I Became A Zompirewolf

Chapter 135 - Dungeon Slayer (2)

It might look like Ashton had a plan, but in all honesty, he didn't. All he knew was that he was facing an enemy who had more than 6 levels than him. Normal strategies wouldn't work against him and there was no way he would have survived a head-on battle with the Gorillan.

Also, he could not use the rest of his genes because Seven could appear there at any moment. And Ashton did not want him to know his secret because Seven would have immediately reported it to Jonathan. Who in turn would have had Ashton dissected in hopes of obtaining the secret to his powers and possibly replicating it. 

But Ashton wasn't that big of a fool to take on the Gorillan without thinking about everything. He was aware that the Gorillan had lower intelligence and agility than him. While He wasn't sure how he would use the Gorillan's low intelligence against him but he knew of a way to use his agility against him. Like he was doing now. 

'As long as I can dodge the bastard's attacks and keep inflicting wounds on him using [Aggravate], he would sooner or later bleed to his death.' Ashton thought as he once again charged right into the Gorillan. 

In theory, his plan should have worked, but it was taking too much time. All thanks to the thick fur shrouding the Gorillan. The fur attacked as a layer of armour for the Gorillan and well, most of Ashton's attacks were being rendered useless because of the Gorillan's resistance to piercing damage.

Also, Ashton was having a hard time getting through the Gorillan's fur while only using his werewolf claws. In other words... Ashton's attacks were only giving the bastard shallow wounds which did not seem to have any lasting effects on the gorillan. 

Then there was the problem of Ashton slowly succumbing to his bloodlust. The more he used [Aggravate], the more he seemed to be losing his shit. However, he wasn't the only one losing his mind.

Even though Ashton's attacks only felt like mosquito bites to the Gorillan, they were enough to make the gorillan even more irritated than he already was. Thus, he too was losing his focus. Twice the gorillan had the opportunity to smack Ashton away from him, but he missed both opportunities hilariously. 

But there was a ray of hope shining brightly at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to gorillan's missed attacks, Ashton was continuously making his way towards level 15.

'Almost halfway through...' Ashton sighed heavily as he managed to dodge yet another attack, 'but I'm getting a bit tired now.'

The gorillan had quite some endurance, but Ashton who had now been continuously fighting for hours was starting to have a hard time. He had not taken this into account but his endurance was lacking after chasing around the Monklins. 

Chasing and killing Monklins was fun, but they also ended up sucking his endurance up like vampires sucking the blood of their victims. 

"Where the fck is Seven!?" Ashton yelled out in frustration, "If he doesn't want to show up at least tell me somehow so that I can use my other genes to pound this bastard down!"

Seven was at least at level 30. For him handling the Gorillan should have been an easy task. But for some bullshit reason, he wasn't there yet. Little did Ashton know Seven had been there for a long time, hiding in the trees and studying more about Ashton's fighting style like Jonathan had instructed him to do. 

Seven might have been appointed to accompany Ashton in the dungeon, but his second set of instructions had been very clear. He was to let Ashton grow on his own without interfering and watch him through the shadows. 

But Jonathan was not all that heartless... well, actually he was but he didn't want Ashton to die before he had accomplished all of the tasks assigned to him. Thus Seven was allowed to interfere once he deemed Ashton to be in grave danger, but not a second before it was absolutely necessary. 

"I already lost his sight while fighting the Monklins and couldn't gather the initial data on him. But I'm not gonna miss this chance again." Seven mumbled to himself before taking out his sword and sharpening it, "It doesn't look like the kid will be able to finish off the gorillan for some time. Might as well use it to do something productive."

In the meantime, Ashton kept doing whatever he could to chip away some of Gorillan's HP. Slowly, the shallow wounds he had been inflicted started piling up on top of each other. On top of that, since the wounds couldn't heal unless either Ashton allowed them to or he got knocked out, the gorillan was continuously losing blood. Enough blood to make him lose 100 HP per minute. 

However, because of the absurdly high amount of health the gorillan had, it would take him well over an hour before to die because of blood loss and Ashton wasn't sure if he had enough endurance to keep it going for that long. 

"Alright... time to come up with a new strategy," Ashton mumbled and deactivated [Aggravate] skill before he went completely berserk, "since the idea of chipping away his HP isn't working, I'd have to focus on levelling up instead."

There were four ways for him to get exp quickly. Killing something, attacking something or dodging hits and last was getting hit. 

Since killing the gorillan was out of option and attacking and dodging wasn't giving him as much exp as he wanted... it left him with one option only. He had to allow the Gorillan to hit him and hope he wouldn't die before levelling up. 

It was a risky move... Nah, it was probably the shittiest plan anyone had ever made in the history of the planet. But he was the only one who could come up with such a suicidal plan. Though for once, Ashton did not care about it in the least. 

"Looks like I am a masochist... damn that bitchy mistress! She turned me into something so despicable." Ashton gritted his teeth hard and shut his eyes before walking right under the Gorillan, "Do it, bastard, fulfil your desire!"

"The hell is he doing!?"

Seven saw everything from the tree he was hiding him and immediately rushed to help Ashton. But he was too late.. Ashton was too close to the gorillan and got hit right in the head before Seven could reach them.
