Chapter 91: The Chocobo Riders (2/2)

The sword-wielding kid was already on the thin side, but the boy in the white robe was even smaller. He held a scepter-like staff in his hands, with a cross about the size of a wooden ball sitting atop it—a lot of churches had cross-related elements in their insignias, Beardy couldn’t identify which church they belonged to based on that alone.

But he was certain of one thing, Beardy squinted his eyes, he was sure that the robed kid was giving the warrior kid endless healing and divine buffs.

The warrior kid was visibly getting tired from his intense battles, but with a white glow coming from the robed kid’s palms, he perked up once again.

The kid was something like a battle priest. Beardy planned out his strategy in his head, players with healing and buffing abilities were the gems of their respective churches, but at the same time most of them weren’t battle-savvy, that’s why they would usually have a protector by their side, and it was obvious that the warrior kid was this one’s protector.

That meant that as long as he got rid of this kid first, the remaining chocobo riders could slowly whittle down the stamina of that warrior kid…

In doing so he was basically waging war against the kid’s church, but if he didn’t act now he could die, there wasn’t time to worry about these details!

Beardy steeled himself, he picked up the cavalry sword to his side and rushed towards the robed kid!

Most priests were trained by their churches from a young age, they would flee as soon as situations go south. He had to use all his force right from the get-go to ensure that his target didn’t have time to escape!

The young robed priest seemed to have been stunned, frozen as he watched Beardy advance towards him.

“Die!!!” Beardy had a crazed expression as he charged forward, his cavalry sword could almost reach the boy, but he suddenly noticed that something was off—he was already within striking distance, so why wasn’t the robed kid showing any signs of fear, and he was…laughing?

“Skyward Slash!” The robed kid swung his crossed scepter, sending Beardy into the air with the latter left in utter disbelief, he didn’t understand what was happening.

How could a tiny child shorter than his shoulders with thighs even smaller than his arms send him flying?

He would never get to find out.

“Spear of Victory!”

Golden light gathered into a dazzling spear, cutting through Beardy’s breastplate as easily as a hot knife through butter, skewering him completely!

From the perspective of the casting Jom, his enemy with the title “Mountain Bandit” floating above his head lost his entire health bar in an instant.

“Hey, you said that you’d leave these bad guys for me!” Terry complained to Jom while still fighting off a small herd of chocobo riders.

“You were too slow, he attacked me first, I couldn’t just run away now could I?” Jom sighed. “Hurry up and get rid of the rest or else I’m going to get rid of them for you.”

The riders knew that they were doomed, but it was too late for them to run.

“Divine Earthsplit Blade!”

The second after Terry used his ability, sword beams split the earth in two, even the few bandits who still wanted to take the bloodthirsty kid on were cleanly sliced in half!
