Chapter 95: Being Extra Petty (2/2)
Contrary to expectations though, there was no blood splattered everywhere from that attack, instead, as the arrows struck home, they disintegrated like watery shadows and the rangers had all simply been knocked unconscious.
Azar could barely believe his eyes. To think they had lost all their rangers so quickly made him a bit nervous. It was one thing to go head to head against an opponent but he wasn't adept at fighting opponents like these that fought sneakily and avoided any direct confrontation.
The red troll charged at the two shadow Rogue wielding crossbows and Azar joined him while the other ogres and beastmen tried to back up the Battle troll as much as possible.
Tyler watched the battle in satisfaction at the teamwork of the trolls and ogres. The only people that could match up against his undead were Azar and the two unique trolls. Against a normal opponent, the strategy they had employed would've been effective but keeping your only rangers in the back when going up against assassin-type opponents was just asking for trouble.
Rekaz charged at the two rogues with his new spear raised high. However, they easily moved around him and fired multiple arrows at the other ogres and beastmen. The rogue Kazko was going up against also did not fight back and occasionally found the opportunity to attack the weaker opponents.
Azar realized what the shadow rogues were trying to do but there was nothing he could do to stop them as he could not even touch them. The battle went on like this and soon only the three of them were left standing against the shadows.
Turning their heads to the side they saw the wide smile on Tyler's face and it almost drove them insane. There is no way they would give him the satisfaction of losing like this.
For some reason, their thoughts seem to resonate with each other as they all acknowledged what they needed to do next. Without hesitation, they all activated their berserk skills, and charged at the shadows with reckless abandonment.
Albert sighed with reservation at their line of thinking. Who would've thought those three would make such a decision at the same time. However, just like Lord Ty, they had let their emotions get the better of them and all they were doing was prolonging the inevitable.
With a Savage burst of energy, all three of them had a drastic increase in their abilities and they charged at the three shadow rogues with their various other skills.
With the increase in speed, they closed in on their opponent faster than they had even done before and prepared to land their attacks before the shadow rogues could escape. However, the Shadow rogues did not try to escape, rather they also charged in.
Azar, Rekaz, and Kazko all sneered at this foolishness. The only advantage the shadow rogues had against them was their speed and their shrewd ability to merge with the shadows and escape. Choosing to take a frontal attack from three Tier 4 warriors such as themselves was a foolish decision.
With their rapidly increasing confidence, they all used their strongest attack skills without hesitation.
°Mountain Smash°
°Lacerating Slash°
”One Spear Six Strikes.”
Each attack aimed at a different shadow rogue and with a multitude of colorful auras. Their strikes were true to their targets, destroying both the shadow rogue's feeble attempt to block and the shadow rogues themselves.
Smiles blossomed on their faces as they all turned to look at Tyler with confidence in their faces. However, the same evil grin that had been on his face from the start of this fight still remained plastered on his face, and immediately, the confidence drained from their souls at the same time.
Shadows grew from the ground behind them rapidly as the bodies of the shadow rogues formed and they instantly launched a devastating barrage of attacks on them.
Skill - Shadow Assault
The undead had an unlimited supply of stamina so the attacks continuously descended upon them like a meteor shower. Their precision and coordination were without flaws and their strikes did not miss.
Even when they managed to get an attack in, the shadow rogues just turned into shadows and appeared behind them again. In less than 5 minutes all three of them fell to the ground unable to withstand the strike anymore.
Seeing them finally aware that all Tier 4 were not built equal, Tyler halted the rogues with a satisfied expression on his face. He approached the exhausted trio and congratulated them. ”Good job, that was indeed entertaining... The next time I'm chanced, let's do it again with more rogues alright.”
The color seems to drain off the trio's face as they struggled to catch their breaths and Tyler just briskly walked away and out of the room. The shadow Rogues had already disappeared without him even giving them the order.
He felt strangely satisfied after practically torturing an innocent group for no reason at all. Perhaps he was slowly joining the dark side. Here's hoping otherwise. Tyler walked out of the hall with no plan in mind.
He didn't have anything he needed to do urgently so he thought he would just hang out with everyone and relax his mind before he visited Bungo for his new weapon.
