Sinner System-Chapter 522: Final Dungeon - Third Floor (Part 5)

Point-of-View: Iseul Park

———————————————————————————

I feel so woozy, and it’s steadily getting worse. I taste blood in my mouth. If this fight drags out, I’ll die. Hell, I might die regardless.

In which case, I’ll just have to attack with everything I’ve got and end this as quickly as possible!

I shot forward at full speed, firing out a powerful bolt of lightning at Venom, who shakily shuffled across to the right, narrowly evading the bolt, his movements stiff and rigid.

I lunged forward as I closed in, a sharp crackle ringing out as I concentrated lightning into my blade and drove it towards the middle of one of his necks.

He hissed in pain as my blade inflicted a deep gash across the right side of the neck as he swayed his head across, before the other heads struck out at me, their fangs bared.

I sprang back as he snapped his jaws at me, evading them before stumbling slightly as my vision blurred, before firing a devastating blast of lightning from my staff, aimed at the ground by his feet.

He sprang back as fast as he could, stiffening with a pained hiss and seizing up sharply as he landed a few meters back, a bright electric flash erupting across the ground and spreading out as my blast collided against the muddy dirt.

I raced towards him, charging lightning into my blade and whipping my staff across, firing out a streaky, horizontal slash of lightning at him, which struck the middle of his shell before he could react.

He trembled and stumbled upon impact, before swiping his claws at my head as I closed in on him.

One of his claws grazed my forehead as I ducked down as fast as I could, my vision blurring as the venom coating his claws got injected into my bloodstream, before I gritted my teeth as I shot past him and slipped behind him.

He began to spin around as I drove my blade towards the back of one of his necks, a sharp hiss of pain ringing out as my blade tore through the middle of his neck and ripped one of his heads off.

As the head fell off and hit the ground with a splat, he drove his claws towards my head with a vicious thrust of his arm, tearing across my right cheek and ear as I tilted my head across to the left.

As the stump left around the neck I’d cut through began to regenerate, I whipped my blade across, slicing open a couple of his throats, before firing out a concentrated blast of lightning at the middle of his torso from my staff.

A bright electric flash burst out as a deafening spark and crackle rang out, his feet skidding back across the ground, his legs buckling slightly as he came to a sliding halt, before suddenly spewing clouds of poison smoke out of his mouths.

I raced away as fast as I could as the poison dispersed and spread out, letting out a slight cough...damn it, this toxic concentration is too intense.

The lightning around me is frying a good bit of it, but there’s just too much poison, I’m still inhaling a fair amount. If it wasn’t for my lightning nullifying a good chunk of the poison, I’d probably already have dropped dead.

As a trickle of blood began to down the corner of my mouth before getting vaporized by the lightning wrapped around me, I unleashed a blinding electric flash as I shot towards Venom, a startled cry ringing out before I leapt forward as I closed in.

A vicious crackle rang out as I channeled and concentrated as much lightning around my blade as I could, whipping it across and slicing off two of his heads, before unfurling a fierce barrage of relentless thrusts at the middle of his torso.

Cracks spread out across his shell as I ceaselessly struck the same spot over and over while intensifying the lightning around my body, keeping him partially immobilized, the cracks in his shell rapidly deepening and spreading. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

One more strike and I should break thr-...!

Suddenly, my vision blurred and spun sharply as I coughed out blood with an agonized wheeze, the blood splattering across his legs as I stumbled, my chest aching and pounding agonizingly as my ears began ringing.

As I frantically tried to regain my bearings, I let out a gasp of pain as he grabbed my head and lifted me up off the ground, digging his claws in as the lightning around my body faded.

Sh-Shit, he’s pumping venom into me...!

"Have you already reached your limit? I’ll admit, you posed a serious threat...but it seems that’s over now. Die," He uttered as all his heads regenerated, before he drove his other arm towards my heart.

I gritted my teeth before twisting my body across while driving my blade up, piercing through the skin on his forearm and lifting the trajectory of the thrust of his arm.

I stiffened in pain as his claws tore through my left shoulder, right as I unleashed a fierce, crackling blast of lightning from my staff, his grasp over my head getting wrenched off as the blast collided against the middle of his chest and pushed him back several meters across the ground.

I collapsed onto my knees with an agonized wheeze, blood streaming out of my eyes and nostrils, dripping onto the ground. I bit down on my lower lip as I clenched my fists and shakily got back onto my feet.

My knees buckled as I just barely managed to stand back up, my body feeling ice cold and burning hot at the same time.

I took out my bottle of pills, tossing a couple of the pills into my mouth to numb the pain, before retching and coughing out blood with a pained gasp, my entire body wracked in agony.

I-I think I’m down to about a third of my Mana, maybe even a quarter. I’m barely standing, he injected so much venom into my bloodstream, it won’t be long before I completely run out of strength.

"Surrender and I shall give you a quick, painless death. You are half-dead as it is," Remarked Venom, as I let out a slow exhale to compose myself.

"Yeah, maybe. But I’m not done yet, not before I kill you...now, again, [Lightning Boost x5]!"
