Shoujo Hater-Chapter 63 - 58 : unpredictable
As Lin caught his dagger, he started jumping rapidly until he broke into a dense gathering of trees.
He began leaping between them, using the branches as swings, passing through the forest in a short time.
At this moment, everything ahead of him stood still.
All that remained was the mountain.
Holding the dagger in his mouth, he used his physique and lightness to climb the final tree, reaching the base of the mountain.
He climbed swiftly, and in less than one minute, he stood atop the mountain cliff.
Without wasting time, he activated his Serpent Shadow Control.
He was now above Isphyrlya’s current flying height of nine hundred meters.
Thanks to Jin’s past knowledge of mathematics and physics, he calculated the height and angle perfectly.
The mathematics were finished.
Only the physics part remained.
He raised his dagger in his right hand, then with his left hand, he formed two poisonous shadow serpents on its opposite sides.
From a loophole in the dagger, he generated a small but extremely strong blue mana rope and tied it tightly.
Hoooooooooooooooof.
Lin exhaled a long breath.
“It’s time to kill this flying lizard.”
He clenched his dagger tightly as a mischievous smile appeared on his face, then jumped from the mountain.
He adjusted his body into a straight line, shortening his posture and gripping the dagger with both hands, forming a perfect one hundred eighty degree angle.
After penetrating eight hundred eighty meters and gaining terrifying momentum, his tattoos and eyes glowed for a second, releasing a blue light.
The poisonous shadow serpent exploded, causing minor damage to Isphyrlya’s back.
Before destroying the shadow serpent, Lin had only two choices.
Either he detonated it to redirect Isphyrlya using the poisonous explosion, or he made it disappear silently.
But he could not predict if Isphyrlya would change direction at any moment.
If that happened, he could lose his momentum or worse, be countered accidentally, destroying everything he had prepared.
So he had no better choice than the first.
As she turned to check her back, Lin was already transported, falling directly above Isphyrlya with full momentum.
He canceled his blue eyes and charged his dagger with cursed dark Ma’holic energy.
“Surprise bitch.”
Without giving her time to react, Lin’s dagger penetrated her body.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Isphyrlya let out a painful scream as blood poured from her mouth.
Lin grabbed her with his upper hand and flipped her, forcing both of them into a violent rotation as they fell, their speed increasing rapidly.
Isphyrlya tried to use her wings to change her fall and escape.
But Lin seized both wings, controlling her back.
She attempted to transform into her dragon form to reduce the impact.
But Lin countered her by biting her right ear and tearing it apart, canceling her body control as she screamed.
Isphyrlya crashed into the bottom of the mountain, impaling herself on sharp spikes near a hill.
Lin used her as a shield, slamming her body into the mountain, making the right side of her skull shatter.
The collision hurled Lin away.
He coughed blood as he crashed into the back of a tree, breaking it with his body.
Haa... haaaa...
“Is she dead?”
As the snowy fog dispersed, Isphyrlya stood up.
Her face was furious, blood spilling from her mouth.
She removed Lin’s dagger from her bleeding heart and threw it away.
Lin instantly pulled it back using the tiny mana rope, returning it to his right hand.
“It’s you again, you filthy rat.”
“So you appeared again.”
“You should have taken the chance to escape.”
“But instead, you came to me yourself.”
“You think you can defeat me with these cheap tricks?”
“What a fool.”
“Me beat you? No. I’m going to kill you.”
Without wasting time, Lin activated his eyes and unleashed his signature move, the Black Poisonous Slashes.
Isphyrlya tried to block them with her snowy shield, but the slashes pierced through, carving deep scratches into her body.
As she tried to regain focus, Lin was already in front of her.
His right leg smashed into her face, sending her flying three meters away.
She regained her composure and began transforming into her dragon form.
But midway, a shocking wave of poisonous blood burst from her body, forcing her back into human form.
“What did you do?”
Lin smiled.
“You poisoned me?”
“What did you expect me to be? The same person who fought you before? I will say it again. I am gonna kill you.”
Lin placed his left hand on the dagger again, forming two shadow serpents.
He threw it toward her face.
Isphyrlya tilted her head aside, dodging it.
The dagger pierced deeply into the mountain.
Then, without giving her time, Lin pulled it back instantly, leaving a long scratch across Isphyrlya’s face.
Isphyrlya’s breathing started growing rapid.
Her priority now was to stop the damage and minimize the losses.
She closed her eyes and froze the poison inside her body.
Then she opened them again with a calm, emotionless face.
If you want smoother pacing or a colder transformation, I can refine it further.
She slammed her hand into the ground, forming a massive magic circle as icy spikes erupted everywhere.
Lin jumped back to evade, but as Isphyrlya planned, she appeared behind him with an elite speed.
Lin sensed the danger but did not stop.
He spun backward, used her back as a stepping point, leaped onto a tree, then pressed both legs against the trunk before bouncing back and kicking off it, striking her skull at the already broken spot.
She was sent flying back.
Lin threw his dagger, piercing the eye beside her frozen bleeding hand.
