Chapter 150: Killed In Seconds (Part 2)

---) Haste: Increases the user’s Agility by 100 points for five minutes.

---) Charge: Increases the user’s Strength by 150 points for one minute.

====

As Evan activated the skills of the Arastine Boots, his Strength and Agility increased dramatically, both reaching over 650 points.

Bang!

With a single flap of his wings, Evan broke the sound barrier and appeared right in front of the paralyzed Wyvern’s giant face.

’Only four seconds...’ His eyes gleamed with a cold light as a golden glow appeared around his fist and he activated Sky Fall.

At the same time, he activated Touch of Thunder to increase Sky Fall’s power by another 30%.

On top of that, because the Wyvern was more than fifteen levels higher than him, he received an additional 10% boost from his Slayer title.

Not only that, but because he was inside a dungeon, he received another 10% boost from his Conqueror title.

Combined with his terrifying stats and the power of his skills, the instant he activated Sky Fall, a mountain-like pressure engulfed the surrounding area, making the ground sink inward.

Like a meteorite, Evan’s fist came crashing down and slammed into the Wyvern’s forehead.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A terrifying explosion shook the area for hundreds of meters, and the thirty-meter-long Wyvern was sent flying backward without any resistance.

The scales on its head cracked, and its skull sank inward, with blood flowing from the wound.

However, Evan didn’t stop there, as he knew this attack wasn’t enough to kill a powerful monster like the Wyvern.

As the monster flew backward from the force of his punch, Evan grabbed its scales and continued moving along with it.

’Three seconds!’

He estimated how long the Wyvern would remain paralyzed and, without hesitation, continued punching its forehead with all his strength.

He didn’t use Touch of Thunder again, as he was running low on Mana, and relied solely on Sky Fall.

However, even those punches caused its already-cracked skull to fracture further, making the Wyvern feel immense pain.

It wanted to roar in agony and escape, but the paralysis effect of a Rank Three skill was extremely powerful, and it couldn’t break free.

The monster continued to be blasted backward by Evan’s punches without crashing to the ground, while Evan clung to it like a leech, refusing to let go.

While punching the Wyvern, Evan suddenly began headbutting it as if he were possessed by a evil spirit.

Thanks to his incredibly high Agility, he managed to headbutt the Wyvern thirty times in just two seconds.

When he delivered the thirtieth headbutt, a notification flashed before his eyes.

[Headbutt skill effect activated. Your enemy will remain dazed for the next three seconds.]

---) Headbutt: Only those who have shattered the skull of their enemy with a headbutt have a chance of acquiring this skill. When you use Headbutt, there is a 5% chance that your enemy will become dazed for 3 seconds.

(This skill is at its maximum level and cannot evolve.)

Evan had acquired the Headbutt skill after killing the Colossal Giant Skeleton and conquering the Skeleton Graveyard Dungeon. (Chapter 53)

He had felt that four seconds wouldn’t be enough to kill the Wyvern, so he had used Headbutt to daze it for another three seconds.

Once the Wyvern fell into a daze, Evan didn’t use Headbutt again. Banging his head against the Wyvern’s hard scales was extremely painful, and his head was already bleeding.

On top of that, he was pushing his body to its limit and was still punching the monster like a madman.

BOOM!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

One punch after another landed on the Wyvern, and Evan soon ran out of Mana.

But even after his Mana was depleted, he continued punching the same spot with his raw strength.

[Critical Hit!]

[Critical Hit!]

[Critical Hit!]

Evan delivered more than sixty punches during those three seconds, and the effect of his newly acquired title, EXTERMINATOR, activated three times, making the Wyvern’s injuries even more severe.

BOOOOOOM!

Evan delivered one final punch, and the Wyvern’s already-sunken head could no longer withstand the force and its skull finally shattered.

Bang!

The force of the punch destroyed its brain, and a Rank Two monster died without being able to do anything.

Alice and the others didn’t even glance at the notifications announcing their successful dungeon clear and their eyes remained fixed on the unbelievable scene before them.

Watching Evan literally punch a Wyvern to death without giving it even a chance to struggle was so shocking that they felt goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

"This..." Liam took a step backward and fell onto his butt, pointing at Evan with a trembling finger. "Is this guy still human?"

"Less than five seconds..." Alice muttered softly. "He killed that Rank Two Wyvern in less than five seconds."

"Can you even call him a Rank One Evolver anymore?" Kevin asked, the corners of his mouth twitching. He felt as though Evan had been fooling them all along and that his actual level was far higher than what he had shown them.

"Cough!"

Evan, who had collapsed to the ground immediately after the Wyvern’s death, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and hissed in pain as sharp aches coursed through his body.

Alice and the others’ expressions changed when they saw this, and they immediately rushed toward him.

"Heal!"

Kevin quickly used his healing skill on Evan, and some color returned to his pale face.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked as she took out a healing potion and helped him drink it.

As he drank the potion, Evan felt the pain caused by pushing his body beyond its limits gradually subside and he sighed in relief.

"Thanks, I am fine," He said as he struggled to sit up.

Seeing that he seemed to be all right, the others sighed in relief. When they had seen him coughing up blood, they had thought he had suffered serious injuries during the fight without their noticing.

Liam looked closely at the dead Wyvern, and when he saw that its head had been reduced to a pulp, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Are you sure you are a Rank One Evolver?"

Evan followed Liam’s gaze, and when he saw the Wyvern’s condition, his mouth twitched slightly as well.

’I was so excited at the thought of getting its Mana Core that I went a bit overboard,’ He thought to himself, shaking his head.

"Hey, can you tell me what happened earlier?" Evan suddenly heard Erza’s curious voice and turned to look at her.

"What are you talking about?" He asked in confusion.

"That Wyvern..." Erza pointed at the dead monster. "That guy was clearly planning to fly into the sky to make things difficult for us. But then it suddenly stopped moving and let you beat it to death without making a sound. Can you tell me what trick you used to make it so obedient?"

"Yes, yes..." Liam nodded as well. "Other than that, tell me why you were banging your head against that monster’s. Were you trying to see whose head was harder?"

Evan was speechless when he heard Liam’s words, but he still explained calmly, "It was because of the paralysis effect of one of my skills that the Wyvern couldn’t move and let me kill it without putting up any resistance."

"Paralysis..." Alice’s eyes gleamed slightly when she heard his words, and she recalled the faint arcs of lightning she had noticed around the Wyvern’s body earlier.

’A lightning skill... Could it be the same internal skill he learned while coming back with us?’

Erza also showed a look of realization and finally understood why the monster hadn’t resisted.

"As for the headbutting..." Evan paused before continuing with an awkward expression. "That’s also because of one of my skills..."

As he spoke, he explained his Headbutt skill and how he had acquired it.

Alice and the others were speechless after hearing about the skill, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

"You acquired this skill because you shattered the skull of the Colossal Giant Skeleton General with a headbutt?" Alice asked with a strange look.

Evan nodded and sighed as he recalled how close he had come to death during his fight against the Colossal Skeleton General.

"What is that?" Kevin suddenly noticed something near the dead Wyvern’s leg and walked forward.

Evan and the others looked at him and saw that he had picked up a skill scroll.

Without even looking at its details, Kevin handed the scroll directly to Evan.

Evan didn’t refuse and took the skill scroll from Kevin.

He looked at its details, and his expression instantly turned strange.
