Chapter 123 - A Bloody Battle (1/2)

When the bluish fireball was thrown in the direction of Shiro and the others, Nathalia was ready to use <Bjørnens brystplate>, to at least be able to protect herself and maybe Jilly, but Shiro didn't take even one step back when he saw the fireball coming straight at him.

The huge man wedged his Claymore into the ground, clapped the palms of his metal gloves and stretched his arms forward.

”<Renegade's Barrier>!” He roared. From one second to the next, a barrier appeared with the same golden color as the ornaments of his armor.

This barrier looked like a bear's mouth, but instead of teeth, there were vines, and as soon as the fireball collided with the vines, they wrapped around it and swallowed it. The Wizard's magic was nullified entirely.

After using the ability, Shiro tossed his hair to the side and smiled confidently.

”How did you do that, Son of a bitch!?” The Wizard asked, falling to his knees. The fireball was the most potent magic he knew, and yet it was not effective.

Shiro picked up his huge sword from the ground and replied, ”You are weak. Try again.”

”Attack them!” Tank shouted and began to run forward. In his mind, there was no way such a large group could lose to a trio.

”<Aura Amplification>!” Nathalia shouted, and in the next instant, a loud slam cut through the enemy Tank's armor, causing him to brake his onslaught.

However, even without Tank, the swordmans did not stop and kept running, ready to stockpile anything that came their way.

As soon as they approached Shiro, everyone could hear a loud shout from the Berserker's back. ”Get down!”

Shiro was not very fast, but he tried to duck as quickly as possible because he recognized the voice that gave the order.

Just then, a dish axe that came from high in the trees made an abnormal turn and decapitated one of the sworders. The archers, who already had their strings intending to shoot, were confused, and the Wizard was disturbed.

They looked at the axe that dug into the ground and the head that rolled beside it. Followed by a massive splash of blood, the archers screamed in horror.

Without the Behemoth Axe in hand, Luke jumped from over 10 meters high right onto the shoulders of the remaining swordsman and knocked him out with a kick. Then he bounced back with a pirouette and fell in front of Shiro.

”How did you find us? Our scent?” The big man asked.

”Are you kidding? It's impossible to tell your stench apart with so much blood and mud smelling in this forest.” said Luke, joking about the fact that Shiro only used to take two baths a week.

Shiro almost laughed but was not moved by the turn of events that the half-wolf provided for the battle. The archers quickly began firing as fast as they could at the emerging half-wolf, which confirmed to Luke that they were not going to give up and run away like the men of minutes ago.