She screamed and used her other hand to rip it out.
Lin took a boxer’s stance, his speed rising as his blue eye fully focused.
He closed the distance, moving in strange, wavering patterns from left to right, making his body deliberately unbalanced and harder to read.
At that moment, Lin appeared like a massive black serpent with glowing blue eyes, devouring everything in its path.
Punch after punch landed on Isphyrlya, sending her flying back in pain and blood.
Without stopping, Lin switched styles.
His elbow struck her chest, smashing her into the mountain.
Then he unleashed a storm of thousands of punches, crushing her body against the mountain and bouncing her repeatedly.
A final kick slammed into her face, sending her several meters away.
Isphyrlya flipped backward, ripped the dagger from her eye, and her aura exploded outward.
She began consuming her blessing.
She decided to go all out, even if it meant death and losing her tier levels.
Lin sensed the terrifying aura and recognized the danger.
He rushed to finish her before anything changed.
He cut part of the skin on his finger, letting a drop of blood fall, mixed it with poison, and flicked it toward her other eye.
She predicted it, shut her eyes, and charged at him.
Lin tore off the upper part of his clothes, leaving only the garment covering his legs, and infused it with mana.
He had already understood Isphyrlya’s heightened senses. The moment she grabbed the shirt, reacting purely on instinct, a massive snowy explosion erupted, piercing the sky.
If Lin had taken that attack directly, it would have meant his death.
At that moment, Lin awakened his light blue eyes into dark blue ones. It was the second awakening of his eyes. Thanks to Nullen, he had pushed his limits far enough to force this awakening.
His body tensed, his nerves standing out as his breath slowed. He rotated around Isphyrlya, his presence fading completely. It felt as if everything had gone dark and no one else existed.
In that instant, Lin seemed like a shadow given form, as though his entire body was focused on a single point.
His shadow soul moved first, redirecting itself straight toward Isphyrlya’s heart. When Lin opened his eyes, he moved at the same moment as his shadow soul, striking with identical speed. His attack pierced Isphyrlya’s heart and carried him three meters past her.
Isphyrlya dropped to her knees, her body collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
Without wasting a moment, Lin devoured her heart in a single bite.
Mana surged violently through his body, and he fell to the ground as a massive wave of cold washed over the area, spreading and wavering around him. Still, he endured everything, ready to check on the dragon to see whether he had truly managed to kill her.
Suddenly, a massive energy began to surge from her body.
In that moment, a variable Lin had never expected or even known emerged. Isphyrlya activated her trump card, the second heart, an ability unique to the White Dragon Clan, a lineage in which every member was born with two hearts. This second heart was the clan’s ultimate trump card, revealed only in moments of absolute desperation. It consumed an enormous amount of mana, yet in return, it generated an even greater supply. Forced to awaken it, and fueled by the anger and hatred consuming her, she broke through and unlocked her next tier.
Without warning, Lin found himself facing an overwhelming threat, born from an unpredictable variable.
The only choice available to Lin was to end the fight as quickly as possible. As her body adjusted to the new breakthrough and fell fully under its control, any delay would doom both his plan and his life.
What would he do now?
This was his final chance.

Human Estimation vs. Lin’s Perception:
In real life, humans estimate air movement and height by reading environmental cues such as drifting snow, the speed of fog, falling debris, pressure against the body, and how sound behaves in open space. Skydivers and climbers do this instinctively, judging vertical distance and wind shear within rough margins, often accurate only within tens of meters. Lin relied on the same principles, observing air resistance through moving snow layers and subtle pressure changes during descent. However, unlike humans, Lin’s awakened eyes magnified these cues thousands of times, allowing him to perceive micro air currents, exact vertical displacement, and precise momentum buildup. What would be a rough approximation for a human became a near perfect calculation for him.
Physics and Mathematics Behind Lin’s Calculation:
Lin’s actions followed real physical laws supported by basic mathematics that humans unconsciously approximate. The first was gravitational acceleration, where a falling body accelerates at a constant rate. As height increases, velocity increases in proportion to time spent falling. The second was kinetic energy, calculated through velocity, meaning that speed growth dramatically increased impact force. The third was air resistance, where drag increases with surface area and posture. By aligning his body vertically and tightening his form, Lin mathematically minimized drag and preserved speed. Finally, relative motion was considered by predicting Isphyrlya’s position and forcing a reaction through detonation. Human estimates rely on intuition, but Lin’s enhanced perception allowed him to solve these physical and mathematical relationships with near absolute accuracy.
Effect of Gravity Differences:
Since gravity differed from Earth’s, all calculations would change. Stronger gravity would make the fall faster, increasing kinetic energy and the impact’s lethality while reducing the margin for error. Weaker gravity would slow the fall, lower impact force, and make air resistance more significant, requiring precise adjustment of posture, timing, and attacks. Lin’s enhanced perception allows him to instantly read these differences, observing snow drift, air pressure, and micro currents, and to recalculate momentum and trajectory in real time. What humans can only approximate, Lin measures and corrects instantly, maintaining near-perfect accuracy regardless of gravity.
