BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14 Just What He Needed
[New mission: Kill the enemy]
[Enemy killed: 0]
[Enemy to be killed: 1]
He held half of his face, his eyes gleamed dangerously with killing intent. The system did know how he felt about the situation around him.
He was beginning to see the system as a manifestation of his inner thoughts, right now he had all the more reason to act on based on the mission given.
\'Just what I needed.\'
He started with a chuckle, before it slowly turned sinister.
He couldn\'t believe just a creature such as this could cause such damage to their house and had killed what was left of his family.
It had just been two days since he had known them, yet he had grown so attached. Even though his brother was obnoxious and made his skin crawl, that was not enough reason to find joy in what had befell his family.
It was only at that moment had he realized why Aimi had been crying, why she had spelled doom for their household, why she had told him to escape.
Pulling out the sword, the figure came out of the smoke, revealing an indescribable green creature in hooded coat, trousers, gloves, and shoes, all made from mail which covered the entire body of the creature except the face which looked a lot more human than it should.
\'She was trying to save me, even during her last breath.\' His eyes brimmed with tears, fueled by untold anger towards the creature who seemed to have a plastered smug look on its face.
Rhhhng!
It gnashed it\'s revealing dangerously pointy jagged teeth.
It held a sinister smile, it\'s slit yellow eyes concentrated on its new target. Blood still dripped off the sword as it dragged it lazily on the floor.
He felt irritated that such a face was brought to this world. He had definitely not created this creature–which means there might be various other things which had evolved into his art piece and materialized here.
Nevertheless, he finally had something to vent his anger on, he had been unable to do so with Naz, but the thought of the creature being a good substitute only fueled his drive to exert himself.
He definitely couldn\'t fail this mission. He would rather die than see this creature escape from his grasp.
"You just messed with the wrong household." He yelled.
Investing his points in his health, energy, strength and agility.

He noticed the creature\'s gaze had turned towards the scroll in his hand.
"You want this?!" He raised his hand with the scroll in the air.
Rhhhng!
The creature drew up its sword, lunging forward as it aimed at his head for the kill.
Clang!
The creature\'s sword and Nix\'s scroll holder collided in the air as sparks flew off.
[Strength activated. Your blows have been increased by 50%]
\'As expected!\' He held the stance, looking down at their weapons which were locked in a deadly embrace as they continued to push against each other.
He must have been crazy to fully trust the scroll holder would work in his favor. But he had guessed correctly, this was no ordinary scroll, it came as a shock to him that such a fragile looking scroll holder could hold against this creature\'s sword.
\'Ha!\'
Unable to hide it\'s shock, the creature looked up at Nix\'s face.
It opened its mouth, a green liquid brimming in it.
Sensing the danger, Nix pushed against the sword, doing a backflip. Pulling his back up straight as he stuck his landing.
His gymnastics classes were finally paying off.
[Agility activated. Your movements have been increased by 50%]
He increased his speed, gaining the distance he had created earlier as he prepared his next attack.
[Gift: Fire in effect]
[Gift: Blazing rings of fire in effect]
Using a circular motion with his feet to create multiple expandable, slicing rings of fire aimed directly at the creature.
It swiftly dodged each attack with it\'s counterattack of the liquid it spat from its mouth.
Rhhhng!!!
[Energy level: 45 points. 15 points before deactivation]
\'Damn it!\' Nix huffed, his energy was gradually declining.
He had been so focused on killing this creature without properly thinking of a plan, he had relied on his rage to augment his gift.
Instant regret came over him as it had taken a big toll on his energy points. He had to invest the remaining points in his energy stats.
[Energy level has been increased by 55 points]
[Points: 2 to be distributed]
Steadying his ragged breathing, he had to think of another way of getting close to it. His grip on the scroll holder got tighter as he glanced at the lifeless body of Aimi.
He needed to gather his thoughts, if he was to exert his revenge.
Rhhhng!
He had not noticed it before, but the creature\'s movement had quickened tremendously.
\'It\'s gotten faster?!\' His eyes widened.
Whoosh!
It closed the gap between them in a blink of an eye as it sank it\'s sword in his side.
Stab!
[Health level dropped by 30 points]
Uwaaagh!
Nix spat out blood, gasping for breath, pulling away just in time before it could raise its sword, severing his left arm in the process.
Holding onto his side and wiping the corner of his lips with his sleeve, he added pressure to the wound with his left hand. At this rate he would die if he couldn\'t utilize the time he had left to exert his revenge.
"You really do have what it takes to cause such a ruckus here. I did underestimate you." He acknowledged.
He needed to be more careful now, he had been able to do no damage to the creature yet, on the other hand, he had sustained an injury from the stabbing.
\'That sword needs to go!\' He narrowed his eyes at the weapon in the creature\'s hand.
