As the ogre let out a roar, I suddenly felt a debuff called "stun," borrowing the term from the games I played, a debuff that prevented oneself from moving. I attempted to use my willpower to move, like in the movies where the hero overcomes fear that cause paralysis to face off against the villain with virtue and words, but unfortunately, it didn't work.

Recognizing that life is not that simple, I decided to strengthen my computing capacity to speed up my thinking process. I used the program that Makina made to review myself and analyze the situation. My analysis revealed that some sort of force was restricting me by wrapping itself around my entire body and creating a strange, red membrane.

Immediately after the analysis, I made up conclusions about how to overcome this adversity.

I gathered mana and activated the skill "Mimicry," gathering the essence of the cast debuff.

^Skill 'Mimicry' activated^

^Designating the essence to collect

^Designating essence to collect

^Designated essence is ready to collect

^Permission to proceed^

"Go."

^Permission granted^

As I say "go," the skill begins to collect the designated essence, which is the 'stun' debuff cast by the ogre knight.

^Essence collected: 4%^

^Essence collected: 7%^

^Essence collected: 13%...

...Essence collected: 41%^

At an incredible rate, the skill collected the essence for me to use, as it is about to reach half a percentage.

The ground trembles, and as I look where it possibly came from, the quicksand that I made hardened back to its original state, making the ogre knight all waist below with its weapon dipped into the quicksand before getting stuck at the hardened ground, back at the original state.

It also filled up the pit that I dug where the ogre knight fell, slowly covering the ogre knight.

But, with all its might, the ogre golem knight exerts force to rise from the felled pit, now slowly trying to cover the golem ogre knight, or ogre knight for short.

The ogre knight, with its tremendous strength, pulls out its blunt weapon-like bat from the ground, causing the ground to be pulled out with the bat that the ogre is trying to unstuck from the ground

The ground crumbles as the ogre knight forcefully pulls out its weapon from the ground, making some portion of the ground be pulled out and some pieces even attached to the bat, making the appearance of the bat more frightening than before.

Despite the knight helmet, I was still able to see the glint of its eyes as they glowed red.

The ogre knight, with its two hands holding the bat, raises the weapon in the sky, and for a second stops in its middle position, and as if not to pass the second, in a blink, struck me down with a swift strike.

The strike arrived, causing the ground to crumble, and in a second, a powerful shockwave came to follow suit, as if to show how powerful the strike was.

The ground is upturned, making the earth rise from the ground's surface, making the ground look like it's been rooted and turned by a powerful earthquake.

The scene is spectacular and horrifying, thinking that if I'm not able to get out of that position, I might be in oblivion right now.

°Loid, are you alright?°

"Yes, thank you. If you didn't save me just now, I would know if I got reincarnated again or not"

I will take precautions after we get through this ordeal. For now, I shall stick by your side, ready to alternate myself for precautions in this ordeal.°

After Makina said that, it pulled me towards itself, or more like toward the vessel that Makina dwells in, and stepped aside to avoid the strike in those moments mentioned

Well, even though I talk about it nonchalantly, the experience itself is blood to bone and flesh even a chilling scary experience

Well, leaving this aside,

"I have a feeling that you implying something Makina"

"like 'you're going to sacrifice yourself to save me' implication type of thing"

°...°

".....haa(sigh), if that you trying to imply, then you better not do it, no, don't do it"

°It for Loid then-°

"and you should not, and besides, the future will surely be dim without your presence, so you better think of other alternatives"

°....computing other alternatives°

"Haha, more importantly"

^Essence collected: 50%^

"(Yosh, I have enought essence to make resistance against this stunt)"

I immediately gather the collected essence and use 'Shapeshift' to create resistance against it

^Do you wish to turn collected essence to create resistance against 'Stunt'^

"Yes"

With Makina System at my assistance or more like most work will be done by the system but still helping

^Starting the Creation of the Resistance^

^Processing Essence for the Resistance Creation^

^Processing^

^Processing Complete^

^'Stunt Resistance' is complete^

My body breaks free as the system announces the completion of the resistance and not to waste a second

I fuse with Makina and take control of the fuse body, with Makina's Permission of course, and with 'Shapeshift' make an immediate makeshift earth wall using the dungeon ground

With Makina's assistance, the Shapeshift earth wall is a studier that I made before as Makina helped with the computation of how to make it

Making it able to stand the ogre bat slam that barely cracked the surface of the earth wall we made, and with great computational power, we were even able to participate attack before the ogre thought about it

In short, while Makina and I talking, we already forming this wall participating in the ogre knight action

And in this moment too, we already conclude how we end this

The earth wall fully covers the corridor making it like that dead end because of the wall we lake

Making us, Makina and me, completely isolated from the ogre from the other side of the wall

Because of this

([Psstt])(Something leaking)

The ogre knight looked around to where the sound came from and tracked the sound

The ogre knight found out that below the ground there a multiple small holes near the wall that appear

But after that, more surprising in the perspective of the ogre knight happen

Another wall appears at the back of the knight, completely trapping the ogre knight

The knight raises its bat and slams the wall, but like before it barely cracks the wall

The ogre knight continued to strike the wall that separated the ogre knight from its enemies but the wall was still able to stand despite the that it almost looked like about to crumble down

As the ogre knight is about to land the last strike that surely crumbles the wall

The sound of leaking stopped, the sound came from, and the next second, a small spark appeared from where it leaked what followed in an instant are blinding red light

Following suit, a tremendously loud bang is heard

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We feel the strong tremor of the tremendous explosion that we set at the other side of the wall, where the ogre knight is

Cause by a simple chemical reaction concerning the use of methane, that came from the gas stove or more like came from a propane tank, mimicking it with my Mimicry after I collected its essence, making me able to produce something similar substance using my skill and magic after the essence is collected

Well, leaving aside the Chemistry behind it, the wall that we Makina broke as the Explosion happened

Participating in this, we make a dome to surround ourselves to protect ourselves from the explosion and its aftermath when the ogre knight golem tries to bring down the wall

"I hope it's dead"

°Base on the data gathered, the chances are null°

"Well just saying"

As Makina said, after we take down the wall, although the ground, wall, and ceiling are destroyed, it regenerates at its rate while the ogre knights are slowly gathering at their rate

"It looks like an ant hill building at a fast rate as if it fast forward when the ant builds it like the nature show I see"

°Base of the speed of regeneration, it will be fully back after a minute

([Bang])([Bang])([Bang])(Gunshots)

([Clack])(Sound of reloading)

"How about now?"

°...base on the speed of regeneration, it will be fully back after 2 minutes

"What!?,only minute added, what a foul"

([Bang])(Gunshot)

"Don't have to compute it again, Makina"

°...it advises that we have to move fast if we want to further our distance

"Right, we better keep going"

After I say it, I raise my arm, and a second after, it bloated like a balloon and took a gigantic form in a few seconds and took a familiar form, the van

I cut off my hand to disconnect my arm from the vehicle

And then open the guest door to the guest sit

"After you, I will drive"

°...As you command°

Makina heed my words and enter and sit at the car sit I intended Makina to sit and I take the driver sit and start driving

A minute later, I crash the van, and Makina take over

"(What a humiliation)"

As I shy away myself into this humiliation
