Chapter 127: A Cry for Help - IV (1/2)

'Why didn't she start off with that attack in the first place?' Merlin thought to hi the shi+eld once and for all 'I thought she was supposed to be a ranger, why is her strength so high?'

"Guild leaders are overpowered" Merlinpunches rip the titan statue's defences away

It wasn't often that you would see a guild leader in action, but seeing it noas a reminder that there was a reason they were at the top of their fields Merlin wondered hoerful the thieves guild leader would be, as all he could see him as was an eccentric and crafty individual

The titan statue dropped what re the spear around with both hands, but Callisto was nih to avoid all the titan's strikes

The tere ers had stopped shooting arrows at the statue, due to the that they would hit Callisto instead

While the titan was distracted, Merlin drew an arrow and shot it towards the statue of Despoina

The titan statue tried blocking the arroith its hand while it was being overpowered by Callisto, but Merlin watched as the titan's hand was shattered into tiny frag the stone spear to fly away froh the area where the statue's hand once was, and travelled in a direct path towards the statue of Despoina

Unsurprisingly, the statue of Despoina attee the attack, but it wasn't as ni its movement Merlin's arro into part of the statue's veil, causing it to crack, revealing an aret the other statue" Merlin roared as he loaded another arrow

Fortunately, Callisto was still keeping the titan statue occupied She had the statue pinned and ailing on its chest, causing large cracks to forered roars sounded al out of energy Her fists weren't packing as much of a punch as the first few times, and Merlin could even see from a distance that her fists were covered in blood and torn to shreds

'So that's why she didn't start off with that' Merlin thought to himself, 'It must be her last resort, some form of teers began shooting arrows at the statue of Despoina, as helpless to dodgelarge cracks to appear, while others actually ed to hit body parts But once the veil had received enough dae audible crack could be heard as the statue of Despoina herself began ripping out of the veil like it was a shell

Merlin released an arrow, aimed directly for her head, but to his surprise, the statue caught it with her hands

A creepy grin formed on the statue's face

And a few moments later, the statue threw the arrow back at Merlin with so h, ripping all the way through before digging itself into the stone floor a few , and only now did he realise hoerful these statues actually were There wasn't any level floating above its head, neither was there a name or even a health bar, it was likely that the statue wasn't registering as a ed towards Merlin, she was much faster now, even more so than the titan She closed the distance in adown her prey, the expression plastered on her face was now ato be my first death?" Merlin mumbled to himself as the statue stopped in front of him and thrust her hand towards his chest

Merlin struggled with all his ht to twist his body out of the way, and had somehow barely avoided the strike But the statue quickly twisted her body and kicked Merlin to the other side of the room

Merlin hit the wall and slumped onto a pile of rubble It felt like every bone in his body had been shattered, although it didn't seem to be the case as he could stillMerlin off, the statue of Despoina started charging towards Callisto, who had just destroyed one of the titan's legs and left a hole through its chest

Merlin quickly opened his inventory, throwing the bow and quiver in and grabbing out a kilogra down on the meat without hesitation, the taste of blood filled hischewy feeling of raw meat in between his teeth

As he sed aup, and his health was quickly returning

Merlin watched as the statue of Despoina swatted Callisto away She looked severely battered and bruised, her knuckles had been stripped of alht to hiiant cleaver he obtained froeon he raided, the bovine butcher He stared at the additional da his head "She's a bit of a cow, but I don't think that counts"

He glanced at the other weapons in his inventory, his eyes were glued to the goblin hexer's staff, it would have been the perfect weapon to use against the statues, but he couldn't use it for two more levels

"Wait, I don't have to be the one to use it" Hethe staff out of his inventory

He glanced around the area, noticing the various wounded rangers that had been caught in the crossfire between Callisto and the statues

"Can anybody here use ers in the area to look at hiuild roan, his leg had been pierced by so towards hi arrows
