Next, the blue fur began to spread all over his body and began to enhance it. This caused his strength to double and be increased from 200 units to 400.
While this was happening, he was directing lightning into the giant golden sword in his hands. This caused the golden sword to hum and vibrate.
The golden sword converted the lightning into explosive force. The reason it was vibrating was because tiny explosions were occurring across its edge.
By the time he was done preparing, the bull had reached him. The bull didn't make any fancy moves. It just kept its head down in order to mow him down.
But he made a fancy move. He dodged the bull at the last moment while sweeping the giant sword across the hooves of the bull.
The giant sword only managed to cut a tiny wound on the forelimb of the bull, but the force of the impact tripped the bull and caused it to stumble. The bull's head smashed into the ground as its momentum caused it to plow forward.
The bull quickly pulled its legs under it and stood. But things were already too late. Arthur had gotten behind it and was stabbing his giant sword into the only vulnerable spot that he could spot.
He had been hoping to cut off at least one leg from the bull earlier. But he wasn't able to do that because it felt as if he was cutting a rock, not flesh.
The collision between his sword and the bull's leg had informed him that the bull had reinforced every inch of its body with life force.
This would cause the bull to run out of life energy quickly, but it would make it nearly impossible for him to injure it critically in the meantime. So he decided to be creative.
He exerted strength in his legs and soared into the air. The ground cracked around his feet in order to propel him forward.
His body was carrying a lot of momentum, which he focused on his giant sword by extending it toward what he was about to crash into. The target being the anus of the bull.
The bull had just stood up when it was stabbed from behind. A giant sword had pried open its anus and embedded itself into it.
The bull's eyes widened in terror, and it screamed in pain.
"Mooooooooooo!"
It began to jump and kick in an attempt to dislodge the intruder in its rear. This forced Arthur to let go of the giant sword.
He knew that if he held onto the sword, his weight would cause it to be dislodged faster. He didn't want that, so he relinquished his precious sword to the bull's anus and switched to fighting with his gauntlets.
His gauntlets have been upgraded so they are more powerful and can conduct lightning now. They were able to pierce through the bull's tough hide and help him hang onto it after he jumped onto the bull.
He didn't want the bull to get rid of the giant sword sticking in its butt so easily, so he jumped onto the bull to distract it and maybe inflict more injuries on it while it was distracted.
It just so happened that the pain of having its anus ripped open by a giant sword made the bull unable to concentrate.
Reinforcing its whole body needed it to clench some of its muscles, including the sphincter muscles in its anus. This brought it a lot of pain because there was a giant sword always resisting the contraction of the sphincter muscle and causing it a lot of pain.
This is an acceptable and understandable weakness. Anyone would feel pain in this kind of situation. Unfortunately, the bull was among unsympathetic company.
Arthur only cared that the bull couldn't concentrate, so it couldn't maintain the total body enhancement of life force that it was using earlier. This gave him an opportunity he wasn't going to miss.
He wanted to kill the bull by ripping out its throat, but he didn't rush to do that because he might fail. His hand was just too small compared to the massive neck of the bull.
So instead of risking all of his current advantage on a single move that might fail, he decided to do something that wouldn't fail and would also improve his current advantages.
He grabbed onto the bull and made his way to its head. Then he grabbed the one eye that was still working with his hand.
His gauntlet dug deep into the eye of the bull. Then he pulled and ripped the eye out of its socket.
Because he was in a hurry, he didn't manage to gain enough grip on the eye. So what he ripped out of the socket was the surface of the eye, not the whole eye.
What he had done was to separate the bull's eye. But this was good enough for the situation. The bull became blind and completely at his mercy.
The bull mooed in pain again. But it continued to leap and buckle in order to throw him off. However, this time, he refused to let go.
He grabbed the hide around the bull's stomach and pulled. The hide tore open to reveal the bull's intestines.
The intestines were glowing, so their light leaked through the tear in its stomach. This glowing light understated the seriousness of the situation.
Arthur continued to rip open the bull's belly and caused more light to escape from the bull's body. His hand was small compared to the large body of the bull, so the injury he caused was small at first. But things got worse for the bull very quickly.
After breaking up the tough hide of the bull, he took out a spear from his pouch and stabbed it into the wound. He pushed the spear all the way through until it was too deep to be pulled out. Then he injected lightning into the spear.
