Chapter 140: Fears

The way it moves, the way those plastic limbs move back and forth, the way it's every step creaks once its plastic feet hit the floor, is enough to give someone weak at the heart to have something they will fear for their dear life. I got some shivers at first, after all, this moving monster is something that is supposed to be an inanimate object. The only time I got scared by inanimate objects like mannequins is during the time I am still playing the Silent Hill series. Seeing one in real life will always give you a shock.

But I no longer fear these things. Especially that I have already seen much worse than these kinds of things. Since they are made of plastic, just throw some fireball to it and it will nicely burn like fuel.

"Hey, Kazuma. Am I seeing this sh*t right here? Isn't that the Anatomy Model in our school's infirmary?! Why the hell is it here?!" Godou sweats as he slowly back off.

"How should I know? You scouted this place first and this is the first time I step my foot in this realm. I don't know how to answer that question! Also, don't just back off! I can't handle all the monsters at once!"

"I didn't encounter this one before! Sh*t man! I have phobias in mannequins and things like these anatomy models! I will face every abomination presented to me, just not these kinds! If I have known we would be meeting one here, I would rather stay back at home and train instead of coming here!"

CLICK-CLACK-CLICK-CLACK-CLICK-CLACK

The sounds of the step are getting faster as we slowly back off. I am also hesitant to fight this monster. Besides it is creepy, it also looks disgusting since the anatomical model's open flesh with intestines and other organs inside looks too real.

Just as this monster will continue to move like those mannequins in Silent Hill, its abdomen suddenly opened like a mouth and a long intestine suddenly pulls out, grabbing one of my legs and also the leg of Godou who is already farther from me.

"Sh*t!"

It was too fast that I did not get to react and counter the fast intestine. I didn't panic because panicking will just stop you from thinking properly. However, it is always not the same as the others who share the same fate as you.

"F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK! AHHHHHHHHH! GET THE F*CK OFF MY LEG YOU SH*TTY BASTARD! WAAAAHHHHH!"

Godou desperately waved his body to remove the tentacle-like intestine that grabbed his feet.

"Calm down! Don't keep on panicking! It is not a real mannequin! That is a monster!"

"AAAAAHHHHH! JUST GET IT OFF ME!"

I lost hope on this one with Godou, to think he would be too afraid of a mannequin, but I can't blame him. Since he is no longer capable of fighting, it's time for me to do my battle.

SNAP!

Snapping my fingers, my hands immediately ignited into blue flames. To make sure the monster's tentacle-like appendages are taken care of, I made sure to make my flames hot. That way, the monster will be damaged even if they are resistant, though I doubt it since this thing is plastic, even the tentacles are hard and slippery which seems to be a plastic texture.

Since the monster just keeps us dangling in the air, I make myself sure that it stays that way and quickly started my counterattack. I swing my body slowly until I managed to get myself a good tempo. I sensed the monster is about to retract its tentacle back so before it can retract, I bend my body up and reach the tentacle wrapping my feet. With my hands, I quickly form them into a karate chop form, a single swing immediately melted the tentacles and got torn off from the main body.

Without wasting a single second, I burn the remaining appendages that were removed from the main body and fully released myself from the bind. As soon as I regain my freedom, the appendages on Godou's feet came next. Just like how I did it myself, a single swing allowed me to cut off the tentacle appendage and catching Godou.

But who said I will continue to carry him around? As soon as I managed to catch him, I put him down to the ground and returned my attention to the Anatomy Model. This time around, the Anatomy Model is no longer alone as the flying books and the moving materials in a school are already accompanying it.

Then, the realization sinks into me. My mouth is forming into a grin and my blood is pumping faster. It's been a while since I have enjoyed something. And now the feeling of the adrenaline rush finally kicks in.

"This battle is going to be fun!"

...

The rush of the battle slowly ran out when I also ran out of enemies to kill. The lesser enemies were all burned to ashes and those monsters who can easily withstand my flames were all roasted by my electricity combined with the water that came from my spell, [Water Torrent]. The mannequin did not even stand much chance against me. It was a fast monster but it wasn't fast enough that my eyes can't see the monster move around. Currently, the Anatomy Model monster is now reduced to a pool of plastic liquid after it melted after the battle. 

Then I just remembered Godou. When I look back to find him, I saw him curl up on the corner and shivering. From the looks of it, Godou seems to have shaken after encountering the mannequin. Since he said it was his phobia, looks like he deeply hates the mannequins and whenever there is one, he would never watch it. I have to snap him out of it.

"Yo, stop getting depressed, man. The mannequin is already gone, you can even check if that guy is still alive or not. Of course, you won't be troubled looking at the Anatomy model since it is no longer one."

Godou raised his head and looked around. His pale face slowly recovered color upon seeing the disappearance of the monster. He sighed in relief and he stood up from being curled up on the corner.

"Haaaa.... f*ck, that was the most frightening event that happened in all my life. I will remember that and will never come here again. Sorry about that Kazuma. Can we go back now? I don't think my mental health will be able to hold on that much longer. My knees are still shaking a lot and I don't think I can continue to fight monsters like this. Besides, I am drained and too tired to move."

I was hesitant to agree to his plea but since it was indeed not good for him to stay here, I decided to comply.

"If you still wanted to come back here for practicing your skills, then you can get inside here anytime as long as it is open. As for me, I think I won't be coming here for quite a while. I don't want to shorten my life that badly."
