Lynn was wrestling and rolling around while gripping that left hand.
For a moment, the entire room was in complete chaos.
"Stop boasting! You wretched creature! Don't think just because I'm attached to your body that I won't dare to move against you! You little brat!"
Lynn forcefully pressed the left hand toward the other side, swearing angrily:
"Come on then! Give it your best shot! You think I, Lynn, would be afraid of a mere hand?!"
This is rebellion! Absolute rebellion!
How dare a tiny mutation act so arrogantly!
Today, no matter what, he must eliminate it—even if it means sacrificing this left hand forever!
Without another word, Lynn mustered all his strength and charged furiously toward a wall, slamming the left hand against it with a crash.
[Lynn's HP -1][??? HP -1]
"You dare crash into me! Eek—take this!"
Swish—
In an instant.
The tongue in that left hand's mouth instantly extended several times its length, shooting straight toward Lynn's face.
Clearly, if that terrifying tongue managed to pierce him, even if he didn't die, it would leave a massive hole.
Just as that tongue was about to run Lynn through.
Lynn seized the moment and viciously opened his mouth.
Crunch—
Left Hand (ΩДΩ): "Wah yah yah yah—"
Lynn bit down hard on that tongue.
[??? HP -10]
[Lynn HP -10]
Taking advantage of this opening, Lynn gritted his teeth and instantly dashed into the adjacent operating room.
He grabbed a cleaver, raised it fiercely, and prepared to slice his own left hand clean in two.
"Die—wah (ba)—yi (ni)—"
But at this critical moment, the left hand forcefully whipped its tongue, sending Lynn stumbling backward and crashing to the ground.
The cleaver fell heavily to the floor with a sharp clang.
But Lynn's ferocious determination had already been ignited.
Today, one of them must die!
Without hesitation, Lynn snatched up the cleaver that had fallen to the ground with fierce determination.
The left hand was equally unyielding, instantly gritting its teeth and grabbing a scalpel from the operating table in rage.
"Bring it on! Let's hurt each other!"
Clang—
The two blades clashed together instantly, sparks flying everywhere, ringing like bells and drums.
Lynn kept pressing forward with intense determination, saying:
"You're finished! Today I'll chop you up first, then preserve you in a medicine bottle as a specimen!"
The left hand also pressed down hard with its blade angrily, saying: "Just try it! F*** you!!"
Clang—
For a while, Lynn and his left hand fiercely swung their blades, neither showing any mercy as they hacked at each other.
For a moment, blade met blade, sparks exploding and flying in all directions.
They fought their way from the operating room to the alchemy room, from the alchemy room to the front hall, and finally from the front hall to the backyard—for a time, neither could gain the upper hand, and the battle reached a stalemate!
[Ding! Your combat ability +1]
After battling with his own left hand for over ten minutes.
Clang—
Their blades once again crashed together fiercely, locking them in another tense standoff.
"I'll give you one chance—if you voluntarily leave my body now, I'll spare your life!"
"I should be the one saying that, you know!! If you obediently let me eat your head, then I'll let you go, you know!"
"So there's no room for negotiation?!"
"Who wants to negotiate with you! I'll kill you!"
Clang—
Right at the peak of their fierce battle, the two blades slammed together with tremendous force, the massive recoil sending both weapons flying out of their grasps.
The more agile left hand instantly seized the opportunity, opening its enormous mouth angrily and engulfing Lynn's head.
"I'll eat you!!"
Facing this critical moment, Lynn could no longer afford to hold back.
Lynn abruptly shoved his right arm into that giant mouth, straining with fierce effort to keep its jaws apart to prevent it from biting off his neck.
Once again, the battle reached a stalemate.
"You—are—finished!"
The left hand thrashed violently, fiercely shoving Lynn hard to the ground, but Lynn finally managed to wrench his head free from its mouth during the struggle.
Seeing that ferocious giant mouth flailing wildly before him.
Lynn gritted his teeth.
"Who's finished remains to be seen!"
Right at this critical juncture, as he lay on the ground, Lynn suddenly spotted among a collection of bottles and jars the perfectly preserved bottle of pesticide he had concocted.
Instantly, Lynn felt like he had seen a ray of hope.
That's right!
This seemed to be the last bottle remaining from before he blacked out!
At this moment.
Lynn gritted his teeth fiercely, rolled over, opened his mouth and precisely clamped onto that pesticide bottle, then flipped over, pinning the massively swollen left hand beneath him.
And right at that instant, the left hand saw the cruel, cold smile spreading across Lynn's face.
It also saw the pesticide bottle clenched in his teeth.
Left Hand: "Wah yah yah yah (ΩДΩ)!!"
[??? Fear of you +10]
"You can't open the bottle cap! Don't even think about it!" The left hand (ΩДΩ) struggled violently.
"Si (shi) wah (ma)?"
Lynn sneered coldly.
Right under the left hand's watchful eye, Lynn instantly activated Flesh Calamity.
A miniature, tiny hand slowly grew on his cheek, then right before its eyes.
Pop—
Pulled out the stopper of the medicine bottle.
Left Hand: "Wah ah ah ah (ΩДΩ)!!!"
Instantly.
Amid the left hand's high-frequency terrified screams, a full bottle of pesticide gurgled and poured into its mouth.
"Choke on it! I'll choke you to death!"
"Stop! Stop!!"
A dozen seconds later.
Burp—
The left hand went limp in place, continuously burping.
Its entire mouth was filled with sticky, strange liquid, fishy and hard to swallow.
Filled... completely filled...
"......"
[Ding! Host, you have acquired abnormal status: Pesticide Poisoning (Mild)!]
[Warning! Warning! The pesticide you ingested has triggered a reaction with residual toxins in your body, toxicity is counterattacking!]
[Ding! Your abnormal status: Pesticide Poisoning (Mild) has changed to: Pesticide Poisoning (Severe)!]
Lynn was stunned.
Buzz—
Lynn's expression instantly went blank.
No!
He had forgotten!
If his own poisoning would affect this mutant too, then feeding poison to this mutant would mean he also...
Instantly.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle—
His stomach churned violently.
A massive urge to vomit instantly surged from every capillary throughout his entire body.
His complexion rapidly shifted from white to red, from red to purple, from purple to green.
Lynn (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)—
The left hand muttered blankly: "You... foolish host... poisoning me... you'll also... also..."
Left Hand (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)—
Instantly, Lynn suddenly turned, forcefully pushed open the cellar door, and began vomiting violently inside.
Urgh—
[Ding! Little Treasure's favorability toward you -10!]
The left hand in O(x﹏x)o state struggled to climb up, forcefully grabbed a nearby knife, and tremblingly prepared to strike Lynn.
Kill you...
Kill you, you wretched creature...
How dare you force that terrifying pesticide down my throat, I must kill...
Left Hand (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)—
At that moment.
The left hand finally could no longer hold back, collapsing next to Lynn and O(x﹏x)o vomiting into the cellar as well.
I'll kill you after I finish vomiting!
Urgh—
[Ding! Little Treasure's anger toward you +10!]
...
After vomiting for a solid ten-plus minutes.
Lynn weakly leaned against the cellar entrance, his whole body trembling, breathing heavily, his face deathly pale.
His left hand similarly O(x﹏x)o slumped over the cellar edge, its long tongue hanging limply, completely exhausted from vomiting.
"Truce..."
Lynn panted:
"I'll chop you up after I recover a bit..."
"Agreed." The left hand O(x﹏x)o hung limply, saying;
"I have no appetite for you right now either, I'll eat you later..."
