Punch after punch, the flesh on Oscar's knuckles ripped and tore apart. The sounds of cracking bones turned into the sounds of something hitting mud. His opponent's face was completely mutilated and deformed; however, this didn't stop Oscar's onslaught of punches but only increased his maniacal laughter. His twisted expression showed a savage beast with nothing in its mind but slaughter.
It lasted for the better part of 5 minutes. Oscar just repeatedly beat the man's head in until he was totally unrecognisable. As Oscar finished his onslaught of punches, he wiped the sweat coming off his forehead before taking a chunk of flesh out of the upper part of his trapezius muscle. He chewed for quite a while as he searched the man for anything valuable. When he finished his meal and realised the man had nothing of value, he got up and went to look for another worthy opponent.
.....
Somewhere far away from Oscar Sei, he continued his rampage. Not a single living, breathing creature was safe from him. He had killed around 80 people by now, but he wasn't satisfied yet. Well, it would make more sense to say that whatever he had become was not satisfied yet. He was craving blood; however, due to his current state, he was unable to run the blood he drank throughout his muscles and veins and thus wasn't gaining any additional stats. Sei sniffed the air like a bloodhound and began running towards more people ready to be culled.
However, before he could get very far, a man about 5'9" tall stepped in Sei's path. He was completely bald and wore dark grey and black robes along with plain black monk-strap shoes. On his back was a long wooden staff. He had his eyes closed, and in his hands, he held a ring of pitch-black beads that he counted repeatedly. As he got to his last bead, he opened his eyes and stared at Sei, but more importantly, he was staring at Sei's current form.
"Amitabha. Although I have given up the life of a monk, I cannot allow a young man like you to give up your humanity just to become a slaughtering machine. I will help guide you to the light."
The monk swiftly grabbed his staff and hit Sei in the gut with a palm attack before he could even process what he had said. Unfortunately for the monk, he had gravely underestimated Sei's sturdiness. Sei had not moved a single centimetre, which confused both Sei and the monk.
The monk was confused, as he was sure he had added enough force to defeat anyone in the Core Making realm. And Sei was confused, as he thought the monk would be many times stronger than what he had displayed just now. Even Sei couldn't sense the cultivation realm of the monk. However, if Sei had attempted to use [Inspect], it might've been different.
But the monk did not waste any time and continued attacking Sei, repeatedly thrusting his staff into Sei's body. This time, instead of controlling his strength to defeat someone in Sei's current realm, he used as much strength as he could. This time, his attacks worked.
With each thrust, Sei was forced to take a step back. Thrust after thrust, palm after palm, Sei's health was continuously chipped away as he was moved back with every strike. But then Sei began to fight back; he swung his elongated arms, attempting to stab the monk with his elongated nails. The monk threw his staff in between Sei's legs at an angle so that it came up behind Sei, and the monk instantaneously appeared behind Sei.
He masterfully caught his staff before he began jabbing at Sei with it again, sending Sei crashing into another cultivator. To regain some of his health, Sei pierced his head and began drinking his blood. Immediately after, Sei began running towards the monk while his bruises and cuts began visibly healing.
Unluckily for Sei, he had no chance of beating the monk unless he got rid of his staff, or at least that's what he believed as he was jabbed in the head with the monk's staff. Thus he tried his best to swing for the staff instead of the monk; whenever Sei tried to do so, the monk would tactfully spin around Sei's abnormally long arms. He'd then throw his staff at an angle onto the floor and catch it again, after which he'd jab at Sei again.
After noticing this pattern, Sei swung at the monk's staff again, and when the monk threw his staff, Sei activated [Foresight] and saw the angle at which the staff was thrown and acted upon what he had seen. Unexpectedly, the angle at which the monk threw the staff had changed—not completely, but enough that fortunately for Sei, the staff was roughly going in the same direction.
Although Sei was shocked by the change, as long as he could get rid of that staff, he firmly believed that he could kill the monk. He once more swung for the staff, and this time he managed to split it into multiple pieces. However, what Sei thought would lead to his victory only managed to piss off the monk. His eyebrows furrowed, and the veins in his head bulged.
He ran at Sei and drop-kicked him, sending him flying, and then almost teleported behind Sei before rapidly punching and palm-striking Sei repeatedly. After which, using Sei's back as leverage, he dug his feet into Sei's back and wrapped his ring of beads around Sei's throat as he jumped while spinning around to wrap the ring of beads around his neck.
The monk used the full force of his body weight to slam Sei into the ground. He then initiated a full body mount on Sei and hammered away at Sei's face incessantly.
