Chapter 23 - Rewards

Growl!

Harry smiled when the disdainful growl had left the mouth of the grass golem. A stark representation of the kind of pain it was passing through at the moment. A yellow liquid seeped out of the affected part of the golem slowly since the surface area of the leaves used for the attack weren't all that huge.

He placed his sword in the ground and released air from his lungs after ensuring that the kind of damage he had inflicted wasn't going to be easy to get over with it. His heart kept on thumping in his chest as it heaved up and down with each inhalation and exhalation he participated in. Harry breathe out a sigh of relief several minutes after his heart had decided to calm down a little.

'Thanks little guy', he said with gratitude while holding his chest and gently beating on it a few times. He knew the job was far from being completed and he had to do whatever he could to make sure that this task had been completed.

Before he could take a step forward, the screen had appeared within his line of sight once again. Harry smiled effortlessly after reading the message the system had for him.

Harry bit his tongue a little after realizing that the monster had already started to move from its original position. It was now slowly approaching Harry with a distorted smile on its face. The growling sound which had symbolized Harry's inevitable victory had vanished completely from the atmosphere and what now remained was the sickening smile on the monster's face. The smile remained penitent on its face as if it was a poster on a wall.

'Oh, I guess I'm not the only one benefiting from this battle', Harry said returning a cheerful grin to the monster's smile. He pulled up his sword from the ground and taunted the first to try its luck by delivering the first blow to him.

Growl!

The monster growled at the sight of this and the horrific smile on its face distorted much more into a grotesque one. The soul stone embedded in its chest brightened much more than usual causing a new wave of energy and pressure to fill the ambience.

Swooosh!

Swooosh!

The countless grass present on the ground begun to grow and move at an abnormal speed which was even hard to be detected by the naked eye.

Harry stared in horror as the grass flew towards his malnourished body. He simply waited for the right moment before rushing towards the monster with all the strength he could muster within his legs. Though the attack was a bit hasty and unplanned, it had completely decimated the grass which had been sent towards.

Harry's body flew effortlessly in a zigzag as if the sword was the one controlling his movements. The stunt was pulled with such accuracy and precision that whoever witnessed it for the first time could have sworn that he was a master swordsman at the moment.

Thud!

Thud!

The sound of the severed parts of the grass fall erupted severally as Harry progressed with his immaculate attack. The distance which had existed between the two oppositions had been closed within an instant and there was now no way of stopping him from destroying the golem.

With one swift but powerful jump, Harry moved his sword and swiped it across the monster's neck. The power behind his attack had caused his body to spin involuntarily. Harry finally made use of the energy accumulated from the spin to thrust his hand into the chest of the abominable being.

He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as the stinging pain from the grass surrounding the monster's torso ripped off pieces of flesh off his hand. Harry forced a smile on his face as he stomped the golem's abdomen with his feet and propelled himself away from it with all the strength he could muster within his legs.

Stomp!

The sound reverberated throughout the woods as Harry aced his flight by performing a backflip and landing on his feet. His legs shook a little due to the impact of the fall but he still stood his ground with his hand tightened around the hilt of his sword.

Thud!

Harry reduced his line of sight to the ground when his ear had picked up the sound from the place where the golem stood. He cleared the sweat on his face with his hand when he had noticed what had fallen on the ground. A smile instantly appeared on his face and he slammed his butt against the surface of the ground while looking at the system screen.

Harry stared at the screen in amazement as his body was rejuvenated once again and the wounds he had on his body had also slowly started to heal. The healing came with a soothing sensation which had caused Harry to shudder a little.

[Your actions are better than your words]

The system proclaimed finally while displaying the smily emoji once again. This had caused the vein on Harry's forehead to bulge a little due to been agitated by the new message. The anger persisted for awhile but it slowly vanished after he had realized that what the system had said was rather correct. A cold smile appeared on his face as he tightened his grip around the soul stone.
