Blood Assimilation

Randy had succeeded in covering the military knife with his Energy Manifestation Skill upon his first attempt and was even able to change the magical energy\'s nature to that of cold energy before turning it into an ice element around the military knife.

To be more precise, if one looks closely at his hand, one will see an ice blade in his grasp, but instead of encasing his hand like before when he was in his assimilated state, he used the military knife as a base to form the shape of the ice blade.

This was the combination of his new skill, Energy Manifestation, and his ice spell technique, Frost Hand. With this, he was able to create a perfect ice blade with sharp edges.

Right now, the ice around the military knife\'s body is smooth without any rugged surface, almost as if it was the actual body of the knife.

The reason why Randy used this method instead of simply entering his assimilated state and using the spell technique, \'Frost Hand\' was because right now, he was weakened after using his dual-assimilated state and could not enter the assimilate state for a while.

After pondering, he discovered that this method was the only way he could control the cold energy without harming his own body. 

Unlike his mother who probably had an immunity toward the ice element, he did not have an innate ice ability, so the cold energy from using the ice spell technique was very harmful to his body. 

With that out of the way, he brandished the military knife in his grasp while looking at the stationary chimera monster about a meter away with a hateful expression.

With a cold glint in his eyes, he quickly traversed the distance between them and pierced the chimera monster in its chest with his ice blade.

Guooh——

Due to the sudden pain in its chest, the chimera monster momentarily broke out of his Blood Authority Skill\'s influence, and with bloodshot eyes, it aimed its claw at Randy. 

But Randy reacted in time and used his Blood Authority Skill once again to restrain it and then he retreated back to his position before. 

Afterward, he picked the other knife on the ground, encased in ice just like he did with the previous knife that was still stuck in the chimera monster\'s chest.

The only purpose in encasing the knives in ice was to maximize their damage effect on the chimera monster that had a tough body. 

He does not want to cover his arm in ice since it might cause frostbite without his enhanced body from his assimilated state, and the knives that he brought with him were not sharp enough to deal any damage to the chimera monster, so the only method to attack the chimera monster was to cover the knives in ice using his newly acquired skill and spell technique. 

With that in mind, he held in his grasp the now encased knife that form another ice blade. 

Afterward, he approached the chimera monster and then pierced his ice blade into the center of its chest once again before retreating and picking up another knife.

He repeated this process over and over again, he 

Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk!

Very soon, there were ice-encased weapons stuck inside the chimera monster\'s chest causing it to scream in pain as it struggled to break free from its restraints, and yet it did not seem to be falling or even exhibiting any sign of dying at any moment.

The reason for this might have to do with the chimera monster\'s tough body, and even though the place that Randy was piercing seemed to be softer in comparison to the other parts of its body. 

Even so, it was still tough for him to pierce all the way through its skin, and right now, it only seemed to be bleeding slightly from its wound on its chest.

\'As I thought, it won\'t be easy to take it down…\' Randy silently thought.

The next moment he revealed a wicked smile and then said: "Then I just have to keep piercing its chest until it dies from blood loss, or its chest is void of its heart entirely.\'

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, he quickly moved forward and jumped over the chimera monster\'s body, pulled out the other ice-encased knives, one by one, and then pierced them right back into the chimera monster\'s chest relentlessly. 

"Puk!" "Puk!" "Puk!" "Puk!"

Pewh!

While he was focused on piercing the chimera monster\'s chest with the many weapons that he stuck into its chest, all of a sudden, he felt a cold and slimy liquid on his arm. 

He stopped piercing the chimera monster\'s chest and used his other hand to assess what it was but all he found out was that it was a little slimy like saliva. 

He scowled in disgust upon this discovery and then he looked up at the chimera monster who had its tongue stuck out at this moment with something slimy dripping down from it.

\'What the hell! Did it just spit on me?\' 

Randy wondered but the next moment, he found out that the feeling in his arm was getting weak, in other words, it was getting numb. 

After pondering for a moment, a realization suddenly dawned on him, and he raised his eyebrow in surprise afterward. 

\'This feeling… Surely the ability that it used on me before was not this spit, right? What the hell kind of ability needs you to spit on someone? Fuck! Disgusting! But wait, I didn\'t feel anything when it used its ability on me before, I was only attacked by its claw… Did it cover its claws with its saliva before attacking me or something? This damn monster— Haah, calm down.\'

\'In any case, now is not the time to dwell on this matter, I have to find a way to get rid of this numbness in my arm first…\'

Randy silently thought to himself before coming back to his senses and used his Blood Authority to try to circulate his blood more through his numbed arm.

[[Blood Authority Skill has negated the numb sensation that was inflicted on your body which seemed to have been caused by the other party\'s ability]]

The system announced to him a moment later. 

\'Oh, the system can even inform me of something like this? But that just means that my blood authority skill is proving to be useful against this unknown ability from the chimera monster..\' Randy thought in appreciation toward his skill.
