Overwhelming Victory

On the ceiling of the pseudo-dungeon, Akaya looked at his trembling right arm. The skin below his wrist had been torn off, blood gushing out, exposing raw red flesh. By forcibly activating a combination of unfamiliar skills, his muscle fibers had swollen to the point where they couldn't return to their original shape after the skill was deactivated. This was the terrifying nature of skills that involve physical transformation. By using Power Boost ×3, Akaya unleashed his maximum theoretical firepower, but the cost was steep.

(My right arm... I can't move my fingers...)

Wincing from the intense pain, Akaya glanced upwards. In his inverted field of vision, he saw the crater on the ground. At the bottom of the crater lay the deer-man. There was a large hole in its chest, and it was clearly beyond recovery.

Akaya Makoto had defeated it—the terrifying deer-man.
