Azure stared in horror at the monster's eye, a completely black eye with no trace of life inside it, giving a feeling of terror and fear. His fear increased even more after hearing Vladimir's scream.
"What happened? I thought it was dead!" Azure struggled to stand, his body trembling as he looked at the monster in fear. The monster was still trying to move its body, as if it were learning how to walk for the very first time.
"The monster is indeed dead. The energy coming from it is related to death magic. It seems the humans here were conducting experiments related to resurrection!" Vladimir calmed himself and explained.
The monster finished getting its movements under control and suddenly rushed toward Azure, spreading its claws and aiming them at him.
Eve quickly activated the augmented reality and calculated the best way to dodge the strike. As the claws approached, Azure ducked and jumped behind the monster. But he was shocked when the monster's tail lashed out like a whip, striking his chest with incredible force. The hit was so strong that it broke several ribs and sent him crashing into the opposite wall.
Azure tried to stand but vomited blood heavily. The pain turned Azure's face pale. He struggled to breathe, already hearing Vladimir and Lycarius shouting at him to move faster as the monster closed in.
The monster was indeed in front of him quickly and struck with its claws again. Azure tried to move to the side, but the claw pierced his back. The monster lifted him by his back and threw him far, smashing him into the desk.
Damn it! Azure cursed internally as he pressed on the desk and stood with difficulty. He pressed his hand against his mouth to stop the blood, looking at the monster with eyes full of blood. The monster approached slowly, preparing to strike again with its claw.
Azure stared at the claw as it approached quickly, feeling death closing in fast. He closed his eye in fear and despair.
But something was wrong; he didn't feel any… pain! He slowly opened his eyes and saw a transparent blue shield on the verge of breaking in front of him. He was shocked by the change.
"What the fuck are you doing?! Run!" Lycarius shouted in anger. Azure quickly moved away from the claw before the shield broke. The shield lasted only a few seconds before shattering, but Azure had already avoided the attack.
"What… happened?" Azure was breathing heavily, staring in shock. He didn't expect to survive.
Vladimir replied excitedly, "That was magical energy. It came from you. Try to use it again!"
Azure was shocked, "How?"
"I don't know. Remember what you felt before activating the shield."
What I felt? All I felt was fear of death! Azure tried to recall any other feeling ,but he couldn't
The monster approached again slowly and attacked once more. He was too weak to dodge, All he could do was quickly cross his arms in front of his body, but the monster's claws didn't reach and were blocked again by another transparent shield.
Again! He was happy he succeeded, but he still didn't know how he summoned the shield!
[Eve can help master with this.] As soon as she finished speaking, several transparent blue windows appeared before him.
[Congratulations for discovering your element.]
[your element is: Water]
[Congratulations for discovering your element specialization.]
[Specialization: Healer]
Healer? Azure was shocked as he looked at the windows. The information began appearing in his mind one after another, teaching him how to summon mana in his body and harness it for his power.
He looked at the transparent shield, which was about to break, and use his mana to repaired it. Then used the healing skill to heal his body.
Lycarius and Vladimir were shocked by his specialization. Unlike Azure, who knew nothing about this world, the specialization was a natural thing. Although a person doesn't choose their element, they can choose their desired specialization, but it seemed Azure's specialization was already chosen.
[Although Eve doesn't fully trust the data taken from the system, she is glad this part was helpful. As for master's specialization, it was chosen based on master's personality.]
'Personality?!' Vladimir was shocked, but after a moment, he understood what it meant. 'The boy's thoughts indeed focus on 'protection,' and he argued with Lycarius about the species… interesting.'
The monster kept striking the shield, and Azure repaired it every five seconds. His body was already returning to perfect condition. He moved his body and felt a great energy inside him. He touched the claw wounds on his back and found it completely healed. He was shocked to discover that the coat and T-shirt had returned to their original state. Before he could ask, a window appeared before him.
[Secret passive of Ocean Heart Coat unlocked: Self-repairing using water magic]
Well… honestly, if we ignore the collapsed building, the injuries, and the pain suffered from the monster, this journey was indeed highly fruitful. He regained his memories, unlocked his element and specialization. All he needed was to find a way back… Azure was happy with the changes that happened to him, but his joy was interrupted by the monster's loud scream.
Damn it, I need to deal with this thing first! He tried to see if there were any offensive abilities, but he discovered his specialization focused entirely on defense and healing. Crap!
He began searching the room for the pistol, it fallen from his hand when he was thrown. He swallowed hard and asked Vladimir, "Is there a way to kill someone resurrected by death magic?"
"The mind. The energy that resurrected it is extremely weak. Destroying the mind should be enough to solve the problem."
"Does that mean if the energy is higher, that method won't work?" Azure asked in confusion.
He heard no reply. Rolling his eyes, he went back to searching the room. The monster attacked with both claws and its tail, forcing Azure to repair the shield every two seconds.
But he didn't have to search for long. He spotted the pistol on the other side of the room, near the wall.
Even though he had the shield now and the monster wasn't very smart, he could have just walked there. But he decided to use one of his new abilities and opened the skill window.
