Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Life and death struggle

It has been a whole two hours since my first attack on the horned horse I now refer to as giga horse. I have long ran out of arrows so instead am using a pair of daggers that blacksmith and craftsman made for me. The blade length was a actually just a bit shorter then a short sword so calling them daggers is a little off. During my assault I did mange to strip some of it's scale while it has not hit me at all. Once again I will say it ,spirit eyes are really a godsend with them helping me predict it's attacks. Even earlier when my arrow failed to do any thing spirit shock caused a fair amount of damage. Still it only severed to confuse giga horse temporarily while I attacked. Sadly even after two hours of fighting hard I still have not landed another decent hit. I knew that if things continued as their were my chances of wining will decrease. Right now it is still dazed so it can only rely on physical attacks. However the more time that passes ,the greater the chance of it using some other means of attack. So I have been trying to do anything I can to speed up the battle but so far no luck.

Finally what feared happened because right when it shuck of it's confuse the ground stuck in a little tripping me. Without any hesitation the giga horse charged me trying to impale me with it's horn. Luckily I barely managed to dodge the attack by twisting my body but it still got on scratch on me. Although the wound is not that deep I still couldn't help but think about what would have happened if i was not fast enough. At the same time my heartbeat quickened in excitement over this life or death struggle. Getting back to my feet a smile appeared on my face think how everyone would react when I bring it's head back. Once again I started to use my hit and run strategy this time I was ready for anything. As it turns out giga hoarse can actual the earth even though it is not at the level of Rou. Soon another hour passed without ether one of us being able to brake our stalemate.

GoblinHou: Damn you are seriously one tough son of a bitch it has already been three whole hours why don't you just go down.

As I said that giga horse neighed then stomped it's hooves as if to say that it felt the same about me. This fight has been my greatest test of willpower I have gone through since birth that is not including not sleeping with the women. Now that I think about it maybe I should have tried harder to hookup with them. With that thought in my mind I made vow to do everything I can to bed them when I get back. Charging it again I sent another spirit shock but this time I made the attack fire attribute. The attack this time did more then just daze giga horse and made it thrash around in pure pain. Taking my chance I moved in to deliver a fatal wound to it. Unfortunately, right as my attack landed my daggers both broke stunning me briefly. In that small window it's hoof caught my off guard. I flew through two trees before being stopped by the third. The two of us right now have received some serious damage with me even having trouble standing. After forcing myself to stand I slowly moved to the giga horse but with no weapon I had no idea what do against those scales. With no other choice I looked through the system for something I can use and that is when I came across something.

[Martial soul slot: By purchasing this you will be able to equip another martial soul alongside your current one. (cost: 18,000 SP)]

My plan is to buy martial soul slot and then use the ticket I got a while ago to get a new martial soul. No longer wasting anymore time I quickly bought the skill then it followed by using the random lottery ticket. Much like the first time a wheel appeared in front of me except for their the fact that there are two. The first wheel landed on the section with the picture of a ring on it and the second stopped on a scorpion with a green background.

[Congratulations on pulling the ice scorpion martial soul. Due to blessing from Great God of Nature and Souls martial souls power has increased. Now equipping ice scorpion to user's free soul slot]

As that message played in my head I could feel a cold almost frozen energy flow through my body like a river. Thanks to that feeling I knew that this battle is finally over. Stomping hard on the ground I catapulted toward the giga horse one more time. After slipping through it's violent thrashing I jumped on it's back and began to freeze it slowly. Of course the giga horse does not just sit there letting me do it. It quickly started running into everything hopping to knock me off but I held tight refusing to let go. My back get slammed into more rocks and trees than I care to count even breaking a few of them.

Our struggle stalemate continued for God knows for how long until final the fucker was completely frozen through. Using the last bit of my strength I threw a kick to shatter the ice sculpture. When I saw it become a million tiny pieces I finally fell on my butt. As I did a message sounded off in my head.
