The Legendary Genius Of The Human Race, Harlofk (2)

 

 

 

With not even half of his attacks accurately landing on the enemy, Harlofk, and barely one third of Tongqiu's Rain Showdown being successful. That crazy yet so helpful amount of damage gave Harlofk deep and real, fear; while Tongqiu only felt that he could take out this so-called 'Legendary Genius' rather simply without even needing to use his abnormal state.

Harlofk's total HP: [93,501,158/95,000,000].

Meanwhile, Harlofk's body was finally affected by one of Tongqiu's attacks -skill- as his body went flying backwards and up for half a second there, from 102 different attacks, it was more than normal that he would at the very least, be mildly responsive towards such a barrage of shadows coming at him all at once.

"Ugh, cough cough-ka-kah!" Upon landing on the ground once again, Harlofk couldn't help wiping out the dirt stains on his cheeks that were a mix of his own saliva forcefully expelled from his mouth and dirt and dust from the impact of Tongqiu's skill.

"Kid, you-"

"Don't call me kid, you're just like an older loser than a younger loser."

Before poor Harlofk could even really start his lines, Tongqiu cut the BOSS once again before once again drawing his bow to a full moon. Tongqiu's Rain Showdown had a totally stupid cooldown of 1 second and an absurd cost of resources for launching it, namely 100 MP and 100 Stamina. Yet, it was designed to be an all-nearby targeting skill and not a fully one-target focused skill. When Tongqiu used it, though he didn't feel a toll on his mind nor the need for his Mental Power, in this restraining and unknown throne room; using it right then felt like it was too heavy to even move.

Such an obvious clear sign of vulnerability wouldn't be out of Harlofk's sight, the first Legendary grade being that Tongqiu was facing. And, unlike those field-type; Harlofk, was a true BOSS. Even then though, Harlofk's Movement Speed and Attack/Action Speed could easily be considered slow and dull when compared to the Heavenly grade Rosey.

'Mmm...' Thinking about the previous image and body of Rosey, Tongqiu entered into a fake Charmed negative altered effect for 2 seconds to which Harlofk used to compose himself and to adapt to the monstrosity that Tongqiu is. At the same time, Little Rosey made her way to Tongqiu while carrying the long dagger on her hands.

"Brr? Brr? Brr~, brr! Brr!" Seemingly obvious to the reason behind Tongqiu's silliness, Rosey bashfully tried to grab her big brother's attention while presenting the Cherished Dagger to him.

"Ah. Good job, Rosey." As Tongqiu looked through the Cherished Dagger's information once again, he then put it in his Master's Bag before turning to look at Harlofk who was now silently staring back; no longer in the spirits to talk.

"Brrr." As if saying 'I'll be here!' and 'Let's fight together!'; Rosey lined up with Tongqiu before turning to look at Harlofk in a condescending and uncaring manner.

'Tch, even a little something is capable of looking down at me, haha...' Harlofk thought while Tongqiu stored his left-handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius, keeping the right-handed tightly in his right hand, he moved toward Harlofk in a quick sprint.

Transient Divine Burst!

Deactivating Combustion, Tongqiu brandished his gladius to attack Harlofk, aiming purely at the left side of his body. Whenever Tongqiu slashed and hacked at him, Harlofk would swat it away with either a punch, a palm or simply by blocking it with his fingers. Yet, whenever Harlofk used his right arm or right leg to defend himself more easily from certain angles of Tongqiu's sword, he would find himself vulnerable and obstructed by a strong, firm and relentless grab of his left hand.

MISS, -32,497, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, -32,497, -32,497...

After a few minutes of following the same direction with Tongqiu already having lost the initial advantage from Rosey's skill Bloodline, mostly because of the clever use of an AOE lasting skill from Harlofk; Harlofk's HP downed to [91,307,611/95,000,000]. In those few minutes, more than a hundred attacks were successful, yet lots of those attacks were either blocked or deflected by Harlofk's incredible raw strength that did not even required for him to use a weapon. His skin was incredible tough, his battle spirit was unmatched and even after losing almost 4 million HP, he was sill looking as good as even before the battle started.

At this moment, Harlofk's eyes which were simply narrowed sternly and silently somber, suddenly sparked as a quick and powerful surge of red colored specks of light formed at the right of his palm when Tongqiu was about to deliver a punch to his ribs with his free left hand.

