Chapter 148: The Shadow Monsters of the River

'...' Stark didn't even budge when he noticed the dozens of pair of white eyes looking at him from beyond the mist, it was a rather strange feeling, but it didn't scare Stark in the slightest, quite the opposite actually.

What would be the point of acting surprised anyway, he had already killed one of them quite easily, so there was no need to fear anything.

In the end, Stark knew he was going to win, the real question was: how much time would it take him?

'Perception...' he mumbled while looking at the bears.

...

[Name: Shadow Bear]

[Level: 93]

[HP: 127000]

[Strength: 2918]

[Stamina: 2201]

[Speed: 1794]

[Defense: 2822]

[Skills: Shadow Claws, Group Attack, Shadow Body, River Puppet, Hearing Prediction, Slash Momentum...]

...

'...Weak,' Stark couldn't deny that their stats, level, and HP were beyond any enemy (besides ELITE and BOSS) he had fought before, but... it wasn't enough.

"SHADOW CLAWS," two [Shadow Bears] jumped out of the mist to reveal themselves, although it didn't change much since Stark could see their auras from the beginning, then they dashed at him.

They were pretty fast for monsters of their types.

But of course...

~SLASH~

Stark yet again waited for the perfect moment, and when it arrived, he activated [Invincible Dodge].

[Perfect Dodge!]

The world slowed down as Stark fazed through both attacks again, and he could see the claws of the bear slowly go through him, it was a weird feeling even though he didn't feel anything.

"Clone Frenzy," Stark backed away using one of the bear's body as a springboard, then called two of his clones to aid him.

"Aura Smash," then all three Stark sent 9 crimson fists toward the bears.

"Slash Momentum..." the bears tried to cut the attack in half using their momentum skill and shadow aura, but... it wasn't enough.

~BOOM, BOOM, BOOM~

[Level: 95]

[HP: 135000]

[Strength: 1738]

[Stamina: 3502]

[Speed: 3981]

[Defense: 2955]

[Skills: Crest of Shadows, Gale Strike, Shadow Dive, Piercing Screech, River Puppet, Call of the Birds, Shadow Flight...]

...

"SHADOW DIVE!" all six birds suddenly dived toward Stark, leaving a trail of aura as they descended upon him, blocking his exit from all directions.

"GROUP ATTACK!" and to make it worse, all thirteen bears swarmed in from the sides, aiming to corner Stark in a pincer attack, some of them even jumping in the air to catch him.

This meant that [Invincible Dodge] wouldn't work as the moment he tried to do that, he would be met with another one of the monsters that would surely slash him.

'...' Stark was unmoved, he just unsummoned his clones and waited for impact, 'Oh well... I might as well...'

Stark sighed as he remembered that he had 'THAT' skill he had unlocked less than two days ago with his most recent level up.

And so he activated it.

"DODGE CONTROL...!"

[Description:] For exactly 15 seconds, your aura takes over your body and allows you to bend it in any way it needs to, making you able to dodge any and every attack that comes your way, no matter how fast or unavoidable it is.

The moment the first Shadow Bird and Shadow Bear reached where Stark stood, he vanished in a blur of crimson light. His body contorted and twisted in an impossible manner, evading the attacks with grace that defied logic.

Stark couldn't control his body anymore.

'Huh...?' he could obviously think, but he wasn't the one moving it, rather, it was his own aura.

Stark reappeared behind one of the Shadow Birds, his crimson eyes burning with determination. With unparalleled speed, he unleashed a barrage of punches, each strike infused with his dominating aura.

The force of his blows sent shockwaves rippling through the mist-covered battlefield.

"-58382! -61291! -59033!" the first bird died before it could even understand what happened.

The remaining monsters on the other hand just looked around, confused as to how the human had avoided their impossible to dodge attack: they had one it against several people before, and it always worked.

[11 seconds of 'Dodge Control' remaining]

He couldn't understand how this skill worked since after avoiding, he immediately took control over his body again, and was the one that killed the bird.

'Does it mean my aura only takes control when an attack is coming...?' it was basically some sort of autopilot, very useful.

And so just like that, Stark got ready to fight the rest of them, quickly but surely getting rid of them all before they could do anything else.
