Chapter 395

“…”

Ming Hu was speechless when he saw the message.

“Isn’t that mean?

Ming Hu thought as he fell to the ground after attacking Ataksha.

“I can’t believe I can’t do damage.

Can’t do damage because it’s not powerful enough? What kind of bullshit is that?

Jaw

Once on the ground, Ming Hu turned away from the message and looked at Ataksha, who was still floating in the air.

“Surprised?”

Ataksha said. There was an obvious sneer at the corners of Ataksha’s mouth as she spoke.

“You’re strong. But you’re not human.”

Ataksha raised her hand as she continued to speak.

Shriek! Shriek!

Immediately after Ataxia raised her hand, the water around her froze and countless sharp-tipped ice spears began to appear. Ming Hu looked at the ever-increasing number of ice spears and thought.

“I didn’t realize it wouldn’t take damage.

It was non-damaging, meaning it couldn’t do any damage. This was a completely unexpected situation.

“This is why even with a respawn scroll…

There were now a ton of respawn scrolls in the inventory, but there was no point in trying to respawn when you couldn’t take damage.

“What a shitty case.

Ming Hu looked at Ataxia with a furrowed brow at this conundrum. Ataksha was still sneering as she produced the ice spear.

“What do I do?

Ming Hu looked at the countless spears of ice, now more than a hundred in number, and wondered: How will we dig our way out of this mess?

‘…’

But Ming Hu couldn’t think of a way to do anything. What could he do if he couldn’t damage it in the first place?

“Should I run?

The lack of options, of course, was the handling of Ataksha. In the grand scheme of things, running away was the only way to go.

“Even if you get away with it.

Finishing his thoughts, Ming Hu turned his gaze from Ataksha to Letos behind him.

“We’re going to have to get her.

Ming Hu planned to capture Letos before fleeing. He might die trying to capture Letos, but with so many resurrection scrolls, death was the least of Ming Hu’s worries.

“Where are you looking?”

Did he even realize what she was thinking? Ataksha opened her mouth to speak.

“You’re after Letos, aren’t you? You’re not a normal human being to think such thoughts in this situation. But I don’t know if I have time for that.”

The smile faded from Ataksha’s face as she spoke.

[Ataksha’s anger rages].

And then a message appeared. The moment the message appeared, Ming Hu could see the spears of ice that filled Ataksha’s surroundings move.

Squeak squeak squeak squeak

A spear of ice flying at breakneck speed.

“…after.

Ming Hu sighed to himself as he watched the ice spears rapidly close the distance. Then he sprinted toward the front, toward Letos.

Zap!

The ice spears were closing the distance quickly, even if they weren’t. As he rushed forward, the distance closed even faster, and soon the furthest ice spear exploded in a blast of fire at Ming Hu.

[Movement speed is reduced by 10% for 1 minute].

The first spear of ice crackled and a message appeared. It was a debuff message, telling him that his movement speed was reduced because he was made of ice, but Ming Hu had no time to pay attention to it.

“How sweet is it?

Ming Hu quickly checked his health. One of the ice spears exploded to see how much health he had and how long he could hold out.

Jab!

“…Hmm?

After checking his vitals, Ming Hu stopped walking and could only shake his head.

“What is it?

Stopping in his tracks, Ming Hu looked at the life force with puzzlement. Something was wrong.

Zap! Zap!

[11% movement speed reduction for 1 minute].

[11% movement speed reduction for 1 minute].

[Movement speed is reduced by 12% for 1 minute].

.

.

[Movement speed is reduced by 45% for 1 minute].

In the meantime, a window of ice continued to burn and a message appeared. The amount of movement speed reduction increased as the number of ice spears fired increased to see if the debuffs stacked.

“Huh.

But Ming Hu didn’t care about the message. No, he couldn’t. The reason Ming Hu stopped walking and shook his head, the reason he couldn’t care less about the mounting movement speed debuff. It was because of the life force being sliced away by the icy spear.

“Why is it so weak?

The health that the Ice Spear sliced away was much lower than he’d expected, meaning that its damage wasn’t as high. Of course, that was only Ming Hu’s idea.

‘1950 million…19.1 million… 18.9 million…’

Ataksha’s spear of ice was no weakling. Ming Hu’s health was rapidly dwindling. The only problem was that Ming Hu’s recovery was fast, and his total health was over 22 million.

Zap!

[Movement speed is reduced by 52% for 1 minute].

The last spear of ice exploded, and Ming Hu checked his health.

“15 million…

To be precise, Ming Hu’s health did not reach 15 million, but after a short recovery, Ming Hu’s health quickly surpassed 15 million and began to rise relentlessly.