"Brr-brrr!" Rosey came to the rescue of Tongqiu as numerous digits appeared above Tongqiu's head.

-3,020!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!, -30!

-1,768!

At the same time that Tongqiu received that incredible amount of damage in but a few seconds, the 10 seconds cost from using Transient Divine Burst came into being with Tongqiu's HP already plummeting close to half his barely regenerated full HP bar from his continuous Lifesteal capabilities.

Pam!

-20,700.

At this moment, Rosey's body flew towards the ugly and twisted-faced Harlofk as a kick went to his left ribs where Tongqiu initially intended to hit him at. Harlofk had ignored Rosey and focused on showing Tongqiu terror, he had already easily become aware of the expenses of using such a skill and timed perfectly the tic from where Tongqiu would be suffering a backlash from using it. Yet, when the unrealistic pain coming from such a little shit which he, for some reason, didn't even wanted to glance at in the wrong way; Harlofk became astonished with his eyes widening immensely before his body was straight up sent flying from Rosey's kick!

"Cough-cough-uh! Aaah, Rosey." There was no need for thanks as Rosey wouldn't not help Tongqiu in avoiding some 'unnecessary' taking of damage, yet it still wasn't enough for her to act serious as she flicked her nose with her 'thumb' and proceeded to stand proudly in front of Tongqiu.

Rolling his eyes and petting the slightly 'brr-ing' Rosey, Tongqiu then looked to where the sorry figure of Harlofk was now standing still on the spot from. At this moment, a dark and all-consuming lots of specks of light began converging towards Harlofk as he himself lifted his right hand with his palm facing the sky; slowly.

Indeed, only a 'slightly common' usage rate skill would be this apparent in a BOSS fight. While 'waiting' for Harlofk's move, Tongqiu held the right-handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius point downwards right from where the tip of his Great Petal Suit Cleat-Boots which was slightly positioned forwards in a stance of receiving a heavy blow; to fend it off.

Guzzle.

With the sounds of the air being sucked into Harlofk's right palm tightly, a dark and suffocating javelin was formed on top of his palm before Harlofk grabbed it tightly and started a throw aimed at Tongqiu.

Tongqiu's nostrils slowly and calmly took in some air as he saw this scene play in front of his eyes, the moment Harlofk threw the javelin, Tongqiu's eyes constricted willingly while his right-handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius was kept aiming to the ground. Tongqiu's body moved unexpectedly forwards and, half a second right before the dark javelin made its way to impale Tongqiu's collarbone, the Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius seemingly became a flexible energy source that traveled at an incredible speed directly towards the dark javelin at once!

Pkan-Ling~.

A soft sound went out instead of a shocking and deafening one the moment that the dark javelin was easily sent backwards in a totally different angle upwards and to the left from where it came from. But right after that happened, Harlofk was the one to this time make the follow-up move as his fist was already traveling towards Tongqiu's face, his entire fist was covered in clear red energy which gave Tongqiu a sensation similar to being close to a hell as hot grill.

Tongqiu tried moving his head backwards while his old pal moved to intercept and parry Harlofk's fist, but it was useless.

Pam!

-3,397!

Bvreee-Vwlsht~!

- 32,497.

+325.

Yet, the moment that Harlofk's punch connected with Tongqiu's face, the barely summoned at time left-handed Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius suddenly came to be right below Harlofk's arm. The exact moment that his body began to be impulsed backwards, Tongqiu penetrated Harlofk's wrist into a stuck position and, while in that state; Tongqiu pulled himself back towards the punch to receive more damage yet as his eyes turned extremely ferocious.

Pam!

-3,397!

Looking at Tongqiu's sudden entire change in not only his eyes but also in energy, Harlofk dazedly remained stupid for a moment before waking up. Yet, it was already late as he felt a jab at his left shoulder where his arm was connected to his body. Understanding that he was just 'trapped' into a soft lock, Harlofk didn't panic as he prepared to headbutt Tongqiu silly.

"PTRRR!"

Yet, the feral and scary-looking Rosey with her real claws and sawed teeth began to attack Harlofk's back like a dog assaulting a big, bulky man out of desperation.

-20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700, -20,700.

"AARGH!" Harlofk's mouth opening wide and in pain, Tongqiu didn't lose this chance to deliver a few punches himself before propelling himself backwards after a couple of kick on Harlofk's lower stomach in a backwards somersault.

