Chapter 31: Live To Fight Another Day
Lucien suffered after he made such a declaration. He endured countless hits—every time he rushed the Godzilla, he actually managed to land his strikes, but the problem was that the defense of a level 120 monster was overwhelming for a level 29.
Even if the level 29 was armed with one level 45 weapon and one level 100 weapon.
For the most part, the Sword of the Forsaken had a higher damage ratio compared to the Darkness Cutter. It was a good, quality sword; whatever was lacking was due to its user and the overwhelming defense of its foe.
Still, Lucien was stubborn. He was stubbornly racing through the forest, using several means to inflict damage. He didn’t care how long it was going to take—as long as he killed the Godzilla, it was all fine.
He was not tired or frustrated by the measly numbers he kept seeing. In fact, he remembered seeing on the forum that he had to deal a small number of damages around a billion times, and it seemed like the person wasn’t exaggerating.
Granted, Lucien had long lost count of how many times he had struck the Black Godzilla.
Every serious and intense strike usually cost him, because they came at a price that demanded he be slow for a moment. And in that moment of slowness, the Black Godzilla usually caught up with him and delivered one blow that would immediately drain more than half of his health.
So Lucien would have to resume running around the forest in order to wait for his health to fully replenish with all the health potions he had fused with.
After that, he turned invisible again and would strike, but he never chose the same point to strike, and each attack was always getting more creative. It was almost like he didn’t care for his life.
Moreover, he had not received a major frontal attack from the Godzilla—most of it had been the tail or the swiping of its hand. And yet those peripheral attacks were costing him more than half his life.
Lucien knew that if he came face to face with an attack he couldn’t dodge, a frontal confrontation, he was probably going to die before hitting the ground.
