The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 45
Chapter 45: How To Squeeze A Hound Dry
Although it seemed very threatening, the capture of Star Color didn’t cause any substantial physical damage. Of course, if there was a weapon that could be used by Star Color, it would be a different matter. Star Color could pick up a weapon and attack. It was just that there was no weapon in the ruins that the Star Color could use. But… it was good that the Hound got caught.
By this time, Tindalos had emerged from the darkness.
Because this stupid game itself did not know how to shape those indescribable creatures, which were simply given a well-known appearance, the invisible creature such as the Hound was given the shape of a Hound. It was just a little too… ugly in appearance? In the strange fog, the Hound was grabbed by Star Color. It got away from the fog and appeared in front of Yu Yi.
This was a kind of alien creature with extremely vague form, and the reason why no one could describe its specific form was that eyewitness hunters were bound to be tracked by them. The prey they tracked was basically doomed to death. There was no time for them to describe its shape in detail.
This vague alien creature appeared in front of Yu Yi – quite flat and twisted body, with a swaying light blue straw in its big mouth. I was a part of its mouth. The light blue liquid kept coming out of its mouth… A foul smell pervaded the air and even overshadowed the smell of ozone.
[You’ve seen Tindalos, so I think you don’t need me to explain too much?]
[. rd = 47. Inspiration check passed.]
[. rd = 22.SC check passed.]
[. r1d3 = 2. Despite your efforts to calm yourself down after witnessing the horrors, the indescribable things and twisted strange body still make you feel nauseous, so you lost two points of sanity.]
Another trifecta of checks. He remembered to see the Hound’s SC. Success was 1d3. Failure was 1D20. Compared with the Star Color, the SC was not so friendly. The role of the Hound as a toll booth was very competent.
“KP, that Hound saw me, right? I want to charm it!”
“Tsk…This is not Pink Ball. I can tell you, because of your rogue behavior, so my Hound will be 7d6 points of more than 40. This is not an average value. To put it simply, it is an enhanced version of plus nine and chasing sixteen, but I am also fair. It will be weakened in other ways, so you better give up using Charm on it.”
After that, the Willpower resistance failed without any suspense. Although he temporarily added his willpower to 30 points from the Star Color, which was completely beyond human limit. KP shamelessly set the Hound’s willpower above 40 points…
Unlike Star Color, Tindalos’ attack was fatal. With Yu Yi’s small body at 14 HP points, he would possibly be killed within a few attacks. If a critical hit was made, Yu Yi would be killed with just one attack. Although the durability value of a Hound was not unlimited like the Star Color, which was at around 24 points, its value could restore in each round because the game was not turn-based. So every minute, Tindalos’s durability value would be restored by 4 points, and normal attacks wouldn’t be effective against it; only enchanted weapons and magic could work against Tindalos.
Moreover, Tindalos could also cast 1d8 mantras. If Star Color was invincible on the condition of no BUG Tai Sword, then Tindalos was a terrifying predator.
“Whatever! I’ll attack first!”
As the Star Color caught Tindalos, Yu Yi rushed forward, jumped, and chopped firmly on Tindalos’s body.
[. rd = 61, Martial arts check was successful.]
[The opponent is temporarily unable to dodge.]
[. r1d6 = 4, You’ve dealt 4 damage.]
[. r1d6 = 2, Damage deepened by 2]
[You got Temporary Attribute Reinforcement. You restored a little bit of health and a little bit of MP. The contribution will be recovered completely after the end of the battle! The part that exceeds the upper limit will be sacrificed to God!]
[. r1d3 = 1, Its intelligence is reduced by 1 point.]
With one chop, it directly removed 7 points of Tindalos’s HP, which was a not damage calculation BUG. Tai Sword’s physical damage was 4 points. Yu Yi’s skill increased the damage by 2 points, a total of 6 damage. Tai Sword would absorb all the attributes from the attacked creature by 1 HP, so the total damage was 7 points.
Sometimes I really want to go up there and kick it in the leg? My Shotgun Flying Kick can give a good attack.
Tindalos, who was captured in the air, waved its front claws to get rid of Star Color. It looked very weak now. When he was captured by Star Color, Yu Yi’s attack would absorb its attributes, and the Star Color would continue to cause damage. As an efficient hunter, Star Color was very weak against Yu Yi’s Tai Sword, but it did not mean that it was weak. Star Color absorbed its power, and Tai Sword kept absorbing… This was how to squeeze a Hound dry.
Opening his mouth, Tindalos issued an inaudible howl at Star Color, who got instantly attacked by an invisible force. This was magic, and Tindalos temporarily trapped him with a mantra. Tindalos looked at Yu Yi. He knew that he could not defeat the Star Color, but believed that he could defeat this prey.
“Ah… Old man! Your stand-in is so useless!”
Looking at the Star Color trapped by magic, Fengye shook her head. Star Color was very difficult to deal with, yes, but there were still many ways to avoid magical attack from mythological creatures.
“Nonsense! It has just been sucked dry by me, and there is no extra Willpower and Intelligence left to fight against magic.”
And because of the intelligence-lowering attack, the intelligence of this Star Color was about to become zero. Before it was restored, he could not use magic and basically lost all his resistance to magic.
Looking at Tindalos, Yu Yi made a vigilant gesture.
He saw it open its mouth, and then a light blue mouthpart stabbed him with lightning.
[. rd = 87, Dodge failed!]
Moving to the left side, Yu Yi tried to avoid the attack of its mouthpart, which was twisted, turned in the air, and pierced Yu Yi’s body.
[. r1d3 = 3, You have lost 3 points of willpower.]
An attack by Tindalos’s mouthpart would not cause any physical damage. It would not even leave a scar on the victim’s body nor would the victim feel any pain, but it would absorb the victim’s Willpower by 1d3. Well, it was similar to Yu Yi’s intelligence-lowering attack, which would make it impossible for the enemy to use magic, as well as Intellectual resistance.
After a slight dizziness, his 30-point Willpower was reduced to 27, but it didn’t matter. Anyway, he absorbed it all from the Star Color. Even if it was not consumed right now, he would sacrifice these points to Yuming later on. As an oracle, he was not distressed at all.
Holding the sword, Yu Yi rushed towards Tindalos. The Hound did not hesitate, it aimed at Yu Yi and waved its front paws.
Tai Sword first cut Tindalos’s body, then he heard a prompt from KP that there was injury. Yu Yi then slightly lowered his body to avoid the Hound’s claws. However, the 70-point dodge skill tricked him.
[. rd = 72. Dodge failed!]
The Hound’s claws patted directly on Yu Yi’s back, which caused a great pain that almost made him suffocate.
[You lost 10 points HP. You are seriously injured and poisoned. You will suffer poison damage by 2d6 toxin in each round!]
Yes, this was why Yu Yi only dared to use the Tai Sword against Star Color, because Star Color had no way to directly cause so much damage with one hit like the Hound did. Yu Yi’s HP was only 14 points in total. Yu Yi lost half of his life after this attack, and it was f**king poisonous!
He felt the burning pain in his back, and some foul-smelling liquid dripped down his back. It was Tindalos’s venom.
Yu Yi used the Tai Sword to scrape the poison off his back.
[. rd = 71, Agility check is successful. You removed the venom.]
Nonsense! My agility is over 30 points, okay? 1d100 made an Agility check X5 to remove the venom, but as long as I didn’t get 100 points, I will always pass!
“This thing is not to be underestimated. Whoo-hoo!”
