12: Ambush

While Larry had gone out, Ved had already prepared the spot for his ambush, it was with the help of dorm manager's carelessness that he had been able to get the key to Larry's room.

In the last two months, every time Larry went out for any reason Ved would go inside his room to see all the details in the room and after knowing that Larry hadn't set a trap in his room proved that he was not worried that someone would ambush him again.

Whatever reason Larry had didn't matter to him as today he would know all his secrets.

Time went by and it was 11:00 pm night time, it was around this time Larry would usually return to dorm.

As soon as the minute hand of the clock hit 12 Ved started to feel the pressure as any minute the battle to the death would begin, while he was still reviewing the plan in his mind Abby picked up Larry's movement in the vicinity, but what really shocked him was Larry's condition.

[Larry Shine. Strength: 1.3(2.4), Agility: 1.1 (2.5), Constitution: 1.7(2.8), Status: Bleeding from the back of the head, many injuries to the soft tissues, burnt on many parts of the body]

Just looking at the data shocked Ved but also caused him to feel ecstatic, because now the chances of his success had increased by 30%.

"Yes!! the guy is already too exhausted to fight, and all I have to do is give him a push and he will be taken down!" Ved nodded in excitement.

"Abby! Scan the room again and determine the most efficient method of suppressing the target with the new data!"

[Task established. Begin simulation! Begin Assist Mode!] A light flashed in front of Ved's eyes, and a panoramic, 3D image appeared before him.

Larry was facing the door of his room, today was a joyous day for him as he had finally won the opportunity that he had been fighting for the last 1 finally but because of that he was really tired finally, with much difficulty, he entered but before he could take a breather from his tiredness an attack was launched and a gleaming arrow specked with poison slashed towards him, bringing along a hot wave of air.

[Host has initiated the ambush! Most efficient method of dealing with the target: use the Dart gun to shoot with a 50-degree angle to the right, then dodge to left!]

Ved shot without a second thought as he got ready to roll towards the left side, concentrating his strength in his arm muscles as he followed the instructions, sweeping the ground with his hand to the left and striking with the dart gun away.

"Whoosh!!!" The powerful Dart flew out, and the strong recoil caused Ved's arm to feel slightly numb.

*BANG* Ved felt a shock travel up his arm from the immense impact, making him feel as though he had been struck by a thick piece of metal on his fingers.

Larry was still able to react to the arrows as predicted but he was not able to dodge the dart when he got hit he was not even able to stand at the same place as he was sent flying but before he was hit he had thrown some knives in his direction which had already been detected by Abby.

"This Larry's strength was much higher than mine but now if I keep dodging then he will be exhausted too quickly, but still I need to finish this fight quickly"

........

After one minute of fighting, they had come to stalemate "Hah… hah" Ved gasped for breath.

He now looked as if he had been fished out of a pool of sweat. His face was still covered with it, but he lacked the time to even wipe it off.

Even with Abby's help allowing him to use the most efficient methods to subdue Larry, he still felt heavily drained from the effort.

"If even I'm like this, there's no need to speak about the other people. Only people on Larry's calibre can fight him, but even they will probably be unable to last much longer. In this situation, why hasn't the venom acted yet?"

While he was thinking he felt it again, some muscle in his body has been injured again, he felt like he had been given a spasm in his legs suddenly, this sensation he had felt at least 3 times in the last few minutes, he knew that this was Larry's doing and as if clearing his doubt he heard the same word he heard 3 times before from Larry, "Silentium"

"It's appeared! The Trump card of this Larry!" Ved's eyes didn't blink. "Abby, collect data!"

[Beep! Task Established, Data Collection in progress!]

[Larry's Skill (Curse Type): After activation, Agility decreases! In the middle of Data Collection. Remaining information insufficient, unable to analyse!]

Looking at the screen in front of his eyes, Ved felt some regret, "I still can't understand how this Larry's skill is activated! But if I have some time to dissect him like a guinea pig, then I might just be able to understand....."

[Calculation of wind speed and temperature in progress! Calculation of trajectory complete!]

Following Abby's calculated trajectory, Ved pulled the trigger of the dart gun.

"Pu!!!" The dart entered through the left sleeves of Larry's shirt, and hit him just below his heart. Larry tried to shout twice for help before, crumpling to the floor.

"The advantage I have with Abby in this kind of high-accuracy work is really too great! A dart gun isn't like a normal gun; all you have to do is aim and pull the trigger. It's so convenient!"

Ved compared the differences between him fighting barehanded before, and using the dart gun. "It looks like I'm more suited long-distance attacks. This is also much safer. It's just that I still have no idea how to cope up with what Larry used, I think I will decide after getting his secrets"
