First blood

There was a small distance between us, less than ten meters.

He planted his feet on the asphalt and made a sharp leap forward.

With one spurt, he picked up speed like Usain Bolt in his prime. It was clear that his physical qualities transcended human limits.

As he approached, he began to swing both his kagune and his right arm at the same time.

The kagune came first, which I was able to fight off and immediately blocked his right hand, but then from the left hand, I flew a direct blow to the jaw.

I was disoriented for a moment and missed a kagune strike on the ribs, flying back I made a couple of three rolls on the asphalt, gradually slowing down, I finally stopped 15 meters from him.

- %#^&*!@)(&$@( - he said

- Bitch, what is he muttering? Although, I'll soon find out... Only this extra limb gives him a huge advantage. The hand punch was strong, like a top boxer, but the kagune punch was 1.5-2 times stronger, but what surprised me was the strength of my bones. It doesn't even seem to have a crack. I said as I slowly got up.

- I don't have enough experience, I've fought a couple of times in my whole life ... and then, in the kindergarten. - I say, preparing for a new attack.

And again a jerk from the enemy, but this time I did not stand in full defense. I hit the asphalt and with all my strength made a dash towards the enemy.

My speed exceeded it, and already, in less than a second, there was a contact.

He, seeing that my momentum exceeded his, did not dare to accept the attack head-on. His kagune twisted violently and hit my leg while I was in flight, changing my and his trajectory.

He himself calmly landed on his feet, and I flew behind him and again kissed the asphalt a couple of times.

- $#&$&@#)$@# - he said again.

- Well, I need to think of something, otherwise I can't even get close to him. Wait, why should I approach him if I can use his main advantage? - a grin appeared on my face

I slowly got up again, assuming a defensive stance, ready to take another blow.

The ghoul lunges at me sharply again and strikes the kagune in the unprotected stomach.

And something happened that the ghoul never expected. Instead of flying away from such a blow, I abruptly bent down and grabbed his kagune with my hands…

- Heh heh heh I got it...

I planted my feet on the asphalt and made a sharp horizontal turn with my body, slamming the ghoul into the wall.

*Crunch* *Crunch*

At the same time, the crunch of both the wall and the ghoul was heard.

Not letting him come to his senses, I swung the ghoul already vertically, slamming him into the asphalt

*Crunch*

And again I heard, for some reason pleasant, the crunch of his bones.

Gul lost consciousness, I, not losing this opportunity, ran up to him. Grabbing his head, I hit it with all my strength on the asphalt.

*poof*

His head shattered like a watermelon thrown from the window of a high-rise building.

- Damn, I overdid it ... I'll have to find some kind of reservoir and wash it off myself.

*Ding*

< Absorb? (Yes/No) (when consumed, you will gain additional experience, 10% of the creature's most important memory, and the ability to take the form of this creature) >

< Warning: when obtaining a creature's memory, there may be a side effect. >

- Hmm... can you explain what the side effect is?

But there was no answer.

- You'll have to find out for yourself. - I chose yes

And then different whips, consisting of muscles, began to crawl out of my body.

<Absorption begins, memory transfer begins...>

- Aaaaaaaaaaa!

And then I felt unbearable pain. Blood flowed from my eyes, ears, nose, mouth.

It was clear that my brain couldn't handle the load.

- S-system... convert... all experience points into SP... and then into intelligence. - Mentally said, I'm trying not to lose consciousness

<XP -5000>

< Intelligence: +5 >

The blood has stopped flowing, but the pain has not gone away yet. Only after 3 minutes I was released. There were also notifications from the system.

*Ding*

< Grade B Ghoul Absorption: +1000 XP Reward >

<Creature's memory is successfully absorbed>

A bunch of different information appeared in my naked, but I heard a loud sound of footsteps approaching me. So the first thing I decided was that it was time to run away, until someone else came here, screaming.

I decided that the best escape route would be the rooftop.

I tensed my legs and made a sharp jerk up the wall, clinging to the small holes between the bricks and slowly rising.

Soon I climbed up and ran, jumping from roof to roof, finding a quieter place below, I went down and, making sure that there was no one nearby, I began to review my memories.
