Chapter 61: Finally a Tutorial (3) (2/2)
Kuaaaaaah!
Suddenly, Allen heard a roar that cracked all the hope and wishful thoughts he had It wasn’t the roar of a single mutant, but a chorus of dozens Allen beca from the fire There were over thirty of the to keep up, but with thirty more mutants in the mix? It seemed obvious ould happen
However, Allen remained composed The enemy had revealed their entire forces now It was time for them to return the favor As he expected, he soon heard a cry reverberating around the hill on the other side
Waaaaaaah!
The fourth tea finally ht of these newcomers, stunned Then they started to fall one after another How could such hardy mutants fall like the autu the recruits who could s geton top of the hill
Ru A the fourth teah the center after deter the existence of a coanized, the recruits believed therethe monsters behind the scenes Thus, Ru Amuh was supposed to find the commander and kill theh Ru A the enemy’s commander first because the situation had turned vastly unfavorable, this wasn’t the time to nitpick about suchtwentyhim If that was true, their odds would be even
‘What?’ Allen’s eyes widened when he saw Ru A towards the center
Whooosh!+
His front bangs flew froust of wind, and before Allen could blink, Ru Amuh had dashed past hih the air before Ru Amuh could finish his sentence A mutant’s head, severed by Ru Amuh’s sword, rolled to the botto slower,” Ru A his sword “If you all endure a bit et that we’re still in the middle of a battle, sir”
Allen realized that he had been standing shell-shocked the entire time, and before he could open his mouth, Ru Amuh swooped past him He whizzed past his companions in the midst of combat and cut off their eneain and decapitated another mutant before the monster could stoht! Under 30 seconds, Ru Amuh had severed five heads and returned to the center to join the rest of the fourth tea
“Hah!” Allen burst into laughter as he saw a headless mutant flounder before him in confusion He couldn’t believe it, but the tide was turning in favor of the heroes Ru Aer and lend theh not all the mutants were immobilized yet, they were in a far better situation than before Everyone applauded Ru A skills as a hero and Chi-Woo’s keen eye for picking him
Allen picked up the sword he had dropped Ru Amuh had told him that they could win Victory had seemed so distant, but it was noithin their reach
“Everyone please endure!” he shouted
‘Perhaps, just perhaps…’ Digging into his last reserve of hope, Allen shouted, “Don’t try to immobilize theo anywhere else! If we endure, victory would be ours!”
At the sa hill It wasn’t easy to see under the night sky, but black s haze and water vapor A dark robe fluttered in the wind like a ghost, and fro their tongue
—…Tch
The ure was displeased This battle was meant to be a simple experiure hadn’t expected these huht Further beyond their expectations, and they were still fighting rather than suffering the complete annihilation that should’ve taken place by now
The robed figure’s faction had been confident that they would be victorious In fact, the idea that they would have to ‘battle’ such pesky beings was ludicrous to begin with Like how hu with the s Thus, he was extremely displeased by the current situation, and he scanned the battlefield intently to figure out how this had happened
—Is it because of that guy?
Seeing the blonde hero as defeating ure pulled up both of his sleeves
–Can’t let that happen
The robed figure’sattacked siht now, so he had to save asthese mutants that could act as meat shi+elds was undesirable An unidentifiable incantation seeped out froe occurred
“What!?”
While fighting a headless ed suddenly fro shape, see a new head Moreover…
“W—what?”
“Uh, uhhhh…!”
The an to rise one by one New bodies grew froan to attach the scattered arrotesque patchworks of mismatched parts The situation couldn’t have been ht so hard to defeat were getting up again However, some of them had the presence of mind to look around for the cause of the transformation
“There!” One of them pointed to the air Ru A, and saw a robe fluttering in the night sky
“Go!” One of the heroes fighting by his side pushed Ru Amuh on his back
“Get him, please! Quickly!”
They had to kill the one responsible for the eneration if they wanted the battle to turn in their favor again Knowing this, Ru A that looked to be a commander and left the rest to his companions
Swish!+
With a yell, a fiery gust of wind burst around him However, before it could form into a ind, the robe disappeared without a trace Ru A sensation from behind his back
He quickly turned around and swung his sword, but ended up slicing into nothing but air His opponent had disappeared like a ghost again
‘It was there’ Ru A in the air and closed his eyes Then he focused on heightening all his senses Synesthesia— it was the ability to arouse other senses with one sense When he detected a foreign substance within his senses’ reach, he quickly pushed forward and hurled a sharp wind towards the area His attack landed on its target this time, yet the wind blades failed to slice the robe and ended up smoldered by it instead
—Oh
There was a short exclamation
—How did you knohere I was? Do you kno to manipulate space?
Ru Ay again as he raised his sword
Pop!
The robe suddenly inflated like a balloon, and black san to pour out of the sleeves and the hood The smoke spread out like a peacock’s feathers and moved individually like a hydra’s an to increase in size Ru Amuh narrowed his eyes and backed two steps away Malicious energy swirled around him, so dark that itdeath
—I don’t kno, but…you are a bit dangerous No, you can be dangerous in the future
A skin-crawling voice spoke, and Ru A his sword at the source, but it was in vain The s briefly dispersed by the wind blades One of the ed at Ru A wind, but the smoke seeped into his wind like it was meant to be part of it and wormed its way into his hand
“Kuh!”
Ru Amuh dropped his sword His hand had turned black
‘Thisin front of him was a monster, an alchemist who had died and beco was a lich Even in Ru Amuh’s world, a lich was a tricky opponent to handle He was facing a high-level enemy that was far beyond his ability
‘What a ht if there was a monster of this level, especially when he had only recovered about one-fifth of his original power The lich wasn’t a being that Ru Amuh could handle at his current level
—What a pity
The lich cohtly in his grasp
—But it’s probably better than letting you live At least I can use your corpse afterward
The lich’s robe wrapped Ru Ahtly, and the lichhi to shred Ru Aht back
Bang!
They suddenly heard so Allen was about to shout in horror, Ru Hiana was a , and even Ru Amuh had widened his eyes, but to their surprise, a chunk of the great lue sinkhole popping suddenly into existence on a road Furthermore, the sy nonstop began to disperse Ru Amuh hadn’t been able to scatter any of the smoke per

It couldn’t be true, but the lich found his life force draining from him
—How…
The lich turned around in disbelief Looking past Ru A a jet-black club under the silverish ht
“Senior…!” Ru Hiana whimpered They were saved
—How did he…!
The lich watched as Chi-Woo approached, holding the club with both hands like he was holding a baseball bat
“Goodbye,” Chi-Woo repeated the lich’s words back to hiht