“I don’t need to use the respawn scroll.

Ming Hu thought he was going to die before the ice spear finished hitting him, so he thought about using some resurrection scrolls, but the attack made it seem unnecessary. Ming Hu opened his inventory to check the information on an item tucked away in the corner of his inventory.

Immediately restores 30% of your maximum health

3x health regeneration for 5 minutes

Once upon a time, Life Potions were purchased in the Shrine for the Giant Wolves and their boss monster, the Werewolf Arang.

“I didn’t think I’d ever need to use it.

Ming Hu pulled out a potion and closed his inventory, thinking he would never get a chance to use it. He popped the cap off the potion and inhaled.

[30% of maximum health restored].

[Triples your health regeneration rate for 5 minutes].

As he drank the potion, a message appeared. Ming Hu checked his health and smiled with satisfaction when he saw that he hadn’t lost a single point. Continuing to smile, Ming Hu opened the skill window and checked the information for the skill in the middle.

Level: 1

Proficiencia : 0

Consume blood to restore health.

Effect: Instantly restores 30% Health

Blood Cost: 4

Cooldown: 5 minutes

An unfortunate skill that you wanted to use when you were in a hurry, but never did because you were never in a hurry.

“There’s a cool down period… but when it’s urgent.

Potions require you to drink them directly, but in the case of Blood Restoration, you can use it without any prior action. You might not have time to drink a potion after this. In that case, he could use Blood Restoration. Ming Hu closed the skill window and looked at Ataxia.

“…”

Ataksha’s mocking expression suddenly vanished. Ataksha stared at Ming Hu with a stony expression.

Ming Hu smirked at Ataksha’s stern expression and glare. Smirking, Ming Hu began to move again.

“Ugh, that’s a debuff.

Ming Hu began to move toward Letos again, frowning at the power of the debuff as soon as he moved.

“I think we have about 40 seconds left.

The message said the duration of the debuff was one minute, but a little time had passed. It had been about 20 seconds since the last spear of ice had struck, so I should be free of the debuff in about 40 seconds.

“40 seconds…

But for Ming Hu, 40 seconds was too long.

“Should I just use a necklace?

Ming Hu recalled the built-in effects of the necklace he currently wore, the Necklace of the Undying. The Necklace of the Undying had a tremendous effect, removing all harmful effects upon use and granting immunity to all ailments for one minute afterward.

“Cooldowns are a problem.

However, the 20-hour cooldown was a concern.

“Uh, what happened?”

While Ming Hu was pondering, Ataksha spoke. Ming Hu turned at the sound of Ataksha’s voice and saw Ataksha floating in the air, looking at him as she spoke.

“This can’t be happening!”

Ataksha, who was looking very puzzled, exclaimed with a look of disbelief.

Squeak squeak squeak squeak

As the chant ended, the spears of ice began to appear around Ataksha again. Ming Hu looked at the reappearing spears of ice and thought.

“…Let’s write.

I was debating whether to use it or not, but I didn’t have to. I’m still debating whether or not to use it halfway through the time, but if it fits in that window, it will not only reset the time, but it will also decrease it even more than it is now. Ming Hu immediately used the Necklace of the Undying.

[All harmful effects are removed].

[You are immune to all status ailments for the next minute].

As soon as he used the necklace, the message appeared. Ming Hu felt the pressure he had been feeling dissipate and his movement speed return to normal, his frown lifted and he smiled.

“Not dead!”

[Ataksha’s anger rages].

Soon after, a message appeared, accompanied by Ataksha’s shout. Then the countless spears of ice around Ataksha began to move.

Of course, Ming Hu didn’t care about the flying ice spears. The damage had already been checked, and the debuffs were the least of his worries.

“I hope it doesn’t hurt more?

However, the attack could have been stronger, so Ming Hu kept an eye on his health instead of the Ice Spear.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp

Soon, the ice spear began to burn, but because I was immune, I didn’t get the same message as before.

My health was also decreasing at a slower rate than before. Or, more accurately, it only felt that way because the potion had tripled his health regeneration rate.

“That’s good enough.

Ming Hu looked at his dwindling health and opened his inventory, ready to pull out a potion. He knew he wasn’t dangerously low on health, but he wanted to keep it full just in case.

Zap!

Then the last spear of ice flashed, and Ming Hu immediately took out the potion and drank it.

[30% of maximum health restored].

[Triples your health regeneration rate for 5 minutes].

The message appeared after the potion was taken, and Ming Hu continued to run toward Letos, studying Ataksha’s expression.

“…”

Ataksha said nothing. She could only stare at Ming Hu, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
