The Adventurer System

the fragile surface that was made from the ice was starting to have straight two cuts as the white grasshopper used its ice blades to become an ice skate.

"How has this is become possible?! This monster could improvise its body to make it useful for them." Yumiro uttered while dumbfounded at the monster for a couple of seconds.

In 15 meters distance, the white grasshopper easily closed the gap into 3 meters in just 1.05 seconds. Although it had a heavy body, the monster was still able to manipulate it without having any difficulties.

"Tch! This is frustrating." Yumiro promptly shifted his position to a different direction as he thought the monster will attack straight forward.

He went to the right side even though he seemed to fall. In his perspective was the right side enormous body of the monster which gave him eagerness to attack since he already saw the monster's weakness.

"This monster would take time before it can shift its trajectory, so I'll just test out its power." He murmured then used gathered 10% of his strength to use his both arms and legs.

[Physical transmission]

Red gleaming light flowed inside his body, circulating to the place where he wanted to enhance.

[Dash]

He reddened feet clenched to the surface, to wouldn't easily stumble. His speed increased while planning to use his hands since the place wasn't suitable for his taekwondo technique.

He widely swung his arm, then leaped into the mid-air. He was aiming at the monster's body as he was thinking how it will react.

Swoosh!

As soon as his left bare hand near to touch the monster's body, the white grasshopper pierced its 4 feet on the surface, so it could easily shift its position.

Creek!

Portions of ice were flying to the mid-air, and the monster was already faced right in the adventurer's direction. It had smirked on its face while swinging its ice blade upwards, it seemed this monster had more intelligence than the other monsters he fought.

"This is bad..." Yumiro knitted his forehead as he knew in his position right now he wasn't able to defend himself from the monster attack.

Swoosh!

The monster's ice blade created a keen sound as it already released perfectly.

Yumiro crossed his arms down to him, so the rusty gauntlets would be absorbed the attack.

Bam!

Even though his arms touched into the monster's blade, yet the massive force was enough to send him into the ceiling where was the dangerous spot on the tenth floor since the sharp cornices there could pierce him.

Swoop!

"Ahh!" Yumiro screamed after one of those cornices pierced his right shoulder. Red blood was slowly dripping to his body, nevertheless, he was lucky since just one sheath of ice stabbed his body.

He was stuck on it since the ice pierced him that had 14 inches long. So, he placed his left hand on his right shoulder, then slowly tugged himself as the monster under him seems will launch a follow-up attack.

[Grim Draigh. HP:1098]

[Warning! The bleeding passive effect is activated!]

The monster crossed its ice blades while glowing it with strong brightness. More likely, the white grasshopper was gathering a magical power for its upcoming attack that seemed could separate the adventurer body into two pieces.

"Come on, fall..." Yumiro furrowed his brows after seeing his body releasing too much blood as he forcing himself to escape in his position. "Ahh!"

Click!

Yumiro destroyed the origin of the keen ice which means he was falling with the object that pierced him. Now, his main problem here, how he supposedly landed on the surface without taking any damages from the monster attack.

The intense brightness was getting stronger and stronger as he came closer to the monster. While falling a cold breeze touching upon his skin made him comfortable.

"Which core?" He asked himself, then seeing the monster glaring red eyes. "No, I can't make it. The transformation takes time."

He was in the mid-air right now, with no walls to shift his position. Or to be exact, no object around him that could help him to dodge the monster's attack.

Swoosh!

White grasshopper swung its both blades at the same time, then released elevating ice blade that perfectly into the adventurer.

[Tempest blade]

It was the magical skill of the white grasshopper also one of the strongest skills it had since it was acquired by true damage.

In the VR world, the true damage is one of the dangerous attacks of an adventurer neither the monsters. To be exact, no matter how good your defensive item but the skill or the attack was directly hit, your health power will be decreased depends on how much true damage you had.

"Inventory!" Then suddenly, a new idea popped inside his mind, seemed like spatial magic appeared beside him. Then pulled out a heavy weapon that he received when he fought in the duel match.

In his grasps was the level 2 large axe. "I thought, I can't use this..." He murmured, then used it to cover his body from the massive damage.

Boom!

Ice particles were shattered as soon as it landed on the adventurer. The level 2 axe was loosened in his grasps, so it was sent far away from him.

[Grim Draigh HP:995]

Moreover, because of the axe, Yumiro was able to decrease the damage he received by 50 health points, also the deep wound that will affect him.

Thud!

Yumiro hardly fell to the ground. His body was full of scratches and bruises, yet it was still not enough for him to pass out.

"I can fight..." Yumiro said with a weak tone while slowly pushing himself to regain his position.

"G-Grim, are you okay?" Asarki asked him with a trembled voice.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. I already know what kind of monster's core I'll use to defeat this white grasshopper." He patted his body and didn't mind pulling the keen ice on his back since the coldness of it helped him to stop the blood.

"Thank God!" Asarki sighed with relief.

The monster in front of him still had smirked on its face, seemed like it wanted to mock the adventurer to lost his focus.

"Let us see if you can smile after this." Yumiro clenched his hand into a fist. "Asarki, one last question?" He asked.

"Tell me, what is it?" She responded.

"What is the great counter from the ice?" He snickered, then took one core out of his inventory.

"It's obvious it's fire... Why?" Her eyelids widened after she quickly realised what Grim Draigh trying to say. "Don't tell me, you can use fire magic?"

"Watch..."

Gulp! Gulp!
