'How... my perception skill isn't working?' Ashton thought while wiping dust off of himself.
Even though Hydra used most of his strength in that attack, the short tail did not do much damage. Thanks to [Blood Armour] skill.
[You thought the trial was going to be simple? The trials mess with your senses and technically, your Perception is a sense as well. As a result, it was compromised in this trial and possibly for the rest of them as well.]
'I really am a lazy bastard.' Ashton shook his head, 'How could I not notice it earlier? Thankfully, the tail did not break any bones or shit. But I should be careful regardless.'
Since [Perception] was the first skill Ashton had learned, therefore, he never had an opportunity to fight without it and he had subconsciously developed some sort of dependence on it. It was one of the important skills in Ashton's arsenal. Fighting without it was going to be a pain.
But the reality was a bit different since he had been fighting well with the hydra without realising it. Upon noticing that, Ashton became confident he could fight back. All he needed to do was keep the rest of his senses at their peak performance. Or... use a broken ability to aide him.
[You're deadset on killing the Hydra?]
'Nope. I'm still aiming for the time to run out. But until it does, I'm gonna have a bit of fun myself.'
[I know that smile... you reckless bastard, you are aiming for Hydra's skill!]
'It would be a waste not to.' Ashton's smile got even wider.
Whether it be the Hydra's regeneration speed or the poison ability, Ashton did not care as long as he could get his hands on one of those two skills. However, if he could choose one ability, he would go for the poison one.
After all, he already had quite an effective healing ability in the form of [Regeneration]. Not to mention, he had no interest in spouting dual limbs or heads like the Hydra. Having multiple heads might suit the monster, but it definitely wouldn't suit someone like him.
With these reasons in his mind, Ashton was leaning towards learning the poison skill more than Hydra's regen ability. As for the Hydra, maybe he sensed Ashton's ominous stare or maybe his reaction was from the pain of losing his head, but the creature immediately charged at his enemy.
Ashton saw the Hydra sprinting towards him, yet he did not move from the stop. Instead, he waited for the enraged creature to get closer. Patience was going to be the key to victory, reckless moves won't do him any good.
Even though he wasn't a Xyran or a Precursor, Ashton was still quite strong. Strong enough to hold his ground until the time ran out. The Hydra, on the other hand, wanted to end his opponent as soon as possible. Thus, was bound to make mistakes.
'Let's heat up your anger a bit more, Shall we?'
The relaxed expression on Ashton's face was an indicator of what was going to happen next. However, by the time Hydra realised something was wrong, it was already too late.
