Villain: Supreme Parasite System in Another World-Chapter 24: Brain Vs Brawn Part 3

After finding a suitable hiding spot, he rested until his energy fully replenished.

His liver count now read 216/1,000. The progress was solid, but his mindset demanded mastery over momentum.

New equipment—or in this case, new biological talents—was a liability until field-tested in a controlled environment.

He found a wide vertical area where the concrete was thick and foot traffic nonexistent. Here, he began testing his latest acquisition: Kinetic Calibration.

Previously, his movements were powerful but clumsy. Spring Joints snapped his body like a high-tension cable—fast, but predictable. Any prepared opponent could adjust and strike him directly.

Though he compensated by twisting his body mid-air, anyone prepared could easily intercept his path.

This was where the new skill would prove useful.

By controlling the force more accurately, he could snap his segments and manipulate his movements in the air, like a gyroscope, adjusting his body to twist, turn, or stabilize his trajectory mid-flight.

’Let’s increase my speed first.’

He adjusted his tail, making it springier, then used his Spring Joints and Kinetic force to focus power on the tip at the point of impact.

CRACK!

Cement shards flew as he shot forward. The wind tore across his face; skin burned with the sudden strain. Eighty kilometers per hour flashed by—then momentum died, and he crashed into the floor, skidding.

’So, that’s my top jumping speed for now.’

It was impressive, considering the size and build of his body, but not mind-blowing.

His reasoning was firmly grounded in reality.

For example, a top-tier batter in his old world could perceive a baseball coming at over 150 km/h and still react in time to hit it.

Daryl’s Wind Blade moved at roughly 200 km/h, and Tanya was able to block several of them. So it was fair to say they could handle attacks at speeds between 200 and 300 km/h—provided they saw them coming.

He tried adjusting further, but it produced no significant increase.

Next, he began optimizing his ground movements.

Previously, he could only reach 30 km/h using his hybrid worm-and-snake locomotion, his body relying on a combination of muscular contractions and spring-like coils to push forward.

With Kinetic Calibration, he learned to distribute force and weight with precision, timing each contraction perfectly to maximize momentum.

His Spring Joints stored and released energy like loaded springs, while his tail acted as both stabilizer and propulsion.

Now, he could hit 60 km/h for short bursts. It was brief but devastating, perfect for surprise attacks and rapid strikes.

Done with movement testing, he shifted to attack patterns. Speed alone wasn’t enough. If his strikes lacked precision, even the fastest burst would lose its advantage.

He coiled his body, compressing before releasing it in a forward lash.

The strike slammed against the concrete wall, sending small fragments scattering across the floor. The impact was solid, but he immediately noticed the flaw.

Maintaining momentum for a follow-up attack was difficult.

He continued experimenting.

Short bursts.

Mid-air twists.

Delayed strikes.

Rapid consecutive attacks.

Each attempt refined his control. His tail snapped like a whip, while his main body followed through with crushing force.

At times, he even used the recoil from one strike to chain into another, turning a single attack into a flowing sequence.

The tunnel echoed with repeated impacts as dust slowly filled the air.

Eventually, the strain began to show.

’This is enough for now.’

He retreated back into the shadows and coiled himself into a compact position, minimizing movement while his energy replenished once again.

Two days passed, and just as he expected, another group arrived.

This time, they brought two special Category members with them, and their total number exceeded twenty.

But instead of fear, adrenaline flowed through him.
