Chapter 108 (1/2)
Hao Ren regretted the moment he threw the MDT out: what if the lady had gotten away with the MDT? He may not have been able to get a replacement from Raven 12345…
However, what happened next proved that not everyone has bats in the belfry like the lasses in Hao Ren’s house. When the scarred lady saw the hexagonal, metal object with a bluish glow, her first thought was it being some kind of ‘hidden weapon’. Wary that it may have been an explosive, she did not parry it. In the blink of an eye, she spatially shifted and reemerged 20 meters away. She raised her crossbow almost immediately and fired a shot!
Hao Ren was prepared this time. His muscles were ready to fire whenever he summoned them. As the silver bolt approached, he quickly slanted his body… but he was still hit in the knee.
The scarred lady was puzzled; the weirdo fought like a pro and moved with style yet somehow, he would still get hit every time. As a professional in her own right, she had no idea what Hao Ren was up to. Hao Ren brooded. Man could never beat the speed of a quarrel. As he was at it, several tinkling sounds from his back bothered him. Some of the demon hunters were sniping him from behind.
He kept performing his evasive maneuvers until sudden realization hit him: bullet dodging happened only in movies. Since he had the Steel Membrane Shield, he would make a good main tank and take the enemies head on.
He did not want to be in the defensive anymore. With all his strength and speed, he pounced at one of the demon hunters closest to him!
The demon hunters could not perform teleportation continuously. There was always a two to three seconds buffer time before they could do another one. The window was shorter than it seemed but it was the only opening. With a fast enough speed and some good luck, he may just be able to take down a few slowpokes, provided the Steel Membrane Shield would last.
“Ding, ding, ding.” With each tinkling there was a small explosion as the quarrel or arrow hit him. Each explosion meant that the enemy’s ammo was being depleted at an equal sum. He had thought of an idea to defeat these archers: draw the fire to himself!
His spirit fired up. He took off his torn coat and stood in the middle of the ground. “Hey kids, shoot me!” he uttered.
The demon hunters realized that the man with strange body armor was invincible. They looked at each other and agreed in unison that it was a waste of ammo attacking him. They ignored him and turned their eyes to the others.
“Damn it!” Hao Ren noticed the sudden shift of circumstances.He jumped and waved like a puppy yet no one gave him a second look. He was humiliated. Then, the scarred lady who attacked him from behind a while ago came into view. He shouted and rushed towards her. “You, come and get me!”
The scarred lady was taken aback. She swiftly turned aside and dodged Hao Ren’s fist. As she raised her crossbow to retaliate, she got cold feet. She proceeded to call out, “Rowan, he’s yours!”
“Why are you holding back? I’m running out of quarrels!”
“J, your turn!”
“Get lost, do you actually think your sacred silver is free?”
No one paid attention to Hao Ren. Then, he saw his chance. He pounced on a tall guy from behind. “Eat this!”
Boff! One down.
