii-"
*BOOM*
The instant it had opened its mouth, I was forced to brace myself for impact while making sure that I wouldn't hit any of the trees behind me, therefore making me have to think quickly on how I would position myself depending on the direction the sound wave came.
My stupidity was only recognized after I felt powerful energy hit my crossed arms and shattered the bone armor on both my chest and arms into pieces.
I was immediately launched back forcing me to slide and tumble before hitting one of the trees that I wasn't able to evade in time.
While feeling immense pain coming from all parts of my body, I did not want to waste time grimacing in pain and immediately kicked up, standing tall once again but now wearing a cold and determined expression rather than the relaxed one I wore before.
"You can still stand?" Its voice boomed and even caused me to lose balance for a bit. It didn't use the same trick it had done last time but I could easily tell why.
A sharp pain came out of my ear, but since I could still hear and there wasn't any blood trickling out, I didn't care. The pain was there, but I could only think of one thing the entire time.
'This is nothing compared to last time.' I shouted at myself and quickly clenched to help me ignore the pain or at the very least resist it to a certain extent.
I let out another breath as I moved my hand back to grab my spear, something that caused me to wince in pain while shaking a little the moment I felt it.
I knew that none of my bones were actually broken, nevertheless, the pain was still there to indicate that there was some kind of injury that I should be worrying about.
I let out another breath and pointed the tip of my spear towards the head of the T-Rex, my eyes flaring up in rage and determination once again while my face continuously scrunched up every time the pain hit me.
I've lived a life of peace. I hadn't fought a life or death battle before coming to this era, so of course, something as basic as the pain would throw me off my game.
"This is nothing!" A spoke with the same authoritarian voice as before while trying to replicate the thing that the T-Rex had done without success.
"Hahahahah! For a small bipedal like you, you do have a lot of courage! Even after having been completely decimated by my attack last time, you still came back for more with your little revival trick? One question though... How did you do it?" The T-Rex started off laughing but eventually changed to a much more sinister and serious tone by the end of it.
"How about I give you a first-hand experience?" I smirked in response.
"You? A first-hand experience?! You think you can beat m-" It couldn't even finish its sentence since it had immediately been interrupted by the loud sound of an explosion, followed by the kicking up of a dust cloud that reached several meters in height and width.
[Hp: 72/115]
[Mana: 2/20]
Having shrouded my foot with the red energy, I slammed my foot onto the ground below me with all the power I could muster, creating a dust cloud that would have stopped the T-Rex from seeing me as long as it did not have any ability like my eyes.
My body blurred once again and blitzed past the dust cloud and appeared on one of the trees out of the T-Rex's line of sight, and from what I could see, that was the right call to make.
I watched as it opened its maw, but quickly turned away and jumped to the next tree, and then the next, and then the next while making sure that I did not lose momentum between every jump.
*ROOOOAAAR*
*BOOM*
A sound wave traveled towards the dust cloud that I had created before parting it and eradicating the trees behind it, turning most of them into pieces of their previous form while even grinding the closest ones into dust.
'Good thing I moved in time...' I thought as my eyes trailed off and trained themselves onto the destruction they saw in front of me.
However, I quickly smacked my cheeks lightly and closed my eyes to calm myself once again.
'Why do I always feel like I'm about to break? Like I'm about to let go of some kind of emotion that would eventually lead to the end of me? I feel like the moment I begin to stop caring would also be the moment where something catastrophic leaves my body to reign havoc on to the world'
I slapped my cheeks lightly again, and with my spear in hand, I dashed towards the T-Rex while being shrouded in the red energy that was seeping out of my body.
My eyes locked onto the creature and allowed me to locate all its weak spots or at least the ones that I could reach.
Of course just like last time, the maw was the best place to aim, yet it would be too predictable since I had already done it twice before.
*Thud*