-32,497, -32,497, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, MISS, MISS, -32,497, MISS, -32,497.

"EGH! KAAH!" Another furious round of roars went out Harlofk's mouth as saliva even came out from it with the strength pulled towards his jaws, at the next instant, Rosey jumped away after a last hit that did ended up doing its intended damage as Tongqiu felt his barely sent arrows be deflected completely without dealing any damage as both his Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladiuses bounced out of Harlofk's body like a pair of kites with their strings cut off!

Rosey, Dooming Bloom!

-127,500.

Harlofk's HP: [90,704,227/95,000,000].

Tongqiu's Rain Showdown!

-939,168.

+9,391.

Harlofk's HP: [89,765,059/95,000,000].

"Huff..." Frowning a little for as there hasn't been much doing yet Harlofk's HP has gone down by almost 6%, and to the fact that Tongqiu could almost go back up to full HP after one sole Tongqiu's Rain Showdown, Tongqiu then decided to minimize the use of Tongqiu's Rain Showdown to when he was either caught by an attack from Harlofk or when he was too far away from himself.

"Huuu... okay, let's go, hahp!" Tongqiu said, trying to console both he and Rosey as he then made a jump forwards while letting loose another Wind Connective Arrow.

Tuk, tuk.

Effortlessly deflecting them away as the Wind Connective Arrows were slapped away by Harlofk's hands, he didn't notice how another mark was made on his skin as he prepared himself to start brutalizing Tongqiu's 'fragile' and weak as hell body.

Whoosh whoosh!

-1,000.

-24,072.

After the continuous sounds of the wind converging at once before imploding out of nowhere went out, Harlofk's body was riddled with countless superficial flesh wounds all over his body, even his eyes, as two pair of numbers appeared above his head one after the other. It didn't do much, but Tongqiu was expecting for the effect of having tons of gushes of wind and the like, to bombard Harlofk as he took out some more Common iron arrows.

Combustion!

-36,108, MISS, MISS, -36,108, -36,108, -36,108, -93,519, MISS, MISS, -36,108, MISS, -36,108.

Tongqiu would obviously not choose to either attack at melee when such a weird skill was activated nor directly shoot some arrows at Harlofk's body of his to waste in that same state given by All-Out Implosion. Since his skill Combustion wasn't an item of any sorts and since All-Out Implosion only worked against items and not skills, Tongqiu could detonate by will the arrows before arriving at Harlofk's body and to those that simply ended up skewered to the ground.

Taking out once again the Wind Connective Arrows after halving his MP and Stamina from the bombardment of Combustion, which Tongqiu thankfully no longer needed to use Mental Power to effectuate properly, Tongqiu then proceeded to kite Harlofk until the next 110% from boosting the Wind element in the surroundings was reached yet again.

-1,000.

-24,072.

'Now! Rosey!' Becoming alerted while commanding Rosey at the same time, Tongqiu re-activated Combustion before waiting for Rosey's Dooming Bloom to combine their attacks in one.

Combustion!

Rosey, Dooming Bloom!

-127,500.

-36,108, MISS, -36,108, -36,108, MISS, MISS, MISS, -36,108, -36,108, -36,108, -36,108, MISS, -36,108.

"GRAAWGH! Stop with your petty acts, scoundrel!"

STOMPSTOMPSTOMP

As Tongqiu saw how the strangeness of the All-Out Imploding skill left Harlofk's body, he no longer feared his weaponry from being torn into little shits of pieces as he stored his unresponsive Short Azure Wind Bow and took no more arrows out of his Master's Bag. But, at the moment that he even made a single step forwards, the entirety of the throne room in the middle -which is their current specific spot on the battlefield- was abruptly covered in a grey fog that spanned over a few doze meters. Tongqiu couldn't see anything nor feel any movements around him with only the sensation that this fog was way too humid and that the feeling of being heavy while inside the fog was only denouncing that it was elevated by the manipulation of the Water Core Element.

'Materialization of Particles.' The thought of this idea inundated Tongqiu as his eyes opened wider in advance yet also in surprise; indeed, after enduring the ceaseless amount of guerrilla tactics done on him when his only setback was his low agility and flexibility on battle, Harlofk could only employ a method that'll not only get him close to Tongqiu but also entrap him. Which was, now, being effectively succeeding.

