That bard is such a charmer!

Chapter 111 The Gift of the Flowing Water Rock-Smashing Fist

Richard: ?

This secret manual has surprisingly spoken up on its own after so long!

And you want me to throw a punch? What does that mean?

[Literal meaning: youth]

Have you forgotten the time? The thirty-day period is up, and today is the day I should give you your gift!

What you need to do now is calm down, cast aside your fear of the enemy, and throw this final punch!

Believe me, the path to salvation lies within it—

Oh.

Now, I guess I don't have the right to not believe it anymore?

Since there's no other way, let's risk our lives and give it a try!

Richard took a deep breath, forcibly ignoring Ravenna who was getting closer and closer, and roused his heavily injured body to swing his fists methodically.

The scene resembled college students encountering an armed robber and then spontaneously practicing military boxing.

Ravenna across from her frowned slightly and stood there stunned for several seconds.

However, she quickly snorted, raised her hand, and once again conjured a blood-red whip, preparing to lash out at Richard.

Although I don't know what this human wants to do—

But killing them again would definitely be the right thing to do!

You mere defeated opponent, just die already!

And at that very moment.

You have received a great gift pack containing the Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist manual.

The description even includes the word "big"—I'd like to see just how big it is!

Richard didn't dare delay and quickly opened it.

[You have entered a wondrous state of enlightenment; the skill level of Flowing Water Rock Smash Fist has been upgraded to Proficient.]

You have gained 1 point of Constitution.

You have gained 1 point of Perception.

You have learned the Tier 2 combat skill: Power of the Spring. You can quickly restore your stamina and heal injuries by regulating your breathing. You can use it a maximum of twice a day.

Note: "I prefer to call it the power of hiccups." [Liquid Man Dudu]

[You have learned a Tier 3 combat skill: Vortex Power. You can manipulate a certain amount of liquid within your field of vision, making it suspend and helping you defend or attack. The higher your Charisma and Perception bonuses, the more liquid you can manipulate, and the greater the precision and power.]

Note: "Guess what? I can use this move to make myself fly!" [Liquid Man mutters]

[The Secret Manual of Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist: Young man, here's one last piece of advice: blood is like flowing water. She can control it, so why can't you? Relax your mind and body, and try to feel the energy flowing within.]

Wow, this is a real treat! Is this the reward for sticking with it for thirty days?

Blood is also flowing water, hey, you know what I mean —

Richard glanced at the skills and then closed the system panel. Just then, Ravenna's scarlet whip flew right in front of him with a crackling sound.

There was no time to think further.

He surrendered his body to his intuition, to his understanding of the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist.

With light footsteps, his hands moved in seemingly slow but actually fast circles in the air.

The blood that had been almost flowing backward due to the vampire's influence calmed down again, and the severe wound on his chest was rapidly healing under the nourishment of the gushing spring power.

The whip in front of him, which was about to strike him with a sharp wind, suddenly slowed down and finally swayed slightly before being captured by his vortex power!

Then, the whip disintegrated into its original blood, which then condensed back into several throwing knives, but no longer aimed at Richard, but at Ravenna, who was a vampire!

Ravenna: "!"

What... what's going on?

How come the blood she controlled turned against her and attacked her?

What did this human do?

What kind of power is this?

I've never seen anything like it before!

Could it be that the other person isn't human, but a vampire? No, that's impossible!

For a moment, the female vampire's brain went blank, so much so that she only hurriedly raised her hand to slap away Richard's blood-stained knives when they were about to pierce her, thus splattering blood all over her face.

"Ha! You look like an old sow with its face buried in swill!"

Richard, fully recovered, promptly unleashed a barrage of hurtful words.

He then opened his dimensional bag, took out a bottle of magic potion and a bottle of stamina potion, gulped them down, picked up the longsword that had just landed, and charged towards Ravenna!

"Damn it, what tricks are you playing, human?!"

Ravenna cursed, but because she had failed to kill anyone twice and instead had been sprayed in the face by her opponent, she was a little nervous and dared not take the sword attack head-on.

She then used the same tactic again, using her speed to get behind Richard and attempt a sneak attack.

Then she was surprised to find that even though she had dodged and there was no target in front of her, Richard was still charging forward.

Did they not realize it yet?

Wait a minute, this human's speed, though not as fast as mine, is still far superior to that of an ordinary human. It shouldn't be like this—wait, could it be that his self-identification isn't me?

not good!

"You've been fooled, you old sow! This is my planned attack route!"

Richard, still hurling insults, laughed as he charged toward the end of the barn, toward the six-pointed star magic circle painted on the wall!

That's his real goal.

Although he received the super gift package of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist manual, Richard knew that in terms of raw strength, he was still inferior to Ravenna.

The problem is, he didn't even need to fight Ravenna one-on-one in the first place!

His goal, from beginning to end, was simply to destroy the magic circle that sealed off the world within the painting.

"Break it!"

At this moment, Richard bypassed Ravenna and finally arrived in front of the magic circle. He chanted a spell and unleashed the Shattering Sound Wave!

Rumble!

With a thunderous roar, the walls of the barn were instantly cracked, and the magic circle on them crumbled into a pile of wood chips and fragments.

You're done!

Now it's up to Dunk. Hopefully, this champion ancestor of the Schneider family will live up to expectations.

Richard took a deep breath, turned around, and faced Ravenna, whose face was ashen.

The latter then spread his fingers again, one on the left and one on the right, conjuring two scarlet longswords in his hands, and slowly approached.

"Damn humans, don't think that—"

"Hey buddy, are you okay?"

Suddenly, a cheerful shout interrupted Ravenna's words.

But Dunk and his entourage appeared at the barn door and said to Richard, "I've completed my mission. Seeing that you hadn't arrived at the agreed location, I thought you might need some help, so—am I late?"

Richard laughed heartily: "Of course it's not too late, Brother Dunk!"

Meanwhile.

Outside the oil painting.

The crowd's emotions rose and fell with Richard's battle, eventually settling on shock and admiration.

"He actually succeeded! It's unbelievable!"

"Not only was he not killed by the vampires, but he also destroyed the magic circle right in front of them!"

"And what kind of ability is that to control blood? I've lived all these years and I've never even heard of it!"

"Guys, hold your praises just yet—"

Grace called out to stop everyone, then poked a finger into the painting, a murderous smile playing on her lips: "—It seems we can go in now~"
