I Got A Title: Lord Of The Time!-Chapter 65: Fight against the strange Distorted creature!
Chapter 65: Fight against the strange Distorted creature!
The group’s eyes instantly widened when they saw the Distorted creature!
"Isn’t that... a Distorted creature made from humans?" Lin immediately asked, staring at the creature ahead.
The newly appeared Distorted creature had a very bizarre form for something of nature: it had three human legs, its torso was so massive it could fit several adult people inside. On each side of its body was a human arm, twisting and lashing through the air as if trying to grab something. And this Distorted creature had two heads!
And both heads looked quite ferocious, like wild beasts clad in human flesh!
It was quite literally a mistake of nature!
Royal nodded.
"Most likely, two humans got Distorted and turned into this."
Aran smiled and stretched a little, slowly pulling a dagger from his clothes and saying:
"This is going to be interesting. I’ve never fought a creature like that before."
Lin sighed and willed the system to show the stats of this Distorted creature:
[Distorted Creature: Flaming Human Spider.]
[Rank: Beast.]
[Abilities:
— "Suffering — Strength (Lv.1)"
— "Flaming Projectiles (Lv.1)".]
[Description: Once there were two people, but they became Distorted and turned into this!]
"Two skills..." Lin was surprised when he saw that this Distorted creature had two abilities!
He wanted to read them to get some idea of what they were up against when the Distorted creature suddenly attacked!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed through the forest, forcing the group to split up!
"Quickly check its abilities! For now, avoid any attacks — a creature with two skills is definitely not ordinary!" Royal shouted quickly.
Lin nodded and, while running away from the Distorted creature, looked at its two skills:
[Skill Name: Suffering — Strength.]
[Skill Type: Passive.]
[Description: After receiving any kind of physical damage, the creature experiences immense pain that cannot be dulled. However, it becomes physically stronger as a result.]
[Skill Name: Flaming Projectiles.]
[Skill Type: Active.]
[Description: Ten flaming projectiles in the shape of cones appear around the creature. They can ignite the target and create large holes in them, but controlling them is a difficult task.]
Seeing the information about the two skills on the blue screen, Lin thought:
"Interesting abilities... "Suffering — Strength" is a physical passive skill that grants power through pain and suffering... It’s easy to counter if the opponent is killed in a few strikes. And "Flaming Projectiles" — an elemental skill that requires good control, and this creature..." Lin looked at the Distorted creature and smiled.
"...has none."
"Aaarrgh!!!" the Distorted creature roared so loudly that the wind parted. It looked at the three people running away from it and activated its ability: "Flaming Projectiles!"
Ten flaming cone-shaped projectiles, about the size of ping pong balls, appeared around its torso. They began spinning rapidly, forming a fiery ring that could kill anyone who dared approach!
A second later, it roared again and launched the ten cone-shaped projectiles in various directions!
Whoosh!
One of the projectiles struck a tree, creating a huge hole!
Whoosh!
Another cone-shaped projectile flew toward Aran, who simply smirked and easily dodged it.
Whoosh!
Other projectiles flew in various directions, striking surfaces and creating rather large holes in them!
"I have a plan!" Royal dodged a projectile and shouted to everyone.
"And what is it?!" Aran asked as he ran from the Distorted creature.
"Lin and I will try to get close to it. I’ll activate my skill and gain power from light, and Lin will use his skill to transport me near the creature safely. You’ll use your skill and approach it from the rear. Once I start slashing, you start too!"
"That way, we can kill it quickly without giving it time to adapt to the pain and grow stronger!" he finished and dodged another attack from the creature.
Aran grinned and suddenly vanished from sight!
Lin heard Royal’s plan and nodded.
Only two people remained in the forest as the Distorted creature chased after Royal. He yelled:
"Draw its attention while I activate my skill!"
Lin didn’t answer and simply ran after the Distorted creature. Once he reached the distance where he could land a cut, he swung his katana!
Whoosh!
Clang!
The blade struck as if it hit solid rock and only left a small scratch on the Distorted creature’s skin!
"Aaarrgh!" the Distorted creature roared in pain and began thrashing wildly, destroying everything in its path!
That gave Royal time to retreat, but Lin stared at it with a puzzled expression.
"That was just a tiny scratch... Could it really be enough to activate its ability?"
He sighed, decided to ignore it, and continued provoking the creature to make it chase him!
Meanwhile, Royal had already activated his skill: "Power of Light!"
Light gathered around him, forming a golden aura that radiated divine presence!
"Only a 1.5x boost... But it should be enough if everything goes according to plan."
Royal charged at the Distorted creature at high speed as it chased Lin!
"Lin, run toward me!" he shouted quickly.
Lin nodded, turned around, and sprinted toward Royal!
"Everyone get ready!" Royal pulled out his golden two-handed sword and swung it to the side!
As Lin reached Royal, the Distorted creature was right behind them — in a rather unusual way.
How? It leapt into the air and flew toward Lin, who was now standing next to Royal!
Just as it was a few meters away from them, it suddenly slowed down!
Everything within a five-meter radius was in a slowed state, as if time itself had been reduced!
But Lin had actually slowed time using his skill: "Slow Motion Perception!"
He sighed and looked at the ugly body of the Distorted creature. Though he never called anything "ugly", this creature was different.
Just seeing it triggered a natural revulsion, which he tried to suppress but couldn’t completely erase.
"Either way, you’re going to die now," he said as he moved Royal’s body aside and jumped up to reach the Distorted creature.
Lin landed quickly with the body in his arms and gently set it down, as if it were a light task.
This was because anything inside this time-slowed area, especially in the air, became much lighter.
Though it still took some effort.
Grabbing Royal’s body, he placed it right next to the Distorted creature.
And at that moment, the skill’s duration ended.
The time-slowed area instantly vanished, and the Distorted creature — which was about to crash into the ground — hit it immediately!
"W-what?" Royal was momentarily confused, but a second later, he regained his composure and shouted:
"Aran, now!" He raised his sword and began striking!
Aran appeared too and began stabbing the Distorted creature with his dagger!
Lin stood to the side, not quite understanding what was going on.
...
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Aran gave Royal a few slaps to snap him back to reality.
"Did we kill it?" he asked.
Aran laughed and nodded.
"Not just killed — we dismembered it!"