"!!" Tongqiu, as if noticing something, turned towards his left to the sight of a clearly provoked Harlofk who was charging at him with great speed.

'Fuck.' With but a simple thought, Tongqiu chose to take out a Valuable grade long scythe instead of his Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladiuses. His right hand grasping the long scythe, Tongqiu employed a series of back steps to ensure that he wouldn't get suddenly caught by the furiously charging Harlofk while moving his right hand to the center of his stomach, Tongqiu then finally started swinging the long scythe's blade at the incoming Harlofk.

His eyes widening, Tongqiu increased the speed and movement of every single angle from where the long scythe's blade moved to and fro at the realization that Harlofk's speed was slowly growing faster and faster as he was already only 1.5 meters before Tongqiu!

'Fuck, fuck.' Probably that the fact that Harlofk was becoming more dangerous by the second inside this fog was because of the Materialization of Particles with the Water Core Element, Tongqiu did his best to use a weapon that he doesn't really trains with at all. Meanwhile, the fearlessly charging at him Harlofk was starting to grin, it was a calm and silent grin that irked Tongqiu's need of avenging Yunalesca's and Rosey's previous state.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck!' Without further ado, Tongqiu felt a new kind of rage. His long scythe began moving in a flurry and this time, with Harlofk being just 1 meter in front of Tongqiu as they both kept moving at the same speed and in the same manner. Harlofk began incurring multiple cuts to his body, making him slow down until an actual stop; it was not out of pain or fear from the 'sudden burst of emotion' from Tongqiu but because of each attack made at his body was so that if he continued to ignore it, the probability of bleeding would be mayor.

Harlofk's HP: [89,404,747/95,000,000].

Transient Divine Burst!

Slash! Cut! Tear!

-32,497, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, -32,497, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, -32,497, MISS, MISS...

Indeed, as Tongqiu's eyes became extremely calm and extremely fierce at the same time, each of his newly organized and of greater speed and precision moves were made so that they would target the arteries and the arteries only. This way, the possibility of triggering a 'natural' negative altered effect -namely bleeding-, would 'come to light' at some point.

Boldly, Tongqiu actually burst forth at Harlofk with his long scythe still in his right hand as he kept brandishing it in a way that was just impossible for Harlofk to defend, no matter what kind of guard he tried.

-32,497, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, MISS, -32,497, MISS, MISS...

This continued for a couple minutes more but, as all things; they must come, sooner or later, to an end.

At this point, Tongqiu saw the look in Harlofk's eyes change, his hands be surrounded by a deep blue color and the blade of his long scythe about to land on Harlofk's body.

"!" But Tongqiu was no longer able to stop it, his long scythe made contact with Harlofk's left thigh and as the familiar bloating sensation traveled towards his hands, Tongqiu saw how Harlofk's cruelly moved to entrap his long scythe's blade before the bloating sensation continued, over and over again while Harlofk himself was staring directly at Tongqiu.

With multiple '-12' going out every tic, the long scythe's blade quickly after became little broken pieces, completely useless and no longer a creation. Not only that, but...

*PING*...you've been inflicted with Stun, Chaos, Heavily Injured and Blind for 3 seconds.

*PING*...host's Stun, Blind and Chaos negative altered effect have been reduced to a total of .3 seconds.

...but Tongqiu was then, caught by surprise by not being able abandon the long scythe in time and, even though he had already let go of the long scythe's shaft; it still hurt him directly when it broke.

"Ugh-!!" As Tongqiu stumbled backwards and was about to fall down, a 'helpful' hand came to his 'rescue'. By grabbing him by the neck with his right hand, Harlofk strangled Tongqiu for a good pair of solid seconds before letting go of him and started to barrage all over his with a couple of punches before ending it by headbutting Tongqiu down and finally kicking him away.

-2,397!, -3,397!, -2,397!, -2,397!, -1,273!

The reason Harlofk 'had' to finish his attack was, because a terrifyingly approaching Rosey was immediately after going after him, his entire body shuddered at the moment Rosey entered the very well-worked up planning of his. He didn't understood it, and that caused real fear to emanate from his body. Yet, the moment Rosey appeared on Harlofk's eyes with her arms hung behind her as she made cracks on the hardest floor with but just her light stepping on it, was also the moment Tongqiu himself almost made a crack on the floor with his HP bar being reduced to a miserable 1!

Harlofk's HP: [86,967,472/95,000,000].
