章 62: A Fierce Battle with the Monstrous Cat
'Was that, Carl?!' Lucius thought as the entire battlefield suddenly went quiet.
Everybody, from Markus and the A-grade monster he was fighting, to the lowest-graded monsters, all stopped for a moment and stared at the green wind with fear.
The weakest monsters that were hit by the wind collapsed on the ground as their bodies looked as if they were drained. They died instantly while the more powerful monsters seemingly lost their power as they became gray-colored, just like the cat.
Everything the wind touched turned gray, losing all signs of vitality.
Those who were still alive could regain their vitality and strength by resting for some time, but this was a battlefield, and losing your power and defense like they had meant that they were now weaker than even the weakest monsters and could be killed easily.
About 3 C-grade monsters had been hit by the wind, and they fared no better as their bodies lost all color and they became weaker than normal.
'He has two abilities, incredible.' Markus thought before hitting the giant monster and resuming his battle.
'No wonder he was so confident, such a powerful ability, to think he would have something like that on top of the bone ability as well.' Lucius thought before shaking his head, for now, he had to focus on defeating his own enemy.
As for Isabella, she had merely glanced at Carl's direction with interest before fighting the ape again.
'When did he get such an ability, he only got the bone one recently.'
'Carl, just who the hell are you?'
The large cat screamed in pain before kicking back with its leg, but thanks to the bone blade that had managed to penetrate through the entire leg, Carl was simply lifted off the ground, not kicked away.
"You damn cat, behave!" Carl said with a crazed look on his face before using his other hand to penetrate the leg from the side before pulling out the blade that he used to stab through the leg the first time.
The cat once again screamed in pain before rolling on the ground, which made Carl feel an intense weight fall on him, making him feel as if his bones were about to break. The bone blade that he used to stab through the side of the leg was thankfully not damaged, as was his arm, so he quickly pulled it out before jumping to the side.
One of his bone blades suddenly retracted before he opened his palm and extended it forward.
Suddenly, several smaller bone spikes were launched from his palm, all aimed at the cat.
With its fur losing almost all the defensive property it once had, the spikes easily penetrated through it, causing the cat to feel great pain.
The cat suddenly turned around, one of its back legs obviously not working as well as before as the cat was not putting a lot of weight on it.
The brown skin that had covered its legs was also gray, and what was once thick, durable skin that was also a bit oily in order to make it harder for hits to land on it, now looked like dry skin that was about to crack, which was why Carl had been able to stab through it so easily.
"No longer running away, kitty-cat?" Carl asked the cat that was staring at him with great anger. The cat sprung forward, but its immense speed was no longer there and Carl easily evaded the attack before using his bone blade to stab at the cat's throat, but it managed to use its paw to hit Carl and push him to the side.
'Even when being so severely weakened, it's able to fight back quite a bit.' Carl thought as he glanced at his bone blade before grinning savagely at the cat.
"Well, if a blade doesn't work, let's make it something else!"
The bone blade suddenly started growing as more bones suddenly came out of Carl's arm. All the way from his shoulder to his hand, bones started growing and covered his arm in what looked like a bone gauntlet covering his entire arm.
The gauntlet wasn't there for just defense, no, it was connected to the large blade that was no present.
His entire arm was no longer visible, it was completely white, and a large blade that was about 1.5 meters long appeared from where his hand was previously.
As for his other arm, it also got covered in bones while the hand turned into a bone hammer.
The hammer started from the hand and was about 1 meter long, ending with the hammerhead that was half a meter wide and about 30cm ( 12 inches ) tall. Carl launched forward and attacked the cat that tried to swat him again, but he used his long and thick blade to stab through the paw before hitting it with the hammer, breaking a bone or two, and using it as leverage to move himself up.
The blade was 1.5 meters long and curved, it was about 3cm ( slightly over 1 inch ) thick and it was about 30cm wide. The upper part of the blade was blunt while the lower one was where the blade was.
Carl slashed upwards, cutting the cat's face as he managed to get high in the air. The cat tried to bite him, but his blade managed to inflict a 20cm deep gash that started from its chin and went all the way to the forehead.
The cat roared in pain and anger as two bone spikes suddenly came out of Carl's waist, stabbing through the cat's body before he broke them and placed his feet on them, using them as footholds.
Suddenly, Carl jumped higher up in the air, landing on top of the cat's head before slamming his hammer down with full force, causing the skull to slightly crack from the blow as the cat jumped up, trying its best to get him off its body.
Carl quickly used his blade to stab through the back of the cat in order not to fall off, but the cat fell on its back, almost squishing him and causing him to cough out some blood.
His blade had a couple of small cracks on it, but it was still functional.
He transformed the hammer slightly, adding a spike at both ends. Both spikes were 25cm (10 inches) long and a bit narrow. He used that to hit another leg, penetrating through it with the spike before the hammer almost snapped the leg in two.
Just as the cat was to hit Carl with the leg, he suddenly put his head down as a part of his back opened, the skin ripped itself as a very long bone came out. It went all the way up to the side of the cat before stabbing through it.
The bone was very similar to the spine, and Carl used it as a rope, one that automatically brought him up, allowing him to dodge the blow and strike the cat from the side with his hammer, causing it great pain.
He continued doing the same, for several minutes, Carl was running around and jumping as he used his hammer to strike the cat and his blade to inflict large and deep cuts on its body.
Its blood had formed a puddle beneath its body as the cat had already slowed down even more and was no longer Carl's opponent.
He stared at the cat with a crazed smile as he ran with all his might before jumping with full force, easily reaching the height of the cat's head as he transformed his blade into another hammer.
Both of the hammers were even larger than before, and they both had one long and thick spike at one end.
He used that to hit the cat's forehead. Usually, hitting the forehead was a bad idea since it was the toughest part of the skull, but the wind had made not only the skin brittle, but also the bones, That was the reason Carl was able to break some of its bones so easily as usually, a strike of Carl's wouldn't be enough to even crack the cat's bones.
The cat's head cocked backward as the skull cracked and blood came out of its forehead.
Its two horns had already been broken before, and Carl had no idea what they were even for. The system had told him that the cat was probably able to use an ability or an attack with the help of the horns, but since the wind had weakened it so much, it wasn't able to, and even if it was, Carl was constantly moving around, so it was highly possible it couldn't hit him.
Just as Carl had smashed the forehead with his hammers, he noticed that the remainder of the horns suddenly glowed as flickers of yellow lightning appeared there.
"Huh?" Carl asked with a confused expression as he was right between the two horns, and suddenly, the lightning from each horn moved, striking him from both sides.
