Versatile: Alternate World

So the main reason the fused monster are lacking certain features is that the three of them who transformed are actually blind, mute, and deaf. And here I thought they are here due to the reason for killing two of its companions. I was wrong since they seemed to be compatible with each other especially since they cover their weaknesses with each other.

And I also think I already knew the main reason why they are currently like this and have fused to each other already. Since they needed to be together, they wanted to fuse themselves together and form a complete being. But because we have interrupted the fusion process, their fusion process ended up in a disaster, forming their abomination-looking form.

They might have their sad circumstances but there is no choice for them and even if they do have it, they will still need to die especially since they are planning to revive the Cath Palug. Now that I have seen them do it, I am now certain that the reason the townspeople above are acting strangely is because of the spell they might have used for them to fuse themselves to one. As absurd as it may sound, that is all there is to it. To combine themselves. they decided to make use of the people above to be sacrificed to create the complete being.

"You all will die!" the blind and the deaf screamed at the top of their lungs as they march towards us."

"DODGE!" I shouted as the mass lump of flesh decided to attack.

BANG!

Its large stature landed on the floor of flesh and as the monster did, the floor of flesh shook and spikes made of flesh popped out from the floor and tried to pierce us. Shana and Gin were close too short of dodging the attack but Tina was quick and used her threads to grab the two and pull them out of harm.

"Sorry, but thank you..." Shana composes herself as she recovers from the first attack.

"No problem. Just make sure you guys keep an eye on the environment as that would spell your demise," Tina reminded them.

Lucia hurled multiple fireballs into the mass of flesh and compared to the cocoon, the fireballs barely did anything to the enemy and they seemed to either bounce off or just be absorbed by the lump of flesh.

"It looks like this guy is resistant to magic spells, sit this out Lucia, and support us at the back this time," I suggested.

Lucia nodded and activated a few skills that allowed her to buff our attack powers. This promptly allowed Atlas and I to get some additional stats to increase for a limited amount of time.

"We will fight too!" Gin and the other four declared.

"Alright but immediately back off if you guys felt like you don't feel like doing any kind of damage."

Atlas and I are the first to rush, using my Versatile Weapon, I started slashing through its flesh, and to my surprise, slashing it wasn't even hard as I managed to cut into its flesh without much problem. I was surprised since most of the time, the enemies with a flesh-like appearance like this guy had a tough flesh that would either harden or capable of becoming flexible that it would easily deflect my attack and yet this one didn't have those features.

Blood spurts out as I sliced through one of its arms. The two who can speak started to wail in pain while the third one who can't speak because of lacking a mouth is just shaking its head with a look that it is suffering in pain.

After my slash, Atlas swings his greatsword and attacks the lump of flesh. Before the greatsword lands on the body of the monster, it immediately creates a shield made from lumps of flesh, blocking off the attack. Of course, the meat shield wasn't even enough to block the huge greatsword of Atlas. It didn't even have enough durability to defend the lump of flesh monsters they are.

The others also attacked the lump of flesh but quickly backs off when they saw it stagger and try to get back up on its feet. I immediately saw the lump of flesh monster trying to regenerate its severed lump of flesh arm as it tried to stand back up.

"Don't let it recover! Attack!"

Since the lump of flesh f*ckers are too vulnerable to physical attacks, we abused it to a certain extent. Atlas is the one dealing the biggest damage while I am the one dealing the most attacks that caused the regeneration of the lumps to slow down quite a lot. Gin and the other three are also doing their best but it's not as high damage as how we do it.

Lucia and Tina are just there to give us buffs. Since they are magic based, they don't have any good damage against it so they decided to just support us by buffing our attacks, that way, even if they didn't attack they still contribute quite a lot to the damage output indirectly.

Whenever the lump of flesh tried to recover, I immediately inflict a critical attack on it, causing it to have trouble recovering from the previous damage it wanted to recover in the first place.

"Atlas, distract it from recovering while I deal with the lethal blow."

"Roger that!"

Just as we discussed, Atlas annoyed it by dealing semi-lethal attacks around its body and trying to cripple its movements by hitting its legs or sometimes, the body itself. As such, the lump of flesh focuses its attention on Atlas. With the mute and the deaf knowing the one trying to kill them, they decided to go to Atlas and deal against him first.

Of course, I already knew what they were about to do and since they were quite predictable, I decided to exploit that and attack while they are dealing with Atlas. I know that Atlas is quite difficult to defeat so I decided to take advantage of that and deal a lethal blow.

I leap high into the air and changed my weapon into Katana. I already purchased a few skills that I know will be useful for battles and one of them is this skill that I didn't forget to learn.

"[Decapitation]!"

There are currently three heads the Lump of meat monster has but I already knew which of the three heads I am going to decapitate first. Losing this head will prove their movement a lot harder.

SHRRRRRKKKK!

One slice and a head came off, falling to the ground.

"Lucia! Burn it!"

"Leave it to me, Master! [Incineration]!"

A large flame engulfed the head and it started screaming after being engulfed by the flames. With the scrams of the severed head, one of the heads immediately heard it as it has the most sensitive hearing.

Yes, the one that I have decapitated is none other than the deaf. The main reason I cut off the deaf before the others is because the deaf has all of the main features that can easily help portray the situation to the other heads, allowing them to fight effectively. Despite not being able to hear, the guy only needed to speak and see to function well.

With the deaf gone, the only heads left is blind and mute. The blind can hear and talk but what can it do if it loses the vision it needed? Then the one who has the vision and can hear cannot talk, how can the mute guy send the message to the blind without speaking?

I noticed earlier that despite merging into one being, their senses did not merge and they seemed like pilots of mecha that are trying to move their mecha at will. Losing one of their main eyes and mouth cripples their abilities a lot more.

"As expected of Master, you already thought of that quite far already," Atlas gives a big thumbs up.

"Don't let your guard down just because we got rid of one of the heads, we don't even know what will happen next and it might get real troublesome so quickly."

The mute is visibly angry but because it can't speak, it can only show its frustration on its face while the blind is yelling in frustration.

"Let's finish this!"

Now that the lump of flesh has limited movements now and having a hard time moving around, we took advantage of it and started attacking the lump of flesh. Despite the best efforts of the mute to act, without the cooperation of the blind as it cannot see, their actions are having a hard time having a good sync with each other.

When my [Decapitation] skill managed to finish its cooldown, I turned to look at Gin.

"Hey, did you see what I did earlier?"

"Yeah? The one where you cut off the head of the guy?"

"That one. You knew what skill I used?"

"[Decapitation], I think?"

"Yep, it's a samurai exclusive skill but since you are a samurai, surely you have it with you right?"

"Yes. I learned it but it has low damage output so I have less usage of it."

"Well, that is good that you already have it, perform that skill together with me and we end this battle against the lump of flesh together. This will serve as a good lesson on how to use that skill properly."
