The Mountain Beast roared and rushed at Bastien. Its movements were fast for its size. But Bastien, who had activated all his skills and eaten a Moon Tangerine for the buff, was faster.
Bastien rolled sideways and used the rebound to leap at the Mountain Beast.
"I rolled for momentum!"
Puk!
His fist connected with the Mountain Beast's head, but the monster did not take much damage. The power behind it only tilted its head slightly to the side.
The Mountain Beast tried to swat Bastien away, but something invisible blocked it.
Using that split second, Bastien stepped back and shook out his hand.
"Ouch... Even with the gloves, I can't hurt it."
He was wearing the gloves Jude had lent him. Even though Jude and Ilaria had told him not to fight monsters with his bare hands anymore, he was still doing it. In the first place, his way of life was to accept any advice but only follow it if he felt like it.
