Chapter 775: The Haunted Forest [Part 3]
Villain Ch 775. The Haunted Forest [Part 3]
On the back row, Bored Hunter’s hands trembled slightly as he notched an arrow to his bowstring, his gaze fixed intently on the towering werewolf before him. Despite his experience as an archer, the sight of such a formidable foe sent a shiver of apprehension down his spine. Yet, he knew he had no choice but to stand his ground and fight.
With a deep breath to steady his nerves, Bored Hunter drew back the string of his bow, feeling the familiar tension build as he aimed his shot at the werewolf’s massive form. His heart pounded in his chest as he focused his concentration, blocking out the chaos of battle around him as he zeroed in on his target.
Quickly, Bored Hunter seized the opportunity to unleash his Arrow Strike skill. With practiced precision, he released the tension on his bowstring, sending two arrows hurtling toward the werewolf’s chest with deadly accuracy.
However, to Bored Hunter’s dismay, the werewolf reacted with lightning-fast reflexes, swatting the arrows aside with a powerful swipe of its claw. The force of the blow sent Bored Hunter’s arrows veering off course and embedding themselves harmlessly in the forest floor. It was because of their level gap. It was the reason why he complained in the first place.
As the werewolf’s attention remained focused on Arcana and Bored Hunter, Azura seized the opportunity to launch her own attack from the opposite side. With a swift and fluid motion, she drew her twin blades and lunged forward, aiming for the werewolf’s exposed left side.
However, to Azura’s surprise, the werewolf reacted with lightning-fast reflexes, deflecting her blades with a skillful parry and countering with a vicious horizontal swing of his machete. The deadly arc of the weapon threatened to cleave through both Azura and Red_King, who stood nearby, with lethal force.
Instinct kicked in as Azura’s assassin training took over. With cat-like agility, she leaped back with a nimble grace, narrowly evading the deadly strike. As she landed gracefully on the forest floor, her mind raced with thoughts of her next move. She knew that facing the werewolf head-on would be risky, especially with his formidable strength and deadly weapon.
Glancing around her surroundings, Azura’s eyes settled on a tall tree looming nearby. Without a moment’s hesitation, she darted toward it, her movements swift and sure. With agile grace, she leaped onto the tree’s sturdy branches, using her expert climbing skills to ascend higher and higher until she reached a vantage point high above the forest floor.
From her perch in the tree, Azura had a clear view of the battlefield below and waited for the perfect moment to strike.
Meanwhile, the monster’s attack came straight to Arcana. Arcana braced himself, raising his shield to block the impending blow. However, before the blade could make contact, Greatest Healer sprang into action, invoking his Barrier skill with swift precision.
[A Barrier has been created!]
In an instant, a shimmering barrier materialized in front of Arcana, forming a protective barrier between him and the oncoming attack.
- Bang!
With a deafening crash, the werewolf’s machete collided with the barrier, sending shockwaves reverberating through the air. Read new adventures at NovelBin.Côm
Arcana felt a surge of relief wash over him as he realized the barrier had successfully intercepted the werewolf’s strike. He spared a quick glance at Greatest Healer, offering a silent nod of gratitude for his timely intervention. Without the healer’s quick thinking and skilled use of magic, Arcana might have suffered a devastating blow.
Taking the opportunity, Red_King seized the opportune moment to strike. With a swift and agile leap, he propelled himself into the air, wielding his sword with determination.
With a resounding battle cry, Red_King brought his blade down in a powerful overhead strike, aiming directly for the werewolf’s head. The werewolf, caught off guard by the sudden assault, reacted instinctively, shifting its position to evade the incoming blow.
However, despite its agility, the werewolf was not fast enough to completely avoid Red_King’s attack. The sharp edge of Red_King’s sword made contact with the monster’s arm, slicing through its thick fur and flesh with a burst of crimson.
[You have slashed a werewolf by 2434 HP!]
The werewolf roared in pain as blood spurted from the wound, staining its fur a dark shade of red. Despite the injury, however, the beast’s ferocity remained undiminished, its primal instincts driving it to retaliate with even greater force.
Red_King, having landed gracefully back on the ground, quickly assessed the situation. While his attack had succeeded in injuring the werewolf, it was clear that the creature was far from defeated. Its menacing aura only seemed to intensify, fueled by a primal rage that burned deep within its eyes.
Azura recognized the perfect opportunity to strike. With agility and precision, she leaped forward. Her heart pounded with adrenaline as she closed the distance between herself and the monstrous creature. With a fierce determination in her eyes, Azura focused all her energy on delivering a devastating blow to the beast.
She descended upon the werewolf. Her blades found their mark, sinking deep into the creature’s thick fur and flesh.
[You have stabbed a werewolf by 531 HP!] X2
The werewolf let out a deafening roar of agony as pain surged through its body.
In a desperate attempt to dislodge Azura, the werewolf thrashed violently, its massive frame shaking with exertion. Azura held on grimly, her muscles straining against the force of the creature’s movements.
But despite her best efforts, Azura could feel herself losing her grip. With a sudden and powerful motion, the werewolf flung her away, sending her hurtling through the air with tremendous force.
Azura braced herself for the impact, knowing that the landing would be harsh and unforgiving. However, just as she was about to collide with a nearby tree, she felt a sudden surge of energy envelop her.
"Barrier!"
[A Barrier has been created!]
To her surprise, Father^Alex had reacted swiftly, summoning a protective barrier to shield her from harm. The transparent shield enveloped Azura, cushioning her fall.
